There’s an app for just about everything these days. Now thanks to a new treatment option offered at the University of Minnesota, there’s now one for cancer. These new technologies, known as digital medicines are allowing doctors to monitor their patients, even after they leave the hospital. University of Minnesota Health and Fairview Health Services are the first in the world to apply digital medicines to cancer care. “When we give people chemotherapy in the clinic with an intravenous drug, we’re able to assess the dose and timing and make sure they’re well enough to continue getting the treatment,” said University of Minnesota Physicians oncologist/hematologist Edward Greeno, MD, a professor at the University of Minnesota Medical School’s Department of Medicine in an interview with the Washington Post. “But when you send them home with a bottle of pills, you don’t know when they’re taking them or if they’re well enough to take them.” Dr. Greeno, who also directs the oncology service line for University of Minnesota Health, told the Star Tribune, “the technology could significantly improve cancer care because the timing and dosage of chemo-therapy is critical.” Dr. Greeno, along with other doctors at the Masonic Cancer Clinic at the University of Minnesota Health Clinics and Surgery Center, have begun prescribing pills embedded with small, ingestible sensors. The sensors, designed by Proteus Digital Health, are only the size of a grain of sand, but can track a wealth of information that is helpful for doctors including heart rate, activity level and sleep cycle. Once the pill is ingested, it sends the data to a small patch on the patient’s abdomen, which then connects to a mobile app that both the patient and their doctor can access. This new technology will allow doctors to ensure patients are taking their medications as prescribed. Physicians can automatically tell how many pills a patient has left in their prescription, which helps them better manage refills and potentially save money for the patient. The technology can also give a sense of comfort to some patients, helping them take a more active role in managing their medication. Digital medicine technology has been used to help patients manage medications for a variety of diseases, including diabetes and hypertension, but never before in cancer.

It’s transformative time in medicine practice, and FUJIFILM is at the side of the medical world to reengineer imaging strategy. At HIMSS & Health 2.0 Conference 2019, Helsinki, Finland, discover how to design digital diagnostic data hubs delivering “total imaging care” that will benefit patients and physicians. At the booth #6D1, our experts will show the latest innovations from our enterprise imaging portfolio and how they can help you:
Providing a complete picture of each patient’s health so that doctors across the care continuum can make more-informed decisions.
Understanding how an artificial intelligence platform can help impact patient care, improve workflows, and drive new research.
Building and implement an enterprise imaging strategy to reduce the cost of care and impact patient outcomes.
The AI revolution is underway, in an increasingly complex healthcare environment with larger datasets and rising demand for high quality care, Fujifilm, under the REiLI brand, is developing an open platform to realize a new diagnostic imaging workflow. REiLI fits perfectly with our latest release Synapse 5: the server-side-rendering technology and the centralized processing of Synapse 5 allow the easy application of the Artificial Intelligence technology within the normal workflow management tool to support of health professionals. The new open platform will not only host Fujifilm’s AI technologies, but will also host various other AI technologies from external partners. We will strive to support our customers’ by combining diverse AI technologies offering them the best support for their daily work which is currently increasing due to the sheer volume of Imaging scans as well as the complexity of the diseases their patients are facing The Fujifilm Healthcare IT platform Synapse displayed at HIMSS will include our comprehensive medical informatics and enterprise-imaging portfolio: SYNAPSE 5 (PACS) sets a new standard for enterprise imaging. With a focus on speed and interactivity, Synapse 5 PACS provides remarkable on-demand access to massive datasets and the ability to immediately interact with the data. SYNAPSE VNA (vendor-neutral archive) was designed for true imaging interoperability to enable practitioners to provide enhanced patient care across the enterprise. The VNA provides secure, easy-to-manage storage and access to the complete patient imaging record and links all HIT systems. SYNAPSE Enterprise Viewer uses the latest server-side rendering technology to stream imaging securely and quickly to any authorized user. It can be used within applications, directly from your EHR, or on our mobile device apps. Both within and outside of the Enterprise, giving access to imaging immediately and helping clinicians making the most informed and accurate decisions. Synapse Enterprise Viewer allows multiple users to view images simultaneously, and to take control of them as they are presented in real time, thereby improving speed, efficiency and patient care. SYNAPSE 3D is Fujifilm’s portfolio of clinical modules (currently 55) for advanced processing and analysis of the medical imaging: it is a state of the art system which provides powerful and complete tools not only for Oncology, Radiology and Cardiology Departments, but also supports the Clinical and Surgical workflow.

