The Big Consult: Bringing Technology to Life
The previous articles in this series looked at differences between digital settings and clinical ones, along with criteria for choosing technologies. This final article looks at practical evaluation of vendors, and how to plan for a deployment.
Evaluating the Vendor
The traits of the vendor you work with are at least as important as the technology they offer—even more important, according to Aaron Neinstein, chief medical officer at Notable. He points out that products will change quickly along with the environments where they are used. Therefore, you must make sure that the clinicians and vendors are “aligned on...

The Big Consult: Additional Criteria for Adopting a Digital App or Service
The previous article in this series laid out key criteria for choosing a digital solution to clinical problems. We’ll continue with some other less known, but still important, criteria in this article.
In addition to the traits mentioned in the previous article, several others were cited by Christine Vogel, lead nurse educator at UbiSim:
Ease of use: the vendor needs to bring in user experience (UX) designers and subject-matter experts.
Flexibility: Because no two clinical sites are quite alike, the technology should be easy to adapt to each site.
Accessibility: People with different physical and intellectual abilit...

The Big Consult: Major Criteria for Adopting a Digital App or Service
This article, and the next, lay out criteria for choosing a solution.
Even once you know what you need in your clinical setting, demonstrating the value of a new technology is hard. Dr. Omar Manejwala, chief medical officer at DarioHealth, looks for real-world evidence of outcomes. A study by the vendor is nice to see, but is it peer reviewed by a neutral party? Dr. Tim Church, chief medical officer at Wondr Health, similarly recommends checking that the app follows modern, evidence-based treatment guidelines.
“During the COVID-19 quarantine, literally thousands of new apps sprung up, particularly related to weight l...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, January 22nd 2024
In this study, we found that DMC reduced the SASP level in senescent cells. Furthermore, senescent cells enter irreversible cell cycle arrest, which involves the activation of p53/p21 and Rb/p16. In this study we found that the expression levels of p21 and p16 were decreased after DMC treatment. The downregulation of p21 may be attributed to the decrease of p53. In this study, we found that the mRNA level of p53 was reduced after DMC treatment.
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent cell death process, which is accompanied by iron accumulation. Our previous study reported an important role of FECH, an enzyme inserts ferro...

A Novel Proteomic Aging Clock
By now there are most likely dozens of published aging clocks constructed from various omics databases. The proliferation of new clocks isn't helping to solve the fundamental problem with this approach to assessing biological age, which is that the predicted biological age produced by a clock isn't actionable, as no-one yet understands how the clocks relate to causative processes of aging. Thus factions within the research community are arguing for standardization to a single clock, followed by focused effort on understand how those clock measurements relate to underlying processes of aging.
Using a large proteomi...
