"Alternative Medical Device" Designers, Engineers, Inventors - Do you want to network?


Are there any Alternative/Complementary (CAM) device groups, conferences, associations, etc. - networking with each other, sharing best practices, etc.?

I'd like to network and learn specifically from the technical people involved in making CAM devices.  They might be engineers, researchers, scientists, doctors who make devices, inventors, anyone who uses the Placebo Effect in their devices.

I see great untapped potential in "enhancing the Placebo Effect", particularly with the use of devices, e.g. pain relief, anxiety reducers, depression boosters, healing machines, psychoneuroimmunology, etc.




Alternative Medicine (CAM) is big now and is growing, both in the U.S. and worldwide.  There must be technical people designing CAM devices out there (engineers, designers, technicians, etc.)  These technical people must have a good understanding of the Placebo Effect to make devices that "look and sound like they heal or comfort".

These devices might be viewed by some as Quack Medical Devices and, yet, by others as a "miracle cure" or as a "comfort measure", especially for chronic health conditions.

Inasmuch as Pharmaceutical Companies make use the Placebo Effect, methinks the conventional Medical Device Industry also makes use of the Placebo, too, though I can't find many references.

Here are some examples of what I'm talking about - CAM Medical Devices -

Do medical devices have enhanced placebo effects?

 

Placebo responses to medical device therapy for pain.

I didn't find much in the way of (CAM) device groups, conferences, associations, etc. - but maybe someday.

"People who are given medication for an ailment frequently feel better because they think they should, even though the product has no therapeutic value. This is known as the placebo effect. In order to eliminate the bias of the placebo effect in a clinical study, it is common practice to "blind" the participants, i. e., dispense to the control group a placebo which simulates in taste, smell, and appearance the product being tested. Similarly, to neutralize any subconscious bias of the examiner, it is important to blind him, i. e., prevent him from knowing which subjects received the medication and which did not. A study in which both the subjects and the examiner are blinded is referred to as "double-blind." See JA 914-916." - Lecture 3
