MagneTrace: Drug Compliance Necklace
Investigators from Georgia Tech developed an electronic necklace that can detect magnetized (tagged) pills as they pass through the esophagus. The idea is that the necklace will record the date and time of PO intake, and will send the data wirelessly to the computer.
“Forgetfulness is a huge problem, especially among the elderly, but so is taking the medication at the wrong time, stopping too early or taking the wrong dose,” said Maysam Ghovanloo, assistant professor in the Georgia Institute of Technology’s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. “Studies show that drug noncompliance costs the country billions of dollars each year as a result of re-hospitalization, complications, disease progression and even death.”Ghovanloo and graduate student Xueliang Huo have designed a sensor necklace that records the date and time a pill is swallowed, which they hope will increase drug compliance and decrease unnecessary health care costs. The device could also be used to ensure that subjects in clinical drug trials take the study medications as directed by the research team. The details of the proof-of-concept device were published in the December 2007 issue of the IEEE Sensors Journal.
The necklace, called MagneTrace, contains an array of magnetic sensors that could be used to detect when specially-designed medication containing a tiny magnet passes through a person’s esophagus. And for persons who may not want to wear a necklace, MagneTrace sensors can be incorporated into a patch attached to the chest.
The date and time the user swallowed the pill can be recorded on a handheld wireless device, such as a smartphone, carried on the user’s body. The information can then be sent to the patient’s doctor, caregiver or family member over the internet. The device can notify both the patient and the patient’s doctor if the prescribed dosage is not taken at the proper time.
MagneTrace, on the other hand, was designed so that it would have no effect on the body. Multiple strong magnets in the gastrointestinal tract can potentially result in a blockage. However, the magnet used in the pill or capsule is very small – three millimeters in diameter and about one millimeter thick – and coated with a thick indigestible, insoluble polymer coating that prevents absorption of the magnet and prevents magnets from aggregating.

Digital Audio Used for Treatment of Tinnitus
A company called Neuromonics believes it has developed an audio device that can treat people suffering from ringing in the ears, known as tinnitus. Using an audio player that over time changes the way it plays music and accompanying sounds, the firm already offers its service in number of clinics, reports today's Wall Street Journal:
For the first two months, the music mix includes a noise, which some describe as water in a shower, to cover the tinnitus. In the third month, the shower sound is removed and patients are instructed to turn up the music just loud enough so the tinnitus is audible only during the quiet parts. The idea is the brain will be gradually trained to ignore the tinnitus. After six months, patients use the device as needed.Cost, which includes the initial fitting and counseling on tinnitus management, ranges from $3,500 to $6,000 for the six-month treatment. It isn't generally covered by insurance.
The FDA approved the use of the device in 2005, and the company published its own study findings as to the effectiveness, but there is yet to be an independent assessment from a third party.

onePAC Prescription Packaging
Parata Systems, LLC, a Durham, N.C.-based firm, wants to get rid of pillboxes. Its new product, onePAC™ prescription packaging technology, is designed to simplify the distribution and uptake of medications. We aren't kidding: the distribution in this case means packaging by pharmacies, and uptake means the adherence by patients to their regiments.
onePAC prepares a person’s medications by day and dosing time in a sealed, clear plastic packet that is arthritic-approved for easy opening. Each onePAC dose is custom-printed with the person’s name; day and time of dose; medication names, strengths and descriptions; and other details to help them take the right medications at the right time, every time.Consumers request onePAC from their local pharmacy, so they keep that important care touch point with their local pharmacist. onePAC packaging is filled right at the pharmacy using Parata’s automated technology, and verified by the pharmacist, who is most familiar with the patient’s medication needs.
“If you or a loved one have faced the stress of missed doses of an important medication, or struggled to use a pillbox, the peace of mind and ease of onePAC packaging is immediately appealing,” said Tom Rhoads, executive vice president for customer and market strategies at Parata Systems. “From caregivers and their family members, to parents whose children must take medications at school, to busy travelers — onePAC helps people know when and how to take their medicines, reducing risk and ultimately helping them live healthier lives.”
How it Works
Rendering the “SMTWTFS” pillbox obsolete, a 30- to 90-day onePAC supply comes to patients as a perforated strip of individual onePAC packages, one for each dose, prepared in a convenient dispensing box that displays the next dose to be taken.
And it all happens right behind your pharmacy counter. Parata’s new PACMED technology makes it affordable and efficient for local pharmacies to provide this valuable service to consumers. It automatically and accurately prepares up to 50 multi-dose packages per minute; a big improvement over traditional med-prep programs, which can be very time-consuming for pharmacy staff to administer.

