The Covid-19 pandemic necessitated the payments industry undergo a facelift, sparked by novel approaches from new-age players, fostered by industry consolidation, and customers’ demand for end-to-end experience. Crossing the threshold, the industry is entering a new era – Payments 4.X, where payments are embedded and invisible, and an enabling function to provide frictionless customer experience. As customers make a permanent shift to next-gen payment methods, Digital IDs are critical for a seamless payment experience. The B2B payments segment is witnessing rapid digitization. BigTechs, PayTechs, and industry newcomers are ready to jump in with newfangled solutions to help underserved small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
As incumbents struggle with profits, new-age firms are forging ahead to take the lead in the Payments 4.X era by riding the success of non-card products and services. The new era demands collaboration, platformification, and firms can unleash full market potential only by embracing API-based business models and open ecosystems. Data prowess and enhanced payment processing capabilities are inevitable to thrive ahead. The clock is ticking for banks and traditional payments firms because the competitive advantage is not guaranteed forever. As industry players seek economies of scale, consolidations loom, and non-banks explore new territories to threaten incumbents’ market share. While all these 2022 trends are at play, central bank digital currency (CBDC) is emerging globally and might open a new chapter in the current payments landscape.

Patient centricity and digital solutionsAhmed Graouch
Beyond product offerings, it also positions Medtech companies to help hospitals and health systems transition to the future of health through services.
The term “digital twin” refers to the digital version of a physical device or process. By bridging the physical and the virtual worlds, data is transmitted seamlessly allowing the virtual entity to exist simultaneously with the physical device or process. Digital twins are emerging as virtual test beds for
possible solutions before they implement physical devices. These computer-based models are fed individual and population data and mimic the electrical and physical properties of an object.
Medical device companies are using this technology to simulate how their devices are being used in the
clinical setting.
In our view of the future of health, radically interoperable data is likely to play a huge role in transforming health care. Data from medical technologies such as wearables, remote monitors, and
sensors will be standardized, stored, updated, and aggregated with other sources of information such as social media platforms, retailers, and electronic health records.
The combined data will create a complete personal profile that physicians and health systems can use to help ensure that
I deliver health services in an appropriate fashion.
Healthcare analytics has the potential to reduce costs of treatment, predict outbreaks of epidemics, avoid preventable diseases, and improve quality of life. It can improve processes, enhance patient care, and save lives by using analytics to better predict patient needs and staff accordingly. Electronic health records store a patient's comprehensive medical history digitally, allowing doctors to track changes over time with no risk of lost data or duplication. Analyzing demographic health data allows for strategic planning to identify factors that discourage treatment uptake. Analytics also helps prevent security threats, fraud, and inaccurate insurance claims while streamlining the claims process. The patient experience, overall population health, and operational costs can all be improved through healthcare analytics.
Why is this essential? It springs from the eternal truth that the more you know your patients, the better you can respond to their current needs and predict what their future needs may be as well. The Health Care sector is now opting for Customer Relationship Management (CRM) in its daily application. CRM Health Care consists of a wide array of software products that help healthcare organizations to maintain excellent relationships with their clients. CRM enables the health care industry to get essential customer information and use it as efficiently as possible. CRM thus enables the health care sector to improve patient health, increase patient loyalty and patient retention and add new services as well. The CRM Health Care Services include strategic planning, communication services, consulting services, CRM for physicians, Campaign management, Database construction, predictive segmentation, and communications strategies.
Why a Build-Your-Own Healthcare Data Platform Will Fall Short and What to Do ...Health Catalyst

Yasser's Maneuver for Regaining the Consciousness in the Psychogenic Coma.pptxYasserMohammedHassan1
Statement of the problem: Psychogenic coma, generally is one of the most anxious and irritant problems in clinical medicine for all medical practitioners. Using recurrent painful or mischievous stimuli is contraindicated in a psychogenic coma. Method of study and patients: My study was technical, prospective, observational, and interventional for 321 cases. The study was conducted in a physician outpatient clinic, Fraskour Central Hospital, and Ras-Al-bar Central Hospital. The author reported the 321 cases of psychogenic coma over nearly 5 years and 7-months, started from August 07, 2015, and, ended on March 07, 2021. Three selective groups were included in the study. Three groups were selected and evaluated for safety or complications and efficacy or responses. Suggesting hypothesis: Yasser’s maneuver can regaining the consciousness in a psychogenic coma. The research objectives to evaluate this hypothesis might include: What is psychogenic coma? What is Yasser’s maneuver? How can Yasser’s maneuver do improvement of psychogenic coma? Is the study supported by past publicized literature studies? Results: The range of age in the study was 16-55 years with an insignificant P-value (0.231). There is a female sex predominance for all groups (67%). The response for the group I was: (97.35%)) vs. (85.85%)) in group II, and (81.37%) in group III. The most common associated risk factor was psychogenic hyperventilation syndrome (HVS); in the group, I was 79.6%, in group II was 78.4%, and in group III was 96.2±1.7 with no statistical significance (P-value 0.74). Conclusions: The author concluded that Yasser’s maneuver is easy, available, quick, non-costive, time-saving, and extremely safe in the psychogenic coma. Very few and mild few mild complications for this maneuver encourage the generalizing use in the psychogenic coma.

