HyperSpectral secures $8.5M Series A to pioneer food safety & MedTech with AI-driven spectral tech. Follow their journey @HyperSpectral.

What's new?! Introducing enhanced versions of Smart•Therm and DuraTherm induction chargers from Dinex healthcare equipment. These newer, compact models offer the same powerful performance in a more space-efficient design. Enhancements include optimized airflow for improved circulation, along with increased impact and heat resistance. Thanks to extensive reengineering, these chargers now redefine the benchmark for performance and reliability in healthcare foodservice. #CFSBrands #Dinex #RedstoneGroup #HealthcareFoodservice

Sustainability cannot be an afterthought in any meaningfully designed product, nor should it compromise the efficacy or accessibility of a healthcare device. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) device users highlight the life-changing advancements this technology has unlocked. Users will often also lament the increased volume of waste - including sharps and electronic materials - which they now must deal with as a result of CGM use. There is also a hidden burden of life cycle carbon emissions that arise from the manufacture, use, and disposal of these products. Which cannot be ignored. With the CGM market estimated to grow from $8.2 billion in 2024, to $13.5bn by 2030, and similar connected healthcare devices rolling out at pace. Now is the time to implement design strategies to reduce the burden on the user and the planet. In this study we looked at CGM devices available on the market through the lens of sustainability and user experience, these are the first steps of our process of creating meaningful change based on data-driven insights.

Healthcare contributes to 4.4 percent of global carbon emissions – if it were a country, it would be the fifth largest emitter on the planet. This alone points to the need for more sustainable design. As purchasing behaviors shift and new regulations loom on the horizon, healthcare companies and device manufacturers are under pressure to deliver safe, sustainable solutions. Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) are a popular home health solution that show how DfS can deliver better health outcomes, better usability, and better sustainability. Our team of researchers, mechanical and electronic engineers, designers, sustainability specialists, medtech experts, and healthcare experts analyzed six leading CGMs to understand how Design for Sustainability can be used to create more sustainable products and services in connected healthcare. In this report, we illuminate the best approaches to developing sustainable medtech and home healthcare products and services so we can do better, together. 

Happy Mardi Gras - or Fasching, as we call it in Austria! If you are wondering: Our Bloom Tests did not dress up but actually got a makeover. Is this a sneaky way to mention our new packaging? Maybe. That being said, we got rid of the NFC tag and reduced the material used - finally, less waste! I hope I can share more information soon-ish 😉 Bloom Diagnostics  #medtech  #healthtech #diagnostics

Please join me for the 2023 Combination Products Summit, hosted by the AFDO/RAPS Healthcare Products Collaborative. We’ll be in Forth Worth, Texas from November 28-30, 2023. Interact and engage with regulators, industry experts, and manufacturers in some of the most critical discussions about combination products. We are looking forward to your participation as we build the future of combination products in healthcare! timothy w hsu

How do you design and develop innovative products and services that are more sustainable? To shed light on the Design for Sustainability process, we've just released a study that breaks down the steps in our approach, offering practical insights along the way. While applicable across industries, we've chosen to focus on MedTech as it's a category rife with regulations and restrictions to overcome (we love a challenge!) "First, do no harm" is the central principle of medical services, but the sector itself poses a considerable environmental burden. For instance, devices like Continuous Glucose Monitors, offer life-changing benefits but also contribute to significant waste and carbon emissions. Navigating this landscape can be daunting—where do we begin, what strategies should we adopt, and what does measurable success look like? I hope you can benefit from it.
