Winchester Mystery House 3D Mapping by PaintScaping Culminates on Halloween

Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, CA


SAN JOSE, Calif. (PRWEB)

The 3D mapping at the world-famous Winchester Mystery House, part of their Unhinged tour, will close this week, the day after Halloween, following a very successful run that started on September 6. It marks the first joint venture between PaintScaping, a world leader in 3D projection mapping and the famous estate.

In 1884, Sarah Winchester, widow of the Winchester Arms Co. founder, began adding to her 8-room mansion — non-stop, 24/7. Sarah believed she needed to shelter the spirits killed by Winchester rifles. When she died, the house had expanded to an astonishing 160 rooms. Yet, there was no plan – no official blueprints were ever drawn up.

“It is definitely one of the most complex mappings we’ve ever done,” says Philippe Bergeron, co-founder of LA-based PaintScaping. “Just to create the 3D model was an incredible task.” The lack of symmetry in the architecture made for an unusual challenge. “Good thing we love challenges,” adds Bergeron with a smile.

PaintScaping is no stranger to high-profile mappings. It has created the largest 3D mapping ever in the USA, on Park MGM, in Las Vegas (550ft x 26 stories). They’ve also worked on the most viewed mapping ever on YouTube, for Rihanna and Calvin Harris, at over 2 billion views. Their mapping for the bicentennial of University of Virginia, founded by Thomas Jefferson, was one of the most elaborate in the history of universities. Other projects include Rodeo Drive, Playboy Mansion, New York Public Library, Travelers Championship, and Sony Pictures.

On a personal level, Bergeron feels very connected to Halloween. He owns the house of silent actor Buster Keaton, the godson of Harry Houdini, who died on Halloween night. “It was meant to be,” concludes Bergeron, about their involvement with Winchester.

Isagenix Energy Drink Is Company’s Most Successful Permanent Product Launch

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

BĒA has 125 milligrams of naturally sourced caffeine from green tea and is made with raw nutrients and vitamins sourced from fruits and vegetables.

Consumers can now boost their energy levels more naturally with ingredients that are a step up from what you typically find in this drink category. This is tremendously important given so many people are paying close attention to what they put into their bodies. – Joshua Plant, Ph.D., Isagenix CSO


GILBERT, Arizona (PRWEB)

A new, healthier energy drink that can help consumers jump-start their day, power through work, or perk up in the afternoon had a historic debut for global health and wellness company Isagenix International. BĒA™ Sparkling Energy Drink had the best first-day performance of any permanent Isagenix product, with sales 10 times greater than first-day sales for e+™, the company’s popular long-lasting energy shot that launched in 2013.

Isagenix created BĒA — a ready-to-drink beverage whose name stands for botanical energy plus adaptogens — to both energize and nourish the body.

“After analyzing the energy drink market, we identified a strong need for a healthier caffeinated beverage, and BĒA delivers,” said Joshua Plant, Ph.D., Isagenix chief science officer and chairman of the company’s Scientific Advisory Board. “Consumers can now boost their energy levels more naturally with ingredients that are a step up from what you typically find in this drink category. This is tremendously important given so many people are paying close attention to what they put into their bodies.”

Available in a Berry Bellini flavor, BĒA has 125 milligrams of naturally sourced caffeine from green tea and is made with raw nutrients and vitamins sourced from fruits and vegetables including beets, spinach, broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes, oranges, apples, strawberries, and maitake and shiitake mushrooms. It also features botanical antioxidants as well as adaptogens, such as ashwagandha, that can help fight stress.†

“Another factor that sets BĒA apart is it has 10 calories, less than 1 gram of sugar, and no artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners,” Plant said. “Consumers can enjoy this drink without feeling bad about what’s in it.”

By launching BĒA, Isagenix strengthened its position in the growing energy drinks market, which the company entered in 2013 with e+. In the United States, that market is expected to reach $26.9 billion by 2025, progressing at a compound annual growth rate of 7.2% during the forecast period of 2017-2025, according to a report from Grand View Research Inc., a market research and consulting business.

Isagenix Chief Executive Officer Travis Ogden said debuting its first full-size energy drink not only helps the company attract consumers who have not tried Isagenix before but also helps it best serve existing customers.

“Our customers look to us for products that help them make healthy changes, so creating a healthier energy drink that features the high-quality, no-compromise ingredients people have come to expect from Isagenix made sense,” Ogden said. “We’ve received fantastic feedback so far. If the early response is any indication, we expect BĒA to be a game changer for our company, our customers, and the energy drinks market.”

While customers can purchase BĒA directly from Isagenix, the company recommends ordering through independent distributors. Preferred customer pricing is $39.99 for a 12-pack, and 5% of all profits will help the ISA Foundation — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operated by Isagenix — provide healthy nutrition and support to underserved children, wellness education for all, and aid for those affected by natural disasters.

