Sfara Delivers Next-Gen Crash Detection Using an Innovative Multi-layered AI Design: Introducing “Sfara ESP” Technology

Leave a comment


Next Gen A.I. from Sfara

This breakthrough in suppressing false positives opens entirely new opportunities for First Notice of Loss (FNOL) and white glove customer service. The introduction of ESP further demonstrates Sfara’s culture of continual innovation in on-device smartphone crash detection.


HOBOKEN, N.J. (PRWEB)

Sfara announced today the next generation of their patented on-device smartphone crash detection, thereby furthering their industry leadership and the accuracy of their solution.

For this next generation, Sfara developed a revolutionary, multi-layered AI process they’ve name ESP for Extended Sensor Processing. ESP performs a post-crash data analysis specifically designed to suppress false positive crash events.

“False positives are the bane of the telematics industry, regardless of hardware implementation technique,” said Rocco Tricarico, CMO of Sfara. “False positives are when no accident occurred, but the solution detects one anyway. False positives destroy consumer trust, introduce unnecessary cost, create legal exposure, and can even be dangerous to the end user.”

Sfara successfully started detecting crashes in 2013, at speeds well below the point where airbag sensors deploy. However, some challenges remained. “The problem with detecting crashes in the lower speed bands is that the forces at work are weak and occur in a noisy sensor environment,” said Erik Goldman, CEO of Sfara.

Sfara has addressed this industry problem by developing a second layer to its AI that is specifically trained to eliminate false positives. This revolutionary second-layer AI starts performing its work milliseconds after a crash has been detected by the first layer and is designed to suppress false positives across all speed bands.

Sfara has carefully and purposefully built an industry leading crash detection model, built on the back of collecting thousands of data samples from live crash events and millions of labeled data sets from drivers, fusing predictive deterministic physics with state-of-the-art AI.

“We’ve continually improved our crash capability through five years of R&D, including rigorous field and lab tests conducted in collaboration with prestigious universities. Our performance results have also been confirmed by leaders in the auto industry,” said Sascha Simon, Founder and Chief Scientist. “The introduction of ESP is an evolutionary moment for the telematics industry, and a small taste of things to come from Sfara.”

With Sfara’s patented technology, industry participants, including auto makers, insurers, fleet operators and families will receive industry-leading crash detection with higher accuracy at speeds never before possible.

This breakthrough also opens entirely new opportunities for First Notice of Loss (FNOL) and white glove customer service. The introduction of ESP further demonstrates Sfara’s culture of continual innovation in on-device smartphone crash detection.

MedicoExperts launched effective and economical weight loss procedures in India

Leave a comment


Weight loss

MedicoExperts introduced sustainable and cost-efficient weight solutions to obese individuals

When considering to travel to India for surgery, we highly recommend that you choose the right bariatric surgeon who has the best experience & success rate.


MUMBAI, India (PRWEB)

Recent medical research suggests that weight loss procedures like gastric balloon and gastric sleeve are gaining popularity in India. This popularity can be credited to MedicoExperts for making both the procedures cost-effective and result oriented. These procedures can not only assure weight loss but also have the capability to correct sugar and blood pressure levels. Depending upon the target weight, BMI, patient’s own personal preference to the nature of the procedure, other co-morbidities like diabetes and blood pressure, etc. the bariatric surgeon will recommend either gastric balloon or gastric sleeve procedure.

Gastric sleeve and gastric balloon are procedures that help to lose weight and also get rid of weight-related problems like diabetes, hypertension, etc. Gastric sleeve surgery is done laparoscopically where the size of the stomach is significantly reduced. Gastric sleeve can also be done robotically which involves minimal cuts. A gastric balloon is done endoscopically i.e. without any cut. In this procedure, a saline-filled balloon is placed in the stomach for a period of 6 to 12 months.

As undergoing any type of weight loss procedure is expensive and generally not covered by insurance, MedicoExperts offers cost-efficient options in India where the healthcare facilities are at par with international standards. MedicoExperts has empanelled the most experienced and highly-qualified surgeons who are trained in the finest institutes of the world. Moreover, the cost of choosing a weight loss surgery in India is one-sixth of what it costs in any other country like the US or UK. The cost of gastric sleeve in India starts from USD 6000 while the cost of a gastric balloon in India starts from USD 3500.

“Young and unmarried women, and even married women who are yet to complete their families choose gastric balloon. Reason being the procedure involves no cut, can be reversed and does not change the physiology of the body yet helps lose about 22-44 pounds (10-20 kgs). Gastric sleeve surgery is suggested when patients need to lose about 33-88 pounds (15-40 kgs). Both these procedures are highly successful but are recommended to separate pools of patients depending on the amount of weight they need to lose,” states Priyanka, Senior Patient Care Manager with MedicoExperts.

