TPA Stream Raises $1.4M Seed Round To Improve Healthcare Benefits Automation


“To close this new seed funding round and to be named to such a prestigious list are major milestones in the growth of TPA Stream,” said Jacob Sheridan, the company’s co-founder and CEO. “We are grateful for the support of our investors in our technology and team.”

TPA Stream, a leader in healthcare benefits automation, today announced it has closed a $1.4 million seed funding round, led by North Coast Angel Fund (NCAF). The investment will be used to strengthen sales and marketing efforts as TPA Stream moves into its next stage of growth. Additional investors include JumpStart, Plug and Play, Tamiami Angels and individual angel investors.

TPA Stream was also named to VentureOhio’s annual “Top 50 Startups to Watch” list, which is compiled via a competitive nomination process and selected by a panel of judges consisting of more than 25 venture capitalists, entrepreneurs and technologists. The company was one of only 12 Ohio companies named to the list that are in the seed stage.

“To close this new seed funding round and to be named to such a prestigious list are major milestones in the growth of TPA Stream,” said Jacob Sheridan, the company’s co-founder and CEO. “We are grateful for the support of our investors in our technology and team.”

TPA Stream uses proprietary technology to streamline healthcare administration activities, helping to bridge the gap between disparate data sources and reduce both time and cost for third-party administrators (TPAs), health plans, financial institutions, and payroll vendors. The company’s explanation of benefits (EOB) harvesting, billing and integration apps work together to simplify data collection, billing, reimbursement, reporting and other administrative tasks associated with benefits processing. TPA Stream is currently being used by 75 companies across the country.

TPA Stream is tackling the rising costs and complexities associated with healthcare benefits. TPA benefits administrators are the experts in claims processing; however, they often struggle to assimilate the hundreds of different backend systems in use. TPA Stream simplifies this process and provides the necessary integration administrators need to deliver optimal benefits and a transparent claims process for both employers and their employees.

“The TPA Stream team delivers a great balance of industry expertise and startup know-how in addressing a critical challenge for today’s healthcare administrators,” said Todd Federman, managing director of NCAF. “We are excited to partner with them to help build another great healthcare IT company in Cleveland.”

“TPA Stream has the opportunity to become a significant market leader in the healthcare business management space and we are pleased to be supporting their efforts,” said John Opdycke, Venture Partner at JumpStart. “The team has built a proven solution solving real customer pain points while establishing significant industry partnerships to expand their presence in the health data automation market.”

Both TPA Stream and North Coast Angel Fund are located in the Global Center for Health Innovation in downtown Cleveland, a uniquely healthcare-focused innovation hub. The Global Center community is made up of leading healthcare institutions, health IT and medical device startups, corporate partners, investors, advisors, accelerators and more.

Which Wich® Superior Sandwiches Announces New President


Which Wich Superior Sandwiches, the Dallas-based game-changing sandwich brand with more than 400 locations across the globe, has officially announced the promotion of Cherry Hearn to President of the company. Hearn brings experience as both a multi-unit Which Wich franchisee and General Counsel for the brand to the role, as well as an accomplished career as a CPA and attorney prior to joining the brand.

“The sandwich segment is more competitive than ever and as a 15 year old company we are committed to evolving to meet our current and future customer needs,” said Hearn. “Being a leader in the segment means consistently reinforcing our franchisees’ trust in the leadership team and, as a former franchisee in the system, I understand the experience and the support required for Which Wich to win in the local markets that we serve. I am honored to take on this role and look forward to working with all stakeholders in the brand to keep building a strong future for Which Wich.”

Hearn began her career as a CPA with her own firm in Austin, practicing for 14 years before making the decision to go to law school at the University of Colorado-Boulder and enter the legal field. After working for a commercial litigation firm in Denver, Hearn was recruited by Travelocity to move to Dallas and become the then-upstart company’s first intellectual property attorney. After her time at Travelocity, she set up her own practice in Dallas, which is how she first met Which Wich founder Jeff Sinelli who only had three Which Wich locations open at the time. In a “David vs. Goliath” victory, Hearn won a trademark infringement case for Sinelli and Which Wich against a major fast food company using the brand’s name.

“Through preparing for that trademark infringement case, I learned everything I could about Jeff, the Which Wich brand and the state of the sandwich industry at the time. That research led me to believe that no one had the vision that Jeff had for a better sandwich experience. My husband and I decided we wanted to get in on the ground floor of Which Wich. It happened pretty quickly. I met Jeff in April 2005 and we had signed a franchise agreement by July,” said Hearn.

