Recently, wearable devices have set off a boom in the development of medical devices. The latest addition to this craze is the British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline. The company announced that it will work with Propeller Health to integrate its custom sensors into GSK-developed Ellipta inhalers for clinical research in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pneumonia (COPD).
Researchers hope to track patient use of inhalers, as well as data on safety and efficacy. This data is also transmitted to GSK researchers for analysis. Dave Allen, Senior Vice President of Respiratory R&D at GSK, spoke highly of the role that Propeller Health's products will play in GSK's future respiratory disease business. He believes that through the information collected by this smart inhaler, researchers can better develop related drugs.
In addition, this smart inhalation device has the added benefit of enabling clinicians to monitor the patient's method, frequency and duration of use of the inhaler. Unlike drugs, patients often lack understanding of the use of medical devices, which can result in wasted resources and even endanger the health of patients. Some industry insiders estimate that such problems will cause up to $300 billion in waste of medical systems each year. Therefore, it is particularly important to collect patient treatment data remotely.
In fact, many medical device developers are working hard to make their products smarter through wearable devices. For example, The Scripps Translational Science Institute has just launched a clinical study of 6,100 patients using a “smart ointment†to detect heart rate data from heart patients; Baijian has introduced a wearable device to collect data for use. Replacing the 25-minute walking test commonly used in multiple sclerosis research; Roche developed a mobile app for clinical research in Parkinson's disease.
It can be expected that both clinical research and medical products will become more and more intelligent in the future.
Organic turmeric extract is derived from the dried rhizomes of turmeric. Turmeric is a ginger plant with a botanical name of Curcuma longa L. The main ingredients of turmeric extract are curcumin. And the curcumin ratio can reach 95% or more. Turmeric has long been used as a natural pigment (E100) in the food industry. It has strong tinting strength, does not fade, but is sensitive to light, heat. Mainly used for dyeing canned foods, sausage products, and sauces.