NoteSwift announces powerful new Samantha OnePage for Allscripts Professional EHR

Leave a comment


Samantha is providing physicians a simple and powerful way to make EHR entry quicker and more accurate than manual entry, scribe entry, or transcription services


SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (PRWEB)

NoteSwift, a leading provider of AI solutions to ease the burden and increase the accuracy of entering patient documentation into the EHR, is pleased to announce the launch of its OnePage technology in Samantha for Allscripts Professional. This powerful new functionality significantly improves the user experience within Samantha and offers physicians more functionality and consistency to further reduce the time and clicks it takes to enter and update patient documentation.

Samantha OnePage offers providers a number of benefits to make EHR entry simpler:


  • Access to your template list for Review of Systems and Physical Exam on one screen, including previously applied templates, so you don’t have to remember the names.

  • Visibility to the contents of Review of Systems and Physical Exam templates so you can see what changes need to be made.

  • Easier workflow to display and amend previous encounters with new or updated information.

  • Full control of the input process from a single screen.

  • Improved and expanded AI functionality and accuracy.

  • A simple and intuitive user interface for easier use and less training time.

“I love the look and ease of the new Samantha OnePage,” says Dr Rathkopf of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Center of Alaska. “Being able to see and edit the contents of our templates, I now can use Samantha for my returning patients as well as new patients. This is a major upgrade and is saving me many hours!”

“Samantha is providing physicians a simple and powerful way to make EHR entry quicker and more accurate than manual entry, scribe entry, or transcription services,” according to Wayne Crandall, President and CEO of Noteswift. “With Samantha OnePage for Allscripts Professional EHR, we’ve further simplified the flow for providers to create new notes or update/amend existing patient notes in seconds, without having to navigate through all the screens of the EHR.”

The OnePage interface is the result of a year-long study receiving input from hundreds of providers and watching their EHR workflow. The key learning from this research is that EHRs continue to be cumbersome and frustrating to use, and the technology innovations added to Samantha OnePage can dramatically improve provider satisfaction with their EHR and enable more face time with their patients.

“According to many studies, physicians are burning out in record numbers across our country, largely due to the burden of administration and EHR entry,” says Crandall. “With Samantha, our goal is to support providers, reduce physician burnout, and ultimately help physicians offer better care to patients by helping them spend less time on computers and more face time with their patients.”

About Noteswift, Inc.

Noteswift was founded by practicing neurologist Dr. Chris Russell to improve efficiency and productivity within his own practice. Dr. Russell’s unique combination of medical expertise and software development experience helped him develop the revolutionary Noteswift products that integrate EHR entry with AI-powered speech recognition solutions.

In 2017, Noteswift launched the next evolution of Dr. Russell’s vision, called Samantha. Because Samantha enables providers to complete patient notes easily – intelligently identifying the structured data elements within the narrative text, automatically assigning all required codes, and seamlessly integrating with the EHR – providers can not only complete patient documentation faster, but also more accurately.

Skyroam, leader in SIM-less global WiFi hotspots for travelers, adds local pay-as-you-go data plans

Leave a comment


The Skyroam WiFi Smartspot just got smarter with new cheaper local data plans. The GoData local plans will give our customers in the US and Europe more flexibility to use every day for business, family-travel, and fun.


SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)

Skyroam, the global WiFi provider that keeps users connected in over 130 countries, is expanding beyond flat-rate global data to offer new, lower-priced local WiFi data plans designed for domestic travel and everyday use. From business travelers who need a more reliable and affordable alternative to hotel, airport, or conference WiFi, to members of the mobile workforce who cannot get guaranteed fast, secure WiFi from public café internet, to RV owners who want to cruise with connectivity, Skyroam’s hotspots paired with the new local data plans offer an affordable portable WiFi solution. The new local options will be available within the successful Skyroam GoData Pay-Per-GB plan in the US and Europe and will work with any Skyroam hotspot including the 2 newest models,Skyroam Solis X WiFi Smartspot and Skyroam Solis Lite.

With 2 new hotspots and lower-priced WiFi plans, Skyroam is offering consumers an alternative to traditional domestic hotspots which can be expensive, require long-term data contracts with carriers, connect to only 1 network and have surprise global roaming fees. In contrast, Skyroam Solis Lite is just $119.99 and the all-new Skyroam Solis X, the World’s first Smartspot, is still under $200 and includes a power bank, camera, and smart assistant. For consumers’ ultimate flexibility, Skyroam plans never require a contract, have no hidden fees and offer both local and global data on-demand. And with Skyroam’s vSIM technology and the Skyroam network, consumers always get connected to the best signal among multiple local networks at home and abroad.

The new GoData local plans are an ideal choice for those needing reliable, secure WiFi domestically including:


  • Business travelers who need WiFi for their laptops and don’t want to tether their phones, using personal phone data and draining phone batteries

  • Commuters who want to stay productive during their morning train, bus and rideshare rides

  • Travelers who need a private, secure connection and do not want to or are not allowed by their companies to connect to public WiFi

  • Companies who want to save money by having employees share WiFi while traveling (up to 10 devices at once)

  • Mobile phone users who live, work, or visit areas without good coverage from their primary phone carrier

  • Families who want to turn their car into a WiFi hotspot for road trips

  • Students who want to work from anywhere on campus

  • Those who travel both domestically and internationally and want just 1 hotspot that can work anywhere, with service that flexes with them

“The Skyroam WiFi Smartspot just got smarter with new cheaper local data plans” said Eric Plam, President of Skyroam. “The GoData local plans will give our customers in the US and Europe more flexibility to use every day for business, family-travel, and fun.”

