“Facial recognition in the gaming industry can benefit multiple departments, not just surveillance,“ commented Henry Valentino, CEO of eConnect.


LAS VEGAS (PRWEB)

eConnect, Inc., a Las Vegas-based software company which provides gaming and hospitality companies with a platform for actionable information, reinforced by video, will showcase their latest AI technology at the 2019 Global Gaming Exposition (G2E). eConnect’s applications, including its new TITOTracker technology, uses facial recognition to accurately identify individuals and their activity throughout the casino.

Since many financial transactions take place at kiosks, eConnect’s TITOTracker links and totals transaction amounts to an individual face. Whether the person is a carded player or unknown, casino operators are now alerted when any individual exceeds predefined AML/FinCen thresholds.

“Facial recognition in the gaming industry can benefit multiple departments, not just surveillance,“ commented Henry Valentino, CEO of eConnect. “Those charged with Anti-Money Laundering responsibilities, the Casino Marketing department, and even the Database Marketing team can leverage our non-intrusive facial recognition applications. eConnect can provide a set of capabilities with this technology that each property can put to use for their unique environment.”

WEDI Releases Industry White Paper, “Understanding the Models and Definitions of Encounters”

Leave a comment


“The industry needs to understand the current uses and transmissions of health care encounter data in order to address the barriers and variances that exist today.”


WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

WEDI, the nation’s leading nonprofit authority on the use of health IT to create efficiencies in health care information exchange and a statutory advisor to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), today announced the development of an industry white paper that provides a baseline understanding of various purposes of health care encounter transactions, their processing models and definitions.

According to the paper, “Health care encounter transactions have generally been thought of as secondary use of claims data; data that is used for research and public health surveillance. As alternative payment models and value-based care gain traction, health care encounter transactions and the use of that data have become more prevalent and meaningful. The industry needs to understand the current uses and transmissions of health care encounter data in order to address the barriers and variances that exist today.”

The 32-page document addresses the longstanding purposes, meanings, and needs related to the use and processes associated with health care encounter transactions. Some key takeaways from the white paper’s conclusion include:


  • The industry needs to understand the current uses and transmissions of health care encounter data in order to address the barriers and variances that exist today.

  • Encounter data is sent and received by different organizations. Although the entities involved in sending and receiving the encounter data and transmission methods are similar, each model has its own intent for why the data is being transmitted and what needs to be transmitted.

  • Various nonstandard and work-around methods are used today to send and receive data that are not accommodated in current standard transactions.

Celebrating girl power on International Day of the Girl Child 2019

Leave a comment


Dayton Children's four female orthopedic physicians

Dr. Claire Beimesch, Dr. Melissa Martinek, Dr. Sarah Steward, Dr. Lora Scott

In 2011, the United Nations declared October 11 as the International Day of the Girl Child to help galvanize worldwide enthusiasm for goals to better girls’ lives, providing an opportunity for them to show leadership and reach their full potential.


DAYTON, Ohio (PRWEB)

Only 6% of orthopedic surgeons in the country are women – and Dayton Children’s has three of them, as well as a female physician leading the sports medicine program. These four work with a whole host of women providing positive role models for today’s girls who want to succeed in traditionally male-oriented fields.

Orthopedic medicine deals with the correction of differences in bones or muscles. Many times that correction is needed after a sports injury. For Beavercreek native, Sarah Steward, MD, that was her calling to become an orthopedic surgeon, pursuing special training in sports injuries. “I grew up playing sports and played basketball at an international level. I considered careers like basketball player, basketball coach, engineer, architect and doctor. I also always knew I wanted to be a mom. In the end, I decided on a career that allowed me to combine my love for science, medicine, athletics and kids, all in one.”

Director of Dayton Children’s sports medicine program, Dr. Lora Scott’s passions also ran toward STEM careers. “I wanted to do something science or technology related. When I thought about my ideal job, I was picturing what today is called a biomechanical engineer. But that was a non-existent career at the time. I didn’t even know what to call that role back then. There were very few, if any, schools who offered it. In the end, I opted for a medical degree in pediatrics and focused on treating sports injuries like concussions. You only have one brain and it’s imperative we protect it for a lot more than just athletics.”

Other orthopedic surgeons focus on congenital issues, those that children are born with. They can be conditions such as scoliosis, the curving of the spine, or cerebral palsy (CP), a condition marked by impaired movement and muscle tone. While surgery is one option to improve movement, orthopedic experts have a lot of other methods in their toolbox that girls interested in a STEM career could study.

