Human wounds, especially chronic nonhealing wounds, have emerged as a significant clinical challenge for healthcare providers due to traditional wound care products’ inability to treat biofilm-associated infections in wounds, prolonging the wound healing process and difficulty in reducing trauma during wound management. In addition, the rising nu...

Bionic devices are mechatronic or electronic platforms that can perform the physical and biological functions of body parts or organs that are lost or damaged because of chronic conditions or accidents. Patients that suffer complete vision loss because of retinal diseases; upper and lower limb amputations caused by accidents or chronic diseases; an...

The concept of companion diagnostics (CDx) was developed when researchers realized that even potent drugs only had an efficacy between 25% and 60%, the lowest being in oncology. Therefore, a clinical pharmacogenetic assay became important to distinguish patients more likely to respond to a drug or at a lesser risk of associated adverse pathophysiol...

Healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic has undeniably seen some of its most significant changes. The growth of digital health was a silver lining, and enterprise IT solution providers and telehealth vendors saw tremendous growth during this time. They will continue to see the same in the coming years. Digital health continued to have a winning str...
