Oshi Health Announces Agreement with WTW to Give Employers Access to Comprehensive Digestive Health Support for Their Employees


Recent studies show that 72% of people in the United States experience GI symptoms more than a few times per month and only 1 in 4 are diagnosed. Even fewer are receiving appropriate care, driving significant avoidable spend. Highlights from the WTW 2023 Best Practices Survey show that 37% of employers are planning to deploy a digestive health solution by 2025, one of the fastest growing employer priorities across all health specialties, and that this is a top-five medical spend category for employers.

WTW’s Chantell Sell Reagan, PharmD, said, “We are pleased to offer our clients an innovative digestive health solution with Oshi following our successful pilot with them last year.”

Oshi Health conducted pilots with several WTW employer clients during 2022. The pilots resulted in strong results including member satisfaction, symptom improvement and resolution. They also demonstrated the transformational role employers can play in employees’ digestive health and overall wellbeing by providing the program. Based on these results, all of the clients participating have chosen to contract with Oshi Health.

Oshi Health provides a company’s employees and adult dependents access to virtual appointments with GI physicians and providers, licensed dietitians, and behavioral health specialists who all work collaboratively through care iterations, along with 24×7 phone and messaging support; food and symptom tracking; and coordination for in-person care when required for infusions, procedures, and more.    

With Oshi, WTW clients will have easy access to digestive care that has been proven effective. Clients can contract directly with Oshi, or they can access it through select health plans thereby eliminating the need for a separate contract.

“Chronic digestive health conditions are a stigmatized, growing epidemic and a significant cost-driver for corporate America – and most importantly, a category marked by debilitating and prolonged suffering that is avoidable,” said Sam Holliday, Oshi Health CEO. “We applaud WTW for prioritizing digestive health, and helping their employer clients realize the full scope of the addressable opportunity for cost savings with an effective digestive care program.”

Oshi Health’s hybrid, total GI approach has been validated by unique investments from both leading GI medical associations: the American Gastroenterology Association (AGA) and the American College Gastroenterology (ACG). Clinical trial results recently presented at the ACG Annual 2023 Scientific Meeting demonstrated 98% patient satisfaction and 92% of members achieving symptom control while realizing $10,262 in all-cause medical cost savings per patient.

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.

OOVA Launches Perimenopause Hormone Kit, First-of-its-Kind Estrogen Biomarker and App with Real-Time Data Tracking


The women’s health platform is the only remote hormone monitoring company trusted and used by physicians

NEW YORK, Dec. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Oova, Inc., the leading women’s health platform revolutionizing remote hormone monitoring, announced today the launch of its at-home Perimenopause Hormone Kit. The kit is complete with urine-based, multi-hormone biomarkers including estrogen (E3G) and an app with real-time data tracking. Unlike other options on the market, which rely on blood or FSH-only urine tests that only capture a moment in time, Oova users are able to measure their actual hormone fluctuations across a 15-day period throughout a single cycle and their progress month-over-month. This gives women and their physicians insights into their perimenopause journey.

The test strips are scanned into Oova’s HIPPA-compliant app which utilizes advanced AI and machine learning to interpret the scan into quantitative results, which can be understood by patients and clinicians alike. By interpreting the quantitative levels over time, Oova’s predictive algorithms begin to learn the nuances of every woman’s unique hormone profile to help her achieve her health goal. Insights include measuring perimenopausal hormone activity, tracking unique physical symptoms, indicating fertility and confirming ovulation for those trying to conceive during perimenopause. It also enables monitoring of hormone patterns for those beginning Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Patients can also share their data with clinicians in real-time, from the comfort of home.

“There are significant gaps in hormone health research, especially as it relates to perimenopause,” said Amy Divaraniya, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of OOVA. “We know doctors and patients alike are missing methods to pinpoint where someone is in their journey and identify how symptoms correspond to hormone changes, which often leaves women navigating this life phase in the dark. With the Perimenopause Hormone Kit, women can better understand their bodies, while tracking data that empowers them to make informed decisions with their physicians.”

“Oova’s test serves as a significant leap forward in healthcare,” said Dr. Beck Hoehn, LAc, FABORM, Mighty River Wellness, Advisor to Oova. “In this stage of women’s health that has traditionally been passed over, Oova’s perimenopause kit equips both the patient and clinician with real-time, accurate insight needed to navigate the complexities with confidence and clarity. It’s a game-changer.”

Oova stands out as the only remote hormone monitoring company working directly with clinicians, and conducting medical studies to support its claims. Founded by Amy Divaraniya, Ph.D., an expert in biomedical sciences with a focus on genetics, the company began with ovulation tracking for fertility. With a recent $10.3M fundraise, Oova is continuing to expand its scope to support women through every stage, age and life phase, from their first period to their last and beyond.

