ZVOX Online Hearing Test Screen Shot

The ZVOX screening uses words in background noise, which may better represent your difficulty in noisy environments. Available at zvox.com/hearingtest, all you need to take the screening is a pair of headphones or earbuds.

SWAMPSCOTT, Mass. (PRWEB)
November 04, 2019

ZVOX Audio, the pioneering speaker and hearing technology company, has launched an online hearing screening that allows people to get a hearing analysis without leaving their homes. Unlike conventional tests, which measure your ability to hear “beep sounds” at various frequencies and volumes, the ZVOX test measures your ability to understand the human voice in a noisy environment. Developed by hearX Group, a South African digital hearing company, the new test is based on a recently published study of hearing assessment.

“Conventional hearing tests use tones to evaluate your hearing,” says ZVOX CEO Tom Hannaher. “But this screening uses words in background noise, which may better represent your difficulty in noisy environments.” Available at zvox.com/hearingtest, all you need to take the screening is a pair of headphones or earbuds. While some people should have their hearing tested by a trained audiologist, for those with mild to moderate hearing loss, the ZVOX test should prove to be highly effective.

ZVOX. A new kind of hearing company.

ZVOX was founded in 2003 by two long-time consumer electronics veterans. ZVOX is credited by CNET with “perfecting the TV sound bar.” In 2016 they introduced a TV speaker that uses hearing aid technology to make dialogue easier to understand. Their patented AccuVoice design led them into the world of audiology and hearing aids, where they met Dr. Thomas Powers, former VP of Audiology for Siemens Hearing Aids. Dr. Powers helped guide the development of ZVOX’s VB20 hearing aid.

ZVOX now makes a variety of hearing related products including speakers, wireless headphones and hearing aids. It sells though zvox.com, Amazon, Home Shopping Network, QVC, and selected retailers including Magnolia stores within Best Buy locations.

About ZVOX.

ZVOX, a pioneer in speaker and hearing aid technology, is recognized for introducing the first commercially successful sound bar in 2004, the first soundbase TV audio system in 2008, and the first speaker dedicated to dialogue clarity in 2016. The company has been committed to enhanced hearing solutions for over 16 years.

With Updox’s unified patient engagement platform, providers can use a single login to access all communications channels, like text messaging and automated reminders. Then, we add solutions for inter-office communications and document management, from that same platform.

DUBLIN, Ohio (PRWEB)
October 28, 2019

Updox, an all-in-one healthcare collaboration platform that combines patient engagement, provider communications and internal productivity, is seeing significant increase in adoption rates as providers and consumers both demand greater patient engagement for improved care coordination. Usage of Updox’s inter-office Messenger solution grew 531%, HIPAA-compliant Secure Text usage increased 746% and Video Chat usage grew to exceed more than 600% in 2019, demonstrating the value of an all-in-one platform.

This growth mirrors healthcare providers’ cries for greater efficiency, cost-effectiveness and collaboration from their technology vendors as they move to improve the overall patient experience. For example, in Updox’s 2019 Healthcare Technology Report: More Logins, More Problems, providers stated their biggest technology frustration was the lack of integration between point solutions, which is why more than 40% of respondents said they would reduce their number of technology vendors if they could find one platform that offered multiple solutions.

Innovation Driven by Patient Preference

“For so long, healthcare has focused on the patient experience, yet patient engagement solutions haven’t taken off. They require staff to have special logins or patients to download apps. We take a different approach,” said Michael Morgan, CEO of Updox. “With Updox’s unified patient engagement platform, providers can use a single login to access all communications channels, like text messaging and automated reminders. Then, we add solutions for inter-office communications and document management, from that same platform. The industry prefers everything in one place and that’s what we’ve given them.”

Updox Engagement solutions work together to allow providers to maximize the patient experience in ways that are resource-efficient. For example, for patients following an orthopedic procedure, initial instructions can be sent via SMS text. If the patient has further concerns or questions about a potential complication, they can ask questions or send a photo through Secure Text, if necessary, and a follow-up consultation can be completed via Video Chat. All of this can be done within the Updox platform without logging into multiple systems, which results in happier staff, increased patient satisfaction, better communications between providers and improved health outcomes.

