Valencell Launches World’s First Calibration-Free Blood Pressure Sensor System for Hearables and Wearables

Valencell blood pressure technology

Blood pressure monitoring from the ear


LAS VEGAS (PRWEB)

Valencell today announced the availability of the world’s first calibration-free blood pressure (BP) sensor system for integration in hearables and wearables. Valencell will provide the BP sensor system as a core technology to medical device and consumer electronics manufacturers for inclusion in their products. Embedded in an earbud reference design, the technology has demonstrated BP cuff-like accuracy through rigorous testing on thousands of patients and tens of thousands of datasets. The technology can recognize hypertension with 89% accuracy, which is more accurate than comparable technologies available today, and provides BP readings within +/-8mmHg for qualified datasets. In addition, the sensor system requires no calibration of any kind, meaning no BP cuff is ever needed to use this technology.

This breakthrough technology uses only photoplethysmography (PPG) and inertial sensors – no ECG, pulse transit time or other sensor modalities are used. It allows someone wearing an earbud to get accurate BP readings throughout the day, for example while they are at their desk at work, listening to music, or watching television, all without the hassle of putting on a BP cuff.

In the fall of 2019, Valencell conducted a clinical research study to validate the accuracy of the BP sensor system adhering to the ISO 81060-2(2018) standard for noninvasive BP cuffs. The results of that study have been accepted to be presented at the American College of Cardiology Annual Scientific Session in March 2020 in a session titled: “Biometric Audio Earbuds Produce Cuff-Like Accuracy in Monitoring Blood Pressure”.

“We are very excited to announce the availability of this technology for a few reasons: 1) we see tremendous public health value for over one billion people with hypertension in measuring blood pressure in devices people are wearing everyday anyway, 2) providing cuff-level accuracy without the cuff in a sensor system that can be embedded in many different form factors and devices is truly groundbreaking,” said Dr. Steven LeBoeuf, Valencell president and co-founder. “Valencell has been working on this technology for many years and we look forward to working with our partners to integrate this technology in their next devices.”

The BP sensor system was developed in partnership with Valencell’s strategic partner Sonion. Sonion and Valencell are also working on a version of this technology optimized for hearing aids and hearing health devices. Additionally, Valencell is conducting ongoing research and development to enable the technology in other form factors and body locations, including the finger and wrist.

There is tremendous potential public health value in getting more people to measure their BP more often. According to the World Health Organization, over one billion people around the world have hypertension and in the US the CDC estimates one-third of those with hypertension don’t even know it. Compounding the problem is the fact that BP cuffs are hard to use and they come with a stigma. If technology like this can start measuring BP in the background with devices that people already use daily, it can start making a dent in a massive global health problem.

The technology is being demonstrated at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas starting today in Valencell booth #44313. The BP sensor system is available to integrate into hearables and wearables starting in February 2020.

Atascadero Insurance Agent Releases The Report, ‘Top Benefits Of Renter’s Insurance’

Leave a comment


renter insurance Atascadero

Without renter’s insurance, the tenant stands the chance to lose personal property in the event of a fire at home and is vulnerable to being sued if a visitor falls in the home or the family dog takes a nip even in play.


PASO ROBLES, Calif. (PRWEB)

Renter’s insurance is an important safety net for tenants, basically because the landlord’s insurance protects the landlord, not the renter. John Donovan, the insurance agent providing renters insurance in Atascadero, said, “Renter’s insurance protects you, your family and your property from loss and from liabilities when someone is injured at your home.”

Without renter’s insurance, the tenant stands the chance to lose personal property in the event of a fire at home and is vulnerable to being sued if a visitor falls in the home or the family dog takes a nip even in play.

Renter’s insurance provides valuable coverage in several ways, including:


  • Additional living expenses coverage if your home is uninhabitable after a disaster and you need to rent another home or stay in a hotel.

  • Medical expenses for injured guests, up to the limits of the policy. Accidents happen and even the best of friends are going to need their medical bills covered if they are injured while visiting.

  • Something your child breaks at the neighbor’s house, or something you accidentally drop and damage while visiting a friend can be covered by renter’s insurance. This coverage can also include items you have borrowed or rented, such as tools.

  • Theft or vandalism to your property caused by another.

  • Legal costs (up to the policy limits) if you are sued for an injury to someone else.

  • Most renters’ insurance covers dog bites if your dog bites someone either at home or somewhere else. Sometimes renter’s insurance limits coverage for dogs, so discuss your dog with your insurance agent.

  • Personal property loss away from home such as items stolen from your vehicle or a hotel room

People usually have more assets than they think and those are usually worth more than they think, too. Even the cost of replacing a basic wardrobe and furniture adds up very quickly, especially when it is all lost at once in a fire or flood. Even if a fire is caused by the landlord’s negligence, it can take a very long time to be reimbursed and taking legal action is often more costly than most people can afford.

