Remote monitoring can predict a stroke two months before it occurs

Publicerad: 10 juni, 2022 av Elida Cimic |

Cardiolyse enables remote vital sign monitoring and personalized patient reports for early diagnostics of cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients – basically it can predict a stroke two months before it occurs.

Cardiolyse adds value to primary as well as secondary prevention, giving early signs to healthcare professionals and engaging patient self-managed care says Normunds Daudiss, CBDO of Cardiolyse.

Cardiolyse provides a chronic and post-discharge cardiovascular disease (CVD) patient monitoring platform with cloud-based heart health AI analytics. The Heart Health Analytics platform features:

  • Automatic rest ECG & Holter ECG, as well as HRV data analysis
  • Cardiac risk assessment and monitoring
  • Warnings of personal behavioral changes
  • Device agnostic solution

The platform takes raw heart health (ECG, HRV) data and turns them into actionable insight, for caregivers and doctors to take the appropriate action. The risk-stratification and decision support Scoring System can be used for different patient groups (chronic, post-MI, CAD, post AF ablation, etc).

– Intervention at the right time leads to fewer physician office visits, fewer dangerous heart events and less hospital readmissions. Cardiolyse provides a win-win situation for patients, hospitals and insurance companies, says Anna Starynska, CEO of Cardiolyse.

Solution consists of following key parts:

  • Standard ECG analysis – 19 arrhythmias
  • Myocardial damage – determines the dynamics of myocardial changes and determines the effectiveness of therapeutic measures
  • A patented Universal ECG Score System – quantitative assessment of patient’s condition. This method is non-specific but sensitive for evaluating the effectiveness of therapeutic measures and has a proven predictive value 2 months in advance in relation to the outcome of a number of diseases.

The analytics modules and the whole cloud architecture are ideal for remote patient monitoring. It includes secured data storage, web dashboard, and applications for patients, as well as supervisory access and report editing software for caregivers.

Interview with CEO Stefan Malmberg

Snabbare hjälp när barn får berätta om sin situation genom en app

Publicerad: 16 maj, 2022 av Elida Cimic |

Sedan 1 januari 2020 är barnkonventionen lag i Sverige. Det innebär bland annat att barn har rätt att uttrycka sin mening i alla frågor som berör dem. Det är inte alltid så lätt att prata om saker när man är ung. Därför finns Ommej-appen, där barn och ungdomar kan svara skriftligt på frågor och på så vis berätta hur de egentligen har det. 

Ommej är ett av 18 utvalda bolag som kommer att visa upp sina lösningar i HealthTech Nordics monter B02:21 på ehälsomässan Vitalis i Göteborg 17-19 maj. HealthTech Nordic är Nordens största nätverk för ehälsobolag med syftet att stötta tillväxten av nya lösningar som driver en positiv förändring av vården.

– Allt fler unga mår dåligt och samhällsinsatserna räcker inte till. Köerna till BUP är orimligt långa och det behövs effektivare arbetssätt. Barn av idag är vana att kommunicera digitalt och vi har faktiskt fått in återkoppling från socialsekreterare som hävdar att de genom Ommej fått kontakt med barn som de annars inte nått fram till. Varje barn som kan få rätt hjälp snabbare är en seger, och i förlängningen även en samhällsekonomisk vinst, runt 10 miljoner kronor per barn, säger Nicolina Fransson, vd och grundare av Ommej.

Ommej är ett digitalt verktyg som underlättar för barn att berätta hur de mår. Appen kan användas av alla verksamheter som jobbar med barn, och till exempel kan en skolkurator bjuda in barnet till appen där hen får svara på frågor om hur hen har det, exempelvis i familjen, med kompisar och i skolan. Skolkuratorn får då en lättöverskådlig bild över barnets nätverk, önskemål, risker och resurser vilket i sin tur gör att hon snabbare kan förstå vilken hjälp som behövs exempelvis från skolan, BUP eller Socialtjänsten.

Ommej möjliggör också samverkan inom och mellan verksamheter med barnets helhetsperspektiv i centrum. Endast personen som bjudit in barnet till Ommej kan se svaren, och det behövs samtycke från barn och vårdnadshavare om svaren ska delas med andra instanser för att bättre kunna hjälpa barnet. Vid medgivande kan instanserna få möjlighet att dela barnets berättelse och på så vis få en gemensam syn av barnets problem och vilka behov av insatser som kan vara lämpliga. Barnet slipper också berätta sin historia flera gånger eftersom alla inblandade får tillgång till samma underlag. Frågorna är rakt formulerade med bildstöd. Det ger även barn med neuropsykiatriska funktionsnedsättningar möjlighet att berätta sin historia.

Ommej grundades 2018 och har idag 500 användare från vård, skola och omsorg över hela landet. 

Ny teknik kan spara dyrbara minuter vid stroke

Publicerad: 11 maj, 2022 av Elida Cimic |

Göteborgsföretaget Medfield Diagnostics har utvecklat Strokefinder™ MD100, ett bärbart instrument som ska fungera som ett beslutsstöd för till exempel ambulanspersonal och personal vid akutmottagningar vid utvärdering och prioritering av misstänkta akuta hjärnskador.

