AI and the Evolving Nature of Drug Discovery

In turning molecules into medicines, most studies report success 1 out of 10 tries. Yet rapid discovery and development of safe, effective drugs is crucial to moving the needle in healthcare. With unlimited chemical combinations, discovering new candidate medicines is a lengthy, intricate process. Post discovery, drug development is also slow. Undoubtedly, medications require careful progression from bench to bedside to prevent oversight and harm in the ultimate consumers. But with the goal of breakthrough treatments for all conditions, trending HIT applications just might get equally safe medication to the hands of patients sooner.

Using 6 Clicks to Improve Mobility

At the hospital, patients often think they will stay in bed, rest and heal. However, after all that rest, strength and mobility can decrease and patients often aren’t as ready to go home as they thought. Five years ago, when therapy leaders at Cleveland Clinic had the chance to collect basic patient data, they felt a functional measure would be most impactful to their work. But there was nothing appropriate on the market, so they created it themselves. They worked with Boston University to produce inpatient short forms for the Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care or AM-PAC. AM-PAC, and the 6 Clicks training materials, are an example of how our Adeo platform can help reduce barriers to bring products to market.

Top 10 Update: 3D Printing

Like many scientific innovations, 3D printing technology is ever growing. Just in the past few years, 3D printing technology has moved out of the engineering lab, and into the hands of healthcare providers. One of its newer applications, has been successfully used to create an exact replica of a patient's anatomy, allowing for a significant number of preoperative benefits. Such benefits are evident in the story of a 3D printed brain aneurysm replica that helped guide a complex surgical repair.
