What if we could use our consumer electronic devices, like smartphones, tablets and smartwatches, to aid in diagnosing ear infections, autism or COVID-19? Could we use our AirPods and our devices’ built-in microphones to monitor our lung health and body temperature? These scenarios, dubbed Clinical Diagnostics on Consumer Electronics (CD-CE), are quickly approaching reality.
CD-CE democratizes access to care by moving clinical diagnosis out of Points of Care and into our Points of Living. Using the smartphones in our pockets as a diagnostic tool could dramatically improve healthcare outcomes through earlier diagnosis, help close the healthcare equity gap and allow us to collectively bend the healthcare cost curve.
To realize this healthier, more equitable future, CD-CE manufacturers face safety and clinical effectiveness concerns from regulatory bodies, as well as cost and ROI concerns from insurance providers – plus a host of technical challenges when addressing the sheer range of diversity in the smartphone market.

Venue: Virtual
In the development of Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), there’s often a tension between moving at the speed of Agile and adhering to a Quality Management System that is document-based, which can be tedious to maintain.
An electronic Quality Management System (or eQMS), like the one recently deployed internally by Orthogonal, keeps up with the pace of Agile SaMD development by plugging directly into the tools that development teams already use for their work. This data-driven, automated approach to eQMS can give your organization a huge competitive advantage, enabling the production of a continuous stream of successful devices that improve the health and quality of peoples’ lives faster.
This live webinar on September 29th, 2022 featured senior technical leaders from Orthogonal discussing the effectiveness of an electronic Quality Management System (or eQMS), including a live demo of our in-house system.
Business Models in Digital Health
Organizer: MATTER
Date: Thursday, September 22, 2022
Venue: MATTER Chicago
Significant advancements have been made in working out novel business models for digital health products, but implementing a successful go-to-market strategy remains a major challenge.
We have seen a lot of trial and error, as well as migration between commercialization pathways. One of the critical crossroads on that pathway is whether companies should take the approach of delivering a service, a product, or a bit of both?
Each has pros and cons. A number of digital health products take a service approach, while traditional prescriptions are a product, which adds a layer of complexity to getting these to market.
