Case Study 1
As subcontractors to a California-based consulting group and on behalf of an insulin pump manufacturer, MYO conducted a systematic literature search on diabetes, including disease incidence and demographics, as well as treatments, their complications and associated costs and use of resources.
We used this input to populate a comprehensive database, which enabled US diabetes physicians, as well as the client's own Marketing, Sales and R&D staff to have a global overview of literature findings in a tiny fraction of the time it would normally take.
One of the most useful features of this database was the inclusion of standardized 1-page summaries for all clinical studies involving the client's technology.
Case Study 2
A US-based medical device manufacturer was interested to assess the potential for its body-cooling technology to improve clinical and economic outcomes in patients with neurogenic fever due to stroke or traumatic brain injury.
MYO conducted a systematic search of the clinical and health economics literature for documentation of the impact of thermoregulation in treating patients with neurogenic fever. Findings were subsequently used to conduct a statistical meta-analysis of the acceptable literature.
At the client’s request, MYO consultants co-authored a clinical article presenting relevant findings (D Greer, S Funk, N Reaven, M Ouzounelli, G Uman. Impact of fever on outcome in patients with stroke and neurologic injury. Stroke 2008;39(11):3029-35).
