ApexNetwork Physical Therapy To Open Clinic in Irvine, KY

Leave a comment



IRVINE, Ky. (PRWEB)

ApexNetwork Physical Therapy, a leading provider of outpatient physical therapy, is opening a new clinic mid March in Irvine, KY. The new clinic is located at 1232 Richmond Road, Irvine, KY, which is the same shopping complex as Family Dollar and Save a Lot. Richmond Road is a main passage connecting residents with numerous businesses.

ApexNetwork is excited to provide exceptional care throughout Irvine and surrounding communities that its brand has become synonymous with. The clinic has advanced Connor Moran, DPT, currently of the ApexNetwork Frenchburg, KY, clinic as main licensed therapists and clinic manager. The clinic will offer a full spectrum of rehabilitative treatment and accept most major insurances.

Connor Moran, DPT, is a graduate of Ohio University with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Moran also achieved an undergraduate degree in sports medicine from Mercyhurst University. During his schooling, Moran did extensive training with neurologic rehab such as strokes, traumatic brain injuries, and progressive disorders like Parkinson’s Disease. Moran is also certified in Dry Needling which involves the use of fine needles into muscular trigger points causing the muscle to contract and release.

Connor Moran, DPT, states, “I started out as a travelling physical therapist for ApexNetwork Physical Therapy in Mount Sterling. It was supposed to be only a three-month contract but here I am! I chose to stay because the staff at Mount Sterling made me like I was part of their family. Interacting with their patients, I knew that they felt like they were a part of the ApexNetwork family too. When I was asked to join the team and manage the Irvine clinic when it opens, I jumped at the opportunity. I am excited to have the opportunity to bring the ApexNetwork family to Irvine, Kentucky where I can bring the best in rehabilitation to even more patients and build trust with a new community.”

During Moran’s free time he stays active training in jiu jitsu, playing volleyball and running obstacle course races and ultramarathons.

ApexNetwork Physical Therapy offers each patient quality, comprehensive treatment. Our licensed therapists create an individualized treatment plan to suit your specific needs. Our ultimate goal is to provide an unparalleled experience of health and wellness, encouragement, and quality service all in a comfortable and warm environment.

Our philosophy is quite simple – to be the best in rehabilitation. ApexNetwork Physical Therapy accepts all major insurance plans and provides a full spectrum of services including:

Physical Therapy


  • We treat a wide range of clinical diagnoses affecting the back, neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle, and foot. From injuries, sprains, and post-surgical rehabilitation, we focus on pain reduction, helping you reclaim your mobility and strength.

Sports Rehabilitation

  • Our customized sports rehabilitation programs focus on functional activities and sport specific training. We also help with injury prevention, management, and education, stretching programs, and sport & team-specific conditioning and training.

Industrial Rehabilitation

  • The Apex Comprehensive Occupational Management and Prevention (ACOMP®) is a full-spectrum industrial strength program that addresses every aspect from prevention to injury resolution. Our facilities have warehouse environments, allowing for unlimited job simulations and work-specific tasks. We also offer Work Hardening, Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs), Ergonomics, Injury Causational Analysis, and Job-Site Analysis.

Manual Therapy

  • Manual Therapy is exactly what it sounds like: the application of a specific skilled treatment, manually performed by the therapist. This type of therapy helps increase range of motion, induces relaxation, helps control pain, and reduces swelling or mobility restrictions.

Vestibular Rehabilitation

  • Individuals having problems related to dizziness and balance will likely benefit from Balance Therapy. Treatments may involve manual therapy and exercise-based therapy to help improve the vestibular balance system, while other exercises may be needed to improve balance control and reduce the risk of falling.

Dry Needling

  • Dry Needling can help reduce inflammation, decrease muscle tension, and ultimately relieve pain. A fine needle is placed into a muscular trigger point. Trigger points can make it painful to perform everyday activities and often radiate pain to other areas of the body. Once the needle is positioned, the muscle is able to contract and release. This practice can help treat pain, muscle strains or spasms, sciatica, tendonitis, headaches and whiplash, and TMJ or facial pain.


Free Injury Screen

  • During the screen, a licensed therapist will meet with you to discuss your condition and provide a brief assessment of your physical and functional abilities. The information collected will help provide insight into the best medical options for you.

