Software in Medical Devices, by MD101 Consulting

2013 was the year of the confirmation of your interest in my blog. You were 100+ unique visitors per day. A success for a so specific subject!

I thank all of you, who supported my blog by reading the posts and downloading the templates.

Apple now asking app developers to provide sources of medical information says imedicalapps.com web site.

Last week in stumbled upon a video made by Paul Sonnier, head of the Digital Health Group on Linkedin.

Two computer science researchers of Indiana University have found that predictive algorithms can make better decisions that doctors, reported Indiana University News website.

Brain Computer Interface is the term used for a very advanced kind of man machine interface. They allow to send orders to a machine through thought. Sensors are directly connected to the brain of the user and a computer interpret the neural signals to transform them in orders.

Innovations in the field of medical devices are highly influenced by technologies like nano-sensors, bio-MEMS, and mobile platforms.
In this kind of devices, wearable sensors are emerging as the next must-have. Wearable sensors are tiny gadgets that you have permanently with you, hidden in your clothes or in a piece of jewelry. They monitor vital (or non-vital) signs like arterial pulse and transmit data to local computers or remote platforms. Data are analyzed on the receiver to control anything you want: high blood pressure...
Early adopters of such devices will surely be geeks or techno-victims, but we can bet in a few years everybody will have at least one.

A good example is the Shine by Misfits Wearables. It's a concentrate of technology that monitors body parameters and communicates with your smartphone. And it's a deliberately nice object!
For me it's also a concentrate of all buzzwords heard in innovative medical devices!

We don't know yet wether such objects will become truly useful medical devices or will remain gadgets. Wether they will change or not our habits, like smartphones did. That's the role of the market (doctors and the public) to say so.

If you want to know how to have a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant system, have a look at Daniel Riganati's blog:

It's damned well explained! Congrats Daniel!

Merci Beaucoup!

The scenarists of Warner Bros have unlimited imagination when they create a new series!
H+ Digital Series is the story about a computer implant that connect people to the internet 24 hours - 7 days. It's like the google glasses, with no glasses. The digital overlay is supposed to be sent direcly to the brain by cerebral waves or the like...
In their will of mimicking the reality, they've created a fake website of the company that designed the implant: Hplus Nano Teoranta and even user testimonials in the teasers of the series!
Wow! Will they have a fake booth at the world congress of neurology? :-)
