Sleep Consortium Launches Sleep Patient Data Collection Initiative to Accelerate Therapeutic Development

Leave a comment


“Sleep Consortium’s new patient data collection platform is poised to become a critical driver for learnings, advancements, and patient-centered progress to improve countless lives.” — Julie Flygare, President and CEO, Project Sleep.


ALISO VIEJO, Calif. (PRWEB)

Sleep Consortium (SC) and RARE-X, the Global Genes research program and patient-owned data collection platform, today announced a collaboration to launch the Sleep Data Collection Initiative aimed at accelerating the development of effective treatments for central disorders of hypersomnolence (CDoH) and related conditions.

Phase 1 of the Sleep Data Collection Initiative has four main objectives: bring together a multi-disciplinary workgroup to prioritize sleep domains, develop an expanded sleep-focused data model, create a sleep patient community data collection portal, and the publication of a white paper detailing Phase 1 outcomes. This portal will serve as a platform to collect longitudinal patient-owned data, enabling the connection and pooling of multiple data sets. Ultimately, it will provide researchers around the world with the opportunity to request and analyze high-quality data. This platform will enable individuals with Primary Central Disorders of Hypersomnolence, including Narcolepsy Type 1, Narcolepsy Type 2, Idiopathic Hypersomnia, and Kleine-Levin Syndrome, to directly share their data with researchers and efficiently scale up treatment development opportunities. While this program and Phase 1 development will be expansive, Sleep Consortium will leverage existing investment in the robust platform, data governance and data model that RARE-X has brought forward.

“The Sleep Consortium takes a bold new approach to sleep research putting the patient in the center of its efforts. This initiative demands that the patient be the driver of new research considerations, have ownership of their own data, and serve as an invaluable partner to researchers internationally. This novel approach will leverage advanced technologies to further our understanding of sleep-wake disorders by starting with the debilitating symptom of excessive daytime sleepiness and identifying all the faces of patients who are suffering from it to better define the roads that lead to the development, consequence, and association with excessive daytime sleepiness.” — Anne Marie Morse, Director of Child Neurology and Pediatric Sleep Medicine, Geisinger, Janet Weis Children’s Hospital and Sleep Consortium Scientific Advisor.

This patient-led effort will further disease understanding and help enable the development of treatments that provide meaningful clinical benefit. The patient data collection portal will launch in Q1 2024, and patient-reported data will live alongside other consented, research-ready data sets from global registries, clinical sites, and academic institutions. The data collection portal will also serve to connect patients with qualifying clinical trials and studies. At present, patient-reported outcome measures are inadequate in capturing what truly matters to patients, and detailed, research-grade registry data is lacking.

“Unraveling the mysteries of narcolepsy and accelerating transformational research will require sophisticated technology and good-old-fashion teamwork. This is why I believe the Sleep Consortium’s new patient data collection platform is poised to become a critical driver for learnings, advancements, and patient-centered progress to improve countless lives.” — Julie Flygare, President and CEO, Project Sleep.

Sleep Consortium includes a diverse group of participants from across the rare disease ecosystem, including individuals with sleep disorders, advocates, advocacy organizations, KOLs, biopharmaceutical companies, and academic researchers. The consortium will lead the effort to collect patient-owned sleep data via the existing RARE-X data and analytics platform. By collecting and federating contemporary high-quality patient data, this initiative will help catalyze new knowledge that will help inform the research and development of new treatments.

“Hypersomnia Foundation recognizes the urgent need to accelerate research in hypersomnia disorders by working together as a community. It is the unique ability to interconnect data that will transform disease understanding and therapeutic development.” — David Burley, Board Chair, Hypersomnia Foundation.

The SC interconnected data collection effort will not only benefit people diagnosed with CDoH but also expand its reach through the sleep domain build-out with other disease groups within the RARE-X ecosystem. Currently, the RARE-X Platform supports 83 disease communities with ~58% of participants reporting sleep disturbance as a phenotype.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with the Sleep Consortium on this patient-centered initiative that promises to accelerate therapeutic development for central disorders of hypersomnolence. As a company committed to improving the lives of patients, we are excited to take the lead in advancing research and development in this pre-competitive space, and to be working with such a forward-thinking organization that truly puts patients at the center of its efforts.” — Bruce Cozadd, chairman and chief executive officer of Jazz Pharmaceuticals

Behavioral Health and Wellness Coaches Serve as a Front-Line Approach to Support Employee Mental Health

Leave a comment


News Image

“There is a bidirectional relationship between mental health and physical health,” said Chris Guild, Director of Training and Client Accounts of OMC Wellness, a Wellness Workdays Company.


