Discover The Importance Of Car Insurance Discounts And How To Get Them

Leave a comment


News Image

“Many drivers consider car insurance to be a necessary evil. To lower the costs of insurance, insurance carriers are offering discounts to drivers that fulfill certain requirements,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains how useful are car insurance discounts.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, please visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/why-are-car-insurance-discounts-so-useful/

In order to keep their car insurance coverage active, drivers need to pay their premium bills on time. Some drivers may struggle with their payments, but protecting their assets against any harm is recommended. To save money on car insurance, drivers can try to obtain as many discounts they can from their insurers.

The benefits of car insurance discounts are the following:


  • They help drivers save money. Not everyone can appreciate discounts at their true value. For some, even a small 3-5% discount Is valuable and can help them save hundreds of dollars each year. Car insurance companies are offering discounts that can be as small as 2-3% to quite generous discounts that can be as large as 30-40%. Policyholders should do research and identify all the discounts they are eligible at their insurers. The more discounts they apply, the more they can save on their insurance. Insurers are known for offering large discounts for good drivers, good students, installed safety and anti-theft devices, and bundled policies.

  • Discounts are under the driver’s control. They are one of the few factors that influence car insurance rates and are under the driver’s control. It depends on each policyholder to strive to obtain car insurance discounts. Also, obtaining discounts can help policyholders manage their expenses and at the same time, they can help them avoid the high-risk driver status.

  • Discounts cover a multitude of aspects. Insurance companies are offering multiple discounts for various reasons. Drivers can have access to various discounts after they fulfilled a series of prerequisites. For example, drivers can get a loyalty discount for staying with the same insurer for several years, or they can get a low-mileage discount if they drive fewer miles than a certain limit. For other discounts, drivers need to have a good credit score or they need to be claim-free for several years.

Fieldbit Adds Groundbreaking Augmented Reality Data Visualization Feature to Platform, Further Empowering Enterprise Field Service Technicians

Leave a comment



RA’ANANA, Israel (PRWEB)

Fieldbit, a leader in real-time augmented reality knowledge and collaboration solutions for field service workforces, today announced the addition of real-time data visualization (spatial computing) to its multi-source knowledge platform. Spatial computing empowers field service technicians and operators to more easily navigate in a crowded, multi-asset environment and to maintain, operate, and resolve issues more quickly and effectively.

Technicians and operators servicing oil rigs, refineries, and other process plants, can now easily locate specific devices or components via color-coded status alerts, operational instructions, data and IoT information on their mobile devices. Using smart glasses, tablets, or smartphones, technicians, operators, and even off-site managers can access real-time data and IoT information about machines – even when they are out of view and located behind or inside other equipment.

Spatial computing adds a new layer to the Fieldbit enterprise augmented reality platform and strengthens Fieldbit’s ability to provide industrial asset manufacturers and asset owners with additional tools to overcome the challenges facing field service technicians as they service expensive, complex equipment. “Fieldbit’s new AR Visualization feature makes it much easier for field technicians to see exactly where the problem is – with visual mapping that labels and pinpoints the exact issue,” says Evyatar Meiron, Fieldbit CEO. “Fieldbit’s role is to continue to create features and solutions that simplify the complexity that technicians face in the field each day so that they can easier resolve issues in real-time.”

Fieldbit’s innovative AR technologies enable the frontline workforce in remote locations to collaborate with subject matter experts and management in real-time via smart eyeglasses, mobile devices, and other knowledge sources. Interactive collaboration includes a shared “see-what-I see” field of view, step-by-step automated guidance through logical procedures for preventive maintenance, and APIs for augmenting industrial IoT real-time data or real-time data from legacy automation systems.

At a time when many companies are facing the loss of knowledge due to an aging workforce, Fieldbit’s software platform enables enterprises to create, capture, and share accumulated organizational knowledge once held only in the minds of a few experts. Fieldbit centralizes the knowledge and expertise, and makes it accessible to everyone, so that anyone on the ground can resolve issues. The democratization of knowledge is reflected in a unique, secure repository of practical knowledge that preserves AR interactive instructions, annotated videos, documents, drawings, and pictures. All Fieldbit solutions are GDPR compliant.

“Fieldbit continues to drive efficiencies at DCP through remote mentor AR capabilities. DCP has over 62,000 miles of pipeline spanning multiple states. Utilizing the remote mentor we are able to immediately troubleshoot problems by connecting with the right expert. This tool has led to a reduction in downtime,” said J.C. Chambers, Venture Associate at DCP Midstream.

