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?

Enroute Transcarotid Neuroprotection System (NPS)

The Enroute NPS (formerly the MICHI Neuroprotection System) protects the brain from plaque and debris dislodged during carotid artery angioplasty and stenting (CAS) by reversing blood flow and capturing the material in its in-line filter. It is the first and only embolic protection device for CAS designed for neck rather than groin access. The Enroute NPS device was introduced to the U.S. mark…
