The Current State Of Almost 700 FDA-Approved, AI-Based Medical Devices
The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in healthcare has reshaped the industry. And due to the recent march of ChatGPT, Midjourney and similar tools, various AI algorithms have entered the lives of the general population as well. These technologies will undoubtedly change the way medicine is practiced. Given that healthcare is an industry where decisions can literally be a matter of life and death, the importance of effective regulation can’t be overstated. Now this is one hell of a challenge even for the most seasoned professionals.
AI and ML present novel regulatory challenges. Unlike...

The Courage of Corporate America is Needed to End America ’ s Opioid Crisis
By RYAN HAMPTON
A Kaiser Family Foundation tracking poll published in July found that three in ten U.S. adults (29%) said they had someone in their family who struggled with opioid dependence. Also surprising, and encouraging, was the statistic that 90% support increasing access to opioid use disorder treatment programs in their communities.
As a person in recovery from opioid use disorder and advocate, my read on this data set is that the public support is there. Now more than ever, we need leaders in healthcare, public policy, and corporate America to have the courage to advance effective treatment options. T...

Escape diagnostic rabbit holes with Markov chains
If you find yourself heading down a rabbit hole pursuing a diagnosis, consider using a Markov chain to get back out. No, it’s not a physical chain. It’s a metaphorical chain. In mathematics, statistics, and research, a Markov chain is a series of branching events where the options of what comes next at each branch

How Digital Health Companies Attract Software Engineers: Goals
Companies creating health care applications, digital fitness solutions, and other health-related software compete fiercely for technical staff. An article by Developers.Net cites various statistics suggesting that demand outstrips the supply of programmers by hundreds of thousands of people. Other disciplines (such as needed for data science and machine learning) are also hotly contested.
Anmol Madan, co-founder and CEO of RadiantGraph, says that tech experts might need to accept a pay cut to work for a small digital health company. Startups just can’t compete with major employers such as Google on salary and benefit...

The Most Overhyped Technologies in Healthcare
The hype about technological development in healthcare should not blind us in terms of the probabilities and possibilities of today’s healthcare and the future of medicine. To remain objective and conscious but still optimistic, let’s look at the most overhyped technologies and keep in mind the realistic development opportunities in healing.
You know the saying: the pessimist says the glass is half empty, the optimist says it is half full, and, well, the cynic asks who drank the other half? I’m truly an optimist – especially when it comes to the future of medicine and healthcare, but we need to ask the uncom...

A query in the ICMR study on sudden deaths in Covid times : How can the control group is also vaccinated ?
Conclusion is fair
It is traditional (and acceptable ) to blame the heart for all unexplained sudden deaths. The study suggests that heavy drinking, along with with intense physical activity in the background of positive family history, is behind many of the deaths. It is a fair assumption that they are all cardiac. Sudden neurological and pulmonary deaths are under reported. In fact many of the SCD is an arrhythmic event originating from CNS or electro-ionic triggers in blood with the healthy heart
Is this not a major limitation*
