Les Etats-Unis viennent d'autoriser la mise sur le marché d'un pilule connectée, capable de surveiller les patients.

(CCM) — La FDA américaine a récemment autorisé (lien en anglais) un premier médicament connecté, qui surveille la prise des traitements par les patients. Cette pilule connectée baptisée Abilify MyCite pourrait révolutionner le rapport que les malades entretiennent avec leur santé.

Une fois avalée, la pilule se loge dans l’estomac. De là, elle transmet ses données à un patch porté par le patient, qui à son tour peut communiquer avec un médecin ou un proche du malade. Pour fonctionner, le système repose sur un capteur mesurant en permanence l’acidité de l’estomac. Ainsi, il est possible de savoir si le malade prend régulièrement son traitement. La capteur permet également de suivre les doses de médicament ingérées, leur régularité et d'autres données de santé plus personnelles comme le sommeil, l'activité physique etc.

Cette pilule connectée pourrait donc permettre de surveiller très étroitement le comportement de patients à risque. Le mauvais suivi des traitements coûte cher au système de santé américain, et le micro-capteur mis au point par les chercheurs d’Abilify permettraient de le réduire considérablement.

The FDA has approved a blood sugar monitor that doesn’t require a finger prick | #Research #Medicine #Diabetes

The FDA has approved a blood sugar monitor that doesn’t require a finger prick | #Research #Medicine #Diabetes | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
From techcrunch.com - September 28, 2017 4:32 PM
Further proof the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has been warming up to modern technology — it has just approved the first continuous blood sugar monitor that doesn’t require the user to prick themselves over and over for a blood sample.

Today, the FDA cleared Abbot’s FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System, a device that uses a small sensor wire inserted under the skin to determine glucose levels in adult diabetics. Another wand-like device is then waved over the sensor to measure and give a readout of those glucose levels.

This is a milestone move for the FDA as diabetes affects nearly 30 million people in the United States who currently have to test their blood sugar by pricking themselves several times throughout the day and every time they eat.

These Medical Apps Have Doctors and the FDA Worried

These Medical Apps Have Doctors and the FDA Worried | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
From www.wired.com - July 29, 2014 4:36 PM
Iltifat Husain has seen an awful lot of sickness and injury during his time as an emergency room doctor, but lately, he’s worried about something new. He’s worried about the ill effects of mobile healthcare apps. There are hundreds of medically themed apps in Apple’s App Store and Google Play, and by most accounts, they’ve…


Now that the FDA is investigating, it will most likely work with app makers to ensure that they post adequate warnings on their unproven software. When products like these are intended to measure vital signs, they need to first be cleared by the FDA before they can be sold in the U.S., says Christopher Rush, a former FDA investigator who is now president of FDA Quality and Regulatory Consultants. And with these “recreational” medical apps, the FDA is going to take steps to ensure that consumers aren’t misled into using them for medical advice. “They’re going to ask the software developers to stop selling it until they get those warnings in place,” he says. If that doesn’t work, the FDA will most likely go straight to Apple and Google and ask them to pull the apps.

FDA OKs continuous blood sugar monitor without finger pricks | #Research #Medicine #Diabetes | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
From apnews.com - September 28, 2017 7:37 PM
U.S. regulators have approved the first continuous blood sugar monitor for diabetics that doesn’t need backup finger prick tests.

Current models require users to test a drop of blood twice daily to calibrate, or adjust, the monitor.

The pain of finger sticks and the cost of testing supplies discourage many people from keeping close tabs on their blood sugar, which is needed to manage insulin use and adjust what they eat.

Abbott’s new FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System, approved Wednesday by the Food and Drug Administration, uses a small sensor attached to the upper arm. Patients wave a reader device over it to see the current blood sugar level and changes over the past eight hours.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared the use of the XSTAT 30—an innovative sponge-filled gunshot wound dressing device—for use in the general population. Approved last year for battlefield use, the device can plug a gunshot wound in just 15 seconds.