BOSTON (PRWEB)

Wellness Workdays, a leading provider of workplace wellness programs, has developed a Behavioral Health and Wellness program designed to target employee mental health and resiliency to improve overall health outcomes. Wellness Workdays’ Behavioral Health and Wellness Coaches (BHWC) are trained to help employees learn to manage stress and anxiety and develop necessary coping skills to best achieve mental wellness. Based on available data, coaches trained in this approach can cover approximately 70% of employee mental health needs.

Coaches who are onsite, meeting employees where they are, literally and figuratively, are able to address co-present conditions that affect an individual’s health, along with providing support and accountability. The BHWC training focuses on achieving positive mental health outcomes through behavior change theories, active listening, and communication skills related to emotional health and resilience. “There is a bidirectional relationship between mental health and physical health,” said Chris Guild, Director of Training and Client Accounts of OMC Wellness, a Wellness Workdays Company. “Solutions that target nutrition and exercise alone aren’t enough to manage difficult conditions and drive outcomes. The model of our coaching program integrates mental and physical care in a total well-being approach, ultimately lowering company cost risks.”

Most states have fewer than 40% of the mental health professionals needed to meet needs, and 160 million Americans – nearly half of the US population, live in an area with a mental health professional shortage. Organizations are seeking proactive solutions to employee wellbeing and rising healthcare costs. “There is both a high demand for treatment and a low supply of trained behavioral and mental health professionals nationwide. This translates to 1 in 5 employees reporting a ‘high mental health risk’, and many of these employees going untreated or without support.” said Debra Wein, CEO and Founder of Wellness Workdays. “Our coaches are trained to address mild symptoms and prevent progression. They are trained to make referrals when additional help is necessary, sparing higher demand resources at their organization.”

About Wellness Workdays

Wellness Workdays is a Massachusetts company with offices in New York, Florida, and Texas that designs and delivers workplace wellness programs to promote employee health, productivity, and a culture of well-being. Our subsidiary, OMC Wellness, based in Portland, Maine, provides population health management solutions utilizing onsite health coaching and proprietary technology to sustain measurable outcomes.

Anthony Santilli MD speaking with Conference Director Leonard Perlmutter

AVERILL PARK N.Y. (PRWEB)

Anthony Santilli, MD will share “My Burnout Story” with medical colleagues at the American Meditation Institute’s 12th annual Heart and Science of Yoga CME Conference October 17-21, 2023 at the Equinox Resort and Spa in Manchester, Vermont. This proprietary, comprehensive training in Yoga Science as Holistic Mind/Body Medicine, which was recently found in a peer-reviewed clinical study to reduce Burnout and Stress, is accredited by the American Medical Association for 34 CME credit hours, and will be offered simultaneously in-person and virtually on Zoom.

During his conference presentation, Dr. Santilli will recount the conditions that led to his burnout, and the specific Yoga Science tools he learned and employed that enabled him to transform the debilitating consequences of burnout into an increase in energy, creativity and a renewed love for his medical practice. According to Dr. Santilli, “From this conference I’ve gained knowledge to help myself, which in turn, has helped my patients dramatically. Each year I attend the AMI conference, I feel a renewed sense of empowerment, and feeling empowered is important in the practice of my entire life––personal and professional.”

Speaking directly to the challenges facing today’s healthcare professionals, curriculum developer and faculty director Leonard Perlmutter says, “You became a doctor because you care about people. You work hard and truly want to serve your patients and profession. But as a physician you are subject to many stressors: overwork, cumbersome regulations, EMR and coding requirements, medical liability, on-call issues, lack of sleep, hospital politics, and frustrations with the reimbursement structure. But regardless of how challenging your circumstances might feel today, the 12th annual Heart and Science of Yoga® CME Conference will provide you a set of practical tools that can enable you to improve your job satisfaction and work-life balance, while reducing burnout and feelings of anger, depression, stress and exhaustion.”

Dr. Santilli is a Board Certified Pulmonary and Critical Care Physician. He graduated from the University of Buffalo School of Medicine, and attended Brown University where he completed his training in Internal Medicine. After practicing as a hospitalist at Albany Medical Center, he completed his fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City. Currently, Dr. Santilli practices with Schenectady Pulmonary and Critical Care Associates, where he serves as Vice President. He joined the Ellis Hospital Medical Staff in July 2014, and has recently served as its Chief of Staff. Anthony is a board member of the Innovative Health Alliance of New York (IHANY), and serves as co-chair of AMI’s Department of Medical Education.