If you are a patient, employer, physician, case manager, or insurance company, ApexNetwork Physical Therapy invites you to stop by for a visit. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please reference the following or visit http://www.apexnetworkpt.com.

Broadcastvision Entertainment Launches Affordable Energy-Saving 19” LED Personal Viewing Screen

Leave a comment



LONGMONT, Colo. (PRWEB)

Broadcastvision Entertainment (https://www.broadcastvision.com) launches the new, affordable 19” HD LED personal viewing widescreen, AXS19HD3. The AXS19HD3 has HDMI and COAX inputs and securely attaches to existing cardio equipment mounts, telescopic stands, or ceiling/wall mounts. Designed for cardio equipment, the AXS19HD3 is the perfect solution for clubs to add affordable entertainment to cardio equipment or to replace existing cardio TVs.

The AXS19HD3 is part of the Axcess line of fitness entertainment products and can be controlled using the Console Adapter Box (CAB) or the versatile Axcess Universal Controller. “If the club owner wants to update their existing TVs on their cardio equipment with our new 19” TV, the members will enjoy a much better viewing experience, and the TV can be controlled using the existing TV controls on the cardio equipment when using our CAB device,” says Mark Blake, COO of Broadcastvision Entertainment. “If an attached controller were used instead to operate the TV, then our attached ten-key Universal Controller would be used,” adds Blake. In addition to TV control options, both the CAB and the Universal Controller can control individual cable, satellite, or IPTV set-top boxes. This eliminates burdensome handheld remote controls and expensive modulation or MDTA Multiplexor systems. The exerciser obtains audio and controls the personal viewing screen exclusively through the Axcess Universal Controller.

The AXS19HD3 is an LED TV and uses energy-efficient light-emitting diodes (LED) for backlighting. LED TVs consume less power than cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) used in traditional LCD televisions and power savings are typically 20-30%. The Axcess Universal Controller also has an energy-saving auto-off feature that you can enable. This will not only save energy but will increase the life span of the TV.

Broadcastvision is your trusted manufacturer for high quality, commercial-grade fitness entertainment products including AudioFetch (TV audio to Apple and Android smartphones), CAB for cable, satellite and IPTV set-top box control, Axcess Universal Personal Screen Controller, 863MHz / 900MHz Wireless, FM Wireless, Large Screen TVs and Mounts, Sound Systems, Digital Signage, Branded Music and Messaging and Personal Viewing Screens.

Industry veteran Bill Ham to join the team at Broadwell Property Group

Leave a comment


To reach our goals in this industry we needed to have a person with his level of talent and experience leading the team


ORLANDO, Fla. (PRWEB)

It was announced at the 2020 National MultiFamily Housing Council Annual Meeting (NMHC) that Bill Ham will join the team at Atlanta based Broadwell Property Group as the company’s first Chief Operating Officer. Ham is a well-known, 15+ year veteran of the industry with a proven track record of superior results during both bull markets and bear.

Formerly a private jet pilot for a world-renowned surgeon, Ham left the Corporate Aviation life and started Phoenix Residential Group with a single duplex and a dream. Over more than a dozen years he grew that company to include more than 1500 units spread over the state of Georgia along with a thriving Property Management Company. Trying to anticipate the market cycle, he spent the next few years divesting of many of those assets at the peak of the market making his investors substantial returns on their investment. During his entire career he has been a coach and a mentor to dozens of young, soon-to-be industry titans where, even today, he continues to teach them the ups and downs of the multifamily marketplace.

“I am so proud, and quite humbled, to have Bill join our team,” said Broadwell Founder & CEO Tony Morgan. “To reach our goals in this industry we needed to have a person with his level of talent and experience leading the team, but people with that type of resume are very hard to find and extremely difficult to recruit”. In his role as COO, Ham will be involved in all areas of the company with a focus on Acquisition, Asset Management, and Disposition.

Bill Ham said, “As a coach and a mentor to multifamily students I have always highly recommended that they be part of a team and try to find partners that complement their talents. However, ironically, I have always run my operations alone. When given the opportunity to partner with a team like Broadwell who has big plans, is well funded, full of ambition, and allows me to do what I do best, it is simply a no brainer.”