Human blood has a hydrogen ion concentration [H+ ] of 35 to 45 nmol/L and it is essential that its concentration is maintained within this narrow range.
Hydrogen ions are nothing but protons which can bind to proteins and alter their characteristics.
All the enzymes present in the body are proteins and an alteration in these enzyme systems can change the homeostatic mechanisms of the body.
Hence, a disturbance in acid-base balance can result in malfunction of the various organ systems.
The normal pH of blood is 7.35-7.45.
Acidosis is defined as a pH Less than 7.35.
Conversely, when the pH is more than 7.45, alkalosis is said to exist.
Acidosis and alkalosis are of two types each: respiratory and metabolic.
An increase in carbon dioxide (CO2 ) levels increases the plasma [H+ ] and decreases the pH (respiratory acidosis).
Similarly, a decrease in plasma carbon dioxide levels reduces the [H+ ] and increases the pH (respiratory alkalosis).
A decrease in [HC03 -] reduces the pH and is called metabolic acidosis.
Similarly, an increase in [HC03 -] increases the pH and produces metabolic alkalosis.
The pH is regulated in the human body mainly by two organs: the respiratory system and the renal system.
The arterial carbon dioxide levels are regulated by the respiratory system.
Any increase in carbon dioxide levels stimulates the respiratory centre in the medulla thus augmenting respiration, alveolar ventilation and elimination of extra CO2 levels.
A decrease in CO2 levels may reduce the stimulus to breathe and cause hypoventilation.
This response is limited by hypoxia as the hypoxic drive stimulates the patient to maintain respiration.
Respiratory response to changes in CO2 level occurs very fast.
The plasma bicarbonate levels are regulated by the kidneys.
Any decrease in [HC03 -] stimulates the kidney to retain and synthesise bicarbonate.
High [HC03 -] results in elimination of more bicarbonate in urine.
In general, the pulmonary response to a change in acid-base status is faster and occurs immediately.
However, renal regulation takes time, a few hours to days.
Kidneys filter and reabsorb all the bicarbonate in the urine.
When necessary, kidneys can also produce extra bicarbonate through the glutamine pathway.
When an acid-base disorder occurs, the initial disturbance that occurs is termed the primary disorder.
The body attempts to normaliZe the pH by certain compensatory mechanisms resulting in a secondary disorder, e.g. primary metabolic acidosis results in an increase in hydrogen ions and a consequent decrease in bicarbonate ions.
To compensate for this, the patient hyperventilates and reduces the arterial carbon dioxide levels, thus moving the pH back to normal ( compensatory respiratory alkalosis )

Predictive Analytics Wellness & Prevention Therapeutics
Segments of Smart Care
Early Detection and Diagnosis
Patient data can be used to predict clinical risk, enabling
providers to target resources where they are needed most and
target problems that would benefit from early intervention.
Computer-based algorithms, drawing on patients’ clinical and
demographic data, can generate risk scores identifying those at
higher risk of avoidable readmissions. Key use cases include:
• Predictive Analytics
• Medical Imaging insights
• Drug discovery
Clinical Decision Support
Technologies which aid clinical decision making and workflow offer
substantial opportunities to reduce variation in care while
improving the accuracy and speed of decision making. Creating an
entire workflow from diagnosis to the laboratory to the diet to the
physical therapy and medication. Clinical Decision Support System
(CDSS) ranges from very passive electronic aids, such as hyperlinks
to guidelines, to extremely pro-active one-click flow mechanisms.
• Silent Health deterioration alerts
• Patient Risk assessment and recommendation
• Fatigue alerts
Therapeutics/ Chronic Disease Management
Digital health solutions empower chronic disease patients to
manage their health on their own by introducing relevant lifestyle
improvements and changing behavioral patterns, as well as
enabling healthcare professionals to adjust treatment and monitor
their at-risk population.
Wellness and Prevention
Digital health and wellness mainly refers to psycho-social and
physical well-being in a technological world, or else the increased
use of technologies by people for their wellbeing. Wellness apps
and wearables, for example, might make vague claims about
what they can help you do, such as increase energy, lose weight,
get fit, or sleep better.

Case study: The TEKI project
How Accenture and Microsoft helped Spain’s
Basque Country Health centre build a remote
elderly patient monitoring system known as
TEKI.
• The TEKI system in Spain’s Basque Country
keeps patients connected to their care team
via an internet-linked Microsoft Kinect unit
• Patients communicate regularly with their
physician using video, voice or text messages
via an interface on their TV screen.
• They can also complete symptom-related
questionnaires by gesture control, perform
prescribed rehabilitative exercises and check
vitals.
Virtual care
Virtual care is a term that encompasses all the ways
hospitals/physicians interact with their patients using digital
platforms like live video, audio, or instant messaging etc.
Telemedicine is one major virtual care segment, but it specifically
refers to the medicinal aspect of healthcare. Offering medical
advice and prescriptions, physiotherapy, at-home exercises and
continuous monitoring of chronic patients through smart phones,
web or hospital based platforms are key aspects of telemedicine
• Driving real-time communication between providers,
specialists, and patients.
• Enabling smaller and/or rural hospitals to leverage specialists
from other facilities.
• Reducing ambulance time spent by providers, specialists and
patients.
• Allowing patients to participate in their healthcare from any
device, anywhere, and at any time
• Enhancing patient engagement, overall satisfaction and
outcomes
Connected Home Health
• Connected health monitoring in the home involves individual
‘piecemeal’ smart health gadgets that provide an ongoing
wellbeing assessment to the user.
• Developing everyday appliances to specifically help the patient
and therefore fit into the connected home is the next
immediate step for the medical industry. .
• Electronics and mobile companies are launching independent
devices and smartphone applications , to track heart rate,
activity and even sleep patterns
• The connected home will be a major enabler in helping the
NHS to replace certain healthcare services, freeing up beds for
just the most serious cases and easing the pressure on GP
surgeries and A&E departments
• Home health technology will continuously check for vital signs
and everyday non-invasive health checks will be possible
without the need for a doctor
