Horizon Scanning

It is a challenge for health plans and clinicians to know what emerging technologies are in the preapproval phase and what their clinical, financial, and risk impacts might be. This is where we come in.

The Hayes Horizon Scanning Solution identifies innovative and potentially disruptive health technologies that are in various stages of the regulatory approval process. Our Research Analysts continually investigate new technologies that are on the horizon or in the early stages of clinical investigation, as well as the testing of existing technologies that may be seeking approval for new clinical applications. Hayes Horizon Scanning helps you track emerging technologies before you need to make decisions. Accessed through the Hayes Knowledge Center, Hayes Horizon Scanning addresses the following fundamental questions to help our clients forecast emerging technologies:

  • Is this emerging technology new or replacing an existing technology?
  • Where is this technology in the FDA regulatory process?
  • When will this technology be commercially available in the market?
  • What is the projected use, cost, and financial impact of this technology?

Betibeglogene Autotemcel (Zynteglo) for Beta Thalassemia

Betibeglogene autotemcel (beti-cel; Zynteglo; formerly Lentiviral Autologous Beta-Globin Gene Therapy, LentiGlobin) is an autologous hematopoietic stem cell-based gene therapy for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with β-thalassemia who require regular red blood cell (RBC) transfusions.

iStent infinite Trabecular Micro-Bypass System for Open-Angle Glaucoma

The iStent infinite is a trabecular micro-bypass stent system intended to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) as a stand-alone procedure for uncontrolled primary open-angle glaucoma (OAG). The device includes 3 heparin-coated titanium stents measuring one-third millimeter (mm) in length and width. The stents are preloaded into an auto-injection system that allows the surgeon to…

Pegzilarginase for Arginase 1 Deficiency

Pegzilarginase is an investigational recombinant form of the human enzyme arginase 1 (ARG1) proposed for the treatment of pediatric and adult patients with ARG1 deficiency. It is administered by intravenous infusion or subcutaneous injection.

GammaSense Stimulation System for Alzheimer Disease

The GammaSense Stimulation System is an investigational, home-use, wearable device that delivers auditory and visual stimulation to entrain gamma frequency neural activity in the brain. It is proposed for the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer disease (AD). Brainwave entrainment is a technique to prompt the brain’s neural activity to synchronize to the frequency of exter…

Organ Care System (OCS) Heart

The OCS Heart is a portable extracorporeal heart perfusion and monitoring system indicated for the preservation of donation-after-brain-death (DBD) donor hearts deemed unsuitable for procurement and transplantation at initial evaluation due to limitations of prolonged cold static cardioplegic preservation (e.g., > 4 hours of cross-clamp time); and for the ex vivo reanimation,…
