Do you have to come close to death to invent a groundbreaking medical device? That’s certainly not something we would wish upon every medtech entrepreneur. But it is the story of Shavini Fernando and the connected earring OxiWear that she developed. Shavini lives with Eisenmenger syndrome, a condition where the two ventricles of her heart communicate. This condition dramatically increases the pressure in her pulmonary vasculature and severely limits the oxygen carried in her blood. It’s a

One of the greatest fantasies in medicine is to one day be able to offer any patient a therapy perfectly adapted to their profile and needs.A "personalized" medicine. The term was introduced to the public in 1999 through an article in The Wall Street Journal titled "New Era of Personalized Medicine: Targeting Drugs for Each Unique Genetic Profile." The enthusiasm for these next-generation therapies was fueled by advances in DNA sequencing, which hinted at future discoveries in genomics and rapid

According to the WHO, unsafe medication practices and medication errors are a leading cause of avoidable harm in health systems across the globe.In the European Union alone, this translates to nearly 200,000 deaths annually. The magnitude of this problem has led to global initiatives such as "Medication Without Harm," launched in 2017, aiming to reduce medical errors by 50% over five years. Although there is a need for more data on the results of this initiative, we are far from having reached the

What will the future of surgery look like?According to Dr. George Papagiannakis, we must count on virtual simulation. After all, simulators are an integral part of professional training in highly demanding fields like aviation or F1. So why not medicine? The approach might seem futuristic, but George and his team at ORamaVR share a vision that makes a lot of sense. Integrating extended reality in surgery means increasing the volume of hours spent operating. It means preparing each surgery on a

Our gut contains a world of microorganisms that impact many aspects of our health, well beyond the gastrointestinal system.In fact, more than 30 trillion bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses live in the digestive tract of every human, a number that is higher than the number of human cells that make up our body! Each microbiome is unique to an individual, and its genetic heritage represents approximately 100 times that of the human genome. This field is fascinating and science is advancing rapidly,

Among pioneering companies in connected health devices, few have been as forward-thinking as Withings, a flagship of French technology. Their first connected scales date back to 2009 (when smartphones were still emerging!) and remain the industry standard today. For that time, it was a subtle blend combining sleek design, intuitive user experience, and medical precision. A formula that Withings has successfully applied and developed in many other areas, from smartwatches to sleep sensors,

Medical biology and laboratories play an essential role in any health system. No wonder 70 to 80% of all medical decisions are based on laboratory test results. But even within the most advanced healthcare systems, the communication and analysis of lab data remain archaic. Processing times can be lengthy, even after the analysis is completed. Results are expressed as "out of range" or "in range", without complementary or actionable information. An experience still far from current technological