Skyroam customers will see two new options available within the GoData plan. For those who want to stay on the flat rate plan, GoData global coverage is still $9/month for 1GB of data to use anytime, anywhere. Local USA coverage is $6/month for 1GB to use anytime and Local European* coverage will be 5€/month for 1GB of data to use anytime. Customers can top-up anytime if they need more data, for the same prices as their initial 1GB.

As an additional bonus, the first 500 subscribers will get an extra 15 GBs to use anytime (a $90 value).

How to Achieve Alignment and Optimal Clinical Trial Supply Forecasting With a Single Source of Truth, Upcoming Webinar Hosted by Xtalks

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Xtalks Life Science Webinars

By having a single source of truth, each collaborator can transparently access the latest clinical forecasts as well as up-to-date data including enrollment and dropout rate, titrations probabilities, future productions, etc.


TORONTO (PRWEB)

A clinical trial usually involves many different parties, who are not always used to communicating with each other: study managers, principal investigators, supply chain managers, manufacturers, IRT, CRAs and so on. Lack of communication can cause misunderstandings if a party is not informed of the latest data, potentially leading to patient risk.

By having a single source of truth, each collaborator can transparently access the latest clinical forecasts as well as up-to-date data including enrollment and dropout rate, titrations probabilities, future productions, etc. The reliability of this information is a must as it plays a fundamental role in the clinical supply strategy, as well as planning including distribution, packaging, manufacturing and sampling.

Join Head of Solutions Adoption, Life Sciences at N-SIDE, Amaury Jeandrain and N-SIDE Consultant, Pauline Deplasse in a live session on Tuesday, November 19, 2019 at 10am EST (3pm GMT/UK) to learn about the benefits of having a single source of truth when managing clinical operations.

If everyone agrees on this single source of truth, the resulting forecasts can legitimately be used across the organization for resource planning activities, decision-making, vendor management, etc. through strategic visualization dashboards.

When changes occur, such as faster enrollment, batch losses, shipping delays, new countries in the trial, real-time monitoring and updating clinical trial supply forecasts, using real-time data allows the single source of truth to stay current. This enables everyone across the organization to adapt their planning in order to mitigate the unexpected risk, ensuring patients will receive their medication on time while minimizing the costs.

The featured speakers will discuss how to get clinical trial stakeholders on the same page, using a single source of truth for patient behavior, demand forecast, production/distribution plans and inventory management.

NCES and CoachCare Announce Partnership to Provide Digital Nutrition Resources for Clinics and Their Patients

NCES Partners With CoachCare

One obvious benefit of providing nutritional and other educational content directly into our healthcare mobile apps is that it can help patients stay motivated in their programs when they are away from the clinic or are not getting direct coaching.


AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)

NCES has recently partnered with CoachCare, a technology startup that offers a digital health platform for weight loss physicians, coaches and their patients.

NCES will collaborate with CoachCare to customize a dynamic, nutritional content repository to support the contemporary coaching needs for health clinics and their patients. The content will be available through CoachCare’s custom-branded physician dashboard and patient mobile apps, and will offer a combined health coaching and self-learning solution for clinics and patients. The content will target the impact of nutrition and healthy activities necessary for improving overall quality of life for patients, and will focus attention on chronic diseases, including obesity and pain management.

“We find that patient’s really want to be proactive when it comes to their programs, their coaching and their health,” says Carol Duke, Director of Marketing for CoachCare. “One obvious benefit of providing nutritional and other educational content directly into our healthcare mobile apps is that it can help patients stay motivated in their programs when they are away from the clinic or are not getting direct coaching.”

CoachCare will now support a library of general nutrition and exercise education that patients can review any time of day through their mobile apps, along with education related to more specific health issues they might be experiencing, including morbid obesity, sugar intolerance, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, renal failure and more.

“Many chronic conditions are directly impacted by nutrition and lifestyle choices, many of which are life-long habits that must be modified,” says Carrie Mark, NCES Registered Dietitian. “We believe CoachCare is a fantastic way to reach patients who are actively trying to modify their lifestyles and be successful in their programs.”

NCES products ensure patients get the most out of education, counseling and daily health maintenance by creating the critical connections in behavior and symptom control. NCES products target the teaching and educational needs for health professionals working directly with patients, as well as take-home products for patients who require ongoing reminders and behavior management support.

All NCES solutions are simple and easy to introduce and solutions can be implemented throughout the healthcare setting. “We make nutrition education and behavior management easy,” says Chris Jackson, CEO of NCES. “NCES products are high quality and receive great responses in satisfaction surveys.”

An official partnership launch will take place at Obesity Week in Las Vegas, NV on November 4-8. Stop by CoachCare’s booth #641 and learn more about the partnership here.
