Internet of Things Market in Healthcare Exceeds $100 Billion

Leave a comment


Kalorama Information Logo

There are 21 companies generating over $1 billion each from healthcare IoT revenues, according to the report.


ARLINGTON, Va. (PRWEB)

The global market for internet of things (IoT) in healthcare – the market for items designed to be connected to the internet and to other devices – is estimated to have a value of nearly $103 billion for 2019, according to a new market research report by Kalorama Information.

The industry adoption of technology in healthcare is driven by an increase in government mandates, staffing shortages, the need to improve clinical outcomes, and increasing pressures on healthcare functions. There are 21 companies generating over $1 billion each from healthcare IoT revenues, according to the report.

By 2020, it’s estimated that there will be 21 billion internet-connected devices in the world, up from more than 3.9 billion connected devices in 2016. For point of comparison, approximately 4.9 million devices were connected to the internet in 2015 — indicating that the number of connected devices went from millions to billions in just a year.

The continued adoption of internet-related equipment, devices, and services in the health industry is expected to drive the market to reach $170.3 billion by 2024. The growing availability of services and vendors will increase access to complex systems and provide more options directly focused on meeting the demands of the health industry. Revenue growth is expected to remain steady, averaging more than 10% annually.

IoT can be used to increase diagnostic throughput and improve accuracy, enabling healthcare providers to make fast, more informed decisions for patients. There is a severe shortage of physicians worldwide, and rates of incorrect diagnosis are skyrocketing. Medical professionals are under more pressure than ever before, and IoT can make a meaningful impact on the healthcare industry.

Due to the rapidly growing elderly population, health issues are increasing, while there is a concerted effort to control costs. IoT healthcare devices provide a lower-cost and less intrusive way to manage health wearables and deliver medication reminders, while IoT-enabled portable diagnostic devices reduce the number of visits to the doctor and increase the level of care.

Kalorama’s new report provides an overview of the IoT market and highlights some of the technological advancements in IoT in healthcare. This is not an exhaustive list of the many devices in development or on the market but rather highlights some of the more innovative advancements.

The internet of things in healthcare market is fragmented and diverse in its participation of vendors, from medical device giants such as Medtronic to leading technology and infrastructure providers such as Cerner and Google.

The report, “Internet of Things (IoT) in Healthcare,” reveals there are approximately 20 companies that generate healthcare-related IoT sales above $1 billion. These are listed in Kalorama Information’s report.

For more than 30 years, Kalorama Information has been a leading publisher of market research in healthcare areas, including in vitro diagnostics (IVD), imaging, biotechnology, healthcare, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals.

Sarfez Completes Formulation Development, Plans Clinical Trials for Combination of Loop Diuretic and SGLT-2 Inhibitor

Leave a comment


“This is an important step in the development process for our fixed-dose combination of extended release torsemide and dapagliflozin.” said Salim Shah, PhD, JD, Founder and Chairman


VIENNA, Va. (PRWEB)

Sarfez Pharmaceuticals has received a Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trade Office (USPTO) regarding the patent application titled “Controlled-Release Formulations Comprising Torsemide.” The company is developing a fixed-dose combination of torsemide and a sodium glucose linked transport-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, dapagliflozin; for the treatment of heart failure (HF) and to reduce HF-related hospitalizations and readmissions. The company has completed formulation development work and will begin conducting clinical trials in first quarter of 2020.

Heart failure affects about 5.7 million people in the U.S., making up to 1.8% of the population. There are 550,000 new HF cases diagnosed each year, with 60% of new patients over the age of 70. Today, diuretics constitute a key drug therapy to treat HF. However, most loop diuretics suffer from defects and complications, including electrolyte and metabolic disturbances and a reduction in glomerular filtration rate, which is already reduced in most HF patients. Another class defect of loop diuretics is the short duration of action, 2-4 hours after dosing, which contributes to their inadequate effectiveness.

