Multinational companies target the trillion-dollar medical equipment “trade-in” market

“The introduction of the ‘old for new’ policy is good news for the entire medical market, especially for companies like us that have been rooted in China for many years.” Pu Zhengrong, vice president of Siemens Healthineers Greater China and head of clinical treatment systems, expressed the above views in an interview with China News Service recently. At the 89th China International Medical Equipment (Spring) Fair (CMEF) which just ended in Shanghai, the “old for new” policy for medical equipment was undoubtedly a hot topic. Faced with the trillion-level market released by this policy, a number of multinational companies showed great interest. Chen Jinlei, vice president of GE Healthcare China and general manager of medical imaging business, said that after the “old for new” policy was released, the medical industry, from users to manufacturers, paid close attention to it. “We have developed eight targeted plans for ‘old for new’.” On ...

With M&A Deal, Click Therapeutics’ Digital Prospects in Metabolic Disease Get Better

Click Therapeutics is acquiring the assets of Better Therapeutics two months after that digital therapeutics developer announced it would lay off all employees and shut down. Better’s main asset is AspyreRx, an FDA-authorized mobile app for type 2 diabetes. By Frank VinluanDigital therapeutics developer Click Therapeutics is building up its prospects in cardiometabolic disorders by acquiring the assets of Better Therapeutics, a company whose technology platform yielded one FDA-authorized product and could serve as a springboard for a range of drug and digital treatment pairings. Better’s FDA-authorized prescription digital therapeutic, named AspyreRx, is a type 2 diabetes mobile app that helps patients modify behaviors in order to change the course of their disease. Artificial intelligence enables the software to personalize treatment plans to each patient. AspyreRx secured FDA authorization last summer, but Better struggled to commercialize the product on its own. Payer coverage decisions on the app were pending as ...

New AI Tool Classifies Brain Tumors More Quickly and Accurately

Precision in diagnosing and categorizing tumors is essential for delivering effective treatment to patients. Currently, the gold standard for identifying various types of brain tumors involves DNA methylation-based profiling. DNA methylation functions as a regulatory mechanism to control gene activity, essentially turning genes on or off. However, the time required for such testing can be a significant hindrance, often taking several weeks—a delay that can be critical when patients need prompt decisions regarding their treatment. Additionally, these tests are not widely available in most hospitals around the world. Now, a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool has been developed to classify brain tumors more quickly and accurately. Researchers at The Australian National University (ANU, Canberra, Australia) have created DEPLOY. This new method predicts DNA methylation patterns to classify brain tumors into 10 major subtypes. DEPLOY utilizes histopathology images, which are microscopic images of patient tissue samples. The model was trained and ...

MHRA’s AI Airlock to address challenges for regulating AI medical devices

The sandbox will help to inform future AI Airlock projects and influence future AlaMD guidance The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has launched AI Airlock, a new regulatory sandbox, to address the challenges of regulating medical devices that use artificial intelligence (AI). In alignment with the regulator’s goal for the UK to be a science and technology superpower by 2030, the new sandbox builds on the MHRA’s strategic approach to AI in April, which was set out to respond to a white paper published by the government in 2023. It highlighted that the regulator is considering the opportunities and risks of AI from three perspectives: as a regulator of AI products, as a public service organisation delivering time-critical decisions and as an organisation that produces evidence-based decisions that impact public and patient safety, where evidence is often supplied by third parties. The new sandbox for AI as a ...

Oregon and Lantern collaborate to develop drug candidate for various cancer indications

Anticancer drugs will be responsible for 90% of nearly 612,000 predicted US cancer deaths in 2024 Oregon Therapeutics and Lantern Pharma have entered into a strategic artificial intelligence (AI)-driven collaboration to optimise the development of a protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) inhibitor drug candidate for a variety of novel and targeted cancer indications. XCE853 is being developed by Oregon in various indications, including drug-resistant ovarian and pancreatic cancer, certain haematological cancers and several paediatric cancers, including central nervous system cancers. Nearly 612,000 deaths are predicted to occur in the US in 2024 due to cancer and resistance to anticancer drugs will be responsible for 90% of those deaths. Under the terms of the agreement, Lantern will receive equal intellectual property (IP) co-ownership and drug development rights in newly discovered biomarkers, novel indications, and pharmacological use strategies for XCE853, while Oregon is entitled to financial benefits resulting from the licensing of the ...

UK sets out position on regulating AI as a medical device

Dive Brief A U.K. agency outlined its position on the regulation of artificial intelligence as a medical device in a policy paper published Tuesday.The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said many AI products that can be put on the market now without conformity assessment will move to a higher risk category in upcoming reforms.The paper explains how MHRA interprets a government AI strategy focused on principles such as safety, security and robustness and aligns it with international standards. Dive Insight The U.K. government committed to five cross-sector principles for the regulation of AI in February. A consultation found “strong support” for the principles, the government said, and established them as the basis for a regulatory framework designed to keep pace with rapidly advancing AI technology. Days later, the government wrote to the MHRA to request details of its approach to AI. In response, the MHRA published a policy ...