Women have unique risk factors for heart disease that need to be taken into account in prevention and treatment strategies, according to a Cleveland Clinic cardiologist who led a team tasked with updating recommendations on women and cardiovascular disease for the American College of Cardiology.
Traditionally, doctors have treated men and women as the same when it comes to heart disease, but the director of the Women’s Cardiovascular Center at Cleveland Clinic, Leslie Cho, M.D., says that it is time to start thinking differently.
She explains: “For years, we’ve thought about men and women as having the exact same risk factors, namely, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, smoking, diabetes and family history. However, while heart disease is the number-one killer and most prevalent disease in women, women actually have very low risk in terms of the traditional risk factors.
“However, some conditions specific to women, such as endometriosis, have been found to raise the risk of developing coronary artery disease – the leading cause of heart attacks – by 400% in women under age 40.”
In compiling the updated recommendations, Dr. Cho and her team reviewed diseases that are more prevalent in women; sex-related differences in traditional risk factors; and risk factors that only women experience, such as those related to pregnancy. Risks unique to women In terms of pregnancy-related conditions, they noted that high blood pressure during pregnancy, gestational diabetes, preterm birth and miscarriages all increase a woman’s risk of developing heart disease. Identification of pregnancy-related conditions is important, says Dr Cho, as it can help identify younger women, with low traditional-risk scores, to allow for earlier monitoring of cardiometabolic factors and management.
Hormonal conditions specific to women have also been associated with increased heart risk. One of these is premature menopause, defined as menopause before the age of 40.
Dr Cho explains: “Estrogen offers women some protection from heart disease until after menopause, when estrogen levels drop. This is why the average age of for a heart attack in women is later, at 70, as opposed to 66 in men.”
Another sex-specific risk factor is a hormonal condition called polycystic ovarian syndrome (POCS), found in one in 10 women. This is associated with cardiometabolic factors, which, in turn, are associated with increased heart disease risk. The cardiometabolic factors associated with POCS include abdominal obesity, abnormal glucose control and diabetes, elevated blood pressure, and abnormal amounts of fats – such as cholesterol – in the blood, known as dyslipidemia. Differences in traditional risks Regarding sex-related differences in the traditional risk-factor category, it has been found that hypertension and diabetes are strong risk factors in women. Another risk factor, high blood pressure, is more common in women over the age of 50 than in men.
Woman are also more likely than men to experience depression or mental health issues, such as anxiety and chronic emotional stress, that can have an impact on their heart health.
“We really should be treating not just the blood pressure number, or the cholesterol number, but rather treating the whole patient, including their mental health, to have a good cardiovascular outcome,” says Dr. Cho.
She adds that studies have also shown sex differences in response to treatments, and doctors need to take these into account. Common prevention strategies Despite the different sex-related risks, Dr. Cho points out that there are common areas where either sex can lower their risk for heart disease by making changes to their lifestyles. Among these she includes avoiding smoking, getting regular exercise – at least a 30-minute walk daily – and maintaining normal weight, blood pressure, blood lipid and blood sugar levels. She recommends a diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fish, and low in animal products, simple carbohydrates and processed foods.

As the COVID-19 pandemic upends life as people know it, changing daily routines, limiting social interactions and shaking their sense of safety, a mental health experts from U.S. hospital Cleveland Clinic’s Mellen Center is stressing that it is perfectly acceptable to feel sad about all of it.
She points out that grief is a natural response to loss – whether it is the loss of a loved one, or the loss of a sense of normalcy.
“We are experiencing a lot of disappointment right now – in both small and big ways – and grief is going to be a factor,” says clinical health psychologist Amy Sullivan, PsyD, ABPP.
“It’s really important that we process this and stay connected to other people in safe ways,” she adds.
Regarding how people should go about dealing with all of these difficult and unexpected feelings bubbling up, she says there is no right or wrong way. However, she offers four suggestions that can help people to cope with current events. 1. Look through the lens of grief and process emotions
She says that the stages of grief can provide a helpful framework for navigating these complex emotions. Experts recognize these stages as denial, anger, bargaining, despair, and acceptance. However, these experts also know that people do not step neatly from one stage to the next in this exact order, she says.
“Grief can come in waves and change on a very regular basis. Our feelings can change on a daily, or even an hourly, basis,” she explains.
Dr. Sullivan adds it is normal to go from feeling despair one day to anger the next.
“The first thing we need to do is to recognize that it is normal to have these waves of emotions that are happening on a regular basis,” Dr. Sullivan says.
Next, she says, acknowledge the loss whether it is knowing or losing someone with COVID-19, losing jobs, missing friends or family.
“Those are all very sad, difficult things for people to manage,” Dr. Sullivan says.
“Feel what you are feeling – whether it is being overwhelmed, anxious, powerless or anything else, it can help to identify and name these emotions,” she advises.
“It can be quite powerful to sit with those feelings for a few moments – to really recognize those emotions and normalize them,” she says.
However, she advises people to set a time limit on this, suggesting they give themselves five minutes to feel that emotion, and then move on to something that they know is a positive coping skill for them.
“It is important for us to accept where our feelings are at the moment and process through them, and then move into a more positive position of acceptance,” she says.
She says this can be done by identifying their own best coping mechanisms
“This is a time when people need to become innovative and develop their own individual sense of coping that works for them during this time,” she says. Examples might include deep breathing, mindfulness exercises, journaling, talking with another person, or going for a walk.
“If it comes to a point where someone cannot handle these feelings on their own, they need to seek mental health help,” Dr. Sullivan says. 2. Fight the urge to disengage
Dr. Sullivan stresses that staying connected is a powerful tool for coping during hard times. Whether that comes in the form of video chatting or sending a good old-fashioned letter, staying in touch with family, friends, neighbours and coworkers can help people to keep a positive attitude, she says.
She adds that many trained mental and behavioural health professionals are currently seeing patients through virtual visits, so that if people are having trouble coping, this could be a solution. 3. Focus on what can be controlled
Dr. Sullivan says that when there is so much uncertainty about the future, it is easy for people to get carried away, playing out the worst-case scenarios in their heads, for example worrying about themselves or someone else getting COVID-19, or wondering if things will ever get back to normal.
“Anticipating negative events can bring a sense of anxiety or fear,” Dr. Sullivan says.
She advises that, instead of agonizing over the things that cannot be known or controlled, people should be aware of what they do have control over. For example, they can choose how much news or social media they consume in a day, and they can decide what they eat. She recommends being mindful about these choices, and focusing on staying in the present. 4. Be open to joy
Lastly, Dr. Sullivan advises people to find joy and gratitude in the small things, like a video chat with family members, or the rush of fresh air when they open a window or step outside. She adds that if they are under a lockdown order, they can find ways to appreciate the opportunity to step back from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and being home.

