Our team is back from the IDSA (Industrial Designers Society of America) Medical Design Conference "The Usability Ecosystem," and Cleveland Clinic's Medical Innovation Summit. After an intensive dive into the latest thinking and trends in healthcare, we returned with fresh ideas about what is affecting change, what needs attention and how other leaders in the space are moving healthcare forward.
We would like to share some of our learnings with you in this report. If you'd like to connect with us on this topic or others, please email us.

The traditional approach to tackling infectious diseases of poverty has been a disease-centered one, but now, to benefit effectively from the innovative products and use the tools needed to beat such diseases, the approach must be people-centered.

Your healthcare company's mission can't be about you. It has to be about who you're serving.

In 2013, the NFL began a program that incorporated sensors in players' helmets to collect data on the quantity and severity of hits. It has since been suspended.
Canadian company Impakt Protective Inc. relies on sensors attached to the helmet to send real-time data to a mobile phone on forces applied to the helmet.
In 2014, a new material called Architected Lattice was developed by the UCLA Architectural Materials group to replace the foam currently found in helmets.
The FITGuard™ mouthpiece, available for pre-order, indicates when the force with which a player has been hit has a high probability of head injury.
"Researchers in Europe have been able to show that if a patient's S100B levels are within the normal range, the CT scan will also be normal. So the blood test may eliminate the need for a CT scan in certain cases in patients with normal S100B levels," Dr. Janigro says.
