FDA mobile apps

    This article talks about the FDA providing guidelines to developers of mobile apps that can potentially carry more than minimal risks for its end users. App examples provided on the article include those that can diagnose arrhythmia or mobile devices that can be utilized as an ultrasound.  I think this article would be a good read for anyone who have purchased any health/medical related up on Google Play or the iTunes store.  It's good to know that the FDA recognizes the importance of putting some regulations in place in terms of these apps knowing that some individuals have a tendency of doing self-diagnosis using these apps prior to paying their doctors a visit.

  • The FDA Approves Medtronic’s MiniMed 670G Hybrid Closed Loop System
  • the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Medtronic’s MiniMed 670G hybrid closed loop insulin pump and more accurate Guardian continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor, Guardian Sensor 3. 
  • the 670G will reduce time at dangerous high and low blood sugar levels, improve time-in-range, reduce glucose variability, bring much greater nighttime safety and target morning blood sugars, and reduce diabetes hassle. The 670G is not a “cure” and still requires some user effort (see below), but it is a very welcome advance that will make insulin therapy safer and easier for many people with diabetes – and potentially greatly improve their control.

  • Many companies are working on similar automated insulin delivery products – Animas, Tandem, Insulet, Bigfoot, and others – meaning several options should exist for people with diabetes in the coming years. A special mention goes to JDRF and the tremendous vision and commitment of Jeffrey Brewer and Dr. Aaron Kowalski for pioneering this approach back in the early 2000s.

    My Fiance received a smiliar model, the 630G, last week. This is a huge improvement from the older model she was wearing! I'm excited for her and her safety as the technology advances to help people with Type 1 Diabetes to live a more normal life.

    The CMS website provides information as it pertains to the new Sunshine Act that went into effect in 2013. The law requires certain industries to report payments made to physicians and encourage transparency. Data gathered by the CMS will be published on the website and can be accessed by the public.

    Approved for commercial use by the FDA in 2000, the DaVinci robotic system might not be new to you, but it appears to be gaining popularity in some areas of the country. A demo was set up in this mall allowing patrons to sit in the Captain's chair of this amazing machine.
