BOSTON (PRWEB)

uMotif – one of the clinical trial technology market’s fastest growing companies – reiterated its status as the pacesetter in next-generation eCOA/ePRO by welcoming SAFIRA Clinical Research Co-founder and international eClinical technology expert Willie Muehlhausen as a Scientific Advisor.

uMotif’s highly scalable eCOA/ePRO platform combines deep clinical knowledge and consumer design expertise to deliver unprecedented levels of patient compliance, regularly achieving greater than 90% data capture in real-world studies. Over 20+ years, Willie Muehlhausen has earned a reputation as a strategic thinker, serial entrepreneur and visionary in patient-facing clinical research technologies at organizations in Germany, the UK, Ireland and the US. He is known for his ability to ideate and develop groundbreaking new product lines and commercial models.

uMotif CEO Steve Rosenberg (LinkedIn) said, “We’re delighted to welcome Willie Muehllhausen to uMotif as a Scientific Advisor. He has a remarkable track record of advancing technologies that make clinical trials run faster and smoother for sponsors, CROs, sites and patients. And he’s earned a stellar reputation as an independent arbiter of emerging eClinical technologies.”

As early as 2004, Muehlhausen’s insights into patient-centric questionnaire validation had a positive impact on the way regulators and the industry approached eCOA, which paved the way for the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) research model. He co-founded SAFIRA Clinical Research in 2021 to offer services to decentralized clinical trial technology vendors, sponsors and CROs. SAFIRA Clinical Research has become the go-to organization for providing unbiased, independent, scientific technology and product evaluations.

Prior to SAFIRA Clinical Research, Muehlhausen was Founder and Managing Director of Muehlhausen Ltd, where he advised sponsors, vendors, investment companies and researchers on digitization strategies for remote and virtual clinical trials. He conducted pioneering research on direct-to-patient models including BYOD, eCOA and wearables.

Also previously, Muehlhausen was with ICON plc for several years, most recently as VP and Head of Innovation. His achievements included the ICONIK toolset for proactively managing clinical trials; ICON’s eCOA solution; ICHOM GLOBE, a leading initiative in healthcare and outcomes research; and wearable devices.

Willie Muehlhausen commented, “I have always been impressed by uMotif’s insights and expertise, and their ability to consistently take important steps forward in delivering next-generation eCOA/ePRO solutions that make quantifiable improvements in research, by truly engaging patients. For example, late last year SAFIRA Clinical Research independently and scientifically validated the Motif data capture method as the first alternative to text-based instruments for clinical, post-marketing and real-world research. It gives researchers a new way to encourage patients to capture data, through a more visually appealing interface.”

At ISPOR 2023, May 8 in Boston, Muehlhausen will present a poster, “The First Validated Innovation in Scale Design Since the Migration to Screens: Results of an Equivalence Study, Testing a New Graphical Version of the Widely Used Verbal Rating Scale,” based on SAFIRA’s evaluation of the Motif.

Muehlhausen has served as Vice Director of the eCOA Consortium/Critical Path Institute (C-Path). His industry recognition includes being named one of the PharmaVOICE 100 most influential people in life sciences, and winning a CenterWatch Top 20 Innovator award.

22 Salute™ CEO Eric Ranks Opens Up About Health Struggles in the Growth of his Company

Leave a comment



OGDEN, Utah (PRWEB)

Eric Ranks recently shared details about his own health issues while in the early stages of creating his award winning vodka, 22 Salute Vodka ‘With A Purpose’™. Eric was diagnosed with leukemia before age 6 and struggled with depression. He was suicidal and after his divorce, nearly ended his life with an accidental overdose of antidepressants.

Eric was initially drawn to the topic of veteran health after managing a team of employees that had served overseas. He watched in anger as the VA refused to cover injuries caused by Agent Orange to a friend. Eric had been raised in a military family and in 2012, he left corporate America and started his non profit, The Veteran’s Connection™. Its initial mission was to help speed up the process to help veterans receive their benefits.

In 2015, Eric suffered internal bleeding and was rushed to the ER for life saving blood transfusions. He was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and with the help of a ketogenic diet, was able to stabilize his condition. The next few years would again challenge Eric’s spirit as he faced a ruptured esophagus and survived a life threatening surgery.

