Reservoire Health Launches Copeify, an Anonymous App for Student Health and Happiness

Leave a comment


Ana Bartkiewicz, Copeify Creator and Author of “Struggle Happy”

Young people and those who teach them need to increase their coping capacities and life-skill intelligence in a more regular and accessible way, with complete privacy.


HARTFORD, Conn. (PRWEB)

Reservoire Health, the veteran-backed health intelligence network today announces the immediate distribution of Copeify, a 100% anonymous self-care and life-skills application for high schools, colleges and universities. The machine learning application requires no student profile and is designed to help students and faculty grow their life-skills and coping capabilities, pursue happiness and health, and reduce frequency of depression, addiction and anxiety.

The unique model encourages adoption amongst a community that is sensitive to how they are perceived by others and provides a way to explore self-care without being judged. Copeify was originally conceived by a high school student as a way for her peers and teachers to anonymously receive daily notifications and content about nutrition, motivation, health and mindfulness. The use of anonymity to mobilize wellness and mental fitness intelligence goes against the grain of data-hungry networks like Facebook and Google who are getting into health tech with growing data privacy concerns.

“Everyone in school struggles, even faculty, because both life and learning are naturally challenging and competitive,” said Ana Bartkiewicz, inventor of Copeify and student at Miss Porter’s School. “I observed that these personal challenges of stress, identity and academics were quite universal to everyone, and that life-skills were actually available out there if we could find a better way to deliver them easily to the academic environment and without kids feeling the pressure to share anything.”

Copeify leverages the sciences of self-care skills and personal development, coupled with character and lifestyle tips, to help people in an academic environment thrive and improve their personal resilience. The national mandate for distributing life-skills and personal development has grown dramatically with the increased and historic rates of teenage depression, addiction, obesity and hopelessness.


  • 1 in 5 college students have anxiety or depression (Mayo Clinic)

  • Suicide rates have increased 56% from 2007 to 2017 (Centers for Disease Control)

  • 250 million children worldwide forecast to be obese by 2030 (WHO)

  • Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) impact 34% of a child’s health outcomes (HealthIT)

“Young people and those who teach them need to increase their coping capacities and life-skill intelligence in a more regular and accessible way, with complete privacy,” said Major General Malcolm Frost, U.S. Army Retired, the newest Advisory Board member of veteran-backed Reservoire Health. “Copeify provides a regular flow of life-skill tools specific to individual needs. This unique, intelligent and anonymous platform allows kids/young adults and faculty to meet and interact in the same channel so they can thrive in an academic environment.”

Copeify optimizes the 12 key components of resilience and readiness for navigating the years of adolescence and higher education. Without needing a profile or any personal information, Copeify delivers the motivation and means to help students and faculty thrive with:

  • Daily notifications on the aspects of coping and character, health and happiness.

  • Embedded articles and videos about healthy lifestyles, social skills and emotional intelligence.

  • CopeIQ meters that help one track experiential times for measuring their growth in coping skills.

The first version of Copeify beta is already being used by students and faculty in 17 high schools and colleges, such as Avon Old Farms, Miss Porters School, Harlem’s Renaissance School, Bentley College, West Point, Northeastern, Boston College and U Miami.

Copeify is now available to high schools, colleges and universities, and the organizations that support them. Reservoire and Copeify are subsidiary brands of Patriapps Veterans Software Studios.

Israel’s Compulsory Vehicle Insurance Pool selects InsFocus BI as its reporting and analytics system

Leave a comment



PETACH TIKVA, Israel, and TEL AVIV, Israel (PRWEB)

The Pool, the corporation that manages the Israel’s compulsory vehicle insurance pool and is jointly owned by all Israeli insurance companies has contracted with InsFocus for business intelligence solutions. The Pool was established to provide compulsory insurance for vehicle owners unable to obtain insurance coverage with commercial companies. The insurance risk of Pool policies is shared between all insurance companies writing compulsory vehicle insurance in proportion to their market share. As such the Pool faces unique challenges and needs a robust BI tool to analyze data.

The Pool insures close to 250,000 vehicles a year. Of those vehicles, over half are private, about 40% are motorcycles (the majority of motorcycles in Israel are insured with the Pool) and the rest are other vehicle types. The Pool services the public via a call center, eight branch offices spread throughout the country and its corporate website.

Eran Cohen, Pool CEO: “We decided to use the BI system to improve our ability to analyze data and gain organizational efficiencies. Our decision-making process primarily needs to be based on high quality, timely and reliable data. We believe InsFocus’ insurance-BI system will serve Pool’s management, be the basis for actuarial analysis, and support the claims and underwriting departments in their day to day work.”

InsFocus is a specialized BI software system for insurance companies based on an insurance data model that contains a comprehensive set of insurance measurements, KPI’s and ready-made reports. The system is used by many insurance companies in Israel and around the world. InsFocus is a private company owned by the Taiber family, one of the oldest families in the insurance industry in Israel.

