Last November 13, 2018, Aikontech which is a 35-year-old company has brought its hearing-aid products to the Philippines.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To put things in perspective, according to the World Health Organization, there are around 250 million people with hearing disabilities and hearing impairment in the world. About 2/3 of these identified people live in Asia and the Philippines along with Indonesia is among the Top 4 in that list.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The prevalence of hearing disabilities in this region can be attributed to several factors such as congenital, work-related, accident injury/trauma, and even lifestyle (those who go to loud venues and concerts or work in them).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This considerably contributes to a lessening of the quality of life of these hearing impaired people and is also a hindrance to gainful employment and livelihood opportunities.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Aikontech Hearing is now the distributor in the Philippines of various hearing aids for all the requirements of hearing-impaired persons in the Philippines.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With this, Aikontech offers Beltone hearing aids. Beltone was founded in 1940 to make high-quality hearing care to people. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Beltone with its decades of experience aims to give access to quality hearing aids with a clear focus on the different individual needs of the hearing impaired. The company believes that no individual should be denied an improved life with better hearing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Aikontech is into the distribution of IT products that include brands like Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Panasonic, McAfee, Huawei, Samsung, Lenovo, Logitech, Polycom and Jabra among others.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With an opportunity provided by the GN Group of Denmark, Aikontech also decided into the Hearing Aid industry sector. The GN Group owns Jabra and 3 other hearing aids brands such as ReSound, Belton end Interton. These premiere hearing aid brands provide technologically advanced hearing solutions and excellent customer care experience.</div>

Raul Destura of UP Manila’s National Institute of Health won the gold in the 46th International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva, Switzerland in its Invitational Conference.<br />
<br />
Knowing the urgency and scope of the problem of Dengue Fever infection in the country, Destura developed the Biotek-M Aqua Kit that utilizes polymerase reaction technology to detect the Dengue Fever virus in less than an hour. What makes it more accessible to Filipinos is that it is more affordable than conventional Dengue Fever diagnostic kits and systems.<br />
<br />
Destura received funding grants while conducting research and development for the diagnostic kit from the DOST Grants-in-Aid program, Philippine Council for Health Research and Development and Technicom.<br />
<br />
“I’m simply honored that our Filipino technology has been recognized by the international scientific community as relevant and important, and that it addresses a very common health need such as access to early diagnosis for dengue infection,” Destura told<br />
<br />
The Philippines sent two competitors in the competition and both won the gold medal for their inventions and this is out of 226 entries in the competition.<br />

<br />
The Philippine population is currently at 104 million. The population is said to be approaching its “Demographic Sweetspot” and that means the significant bulk is of the most productive age from 15 – 55 years old. That segment is also represented by the Millennials who comprise the majority of the demographic segment.<br />
<br />
One of the most basic needs is healthcare.<br />
<br />
Given the dynamics of social and cultural shifts, how will healthcare be made accessible to most of those who need it I that segment and for the Philippine population as a whole? It is acknowledged that current rules and regulations have been institutionalized way before these dynamics have occurred and that also goes for Healthcare Marketing and all its restrictions.<br />
<br />
The VITAL Healthcare Marketing Conference of 2018 aims to address this situation by developing an innovation mindset among all the stakeholders in this industry sector.<br />
<br />
This will entail advanced marketing and distribution systems together with platforms that are now emerging to meet these demands during fast-changing times. Integration with technology with patients, members, and providers of the healthcare community is now required.<br />
<br />
The VITAL Healthcare Marketing Conference 2018 aims to help companies and brands explore new models for innovation that will result in sustainable growth for the industry.<br />
<br />
The conference will include leading companies in the healthcare industry that will discuss the evolving the patients and healthcare providers partnerships. The focus will be on creating meaningful connections between brands and patients/consumers via marketing communications, access due to distribution plans, also, opportunities with data technology that will assist in the designing new consumer solutions for healthcare. <br />
<br />
The VITAL Healthcare Marketing Conference 2018 will be held on March 2018 at the Fairmont Hotel, Makati City. The conference will be from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.<br />
<br />
