An executive order from the Trump administration has reintroduced the “most favored nation” (MFN) policy, which aims to cut drug costs by aligning U.S. prices with those of other countries. The mandate lacks specifics on execution and enforcement, injecting even more uncertainty into the pharmaceutical market. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has 30 days to define how the policy will work in practice. At first, compliance by pharma manufacturers will be voluntary, but…
In today’s rapidly evolving clinical research landscape, one of the most critical—and often overlooked—threats to trial success is the enrollment of duplicate subjects and professional research participants. These individuals, who often enroll in multiple trials simultaneously or serially without appropriate washout periods, can significantly compromise data integrity, subject safety, and the overall success of a clinical study. For more than a decade, Verified Clinical Trials (VCT) has led the industry in both detecting and preventing duplicate subjects and professional research participants through its comprehensive Research Subject Database Registry. Used in over 4…

Introduction: Streamlining Surgery Through Smart Packaging In the fast-paced environment of modern healthcare, every second counts—especially in the operating room. Hospitals and surgical centers around the world are increasingly relying on Custom Procedure Packs (CPPs) to ensure surgical efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness. These pre-assembled kits, tailored to specific procedures, contain all the necessary surgical instruments, consumables, and disposables needed for an operation—delivered in one convenient, sterile package. The Global Custom Procedure Packs Market size was valued at USD 11.8 Billion in 2021 an…
For centuries, scientific publishing has followed the same basic structure. Researchers submit papers to journals, wait months or even years for peer review and face expensive paywalls to share or read findings. Today, a growing movement known as decentralised science, or DeSci, is challenging this outdated model. Philipp Koellinger, CEO a…
Artificial Intelligence in Diagnostics: Trends and Industry Outlook (2025) AI technologies are transforming medical diagnostic methods by advancing precision medicine and enabling early detection through data-driven decision-making.
