PROTXX Collaborating with Canadian Researchers to Study Peripheral Neuropathies

MENLO PARK, CA, UNITED STATES, July 5: Menlo Park, California based PROTXX is collaborating with Canadian researchers at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta and the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Manitoba to improve the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of peripheral neuropathies that can arise from many different underlying medical conditions and can lead to serious functional limitations and significant long-term healthcare costs. Misdiagnoses of neuropathies are common due to similarities in patient-reported symptoms and pathologies. Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) are examples of two widely prevalent medical conditions that often present similarly, so the ability to classify these impairments non-invasively and with high specificity at a low cost would be beneficial. The PROTXX physiological vibration acceleration (“phybrata”) sensor delivers an innovative solution to the above problem by enabling much easier to use, lower cost, in-clinic and remote detection of unique physiological impairment and sensory reweighting signatures and biomarkers that can be used to classify various pathologies. This classification has not previously been examined in differing neuropathies, and the aim of the present pilot study is to investigate the application of phybrata sensing to differentially classify LSS from DPN and controls. Initial results were presented at the 2022 Annual Meeting of the International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine (ISSLS) in Boston, entitled “Wearable Sensor Assessment of Neuropathic Physiological Impairments and Sensory Reweighting Caused by Lumbar Spinal Stenosis and Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: an Observational Pilot Study”. Data from the pilot study demonstrate that unique phybrata signatures detected from patients with DPN and LSS using the PROTXX sensor may enable classification of different patient pathologies without the need for more costly and time-consuming diagnostic tests. Phybrata signals may also be used as a quantitative tool to track patient responses to treatment and rehabilitation based on each patient’s unique phybrata signature. Data collection has also begun at a second site at the University of Manitoba, and the study team plans to expand the study cohort to include patients with peripheral neuropathy resulting from peripheral arterial disease. Jared Fletcher, the lead author on the study, commented “Collaborating with PROTXX has enabled our research team at MRU to demonstrate a significant new clinical application of wearable device technology. Disabilities caused by peripheral neuropathies affect millions of Canadians. The availability of an easy-to-use wearable device that can non-invasively classify impairments at a much lower cost than currently available clinical tools has the potential to transform treatment practices, improve patient outcomes, and significantly reduce healthcare costs.” John Ralston, PROTXX CEO added “Results to date from our Canadian collaborations have been instrumental in validating applications of phybrata neurophysiological sensor technology to a growing range of medical conditions caused by aging, injuries, and disease. In addition to improving the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral neuropathies caused by type 2 diabetes, spinal stenosis, and peripheral arterial disease, applications of the phybrata sensor now span neuromotor and neurosensory impairments resulting from concussions, age-related balance decline, multiple sclerosis, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, vestibular schwannoma, and chronic pain caused by orthopedic and spinal cord damage.” About PROTXX (https://protxx.com/) PROTXX innovations in wearable medical devices transform the lives of tens of millions of people with complex neurophysiological medical conditions that can result from injuries, disease, and aging. With offices in Menlo Park, California and Calgary, Alberta, the company is led by an accomplished team of IoT device and data platform engineers, clinical neurology researchers and practitioners, and digital healthcare business professionals, and is supported by a well-established network of R&D, manufacturing, clinical pilot, and business development partners in Canada, the U.S., the U.K., and Europe.

NY-based Medical Marketing Firm Explains Why Doctors Need To Be Digitally Savvy

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, USA, July 5: The modern citizen is an ardent consumer of the digital internet. A Weber Shandwick study found that about 73% of Americans now find healthcare-related information online, which is only expected to increase with time. Whether researching symptoms or seeking recommendations for a physician, the users rely on the internet for several healthcare-related decisions. This makes it almost inevitable for doctors and medical practitioners who run their independent practice to position themselves in the digital sphere. Million Dental, a firm that provides targeted marketing services to doctors, highlights how many of its clients have been able to grow their practice as they took the digital route. Medical professionals across specialties who earlier built their clientele via word of mouth and community referrals were now booking appointments with the help of a website. “The patients like to weigh their options, check reviews, and know more about their condition - and all of that is done online these days.” said a spokesperson from Million Dental. With the advent of the information revolution, doctor-patient interactions have also been digitized. Primarily, during the pandemic, the healthcare delivery process was propelled by telemedicine and virtual doctor consults. Furthermore, many doctors enjoy interacting with their audience on social media channels which strengthens their connection with their patients. It is evident that clinicians with an independent medical practice are reaping the fruits of an online presence. The firm also suggests some ways by which any modern doctor can do so. Set up an online page - a lucid website can help patients quickly understand the services provided by the doctor and even book digital appointments. Get listed online - being listed on Google My Business and similar local listings help patients easily discover doctors. Build a social presence - Tweeting and posting on Facebook or LinkedIn builds social credo for doctors, improving their digital reputation. Million Dental provides services for all the aforementioned activities alongside provisions for SEO, email marketing, and ORM, that are valuable for practitioners looking to grow their practice. The NY-based firm offers targeted marketing for each specialty such as Family Medicine, OBGYN, Orthodontics, and more, enabling doctors to expand beyond their local circle while building trust among their communities. Interested doctors can visit Million Dental’s website for more information. www.milliondental.com/ About Million Dental Million Dental is a medical marketing company that offers digital avenues of marketing for medical practitioners.