Uri Taiber, InsFocus founder and CEO: “For over a decade, InsFocus has been delivering advanced data warehousing and business intelligence services to insurance companies in Israel and abroad based on its insurance data model combined with an insurance-dedicated BI software system. The company constantly improves its insurance model and software platform based on insurance clients’ feedback. Our aim is to maintain a technological edge and leverage it to be the preferred BI solution in the insurance community worldwide.”

Workit Health’s Digital Addiction Care Joins the Aetna Network

Leave a comment


Health plans play a vital role in improving access to quality addiction care via telehealth, and we’re proud Aetna is giving their members more options at their moment of readiness to get help.


ANN ARBOR, Mich. (PRWEB)

Workit Health, the nation’s leading provider of digital addiction care, including telemedicine for opioid use disorder, is now an in-network provider with Aetna Behavioral Health. Workit Health’s online addiction care program offers therapy and medication management from licensed clinicians in California and Michigan.

On a pilot basis, fully insured Aetna members in California and Michigan can now receive treatment from Workit Health’s web and phone apps, including therapy from licensed counselors and a personalized curriculum of evidence-based interactive courses, without a referral. For example, Aetna members who are struggling with addiction such as opioid use disorder can sign up by phone or the app, subject to standard cost sharing, to have access to Workit Health’s Clinic program, which offers low-barrier buprenorphine via telemedicine after a single in-person visit to a Workit clinic or a clinic recommended by Workit. Recovery groups, video clinician visits and drug testing are all completed in Workit Health’s apps.

”The Workit Health team looks forward to delivering results for Aetna members,” says Workit Health’s Co-CEO, Lisa McLaughlin. “We’re proud that Aetna has recognized our commitment to providing better outcomes at lower costs for its members.”

“More than 130 people die of opioid overdose per day, so time is of the essence in expanding access to clinically-proven digital addiction care like Workit Health,” says Robin McIntosh, Workit Health’s Co-CEO. “Health plans play a vital role in improving access to quality addiction care via telehealth, and we’re proud Aetna is giving their members more options at their moment of readiness to get help.”

“We are committed to easy access to evidence-based care for our members suffering from addiction,” said Cara McNulty, DPA, President, Aetna Behavioral Health. “Workit Health allows us to continue to expand the digital solutions we provide to our members, which remove barriers to care and help members receive high-quality care more conveniently. We look forward to working with Workit Health on this pilot.”

Overdose is a leading cause of accidental death in the United States, but many high-cost treatment programs don’t use evidence-based therapy or medication to treat addiction. Workit Health has been the industry leader in expanding access to quality addiction care via telemedicine since 2015. The company was founded by two experienced founders in long-term recovery, and has been working with national clinical experts and organizations since its foundation, including Itai Danovitch, MD, the Commissioner of California’s Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission. Both the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse have awarded Workit Health grants.

Workit Health’s Clinic program launched as a direct response to the opioid crisis, and offers two of the three FDA-approved medications to treat opioid addiction via telehealth. After a single in-person visit, members continue buprenorphine care via video visits with a clinician and a licensed care team. After success in Michigan and Northern California, Workit Health launched an additional clinic in Bakersfield, California. Workit Health partners with a diverse group of large self-insured employers, providers, and payers to bring quality addiction care to those who need it most.

About Workit Health

Workit Health is a Joint Commission-accredited B-Corporation offering online, on-demand evidence-based addiction treatment including telemedicine medication for opioid use disorder. We partner with healthcare organizations to deliver an innovative digital health solution that blends the best of human-centered design, technology, and science. Through our mobile and web apps, members meet with clinicians and counselors, join recovery groups, and complete self-set recovery goals. Our interactive curriculum of online courses keep members on track in the comfort of home. We offer 24/7 recovery that fits into daily life, designed by experts.

Pro-Life Organization Save the Storks Releases New Study of Religious Views on Abortion

Leave a comment


Save the Storks Unplanned Abortion Views November 2019

“There’s a disconnect in our culture right now,” said Save the Storks Spokesperson, OBGYN and Women’s Health Specialist Dr. Karysse Trandem. “The majority of Americans believe that life begins at or before the heartbeat, but the majority of evangelicals and Catholics are pro-choice.”


COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (PRWEB)

Pro-life organization Save the Storks released a new study on abortion today that found the majority of self-identified Christians are pro-choice.

“Market Study of The Pro-Life/Pro-Choice Cause” found that while the most dominant pro-life demographic is evangelicals, less than half, or 47 percent identify as pro-life. Only 33 percent of main line protestants identify as pro-life. Catholics are the lowest percentage at just 27 percent.

“These findings underscore how important it is to be diligent in the education of the general public pertaining to this issue,” said Save the Storks Director of Media Relations and Community Affairs Victoria Robinson. “I think there will be many who will be unpleasantly surprised by the findings in this survey. If this cause is important to you, complacency is no longer an option.”