Eric dedicated his efforts to suicide prevention and veteran support with his non profit and his 22 Salute Spirits and Coffee ‘With A Purpose’™. Eric’s mission was forged by his many health scares and it gave him a vision of what his life should be: dedication to helping others in need. Where most people would find struggle with health issues, it gave Eric purpose.

“I have been through many challenges, including health scares, an accidental overdose and a surgery that nearly cost me my life. I want to encourage all veterans and first responders to keep fighting. I believe in you.” – Eric Ranks, CEO of 22 Salute Spirits and Coffee™

Protect Environmental and the American Lung Association Announce National Partnership to Prevent Radon-Induced Lung Cancer

Leave a comment


Exposure to radon at 4.0 picocuries equals 200 chest X-rays per year or 8 cigarettes per day. EPA recommends fixing your home

Know your number – learn how radon could impact your health

“Radon in homes is more common than you think. In fact, every state in the U.S. has homes measured with radon levels above the recommended levels,” Deb Brown, chief mission officer for the American Lung Association said.


LOUISVILLE, Ky. (PRWEB)

Protect Environmental, in conjunction with the American Lung Association, announced today the national partnership between the two organizations to prevent radon-induced lung cancer. The announcement comes during the kickoff of Lung Cancer Action Week, an initiative focused on raising awareness and building support for improved lung health. Exposure to radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, second only to smoking, and is responsible for more than 21,000 annual deaths in the United States.

“Radon in homes is more common than you think. In fact, every state in the U.S. has homes measured with radon levels above the recommended levels. Since it is odorless, tasteless, and colorless, all indoor spaces should be tested regardless of geographic location and building type,” said Deb Brown, chief mission officer for the American Lung Association. “This is why we are thankful for our partnership with Protect Environmental to help raise awareness about radon and provide testing for more people. Together we hope to reduce the burden of lung cancer caused by radon.”

As part of the national partnership, Protect Environmental will provide its National Radon Risk Search™ tool and offer no-cost professional testing to assist American Lung Association supporters with understanding the radon risk in their communities and homes. The organizations will also partner to amplify national, state, and local policy initiatives that impact lung health, with Protect Environmental pledging more than $100,000 to support these joint efforts.

“The American Lung Association has been a long-time friend of Protect Environmental, and we are excited to be expanding our relationship through this strategic partnership,” said Kyle Hoylman, chief executive officer of Protect Environmental and a member of the American Lung Association’s Local Leadership Board in Kentucky. “Joining forces with the leading lung health advocate in our country will amplify our efforts to increase awareness about the dangers of radon gas exposure, with the ultimate goal of saving lives by preventing radon-induced lung cancer.”

To learn more about the radon risk in your community, use the National Radon Risk Search ™ tool. To better understand the radon risk in your own home, request no-cost professional testing conducted by one of Protect Environmental’s trusted professionals.

You Do Not Have to Make a Choice Between God and Science

This book shows that science and faith aren’t in mutual opposition, but highly complementary.


FAIRFIELD, Conn. (PRWEB)

Author James A. Cannon, Ph.D. explains the faith behind physics in Finding the Light: Science and its Vision ($15.99, paperback, 9781662865787; $29.99, dust jacket, 9781662865794; $7.99, e-book, 9781662865800).

Contrary to the popular belief that science opposes Christian faith, Cannon teaches that historical physical science, as well as modern physics, follow faith’s universal promptings within the human heart. He demonstrates how both have flourished together in the lives of prominent scientists throughout history, and argues that faith in God is a guardian of classical realism, the philosophical foundation of science.

This book shows that science and faith aren’t in mutual opposition, but highly complementary.

Dr. James A Cannon (b.1933 – d.2020), after serving in the US Navy during the Korean war, studied and practiced journalism as managing editor of the Fordham University newspaper. Then he switched his area of concentration to physics. He earned an MA at Columbia and a B.S. and Ph.D. at Fordham. He did basic research at Bell Labs, but having the heart of a teacher, he left to pursue a career spanning five decades as a revered professor of physics and chemistry at Pace University in New York. A neurological injury led to retirement. He suffered for a dozen years until complications from Parkinson’s and Covid-19 took his life. During this time, with of the able assistance of his devoted wife, Monica, Dr. Cannon wrote Finding the Light: Science and its Vision, a testament to his life’s work, his Catholic faith, his love of science and his love of teaching.

Xulon Press, a division of Salem Media Group, is the world’s largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 15,000 titles published to date.Finding the Light is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.
