Elsa develops a Mobile Application for Rheumatoid Arthritis Education
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic systemic disease that most commonly begins in people between the age of 20 to 40. As the disease progresses the patient’s abilities to carry out tasks in their daily life becomes increasingly reduced. To prevent this, startups are creating preventative measures by tracking the initial symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis and educating patients in understanding them as well as taking precautionary measures.
Swedish startup Elsa provides a mobile application that supports patients diagnosed with rheumatic conditions. The application is designed to help patients understand the correlation between symptoms, medication, and habits. Healthcare professionals can use the accurate data of patients’ daily activity from the app for enhanced real-time monitoring and treatment progression analysis.
Living With provides a Remote Monitoring Platform for Rheumatoid Arthritis
The treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis is achievable through non-surgical interventions but requires constant monitoring of symptoms and treatment. The limitation of current arthritis monitoring practices is that the lack of accurate data collection between each doctor’s visit reduces the efficacy of treatments. Startups are solving this problem by providing remote monitoring solutions that give patients and doctors an accurate electronic health record (EHR) to track diseases and treatments.
British startup Living With provides a platform to monitor a patient’s disease activity remotely. The platform creates a comprehensive electronic health record through clinically validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), a flare reporter, fatigue diary, and medication tracking. Using the data collected, medical professionals can customize treatment procedures, track patient adherence, and reaction to the medication.
Citryll works on Antibody Therapeutics for Rheumatoid Arthritis
The advancements in therapeutic research & development (R&D) have resulted in an increasing number of solutions being created for auto-immune and similar diseases. Current treatment procedures rely on medication or surgical intervention for diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis. However, startups are using therapeutics to create treatments that target the cells responsible for immunity which has a better effect on disease treatment.
Netherlands-based BioTech startup Citryll specializes in the development and commercialization of antibody therapeutics. Its therapeutic solution targets innate immunity, in particular, NETosis and NETs to block auto-antigen production and promote the systemic clearance of NETs. The therapeutic treatment aims to prevent or treat diseases with high medical needs like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Rheumatoid Arthritis, and more.
TruStem Cell Therapy creates Stem Cell Therapies to treat Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis is a disease caused by the movement of immune system cells from the blood into the joints and joint-lining tissue. This causes inflammation that leads to irritation and swelling of joints that subsequently leads to wear-down. Stem cell treatments, unlike other medications or therapeutics, utilize the patient’s own bone marrow cells which reduces the risks of negative effects or cell rejection.
US-based startup TruStem Cell Therapy focuses on the development of treatments for Rheumatoid Arthritis using stem cells. Their treatment process begins with a minimally invasive bone marrow harvest through a blood draw. Followed by a proprietary process that isolates and excites regenerative cells and concentrates healing factors and then uses administration methods to fully saturate the body with stem cells while targeting specific areas of injury.
Cyxone manufactures an Orally Administered Drug to treat Rheumatoid Arthritis
Arthritis is a disease that affects a large number of people globally with elderly people being especially prone to the effects of arthritis. Patients who suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis face debilitating symptoms that substantially reduce their quality of life. Advanced therapeutic and BioTech solutions are able to help patients, however, these types of treatments are often expensive and unavailable to the general public. Pharmaceutical startups are creating effective treatments in the form of drugs that are cost-effective, efficient, and accessible to patients on demand.
Swedish startup Cyxone develops an orally administrable drug called Rabeximod. The drug selectively affects inflammatory macrophage that causes tissue breakdown and causes symptoms in Rheumatoid Arthritis. This solution minimizes the side effects of medication while being an effective treatment for the early symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis.
