Consumer wearables become the new gatekeepers of clinical health care22:36 JMIR Publications today released a News and Perspectives expert analysis on consumer wearable platforms' forays into the clinical health care space. Authored by MedTech expert Blythe Karow, MBA, "Meet the New Health Care Gatekeeper: Your Wearable" lays out the implications of wearable tech companies owning the first conversation about a patient's health, as well as the potential impacts on patient trust, policy, and regulation. Free contraception program sharply reduces patient spending in British Columbia22:36 Researchers at UBC found that B.C.'s decision to provide universal, no-cost prescription contraception sharply reduced what patients pay, with the largest financial gains for people in their 20s. Gladstone scientists track exact routes used to clear brain waste22:36 Think of the brain as if it were a house. Insulated from its environment, a house relies on complex networks-pipes, drains, and disposal systems-that interface with the outside world to keep the home functional on the inside. New protocol screens clinical research participants for prior radiation exposure22:05 A new study highlights a critical gap: most clinical research studies that use imaging techniques such as amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) scans do not account for the radiation participants have already received from prior medical procedures. RNA therapy targets genetic cause of heart failure in the Netherlands22:05 Using patient-derived cardiac tissue and stem cell-based models, the team of translational researchers demonstrated that targeting the genetic cause of disease improved cellular abnormalities and identified the biological pathways involved. Researchers develop open source framework for health AI research21:33 A research team led by Columbia University has developed an open-source framework designed to streamline and accelerate artificial intelligence research using health data, addressing longstanding challenges in data standardization, reproducibility, and collaboration across institutions. Review explores diagnosis and management of perioperative anaphylaxis during anesthesia21:33 Perioperative anaphylaxis is a rare, life‑threatening condition during anesthesia. The unique setting – multiple drugs, patient draping, and altered physiology – causes higher mortality than anaphylaxis elsewhere. Review explores complex associations between sleep apnea and lung cancer21:01 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder characterized by intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation, which may contribute to lung cancer development and progression. Grant funds research into molecular memories behind exaggerated fear21:01 Experiencing a traumatic event sometimes produces long-lasting biological changes that can lead to an exaggerated fear response to future stressful events, such as what occurs in individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Survey reveals critical knowledge gaps in maternal health recommendations21:01 Most Americans know that how well a mother takes care of herself before and during pregnancy affects the health of a baby, but many people remain unclear about some specific maternal health recommendations, including when to start avoiding alcohol, according to a new nationally representative survey from the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) of the University of Pennsylvania. |
