Will a New J & amp;J and Apple Collaboration Lead to Better AFib Outcomes?
Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen Pharmaceuticals is teaming up with Apple for a research study to look at how to help improve atrial fibrillation (AFib) outcomes, including stroke prevention, through the use of wearables. The partnership will use an app developed by J&J along with the Cupertino, CA-based company’s Apple Watch.
Recall in September of 2018, Apple received FDA clearance for an ECG app and another software-only mobile medical app analyzing pulse rates for irregular rhythms.
Both companies said the multi-year research program will be launched later in 2019. This large-sca...

FDA Eyes Tailored Approach to Regulating AI-Based Medical Devices
FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb is making the most of his final week at the agency.
In the month that has passed since Gottlieb rattled the medical device industry with news of his impending resignation, the commissioner has issued 18 public statements pertaining to nearly all corners of the agency's realm, from food, tobacco, and cosmetics to drugs and devices. Friday is Gottlieb's last day on the job.
On Tuesday, Gottlieb said the agency will consider a new regulatory framework for reviewing medical devices that use advanced artificial intelligence algorithms. AI has been making headlines in medtech for a whi...

Published Study Supports MyoKardia ’s Wrist-Worn Biosensor
MyoKardia’s said data on its wrist-worn digital health device was published in an article titled, “Machine Learning Detection of Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (oHCM) Using a Wearable Biosensor,†in the Nature Partner Journal, Digital Medicine.
The South San Francisco-based company said results from an exploratory study provided encouraging evidence of the potential for a wrist-worn biosensor to screen for obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
The study demonstrated that continuous monitoring using a wrist-worn photoplethysmography (PPG) digital health devic...

Age Well with Smart HealthTech
America is going gray. According to U.S. Census data, in 2030 even the youngest Baby Boomers will have reached 65, and older Americans will make up 21 percent of the population. That’s up from 15 percent today. By 2060, nearly a quarter of Americans will be at least 65 and a half million will reach age 100.
These changing demographics give urgency to the concept of “aging in place.†Nobody wants to lose their independence, but that’s the reality for many who are forced from their homes by cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes or other chron...

Facebook Makes Its Healthcare Debut
Cristin Moran, CEO of Growth Science, said it best last week at MD&M Minneapolis when she said almost every industry is interested in healthcare. We've already seen Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google make power moves in healthcare, so it should come as no surprise that Facebook has now made its healthcare debut.
The social media giant announced this week that it is developing products and partnerships aimed at connecting people with healthcare resources, starting with a new Preventive Health tool for U.S. consumers.
Facebook said it is working with U.S. health organizations to offer the new tool, which is...

What ’s the Big Deal about Data in Medtech?
Discussion, “Top 5 Things You Need to Know about the Implantable Internet of Things."
Brian Chapman, partner and leader of ZS’s medtech practice of ZS, attributes today’s focus on data to the intersection of two important things:
"A general recognition that understanding more and connecting actions with outcomes will provide feedback and understanding that will drive standards of care. This is not new, but as capabilities rise in data collection, aggregation, and synthesize rise, and coupled with machine learning, the promise of data in healthcare is becoming even more ...

Consider the Promises and Challenges of Medical Image Analyses Using Machine Learning
Medical imaging saves millions of lives each year, helping doctors detect and diagnose a wide range of diseases, from cancer and appendicitis to stroke and heart disease. Because non-invasive early disease detection saves so many lives, scientific investment continues to increase. Artifical intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the medical imaging industry by sifting through mountains of scans quickly and offering providers and patients with life-changing insights into a variety of diseases, injuries, and conditions that may be hard to detect without the supplemental technology.
Images are the largest source...