Light-based Hospital GPS
Talking Lights, a Boston, MA startup, is working on a system to assist people with cognitive problems to navigate. Developed to be used inside nursing homes and hospitals, the system uses a network of modified fluorescent light fixtures with unique flicker signatures, which are then used to navigate someone who has a specialized hand held computer. The idea is to assist patients moving around the hospital when they receive a variety of tests and procedures, in case they have trouble remembering how to get from one place to another.
The Talking Lights System is an optically-based, multiple-use, context aware local area wireless system for data transmission that makes it possible to achieve GPS-like position identification and guidance indoors, where GPS doesn't operate accurately.The Talking Lights communications link is created by modulating the light from an ordinary light fixture to encode information. The light continues to perform its original function of providing bright illumination without visible flicker while simultaneously establishing an information link for context-aware data transmission. The system has three parts:
a modulated light fixture that transmits a locator signal.
a portable receiver to acquire the signal.
software to process the signal from the light and furnish data to the receiver.
As it approaches the modulated light fixture, the receiver decodes and processes data from the light and transforms it into information that can be presented in analog or digital form. The Talking Lights System can be used to form a hybrid network that combines the advantages of optical location-finding with broadband WiFi duplex data transfer.
The Talking Lights network enables the receiver to determine its location or travel path, while the Wi-Fi network communicates rich information that is tied to a specific location.

Hand-held Computers Prod Older Adults To Exercise More
Inspired by generations of successful spouse-based nagging, Abby King, professor of health research and of medicine at Stanford, and her colleagues are studying the beneficial effects of having our beloved gadgetry prod us towards healthy lifestyles.
In a study that appears in the February issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, King showed that specially programmed PDAs, or personal digital assistants, can prod middle-aged and older Americans—the most sedentary segment of the U.S. population—into increasing their physical activity levels. This first-generation study follows on the heels of King’s research report in the December issue of Health Psychology, in which she showed that automated computer calls were almost as effective as live health educators in coaxing people previously less active to get more of a spring in their step.The Dell Axim X5, chosen for its large-sized, easy-to-read screen and good contrast, was fitted with a program that asked participants approximately three minutes’ worth of questions.
Among the questions: Where are you now? Who are you with? What barriers did you face in doing your physical activity routine? The device automatically beeped once in the afternoon and once in the evening; if participants ignored it the first time, it beeped three additional times at 30-minute intervals. During the second (evening) session, the device also asked participants about their goals for the next day.
With this program, participants could set goals, track their physical activity progress twice a day and get feedback on how well they were meeting their goals. After eight weeks, the researchers found that while participants assigned to the PDA group devoted approximately five hours each week to exercise, those in the control group spent only about two hours on physical activities—in other words, the PDA users were more than twice as active.
One surprise was the participants’ positive response to the program’s persistence. The PDA users liked the three additional “reminder” beeps that went off if they failed to respond to the first one. In fact, almost half of them wound up responding to the PDA only after being beeped for the fourth time.
So what’s next, after PDAs?
“Cell phones, for sure,” King said. “Especially now that we have the iPhone its big screen would be very useful for providing visual feedback.” She and her colleagues are also continuing to focus on developing portable devices capable of interacting with accelerometers (activity monitors), so that the necessary information—for example, the amount of walking in a day—automatically transmits to the device.
Apple fan boys beware, Professor King is setting her sights on your sexy iPhones. This looks like a way to burst open the geriatric market for Steve Jobs to conquer.