“I pursued extra study in motion analysis,” says Claire Beimesch, MD. “There is technology called a gait lab that allows us to watch in real time how a child walks or runs. It’s a great way to take interest in high-tech tools and apply it to make the human body work better.”

Melissa Martinek, DO, PhD, showcases yet another route aspiring girl physicians can take. She is also an orthopedic surgeon, but earned her medical degree in osteopathic medicine, a discipline that bases diagnosis and treatment on the idea that the body’s systems are interconnected. She may work on changes to a child’s muscles and skeletal system that impact health in other parts of his or her body.

“An example could be a leg lengthening surgery,” explains Dr. Martinek. “If we lengthen the leg, it brings the body back into balance and leads to better alignment of all kinds of systems. Muscles, nerves and even organs are no longer compensating for the shorter leg.”

These doctors are not the only women making an impact in the orthopedics division. Dayton Children’s has an incredible array of female physical therapists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, medical imaging technicians and many more roles throughout the hospital who care for kids throughout their health care journey.

“I hope that these examples give girls who are considering what their future could hold more options,” says Debbie Feldman, president and CEO of Dayton Children’s. “I hope that my colleagues and I can inspire young women and open their minds to the possibilities to areas they may not have considered before.”

Truly effective social change cannot come without girls’ leadership. These women at Dayton Children’s are leading the way, and providing examples for girls to go above and beyond.

Nihon Medi-Physics Launches In-house Production of Molybdenum-99

Leave a comment


News Image

Nuclear medicine scan by Technetium-99m radiopharmaceutical.

Molybdenum-99 is the critical raw material for Technetium-99m radiopharmaceuticals.


TOKYO (PRWEB)

Nihon Medi-Physics (NMP), the leading radiopharmaceutical company in Japan, announced the in-house production of Molybdenum-99 (99Mo), the critical raw material for Technetium-99m (99mTc).

NMP launched a project for the in-house production of 99Mo by investing about JPY1.3Bn and plans to start commercial production of 99Mo in 2023. They have developed a new manufacturing process that uses an accelerator instead of a nuclear reactor. It is an environment-friendly procedure without generating nuclear waste.

A stable supply of pharmaceutical products is the most important mission for a pharmaceutical manufacturer. Stable procurement of 99Mo is an essential factor for fulfilling this mission sustainably. Therefore, NMP has been collaborating with the Research Center for Electron Photon Science, Tohoku University, since 2016 to develop a new 99Mo manufacturing process using an electron accelerator. NMP has successfully conquered various issues such as 99Mo quality as a raw material for 99mTc radiopharmaceutical products as well as its productivity. NMP has confirmed the suitability of the manufacturing process for commercial production.

99mTc radiopharmaceuticals are major products in the global diagnostic nuclear medicine market, and the demand for 99Mo as a raw material is growing in emerging countries. Together with deteriorating production capabilities due to aging production facilities of existing suppliers, the supply/demand imbalance is forecasted to become more significant, according to a report published by an international organization*1. In the event of a global 99Mo supply shortage, NMP’s project could contribute to overcome the negative impact this would cause to medical care practice within nuclear medicine procedures.

NMP’s stable and reliable supply of quality products has contributed to society over the years. With continuous challenges to new business opportunities in the “Development of Theranostics”, “Application of digital technology in healthcare”, and “Expansion of radiopharmaceutical business in Asia”, NMP anticipates to further contribute to the health and well-being of societies into the future.

Dr. Deutsch of Perimeter Plastic Surgery Recommends Fall for Elective Surgery

Leave a comment


Perimeter Plastic Surgery logo

“This is why we recommend undergoing procedures during the fall and winter months, so patients have plenty of time to have the best recovery possible. We make it a priority to remain highly accessible throughout the course of every aesthetic journey.”


ATLANTA (PRWEB)

Choosing the right time to go through a medical procedure can be tough, especially when different factors can come into play. Dr. Mark Deutsch of Perimeter Plastic Surgery and his team can help you decide which procedures are right for you, while also recommending the best times to perform them.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the fall and winter months are the ideal times to book an appointment at a clinic for a consultation. Common procedures such as breast augmentations or tummy tucks can be lengthy, and the recovery stage can take a few months. The colder months are the best time for recovery and provide ample time for swelling to resolve because people are able to stay indoors, relax and take it easy after surgery. Essentially, it is also smart to plan cosmetic procedures around the holidays as more people have extra off days which brings better chances towards recovery.

