Massachusetts Contracts with STACS DNA for Track-Kit Statewide Sexual Assault Kit Tracking


News Image

“We are very pleased to have in STACS DNA a strong partner dedicated to helping us fulfill this important directive,” said MA Secretary of Public Safety and Security Thomas A. Turco.

STACS DNA, the sample-tracking software company, today announced that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has selected Track-Kit as its sexual assault evidence collection kit (SAECK) tracking system. Led by the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security (EOPSS) and the Executive Office of Technology Services and Security, the system is to be implemented in all regions of the state by the end of the year.

“Building and implementing a robust tracking system for Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kits is one of the most important aspects of the criminal justice reform bill signed into law last year and we are very pleased to have in STACS DNA a strong partner dedicated to helping us fulfill this important directive,” said MA Secretary of Public Safety and Security Thomas A. Turco.

“This tracking system will provide a greater degree of awareness and utility for criminal justice stakeholders involved in sexual assault evidence collection and will provide a sexual assault survivor with critical information as to the status of their kit,” said MA Secretary of Technology Services and Security Curtis M. Wood. “I am pleased to play a role in deploying this important system across the Commonwealth.”

Track-Kit will be implemented to thousands of users at hospitals, law enforcement agencies, forensic DNA laboratories, district attorneys’ offices, EOPSS, and other stakeholders across the state. Most importantly, it will be available to sexual assault survivors, confidentially providing the status and location of their kit as well as local sexual assault resources and contact information.

Under the agreement, STACS DNA will provide turnkey services to ensure a smooth and rapid rollout. This includes comprehensive training with online webinar sessions for users at each facility, as well as technical, multichannel end-user support 24/7. Massachusetts will be the sixth state for which STACS DNA has implemented Track-Kit sexual assault evidence collection kit-tracking.

“We are pleased to be working with EOPSS to deliver sexual assault evidence collection kit tracking to the citizens of Massachusetts,” says Jocelyn Tremblay, President and COO, STACS DNA. “We can help them get up and running very quickly and securely to provide vital information to everyone who needs it across the state.”

The SAECK tracking system is being implemented in response to the passage of Chapter 69 of the Acts of 2018, An Act Relative to Criminal Justice Reform, with supporting funding in 2019. The new law mandates establishing a statewide tracking system intended to provide survivors access to the testing status of their sexual assault evidence collection kits.

Sentinel Benefits & Financial Group Announces New Direct-to-Consumer Healthcare Benefits Offerings


Sentinel Benefits & Financial Group logo

Sentinel Benefits & Financial Group, a leading provider of financial planning and investment products and solutions, announces that it now offers individual health savings accounts (HSAs). Sentinel’s Health + Wealth model, which is designed to create an engaged and better-prepared workforce, allows partners and individuals to rethink their overall benefits spend and value.

“We partner with our clients to create an environment that encourages retirement readiness, promotes healthy choices, and empowers participants to take control of their financial well-being,” said Scott Riordan, vice president of health and welfare services at Sentinel. “Our Health + Wealth experts help simplify the benefits process for plan sponsors, and our financial planners put it all into perspective for participants.”

Sentinel Benefits’ HSA tools are powered by WEX, a leading financial technology service provider. Since 2008, Sentinel has offered HSAs to employers, and new research shows that its HSA participants (across both accounts tied to an employer and those opened by an individual) have invested 30 percent of their HSA contributions as of July 31, 2019. This is higher than the industry data that states that, at the end of 2018, only 18 percent of HSA contributions across all accountholders were invested.

Historically, healthcare (meaning insurance, benefits and reimbursement accounts) and wealth (meaning retirement plans, investment vehicles, among others) have been siloed into separate buckets. However, Sentinel is successfully breaking down those siloes by designing and administering both health and wealth plans.

To help raise greater awareness of the value of heath savings accounts, Sentinel will take part in National HSA Awareness Day, a day designed to help Americans understand the many ways that HSAs can be used to save money using pre-tax dollars to pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses. Jean Chatzky, founder and CEO of HerMoney, renowned financial expert, and best-selling author will serve as a 2019 educational ambassador for HSA Day. Along with WEX’s Health division and other partners, Chatzky is sharing the benefits and value of owning and using an HSA via social media using #LoveMyHSA. To register for HSA Day, visit http://www.hsaday.com.

SWAGTRON’s NG3 Electric Skateboard Keeps Cruising After Kids Kick Off


best kids electric skateboard

SWAGTRON’s NG3 electric skateboard for kids features “kick to cruise” technology.

Our goal with the NG3 was to create an electric skateboard that offered kids the chance to experience the thrill of riding an e-board, but in a way that was a natural transition from traditional skateboards.

SWAGTRON®, the leader in affordable light electric vehicles, today introduces the all-new Swagskate NG3, a compact electric skateboard built just for kids. The mini e-board features “kick to cruise” technology aka Endless Mode, allowing young riders to experience the thrill of riding a board boosted by an electric motor without the need for a remote. Once the rider kicks off, the motor takes over and smart sensors in the board maintain speed automatically.

The NG3 is capable of speeds up to 9.3 mph, but only maintains whatever speed the rider achieves by kicking (think: cruise control), making it an intuitive way for young riders to progress from riding a traditional skateboard to an electric one. The motor disengages once any deceleration or resistance is detected allowing riders to slow and stop the same as a traditional board. Powered by a 100-watt motor, the NG3 can support riders up to 150 pounds and go up to 6 miles per charge.

“Our goal with the NG3 was to create an electric skateboard that offered kids the chance to experience the thrill of riding an e-board, but in a way that was a natural transition from traditional skateboards,” says CMO Jason Wakefield. “And of course, to make it available at a price that parents would approve of.”

The Swagskate NG3 is compact; at only 19.6 inches long it fits easily in a backpack. And weighing in at only 7.7 pounds, it’s easy to carry, too. The lightweight deck features a futuristic shape and the griptape is emblazoned with the iconic lion logo. An LED taillight doubles as a color-coded systems indicator. A multicolor display shows during standby, while green means charged and ready to ride and red indicates braking. The LED also helps keep riders visible in low-light conditions.

The Swagskate NG3 kids electric skateboard retails for $160 and is available now at Swagtron.com, Amazon and select retailers for an introductory price of only $129.99.
