When staff spend valuable minutes searching for infusion pumps, wheelchairs and ventilators, patient care suffers and operational costs climb. These inefficiencies create cascading problems that affect clinical outcomes and facility budgets. Asset tracking and management systems solve these challenges by providing real-time visibility and data-driven workflows that fundamentally improve hospital operations. https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/healthcare/articles/2026/09/02/464096-mochi-health-believes-this-what-good-patient-support.htm https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/healthcare/articles/2026/09/02/464096-mochi-health-believes-this-what-good-patient-support.htm Wed, 02 Sep 2026 13:18:33 GMT Ask most people what "patient support" means in telehealth and they'll describe a chatbot, a ticket number, and an email a few days later that may or may not resolve anything. https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/healthcare/articles/2026/08/26/464069-dr-joel-ross-what-new-alzheimers-drugs-mean.htm https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/healthcare/articles/2026/08/26/464069-dr-joel-ross-what-new-alzheimers-drugs-mean.htm Wed, 26 Aug 2026 12:44:33 GMT Dr. Joel Ross, the New Jersey geriatrician and clinical researcher behind trials of earlier Alzheimer's therapies, on what anti-amyloid drugs actually change in everyday care. https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/news/articles/464038-5-sobriety-apps-changing-way-people-approach-recovery.htm https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/news/articles/464038-5-sobriety-apps-changing-way-people-approach-recovery.htm Wed, 19 Aug 2026 14:09:20 GMT For a long time the extent of sobriety tech was a simple counter that told you how many days you'd gone without a drink. That's changed. A new wave of recovery apps now blends habit tracking, peer community, virtual meetings and behavioral insights into tools that people can lean on every day, not just on hard days. https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/news/articles/464036-jaime-caballero-md-laao-a-stroke-prevention-strategy.htm https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/news/articles/464036-jaime-caballero-md-laao-a-stroke-prevention-strategy.htm Wed, 19 Aug 2026 13:52:35 GMT Atrial fibrillation raises the lifetime risk of stroke roughly fivefold, and for decades, physicians have relied on anticoagulants to lower that risk. Warfarin eventually gave way to direct oral anticoagulants, which offer simpler dosing and an improved safety profile for many patients. But anticoagulation still comes with a trade-off: reducing the risk of a clot can also increase the risk of bleeding. https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/news/articles/464035-konstantinos-marmagkiolis-md-teer-clinical-practice-advancements-treating.htm https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/news/articles/464035-konstantinos-marmagkiolis-md-teer-clinical-practice-advancements-treating.htm Wed, 19 Aug 2026 13:45:28 GMT Mitral regurgitation is one of the most common heart valve conditions worldwide. For much of modern medicine, patients with severe mitral regurgitation had relatively few treatment options. If the valve leaked badly enough to weaken the heart or leave someone short of breath during everyday activities, surgery was often the only way to repair or replace it. https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/healthcare/articles/2026/08/03/463980-hidden-cost-mri-downtime-why-preventive-maintenance-a.htm https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/healthcare/articles/2026/08/03/463980-hidden-cost-mri-downtime-why-preventive-maintenance-a.htm Mon, 03 Aug 2026 12:03:28 GMT Demand for medical imaging keeps climbing, with projected U.S. imaging utilization rising between 16.9% and 26.9% by 2055. With this trend comes the pressure on each scanner to perform consistently. https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/healthcare/articles/2026/08/03/463975-restoring-form-function-gianmarino-gianfrate-contemporary-chest-wall.htm https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/healthcare/articles/2026/08/03/463975-restoring-form-function-gianmarino-gianfrate-contemporary-chest-wall.htm Mon, 03 Aug 2026 11:12:36 GMT Most people never think about the chest wall until something goes wrong with it. It shields the heart and lungs, supports the mechanics of every breath, and gives the upper body much of its shape and strength. When injury, disease, or a previous operation damages this structure, restoring it involves far more than closing a defect. https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/healthcare/articles/2026/07/28/463954-how-find-an-mdr-certification-provider-your-medical.htm https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/healthcare/articles/2026/07/28/463954-how-find-an-mdr-certification-provider-your-medical.htm Tue, 28 Jul 2026 12:18:48 GMT For medical device manufacturers targeting the European Union market, compliance with the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) is essential, and many devices require formal conformity assessment before market entry. https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/healthcare/articles/2026/07/15/463903-mochi-health-expands-glucose-monitoring-through-independent-pharmacy.htm https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/healthcare/articles/2026/07/15/463903-mochi-health-expands-glucose-monitoring-through-independent-pharmacy.htm Wed, 15 Jul 2026 14:52:55 GMT Myra Ahmad keeps returning to a quiet failure in how patients are looked after. The information that should guide their care is scattered where no one can use it. https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/healthcare/articles/2026/07/15/463902-dr-michael-piepkorn-the-rise-melanocytoma-a-new.htm https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/healthcare/articles/2026/07/15/463902-dr-michael-piepkorn-the-rise-melanocytoma-a-new.htm Wed, 15 Jul 2026 14:50:06 GMT The classification of melanocytic lesions has long relied on three established categories: melanoma, dysplastic nevus, and common nevus. However, there is increasing evidence suggesting that a subset of tumors does not clearly fall within these definitions. https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/healthcare/articles/2026/07/14/463894-why-sleep-quality-matters-more-than-sleep-quantity.htm https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/healthcare/articles/2026/07/14/463894-why-sleep-quality-matters-more-than-sleep-quantity.htm Tue, 14 Jul 2026 15:45:23 GMT Most people are aware that adults should aim for eight hours of sleep every night. As a result, a lot of people concentrate almost solely on how much time they spend in bed. They believe they have done everything correctly if they get to eight or nine hours. But sleeping is more complicated than that. Researchers and medical experts stress that sleep quality might matter more than sleep quantity. In many cases, it's actually just as, if not more, important. https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/healthcare/articles/2026/07/14/463893-how-modern-homes-accidentally-encourage-sedentary-living.htm https://www.healthtechzone.com/topics/healthcare/articles/2026/07/14/463893-how-modern-homes-accidentally-encourage-sedentary-living.htm Tue, 14 Jul 2026 15:40:23 GMT Modern homes are made to be more convenient, comfortable, and easy to live in. Although that seems like a positive thing, there is an unanticipated drawback. Many of the elements that make life more pleasurable also limit people's daily mobility. Modern dwellings can promote a more sedentary lifestyle without people realizing it.
