Traditional wound management products are the most common types of products used to treat non-severe and acute wounds. These products including gauze, lint, plasters, bandages (natural or synthetic), and cotton wool are dry and used as primary or secondary dressings for protecting the wound from contaminations. They are used to absorb exudate, stop bleeding, close open trauma and surgical wounds, and maintain the dryness to speed up healing of the wound. The report provides market dynamics and trends related to the global traditional wound management market. The study estimates the revenue generated from the sales of traditional wound management products; however, it excludes the advanced wound management products revenue. The valuations comprise revenue generated from traditional wound management products such as gauze, bandage, cotton, and others.

Chatbots are computer programs that allow humans to interact and clear various queries relating to various topics, and thereby benefit from the technology. Humans send inputs via texts, messages, voices, and some other gestures to enable interaction with chatbots. Over the past decade, chatbots were employed only in providing customer service; in recent years, chatbots have evolved significantly and are penetrating numerous sectors. Many industries have realized the power of conversations and are thereby investing funds to increase the adoption of chatbots. The industries are exploring the major advantages that these chatbots can provide to their businesses; in this context, AI-driven chatbots are being widely popularized and different sectors are showing an interest in adopting them in their mainstream operations.

Home healthcare is providing professional medical care to patients who are suffering from chronic care, recovering from an injury or surgery, or patients who struggle to live independently because of their age or because of any physical or mental disability. Earlier, home healthcare provided skilled nursing services, physical or occupational therapies, speech-language therapies, and other rehabilitation services. In the US, homecare services for the elderly were added to Medicare, Medicaid, and Old Age Assistance Act facility in the 1960s, thus making the concept popular. But it was limited only to post-discharge patients recovering from an acute illness. It later grew as a separate branch of healthcare. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2016, the US had more than 12 thousand home care agencies in the market.

Immunotherapy, a non-traditional treatment, has become a prominent approach for treating many diseases, especially cancer, because it provides superior efficacy and safety. During this era of precision medicine and effective immunotherapies, the necessity for rapid and efficient antineoplastic development has never been greater. Biologics or biologic drugs are derived from living organisms and have proved to be a cure for several chronic conditions that were previously considered untreatable.

Immunoglobulins are glycoproteins produced by the plasma cells of the body. They are also referred to as antibodies, which are formed in response to harmful antigens. There are various types of immunoglobulins based on the structure, namely, IgA, IgE, IgM, IgG, and IgD. Each immunoglobulin has a specific function in the body. IgG is the most common class of immunoglobulins found in almost all parts of the body. It accounts for almost 80% of the total immunoglobulin concentration of the body. It is responsible for providing protection against bacterial and other antigen invasions. Based on the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain of IgG structure, it is classified into four subclasses, namely, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. IgG1 is the most abundant form of IgG, comprising almost 65% of the total IgG concentration.

A membrane bioreactor works on an advanced wastewater treatment technology, which integrates membrane separation with biological wastewater treatment. It is a combination of a suspended growth biological treatment method and an activated sludge, including membrane filtration equipment, usually low-pressure ultrafiltration (UF) or microfiltration (MF) membranes. The membranes are used to execute the critical solid-liquid separation function. In activated sludge systems, this is usually achieved using tertiary and secondary clarifiers along with tertiary filtration. The two common types of membrane bioreactor systems are gravity-driven or vacuum and pressure-driven systems. Gravity-driven or vacuum bioreactors are immersed and usually use flat sheet or hollow fiber membranes installed in either the bioreactor or subsequent membrane tank. Pressure-driven systems are in-pipe cartridge systems situated on the exterior of the bioreactor.

Medication errors and adverse drug events are significant public health concerns posing a threat to patient safety across the world. The use of technology is an important intervention in improving the management of medications, thereby reducing medication errors and adverse events and further improve patient safety. Latest medical technologies are aiding the development of new healthcare models that will benefit the healthcare sector and patients. New technologies can improve disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, facilitate patient safety, and improve health systems’ coordination, use of resources, and sustainability and reduce waiting time and errors. Rapid and reliable information and communication technologies (ICTs) have become vital components in improving the quality of health care. The use of technology in health has led to the development of medication management systems.

中央关于深化医保制度改革的一系列新决策，特别是《医疗保障基金使用监督管理条例》的颁布实施展现了我国医保基金安全防控前所未有的新形势，但要实现健全严密有力的基金监管机制改革目标还需要做大量工作。应在直面医保制度固有属性、基金使用主体道德风险、人口老龄化、新技术、监管体系不完善、监管能力不足等诸多挑战的基础上，采取推进责任体系建设、制度体系改革和完善保障措施等手段，加快建设基金安全防控新机制。

结合国家医疗保障局公布的典型案例和工作实践，在梳理和总结各类医保欺诈骗保的基础上，按照不同的行为主体分析其实施欺诈骗保的形式及行为特点；从构成欺诈骗保的四个要件，对常见欺诈骗保的行为进行分析和认定；围绕新形势下打击欺诈骗保面临的困境，提出对策建议，为进一步加大对欺诈骗保的打击力度，提高医保监管执法水平提供参考。
