Recently, Bloomberg reported that Apple selected some employees to conduct a blood sugar APP test. During the test, the subjects actively monitored their blood sugar through various devices on the market, and then recorded the changes in blood sugar levels caused by food intake. This study may allow Apple to more deeply integrate third-party blood sugar tracking into its own products. Apple has been planning blood sugar monitoring for a long time. In 2010, Jobs led the acquisition of RareLight, a non-invasive blood sugar monitoring company. In 2015, Apple’s frontier exploration department XDG took over the non-invasive blood sugar detection project and has invested a lot of money in recent years for concept verification. In February last year, Apple’s non-invasive blood sugar monitoring project was reported to have a major breakthrough. According to reports, Apple is developing a silicon photonic chip and a measurement process called “optical absorption spectroscopy”, which ...

On September 8, the Ministry of Commerce, the National Health Commission, and the State Food and Drug Administration jointly issued the Notice on Carrying out Pilot Work on Expanding Opening-up in the Medical Field (hereinafter referred to as the “Notice”). It is proposed to allow the establishment of wholly foreign-owned hospitals (except for traditional Chinese medicine, excluding mergers and acquisitions of public hospitals) in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hainan. This is undoubtedly a bold innovation to the existing healthcare system. Previously, foreign investment was limited to joint venture hospitals, and there were many restrictions such as shareholding ratio. With the relaxation of policy restrictions and the introduction of foreign-funded medical institutions, as more high-end medical institutions enter the Chinese market, while diverting some high-end patients, it may also improve the development and progress of the overall medical level in China. There are two main points ...
The digital therapeutics industry has evolved and evolved beyond all expectations. In June 2021, Pear Therapeutics, the “first stock of digital therapeutics”, was listed; In April 2023, he filed for bankruptcy and bankruptcy; A year later, Better Therapeutics, another star digital therapeutics company, also fell; Four months ago, Akili chose to sell himself and delist and go private. So far, the three musketeers of overseas digital therapeutics have all fallen. If you count from the listing of Pear, a three-year cycle, the waves will sweep away the heroes. On the surface, the main reason for the collapse of these companies is financial problems, but the deeper reason is the commercialization challenges faced by digital therapeutics. The challenge is that digital therapeutics need to have drug-like efficacy in order to gain market acceptance, but the embarrassment is that prescription digital therapeutics are not drugs per se, but more about using technical ...
