Medisafe App

Forgetting to take your medicine isn’t a new problem, but apps like Medisafe offer a new solution for today’s tech-savvy patient population. It happens to everyone: your doctor prescribes a medication, you get the prescription filled and then… life gets in the way. Failing to take your medication can be costly as well as dangerous, with medication non-adherence costs adding up to $300 billion. The plastic pillboxes your grandparents used might help you keep your medications organized, but they also clutter up your home, and they still won’t remind you when it’s time to take your medicine.

Medisafe turns your smartphone into a “virtual pillbox” that sends you notifications at the exact time you’re supposed to take your medicine. Import your prescriptions from major pharmacy chains such as CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens or easily add your prescriptions (and non-prescription vitamins and supplements) yourself.   Patients using Medisafe see significant health improvements as a result of taking their medication precisely as directed, especially for conditions such as chronic hypertension.

In this new revenue model, customers will pay a lower base fee than the annual subscription, with additional payments tied to whether use of the startup’s products results in an increase in the number of patients consistently following their treatment plans, as measured by prescription refills. Medisafe says lack of drug adherence has been linked to poorer health outcomes.

“If you want to be perceived as a partner, you need to be able to be sharing the upside and downside,” Medisafe co-founder and CEO Omri Shor says in a phone interview. “We are going to be held accountable for what we can produce.”

Hyperpigmentation Treatment Devices

Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common skin problems, which requires non-invasive device-based treatment in severe conditions such as melasma and post-inflammatory. Device-based procedures are preferred when topical therapies fail to improve the pigmentation condition. Lasers and intense pulsed light are two of the most preferred device-based treatments.

However, sometimes radiofrequency devices, LED devices, and microdermabrasion-based devices are also used in combination.

Market Dynamics
It treatment devices are highly utilized for minimally invasive aesthetic procedures that cures skin problems. According to the report by International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery titled ‘Global Aesthetic Survey Results’ published in 2017, around 14% rise was reported in skin resurfacing procedures worldwide in 2016, which also includes skin spots and pigmentation.

According to the same source, around 2,545,922 facial rejuvenation surgeries, which includes hyperpigmentation treatment were conducted worldwide in 2016. This is expected to drive growth of the hyperpigmentation treatment device market.

Furthermore, increasing prevalence of skin related disorders and increasing old age population is expected to result in high demand for hyperpigmentation treatment devices, thereby driving growth of the market. According to a study published in the British Journal of Dermatology, in 2015, around 9.4% of the global population was estimated to be affected by acne. Furthermore, photon-based therapy and laser-based therapy are emerging as new trend in hyperpigmentation treatment, which would contribute to the hyperpigmentation treatment devices market growth.

Sleep Apnea Devices

The Sleep Apnea Devices Market report is a valuable source of insightful data for business strategists. It provides the industry overview with growth analysis and historical & futuristic cost, revenue, demand and supply data (as applicable). The research analysts provide an elaborate description of the value chain and its distributor analysis. This Market study provides comprehensive data which enhances the understanding, scope and application of this report.

Diagnosis

Your doctor may make an evaluation based on your signs and symptoms and a sleep history, which you can provide with help from someone who shares your bed or your household, if possible.

You’re likely to be referred to a sleep disorder center. There, a sleep specialist can help you determine your need for further evaluation.

An evaluation often involves overnight monitoring at a sleep center of your breathing and other body functions during sleep. Home sleep testing also might be an option. Tests to detect sleep apnea include:

  • Nocturnal polysomnography. During this test, you’re hooked up to equipment that monitors your heart, lung and brain activity, breathing patterns, arm and leg movements, and blood oxygen levels while you sleep.
  • Home sleep tests. Your doctor might provide you with simplified tests to be used at home to diagnose sleep apnea. These tests usually measure your heart rate, blood oxygen level, airflow and breathing patterns.

    If the results are abnormal, your doctor might be able to prescribe a therapy without further testing. Portable monitoring devices don’t detect all cases of sleep apnea, however, so your doctor might still recommend polysomnography even if your initial results are normal.

  • If you have obstructive sleep apnea, your doctor might refer you to an ear, nose and throat doctor to rule out blockage in your nose or throat. An evaluation by a heart doctor (cardiologist) or a doctor who specializes in the nervous system (neurologist) might be necessary to look for causes of central sleep apnea. Read More..

