They also provide doctors and health practitioners with the information they need to follow their patient\u2019s progress long after the office visit is over. Technology is ever-evolving to bring new, advanced developments in how patients and physicians can track medical conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/industry\/medical-device\/?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_campaign=MDI-Trends\">Medical devices<\/a> do more than help a doctor or facility diagnose what is happening \u2014 they add a level of convenience for the patient that they never experienced before. A modern medical device could reduce the amount of time a person needs to spend at a doctor\u2019s office, medical clinic, or hospital undergoing tests. Many diagnostics that used to be only performed in a clinic can now be measured remotely while the individual goes about their daily life. Let\u2019s take a closer look at some current medical device trends and how they are impacting the healthcare sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Mobile_Health_Apps_and_Privacy\"><\/span><strong>1. Mobile Health Apps and Privacy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of the condition and device, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">going digital is an important aspect<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the latest medical devices. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wearable-technology-changing-the-face-of-healthcare\/?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_campaign=MDI-Trends\">Wearable tech<\/a> or medical devices can monitor a patient\u2019s health and track symptoms, but the information the device is recording is best managed by a medical professional. Apps can keep medical practitioners connected so they can keep abreast of how their patients are doing, without as many follow-up visits needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patient confidentiality and privacy is critical. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/phlp\/publications\/topic\/hipaa.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(HIPAA) mandates that medical facilities and practitioners must safeguard the privacy of their patients\u2019 confidential information. Do patients expose themselves to privacy violations if they\u2019re using mobile phone apps to monitor, track, and share their medical data? It\u2019s unlikely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple has a wide variety of health and medical apps available. As of 2018, there were <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iqvia.com\/insights\/the-iqvia-institute\/reports\/the-growing-value-of-digital-health\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more than 300,000 health and medical apps<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on the market, and that number was projected to continue to skyrocket. Apple requires developers who are creating medical mobile apps to comply with HIPAA regulations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/developer.apple.com\/documentation\/healthkit\/protecting_user_privacy\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Apple<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, developers in the process of creating a health or medical app must clearly disclose how a user\u2019s information may be shared. They must also provide the user the ability to choose what parts of their medical and personal data collected they wish to disclose. This ensures that any information shared between a patient and a physician is agreed to and remains confidential. In addition, if you\u2019re looking at a mobile app in the Apple Store or Google Play, the app has undergone stringent quality control reviews and testing before it was made available. You can rest assured the medical app you\u2019re interested in downloading is safe and HIPAA-compliant.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_New_Tech_Advancements_for_Diabetes\"><\/span><strong>2. New Tech Advancements for Diabetes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diabetes is at the forefront of medical devices that track and monitor illnesses. For many diabetics, the disease interferes with their quality of life because of the demanding daily requirements to keep the condition under control. Many diabetes sufferers must take daily blood sugar readings, sometimes many times each day, to monitor blood sugar levels. More severe cases may need to perform the blood sugar readings as often as 10 times per day. The testing can be taxing, especially because of the pinpricks required to draw blood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then there\u2019s the medication. Many patients take <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/325812#dosage\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">diabetes medication such as Toujeo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a form of insulin that must be injected, at least daily. In the case of testing and taking insulin shots, it\u2019s all too easy to forget and accidentally skip a dose or reading. That\u2019s where new technology comes in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A new device is under development that could regulate Type 1 diabetes more effectively by delivering insulin automatically as needed. Known as a closed-loop delivery system, this technology is not a new concept. The FDA approved the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/top-medical-device-innovations-you-should-know-about\/?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_campaign=MDInnovation-Trends\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">first hybrid artificial pancreas version in 2016<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The latest device under testing is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/326801#Automatic-insulin\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">known as Control-IQ system<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It will use algorithms to adjust a patient\u2019s insulin doses automatically so they no longer have to repeatedly test their blood sugar levels and remember to take their insulin injections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_New_Advancements_in_Pacemakers\"><\/span><strong>3. New Advancements in Pacemakers\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Millions of people worldwide<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> wear a pacemaker. The life-saving medical device is essential to many but comes with the major inconvenience of needing surgery to have the battery replaced after several years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There have been <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dicardiology.com\/article\/new-pacemaker-technologies\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">improvements in pacemaker technology<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the last few years. Pacemakers now record device data which doctors can remotely view and monitor. Newer models are MRI-safe, which was a major issue for patients needing a magnetic resonance image before. In addition, the battery life in newer pacemaker devices lasts longer, delaying the need for surgery to replace the battery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All surgeries come with risk. Even if the current advancements to extend battery life longer to delay the replacement surgery, it doesn\u2019t eliminate a risky operation altogether. Fortunately, there are new advancements in the form of a self-charging pacemaker. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engineers from Dartmouth College have <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2019-02-05-self-charging-pacemakers-are-powered-by-patients-heartbeats.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">developed a kit the size of a dime<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that could harness the kinetic energy your heart creates and convert it into power for your pacemaker. They just successfully completed its first round of animal testing. A self-charging pacemaker may be available in the next five years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Heart_Failure_Detectors\"><\/span><strong>4. Heart Failure Detectors<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients who are at high risk for heart failure are often implanted with a small device known as an ICD (Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) or CRT-D (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Device). Boston Scientific\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonscientific.com\/en-US\/medical-specialties\/electrophysiology\/heartlogic-heart-failure-diagnostic.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HeartLogic device<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be included in either ICD or CRT-D to predict heart failure weeks in advance. The HeartLogic device\u2019s sensors monitor for the warning signs leading to heart failure. The tiny device is fitted with sensors that can track a patient\u2019s vitals and heart rate, listen for changes in heart sounds, monitor respiration, and watch for shortness of breath.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides the HeartLogic device, there are other options using wearable tech that could track heart activity. For patients with less severe heart conditions, wearable tech, such as the Fitbit and Apple Watch, can track vital signs like heart rate. The tech may detect irregular heart rhythms which can lead to stroke or heart failure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another interesting medical device innovation: There is now a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/il\/news-releases\/sensible-medical-innovations-licenses-reds-technology-to-bayer-300857490.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lung fluid vest<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> available that measures the level of fluids inside a person\u2019s lungs and monitors lung congestion levels to reduce the risk of heart failure. The alternative would be regular (and more invasive) chest X-rays. The wearable vest is more effective at identifying the condition before it\u2019s too late without causing the patient too much inconvenience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Wearable_Tech\"><\/span><strong>5.

Its popularity may be due to the fact that it\u2019s a far less invasive method, relative to other forms of monitoring and diagnosis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/find-an-expert\/subject\/wearables?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_campaign=MDI-Trends\">Wearable devices<\/a> not only enable patients to have a relatively normal quality of life, but they also improve the accuracy of the data collected. A person that\u2019s wearing a monitor that\u2019s small or comfortable enough to wear day and night can provide data during real-world conditions. The information collected could give a doctor better insight on habits or lifestyle choices that contribute to their patient\u2019s health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Future_of_Medical_Device_Innovation\"><\/span><strong>The Future of Medical Device Innovation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although technology advances quickly, all medical devices and technologies must undergo years of testing before they\u2019re approved for consumer use. Mobile apps using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/ensuring-reproducibility-in-ai-driven-research-how-freelance-experts-can-help-in-biotech-and-healthcare\/\">artificial intelligence<\/a> (AI), such as Allo, have been around for the last few years, but AI\u2019s venture into health applications is recent.