The study’s findings about American attitudes and opinions on abortion, particularly among Americans of faith, show that the U.S. church has yet to fully embrace a culture of life.

“There’s a disconnect in our culture right now,” said Save the Storks Spokesperson, OB/GYN and Women’s Health Specialist, Physician Dr. Karysse Trandem. “The majority of Americans believe that life begins at or before the heartbeat, but the majority of evangelicals and Catholics identify as pro-choice.”

Other key findings from the study include:


  • 67 percent of Americans believe that life begins at or before the heartbeat

  • 20 percent of pro-choice respondents stated abortion would not be an option for their own unplanned pregnancy

  • 17 percent of Catholics would consider abortion an option

  • 58 percent of Catholics and 51 percent of mainline protestants believe abortion is a private issue, just for the woman to determine

“We hope this research is the beginning of an honest dialogue among Christians,” said Save the Storks President, Paul Isaacs. “We are going to have to work harder to equip the next generation of Christians to have a more life-affirming ethic on this issue.”

The study, conducted by leading research-based firm Magid, draws on data from a nationally representative survey of 1,000 American adults — 34.7% aged 18-34, 37.5% aged 35-54, and 27.8% aged 55+. Of those 1,000 people surveyed this is the breakdown by religion: 26% Catholic, 15% Evangelical, 15% Main Line Protestant and 13% non-religious.

Bridge Unveils New Brand and Corporate Immigration Platform

Leave a comment


News Image

Our new brand embodies a stronger, more contemporary representation of Bridge’s culture of service and innovation, which is the bedrock of our exceptional client experience.


SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)

Bridge, the transformative corporate immigration provider, today revealed an updated brand identity and a freshly-revamped Bridge platform, the technology arm of its immigration solution, which now features new strategic capabilities in addition to a new design.

“Our new brand embodies a stronger, more contemporary representation of Bridge’s culture of service and innovation, which is the bedrock of our exceptional client experience,” said CEO Romish Badani, who unveiled the new brand design and identity during a special employee event in late October. “It acknowledges our place as the leading alternative to traditional immigration providers and underscores the commitment our employees make every day to provide HR departments and their employees with expert, proactive and highly-responsive immigration services.”

In addition to the refreshed logo and tagline, HR teams and visa applicants will begin to see the new look and identity throughout their immigration journey — on the new http://www.bridge.legal website, the Bridge immigration platform, and all other assets. Explanations and images of the new designs are available at bridge.legal/brand-refresh.

Updated typography and bright, emotive imagery support Bridge’s positioning as a premium corporate immigration provider, both approachable and aspirational, focused on top-quality, efficient, and strategic service. “Our aim was to retain the essence of our identity and arrive at a bolder, truer expression of our cohesive marriage of technology and human expertise. The refreshed look honors our rich experience and culture, while continuing to celebrate the unique, authentic spirit that has driven our success since 2011,” says Sara Divyak, Director of Client Services.

The new visual identity preludes the next chapter in Bridge’s history with the arrival of international employee timelines, enterprise dashboards, and additional strategic features that will be launched over the next several quarters. This is the next step in a series of major investments Bridge has made to eliminate friction in the global immigration process by improving efficiency, delivering a superior employee experience, and empowering immigration functions to be more proactive. These initiatives further elevate Bridge’s services and solidify the company’s position as the alternative to traditional immigration providers for companies of all sizes.

To complement its new phase of growth, Bridge’s product team will also roll out in the coming months many new toolsets for immigration planning and strategy answering HR departments’ need for digital transformation in a field that has traditionally been left behind.

”I’m really excited about two soon-to-be-deployed capabilities that take immigration in a proactive and predictive direction. Our Policy Builder enables you to configure immigration program rules that will then auto-set due dates and events in employee timelines, and assess your ongoing progress in meeting targets. The second new toolset, Cost & Budgeting, lets you forecast future spend based on anticipated employee population, and also make projections of headcount objectives and future hires.” says Bridge CTO, Forrest Blount.

Since 2011, Bridge has successfully helped more than 50,000 applicants coming from over 170 countries and continues to lead the way in streamlining and simplifying immigration. Beyond bringing order and harmony to a disjointed process, the Bridge Platform creates a new dimension of visibility and transparency that is not only very helpful for HR departments but for international employees too. The company expects to address these growing needs in new markets as early as 2020 and 2021, hence dropping the “US” in its name, to add a global dimension to its new rebranding efforts.        

About Bridge    

Bridge is a full-service immigration provider to companies of all sizes. By combining the unique strengths of purpose-built software and best-in-class legal experts, Bridge helps companies execute efficient and organized immigration processes, provide a superior experience to international employees, and run a more proactive and informed immigration function.

Over 450 leading companies across every major industry and geography have relied on Bridge to handle the immigration needs for international employees from over 170 countries.

Bridge’s mission is to make global mobility frictionless in order to help companies achieve their talent goals and empower individuals to become global citizens.
