If you heard a wheeze, could you recognize it? 😮💨 Maybe not. But perhaps you could if you had a stethoscope. Identifying the high-pitched whistling sound in a patient’s lungs using a stethoscope is still the top way doctors diagnose lung conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). But should it be? A pilot patient study from Georgia Tech is trying something different. The team is using a wearable patch powered by deep learning to explore an upgrade to the stethoscope.

One in five women struggle with infertility. The founder we’re featuring this week was one of them. Given her background in bioinformatics, she took matters into her own hands and dove into the research. Thus, the PherDal kit was born. As was, eventually, her daughter. Meet Dr. Jennifer Hintzsche, founder and CEO of PherDal Fertility Science, Inc., the startup behind the only FDA-cleared, sterile at-home insemination kit. In our interview with Jenn, we discussed her infertility journey, why the reproductive microbiome is the next frontier in medical research, and why the femtech space is set to explode. Check out the interview below, and make sure to follow Jennifer Hintzsche, PhD here on LinkedIn. ➡ https://lnkd.in/d2e3nu7W

At MedTech Pulse, we love when startups tackle cancer care. Especially when they do it from a less-conventional angle. Startup Luminate Medical aims to transform cancer care—but not through the traditional biotech drug discovery or detection paths. They’re here to make one of the worst parts of cancer treatment, chemotherapy, suck a little less. Luminate’s Lily helmet helps chemo patients prevent associated hair loss.

It might not be surprising to learn that clinicians across the U.K. are starting to use generative AI tools in their day-to-day work 👩⚕️🤖 But a not-insignificant portion of them are even using these tools to help them with differential diagnosis. These survey results providers are starting to trust generative AI more-and-more, indicating our industry must continue working to make medical LLMs more broadly accurate and applicable. ➡ https://lnkd.in/dii7PdE8

🦻 Your Apple AirPods Pro will soon double as over-the-counter hearing aids 🦻 Last month, Apple announced its wireless earbuds, AirPod Pro, will soon work as hearing aids for people with mild to moderate hearing loss. The Hearing Aid Feature (HAF) has now been cleared by the FDA, making it the first over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid software device. With this move, millions of AirPod users will suddenly have access to hearing aid technology. This is a big deal because of how many people with mild hearing loss don’t get help.

Preventive health can make a massive difference when it’s done early and often. This is the philosophy behind regular cholesterol and blood pressure screens starting from a young age. But why don’t we do that with bone health? Especially when we know bone loss starts in our 30s? If you ask Bone Health Technologies | Osteoboost CEO Laura Yecies, she’d point out that we haven’t had a solid intervention to offer people whose screenings were concerning. That is, until now. In our interview with Laura, we learned how BHT’s Osteoboost can be that early bone health intervention for eligible low bone density patients.