Infrared Helmet to Stave Off Alzheimer's
If you think you might lose your mind soon, consider trading in your tin-foil hat for an infrared beaming helmet that may help prevent the onset of Alzheimer's.
An experimental helmet which scientists say could reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease within weeks of being used is to be tried out on patients.The strange-looking headgear - which has to be worn for ten minutes every day - bathes the brain with infra-red light and stimulates the growth of brain cells.
Its creators believe it could reverse the symptoms of dementia - such as memory loss and anxiety - after only four weeks.
Alzheimer's disease charities last night described the treatment as "potentially life- changing" - but stressed that the research was still at the very early stages.
The helmet is the creation of Dr Gordon Dougal, a director of Virulite, a medical research company based in County Durham.
It follows a study at the University of Sunderland which found infra-red light can reverse memory loss in mice.
Dr Dougal claims that only ten minutes under the hat a day is enough to have an effect.
"Currently all you can do with dementia is to slow down the rate of decay - this new process will not only stop that rate of decay but partially reverse it," he said.
Low level infra-red red is thought to stimulate the growth of cells of all types of tissue and encourage their repair. It is able to penetrate the skin and even get through the skull.
"The implications of this research at Sunderland are enormous - so much so that in the future we could be able to affect and change the rate at which our bodies age," he said.

Gardener's Exoskeleton
Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology is actually developing an exoskeleton for aging gardeners.
The "farming robot suit," developed by a team of researchers led by Shigeki Toyama, a professor in the graduate school of the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, has been tested on farms. Researchers hope to have the technology in use in 2 years and develop it into a product and begin selling it in four years.The suit, which is secured with belts, consists of a resin framework with eight motors to assist the movements of the knees, elbows, lower back and shoulders, making farm work easier.
When pulling out a Japanese radish, for example, about 20 kilograms of instantaneous pressure is exerted on the knees and lower back, but when using the robot suit, only about half the force is used.
So what's the next technology on the horizon? In our humble opinion, full body shield for bonsai masters.

Home HealthPoint Telemetry from 4HomeMedia
4HomeMedia (4HM), a Sunnyvale, CA remote monitoring firm, has just introduced at the CES 2008 its new fee-based monthly service called Home HealthPoint. The company wants its telemetry services to be used by seniors and others requiring 24 hour monitoring, to allow folks to achieve a significant degree of independent living ("IL," as the company calls it). Erick Schonfeld from Techcrunch saw the technology in action, and was quite impressed with its performance.
From the company's description of Home HealthPoint:
By creating a passive monitoring network around a senior in their normal home setting, both family members and professional care-givers can log into a personalized Web page and get historical trend data, real-time status updates, and proactive alerts about the health and well-being for that monitored elder. The Portal Server delivers three unique and customized user-experiences based on the same data generated within the home -- for the senior in their house, for the family member caregiver remotely, and for a medical or nursing facility remotely...The recommended starter kit for the IL service includes the Home HealthPoint, three motion detectors, and an emergency pendant. The motion detectors are strategically placed around the home during the professional installation in the bedroom, at the entrance to the primary bathroom, and in the main trafficked area such as a foyer or living room. Additional sensor devices such as additional motion detectors, access contacts on the refrigerator or doors, a smart pillbox, or IP cameras can be utilized to supplement the monitoring data sets being produced within the home. Safety, comfort, and energy saving devices for the senior can be added such as a networked thermostat, safety lighting in or outside the home, appliance and lighting control accessories, gas leak detectors, air quality & fire detectors, or an IP-based intercom system. 4HM, a member of the Continua Alliance, is a strong advocate of open standards in medical devices and its ControlPoint™ in-home software is able to support a wide variety of medical diagnostic devices to further supplement the health and well-being information for the senior, including a digital weight scale, a blood-pressure cuff, a glucose meter, or a pulse oximeter, depending on the needs of that particular monitored senior. Lastly, to battle psychological duress and the frequent isolation of a senior living alone- a common difficulty among the elder population that has proven negative health repercussions--4HM has integrated into the solution set friends-and-family photo sharing, interactive health surveys, and health and wellness video education.