Sarfez’s latest patent application covers the combination of extended release torsemide and an immediate release formulation of a SGLT-2 inhibitor such as dapagliflozin. The patent application covers both a composition matter/formulation and a method of treatment for the new combination, designed to improve results over solo SGLT2 therapy for HF treatments.

Torsemide is a high-ceiling loop diuretic with relatively longer half-life and higher but less variable bioavailability compared to the most commonly used loop diuretic, furosemide. Torsemide is approved for the treatment of edema in patients with HF, chronic kidney disease, liver cirrhosis, and arterial hypertension (AH). It is the only loop diuretic shown to effectively lower high blood pressure, even with low doses.

SGLT-2 inhibitors block kidney glucose reabsorption and allow glucose excretion in urine, reducing the level of glucose in the blood. Several SGLT-2 inhibitors are approved by the FDA as an adjunct therapy for the treatment of diabetes, but newly published data from several multi-center clinical studies have shown their additional benefits in heart failure patients, specifically in reducing readmission and hospitalization rates for heart failure. Co-administration of a loop diuretic further enhances the effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors. These additive effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors and loop diuretics come from their synergistic effects of reducing glucose and sodium reabsorption, respectively. Based on these scientific principles, Sarfez Pharmaceuticals has developed a fixed-dose combination of dapagliflozin (SGLT-2 inhibitor) and the company’s proprietary formulation of extended release torsemide (loop diuretic) for heart failure treatment.

“We are pleased by the USPTO’s positive response to our patent application covering a new composition of matter and a method of treatment for heart failure,” said Salim Shah, PhD, JD, Founder and Chairman, Sarfez Pharmaceuticals. “This is an important step in the development process for our fixed-dose combination of extended release torsemide and dapagliflozin. Sarfez Pharmaceuticals is committed to creating new drug therapies designed to improve patient outputs at a reasonable price.”

Sarfez Pharmaceuticals, headquartered in Vienna, VA is a pharmaceutical research and development company focused on improving existing drugs to provide better treatment options for cardio-renal diseases. Sarfez Pharmaceuticals is dedicated to creating better treatment options and reducing patient expenses by improving existing cardiovascular drugs and offering them at a reasonable cost and with greater price transparency.

optimize.health Named a Finalist in Cerner Code App Challenge

Leave a comment



SEATTLE (PRWEB)

optimize.health, the digital healthcare platform that powers provider reimbursements for the new wave of remote patient care, today announced that it has been named a finalist in the 2019 Cerner Open Developer Experience (code) App Challenge. This annual contest encourages third-party developers to design applications that integrate with electronic health records (EHR) systems to improve consumers’ access to their health information.

After careful deliberation, judges selected Seattle-based optimize.health as one of five companies deemed to best exemplify Cerner’s commitment to innovation in digital health. The firm unveiled its solution earlier this year, combining high-quality remote patient monitoring devices with an intuitive digital interface that allows patients to manage chronic medical conditions from the comfort of their own homes. The physiologic data they produce – vital signs, weight, blood pressure, heart rate and more – is then securely shared via optimize.health’s HIPAA-compliant platform with their healthcare professionals. This vital data can alert the patient’s clinicians to potential health issues at a nascent stage, enabling them to update care recommendations if necessary. Such early interventions can lead to better health outcomes, subsequently reducing hospital readmissions and, in turn, healthcare expenditures.

“We’re delighted to be selected as a finalist in this prestigious competition,” said Jeff LeBrun, co-founder and CEO of optimize.health. “We share Cerner’s commitment to providing transformative solutions that empower patients to better engage with their data and take a more active role in managing their health. Our platform also offers care providers greater insight into patients’ daily habits, and helps them to manage reimbursement for remote care rendered.”

