As digital health gains momentum, the medical professional is bound to shift and evolve at a growth rate that is sure to outpace the previous years. Today, as the promise of digital health becomes even more highlighted, more and more patients expect the physicians to deliver better standards of care customized to their needs. Not only this, they expect the practices to meet their requirements in a manner suited to their personal schedules and lifestyles. In lieu of this digitization and changing patient expectations, there are five key trend…
Governments around the world are rapidly responding to the covid-19 pandemic, and social distancing is a vital aspect of strategy to limit the spread of the covid-19. As social distancing has to be followed diligently; health care providers are turning to alternative measures for patient care with no direct contact, including telemedicine and Virtual Medical Scribe Services. Necessitate for Virtual Medical Scribe and Speech Software’s Health care industries are mainly affected because of this covid-19. As the virus continues to spread, patients looking for medical help are…
As the nation deals with social distancing and staying indoors more as a result of the outbreak of Covid-19, concerns have been raised about the impact this could have on people’s mental health. James de Bathe, director of partnerships at Ieso Digital Health, explores how online mental health services could be a better way of reaching the UK population. According to Public Health England, one in six adults will have experienced a common…
Sometimes in our lifetimes we witness a rare convergence of market need and technology. The market need today is easily identified – the worldwide demand for new personal protection products and innovations that effectively lead to successful mitigation of…
The first outbreak of COVID-19 was detected in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, with an epidemiological link to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, where sale of live animals is conducted. After China's National Health Commission submitted reports, regarding the health condition of people and onset of the novel viral infection, to the World Health Or…

By Sharon Rindsland, Senior Manual Handling Co-ordinator, East Kent Hospitals Since 1975 worldwide obesity has nearly tripled. In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults were classed as being overweight, of these 650 million were obese. However, this doesn’t just apply to adults, over 340 million children and adolescents aged 5-19 were overweight or obese in 2016 . Unfortunately, complications related to obesity continue post-mortem. Nursing staff and mortuary technicians often face these complications when processing and transferring overweight patients. Issues such as loss of dignity for the patient, difficulty transferring patients resulting in musculoskeletal injuries (MSI) for staff, inc…
Catalysis Enzymes are a class of biological catalysts. They govern many catalytic processes such as metabolism, nutrition, and energy conversion of organisms. Most of the reactions closely related to life processes are enzyme-catalyzed reactions. These properties of the enzyme enable the intricate process of material metabolism in the cell to proceed in an orderly manner, and to adapt material metabolism to normal physiological functions. If an enzyme is defective due to genetic defects, or the enzyme activity is weakened by other reasons, it can caus…
In order to carry out various life activities, the organism must obtain energy and produce new substances needed for its growth. By ingesting nutrients, organisms produce energy through decomposition; or produce new substances through synthesis. In organisms, nutrition molecules participate in various decomposition and synthesis reactions, collectively known as metabolism. Any substance has more or less energy. When a substance changes through a chemical reaction, it will take a long time to complete under the condition of no external force. This long-term reaction is not enough to maintain life activity of the organism. Therefore, organisms have developed…
Enzymes are involved in the formation and composition of every cell in the body. Thus they also control the working of every organ and even the brain - the control center. They are involved in the breakdown, absorption, distribution and circulation of various nutrients entering the body. Overall, it would be sufficient to say that life would be non-existent without enzymes. How many of us have ever been concerned about our gut health and how enzymes affect the digestive process. It obviously is the last thing that one would care about after a whole busy day and the same regular stressing lifestyle. People will not…
Enzymes are molecules, especially proteins that help to accelerate biochemical reactions by interacting with components (reactants and products) without permanently changing them. This promotion process is called catalysis, and accordingly, the enzyme is recognized as a catalyst. Like many participants in the microbiology community, the names of enzymes can be lengthy and cumbersome, and almost all names end with "-ase". However, if you are familiar with the formal system of enzyme naming, you can unravel many mysteries about the function of a given enzyme without knowin…
Enzymes are vital to the human body. Without enzymes, cells in our body will not be able to carry out chemical reactions because the energy required is too grate. Enzymes reduce the activation energy response that needs to occur, thus allowing our body to perform a series of reactions at low temperatures. Enzymes are the proteins that are needed in our system. Without them, we will not be able to survive. The name of the enzyme depends on the action of the enzyme. Lipases break down fatty acids (lipids), and proteases break down proteins. Se…
Opioid and drug misuse has profound economic and health consequences on Americans, including a rise in certain infectious diseases throughout our nation. Drug misuse is linked to marked increases in acute hepatitis C infections, increases in acute hepatitis B infections in some states, and hepatitis A outbreaks in 30 states since 2016. Injection drug use has also been associated with local HIV outbreaks in multiple areas of the country. In 2017, approximately 9% of new HIV cases in the United States were linked to injection drug use, threatening prior progress made in reducing HIV. The data show that we cannot look at…
Global Edition Focus on Patient Experience Patients still facing big obstacles getting their own health data Despite HIPAA's right of access rule, and CMS and ONC prioritizing consumer access in their forthcoming 21st Century Cures regs, a new scorecard shows that providers have work to do. By Mike Miliard November 14, 2019 09:41 AM "Patients need their records, and it shouldn't be hard to get them," says Deven McGraw, chief regulatory officer at Ciitizen, a startup founded in 2017 that develops tools to help patien…
People get all the nutrients and energy they need through food. A reasonable diet and adequate nutrition can improve the health of a generation, prevent a variety of diseases, prolong life and improve the physical fitness of the entire nation. Unreasonable diet, excessive or insufficient nutrition will bring different degrees of harm to health. Overeating can lead to obesity, diabetes, cholelithiasis, hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure and other diseases due to overnutrition, and even induce mesothelioma, such…
Power to the patient: the value of longitudinal data Steve Bradley, Group Managing Director, Cegedim UK, outlines how data holds the key to better patient care. It’s no secret that the digitisation of healthcare services and smarter use of patient data can have a transformative impact on the NHS. In the past five years, re…

DR MARK RATNARAJAHManaging Director (UK), C2-Ai - providing unique risk-adjusted systems for individualised patient risk prediction, avoiding harm and mortality in hospitals. In August this year, the Prime Minister pledged £250m to boost artificial intelligence and genomic testing in the NHS citing, amongst others, the benefits of harnessing NHS data. The long-term vision is to help the NHS become a world leader in utilising innovation and technology.At the time, Health Secretary Matt Hancock commented; “We are on the cusp of a huge health tech revolution that co…
The growth and reproduction of life, birth and death, and metabolism are all related to enzymes. Without the catalysis of enzymes, humans can't even carry out the most basic life activities, such as food digestion, oxygen breathing, etc., let alone other problems. In fact, almost all kinds of reactions occurring in living organisms are carried out by enzyme catalysis. We can even say that the existe…
