4 Digital Health Trends Set to Transform the Medical Device Market in 2019

0

The medical device market is in the midst of a transformation. Major high-tech players such as Google, Amazon, and Apple have entered the healthcare sector, bringing a spirit of innovation and powerful software capabilities to a historically hardware-driven industry.

With the rise of mobile technologies and IoT, along with expectations that digital health will continue to scale to a population beyond early adopters, medical device manufacturers have begun investing more heavily in digital health.

Ernst & Young’s 2018 Pulse of the Industry report states that only 16 of the 43 therapeutic devices that received FDA premarket approval for the 18 months between January 2017 and June 2018 had a digital health component or made use of data analytics.

Medical device companies that fail to invest in digital health R&D may have a tough time staying relevant in an increasingly data-driven healthcare sector.

What does 2019 hold for digital health and medical devices? Here are a few developments to watch.

1. Healthcare Data Everywhere

Electronic Medical Records (EMR), diagnostic imaging, and health apps gather oceans of data, and healthcare organizations and medical device manufacturers are just scratching the surface of how to harness and make the best use of that data, as well as how to ensure the security of that data.

Data is expanding our capabilities in the design of clinical trials. In silico clinical trials, which are individualized computer simulations using virtual trial subjects based on human models, use these large data sets in the service of development or regulatory evaluation of both drugs and medical devices.

In silico trials have the advantage of running scenarios millions of times faster than in a randomized control trial, providing developers with applicable data, opportunities to identify potential hazards, and allowing researchers to determine how a device or drug may perform in different hypothetical use cases.

8 Medical Devices in Home Health Care

0

As the formal health care system has become increasingly stressed, patients are being released from hospitals and other health care facilities still needing care.

As a consequence, both laypeople and professional caregivers are making use of a wide variety of technologies, some of them quite complex, in noninstitutional settings to manage their own health, assist others with health care, or receive assistance with health management.

These technologies provide support not only for care related to acute and chronic medical conditions but also for disease prevention and lifestyle choices.

The range of medical technologies used in nonclinical environments runs the gamut in complexity from simple materials used for administering first aid to sophisticated devices used for delivering advanced medical treatment, and in size from tiny wireless devices to massive machines.

Some medical devices have been used in the home for many years; other devices are just beginning to migrate there, and emergent technologies present new opportunities for health care management in the home.

While some of these devices were explicitly designed for use outside formal health care settings by professional home health caregivers as well as the general public, many devices were not.

Consequently, many human factors challenges must be addressed to render these technologies, devices, and systems safe, usable, and effective for use in environments beyond the institution and for use by the much more varied population of users in these environments.

This chapter discusses standalone medical devices used in home health care.

BACKGROUND

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines a medical device as “an instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, in vitro reagent, or another similar article that is … intended for use in the diagnosis of a disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease.