Cerner, one of the largest suppliers of electronic health record systems in the country, launched its annual code App Challenge in 2016. As part of the entry process, third-party developers are encouraged to use Cerner’s health IT platforms and resources to build apps that facilitate patients’ access to data and accelerate transformation in healthcare. Potential solutions may be submitted at any stage of development–whether in ideation phase or as a working demo—but are required to embed across all EHR platforms. Apps may be created independently, as a team, or in collaboration with hospitals and health systems.

The winner of this year’s challenge will be announced in December and will receive a one-year membership to Cerner’s code program, as part of which Cerner engineers help to guide the app through the validation process. The winning proposal will also be added to Cerner’s code app gallery.

Interest in mobile health technologies has been growing in recent years, as hospitals and care providers seek to balance the healthcare needs of a rapidly aging population with burgeoning costs. In 2019, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) further paved the way for the adoption of innovative digital health solutions with the introduction of Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes that support expanded reimbursement for remote care services. optimize.health’s platform meets the necessary standards for Medicare reimbursement and is currently used by some of the nation’s most respected health systems and research hospitals, as well as smaller practices wishing to embrace the benefits of remote patient monitoring. For more information, please see here.

About Optimize Health

Established in 2018 by experienced digital health entrepreneurs Jeff LeBrun and Chuks Onwuneme, optimize.health makes it easy for healthcare providers to offer patient-centric, reimbursable remote monitoring. optimize.health’s solution offers a wide selection of affordable devices, which integrate seamlessly with its easy-to-use technology platform, empowering patients and providers alike to improve health outcomes and contain costs.

Can Pets Help Today’s Teens Cope with Mental Health Issues?

Leave a comment


“While previous generations have come to understand the positive impact pets can have on their health and well-being, members of Gen Z are tackling entirely new pressures and mental health issues unique to their generation.”


STAMFORD, Conn. (PRWEB)

American Pet Products Association (APPA) CEO Steve King announced that the Association’s non-profit campaign Pets Add Life (PAL), charged with promoting the joys and benefits of responsible pet ownership, launched its latest video campaign today. A Pet Sees You is a short film highlighting the mental health benefits of pet ownership for members of the Gen Z population. To help tell the story, PAL has partnered with Gen Z director, Richelle Chen, to connect with young adults on a relatable and emotional level. Watch A Pet Sees You on YouTube or visit http://www.PetsAddLife.org.

“While previous generations have come to understand the positive impact pets can have on their health and well-being, members of Gen Z are tackling entirely new pressures and mental health issues unique to their generation,” said King. “We’re committed to doing our part to help promote alternative ways pets can help today’s younger generations cope with their struggles, while joining the meaningful, and extremely timely, mental health conversation.”

A Pet Sees You shows the day to day challenges of a high-school aged girl who faces the constant pressures of school, having an online presence, anxiety, heavy use of technology, mass shootings, and the desire to change the world. Despite these struggles, the short film emphasizes that a pet sees you, even when it feels like others don’t. The actress in the film stars alongside an affectionate and loyal Weimaraner, who also happens to be her best friend behind the scenes. The duo was cast as a package deal, making their on-screen connection even more relatable.    

According to a recent Wakefield survey of 1,000 Gen Z Americans ages 11-17, nearly 80 percent have a pet in their household. 60 percent have a dog, 36 percent have a cat, 14 percent own fish and 23 percent have a small animal, reptile, bird or horse. Research from the 2019-2020 APPA National Pet Owners Survey also shows that Gen Zers identify stress relief (66 percent) and reduced levels of anxiety and depression (61 percent) as specific health benefits of pet ownership, more than any other generation.    

“With the growing support of research showing that pet ownership can positively affect the Gen Z population, the pet care community has a responsibility to be at the forefront of these important discussions,” said King.

In conjunction with A Pet Sees You, PAL has provided resources on its website to further connect with Generation Z, which include links to mental health lifelines, quizzes to help respondents find their perfect pet, influencer testimonials, a pet finder and conversation starters to help teens talk to their parents about getting a pet.
