Healthcare Supply Chain Management Goes Digital With Lisa Israelovitch AssistIQ TRANSCRIPT
Empowered Patient Podcast
Lisa Israelovitch, Co-Founder and CEO of AssistIQ, is addressing the challenges in healthcare supply chain management caused by a lack of accurate data on supplies used across the care facility, which leads to operational inefficiencies and financial losses. The previous methods of tracking have often been manual and unreliable, involving product stickers, barcode readers, and manual data entry. Using computer vision and AI to automatically see, track, and document every product used is improving data accuracy, saving clinicians' time, enabling inventory tracking and product expiration...

Shape-Shifting Device Extends Stroke Treatment to Smaller Brain Vessels with Ronen Eckhouse Rapid Medical TRANSCRIPT
Empowered Patient Podcast
Ronen Eckhouse, Co-Founder and CEO of Rapid Medical, identifies the limitations of current stroke treatments, which are primarily effective for large vessel occlusions. The Rapid Medical TIGERTRIEVER device is designed to safely and effectively treat strokes and remove clots in smaller vessels deeper in the brain. The unique adjustability of the device allows physicians to control the size and force during a procedure, allowing for precise and safer clot removal in complex anatomies. Ronen explains, "So the quicker or the less time there is between the stroke and the ability to...

Short RNA Therapy Targets Survival Genes in Treatment for Multiple Cancer Types with Robert Schickel NUAgo Therapeutics
Empowered Patient Podcast
Robert Schickel, Chief Executive Officer at NUAgo Therapeutics, is developing a cancer therapy using short RNAs to target and disrupt interconnected survival genes in cancer cells. The therapy has been shown to be non-toxic to healthy cells, which have high levels of microRNAs, whereas cancer cells downregulate microRNAs to become metastatic. This is a systems-biology therapeutic approach that targets the entire survival network of a cell, making it independent of specific mutations or pathways and potentially applicable to the vast majority of solid tumors. Robert explains, "NUAgo is a...

Local Drug Delivery Technology Transforming Pancreatic Cancer Treatment with Shaun Bagai RenovoRx TRANSCRIPT
Empowered Patient Podcast
Shaun Bagai, CEO of RenovoRx, has designed a drug-delivery platform to treat hard-to-reach chemo-resistant tumors such as pancreatic cancer by delivering chemotherapy directly to the tumor site. The RenovoCath device increases the drug concentration in the tumor while significantly reducing systemic toxicities and side effects. The technology is not intended to replace the traditional approach using systemic chemotherapy and radiation, but to achieve better results in tumors with low blood supply that prevent drugs from reaching their target in sufficient concentrations. Shaun explains,...
info_outlineDr. Mohammed Elamir, lead physician at Aviv Clinics, offers diagnostics and treatments for brain injuries such as PTSD, stroke, and traumatic brain injury and to address cognitive decline. After comprehensive physical and mental assessment, including brain scans, patients receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy and other therapies like psychotherapy and neurocognitive training. Individualized plans are designed to get to the root causes of neurological and cognitive issues and stimulate the growth of new cells and blood flow, even for patients with long-standing conditions.
Dr. Mo explains, "Our pre-assessment testing is a lot more rigorous than your kind of annual physical. We do three to five days of testing that can involve medical evaluations with the medical doctors and advanced blood work for different biomarkers for injury or inflammation. Two very specific brain scans that I think separate our assessment from most, and one is an MRI with DTI analysis. That is a microstructure analysis of the brain. So we can look at the nerve tracks running through the brain, how well-connected, and how dense they are."
"If somebody’s approved for the treatment, they would undergo up to a 12-week treatment regimen involving hyperbaric oxygen therapy. And we can go into the details of that oxygen therapy, but in addition to that, they’ll have other appointments, whether it’s PT, psychological counseling, or neurocognitive training. And by the end of the 12 weeks, they should be feeling better, but objectively, we want to see why. We repeat the entire pre-treatment assessment at the end so we can have an objective comparison."