The dedication, enthusiasm, and teaching methodology of the entire AMI faculty create a dynamic and interactive course for attending medical providers. All faculty members are graduates of previous AMI medical conferences. In addition to Dr. Santilli, other presenters will include AMI founder Leonard Perlmutter; Mark Pettus MD, board certified internist and nephrologist and Director of Medical Education and Population Health of Berkshire Health Systems; Kristin Kaelber MD, PhD, board certified in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics; Renee Rodriguez-Goodemote, MD, Medical Director of the Saratoga Hospital Community Health Center; Jesse Ritvo MD, Assistant Medical Director, Inpatient Psychiatry, University of Vermont Health Center; Joshua Zamer, MD, Medical Director for Addiction Medicine at Saratoga Hospital Community Health Center and Chairman of the Department of Family Practice; Jenness Cortez Perlmutter, co-founder and faculty member of The American Meditation Institute; Anita Burock-Stotts, MD, board certified in Internal Medicine; Janine Pardo MD, board certified in Internal Medicine, and Gustavo Grodnitzky PhD, Chair of the AMI Psychological Education Committee.

The conference core curriculum has been endorsed by medical pioneers Dean Ornish MD, Larry Dossey MD, and Bernie Siegel MD. According to Psychiatry physician and past participant Pamela Shervanick MD, “This conference is life changing! Everyone in every facet of life should experience this teaching. I’m so grateful to AMI for bringing truth to doctors with love and compassion. This is a light the world needs to see.”

F45 Chooses Uberall For a Fit, Future-Ready Local Digital Marketing Presence in the U.S.

F45 Training, a global fitness company, has chosen Uberall as its global solution for location marketing.

“Partnering with Uberall is a big step in our effort to support the growth of our franchisees. Now, our franchisees can spread the word about their studios more efficiently than ever before,” Brian Killingsworth, F45 Training CMO


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

F45 Training, a global fitness company, has chosen Uberall as its global solution for location marketing. Uberall CoreX, a leading local digital marketing platform, will help F45 reach its local digital marketing goals with an accurate and comprehensive, yet effortless approach to listings and reputation.

F45 Training transitioned from a competitive location marketing solution to Uberall CoreX given the platform’s superior location data accuracy and central location management capabilities. In addition, the team at F45 saw Uberall as not just a vendor, but a true partner, with extensive expertise in the franchise space. That know-how is crucial to helping the 2,000+ location chain and its franchise owners and investors, including actor Mark Wahlberg, continue to meet aggressive growth goals.

One of F45’s main goals is to ensure accuracy across listings, especially with rapid growth plans ahead—over the next two years, the company plans to nearly double in size. Complete and correct Google Business Profiles are key for F45, along with the ability to schedule new location openings 90 days in advance, which is possible thanks to Uberall’s direct partnership with Google.

“Partnering with Uberall is a big step in our effort to support the growth of our franchisees. Now, our franchisees can spread the word about their studios more efficiently than ever before through centralized management of all location listings as well as the ability to reply to reviews, all from one platform,” said Brian Killingsworth, F45 Training CMO. “We’ve been looking for a more robust solution for our studio listings, and we’ve found exactly that in Uberall.”

Using Uberall’s platform, F45 was able to remove 100s of duplicate listings and clean up inaccuracies. This improvement alone has had an immediate impact on the brand’s visibility on platforms like Google, Apple Maps, Instagram, Facebook, Yelp, and many more. In fact, in just a month’s time after the listings clean up, F45 has seen a 148% YoY increase in search impressions and a 72% YoY increase in map impressions. Meanwhile, Facebook clicks are up 144% YoY and impressions up 65% YoY. These early results are an indication of even more positive improvements to come.

“We’re thrilled to be F45’s franchise marketing solution of choice as they accelerate their global growth,” said Florian Huebner, CEO and Founder at Uberall. “As an admirer of Mark Wahlberg, one of the investors in the F45 brand, I’ve been closely following the success of the company, and it’s an honor to work with them. F45 is now well-equipped to achieve its growth goals and provide a seamless customer journey.”

Oshi Health Humanizes GI Suffering with New Patient Ambassador Program

Leave a comment


Oshi Health launches Ambassador Program

“I’m excited to share my journey with people experiencing similar symptoms. Please, don’t give up! The answer is out there, and I believe that Oshi Health can help you find that answer,” said Brenda Poarch, an Oshi Health member and Ambassador.


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

More than 70 million people in the U.S. suffer from gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, yet taboos around discussing digestive health publicly contribute to a lack of understanding around symptom control and effective treatments. To help, Oshi Health today launched a new patient ambassador program for digestive health.

Recent data from the American Gastroenterological Association shows that 1 out of 5 people would rather search online for information about their stomach problems than talk to anyone, including healthcare providers. If left untreated, symptoms often get worse.

Oshi’s ambassador program features patients willing to share their lived experiences and individual journeys to heal their chronic digestive symptoms. Its aim is to de-stigmatize digestive health broadly with frank and open discussion of GI issues while providing hope, kinship and education to fellow sufferers.

