Email groups and newsletters as we know them today began when Eric Thomas invented LISTSERV® in 1986.

I was a site admin since Day 1 and worked with LISTSERV for many years at Technion, starting in 1986. Only with the idea and implementation of the mailing list – Eric Thomas being first to do it worldwide – did mass communication become very thorough and proficient. Moshe Barak

June 29, 2021

Nostalgia has made quite the comeback, and the Internet is no exception. So it’s delightful that the most familiar innovations of email and LISTSERV® – two of the major IT inventions still thriving – celebrate key milestones in 2021.

The comprehensive story of how we arrived at the current and ever-evolving tech-driven communication space of today is nothing short of astounding – a reflection of human ingenuity, determination and a vision of a more connected society.

Ray Tomlinson’s 1971 invention of email using the @ sign to separate the username and destination server, “user@host” launched the first email network, ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network).

Fast-forward a decade and BITNET, aka, “Because It’s Time Network” is introduced. Tim Berners-Lee hadn’t invented the World Wide Web yet. But people kept the networks of the mid-1980s busy despite minimal bandwidth. Email lists existed on LISTSERV@BITNIC as of 1984, but they required manual administration.

With the popularity of mailing lists growing and all lists being administered manually, the process became so slow and cumbersome that it threatened the viability of mailing lists altogether. Eric Thomas, then an engineering student in Paris, was determined to keep mailing lists alive, so he invented LISTSERV software to automate mailing lists once and for all.

Thomas created the first version of LISTSERV, called “Revised LISTSERV” at the time, in June 1986. Email groups and newsletters as we know them today began.

In Eric Thomas’s words:

“My goal was simply to create a tool that would allow mailing lists to prosper while making life easier for subscribers and list owners. It was a simple idea whose success exceeded all my expectations. Sometimes you set about solving a small problem, and later on you realize that you have actually solved a big problem.”

From then on, the Internet culture of communications and knowledge exchange has been able to flourish. And flourish it did.

Three and a half decades of continuous development later, LISTSERV® software and its SaaS version are widely used by all types of organizations around the world. LISTSERV lists, from discussion and support groups for people with rare diseases to company newsletters and university or government announcement services, continue to help people and organizations communicate, collaborate and connect.

Moshe Barak, who now uses LISTSERV for environmental activism, shares some nostalgia from his earliest days as a 35-year university LISTSERV administrator:

“I was a site admin since Day 1 and worked with LISTSERV for many years at Technion, starting in 1986. Only with the idea and implementation of the mailing list – Eric Thomas being first to do it worldwide – did mass communication become very thorough and proficient.”

Ginger Sawyer, GSI Board Member and Treasurer, describes how LISTSERV helps people with rare diseases around the world get support and build knowledge:

“GSI (Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Support International) is truly a patient-driven organization, held together by the bonds of our email groups, which serve as our support system. Each and every person who associates with GSI through our LISTSERV discussions leaves a lasting piece of information and history for those who will follow in the future.”

Additional key inventions by Eric Thomas were integrated into LISTSERV over the years, including:

•     Double opt-in subscription confirmation in 1993
•     The industry’s first spam filter in 1995
•     The first LISTSERV blog in 2019

“Bringing our software-based solution to the iPhone is a major step in our mission to make monitoring readily available and connecting actionable data to clinicians around the world,” said Eliott Jones, CEO and co-founder of Biospectal.

SAN FRANCISCO, and LAUSANNE, Switzerland (PRWEB)
June 28, 2021

Biospectal, the remote patient monitoring and biosensing software company, today announced the alpha launch of Biospectal OptiBP™ for iOS at MWC Barcelona 2021. Backed by grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Grand Challenges Canada, and Innosuisse, Biospectal OptiBP empowers people worldwide with a medical-grade software that integrates directly into the ubiquitous smartphone already in their pocket, enabling instantaneous blood pressure measurement and monitoring, anytime and anywhere. The alpha launch of Biospectal OptiBP for iOS follows the public beta launch of Biospectal OptiBP for Android announced earlier this year at CES 2021. View a short video of how Biospectal OptiBP works here.

The World Health Organization estimates 1.13Bn people worldwide have hypertension. Dubbed the “silent killer,” only one in five people afflicted with hypertension has control over their condition. People need an easy to use means to accurately measure, monitor, track and share their blood pressure data with their doctors; a need that the onset of COVID-19 and demand for telehealth solutions has only amplified. Biospectal’s patented OptiBP technology replaces the antiquated traditional blood pressure cuff and provides medical-grade blood pressure measurement and management at the ‘point of patient’ in the time it takes to download an app.

“During the course of developing Biospectal OptiBP and sharing our plans with third parties, we were surprised to find how widespread and intense the need was for a scalable, practical, and convenient way to measure blood pressure,” said Eliott Jones, CEO and co-founder of Biospectal. “Our early research across the board revealed that the current cuff-based method of measuring blood pressure was both cumbersome for patients (so they didn’t use it themselves), and drove a lot of cost across players in the care process around hypertension. Bringing our software-based solution to the iPhone is a major step in our mission to make monitoring readily available and connecting actionable data to clinicians around the world. We have found this to be universally appealing across almost all touchpoints and players involved.”