Broadwell Property Group is a multifamily investment firm based in Atlanta, Georgia. The mission of BPG is to identify and acquire under preforming multifamily properties in key markets around the Southeast United States. BPG provides the cash and experience necessary to renovate and/or repopulate these assets transforming them into highly profitable ventures in desirable locations. By following the company’s core objectives (simply called, The BPG3), the newly repositioned assets will yield a better home for the resident families we serve, a better property for the neighborhoods and communities we serve, and will command a superior return on investment for the investors and owners we serve.

HARTFORD, Conn. (PRWEB)

Flamingo Ai Limited, an Australian-based Artificial Intelligence (AI) company with operations in both Australia and the US, is pleased to announce the granting of a patent for its Semi-supervised Question Answering Machine.

Flamingo Ai is now the owner of Australian Patent No. 2018223010. This patent sets out the algorithms that Flamingo Ai uses for the semi-supervised machine learning engine to propagate answer weights around a question space.

The patent covers the core technology used in the company’s proprietary software solution, the Intelligent Knowledge Sharing Hub, used by enterprises in the Australian and US markets. These rights last 20 years until August 30, 2038. The patent is also currently awaiting examination in the US.

Dr Jack Elliott, the inventor of the technology, notes: “Flamingo Ai’s conversational intelligence relies on a novel form of semi-supervised machine learning. This technique combines supervised and unsupervised machine learning to give the best of both worlds, the rapid learning of unsupervised learning associated with the tight control of supervised approaches.”

Flamingo Ai built its own AI engine to overcome traditional AI technology challenges such as the need for large data sets, a high level of human intervention, the use of either only supervised or unsupervised machine learning approaches and ‘black box’ AI.

Flamingo Ai’s technology requires no data set to get started, learns while being utilized, augments humans and facilitates collaboration. Olivier Cauderlier, CEO & Managing Director, Flamingo AI, stated, “It acts much like a digital ‘Knowledge Service Desk agent’ with the software being the digital subject matter expert much like a non-biological brain.”

The Flamingo Ai product is suited to any teams and organizations, where performance and success rely on providing the right information at the right time at scale. It facilitates compliant information sharing, collaboration, improves customer experience, reduces operating costs and offers organization with a unique understanding of knowledge and information sharing gaps across employees, teams, channel partners and consumer interactions.

Leave a comment


SGH Co-Founder Howard Simpson

Howard Simpson

Howard Simpson set the standard for SGH. His critical thinking, technical expertise, and leadership were guideposts for SGH for his entire career and continue to inspire us today.


WALTHAM, Mass. (PRWEB)

Howard Simpson, a founder and first president of Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH), died on 23 January 2020. Dr. Simpson established SGH in 1956 along with Frank Heger and Werner Gumpertz. His expertise in structural engineering and mechanics as applied to precision structures – such as radars, antennas, and radio and optical telescopes – and development of computer models of significant structures led SGH to quickly become one of the leading firms for solving complex engineering problems in structural mechanics. Dr. Simpson’s brilliant and business-minded outlook strongly contributed to the company’s success during his tenure as SGH’s first Chief Executive Officer (CEO) from 1983 to 1995 and as the head of the firm’s Engineering Mechanics division until 1989.

“Howard Simpson set the standard for SGH. His critical thinking, technical expertise, and leadership were guideposts for SGH for his entire career and continue to inspire us today,” said Charles Russo, SGH CEO and Senior Principal.

Dr. Simpson entered Cornell at the age of sixteen, where he earned his B.C.E. with Distinction. After serving in the U.S. Navy, he attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he earned both his S.M. and his Sc.D. in Civil Engineering. He served as a professor at MIT for twelve years, where he taught graduate courses in reinforced concrete, shell design, and structural analysis. He then brought his expertise in these fields to SGH, where his perseverance and technical acuity led to groundbreaking accomplishments on notable projects, such as NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center in 1963, the Multiple Mirror Telescope at the Whipple Observatory in 1975, and the MIT Lincoln Laboratory Haystack radar antenna.

