Curavit to lead US trial of Nestmedic's prenatal monitoring solution
Polish medtech company Nestmedic has chosen Curavit Clinical Research to spearhead the US clinical study of the remote prenatal monitoring solution, PregnaOne. The non-significant risk (NSR) trial is set to enrol 50 expectant mothers over 11 months across the country to assess the effectiveness and safety of the solution when used at home. This foundational study aims to gather evidence to facilitate upcoming regulatory clearance in the US. Curavit will oversee all trial aspects, including institutional review board (IRB) submissions, site choosing, data management, contract and monitoring, selection of clinical data capture software, data analytics, as well as the clinical study report (CSR) preparation. Nestmedic CEO Jacek Gnich said: 'We are building technology with empathy at its core. Curavit's innovation-forward approach, medical device expertise, and deep clinical trial experience make them the ideal partner to run this pivotal study in the US.' At least three clinical sites will be chosen, focusing on participant diversity in terms of geography and demographics. Curavit noted that a centralised healthcare provider (HCP) data review and adjudication process implementation will take place to ensure the quality and consistency of the data. Curavit Clinical Research CEO and co-founder Joel Morse said: 'We are honoured to support Nestmedic in bringing PregnaOne to market. 'Their mission to improve prenatal care through remote monitoring perfectly aligns with Curavit's vision to partner with innovative medical device companies that are working to expand access to healthcare.' In 2023, Curavit Clinical Research introduced a Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) service for clinical studies. In the same year, MedRhythms chose Curavit as its virtual contract research organisation (VCRO) for a trial of its MR-001 neurorehabilitation system.

World's largest digital camera unveils dazzling first images of the universe
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, perched atop Cerro Pachon in Chile, has released the first breathtaking images from the world's largest digital camera, offering an unprecedented glimpse into the initial 'first look' shots, unveiled Monday, showcase vibrant scenes of nebulas, stars, and galaxies—heralding a new era in astronomical observatory's 3,200-megapixel camera, the largest ever constructed, captured the colorful Trifid and Lagoon nebulas—vast clouds of gas and dust located thousands of light-years from Earth in the constellation These images, composed from hundreds of exposures taken over just seven hours, reveal intricate details and previously hidden structures within these stellar nurseries. The LSST Camera at the heart of Rubin Observatory captures extremely fine features in distant galaxies, stars, and other celestial objects. (Photo: VCRO) Also featured are dazzling spiral galaxies within the Virgo Cluster, including two bright blue spirals, and a mosaic of millions of stars and galaxies, some never before by the US National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy, the $810 million observatory is set to scan the southern sky every three to four nights for the next decade, aiming to image 20 billion galaxies and discover countless new asteroids and celestial phenomena. advertisementIn its first test observations alone, the Rubin Observatory identified thousands of asteroids, including several near-Earth objects, none of which pose a threat to our planet. Rubin will generate approximately 20 terabytes of data per night, plus an additional 15 petabyte catalog database. (Photo: VCRO) Named after pioneering astronomer Vera Rubin—whose work provided the first compelling evidence for dark matter—the observatory is poised to deepen our understanding of the universe's most elusive mysteries, including dark energy and the nature of cosmic evolution.'The Rubin Observatory will capture more information about our universe than all optical telescopes throughout history combined,' said Brian Stone, acting director of the National Science Foundation. The amount of data gathered by Rubin Observatory in its first year alone will be greater than that collected by all other optical observatories combined. (Photo: VCRO) Scientists and astronomers worldwide are eagerly anticipating the observatory's full scientific mission, which promises to transform our view of the cosmos and inspire new generations of more images are released, the world will watch as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory continues its groundbreaking journey, mapping the universe in stunning detail and revealing the ever-changing tapestry of the night sky- Ends