Hearn moved to Austin and opened only the eighth Which Wich location at the time, ultimately opening two more locations in the years after. However, after Which Wich’s first international deal in 2011, and based on the company’s substantial growth in the previous years, Sinelli reached out to Hearn again – this time about joining the corporate team to lend her expertise to the increasing legal support needed for the growing company. Hearn sold her locations and moved to Dallas in 2012 to take on the role of General Counsel, a position she would serve in for seven years and register every trademark that Which Wich owns today.

Now, as Sinelli shifts more attention to the expansion of Which Wich parent company Sinelli Concepts International following the acquisition of Paciugo Gelato Caffe in 2017, plans to launch Supernova Coffee in 2020 and with more brands in development, he has turned to Hearn again, this time to take the helm of Which Wich and drive the brand’s future.

“Cherry has been a vital piece of the Which Wich puzzle since the very beginning and understands the DNA of our brand better than anyone else,” said Sinelli. “I have full faith that we will continue to revolutionize the sandwich industry behind Cherry’s leadership and look forward to this next chapter in our journey.”

Hearn is immediately focusing on evaluating efficiencies and operations at the corporate level while also enhancing corporate support for Which Wich franchisees. She will work on strengthening relationships with third party delivery service providers to improve integration and the company’s competitive edge in that growing space. She will also focus on the company’s training program, attraction and retention of talent in a tight labor market, marketing efforts and menu innovation.

“It’s our duty to continually ask ourselves, ‘What are more ways we can continue to be relevant to all of our customers?’ We are heavily invested in research into new menu options and making sure we understand our customer and who our customer will be in the years to come,” said Hearn. “There are a lot of challenges that our franchisees are facing such as increased competition and a tight labor market, so it’s important that they know and feel that a former franchisee has their back and understands those ups and downs. However, I also have a lawyer’s mentality so compliance is key for us to be successful. We have to make sure that all of our franchisees are operating in a way that benefits and has a positive impact for others in the system.”

Like all members of the Which Wich team, Cherry got to pick her “Vibe” – the black-and-yellow emblem representative of her passion – when she first joined the brand more than a dozen years ago. Her vibe displays “26.2,” the distance of a marathon. Hearn has run in marathons and half marathons for years and she understands that, like with distance running, focusing on the end goal is key.

“When you’re training and competing in a marathon, endurance and overcoming any adversity and obstacles is key. The way to win and succeed is to keep going and keep the vision. That’s the approach I will be taking in moving the Which Wich brand forward.”

Center for Behavioral Health Helps Spearhead Nevada’s 2019 Opioid Summit


The Opioid Summit presents an opportunity for the entire ecosystem that monitors, supports and treats substance use disorders to come together to discuss and share best practices,

Center for Behavioral Health (CBH), a nationally accredited outpatient treatment facility, today announced that it will present on multiple tracks at the 2019 Nevada Opioid Summit. Hosted at the Tuscany Hotel in Las Vegas August 14-15, the event will address numerous topics ranging from prevention to treatment of the evolving opioid crisis.

This year’s Opioid Summit represents the continuation of and success that was started with the inaugural Governor Opioid Summit held in 2016. This year’s conference, headlined by Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak, is timely as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calculated that more 70,237 overdose deaths occurred in 2017. With the increasing rise of overdoses and the introduction of new drugs (i.e. Fentanyl), the recovery treatment industry is looking at new and integrated ways to address what has become an epidemic.

“The Opioid Summit presents an opportunity for the entire ecosystem that monitors, supports and treats substance use disorders to come together to discuss and share best practices,” said Brant Massman, CEO of Center for Behavioral Health. “Opioids have changed the way that addiction is viewed, treated and addressed both in Nevada and across the nation. At Center for Behavioral Health, we realize that successful treatment requires a network of professionals coming from multiple fields and non-traditional approaches to combat opioid use to allow patients the best opportunity to resume a normal life through medical-assisted treatment.”

Center for Behavioral Health has been on the forefront of introducing and implementing a number of patient-centric protocols that integrate many community providers in order to surround patients with a full array of social services. This approach has CBH participating in forums as well as national and community-based conferences across the nation. For example, CBH Director Krista Hales recently participated at the Region 10 Opioid Summit where she presented “Recovery Oriented System of Care: Integrating community providers to address the Opioid Epidemic.” For the Nevada Opioid Summit, Hales will be presenting with a number of other CBH personnel to lead discussions on the following topics:

Community Based Responses: Best Practices for Peer Support Services

Discussing the various roles peers can play in the treatment and recovery continuum from pre-engagement to long term recovery. Describing core competencies for peer support and how agencies can integrate peer support into their programming.