When a Californian company founded by a U.S. veteran wounded in Afghanistan sought to register a new medical device this year, it turned to Europe before the United States. The European approvals system had long been quicker, the company said, but the introduction of new rules is changing all that. “Now it has flipped,” said Bill Colone, CEO of San Clemente-based Spinal Singularity, which hopes to launch a ‘smart’ catheter for men with spinal injuries or disease early next year after squeezing in its application under the old European rules. Colone is part of a chorus of industry voices warning that a switch to stricter European rules governing medical devices, due to come into force a year from now, will slow or even halt the release of products in Europe that could transform patients’ lives. Defenders of the regulations say they will not significantly complicate the process and are vital to prevent problems like rupturing silicone breast implants and debris from all-metal hip implants damaging tissue and bones. Many patient advocates say the new rules do not go far enough to reform a European system in which a top U.S. official suggested in 2011 patients may be “guinea pigs” here. The comment drew a sharp response from the European Union, which still firmly rejects that characterization. That transatlantic spat, and the subsequent evolution of medical device certification around the world, are part of a wider global struggle by governments to attract businesses seeking light-touch regulation without scaring off their voters. The new medical devices rules agreed by the European Union in 2017 will tighten control of devices before they come to market, improve transparency and strengthen surveillance by national authorities, a European Commission spokesperson said. The new system changes less than some proposals – which envisaged regulation by a public body, along U.S. lines, replacing the existing practice of certification by profit-making private firms. But players in medical technology – which ranges from surgical implants to scans – say it is too burdensome and is being built too slowly, risking not only hampering innovation but also harming patients by interrupting supplies. “Immediate action is needed now to avoid severe disruption of product supply to patients and hospitals,” seven European Associations said in a joint statement last week. All 55,000 devices certified under the old directives have to be re-certified along with other products such as reusable scalpels, nasal saline sprays and dental imaging software. The industry says there are not enough Notified Bodies – the private firms charged with certifying the safety of devices ranging from bandages to pacemakers, and that manufacturers may have to take products off the market or delay new launches.

Cytel has launched an open-access global COVID-19 Clinical Trial Tracker to help facilitate greater collaboration between researchers, policymakers, clinicians, journalists, philanthropists, and other critical stakeholders who need to understand the complex dynamics of the global response to finding a solution to the COVID-19 outbreak.
The tracker will enable them to make more informed and pragmatic decisions on how to channel scarce resources. Clinicians and local government need to know what trials are taking place in their community to ensure that the right patients receive the right exploratory treatment, while philanthropists and policymakers deserve a one-stop shop to determine which are the most promising early phase treatment results.
Funded in part by The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, this live dashboard offers an overview of all the trials taking place in the international effort to tackle the pandemic.
Joshua Schultz, Chief Executive Officer at Cytel, explained, "While much of the world is isolating, the scientific and clinical communities are coming together to fight the COVID-19 virus. United by an unprecedented sense of urgency, there is a level of collaboration that we’ve not seen before, and, despite the current pressures on the healthcare system, hundreds of hospitals are still committed to working on clinical trials. At Cytel, we have been supporting numerous clients in developing statistically rigorous models for fast data analysis and addressing the various challenges the pandemic presents in the current clinical environment. We are committed to supporting the global effort – and launching the COVID-19 Clinical Trial Tracker offered an additional way to do that."
