#Diabetes and cardiovascular diseases

[oidracremedies]

The healthcare landscape in Telangana, much like the rest of India, is rapidly evolving, driven by a surge in chronic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. These health concerns have become increasingly common, leading to a higher demand for specialized medicines. As a result, the Cardiac Diabetic PCD in Telangana business model offers a lucrative opportunity for entrepreneurs and healthcare professionals to enter the pharmaceutical sector. By partnering with established pharmaceutical companies, you can distribute high-demand medications and contribute significantly to healthcare in the state.

PCD (Propaganda Cum Distribution) is an effective business model where pharmaceutical companies allow franchise partners to market and distribute their products. In the specific niche of cardiac and diabetic care, the PCD model is particularly valuable due to the increasing prevalence of these health conditions across Telangana. Franchisees benefit from the strong brand and product support of the parent company while operating independently in their assigned territory.

just curious.... do you know of a general/unspecified chronic illness flag?

Nope so I've made some using those chronic fatigue flags.

Chronic Illness Pride Flag

[IMAGE ID: a flag with six horizontal stripes. The fisrt and last stripes are smaller. Their colors are, from top to bottom, dark bluish green, light salmon pink, soft white, bluish green, light bluish green and dark bluish green. END ID.]

[IMAGE ID: a flag with a dark bluish green background. Lines, like brushstrokes, which go from top to bottom and from bottom to top, partially cross the flag. The line colors are light salmon pink, soft white, bluish green and light bluish green. END ID]

I choose to make the flags main's colour bluish green because light blue is often used to represent chronic illnesses and because green is often used on chronic fatigue/pain flags.

Meanings of flag:

dark bluish green: fighting against ableism

light salmon pink: community and solidarity

soft white: remissions and relapses

bluish green: chronic fatigue and brain fog

light bluish green: all the types of chronic illnesses

*my requests aren't curently opened, I just really wanted to make some flags for chronic illnesses.

Like 10,000 to 20,000 people died of the flu every year before covid?

Sure, that’s not a lot compared to the 100,000+ we expect to die of covid this winter, but also still not great.

we eliminated an entire strain of flu by masking in 2020. It’s just gone.

imagine if we invested in clean air and just generally masked in higher risk settings.

weirdest side effect of the pandemic is how many people i know who get sick and say 'but my covid tests are negative so i should be fine' like you know other illnesses. exist. right.

AI in Healthcare Should Think Small

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/ai-in-healthcare-should-think-small/

AI in Healthcare Should Think Small

Six minutes into Apollo 13’s mission to the moon In 1970, its oxygen tank exploded. The event prompted NASA to develop a new approach to predicting possible failures in its spacecraft. The approach relied on continuous sensor data, which then fed deep digital simulations, enabling much more rigorous testing of complex spacefaring systems. It was the very first use of “digital twin” technology.

Today, digital twin systems are used across industries to improve operations and accurately simulate any change in a system. Tech companies like Apple and Tesla use digital twins to monitor product performance in the field and determine whether or not specific system components require maintenance.

Digital twins have also been used in healthcare, albeit largely in drug research and development. Its greatest potential, however, is in chronic disease management. By coupling machine learning and Internet of Things technology with digital twin AI, an approach that originated with something as vast as space exploration has the potential to make healthcare truly individualized.

Digitizing traditional care has failed

Modern medicine has made incremental moves toward personalized care over the past decade by giving patients a voice in decision-making, and toward precision medicine through advances in genomic research. Both have helped tailor care to the individual, but for the most part, our healthcare system takes a “large group” approach to care delivery.

It’s evident in the way we manage chronic disease. Every one of the 133 million Americans currently living with one or more chronic diseases is set upon a planned care pathway – a treatment regimen, a fad diet, often a number of medications – and their improvement is measured in batches of thousands of other individuals who share their condition.

This approach hasn’t worked. Notoriously, U.S. spending on diabetes, heart disease, and cancer continues to rise, and technology’s impact on outcomes and costs has been limited. In digital management of diabetes, weight loss, and other conditions, that impact has been a non-factor.

In March, a report published by Peterson Health Technology Institute underlined this lack of sustained results. The report found that all of the evaluated solutions perform poorly on engagement and outcomes over time. As a result, weight loss, A1C reduction, medication elimination, diabetes reversal, and the health, well-being, and economic benefits of these solutions are both limited and unsustainable.

That’s because most solutions just digitize an ineffective template for care. They don’t account for individual differences. Every person brings their own set of cultural, biological, dietary, behavioral, and environmental factors that influence their health at a deeply individual level.

Moving from ‘personalized’ care to individualized care

Digital twin AI promises a departure from the template. Core to the technology is the concept that every individual is an N of one. An individual’s digital twin is informed by a continuous measure of their unique clinical and behavioral variables, and uses that data to shape care guidance toward the best and healthiest version of that individual.

The power of digital twin technology is in its attention to the small things – the things we eat and do – and how they impact our current and future selves. In practice, digital twins can accurately predict the effect a steak dinner will have on a specific person’s metabolic or cardiovascular health. To the extent that impact may be negative, digital twins can offer ways to mitigate the repercussions. It might suggest a 10-minute walk or an alternative dessert. Instead of ice cream, maybe it’s banana nut bread with Greek yogurt and fresh berries or simply a different sequence.

In this way, digital twin AI can show an individual what’s in store for them if they stay on their current trajectory and the big changes that can occur by making small adjustments over time. Keep up your current routine, and you’ll be able to stop taking metformin in three weeks. Fall back into old habits, and you can expect to pick up a refill.

It’s potent technology, and while its impact on healthcare has largely been recognized only in academia, it is beginning to find its role in commercial use cases. In 2014, Dassault Systemes and the FDA launched SIMULIA Living Heart, a project that works with device manufacturers to develop and refine cardiac devices at a faster pace. At the onset of the pandemic, OnScale’s Project BreathEasy developed a digital twin of the lungs of COVID-19 patients to improve and optimize the use of ventilator resources.

Medical researchers are also using digital twin disease models to predict the effectiveness of pharmaceutical interventions based on complex, extremely individual biological processes. Takeda Pharmaceuticals has embraced the technology to shorten pharmaceutical processes and make realistic input-output predictions for biochemical reactions. More recently, researchers used digital twin technology to simulate therapy outcomes and determine the best treatment for oropharyngeal carcinoma based on the individual.

Chronic disease management is the next frontier

A recent paper published in Nature asserts that digital twins are “poised to make substantial contributions” to cancer care, especially in monitoring the progression of the disease and evaluating treatment responses, which infamously vary individual by individual. The same paper analyzes cardiac digital twins fed by imaging, EHR, genetic, and continuous wearable data, and their potential to predict acute cardiac events.

These advancements will give way to life-changing healthcare technologies. Their power lies in a concept core to their purpose: nothing complex is static.

This is especially true of our biological systems. A digital twin requires thousands of data points per day, per individual, to truly understand the interplay between an individual’s biology, culture, lifestyle, preferences, and health. Some of this data is already being captured by wearables and mobile apps, but without a model that puts that data into the context of the individual and their care journey, it is rudderless.

In the world of chronic disease management, the small things can very quickly become big, life-threatening things. And while digital health has raised the hopes of patients with language like “personalization,” the tools and approaches that have been offered to people have not addressed their unique needs and preferences.

Digital twin AI will turn this approach on its head by helping us better understand and improve our health on a deeply personalized level. It’s a technology poised to fulfill the promise of individualized care.
