An innovative privacy-first channel to bring Big Data to physicians
We all live in a digital world where are surrounded by a huge amount of health data: mobile applications, smartwatches and medical wearable devices record every day tons of information about our health, such as heart rate, blood pressure, sleep analysis, physical activity and much more. But these data are currently not accessible to physicians; […]
A data-driven and AI-based platform to empower physicians
Today medicine is manly focused on the disease but many are trying to shift the attention on the patient. Not surprisingly current medical practices promote to apply similar treatments to any type of patient, without considering the peculiar health characteristics that make unique each person. This mainly happens because drugs continue to be tested on […]
Stress: a biomarker of the patient’s quality of life
“What a stress!” How many times have we thought or said this sentence in our life? Stress is a reaction that occurs when a person perceives an imbalance between the solicitations received and the resources available; a real self-defense mechanism activated by our body to re-establish a new internal balance (homeostasis). There are many stress […]
iCareX: the start-up promoting the development of personalized AI-based medicine solutions
Before the birth of iCareX, we wondered how advanced medical practices applied today in hospitals around the world had been. We are first and foremost technology experts and, more often than not, we expect technology to travel hand in hand with science. What is the level of adoption of artificial intelligence by medical facilities? Are […]
Sleep analysis: a general wellness tracker to live better and prevent diseases
SLEEP AND ITS PHASES “A sleeping man holds in a circle around him the thread of the hours, the order of years and of worlds“, as Marcel Proust described – in his most important work [1] – the wonderful and fascinating sleep mechanisms. The Academic American Encyclopedia defines sleep a “normal, reversible, recurrent state of […]
Optimization of rheumatoid arthritis treatments plan through clinical and transcriptomic data exploration and iTwin’s artificial intelligence
With an incidence on the general population of about 1%, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common autoimmune disease. In Europe there are almost 3 million patients with RA, about 400 thousand only in Italy. Around 75% are women of any age, with a peak in the manifestation of symptoms for the 30 – 50 […]
KNOWING HOW MANY AND WHICH CELLS ARE PRESENT IN YOUR JOINT TISSUE CAN BE DETERMINING TO BETTER MANAGING YOUR RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which affects 1% of the world’s population, is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the synovial tissue. Events that occur within the synovial tissues of rheumatoid arthritis are responsible for the signs, symptoms and possible destruction of the joint structures that lead to dysfunction and motor disability. There is increasing […]
exploRA: a new state-of-the-art approach to manage your rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the joints causing articular stiffness, pain and swelling. It is a systemic autoimmune disease that attacks and destroys the synovial membrane, the bones and the tissues, deeply affecting both physical and mental quality of life. In fact, one year after diagnosis, patients with rheumatoid arthritis […]
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY OF THE SYNOVIA IN PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
Synovial tissue is a key structure in the joint and represents a primary target of multiple pathologies characterized by different pathogenic mechanisms including: infectious, neoplastic and chronic immuno-inflammatory pathologies. The synovium is the main target of inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Normal synovial tissue contains specialized fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) interspersed with macrophages (2). In RA […]