About Fieldbit:

Founded in 2014, Fieldbit’s multi-source AR knowledge platform offers rich, real-time visualization, collaboration, and integration capabilities that enable enterprise field service to resolve critical problems effectively and efficiently, thereby increasing equipment uptime and production yield. Fieldbit’s high-value AR platform supports a broad range of industries, including energy sector and other utilities, printing, production, and medical device.

nGageIT Digital Health Solutions Creates World’s First ‘Ingestible Nano Bar Codes’ and Intelligent Injection Sensors

Leave a comment



TORONTO (PRWEB)

nGageIT Digital Health Solutions is creating groundbreaking new nano-enabled technology and sensor platforms that promise to transform digital heath care by verifying that medications are ingested or injected correctly, and on schedule, using a smart phone.

“Low medication adherence is arguably the most significant problem in our health care ecosystem, costing over $300 billion dollars in the U.S. alone and leading to over 125,000 premature deaths each year,” said nGageIT Co-Founder Dr. Jennifer Murdoch, an expert in health systems. “The faster we get this out on the market, the more people we can help.”

nGageIT’s sensor technologies monitor when patients take either oral medications or give themselves medical injections at home. This data is automatically uploaded to the cloud through the patient’s smart phone and can be tracked in real-time by health care providers and in clinical trials. This leads to better compliance with medical advice and medical device use, and better health outcomes for the patient.

Patients taking high value medications for serious conditions such as breast cancer or rare orphan diseases can now rely on nGageIT’s predictive dosing system to verify the ingestion of medication and seamlessly automate complex dosing schedules. Physicians are empowered by the medication usage data to precisely customize therapy to a patient’s lifestyle, behavior or genes.

nGageIT’s NanoSmart oral encoding platform turns any approved oral dosage into a digital object. nGageIT’s NanoSmart Biosensor can detect a single, digitally encoded nanoparticle from the more than 2,500 substances in the human breath. The biosensor detects digitally encoded nanoparticles using food grade safe NanoSmart particles, reading them like an “ingestible bar code” from a detection device called the Noz. nGageIT’s platform does not require cumbersome sensor patches to be worn – the patient would simply breathe.

The NanoSmart encoding particles can be safely integrated into current oral dosage coatings used by pharmaceutical manufacturers, minimizing any supply chain disruptions. A compatible app then provides information on dosage and sends automated reminders to the patient. The patient can connect to their healthcare provider through video or live chat as needed.

nGageIT has also developed smart injection devices called iSenz and InsuloSenz that safely and non-invasively detect that proper doses of medication have been injected. nGageIT is the only company in the world that has developed devices that can scan and detect that medication has been injected below the skin, confirm the proper angle of the injection and verify its quality.

“With approximately 1.4 million new cases of diabetes diagnosed in the U.S. each year, smart tools like the iSenz and the InsuloSenz are helping patients inject with confidence,” said Dr. Murdoch of nGageIT Health Solutions.

The InsuloSenz Smart Injector is for more than just insulin delivery – it is a powerful tool designed to enhance diabetic care. InsuloSenz is customized to diabetics and guides the diabetic patient to inject insulin through flashing blue for the correct angle of injection, or red for an incorrect angle. By proactively correcting the injection angle, sub-optimal dosing can be prevented in diabetic patients, making diabetics free to “inject, detect and go.” The InsuloSenz sensor is also being developed to help diabetics determine the best place on the body to inject to prevent complications and poor absorption.

“Can you imagine having to take a shot four times a day and remember to do it on time and do it correctly?” said Raj Reddy, innovation lead at nGageIT Health Solutions. “I certainly can’t. Current insulin pens on the market are not all that smart — it’s like having cruise control but you still have to work the peddles on your car and monitor your speed,” he said. “Those devices don’t scan below the skin, they can’t detect the angle of the device or record the correct dosage. With our InsuloSenz sensor, it’s more like having “super” cruise control on so that you can read the newspaper while driving. This technology will really free up people’s time from complicated at home medication applications and reporting.”

Life science companies can gather the real life experience of patients from nGageIT’s custom patent-pending sensors to measure medication treatment effectiveness and optimize clinical outcomes. This also presents an opportunity for companies to engage in value-based contracts. With over 15 trillion doses of medications in the global supply chain and a substantially related number of disconnected patients — nGageIT aims to connect them all.

“nGageIT aims to improve wellness in the healthcare ecosystem and solve the $564 billion global problem of lost pharmaceutical revenue due to non-adherence and disengaged patients,” said nGageIT’s Raj Reddy. “We are focused on the $34 billion niche in the specialty high-value pharmaceutical market as well as the diabetic market.”

nGageIT Digital Health Solutions is currently evaluating strategic partnerships with major pharmaceutical manufacturers to commercialize its technology.
