A Wearable Tech Gives Pharmas & Therapists Better Feel for Changes in Mental Health

Pharmaceutical companies use Feel Therapeutics’ technology to monitor the mental state of participants in clinical trials of behavioral medications. But the startup envisions its technology eventually also finding a place as a part of clinical care. By Frank VinluanWhen it comes to evaluating the health of a patient, each therapeutic area has its own data-gathering tools. Think glucose monitors in diabetes and heart monitors for cardiovascular disease. But in mental health, a clinician relies on what a patient says. Self-reporting is incomplete and lacks objectivity, says George Eleftheriou, CEO and co-founder of Feel Therapeutics. Feel is trying to bring more complete and objective data collection to the field of mental health. The San Francisco-based startup does it with wearable technology that continuously collects data and provides recommendations. “One of the things we hear is how poor storytellers people are and [how they] cannot truly depict what happened over the past ...

MMI receives de novo nod for microsurgery robot

Dive Brief Medical Microinstruments (MMI) has received de novo authorization for a robotic system that enables surgeons to reconnect tiny blood vessels, the company said Monday. The Food and Drug Administration authorized the device, called the Symani Surgical System, for soft tissue manipulation to perform microsurgery, a way to restore blood flow and redirect fluid during reconstruction or repair. CEO Mark Toland said the commercial availability of Symani could increase the number of physicians who can perform complicated microsurgical procedures. MMI plans to immediately launch the system in the U.S. Dive Insight Microsurgery and supermicrosurgery, a technique for 0.3mm to 0.8mm vessels, are microscope-assisted operations that enable physicians to take a piece of tissue from one part of the body and use it to reconstruct another area. By reconnecting blood vessels, surgeons can restore form and function to parts of the body damaged by trauma or disease. The potential for ...

Researchers call to reduce repeat antibiotic prescriptions for respiratory tract infections

RTIs account for around 60% of global antibiotic prescribing and are a key driver of AMR Researchers from the Universities of Bristol, Bath, King’s College London and the University Medical Center Utrecht have called for a reduction in the use of repeat antibiotic prescriptions in primary care for the same respiratory tract infection (RTI) episode, based on findings from a study. Published in the Journal of Infection, the study found high rates of repeat within-episode prescriptions for RTI in primary care in England, despite evidence of little benefit. Accounting for around 60% of antibiotic prescribing in primary care globally, RTIs are caused by viruses and are one of the key drivers of antimicrobial resistance. The study analysed over 900,000 RTI episodes from clinical records across 530 English general practices. Researchers found that nearly 30% of adults and 10% of children had received a second course of antibiotics within the same ...