“When considering to travel to India for surgery, we highly recommend that you choose the right bariatric surgeon who has the best experience & success rate. Furthermore, identify the hospital which is having appropriate infrastructure and luxury according to your budget. As a company, our main focus is always to provide our patients with highly skilled surgeons that gives them the liberty to make a choice according to their budget and preference,” states Monal Bagga, Senior Patient Care Manager with MedicoExperts.

Customers demand products that are not only safe and effective, but also intuitive and aesthetically pleasing.


CINCINNATI (PRWEB)

To further support their commitment to user-centered product development, Kaleidoscope Innovation has upgraded their Cincinnati innovation space to now include advanced usability labs. The initiative was led by Valerie Fenster, Kaleidoscope’s Director of Insights and Human Factors and a highly regarded expert in her field. The labs were designed to better serve Kaleidoscope’s clients, who are increasingly seeking insights to enhance the usability of their products.

“In today’s competitive marketplace, customers demand products that are not only safe and effective, but also intuitive and aesthetically pleasing,” said Fenster. “We created these advanced and fully outfitted usability labs to provide our clients with convenient, cost-effective and flexible spaces to collect meaningful data.”

Usability testing at Kaleidoscope can be conducted in any of three experience rooms equipped with remotely operated pan-tilt-zoom cameras and microphones, where researchers can gain a bird’s-eye view as well as study user interactions up close. Kaleidoscope also acquired eye-tracking technology to better understand a user’s perspective and visual attention. Further, Kaleidoscope provides researchers and clients access to observation rooms with high-fidelity monitoring equipment and live streaming video for remote viewing.

We spared no expense, building a research facility that is superior to what can be found in most centers. We fully anticipate that this will help our business partners achieve their goals in an efficient and cost-effective manner.”

“Our location in the heart of the Midwest offers our clients access to a vast cross-section of users with whom to conduct research,” added Fenster. “Also, when using an in-house lab, we can often save our clients travel time, shipping costs and set-up hassles.”

Another benefit of Kaleidoscope’s in-house usability labs is the efficient integration with their broader team of innovation experts. Kaleidoscope is comprised of a 125-plus-member team of engineers, designers, researchers, human factors professionals, clinicians, software developers, animators and project managers who can engage in research as needed.

The Personal Agility Institute Commences Operation, Leading Coaches Endorse the Personal Agility System

Leave a comment


Lyssa Adkins, Author of Coaching Agile Teams and Co-Founder of the Agile Coaching Institute

The Personal Agility System has taken it to a new level. The coaching questions led me to really look at how I spend my time and whether I am honoring what really matters to me.


ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (PRWEB)

The Personal Agility Institute has reimagined “agility” to help people get more out of life. Agile frameworks like Scrum and Kanban have long been applied in business to improve effectiveness and productivity in software development. The Personal Agility System enables people to take control of their lives, say no when it counts, achieve important goals, and be the person they want to be.

Today the Personal Agility Institute (PAI) announces the expansion of its coaching program to include 8 leading coaches and trainers from around the world to share and spread this simple approach to improving people’s lives.

About the Agile Movement

The Agile movement was founded in 2001 by 17 leading software developers who were uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others to do the same. The Agile Manifesto they wrote became a movement for rethinking the values, principles and practices around everything from developing software, teaching children in schools, launching new products and even leading organizations.

Today, Agile frameworks like Scrum and Kanban are widely applied in business to improve effectiveness and productivity in software development and applications beyond IT. Hardly any major companies are not involved in an Agile transformation at some level.

About the Personal Agility System

The Personal Agility System is a simple coaching framework to help people figure out what really matters and use their time accordingly. Unlike other frameworks, it is not a process to follow but a collection of questions to ask yourself. These questions help you connect what you do with who you want to be or what you want to accomplish. The same framework used with others enables you to build alignment around a common purpose or goal.

“I have been an Agilist for 14 years and have been applying Agile in my personal life for a long time. The Personal Agility System has taken it to a new level. The coaching questions led me to really look at how I spend my time and whether I am honoring what really matters to me,” says Lyssa Adkins, Author of Coaching Agile Teams and co-founder of the Agile Coaching Institute.

A practitioner of the Personal Agility System knows what really matters, can focus their use of time accordingly, and can help people around them align around what’s important. The PAI has recognized Practitioners (PARPs) from throughout the USA as well as Switzerland, Germany, Poland, Italy, India, Canada, and Sri Lanka who have demonstrated that they are using Personal Agility to guide their lives effectively.

“Personal Agility is an essential skill in any domain, be it in business, education, the community or at home. It’s not until people start to experience personal transformation in their own lives that they’ll really start to get what this is.” – John Badgley, Agility Systems Coach.

