Diagnostics World | In a big advance for precision medicine, researchers in Australia have developed a genetic biomarker of people’s response to sodium reduction. It is often but not always the case that modifying sodium levels lowers blood pressure by reducing the fluid volume of blood in the cardiovascular system, and knowing in advance how patients will respond could help eliminate the “treatment odyssey” that many of them are experiencing.

Diagnostics World | When the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe) launched its Library of Digital Endpoints, a listing of industry-sponsored studies of new medical products or applications that use sensor-derived endpoints, there were a total of 35. Four years later, that same library now includes over 400 unique digital endpoints collected by over 60 sponsors to answer questions about the efficacy of new medical products.