-Patienter med misstänkt stroke eller hjärnskada transporteras idag vanligtvis till sjukhus för undersökning med datortomografi (CT-röntgen) eller magnetkameraundersökning (MRI). Med Strokefinder™ kan detektion och behandling av stroke påbörjas redan i ambulansen och avsevärt minska risken för långvariga och bestående fysiska och mentala funktionsnedsättningar, säger Stefan Blomsterberg, vd för Medfield Diagnostics.

Medfield Diagnostics är medlem av nätverket HealthTech Nordic som under flera år samlat och stöttat tillväxten av nya lösningar inom hälso- och sjukvård. Idag är runt 315 nordiska bolag medlemmar, alla med lika spännande lösningar inom vitt skilda områden. Stefan Blomsterberg, vd för Medfield Diagnostics förklarar varför de valt att vara medlem i HealthTech Nordic:

-Vården har stora behov av ny teknik som effektiviserar processer och ger bättre vårdresultat. Vårdpersonalen måste få smartare teknik för att de ska kunna lägga sin tid och sitt kunnande på rätt saker. Ny teknik införs alldeles för långsamt i den offentliga vården idag och studier visar att effekten blir större om flera nya lösningar införs samtidigt. Tillsammans med andra medlemmar kan vi påskynda den modernisering av vården som krävs, vilket gynnar både samhällskostnader och folkhälsan, säger Stefan Blomsterberg, vd för Medfield Diagnostics.

Medfield Diagnostics teknik grundar sig på tio år av forskning och utveckling vid Chalmers. Strokefinder™ är ett litet batteridrivet instrument som med hjälp av mikrovågor och AI gör att sjukvården på mindre än fem minuter kan utvärdera en patient för att sedan, tillsammans med läkare avgöra vilket vårdbehov patienten har. Nu pågår E-certifiering, validering av konceptet i specifika miljöer, kliniska prövningar och studier bland annat tillsammans med Västra Götalandsregionen, Helse Vest i Norge, Region Skåne, NHS i UK, HMRI i Australien och planering för säljstart i Europa.

Mikrovågsteknik har egenskaper som även kan användas i den fortsatta utvecklingen av nya, mer kostnadseffektiva instrument och har bland annat visat stor potential att upptäcka blödningar i bröstkorg och buk och inom diagnostik av bröstcancer.

Medfield Diagnostics är ett av de 18 medlemsbolag som valts ut för att presentera sin lösning i Healthtech Nordics monter B02:21 på Vitalis, ehälsomässan i Göteborg 17-19/5.

Ehälsa så in i Norden

Publicerad: 10 maj, 2022 av Elida Cimic |

Ett av världens ledande nätverk av ehälsobolag, HealthTech Nordic, välkomnar alla nyfikna beslutsfattare, vårdprofessionella och politiker till Vitalis för att lära sig mer om hur den nya tekniken redan ger mer hälsa för pengarna.

- Vi vill uppmärksamma hur nya tjänster och produkter gör vården mer hållbar med bättre hälsa och resursfördelning. Vården behöver ställa om för att räcka till och just nu går den förändringen för långsamt. Det är svårt som beslutsfattare att få en överblick och veta vilka lösningar som finns att välja på. Vi vill hjälpa till att förklara – kom till oss så får du se, höra klämma och känna och ställa alla frågor du vill, säger Marianne Larsson, initiativtagare till HealthTech Nordic.

HealthTech Nordic har över 300 medlemsbolag, alla med fokus på bättre hälsa och vård. De nordiska aktörerna bakom HealthTech Nordic samarbetar för att stötta tillväxten av innovativa bolag i vårdbranschen med syftet att driva på moderniseringen av hälso- och sjukvården, hemma och i världen. Marianne är rädd att det försiktiga bemötandet från det offentliga är en fara för hela samhällsekonomin:

- Svenska beslutsfattare borde skynda sig att ta vara på dessa ledande nordiska lösningar i stället för att se på när de stora techbolagen – som Amazon och Google – kommer i kapp och sköljer över oss.

– Detta är en helt ny bransch som vi just nu leder. Vi har potentialen och försprånget i Norden att bidra till bättre hälsa för pengarna, bättre hälsa för alla och att än en gång även göra nytta i hela världen. Men då måste vi agera mycket snabbare tillsammans, som under pandemin.

Till Vitalis har 18 bolag valts ut att representera nätverket och visa upp sina lösningar HealthTech Nordics egen monter. Ytterligare medlemmar ställer ut i egna montrar. Bolagen har bevisat positiv effekt på till exempel livskvalitet, kognitiva funktioner, ökad trygghet, systemeffektivitet och behov av sjukhusinläggningar vilket i sin tur innebär att samhällets resurser används mer effektivt. För att lyfta fram nyttan har HealthTech Nordic även låtit genomföra en QALY-mätning som kommer att presenteras på ett seminarium under Vitalis.