About the PAI Recognition Program

Personal Agility Recognized Ambassadors (PARA) are senior coaches and trainers who are already recognized experts in their field and have embraced the Personal Agility System for their own work. PARAs will be sharing and building the knowledge to serve humanity beyond the traditional Agile community.

Announcement of the Coaching Program

The Personal Agility Institute is excited to announce our team of industry accredited coaches and trainers.

MobileDemand Launches Entry-Level Flex 10A with Android Tablet

Leave a comment


MobileDemand Flex 10A with Android

MobileDemand Flex 10A with Android

The Flex 10A with Android is our first entry-level rugged tablet with the Android 9.0 operating system.


CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (PRWEB)

MobileDemand, provider of rugged productivity enhancing mobility systems to firstline workers, today announced its xTablet Flex 10A with Android as part of its portfolio of Android-powered devices, adding a lightweight entry level tablet to its rugged product mix. As the adoption of enterprise Android increases, so does the demand for rugged tablets running Android OS. The Flex 10A with Android is a cost-effective durable tablet designed to assist companies with their mobility objectives.

“With the xTablet Flex 10A, we’re excited to enhance our growing and industry-leading line of rugged Android devices. The Flex 10A with Android allows businesses to equip their firstline workers with near consumer grade device technology with ruggedness for enterprise-grade jobs,” says Matt Miller, President and founder of MobileDemand. “The Flex 10A with Android is our first entry-level rugged tablet with the Android 9.0 operating system. It complements the xTablet A1180 10-inch rugged, feature rich Android tablet and the xTablet A680 6-inch rugged handheld, both launched in 2019.”

Android for Business Enterprises

Ruggedized mobile tablets have been a proven core component in many Windows-based IT infrastructures to meet automation and data collection needs throughout the enterprise. With this launch, Mobile Demand is enabling businesses to improve their bottom line—whether they want to deploy budget-friendly industrial mobile tablets to automate paper-based processes, upgrade from consumer-grade devices or need to migrate to Android. Now they can benefit from improved productivity for a variety of new applications, investment protection through increased uptime and allow mobile workers to make better decisions at the point of interaction.

Leading Performance

Industry research reveals the cost of purchasing, maintaining, and managing a disposable consumer grade tablet is greater than that of a rugged computer. An extremely durable protective case and scratch- and shatter-proof screen protector greatly extends the life of the device. Users can drop the xTablets onto concrete and use in dusty areas and still expect reliable operation. The Flex 10A with Android has clever built-in features like a briefcase handle and back hand strap for easy portability along with a patented quick release snap mount system offering various mounting solutions in any environment. An optional keyboard converts the tablet into a fully functional touchscreen 2-in-1 style laptop.

MobileDemand is leading the industry by offering later generation Android OS support, all with GMS and mobile device management certifications. The Flex 10A and xTablet A1180 both offer the latest Android 9.0 with GMS, while the xTablet A680 supports Android 8.1 with GMS.

Manageability that Businesses Require

Requiring minimal IT support, Flex1 0A for Android tablets are easy to set up and manage. MobileDemand expects to attain SOTI certification for the Flex 10A with Android early 2020 and AirWatch certified shortly thereafter. The mobile device management (MDM) certifications make it easier than ever to deploy the Flex 10A into a mobile workforce and offers time-saving deployment configuration, application management, help desk and security control.

Ready for Business

The Flex 10A is Android for Enterprise capable and is GMS certified so the xTablets come standard with Google-branded apps like Chrome, Drive, Gmail, Maps and Google Play Store. Weighing in at only 2.4 pounds, the Flex 10A with Android is a rugged, lightweight device equipped with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, front- and rear-facing cameras, a long-lasting hot swappable battery, and a full-screen 10.1” display, offering the flexibility and portability a mobile device provides.

Empowering the Mobile Workforce

MobileDemand’s ever-expanding line of rugged tablets and cases are engineered to excel across a broad spectrum of industries and enterprise applications without needing to be repaired or serviced. The Flex 10A with Android’s 10.1” touch screen is familiar to users with flexible multi-touch operations that work with a gloved finger or stylus. Users can easily improve invoicing, order speed and mobile transactions, document proof-of-condition and proof-of-service, manage and track inventory, ensure on time delivery or perform quality checks. MobileDemand is committed to ensuring mobile workforces are equipped with the exact tool needed for the precise job they do.

About MobileDemand

Offering a broad family of devices, MobileDemand is a one-stop shop for powerful, all-weather rugged tablets with Microsoft Windows or Android, and rugged cases for Microsoft Surface and Apple iPad. xTablet ruggedized devices are the ideal tools for improving productivity and mobile worker decision making. With a portfolio of ten patents, MobileDemand is an innovator in mobile device productivity to industries such as retail, manufacturing, warehousing, field service, transportation, and healthcare as well as military and other public sectors. Tablets start at only $495. Additional information available at http://www.RuggedTabletPC.com.
