    Sibel Health: Steve Xu

    Sibel Health is a medical device company that has developed a wearable, wireless scratch sensor to automatically detect scratching using AI/ML algorithms. The technology was accepted to the FDA’s drug development tool (DDT) program and is currently undergoing qualification to act as an endpoint in clinical studies determining the efficacy of therapeutics for atopic dermatitis. DiMe organized a Critical Path Innovation Meeting between pharmaceutical companies, patient advocacy groups, dermatologists, members of the FDA, and digital health technology manufacturers like Sibel to discuss the digital measurement of nocturnal scratch. Having a shared terminology and ontology for nocturnal scratch facilitated conversation between Sibel, the FDA, pharmaceutical companies, and other stakeholders by ensuring that everyone had the same baseline understanding of the concept. Interviews conducted by DiMe with both pediatric and adult atopic dermatitis patients and their family members established the clinical meaningfulness of nocturnal scratch to patients. Inputs from these interviews were critical in determining the outcome measure that would be most valuable to patients in drug development.

    Omar Manejwala, M.D.

    Learn more about this V3 in Action story:

    Koneksa

    “We did analytics validation [step two of V3] in healthy populations versus disease populations in this case [because] gate and balance features can be recorded in both populations. In many cases, this is an optimal first step because testing novel algorithms [e.g., those developed by Koneksa] may require multiple iterations. – Elena Izmailova, Chief Scientific Officer, Koneksa

    Learn more about this V3 in Action story:

    Koneksa

    “The first step [of V3] is sensor verification, and to understand the accuracy of accelerometers of [three devices], we put them on top of the Shake Table, which is the gold standard benchtop device for evaluating sensor accuracy…[we determined that] all three devices are fit-for-purpose to record gait and balance… [When looking at] hand tremors, another feature of Parkinson’s Disease, the accuracies are different… if we didn’t do this verification and we wanted to use these devices for collecting hand tremors it shows that this solution is not optimal.” – Elena Izmailova, Chief Scientific Officer, Koneksa