– Jag tror att många bara ser på de här lösningarna som framtidens lösningar. Därför är det viktigt att berätta att de finns, fungerar och används framgångsrikt för hälsa och vård redan idag och borde få komma till nytta för många fler, säger Marianne Larsson. 

– Smart teknik för hälsa ger mer vård och bättre hälsa per investerad skattekrona, och det innebär förstås också en bättre samhällsekonomi och förutsättningar att verkligen möta behoven, säger Marianne Larsson, initiativtagare till HealthTech Nordic.

HealthTech Nordic träffas i monter B02:21 på Vitalis 17-19 maj. Seminariet ”Samhällseffekterna av healthtech i siffror” hålls på onsdagen, den 18 maj kl 11.30-12.00 i konferenssal A6.

Despite the pandemic – healthtech companies continue to grow rapidly, creating better health and new jobs

Publicerad: 14 april, 2021 av Elida Cimic |

Companies in the healthtech industry boosted their growth in 2020 as a result of the covid-19 pandemic, according to a new survey of the members of the HealthTech Nordic community. The companies, for example, hired more than 200 new staff during last year and as many as 74 % of the companies plan for additional recruitments in 2021.

Unlike many other industries, HealthTech Nordic’s member companies in the healthtech industry have continued to increase the number of new hires in 2020 and the companies are looking positively to the future. A third of the member companies in HealthTech Nordic’s survey state that the pandemic had a positive impact on their business during the year, mainly because the ongoing pandemic further accelerated the demand for digital healthcare solutions.

– The healthtech industry is growing rapidly, this has been the case for several years. The increase in 2020 is therefore logical, despite the impact of the pandemic. But unlike previous years, a larger number of companies are now growing, which indicates that digital health solutions are beginning to have a greater impact on the market and that customers are increasingly using the new services. Based on the results we’ve seen in this, as well as in previous, surveys I believe that we’ll see continued strong growth in the industry in the coming years, says Mikael Hilmersson, Associate Professor of Business Administration at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, who has conducted the survey on behalf of HealthTech Nordic.

On average, the companies that employed in 2020 employed 4,3 new people. Most new hires during the year had the Swedish companies Sidekick Health and Joint Academy with 32 and 30 new employees respectively.

NORDIC HEALTHTECH IMPROVE HEALTH WORLDWIDE

The survey shows that the Nordic healthtech companies currently are present in 22 countries and that the solutions are used by close to 2,5 million people – the companies contribute to health improvements all over the world. However, according to the survey, it’s the increased demand in companies Nordic home markets that has driven growth in 2020, not the international demand that previous years’ surveys have shown.

– The industry’s characteristics means companies growth takes time. It seems that most companies build themselves up in their home market for a few years before expanding internationally. In this industry, so-called “born digital” or “born global” companies are, simply put, unusual. It takes time to break through in the healthtech sector, the companies that are gaining momentum now had their first sales between three and five years ago, says Mikael Hilmersson, Associate Professor of Business Administration at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, who has conducted the survey on behalf of HealthTech Nordic.

However, there are exceptions. In last year, Danish member company Miiskin reported the largest international sales with sales in 130 countries and with over 12 000 paying customers, mainly in the US, the UK and Australia. The company, which provides an app that helps users track skin changes, has since its inception established an average of sales in 26 new countries per year. The Swedish companies OnDosis and Remente also report comparatively large international sales in 2020.

THE SURVEY IN NUMBERS
  • 208 new jobs created in 47 companies in 2020, the companies stated, of which 63 new jobs in Skåne, 71 in Region Västra Götaland, 59 in eastern Denmark and 15 in southern Norway
  • 74 % of the companies stated that they will recruit in 2021
  • 45 % of the companies reported international sales in 2020, sales take place in a total of 22 countries and on all continents except Antarctica
  • The largest international markets in 2020, according to the survey, were another Nordic country, followed by the US, the UK and Germany
  • The companies reported a total of 72 437 paying customers
  • The companies reported a total of 2 430 166 users of their products and services
  • 35 % of the companies stated that the pandemic had a positive impact on the company in 2020, 55 % stated that the pandemic had a negative impact and 10 % stated that they were not affected at all by the pandemic
  • 81 % of the companies stated that they are satisfied, very satisfied or that the support provided by the community has been instrumental during the year. Opportunities for networking, coaching and financial support was valued the most according to the survey. In general, most satisfied with the support are member companies that are more developed than the average.

Survey method: Of HealthTech Nordic’s total of 232 member companies, the 164 companies based in the border region of Öresund, Kattegat and Skagerrak, ie in Skåne and Västra Götaland in Sweden, eastern Denmark and southern Norway, were surveyed. The companies were surveyed by telephone. A total of 104 member companies participated, which resulted in a response rate of 6 7%. The results have been compiled by Mikael Hilmersson, Associate Professor of Business Administration at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, on behalf of HealthTech Nordic.

The survey of HealthTech Nordic’s members has been conducted every spring since 2018. The survey is supplemented every autumn by a review of all member companies’ annual reports, the growth figures from the survey then usually increase significantly.
