Summary: Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease associated with cognitive decline. While memory problems are common in patients, musical memory is partially preserved, leading to the use of music therapy in Alzheimer's management. Music therapy can improve mood and cognition in patients.

Summary: Every year, the FDA approves approximately 3,000 medical devices through the 510(k) pathway, accounting for 99% of all devices approved for human use. These devices include newer technologies like AI and ML. As the complexity of these technologies increases, the FDA needs to streamline the review process for less complex devices to address future regulatory questions. Third party review organizations have played a role in assisting with the review of 510(k) applications for specific device classes.