In addition to renter’s insurance, everyone with valuable possessions, such as jewelry, family heirlooms or collectibles should consider an additional personal articles policy.

Donovan and his Atascadero insurance team are ready to answer questions about renter’s or business insurance, vehicle, life insurance or any other insurance need. A meeting with an agent can help you organize a list of what you need to insure and get the appropriate coverage to protect yourself and your family.

Businesswoman Alexandra Arrivillaga DeCastro starts off 2020 with the launch of Latin Touch Agency

” Success means making meaningful work that promotes inclusivity”


BOSTON (PRWEB)

Businesswoman Alexandra Arrivillaga DeCastro Starts off 2020 with the Launch of LatinTouch Agency.

LatinTouch Agency is a new endeavor for Boston entrepreneur Alexandra Arrivillaga DeCastro. The company will have offices in Massachusetts.

Today, Alexandra Arrivillaga DeCastro announced the launch of LatinTouch Agency. The core initiative of LatinTouch Agency is to ensure Latinos are positively represented in the business world. Ms. DeCastro has a background in consulting management, security, and communications that will support LatinTouch Agency’s goals. Prior to forming LatinTouch Agency, Ms. DeCastro was the CEO and Founder of Owl Management Consulting, LLC, Proplex 5, LLC, Social Biz, LLC and Lock It Up Security, LLC.

When asked why the need for such a company, Ms. DeCastro replied, “I saw that Latinos weren’t fully represented in all businesses. I want business leaders to see that Latinos are not the stereotype that was assigned to them.” As a Latin professional, she will help other Latinos who have faced discrimination as a consumer as well as an entrepreneur. Ms. DeCastro strongly believes in being authentic and consults with Fortune 500 companies to make their stores more comfortable for Latinos, which results in increased sales and social media connectivity. She understands the Latino and Portuguese communities in Boston and still has close ties to them. She believed that education was the key to success and went to Lesley College. She continued her education to earn an MBA and a doctorate. However, true entrepreneurship cannot be learned in a classroom. Ms. DeCastro’s story is not unique, but her business expertise is.

The focus on LatinTouch Agency will be on strategy and inclusion consulting through innovative thinking, marketing and leadership. Ms. DeCastro has partners in Dubai and Barranquilla, who share in her philosophy that “success means making meaningful work that promotes inclusivity.” The name LatinTouch Agency comes from Ms. DeCastro’s passion to help Latinos leave their “touch” in our world.

The company is headquartered in Newton, Massachusetts with a second office in Westborough. For more information, please contact Ms. DeCastro at http://www.latintouchagency.com

iaedp™ Symposium to Show Beauty, Embodiment and Image as Healing Agents in Eating Disorder Recovery

Leave a comment


According to primary presenter, Heidi Andersen, MS, LPC, CEDS-S, RYT, “Relationships with food and the human body will transform on a deep level only when underlying issues related to beauty, embodiment and image are addressed.”


PEKIN, Ill. (PRWEB)

Beauty as a social justice issue is an invitation to challenge internalized self-objectification. Embodiment is learning to inhabit oneself from the inside out rather than reflecting on it. Developing an understanding of the nervous system leads to a kinder relationship with the human body. Image supports an individual in challenging inaccurate mirroring and allows for clarity. In a presentation scheduled for opening day at the 2020 iaedp™ Symposium, these elements of healing in the recovery process and how they relate to eating disorder behaviors will be explored, as well as the neurobiology of shame and learning how to heal shame related to beauty, embodiment and image that perpetuates disordered behaviors.

Slated for March 26 – 29 at the Omni at ChampionsGate in Orlando, the 2020 iaedp™ Symposium will offer the presentation, Beauty, Embodiment and Image as Healing Agents in Eating Disorder Recovery, and more than 100 other presentations and networking events to the more than 1,000 eating disorder treatment professionals expected to attend. For more information, visit iaedp.com.

According to primary presenter, Heidi Andersen, MS, LPC, CEDS-S, RYT, relationships with food and the human body will transform on a deep level only when underlying issues related to beauty, embodiment and image are addressed. Beauty is a social justice issue that expands the definition of worth from the current cultural definition to one that embraces a more soulful definition and challenges internalized self-objectification, prejudice and oppression. Embodiment is a process of learning to inhabit oneself from the inside out rather than from reflecting on it from the outside. Developing an understanding of the nervous system and building interceptive skills provides an individual the tools to develop a more capable relationship with the body and oneself.

Presenter Heidi Andersen, MS, LPC, CEDS-S, RYT is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and Embodiment Specialist. During her career, she has worked as a therapist in residential and outpatient levels of care with people struggling with eating disorders. She currently maintains an outpatient private practice as a Body-Centered Psychotherapist specializing in treating the intersection of trauma, attachment wounds and eating disorders through a somatic approach and offers psychotherapy groups, workshops and retreats. Andersen is the author of the Reclaiming Beauty Journal and Wisdom Deck, a resource created to engage women in the process of healing body image and self-image through the use of imagery and experiential exercises. Andersen holds the vision that all people will learn to see the beauty in themselves and those around them.