The conference is organized by Fiera de Manila, Inc. and sponsored by Havas Life, a fully integrated, global health communications group.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Apple Watch is one of the most popular timepieces of this era due to its slick design and nifty features.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A new development has made it even more enticing to the public, as Apple launched a new app that will allow the company to gather irregular heart rhythm data from the watches’ heart rate sensors.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Dubbed as The Apple Heart Study app, the extremely helpful feature will be able to detect irregularities and send notifications to watch owners who may be unknowingly suffering from atrial fibrillation (AFib).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The medical initiative was first launched last September as part of the watchOS 4, The Verge reports.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In partnership with experts from Stanford University, Apple hopes to collect heart rate data, which could further aid patients, doctors, and researchers to detect and cure heart irregularities.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Working alongside the medical community, not only can we inform people of certain health conditions, we also hope to advance discoveries in heart science,” Apple’s chief operating officer, Jeff Williams, said in a statement.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Heart rate is measured by green LED lights flashing hundreds of times per second, as well as photodiodes, which monitor the amount of blood flowing through the wrists.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Moreover, Apple Watch users who took part in the survey will be notified through their devices if an irregular heartbeat is detected.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Those who will be flagged will also receive free consultation with a study doctor and an electrocardiogram (EKG) patch for further observation.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As of wiring, the app is available only in the US App store and accepts users 22 years or older. They must also possess an Apple Watch Series 1 or later model.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
 <span style="font-size: large;">Duke University and Stanford University doctors and engineers are developing an ultrasound device that can be an equivalent of more expensive 3D imaging with just the addition of a chip that costs US$10.00</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Dr. Joshua Broder, MD, who is an associate professor and emergency physician at Duke Health, Durham, North Carolina, USA came up with the idea when he was playing the Nintendo Wii game console with his son.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Observing that  the Wii console was able to track the controller accurately, he concluded that the same principle can be done when a similar device can be “slaved” to a hand-held ultrasound probe.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">When presented at the American College of Emergency Physicians Research Forum in Washington, D.C., the innovation showed potential in emergency medicine applications.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">This device can be used in lieu of the more traditional MRI and CT Scan machines that cost five times than the ultrasound system being used.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">The requirement that in order to generate a 3D image, there must be precise and accurate tracking and orientation of the ultrasound probe enables the “modified” probe to stitch hundreds of individual slices of the anatomy thus generating a 3D image.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">The next step after a year was for Dr. Joshua Broder to bring his ideas to Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering. Together with undergraduate Matt Morgan and instructors and professors in biomedical engineering  Carl Herickhoff and Jeremy Dahl both of whom have since moved to Stanford University, the device is still being developed further. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">The chip, the size of a fingernail is attached to an ultrasound probe and is connected to a laptop that has been inputted with a developed program for the device. In a matter of seconds, a 3D model is generated. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">The device which is a standard ultrasound probe has the chip attached to it and is used in its regular way to generate the 3D image.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">The prototypes were created at Duke University’s 3D printing laboratory. The next step is or trials to determine how best to use the device in patient care. Also, development is going further in enabling the device to adapt to other 3D imaging machines.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">The device has good potential in generating 3D images where MRI and CT Scan devices are not available such as rural areas and in developing countries.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">BIGMO, a complementary food for children developed by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is set to lead the effort to alleviate child malnutrition in Valenzuela City.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Department of Science and Technology – National Capital Region (DOST-NCR) established a facility in Valenzuela City that will produce the said complementary food for Valenzuela City’s children who are aged 5 years and below.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The automated food production facility will be located at the Valenzuela City Polytechnic College (ValPoly).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The inauguration of the facility was led by DOST Secretary Fortunato de la Pena. The DOST’s Food and Nutrition Research Institute developed BIGMO that comes in 3 forms. BIGMO Curls, BIGMO ready-to-cook baby food, and BIGMO Instant Blend. This complementary food is aimed at addressing child malnutrition in Valenzuela City.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Valenzuela City May Rexlon T. Gatchalian welcomed the DOST facility and it will dovetail with the city’s current barangay-based feeding program.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Although there are 4 other food production facilities in the country, The facility in Valenzuela is the first facility to be fully automated. This feature minimizes human contamination due to handling. The facility is also centrally controlled.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The facility can process 120 kg of rice or mung beans per hour and that is 30 grams per sachet of BIGMO. Also, it is capable of processing rice and mung beans of up to 180 kg which can finish a daily production in two hours.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Various offices of DOST such as the Food and Nutrition Research Institute, Metals Industry Research and Development Institute, and the DOST-NCR– worked hand-in-hand with the Valenzuela City LGU, ValPoly, and the Philippine Chamber of Commerce Valenzuela Chapter. </span><br />
