Most current clinical trials in the US are tracked through clinicaltrials.gov website. If we look at the top 10,000 titles and do an analysis of the most commonly used words that are utilized in the titles then you get an interesting perspective on what are the studies that are being done currently.
Note that many trials seem to target cancer and most of them look for safety and efficacy

Innovative clinical trial design
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…
Digital Health Knowledge series. Accelerometer features: What is important?
Range: First, since the accelerometer measures acceleration, it is important that the range of the accelerometer should be well within the range of the activity that we need to measure. What is the range of human acceleration? As the last article pointed out, the fastest runner in the world can generate nearly 1g whereas a…
Heart rate variability
By definition, heart rate variability is the time between each heart beat. This is called the R-R interval and shows the beat modulation of the sino-atrial node whose time variation is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. This matters because sympathetic (fight or flight) or parasympathetic (rest and digest) activity governs cardiac dynamics. A higher…

Sensors Devices those are beautiful even if not very useful
Lapka is an interesting company. In this dangerous world it thinks we need sensors that measure things. These sensors measure radioactivity (Geiger counter), electromagnetic fields, humidity and organic content of food. These devices are not new. Many companies make them but they do it very elegantly. Their devices look good and hopefully are as functional…