How Biospectal OptiBP Works.

The Biospectal OptiBP app runs on a typical smartphone and uses the built-in camera to record a user’s blood flow via their fingertip quickly and easily. A measurement is rendered in approximately 20 seconds — half the time of a typical blood pressure cuff. Biospectal’s proprietary algorithms and optical signal capture methods then transform the captured data into blood pressure values. Additionally, the captured blood pressure data connects seamlessly with a user’s clinicians to support treatment regimens that help improve health, longevity and quality of life.

Key benefits include:

• Connected remote patient monitoring shortens the pathway from measurement to action in a clinical regimen;
• Easy to use with an existing, ubiquitous device — the smartphone — removes adherence barriers;
• Allows users to measure and monitor their blood pressure in their ‘natural’ environment, which is where blood pressure should be monitored;
• App form factor offers continuous product improvement and feature updates; and
• Unprecedented data insights drive higher value for drug development and lower insurance costs.

No other blood pressure monitoring and management device on the market offers both the medical-grade accuracy and convenience of Biospectal. “As a cardiologist who is actively tracking patients and their vital signs, my work is moving with increasing momentum to remote engagement through telemedicine solutions. The Covid pandemic has accelerated this process by at least several years, where suddenly remote connection with patients has become essential to the basic care regimen,” says Dr. Fred St. Goar, MD. “I can’t see us going back to the way we used to do things, and that’s a great thing for patients, doctors, and the cost and effectiveness of the health care delivery system. Simply put, remote patient monitoring will be part of the status quo going forward.”

A large-scale, third-party clinical research study published by Scientific Reports in Nature validated the ability of the Biospectal OptiBP smartphone app to accurately measure blood pressure utilizing transdermal optical sensing and a smartphone camera lens. Additionally, in May 2021 two independent global research and validation studies using its Biospectal OptiBP blood pressure measurement app. These studies further Biospectal’s ability to transform the global network of smartphones into a connected, clinical-grade blood pressure monitoring platform — democratizing access and bringing the power of remote patient monitoring to people and communities worldwide.

Biospectal trained its software algorithm using over two million resulting invasively acquired blood pressure samples recorded in the operating room of the CHUV in partnership with the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM), and then validated it with outpatients in the hypertension clinic CHUV. The company’s patented technology represents 10+ years of non-invasive optical biosensing R&D led by Biospectal Chief Medical Advisor, Dr. Patrick Schoettker, M.D..

The Biospectal OptiBP for iOS alpha is available now in the US, UK, France, Germany, Spain and Switzerland. Interested participants can register for the alpha here or sign up to be notified once Biospectal OptiBP becomes available in their country. Biospectal is attending MWC Barcelona, June 28 – July 1, 2021. Visit us at Hall 2 Stand 2H14.1 and contact biospectal@wearemgp.com to set up a meeting. Access the press kit here.

Most small-to-medium businesses are unsure about how IoT technology can boost their business. We see our membership in the ioXt Alliance as part of our mission to help these companies overcome their concerns.

DALLAS (PRWEB)
June 23, 2021

Moving to strengthen its role as a leading marketer of IoT (internet of things) products and services, Forward Vision Marketing has joined the ioXt Alliance, the only global, industry-led IoT product security and certification program in the world.

“The ioXt Alliance is the Global Standard for IoT security and the perfect fit for us because of our history helping clients accelerate adoption of their IoT offerings,” said Kelly Stark, founder and principal of Forward Vision. “Studies have found that a great many IoT projects fail due to poor adoption. Clients turned to us to avoid that.”

Stark said the firm creates B2B strategies that best communicate IoT benefits, including a clear understanding of the technology’s advantages to businesses and their end-users.

Stark noted that the number of IoT devices worldwide is forecast to triple to 24.5 billion by 2030. “Most small-to-medium businesses are unsure about how IoT technology can boost their business,” she said. “We see our membership in the iOxt Alliance as part of our mission to help these companies overcome their concerns. We show them how to engage prospective buyers in every step of their journey — to educate, inform and win their trust.”

“We’re pleased to welcome Forward Vision to the ioXt Alliance,” said Brad Ree, CTO of the ioXt Alliance. “As we continue our work to create a secure ecosystem for connected devices globally, the involvement and support from experienced IoT industry practitioners like Forward Vision is critical to help us achieve our goals.”

IoT products can provide almost anything a business or consumer would like, plus the convenience of being able to manage it through a web app or a mobile device. However, many industry leaders see security concerns as a major barrier to IoT adoption.

As the ioXt Alliance addresses security concerns, a major part of Forward Vision’s mission is to encourage adoption. The company specializes in helping companies launch new products and services using a proven methodology known as the “Start Right — Finish Well” launch management process. “Because a market launch involves dozens of moving parts, companies that succeed at it understand the importance of carefully crafting a cohesive sales and marketing plan to reach their sales goals,” she said.
