White Paper: Particle Works
The development of nanoparticles (NPs) as drug carriers for specific action sites has gained significant attention in recent times. However, the synthesis of NPs for drug delivery is complex and challenging, and therefore requires consistent, low-cost, and efficient materials. Particle Works offers NP synthesis solutions that are underpinned by microfluidics and automation, enabling researchers to accelerate their nanomedicine development. The Automated Nanoparticle (ANP) System provides both automated process optimization and continuous manufacturing capabilities on a single platform. This system allows scientists to automatically optimize process parameters and generate test samples. Particle Works offers the ALiS System for screening low volumes of various formulations in a 96-well plate format, while the ANP System is used to optimize the size, shape and structure of NPs ahead of final production and commercialization. The ANP System can be used initially in ’protocol mode’, where the system can sequentially execute a table of automated and low volume experiments from a fixed pair of injected reagents. Using the Flow Control Centre (FCC) software, users can optimize the flow rate ratio (FRR), total flow rate (TFR), NP precursor volume, sample collection volume, and select optional in-line dilution. Once a desired set of experimental conditions has been identified, the user can then switch to ‘continuous mode’ to create liters of NPs for pre-clinical trials and extensive characterization. Unique in this dual capability, the ANP System bridges the gap between formulation screening and commercial scale manufacturing in a single system solution.

Given that it can take up to 12 years and cost £400 mn to £1.15 bn¹ to bring a new drug to market, it is understandable that organizations are capitalizing on the benefits of new technologies to try to reduce uncertainty, costs, and time to market. For many leading companies, digital applications are informing direction and becoming an essential enabler in realizing their vision. So why are digital applications transforming the value and access functions? We believe that there are three key benefits for market access. Facilitating proactive planning and agility While companies may already have a market access planning process, digital applications can facilitate a proactive approach by providing a structured checklist of activities and identifying vital gaps mapped against the latest HTA requirements. In addition, tasks can be assigned, alerts raised when items have not been addressed, and progress or completed tasks tracked. This provides confidence that a market access plan can be formulated early, is always current, and can adapted whenever there is a business need to change direction. Improving real-time decision-making and accelerating cross-functional productivity Digital applications and cloud technology can provide a consistent framework for real-time decision-making across the multifunctional groups that feed into market access planning and implementation. From as early as Phase 1 development, market access issues can be captured, the risks and benefits of considerations such as parallel consultation defined, and the requirements for HTA submissions considered. Capturing data in a centralized system provides an institutional memory of decision-making and allows more rapid and efficient cross-functional working.
Enhancing Trust with AI-Driven Biometrics
White Paper: Jumio
Biometrics and AI Build the Strongest ID Verification Tech Biometrics are commonplace. They protect our phones, log us into our virtual workspaces, secure our health records and verify our identity when we sign up for new services. Face, fingerprint, iris, voice and other modalities proliferate across our physical and digital lives, facilitating access, managing identity and keeping us safe from fraud. But it is crucial to understand that not all biometric technology is created equal. The fact is, there are smart biometrics and basic ones. Functionally, allbtrue biometrics, regardless of the modality, do what the name implies: measure unique physical or behavioral traits and compare them. Some consumer-grade biometric solutions keep it simple, measuring and comparing and matching the same way every time. On the other hand, smart biometrics, which are enhanced by artificial intelligence and machine learning, adapt with every use, getting stronger, faster and more scalable. The latter type is a foundational aspect of a broader trend that FindBiometrics calls “Intelligent ID” – a key technology for the future of our increasingly digital and mobile lives. Artificial intelligence is a heavy term in our culture, and it brings with it a great deal of baggage in the form of common misconceptions. When it comes to intelligent biometric identity, these misconceptions pool around face biometrics, identity proofing and continuous authentication, which taken together are the basic components of a trust chain. Fears about user privacy, distrust stemming from racial bias reports in surveillance systems, and the expectation that identity proofing must rely on a human element in the onboarding process are all common false precepts clouding the understanding of smart biometrics in ID verification and user authentication.
apm5283 Nordic RF Low Energy 3D Module Ideal for very small form factor Medical applications
White Paper: Apm Communications
3D Stacked Technology Patented by apm Communication Inc. In the chip package structure for the prior art, the electronic components are mounted on the substrate. When a large number of electronic components are required to be mounted, a large mounting area is required, and therefore a large-area substrate is also required. Moreover, the area of the overall chip group structure is increased, which is disadvantageous for space utilization, and the overall manufacturing cost is also increased. Most of today's electronic products are required to be smaller and smaller, so the overall size of the circuit board must be reduced for weight, thickness and formfactor. In order to miniaturize the substrate size, an electronic chip module with a double-sided mounting component is achieved with the latest invention, comprising of: a carrier plate for mounting at least one first component above the carrier plate; on the substrate; at least one mounting slot having a recess under the carrier, the bottom surface of at least one slot for mounting at least one second component; wherein the mounting slot is on the bottom surface on the carrier. The opening is outward, wherein the bottom surface for at least one second component mounted in the mounting slot faces the outside of the carrier to form a non-buried structure. The carrier is a multi-layer carrier. A connecting member is disposed under the carrier plate without forming a mounting slot, and the carrier is fixed to the substrate via the connecting member. Wherein the mounting slot has at least one layer on the bottom of the multilayer carrier is hollowed out to form a recessed slot. At least one mounting slot is a plurality of mounting slots for mounting at least one second component. The upper surface of the carrier further includes at least one positioning slot, wherein the at least one first component is mounted in the positioning slot above the carrier board; wherein the positioning slot is a bottom surface on the carrier board. The opening is outwardly open, wherein a bottom surface of the at least one first component mounted in the positioning slot faces the outside of the carrier to form a non-buried structure. A package structure encapsulates the carrier board and the component with packaging material; the connector extends beyond the package structure such that the package structure can be mounted to the substrate or to other components. A plurality of blind via holes are formed on the carrier board for guiding the wires. The connecting member is a copper post, a solder ball, or a solder pad. The contacts of the first component and the second component are connected to the conductor assembly and extend through the blind via to the underside of the carrier to form a conductive path for signal or electrical transmission, and then connected to the substrate.
Winning Across the Continuum: Partnering for Population Health in a Time of Shifting Reimbursements
White Paper: Athena Health
At varying paces nationally, payment models are shifting from fee-for-service to fee-for-value, including new models in which leading provider organizations take on the financial risk of providing health care to a pre-defined population. While many agree that value-based reimbursement will become increasingly common, fee-for-service contracts remain the dominant form of reimbursement in most markets. A recent poll found that 81 percent of health systems and hospitals are participating in a mix of value-based reimbursement models combined with fee-for-service.1 For the foreseeable future, hospitals, health systems and other large provider organizations will have a foot in two boats and the engines in both must be able to run efficiently.
White Paper: Athena Health
The pressure exerted on practices to grow, often through integration with additional practices or with larger health care systems, has been strong for years, and the trend shows no signs of abating. There are multiple reasons for this trend. One is the desire for critical mass to gain leverage with payers in specific markets as payer reimbursement declines relative to increased cost. Another is the shift to quality-based reimbursement, risk contracts, and Accountable Care models—all of which require actuarial data and expertise in pricing insurance along with the infrastructure to handle population management.
