To fix a patient's irregular heartbeat, doctors first tested its digital 'twin' Scientists at Johns Hopkins University are creating virtual replicas of patients’ hearts so they can test how to fix a life-threatening irregular heartbeat before treating the real organ.

Fact Check: Weakening the patent system won't lower prices for patients. It would undermine medical progress. In a recent STAT article, I-MAK CEO Tahir Amin argues that abuses of the patent system are leading to higher drug costs. But this gets the logic exactly backwards — it is because of the patent system…

Disrupting the #patent system wouldn't lower #patient costs. It would only ensure that fewer lifesaving drugs and #therapies reach those who need them.

Co-Designing and Evaluating a Multimodal #digital Application to Enable People With Dementia to Self-Report Quality of Life #patient-Reported Outcome Measures: Co-Design #study and Summative Evaluation Background: Worldwide, there are an estimated 55 million people living with dementia, with an estimated cost to society of US $1.3 trillion a year. These numbers are predicted to rise, with the dementia population doubling every 20 years, reaching an estimated 152 million by 2050. There is currently no cure for dementia, with the condition having a significant impact on people’s independence and quality of life (QoL). It is therefore vital that people living with dementia are given the support that helps them to manage these impacts and optimizes their QoL. To do this, a more personalized and detailed understanding of a #patient’s daily life is needed. #patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) have long been associated with significant benefits in other domains, though the use of PROMs in routine dementia care is lacking. Factors such as platform design, literacy, language proficiency, and physical and mental capability can all severely impact the ability of people living with dementia to complete PROMs routinely. Objective: This #study aims to co-design and evaluate a novel multimodal #digital application to enable people living with dementia to regularly self-report QoL PROMs. The research questions were (1) What features, questions, and modalities do people living with dementia prefer when interacting with a #digital application that enables them to self-report QoL PROMs? (2) What are the design considerations and specifications for a #digital application to enable people living with dementia to self-report QoL data via PROMs? Methods: People living with dementia, informal caregivers (ICs), and health care professionals (HCPs) #participated in iterative co-design workshops and a final summative evaluation to co-design a multimodal #digital application from initial concepts to a functional prototype. Prototypes were presented using cognitive walkthroughs and think-aloud protocols, and data were analyzed following framework analysis using interaction design and features voted for by #participants using MoSCoW (Must Have, Should Have, Could Have, Won't Have). Results: A total of 25 #participants took part in this #study (people living with dementia=9, ICs=4, and HCPs=12) developing and evaluating a total of 34 prototypes into a single final functional multimodal prototype that can collect PROMs using text, visuals, and voice. Conclusions: A functional prototype for a novel #digital application was developed that enables people living with dementia to regularly self-report QoL PROMs, which was then successfully evaluated by people living with dementia, ICs, and HCPs. The prototype was co-designed with direct involvement from people living with dementia during every stage of development, and this is one of the first studies to evaluate perceptions from key stakeholders (including people living with dementia, ICs, and HCPs) regarding the use of electronic #patient-reported outcome measures for dementia in routine care.

The #patient Monitoring Roundtable as Catalyst for Health Care Innovation: Case #study Background: In the field of #patient monitoring, there often remains a gap between clinical needs and the monitoring technologies available from industry. To conquer this, the #patient Monitoring Roundtable (PMRT) live event series offers a sustainable and structured platform for innovation through focused small-group discussions, prioritizing deep engagement among stakeholders. By establishing a dynamic, low-barrier forum, the PMRT aims to serve as a thought leadership platform in #patient monitoring and #digital health, driving continuous improvement and shaping the future of health care technology. Objective: This paper pursues 2 main objectives: first, to describe the concept, implementation, and practical insights of the PMRT as a novel format for transdisciplinary collaboration in #digital health; second, to evaluate its perceived impact and reception among #participants. Methods: The concept and implementation of the format were described using internal planning documents, event materials, and communication records. To evaluate #participant reception and perceived impact, a cross-sectional online survey was conducted between October 2024 and January 2025. The questionnaire was distributed at PMRT events and via #digital channels, including the PMRT newsletter and LinkedIn. Results: The PMRT was conducted 29 times between January 2022 and June 2025. It is usually structured in a keynote, followed by interactive small group workshops and a consecutive group discussion, and concluded by a networking session. Examples of topics include alarm management, tele-surveillance and care, user testing of monitoring devices, implementation science, data protection and cybersecurity, artificial intelligence in medicine, and interoperability. Following each event, a structured set of postevent activities ensures continued engagement and knowledge dissemination. A total of 47 responses were included in the survey analysis. The 2 most represented professional backgrounds were industry representatives and physicians. Other #participants came from nursing, research, or other fields. Most respondents reported having experience in #patient monitoring and #digital health, with no notable differences across professional backgrounds or gender. More than half had attended several PMRT events. Formats such as small group discussions and workshops were viewed as highly effective in fostering dialogue. Most #participants felt they were part of a professional community, and some reported having established new collaborations. Informal exchanges and interactive workshops were seen as the most valuable aspects of the event. Conclusions: The PMRT presents a novel, structured, low-threshold platform for clinical-centered transdisciplinary dialogue, professional networking, and knowledge exchange in the field of #digital health. #participant reception confirms high acceptance and perceived impact, with many reporting strengthened community ties and new collaborations and valuing the interactive workshop format. These findings demonstrate that the PMRT can serve both as an innovative collaboration model and as a platform with tangible benefits for its attendees.

Evaluating a Telehealth Coaching and Mobile-Based #digital Engagement Intervention for People With #Cancer Using the #Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global Health: Pilot Questionnaire #Study Background: People with #Cancer often experience unmet needs during treatment and survivorship, which can impact their ability to carry out daily tasks, reduce their quality of life, and limit their participation in work and social activities. #Cancer Coach by #CancerAid (now known as Osara Health) is a #digital health intervention designed to address these needs through a combination of synchronous telehealth coaching and an asynchronous mobile app that supports behavior change and emotional well-being. Objective: This #Study aimed to evaluate the impact of #Cancer Coach by #CancerAid on the mental and physical health of people with #Cancer using #Patient-reported outcomes. Methods: Participants were referred to the program via insurers and hospital clinics. Health coaches administered the #Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System 10-item Global Health Short Form via telephone at both the beginning and end of the intervention. This tool measures global physical health (GPH) and global mental health (GMH). Pre- and postintervention scores were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed rank tests. Independent 2-tailed t tests assessed whether changes in GPH and GMH scores were associated with the use of health coaching alone or in combination with the mobile app. Results: Statistically significant improvements were observed in both GPH (z=−4.97; P
