MIT alumni entrepreneurs Gauti Reynisson MBA 10 and var Helgason HS 08 spent the early 2000s working for companies that implemented medication-safety technologies
Surprisingly often patients receive the wrong medications. Indeed a 2006 report from the Institute of Medicine found that 1. 5 million hospitalized patients in the United states experience medication errors every year due in part to drug-administration mistakes.
Some cases have adverse or fatal results. Frustrated and seeking a solution the Icelandic duo quit their careers
and devised Medeye a bedside medication-scanning system that uses computer vision to identify pills
and check them against medication records to ensure that a patient gets the right drug and dosage.
Through this Dutch use the cofounders have determined that roughly 10 percent of Medeye s scans catch medication errors.
Medication verification is a pinnacle point of medical safety says Helgason a physician and product developer.
It s a complicated chain of events that leads up to medication mistakes. But the bedside is the last possible place to stop these mistakes.
and correctly administering medication. We want the device to be the nurse s best friend says Reynisson now Mint s CEO.
The device he adds could yield savings by averting medication mishaps which can cost hundreds of millions of dollars Currently the startup has raised $6 million in funding
It does all the querying for the right medication for the right patient and takes care of the paperwork Helgason says.
Similar systems exist for catching medication errors: About 15 years ago some hospitals began using barcode systems
Companies sell medications with barcodes others sell software or barcode scanners. Hospitals have to make all these things work together
Goes to show that even with full focus it is common for nurses to be in a position where they are expected to catch errors made in other parts of the medication-delivery process.
The hospital had to identify about 250 small white pills of different medications that in fact all looked the same.
In the future Reynisson says the startup has its sights on developing additional medication-safety technologies. At the core of the startup is this belief that better information technology in hospitals can both increase efficiency

Many of those people take medication usually as pills. But this is not an ideal way of treating pain:
Now researchers at MIT have refined a technique that could enable pain medication and other drugs to be released directly to specific parts of the bodynd in steady doses over a period of up to 14 months.
It's been hard to develop something that releases medication for more than a couple of months says Paula Hammond the David H. Koch Professor in Engineering at MIT
Because the effectiveness of pain medication is evaluated subjective they the efficacy of the method by seeing how well the diclofenac blocked the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) an enzyme central to inflammation in the body.
Hammond and Hsu note that the technique could be used for other kinds of medication; an illness such as tuberculosis for instance requires at least six months of drug therapy.
The next steps for the researchers include studies to optimize these properties in different bodily environments and more tests perhaps with medications for both chronic pain and inflammation.

#Using light to identify chiral molecules for pharmaceuticals A combination of nanotechnology and a unique twisting property of light could lead to new methods for ensuring the purity and safety of pharmaceuticals.
A direct relationship between the way in which light is twisted by nanoscale structures and the nonlinear way in
