Precision Medicine – Time to Tailor Treatment
Precision medicine, sometimes known as personalized medicine, is a way healthcare providers can offer and plan specific patient care based on the particular genes, proteins, and other substances in a person’s body. This is largely based on knowing the effects of changes in specific genes (and proteins) inside cells. In precision medicine, doctors use information […]
Opportunities for Biomimetics in Healthcare
Medical biomimetics merges biology and technology to develop healthcare solutions. Bio-Inspirations are derived from nature to design practical materials and systems that can imitate the structure and function of native biological systems. The development process usually combines principles from material sciences, engineering, biology, chemistry, computer science, etc. In healthcare, biomimetics is applied in areas such […]
Revolutionizing Wellness: Metaverse in Healthcare
The metaverse in healthcare is a collective virtual shared space created by the convergence of physical and virtual reality. It’s a digital universe where people can interact with computer-generated environments and other users in real-time. The metaverse goes beyond traditional 2D internet experiences, offering immersive, three-dimensional spaces that users can navigate and interact with. It […]
Transformative Potential of Generative AI in MedTech
A new branch of artificial intelligence, called Generative AI or Gen-AI, has recently evolved and is rapidly being adopted across industries. Gen-AI represents a significant update over conventional AI. Unlike conventional AI, which utilizes predictive models to make predictions, Gen-AI can create content and synthetic data in real time. This capability has propelled Gen-AI to be leveraged […]
Biosimilars and Sustainability: Best Value-Driven Practice
All medicines are made of either small molecules or large molecules. Biologics are advanced therapeutic drugs made of living cells, sugars, proteins, tissues, or a mixture of these. Biosimilars as follow-on biologics are game-changers to reduce patient and payers’ health bills. Biosimilars are made of large molecules and living cells. They show similar pharmacokinetics (P.K.) and […]
Redefining Healthcare: A Holistic Approach to Patient-Centric Care
The concept of patient-centric care has become a fundamental principle in today’s healthcare landscape. Both multinational pharmaceutical businesses and local grassroots health centers understand the importance of prioritizing patients’ needs to meet evolving customer expectations. However, asserting a commitment to real patient-centric is not enough; it calls for a serious cultural transformation within the organization, […]