Criminal Justice Interventions: Court Response to the Opioid Crisis in Rural and Urban Communities

Discussing establishment of specialty courts and referrals with community providers.

Strategies for Integration: Integrating SUD Treatment into Primary Care

Reviewing strategies and best practice for integrating substance use disorder screening and treatment into primary care centers. Discussing treatment modalities that can be accessed for diverse environments.

Review of Treatment Systems: IOTRC Overview

Reviewing how Integrated Opioid Treatment Recovery Centers (IOTRC) differ from traditional treatment models, requirements to be designated as an IOTRC, how peers are a valuable component of the hub-and-spoke system, and how mobile recovery teams are being utilized to support communities.

About Center for Behavioral Health

Center for Behavioral Health is an accredited network of growing outpatient facilities and treatment centers that is focused on assisting people addicted to opiates. With 23 locations across the country, CBH provides treatment for all drugs and alcohol, HIV/AIDS, compulsive gambling and domestic violence. Based on location, some facilities offer classes in impulse control, anger management and DUI. CBH is a privately held organization.

Triple W Adds Web Dashboard to DFree Pro – First Wearable Device for Incontinence for Use by Senior Care Providers


https://www.prweb.com/

The DFree Pro web-based dashboard can show patients’ urination timings at a glance using a chart.

“DFree Pro has been helpful in obtaining assessment of our residents,” said Masumi Tatsuno RN, CM who works at Umenoki Gardens Senior Home in Union City, Calif. “Now we can better understand the intervals between bathroom visits and provide more timely care.”

Triple W, an innovator of connected health devices, today announced that DFree® Pro, the first wearable for urinary incontinence, features a new web-based dashboard for monitoring patient data on a browser running on a desktop or laptop computer. Now care professionals can monitor their patients’ urinary status at a glance using either the DFree Pro app on their smartphone or tablet or via the DFree Pro web dashboard on a desktop or laptop computer. DFree stands for “diaper-free” and helps to prevent accidental urinary leaks. DFree Pro is designed for use by hospitals, skilled nursing and senior care communities. DFree Pro is currently used in over 500 senior care communities in Japan, Europe and the U.S. since 2017.

DFree Pro is a non-invasive wearable device that monitors the bladder with an ultrasound sensor and sends notifications to a caregiver’s smartphone, tablet, desktop or laptop computer when their patients need to go to the bathroom via the DFree Pro companion app or the web dashboard. The app and dashboard can track multiple patients on a single screen so the caregiver will know which patients need toileting care. DFree Pro pairs with a WiFi base station to upload a patient’s urination status to the cloud to enable remote monitoring by physicians, nurses and professional care providers.

The device is designed primarily for seniors and people with a disability who suffer from loss of bladder control. DFree Pro can also significantly reduce the burden for caregivers who need to provide bathroom assistance. Based on results from deploying DFree Pro in senior care communities, use of DFree Pro contributed to 30 percent reduction in overall care time provided and 50 percent reduction in cost of diapers and pads used. According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, urinary incontinence affects 500 million people worldwide (including 25 million Americans).

“DFree Pro has been helpful in obtaining assessment of our residents,” said Masumi Tatsuno RN, CM who works at Umenoki Gardens Senior Home in Union City, Calif. “Now we can better understand the intervals between bathroom visits and amount of accumulated urine which enables us to provide more timely care.”

“DFree Pro makes it easy for caregivers to quickly get a read on their patients’ urinary status whether they’re using a smartphone, tablet, desktop or laptop computer,” said Atsushi Nakanishi, Founder and CEO for Triple W. “Caregivers can anticipate each patient’s needs resulting in improved quality of care for the patient while simultaneously improving care efficiency and decreasing the number of diapers needed.”

Availability & Pricing

DFree Pro is available in the U.S. Senior care communities and hospitals may rent DFree Pro for a $100/month subscription per device. Triple W also offers a free 30-day trial option for approved senior care communities and hospitals. DFree Pro includes: a DFree device, USB charging cable, AC adapter and two WiFi base stations. The DFree Pro companion app may be downloaded for free from the App Store and Google Play. The app supports iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod and MacBook) running iOS version 10 or later and Android devices (phones, tablets and laptops) running Android 4.4 or later. Please contact the DFree sales team for details: Christine Cifuentes, Director of Sales, 833-337-3387, ext. 2 (833-DFREEUS).

