Dune Medical is maker of MarginProbe. Dune Medical develops, manufactures, and commercializes innovative products that improve the effectiveness and outcome of cancer therapy by providing real-time tissue characterization systems to guide surgical and diagnostic decisions. The company accomplishes this by identifying significant unmet clinical and market needs and investing in core technologies to develop products that improve patient care, build shareholder value, and create an exciting environment for employees.
Dune Medical Devices was founded in 2002 by Dr. Dan Hashimshony to realize the extraordinary medical potential of its proprietary tissue characterization technology. Offering surgeons and radiologists the real time ability to identify cancerous tissues and react immediately, this technology holds the promise for a broad range of surgical and diagnostic applications. Dune Medical Devices is a privately held company with offices in the U.S. and Israel.
MarginProbe allows surgeons to be able to, in real-time, determine the effectiveness of their lumpectomy excision of a worrisome breast lesion, regarding the presence or absence of tumor cells within the surgical margin. The technology helps reduce the occurrence of having to return to surgery after the pathology results come in reflecting the need for additional excision. Today, as many as 1 in 4 patients must return for more surgery after lumpectomy when this tool is not deployed.
The company has had this tool utilized on over 9000 patients to date and response from clinicians has been overwhelmingly positive.

Improving Quality of Diagnostic Data
Dr. Carolyn Compton, a panelist at the upcoming 2016 Health Connect South event September 21, took time out to join me on the show to talk about the need for improving the quality of data we get through diagnostic testing through better control of how specimens are gathered, handled, and stored.
She shared an example of how a specimen, collected knowing it was positive for tumor cells, can be made to return a “Negative” result for cancer if the specimen is not handled properly once it’s been collected. She will be talking about how many factors can affect the validity and thus, value, of given tests if there exists a wide range of variance across the pre-diagnostic phase of test gathering.
A pathologist by profession, Dr. Comptom is very familiar with how significant the impact can be if diagnostic testing is unreliable due to practices that could be prevented. Insuring that we are making decisions using the best, highest quality data available, means we need to look for any areas where variability creates what in essence is data artifact.
Arizona State University ranked by US News and World Report as the most innovative university in the
country and is the #1 producer of Fulbright scholars. Mayo Clinic is ranked by US News and World Report
as the best hospital in the US.

Facilitating Clinical Trials
Facilitating Clinical Trials
On this episode I caught up with Josh Mann, Co-founder/President of a non-profit organization, shareforcures.com, a digital platform that is facilitating clinical trials. The platform accomplishes this by creating a database that enables individuals to contribute various aspects of their personal health data that can be utilized by clinical trials.
We know securing test participants is one of the greatest challenges and sources of cost for clinical trials. So to have resources such as this becoming available should help tackle that problem as more and more patients and individuals populate the database with ever more information.
Data can come from wearable tech such as FitBits, Apple Watch, and others, as well as diagnostic equipment like glucometers, blood pressure, and even electronic medical records. The individuals contributing data have the ability to make as much or as little of their information accessible by clinical trials. And when it is utilized, it is possible to de-identify the individual to protect their privacy.
Josh talked about the fact that currently, most clinical trials end up with participants who as a group are often not truly representative of the patients who will be utilizing a medicine or device. The reason for this stems from the fact that typically, patients taking multiple medications are often not included, along with patients who have multiple diseases, or other factors that can contribute to effectiveness of a drug or treatment regimen.
Josh will be participating in the discussions at the Health Connect South event September 21, 2016 at the Georgia Aquarium, talking about the role of big data in healthcare and how its evolution and integration will impact patient outcomes and clinical trials.
