There is a new (substantial) market coming for video games and other forms of media that can positively impact mental health. The Digital Therapeutics Alliance has been working hard with congress to create new reimbursement pathways for media as medicine (Digital Therapeutics) - with a special focus on mental health. Reference Article: https://lnkd.in/gxWwQTks Many commercial video games have been proven to positively impact mental health. One of over 200 Reference Studies: https://lnkd.in/gSYzZKsi The Immersive Medicine Network - a collaborative ecosystem of game developers, experience designers and medical professionals has been created to help media professionals access this new market: The Immersive Medicine Network is building the following resources: - A resource website for creating media as medicine: www.immersivemedicine.org - A LinkedIn support group, the Immersive Medicine Network (IMN) where connections can be made and resources shared: https://lnkd.in/gW8M_vXN - A Podcast to help spread information (first episode coming this week) - A biweekly fireside chat, where questions can be asked and collaborative approaches developed. (Accessible through the IMN) Media holds the key to delivering vital mental and physical health interventions at scale. Now the industries must learn to combine capabilities to create the change we need to fight the #loneliness #stress #anxiety and #depression that are crippling our society. Please join us as we build this new world of Immersive Medicine, recognizing the therapeutic potential of media and bringing accessibility and affordability to mental health care. #videogames #immersivemedicine #powerofplay #stressrelief #resilience

The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Orthopedics 🔑 The FDA witnessed a 39% increase in AI/ML submissions from 2019 to 2020. 🔑 AI is showing promise in reviewing implanted devices before revision surgery. A study in Arthroplasty found a deep-learning model accurately predicted knee implant types 99% of the time. This could save time in pre-op planning and improve procedure efficiency. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g_wGp2kz #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #healthcare #ImagingData #MedicalDevices #orthopedics #radiology #RevisionSurgery

Integrating digital health devices and technologies in clinical trials is revolutionizing data collection, analysis, and utilization, enhancing trial efficiency and patient engagement. Recently, I explored this topic with experts from Masimo and Medable, Inc. Key Insights: - Enhanced Data Collection: Integration of Masimo’s devices with Medable’s platform via Bluetooth connectivity improves the ease and accuracy of data collection and transmission. - Improved Data Quality: Masimo's advanced sensor technology ensures high-accuracy data capture, even under challenging conditions like motion artifacts and diverse skin tones. - Real-Time Monitoring: Continuous vital signs monitoring, especially in oncology trials, enables early detection of patient deterioration or adverse reactions. - Digital Biomarkers: Utilizing digital biomarkers such as physical activity levels and heart rate variability provides real-time insights into disease progression and treatment response. - Regulatory Challenges: Navigating the regulatory landscape for medical device compliance is complex yet crucial for successful real-world data integration. - Future Advancements: AI and advanced algorithms will significantly enhance data analysis and treatment personalization. Integrating these technologies streamlines clinical trials, promoting a patient-centric approach, improving compliance and data quality. The future of clinical trials looks promising with these innovations. #DigitalHealth #ClinicalTrials #MedTech #HealthTech #PatientEngagement #DataAnalytics #AIinHealthcare #WearableTech #RemoteMonitoring #HealthcareInnovation #Medable #Masimo Musaddiq Khan Daniel Cantillon M.D. Lisa Barbadora

A Common Pitfall for MedTech / Medical device manufacturing Companies: 🚫 Mistake: Investing heavily in a product without customer feedback. 🚫 Risk: Channeling resources into development without a deep understanding of the target market, including cultural and societal norms. 📉 It's a frequent, costly error driven by arrogance and preallocated capital. ✨ Smart Strategy: Start with your MVP (Minimum Viable Product). 🌱 Why Gradual Growth? The most successful companies grow gradually because they take time to tailor their products to the markets they serve. Do not waste your time and efforts. Be quick to go to market but do your HW.
