I am not sure that this is a practical use for individual patients. But it could be an additional safety measure for pharmacies and physicians. I mean there is always the possibility of counterfeit drugs and devices making their way into the US. We recently had a case here in KY where a doctor is being charged with supplying patients with intrauterine devices that are approved for use in this country but he had personally brought them into the US from another country. Unfortunately for his patients many of the devices used were not effective and have been caused injury to his patients.
think this is a very good article and each example is representative. All of these 10 innovations in their related areas have brought great convenience to people and protected people's health more effectively. Moreover, I believe that all these ten companies must have strong economic strength and advanced science and technology, so that they can make so effective innovations.
From these 10 innovations, Sproxil, D-Rev, Proteus Digital Health, and GE Healthcare, leave me with a deep impression.
The Sproxil innovation effectively prevents the circulation of counterfeit drugs in the pharmaceutical market and protects the patient's health, reducing the number of patients who delay their treatment or even die by using counterfeit drugs.
The D-Rev innovation must be a boon for third-world healthcare. I come from China and know that in China, this fact does exist that some patients abandon the use of top-quality medical products because of the high price.
Indeed, I am very interested in the Proteus Digital Health innovation and have some questions. When the drug is absorbed by the body, what will the sensor do inside our body? Will it be out of the body or stay in the body? If it stays in our body, will it have the possibility to harm our body?
Last but not least, the GE Healthcare innovation can be said to be a model of medical imaging machines. In my mind, the medical imaging machines are often have a complex structure and a relatively large size, and are not easy to carry. It is the GE Healthcare innovation that makes people to use ultrasonic machine more convenient, and people can use it in anywhere at any time. I think the C-arm X-ray machine is another good example, so I hope some medical device companies can make a great innovation for CT machines and MRI machines and lead those two machines to be more convenient for people to use.
