A London hospital is the latest to put the Apple Watch to use within its walls, this time to improve medication management and adherence for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. According to a report from Wareable, King’s College Hospital will be the first to pilot an app from Medopad, a British company that also makes tablet-based mobile health technology.
“Cancer treatment is a challenging journey,” Dr Siamak Arami, a Consultant Haematologist at King’s College Hospital, told The Journal of mHealth last month, when Medopad launched the app. “Adherence to complicated treatment regimens, and the streamlined recording and reporting of health issues during treatment are of paramount value. Medopad’s Apple Watch chemotherapy application is an exciting new development in medical technology that can transform the quality and safety of care for patients, carers and care providers. This can eventually reduce the cost and improve the outcome of treatment for cancer patients.” Via Alex Butler, Anja Stagge

Falling is awful. It causes irreparable harm to senior citizens and the fear of falling reduces senior citizen mobility drastically, creating a feedback loop that can be catastrophic. Now, thanks to a team at the Sinclair School of Nursing and the College of Engineering at the University of Missouri, caregivers can predict falls up to three weeks out, allowing for care and assistance before its needed. The system is non-wearable and uses cameras to assess gait speed and stride length. The researchers found that a “gait speed decline of 5 centimeters per second was associated with an 86.3 percent probability of falling within the following three weeks.” Further, a shortened stride length “was associated with a 50.6 percent probability of falling within the next three weeks.” With these two pieces of data caregivers can intervene before things get out of hand. 122721_web “Aging should not mean that an adult suddenly loses his or her independence,” said Marilyn Rantz, Professor Emerita of Nursing. “However, for many older adults the risk of falling impacts how long seniors can remain independent. Being able to predict that a person is at risk of falling will allow caretakers to intervene with the necessary care to help seniors remain independent as long as possible.” The team based their system at TigerPlace, a retirement residence in Columbia, Missouri. They installed sensors around the location and set up an email alert system “when irregular motion was detected.” It’s a great use of some intelligent technology and, what’s more, it requires no wearables and is completely passive.

Recently, the World Health Organization [2] pointed out the importance of tracking walking speed of older adults over time. In-home sensor-based acquisition of physiological parameters is an interesting approach as it could overcome self-report data limitations and allows objective and ecologically valid assessment. However, it is not clear yet, among the multitude of sensors and devices under evaluation, which ones will provide the best evidence for real-life use and what transformation clinicians might expect in their everyday practices.

AKQA – The AKQA Sensekit is designed to empower the one in ten people who suffer sensory impairment – perhaps blind or deaf, or with low vision, or who are hard of hearing. Intended to be developed as a kit comprising various sensors and haptic wearables, this allows users to develop solutions that respond to their unique requirements. Using sensory substitution AKQA’s technology takes data from sensors, then making use of Edge Computing and Microsoft Cognitive Services, transforms that into a signal sent to a discreet haptic wearable. Over time users learn how to interpret vibration patterns from the wearables, so that the brain starts to extract meaning from the vibration to be able to recognise a face or understand a spoken greeting, for example.

The Topol Review makes recommendations that will enable NHS staff to make the most of innovative technologies such as genomics, digital medicine, artificial intelligence and robotics to improve services. These recommendations support the aims of the NHS Long-Term Plan, and the workforce implementation plan, helping to ensure a sustainable NHS.

Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are chock full of information that might be used to personalize treatment. Unfortunately, this information is not readily available. The latest type of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, however, might change that, according to Albert Hsiao, M.D., assistant professor of radiology at the University of California San Diego.

“ Even as funding for digital health start-ups is accelerating, a new report from Accenture (NYSE:ACN) forecasts that one out of every two of these new companies is likely to fail within two years of launch – but that larger companies could mine these “zombie” start-ups for talent or innovative technologies. “Rather than discard the investment that has been made in getting sputtering start-ups off the ground, it often makes sense for healthcare stakeholders to acquire them, salvage their best people and technologies and awaken them from a zombie-like existence,” said Kaveh Safavi, managing director for Accenture's global healthcare business. “Many digital start-ups that are dying or in danger of failure have developed solutions that can help traditional and non-traditional healthcare companies achieve their goals.” ”

This paper commissioned by NHS Digital looks at the clinical, ethical and practical concerns relating to artificial intelligence (AI) use in the health and social care system. It provides a snapshot of 12 domains that will be most impacted by AI and looks at each from a clinical, ethical and practical perspective. The report makes seven key recommendations and warns that AI is not likely to solve all the problems faced by the health care system.