Dr. Simpson remained very active in his profession throughout his career, serving as a member and leader of many professional associations, including the American Society of Civil Engineers, Boston Society of Civil Engineers, Applied Technology Council, American Association for the Advancement of Science, Building Seismic Safety Council, American Arbitration Association, American Concrete Institute, and New York Academy of Sciences.

“Howard was a leader and innovator who helped push the AEC industry in many ways, including using computers in finite element analysis,” said Mehdi Zarghamee, SGH Senior Principal. “He set a great and lasting example for his peers at SGH and for all future engineers.”

Aside from his prestigious career and accomplishments, Howard had a true passion for traveling, poetry, and photography. He brought his enthusiasm for art and painting to SGH, where he co-led a museum art-lending program at the company’s headquarters.

BPM+ Health Revises Field Guide to Sharable Clinical Pathways

Leave a comment


https://www.bpm-plus.org/


NEEDHAM, Mass. (PRWEB)

BPM+ Health, a community initiative to improve the quality and consistency of healthcare delivery, announced today that it has released version 2 of its “Field Guide to Shareable Clinical Pathways.” The guide, which is based on three OMG process modeling standards, aims to create structured, multidisciplinary plans of care designed to support the implementation of clinical guidelines and protocols. The goal of the field guide is to enable modeling of multi-team processes within organizations and sharing processes between organizations. This field guide is targeted at healthcare professional staff with responsibility for capturing, documenting, vetting, and deploying processes and workflows within an organization.

“The latency from a research discovery to make its way through to the bedside as part of clinical practice takes on the order of 15 years. Critical to our advancing as a market sector is reducing that latency and providing the tools to assure that those best-practices are accurately and effectively used,” said Ken Rubin, Acting Executive Director at BPM+ Health, and Director of Standards and Interoperability, Office of Knowledge-based Systems, U.S. Veterans Health Administration. “The field guide provides the foundational underpinning to making this a reality for processes and workflows. It has a crucial role to play in improving the quality and consistency of health care, not only within the same institution, but across organizations as patient needs dictate.”

The guide is based on the following OMG standards: Business Process Model and Notation™ (BPMN™), Case Management Model and Notation™ (CMMN™) and Decision Model and Notation™ (DMN™). BPMN is a well-defined standard that creates workflow diagrams to promote a common understanding of their meaning by different participants. CMMN complements BPMN with additional capabilities for unstructured behaviors triggered and continuously influenced by the information flowing into the case. DMN provides an understandable table format to model the combinations of factors that must be considered for complex, clinical decisions.

The use of these three modeling standards, particularly BPMN, is well established in business. With these methods, not only are the guidelines readily shareable, but the models have clear computational semantics. This means they can be programmatically tested, verified and deployed to the healthcare enterprise, which in turn, helps drive high-quality of care and reduce costs. Denis Gagne, BPM+ Health Ambassador, and CEO and CTO of Trisotech, said, “Using a combination of BPMN, CMMN and DMN disambiguates the creation and interpretation of clinical guidelines, allowing these guidelines to be delivered as a single, visual knowledge artefact for both clinician consumption and machine automation.”

To further promote the best practices outlined in the Field Guide to Sharable Clinical Practices, OMG launched the BPM+ Health Community this past September. Some of the most trusted names in clinical healthcare, including healthcare providers and vendors, have joined the BPM+ Health Community to improve the efficiency and quality of clinical health care on a consistent, industry-wide basis by HIT.

Please come talk to BPM+ Health ambassadors at HIMSS20 from March 9-13, 2020, Orlando, FL. A listing of BPM+ Health events, registration and information can be found here. A full list of contributors to the Field Guide to Sharable Clinical Practices V2 can be found in the acknowledgement section on page 5 of the guide.

About BPM+ Health

BPM+ Health is a community initiative to improve the quality and consistency of healthcare delivery. It will achieve this by applying business process modeling standards to clinical best practices, care pathways and workflows directly at the point of care. It is a cross-discipline group of professional organizations, clinical societies and healthcare providers working together to develop and pilot standards-driven healthcare process automation techniques to fully realize the benefits of Healthcare IT. BPM+ Health is a program of the Object Management Group® (OMG®). Visit https://www.bpm-plus.org/ for more information.
