Current clinical trials – what’s up

There was once a company that engineered a very good sensor . This sensor measured whether you were sitting up straight in your chair or slouching. If you slouched it sent a small vibration and reminded you. The market need that they targeted was that people needed to sit straight for their back and this…

Sensing chemicals or metabolites in human body is difficult and new technologies are requiredSeveral sensors exist for measuring specific compounds in body fluids in vitro and in vivo. The common ones to sense glucose and lactate use and enzyme that is coupled to some electronic moiety that then generates a signal. This signal is then…

There are many sensors that go into devices, such as temperature sensors, pressure sensors or even hemoglobin oxygenation sensors. Many of the sensors are made by engineers to be very precise and also very linear in their response. However, they are expensive and most hobbyist look for alternatives to the sensors. Sometimes, it is possible…

There have been several studies that show that innovative trial design is required and in August 2018, FDA launched a program that would encourage novel clinical trial designs. They have issued guidance on novel trial design such as an expansion cohort which seeks to expand the clinical trial by allowing various cohorts into early phases…