Portable Mini Fat Freezing Cryolipolysis Body Slimming Machine

Cryolipolysis is a medical treatment used to destroy fat cells. Its principle relies on controlled cooling to near 4 degrees Celsius for the non-invasive localized reduction of fat deposits in order to reshape body contours. The exposure to cooling is set so that it causes cell death of subcutaneous fat tissue without apparent damage to the overlying skin. The procedure is a nonsurgical alternative to liposuction. Cryolipolysis is a portmanteau of “cryogenic” and “lipolysis.” Generically, the process can also be known as fat freezing.

Liposuction is a removal of excess fat deposition in a cosmetic operation process, which can be a method to remove excess fat. The cooling process using a frozen fat dissolving operation is fundamentally different from other minimally invasive methods and was approved as the most effective way to reduce fat.

This is a revolutionary new method. Since being put into use, the fat reduction has been recognized as an important technical progress. For those dieting and exercising regularly but still needing to eliminate local fat , frozen fat dissolving skill is definitely a great gift. The fat concentrates on positions like back fat, buttock top, waist and abdominal, and the frozen fat dissolving operation can produce amazing results. Especially at a low temperature, the triglyceride will be transformed into solid. It uses advanced cooling technology through a gradual process of selective targeting of fat bulges to remove fat cells. This process will not harm the surrounding tissue but reduces the redundant fat. As the fat cells receive a blast of cooling, it will gradually reduce the thickness of the layer of fat, forming a natural elimination process. Excess fat will be removed.

Electronic Skin Senses Pain, Temp, Pressure as Fast as Human Dermis

Scientists at the RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia have announced the development of an artificial skin material that can sense pain, temperature, and pressure. It’s remarkable because it replicates how real skin responds to stimuli, which sends appropriate electric signals through neural pathways to the brain. The technology is slated to allow for life-like transmission of tactile sensations through prosthetic arms and legs, and may even help replace skin grafts with artificial solutions.

According to RMIT, the electronic skin “replicates” how our native skin detects pain, sending out signals just as fast as healthy nerves. According to Madhu Bhaskaran, a corresponding author of a study describing the technology in journal Advanced Intelligent Systems, “We’re sensing things all the time through the skin but our pain response only kicks in at a certain point, like when we touch something too hot or too sharp. No electronic technologies have been able to realistically mimic that very human feeling of pain – until now. Our artificial skin reacts instantly when pressure, heat or cold reach a painful threshold.”

The researchers made three separate devices, including one that senses pressure, one temperature, and one pain, though it should be possible to combine them into one. This required a new approach to stretchable electronics, using oxide materials combined with silicone to make something that can be bent and flexed and not break. A special temperature sensitive coating was developed that can quickly transform itself, something that is immediately measurable using electronics. The last necessary component was brain-like memory cells that are used to decide how to process the sensory data and send the right signals when limits are reached.

“We’ve essentially created the first electronic somatosensors – replicating the key features of the body’s complex system of neurons, neural pathways and receptors that drive our perception of sensory stimuli,” said Md. Ataur Rahman, one of the study co-authors. Read more

THE GLAM APP

The first step for this project was establishing The Glam App’s branding and identity. They wanted a logo that was luxe, high-end and fashion-forward, built around stark, high-contrast colors. We carried this look and feel over to the app and the brand’s entire online presence.

ON-DEMAND BEAUTY

The Glam App launched in February 2015, and in under a year, it expanded to over 20 U.S. cities and London. They didn’t waste any time adding new features, updates and locations to their app—all built from the ground up by Inphantry.

MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT

Inphantry was responsible for every aspect of The Glam App’s development for iOS and Android devices. We started with wireframes based around the services and features Cara and Joey wanted their mobile app to offer, and then progressed to a design reflective of the identity work we had already completed. Our team also handled all the development work necessary to launch and maintain the mobile app during its first year in market.

Functionality of the app included:

•  The ability for users to book an immediate appointment or schedule one for later
•  Notifications for when a stylist accepts a user’s requested appointment
•  The option to rebook with a stylist if the experience was positive
•  Prompts to rate a stylist and add a tip after an appointment.

THE STYLIST PORTAL

While The Glam App offers obvious benefits to its end users, it’s also appealing to stylists looking to grow their freelance business—connecting them directly with customers and providing the chance to generate their own clientele even while working at a salon (with a bigger cut than most salons offer).Read More..