“Digestive health is a set of conditions where so many people suffer needlessly and silently,” said Oshi Health Chief Medical Officer Sameer Berry. “The discomfort in talking about these sensitive conditions hinders our ability to properly advocate for patients and the care models proven to improve outcomes.”

Digestive disorders are very common and have a high economic burden – more than diabetes or heart disease – driving more than $135 billion in annual healthcare costs. Patients with chronic GI disorders often lack access to multidisciplinary care from traditional providers, resulting in poor patient outcomes and avoidable emergency services.

Oshi Health’s multidisciplinary digestive care model is grounded in evidence-based, high-touch, whole-person care that includes often-neglected dietary and psychosocial interventions. Patients have frequent visits with their care team using telehealth tools to help them quickly achieve symptom control.

Brenda Poarch suffered for fifteen years with multiple misdiagnoses before finding relief for her IBS. After spending thousands of dollars seeking answers from various solutions, she began to lose hope and felt like a burden to her family.

“With the guidance of the Oshi team and just the right medications I am building back the life I once believed had been lost forever,” said Brenda. “I now rejoice and give God the glory for the simplest of pleasures such as the ability to eat out and travel. I’m excited to be an Ambassador for Oshi and to share my journey with people experiencing similar symptoms. Please, don’t give up! The answer is out there, and I believe that Oshi Health can help you find that answer.”

Oshi Ambassadors are also advocating within the healthcare industry. Johanna Esser will be sharing her story at the Virtual First Care Summit on June 23.

Oshi Health incorporates a care program that is clinically validated and recommended by the American College of Gastroenterology and American Gastroenterology Association, but is rarely implemented in clinical GI practices due to reimbursement and access challenges. The Oshi approach also works alongside traditional gastroenterology practices in a hybrid collaborative care model and is available 24×7 as a covered benefit by many national insurance plans.

Recent clinical trial results reported 98% satisfaction with the Oshi program. Eighty-nine percent (89%) of participants reported improvement in quality of life and 92% reported symptom improvement. Patients also reported 1.3 fewer missed workdays per month and demonstrated lower healthcare utilization including a 64% reduction in avoidable GI-related emergency department visits.

About Oshi Health

Oshi Health is a completely redesigned digestive health care experience that transforms access to care, the patient experience, clinical outcomes and healthcare economics. In a high-touch virtual care delivery model, Oshi Health provides diagnosis and integrated care for digestive conditions and empowers people to achieve lasting control of their symptoms. Launched in 2020, Oshi Health works with innovative employers, health insurance partners, health systems and community GI practices to scale access to multidisciplinary care, reduce healthcare costs, and improve the lives of millions of Americans with chronic gastrointestinal diseases.

“eCR Direct is committed to improving public health outcomes and patient care by providing a reliable and user-friendly reporting service to healthcare providers,” said Kevin Puscas, CTO of RosettaHealth.


WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

RosettaHealth, an innovative and secure, big health data interoperability platform, today announced that it has launched eCR Direct, a new solution that simplifies the submission of electronic case reports (eCR) to public health officials and agencies.

Using Direct Secure Messaging, eCR Direct offers secure and efficient reporting, a streamlined workflow, real-time data access, improved accuracy, as well as enhanced compliance.

eCR is the automated generation and transmission of case reports from electronic health records to public health agencies for review and action. Replacing traditional paper-based systems, it provides public health officials with real-time access to public health reports, which can help them identify and respond to outbreaks faster.

In addition, eCR Direct allows the Association of Public Health Laboratories’ (APHL) eCR Now FHIR App to be easily configured for Direct for transport. The eCR Now FHIR App was launched in 2020 to give public health officials a more detailed and real-time view of the spread of COVID-19.

“eCR Direct is committed to improving public health outcomes and patient care by providing a reliable and user-friendly reporting service to healthcare providers,” said Kevin Puscas, CTO of RosettaHealth.

Following are key benefits of eCR Direct:


  • Streamlined Reporting: eCR Direct automates the process of submitting public health reports, getting results, while also negotiating the Direct protocol.

  • Tracking and Diagnostic Reporting: The eCR reporting involves client systems, client HISP, APHL HISP, and APHL systems. This reporting quickly confirms HISP connectivity and the submission/results status, accelerating diagnostic activities.

  • Secure Reporting: eCR Direct uses HISPDirect’s secure messaging technology to ensure that all patient information is kept confidential and secure during the full reporting process.

  • Cost-Effective: The cloud-based, service-level account consolidated reporting is more cost-effective through the use of a single account versus multiple accounts. This also minimizes development and operational management.