Double board-certified specialist, Dr. Mark Deutsch has continuously proven himself as one of the most trusted surgeons in the plastic surgery field for the past 20 years. He is currently featured in Atlanta Magazine’s list of Atlanta “Top Doctors” issue in partnership with Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. for the fourth year in a row. Dr. Deutsch serves a multitude of hospitals, including Northside and Piedmont Healthcare.

With specialized training from MD Anderson Cancer Center and Albert Einstein Montefiore Medical Center, Dr. Deutsch performs procedures for breast cancer reconstruction, head and neck cancer reconstruction, and complex cosmetic cases including breast procedures and the extremely popular “mommy makeover.” During each appointment, he will provide all of the essential facts about any procedure while answering any questions or concerns that you have in mind. Before choosing to undergo any type of procedure, it is important to review all of the benefits and risks prior to coming in for a consultation with Dr. Deutsch. Since the practice strives to excel in patients’ well-beings, this brings successful outcomes on a daily basis.

“Our practice philosophy is to embrace the belief that every patient is entirely unique,” explains Mark Deutsch, MD, FACS, plastic surgeon and medical director of Perimeter Plastic Surgery. “One of our core tenants is spending ample time with patients which is critical to achieving the highest quality of care. This is why we recommend undergoing procedures during the fall and winter months, so patients have plenty of time to have the best recovery possible. We make it a priority to remain highly accessible throughout the course of every aesthetic journey.”

About Perimeter Plastic Surgery:

Perimeter Plastic Surgery is one of the top plastic surgery practices with locations in Atlanta and Fayetteville, Georgia. The team at Perimeter Plastic Surgery is now welcoming patients for any type of consultation. Owner and founder of the practice, Mark Deutsch, MD, FACS, has over 20 years of plastic surgery experience, is double board-certified, and has been named a Top Doctor in Atlanta by Castle Connolly for four years in a row: 2016, 2017, 2018 & 2019. Perimeter Plastic Surgery’s Atlanta office is located in Northside Doctor’s Center on Johnson Ferry Road.

Front Row Updates Online Event Insurance Program to Include Lowered Rates for Places of Faith

Leave a comment


We wanted to make the insurance process easier, faster and less expensive for people who utilize short term space in faith buildings.


VANCOUVER, British Columbia (PRWEB)

Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. is excited to announce that its online event liability insurance program is now available to the Faith & the Common Good network and National Trust for Canada members (together, Regeneration Works: Places of Faith) and their third party user groups.

The online event liability insurance policy is available in all provinces and territories in Canada.

Available online in less than 5 minutes with no need to talk to a broker; policies start at $25 and certificates proving coverage for the venue are free. A no-obligation quote is available any time of the day or night in less than 3 minutes here: https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/regeneration-works-event-insurance

Up to $5,000,000 in liability insurance is available. Costs arising from injury to guests and staff are insured. The protection in the policy will also cover lawyer costs.

“We wanted to make the insurance process easier, faster and less expensive for people who utilize short term space in faith buildings,” says David Hamilton, President of Front Row. “Given that there is no need to speak to a broker and an insurance company underwriter is not involved, the cost to process online event insurance is much less and we have passed the savings onto the customer of the short term rental. Although the policy is online, we are still available to answer questions by chatbot, email or over the phone.”

“If you’re an administrator of a spiritual venue of any kind, chances are you’ve been asked to share your venue for special events such as: weddings, birthday parties, meetings, yoga classes or workshops,” continues Hamilton. “We recognized that the many beautiful places of faith need to be protected, so we created special rates in our online event insurance program specifically for them.”

Available to buy online at https://www.frontrowinsurance.com/regeneration-works-event-insurance, Front Row’s event insurance policy also protects: anniversary parties, bar & bat mitzvahs, book signings, fashion shows, lectures, film screenings, holiday parties and more.

“Having worked with faith communities across Canada, it has become clear to our two organizations that quick, reliable access to insurance for third party users is a barrier to the sharing of faith buildings,” says Kendra Fry, advisor to the Regeneration Works: Places of Faith program. “We wish to encourage the broader use of these buildings, so we’ve worked alongside Front Row to devise an online portal to be used by any user of faith buildings. With this tool at their disposal, faith communities should be able to open their space to more good community works.”