About Triple W

The company was founded in 2015 and has offices in Tokyo, Paris and San Diego.

Making the list first in 2013, then again in 2018, Donaldson Plastic Surgery was only the fifth medical practice ever to be honored, and the first plastic surgery practice ever to appear, in the Fast 50.

“Our staff is thrilled to be named among the Fast 50, Columbus’s fastest-growing companies, for the third time. We all work very hard to create the finest plastic surgical and aesthetic experiences in central Ohio, and our consistent growth is one important measure of these efforts.”, Donaldson says.

Cybereason’s New ‘Game Changers’ Partner Investments are the Most Lucrative in the Cybersecurity Industry


Cybereason couldn’t be more happy with several newly signed strategic partnerships including Datacentrix and Securelink, as they are an integral part of our expansion. Both partners offer great value in their respective regions,” said Ghazal Asif, Senior Vice President Worldwide Channels, Cybereason

Cybereason, creators of the leading Cyber Defense Platform, today announced several new investments to its partner program, including the launch of Game Changers, a new tier for its most strategic partners. In addition, the company launched Catch30, a new pilot program that can earn the company’s most strategic partners up to 30 percent resale margin to help them drive profitability, services pull through and bring value to mutual customers.

Partners need deep cybersecurity expertise to join Game Changers. Since Ghazal Asif joined Cybereason in January, 2019 as Senior Vice President of Worldwide Channels, the company has signed several new strategic partners, including Datacentrix and Securelink. Cybereason will announce additional partnerships in the weeks ahead with value added resellers, system integrators and MSSPs.

Cybereason recently raised $200 million in new capital from SoftBank Group Corp. to disrupt the Endpoint Protection Platform market and to aggressively expand its partner program. Cybereason will also build the world’s first full stack offering for truly Autonomous Security.

“Cybereason is committed to providing our most strategic partners with differentiated and highly lucrative incentives to help them grow their Cybereason business. Our new offering is hands down the best the cybersecurity industry has to offer as we want our partners to deepen profitability, provide sticky services while solving the most complex security risks for our joint customers,” said Asif. “We have added several enablement tracks and certifications to help our partners take our platform to market. From pre-sales to post-sales, our enablement program is tailored to our partners’ needs.”

Cybereason is among the fastest growing cybersecurity companies in the world, with distribution in all major global markets. Cybereason’s customer base has increased by more than 300 percent in the past 12 months due to joint efforts with partners and the company has more than six million endpoints under protection.

“Datacentrix is pleased to partner with Cybereason to bring additional value to our industry-leading Security Operations Centre (SOC), which monitors and defends customer ICT environments in real-time against any potential security threats. In today’s cyber security landscape, it is clear that organizations – both at a local level and across the globe – face an increasingly sophisticated set of risks and threats to their businesses. Cybereason’s full suite of endpoint detection and response (EDR), next-generation antivirus (NGAV) and active monitoring technology and services, and its dedication to growing local market share has us excited about the future of our partnership,” said Wayne Olsen, Head of Security Business Unit, Datacentrix.

Additional partner program enhancements include:

MDR-in-a-Box: Cybereason’s MDR-in-a-Box program is designed to help strategic partners increase market share through the delivery of new SaaS driven cybersecurity solutions. By leveraging the Cyber Defense Platform and program approach, partners can fast track new, high-demand service offerings and provide their customers with a holistic managed solution that addresses their unique needs. MDR-in-a-Box addresses significant demand from Cybereason’s mid-market and enterprise customers who understand that today’s cybersecurity defenses are not sufficient, and want a more robust 24×7 solution that address’s all their security.

RetroHunt: Cybereason’s new product enables security analysts to go back in time and answer conclusively whether they are impacted by a cyberattack and understand the timeline of low and slow cyber attacks which can go back in time months or years. In addition, RetroHunt helps solve the data retention challenge for compliance requirements as well as being able to understand the full attack lifecycle.

“Cybereason couldn’t be more happy with several newly signed strategic partnerships including Datacentrix and Securelink, as they are an integral part of our record growth and expansion. Both partners offer tremendous value in their respective regions. We’re launching our rolling thunder campaign to announce additional partners and I couldn’t be happier with all of them,” said Asif.