Considering Egg Freezing or Donor Egg Treatment? Shady Grove Fertility Invites Those Interested in Family Building Options to Attend Physician-Hosted Events this January

Leave a comment


14 Shady Grove Fertility physicians and experts to host live events this January, including Drs. Anate Brauer and Tomer Singer of SGF New York.

Whether attending a live webinar online, or in-person at a seminar or fertility social, we want to make sure attendees walk away feeling informed and empowered.


WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

For women interested in either preserving their fertility through egg freezing, or couples or individuals seeking donor egg treatment as a family building option, Shady Grove Fertility (SGF) will host four live, educational events this January, continuing their commitment to reach and teach the community about available family planning options.

“Since more and more women are waiting longer to have children, the goal of our egg freezing events is to raise awareness about the advantages of egg freezing, and to remind women of the impact that age has on fertility. Not only does our fertility potential decline as we age, but the potential for miscarriages increases as well,” says Anate Brauer, M.D., who will host an Egg Freezing Seminar on Thursday, January 16 at 6:00 p.m., where attendees will be entered into a raffle and one lucky attendee will receive $1,000 off a future egg freezing treatment cycle at SGF New York. “On the other hand, donor egg treatment is an option for those women who can carry a child but are unable to use their own eggs for conception. It’s a path around infertility that has seen 8,000 SGF babies born, thus far.” Dr. Brauer will also host a Donor Egg Seminar on Thursday, January 23 at 6:00 p.m. Attendees will receive a complimentary physician consult and one lucky attendee will receive $1,000 off a future donor egg treatment at SGF New York. Both events are being held in SGF’s Manhattan office in New York, NY.

Dr. Brauer is one of 13 physicians and experts who will host a live event this January where attendees will learn about the patient journey at SGF. January seminar and webinar topics include IVF, affording fertility care and what to expect under the care of a fertility specialist. All events conclude with a question and answer session, allowing attendees to get their questions answered by experts.

“Our events provide reliable and current information so attendees can take that next step of scheduling a fertility consultation,” says Tomer Singer, M.D., who will be hosting a “What to Expect When You’re Not Expecting” seminar in SGF’s Manhattan office, on Tuesday, January 14, at 6:00 p.m. “Whether attending a live webinar online, or in-person at a seminar or fertility social, we want to make sure attendees walk away feeling informed and empowered.” The fertility seminar is free and includes a complimentary physician consult that can be scheduled onsite.

While all SGF in-person and online events are complimentary, interested parties must register to attend by visiting the SGF calendar of events.

Central Research Laboratories® Celebrates Company’s 75th Anniversary in 2020

Leave a comment



RED WING, Minn. (PRWEB)

Central Research Laboratories® (CRL), a global leader in the remote-handling industry, is excited to announce that it will be commemorating its 75th anniversary in 2020.

Founded in the fall of 1945 by three graduates of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology – Frank G. Chesley, Demetrius Jelatis and Gordon M. Lee – CRL initially began as a developer of radar-testing equipment for the U.S. military. In the ensuing 75 years, CRL has built a “Legacy of Innovation” and become an industry leader in the creation of remote-handling and containment solutions used in the Nuclear and Life Science industries around the world.

“We are incredibly proud to mark this significant milestone – 75 years of developing customized solutions for the specific needs of our clients is a real achievement,” said Tom Gahr, General Manager of CRL. “Developing innovative remote-handling technologies that help our customers achieve their highest level of performance has been the driving force behind the success of CRL since its founding shortly after World War II. That we stand here today, decades later, and continue to be a trusted ‘go-to’ partner for our many global clients, is a true testament to the expertise of the CRL team. Our past has provided a strong foundation and we look forward to a future of innovation.”

The creation of its Telemanipulator product line elevated CRL to the forefront of the remote-handling industry, where it remains the industry standard for the handling of hazardous nuclear materials. CRL Telemanipulators are the first choice for these applications as they are designed to easily and reliably extend the manipulative capabilities of the operator through natural hand motions that are mimicked identically from the master (command) arm to the slave (remote) arm located inside a hot cell.

In addition to its Telemanipulators, CRL’s robust product portfolio also includes Transfer Systems and Glove Ports. Fifty years ago, CRL introduced the innovative Double Door Transfer System and continuously builds upon this proven technology. Today, CRL offers a full family of products for rapid and repeatable transfer of hazardous and sterile materials. CRL Glove Ports are ideal for applications where isolation is required to protect operators or critical processes. These are available in a variety of sizes and shapes to accommodate any application need.

To mark its 75th anniversary, CRL will be hosting an Open House and ribbon-cutting ceremony at the brand-new Demonstration Space at its Red Wing, MN, headquarters later this year.