The launch of the E3G biomarker expands upon Oova’s current physician-preferred fertility monitoring offering of luteinizing hormone (LH) and progesterone (PdG) biomarkers to complete the Perimenopause Hormone Kit. The Perimenopause Hormone Kit ($159.99), retailing online and in store at Village Pharmacy, includes 15 E3G tests and 15 LH/PdG hormone tests , designed to be used over the course of a month for a detailed and comprehensive picture of hormone behavior. Also available is The Oova Perimenopause Membership Kit ($129.99/month) for an ongoing test strip subscription with full-circle support from Oova’s hormone specialists and access to the Oova community.

To learn more about Oova and its perimenopause offering, visit oova.life.

About Oova, Inc.
Oova, the women’s health platform revolutionizing remote hormone monitoring, fully illuminates women’s fertility and perimenopause journeys, giving them and their care team the clearest steps forward. Founded by doctors and backed by Mount Sinai Hospital, Oova has created a consumer-first, data-driven experience valuable to patients and healthcare providers. Oova’s at-home kits measure luteinizing hormone, progesterone, and estrogen for fertility, to immediately inform a woman of her most fertile days and confirm ovulation, and for perimenopause to provide clarity on symptoms and changes. By delivering advanced personalized analytics and real-time action plans with every hormone reading, Oova is transforming the fertility and perimenopause care experience. Learn more at oova.life.

SandboxAQ Funds Two Full Scholarships for Trinity College Dublin’s Quantum Science and Technology Master’s Program


Ongoing collaboration helps train the future quantum workforce and bring greater diversity to the quantum ecosystem

DUBLIN, Dec. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Continuing its mission to support quantum education and train a diverse future quantum workforce, SandboxAQ today announced it will be funding two full scholarships for Trinity College Dublin’s Master’s program in Quantum Science and Technology. The two “Trinity AQ Scholarships” will enable under-represented students to gain the advanced practical skills and knowledge needed to pursue future careers in AI and quantum (AQ) technologies.

Launched in 2021, Trinity College Dublin’s MSc Quantum Science and Technology degree comprises two semesters of intensive classes and a summer internship in a leading quantum hub such as the United States, Canada, France, and other countries. Starting in the Fall 2024 semester, the Trinity AQ Scholarship Program will cover tuition, living expenses, visa fees, and travel, providing a comprehensive support system for recipients throughout the one-year program. Students seeking information or to apply for the scholarship may visit https://www.tcd.ie/physics/quantumtech/scholarships/.

The scholarship program continues the collaboration between SandboxAQ and Trinity College Dublin to help grow a more diverse quantum workforce. In February, the two organizations co-hosted a two-day Diversity in Quantum event with DiviQ, providing participants from underrepresented groups with the information, communities, connections, and opportunities necessary to pursue quantum careers.

“As quantum science and technology is advancing around the globe, it is crucial to reduce entry barriers for students who are keen to become tomorrow’s experts in the field. SandboxAQ’s generous scholarships provide a wonderful opportunity for scholars from the Global South to embark on their journey into Quantum Science together with their peers from around the world. We look forward to welcoming them to Trinity”, says Prof. Felix Binder, Course Director of the MSc in Quantum Science and Technology and Assistant Professor in the School of Physics.

“Creating greater opportunities for women and under-represented communities in STEM and technology careers is incredibly important to Trinity, and for the growth and sustainability of the quantum ecosystem and technology sector overall,” said John Goold, Director of Trinity Quantum Alliance and Associate Professor in Trinity’s School of Physics, who delivered the scholarship program on the Trinity side, and who has worked closely with SandboxAQ over the past year. “We’re grateful to have visionary partners like SandboxAQ who understand the need for advanced STEM education and are investing in the future success of our students.”‥

“It’s an honor to support Trinity College Dublin in helping shape the future leaders of the AQ industry,” said Marianna Bonanome, Head of External Education Programs at SandboxAQ. “The Trinity AQ Scholarship Program is part of a larger initiative to help address the increasing global need for highly skilled AQ professionals. Through partners like Trinity College Dublin, we aim to foster greater diversity and innovation in quantum education, which will benefit the students and the entire quantum ecosystem.”

“To address the growing quantum and AI skills gap, we need to leverage all available human capital by reskilling and upskilling existing talent and extending education opportunities to traditionally underrepresented groups,” said Jack D. Hidary, CEO of SandboxAQ. “We hope this scholarship program with Trinity College Dublin will inspire others in the quantum industry to invest directly in increasing access and opportunity for more underrepresented groups to pursue a quantum education, which will help grow the quantum ecosystem.”

