Security is a problem, right? Well there's a radically different way to view it – as a positive force capable of putting clear water between you and your competitors. 

Patient monitoring is an inherent part of patient management. Intermittent and continuous measurements have a range of uses, from defining disease states and characterising progression to informing therapeutic approaches and...

As the debate moves on – and as we continue to learn from real-world deployments rather than abstract research – it seems like a good time to revisit our core principles for responsible AI. What should we be considering when we develop and deploy AI?

Remote Human Factors testing of medical devices is a concept already being explored, and given the restrictions placed on us by the pandemic, has become a hot topic. The question is, even if it's viable, will the regulators accept it? 

Digital twins are everywhere, whether you realize it or not. They’ve been around for a long time in the industrial arena where digital representations of a plane or car in aerospace and automotive help engineers model and test systems without having to build a real prototype.

Recent months have seen an extraordinary global focus on intensive care and mechanical ventilators, as governments respond to the COVID-19 emergency. Understandably, much of the media attention has concentrated on urgent efforts to create the capacity to cover worst case pandemic scenarios. But beyond the headlines, what role will innovation now play in improving ventilators and ventilation? 

Tim Ensor shared his insights from working with a global medical device company to invent deep learning algorithms to amplify clinical trials data by 30x. 

Lockdown is changing everything. Not least the digital revolution rippling through GP surgeries in the UK, where start-ups are disrupting the disruptors to accelerate mass adoption of new patient services. The BBC’s...

It was fantastic to win one of the coveted iF DESIGN AWARDS for Alma, our smart cooling case for injectable fertility drugs. International recognition was a nice boost to the team responsible for a concept with potential to improve quality of life for women facing the challenges of IVF treatment...

The future of non-contact monitoring: some novel devices which were presented at  CES 2020 for improving health and detecting disease conditions. Many of these were wearables; some are portable. A non-contact monitoring system developed at Cambridge Consultants is described, including a discussion of a range of areas where these technologies could be applied.

Our webinar reveals how device developers will need to maneuver through conservative, highly regulated, monopolistic yet fragmented healthcare systems that often provide contradictory incentives. Following the presentation, our audience had the opportunity to ask a variety of questions. Here’s what our experts had to say in reply.

The medical implant industry is set to grow from $5bn in 2017 to $16.3bn by 2022. But there are tensions to understand and hurdles to overcome for innovators intent on taking advantage.