Digital Cameras for Dementia Patients
A simple time lapse camera from Microsoft, that is worn around the neck to record the day's activities of the wearer, is being investigated as a tool for people with memory problems.
SenseCam is worn around the neck and automatically takes a wide-angle, low-resolution photograph every 30 seconds. It contains an accelerometer to stabilize the image and reduce blurriness, and it can be configured to take pictures in response to changes in movement, temperature, or lighting. "Because it has a wide-angle lens, you don't have to point it at anything--it just happens to capture pretty much everything that the wearer can see," says Steve Hodges, the manager of the Sensor and Devices Group at Microsoft Research, U.K.An entire day's events can be captured digitally on a memory card and downloaded onto a PC for subsequent viewing. Using specially designed software, the Microsoft researchers can convert the pictures into a short movie that displays the images at up to 10 frames per second, allowing a day's events to be viewed in a few minutes.
SenseCam was originally developed as a memory aid for healthy people, but it is now in clinical testing for those with memory impairment, such as dementia. Narinder Kapur, head of the Neuropsychology Department at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, U.K., and leader of the eight-patient study, recently published an initial case report of one patient in the journal Neuropsychological Rehabilitation. Kapur and his colleagues found that Mrs. B could remember most nontrivial events after she had spent around one hour reviewing the SenseCam images with her husband every two days for a two-week period.

Make Your Daughter Your Big Brother
The Wall Street Journal has an article and a short video on how aging seniors are adapting to use home monitoring systems to ease their lives, help during emergencies, and provide families a remote way to assist their elderly.
Home-monitoring customers total a few thousand nationwide, according to half a dozen monitoring companies I surveyed. The most common systems use wireless motion or contact sensors on doorways, windows, walls, ceilings, cabinets, refrigerators, appliances or beds to track seniors' movements. Temperature sensors gauge heat and air conditioning. If an elderly person enters the bathroom and doesn't come out, or other typical activity patterns aren't recorded in the home, word can be sent to family members, 24-hour response workers or both. The systems also offer hand-held or wearable "panic buttons."

FDA OK's EverOn™ Monitor
EverOn™ heart and respiration monitor, featuring a distant (under the mattress) sensing unit, from Israel's EarlySense Ltd. has been granted FDA marketing approval, according to the Globes.
From the technology page over at EarlySense:
EarlySense™ empowers medical systems to bridge the critical time gap between sudden patient deterioration and clinician intervention. In light of the Joint Commission`s 2008 Patient Safety Goals for healthcare organizations, EarlySense technology is a timely and comprehensive solution for facilitating compliance with these requirements, while also enabling nurses to focus on the patients who need their immediate attention...The EarlySense technology is composed of a unique sensing unit (a single plate with multi-technology mechanical sensors) and a control unit that integrates signal intake and sampling, signal processing and display, and various alert outputs. Once placed beneath a bed mattress, or between the mattress and pad, the sensing unit immediately self-activates whenever the patient is in bed. The data that are continuously filtered, sampled and analyzed can be stored, and if desired can be presented later in for off-line clinician analysis.
Multiple levels of patented and patent-pending technology:
Contact - free sensing of multiple physiological parameters
Advanced algorithms for early detection of deterioration
Integration of contact-free sensing with existing monitoring modalities
Designed for any indoor environment (hospital, clinics and homes), the EarlySense system performance is equivalent in accuracy with current Gold Standard patient monitors. The sensor unit performs equally well in chairs and wheelchairs and is disposable to maintain a high standard of hygiene.
Potential applications which are currently in research include monitoring patients in general floors and/or acute care settings, evaluating changes in respiratory or heart rate patterns, detecting early-warning signs of asthma attacks, COPD and CHF deteriorations.In preliminary results recently published EarlySense has demonstrated specific detection of asthma exacerbations 1-2 nights before they take place.

The Blind Can See, The Deaf Can Hear...
Another conceptual design that can potentially become a product comes from Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands and Philips. Addressing the need of those with both poor hearing and vision, the system combines glasses, a directional microphone, and audio filtering software to create a product a good number of geriatric patients might one day find quite helpful.
Embedded over the length of each spectacle arm are four tiny microphones which transmit sounds from the front and simultaneously blocks background noise.This creates "directional sensitivity", so sounds coming from the direction of the wearer's gaze are amplified while those from ambient surroundings are dampened. This helps to make conversations clearer in noisy environments where standard hearing aids can often be thwarted by background din.
