The Cleveland Clinic is one of the leading multispecialty academic medical centres on the planet. Their mission: caring for life, researching for health, and educating those who serve. Their integrated culture of research and patient care facilitating dialogue between researchers and clinicians ensures their experts have their fingers on the pulse of the new and innovative medical technologies that will change the face of healthcare.
In that spirit the Cleveland Clinic launched their Top 10 Medical Innovations program to inform and inspire professionals on the latest medical devices, medical technology, theme and therapy advances they believe will have the greatest impact on healthcare in the coming year.

View the Cleveland Clinic Top 10 Medical Innovations list for 2022.
1. Next Generation of mRNA Vaccinology
Having proven its effectiveness during the COVID epidemic this landscape-changing technology has the potential to be used to manage some of healthcare’s most challenging diseases quickly and efficiently.
2. PSMA-Targeted Therapy in Prostate Cancer
When detected early by PSMA PET scans, recurrent prostate cancer can be treated through a targeted approach with stereotactic body radiation therapy, surgery and/or systemic therapy.
3. New Treatment for the Reduction of LDL
Inclisiran is an injectable small interfering RNA that targets the PCSK9 protein. In contrast to statins, it requires infrequent dosing and provides effective and sustained LDL-C reduction.
4. Novel Drug for Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes
Injected under the skin, GLP-1 and GIP receptors cause the pancreas to release insulin and block the hormone glucagon, limiting blood sugar spikes after a meal.
5. Breakthrough Treatment for Postpartum Depression
This treatment appears to show benefits very quickly, while traditional anti-depressants typically take two to four weeks to have a significant effect.
6. Targeted Medication for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
A first-in-class medication specifically targets heart muscle to reduce abnormal contractions caused by genetic variants that put the heart into overdrive.
7. Non-Hormonal Alternatives for Menopause
A new group of non-hormonal drugs, called NK3R antagonists, have emerged as a viable alternative to hormone therapy.
8. Implantable Devices for Severe Paralysis
The technology uses implanted electrodes to collect movement signals from the brain and decode them into movement commands. Shown to restore voluntary motor impulses in patients with severe paralysis.
We recently covered the revolutionary spinal column implant device from the Neurorestore Laboratory that is empowering completely paralyzed individuals with severed spines to walk again.
9. AI for Early Detection of Sepsis
Using AI algorithms, the tool detects several key risk factors in real time by monitoring patients’ electronic medical records as physicians input information. Learn more about the early detection of sepsis with the use of AI in this article describing the latest advancements in the field at John Hopkins University, where they have developed a machine learning algorithm that can detect sepsis in real time, much earlier than traditional methods.
10. Predictive Analytics and Hypertension
Predictive analytics equip providers with the key that could open the door to preventing hypertension and many other diseases.
We found this list of medical innovations from the Cleveland Clinic to be interesting and thought provoking and will continue to monitor these trends as we work with our various partners and clients on developing the next generation of digital healthcare solutions.