SandboxAQ’s education initiatives include relationships with dozens of universities and other organizations around the world. These institutions collaborate with SandboxAQ – either formally or informally – to expand their AI, quantum and STEM curricula; sponsor quantum labs and PhD candidates; host educational seminars; and provide students and postdoctoral researchers with grants, fellowships, mentorship, and hands-on experience working with cutting-edge AQ solutions. SandboxAQ has trained hundreds of graduate students and postdocs from 15 countries via its Residency Program, which embeds students directly into a SandboxAQ team using AQ technologies to solve real-world business and societal challenges.

Professor Lorraine Leeson, Associate Vice Provost for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, Trinity College Dublin, added: “I greatly welcome SandboxAQ’s commitment to fostering diversity in Quantum Science and Technology education through these two Trinity AQ Scholarships. This initiative aligns with Trinity’s mission to create inclusive opportunities that provide opportunities for students to flourish and excel, and, through the Trinity AQ Scholarships, work towards ensuring a quantum workforce that reflects the rich tapestry of global talent.”

Unraveling the Essentials of Healthcare Regulatory Compliance in Florida


In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, regulatory compliance stands as a cornerstone for ensuring the delivery of safe, effective, and high-quality patient care. Understanding the intricacies of compliance in healthcare, particularly in states like Florida, is essential for healthcare providers and organizations. In this blog, we’ll delve into the concept of regulatory compliance in healthcare, with a specific focus on its significance in Florida and the role of regulatory compliance services in ensuring adherence to state-specific standards.

MIAMI, Dec. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, regulatory compliance stands as a cornerstone for ensuring the delivery of safe, effective, and high-quality patient care. Understanding the intricacies of compliance in healthcare, particularly in states like Florida, is essential for healthcare providers and organizations. In this blog, we’ll delve into the concept of regulatory compliance in healthcare, with a specific focus on its significance in Florida and the role of regulatory compliance services in ensuring adherence to state-specific standards.

Defining Compliance in Healthcare:

Compliance in healthcare refers to the process of adhering to laws, regulations, guidelines, and standards set by government bodies and other authoritative organizations. It encompasses a wide range of areas, including patient care, privacy, billing, and the overall operations of healthcare entities. The primary goal of healthcare regulatory compliance is to safeguard patients, maintain the integrity of healthcare services, and uphold ethical standards within the industry.

The Regulatory Landscape in Healthcare:

The healthcare sector operates within a complex web of federal, state, and local regulations. In Florida, regulatory compliance is particularly crucial, given the state’s commitment to ensuring the highest standards of healthcare delivery. From licensing requirements for healthcare professionals to specific regulations governing healthcare facilities, Florida has a comprehensive framework in place to oversee and regulate the healthcare industry.

Healthcare Regulatory Compliance in Florida:

Florida’s healthcare regulatory landscape is multifaceted, covering a spectrum of areas that impact both individual practitioners and healthcare organizations. Key aspects of healthcare regulatory compliance in Florida include licensure requirements, patient privacy laws (such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act or HIPAA), billing and coding regulations, and standards for the quality of care provided.

Regulatory Compliance Services in Florida:

Navigating the intricate web of healthcare regulations in Florida can be a daunting task for healthcare providers. Regulatory compliance services play a pivotal role in assisting healthcare organizations in meeting and maintaining compliance standards. These services often include thorough assessments of current practices, development of customized compliance programs, staff training, and ongoing monitoring to ensure continuous adherence to regulatory requirements.

The Significance of Regulatory Compliance in Florida:

Ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations in Florida is not merely a matter of avoiding legal repercussions; it is about safeguarding the well-being of patients and upholding the integrity of the healthcare system. Non-compliance can result in legal consequences, financial penalties, damage to reputation, and, most importantly, compromised patient care. By prioritizing regulatory compliance, healthcare providers contribute to building trust among patients, fostering a culture of ethical practice, and ultimately enhancing the overall quality of healthcare services in the state.

Healthcare regulatory compliance is an ever-present responsibility for healthcare providers and organizations, particularly in a state like Florida with robust regulatory frameworks. Embracing the principles of compliance not only ensures legal adherence but also elevates the standard of patient care. Regulatory compliance services in Florida serve as invaluable partners in this journey, providing guidance and support to navigate the complex regulatory landscape and ultimately contribute to a healthcare environment that prioritizes safety, transparency, and excellence.