The Only All-in-One Collaboration Platform

“Over the past year we have taken large strides in further enhancing our commitment to simplifying the business of healthcare. In doing so, we did what others thought was impossible. We created technology that people actually like to use. This lets us fill an enormous demand and elevate our market presence even more,” Morgan added.

Notable Updox milestones include:

Storing 157 million patient records

Distributing 27 million patient notifications

Facilitating 55 million patient appointments

Delivery of more than one billion healthcare documents

Updox’s success in 2019 is best demonstrated through its customer success stories, which include: a pediatrician who saves $30,000 a year with Updox; a multi-location health system using Updox to improve their efficiency and daily communications; and a community pharmacist using Updox’s digital marketing services to drive 645 website visitors and 500 phone calls to her pharmacy.

“Other solutions required too many steps or took too much time. Thank you, Updox, I knew someone would finally get it right,” said Brian Nyberg, M.D., who runs a specialty psychiatric practice in Cedar City, Utah. “Now, I have the technology in place where I don’t have to compromise the way I want to care for my patients.”

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)
October 29, 2019

As the global cannabis movement gains momentum through emerging legislation and mainstream popularity, cannabis advocate organization Pre-Royale has launched its inaugural premium product on Indiegogo – ROYALE G The Most Revolutionary Herb Grinder.

ROYALE G takes the traditional grinder concept to the next level – featuring everything you will find on your standard grinder, but with a modern, sophisticated and elegant design and many new features all consumers will love.”

ROYALE G features include:

Gold-Plated Trim: ROYALE G brings convenience and luxury into one product, with a “splash of gold” for a sophisticated premium feel. It embodies a stigma breaking message which showcases the new cannabis culture and lifestyle.

Multi-Functional Clip Scooper: An innovative accessory that makes it easy to scoop and navigate ground herb after securing the grinder, with no need for direct contact that often results in “sticky fingers.”

Modular Design: Perfect for travel, the conveniently-sized herb grinder is ideal for life on-the-move – offering portability and a size-adjustable design. Great for separating strains as desired.

Airtight Storage Compartment: Scale down to the portable model and use the spare compartment as an airtight storage with the two additional lids provided. It’s a two-in-one grinder and storage package deal.

Double Anodized Aerospace Grade Aluminum: Built to be durable, this cutting-edge specific form of aluminum acts as a security vault for bud, providing protection with incredible strength and an ultra-soft finish.

“We love the grinder’s sleek anodized aerospace-grade aluminum build, and we know our customers will too,” Lee said. “The gold-trim accent seals the deal, with a luxurious design that reimagines the global cannabis movement. But it’s about more than fancy features. It’s about empowerment and making consumers part of something bigger…something revolutionary.”

Lee says the Pre-Royale Team is passionate about delivering impeccable quality, first with ROYALE G and with future luxury products.

“We’re proud to be cultivating a new culture and lifestyle for cannabis enthusiasts worldwide, inspiring our fellow consumers to live their lives on their terms,” he said. “Many users are afraid to express their passions, fearing embarrassment, judgement…or even job loss. We’re here to change that by making cannabis usage classy, stylish and luxurious for everyone. Today, doctors, lawyers, architects, musicians, and professionals of all kinds are becoming more aware of the undeniable benefits of cannabis.”

“We have led the safety industry for over 70 years, and this award is a product of PRECO’s experience and achievement. Side Defender®II is just the beginning of what will come of our teams’ innovative potential.” – Jim Bean, PRECO’S CEO

BOISE, Idaho (PRWEB)
October 29, 2019

PRECO Electronics® announces PreView® Side Defender®II was named the 2019 Commercialized Innovation of the Year, one of five competing categories for the Idaho Innovation Awards. Designed to eliminate deaths caused by turning heavy-duty equipment in crowded, low-speed environments, Side Defender®II is the second PRECO product to receive the innovation award after the PreView Sentry® Plus won in 2017.

“Our engineering team had strict specifications that needed to be met,” said Jon Cole, PRECO’s lead engineer for Side Defender®II. “There was no solution like it on the market, and we were up against high-level competitors. At the time, it was a challenge that seemed insurmountable. But, from development and testing to manufacturing, we rose to the challenge and exceeded all requirements.”

Commercial vehicle safety issues have gained international attention as bicyclists, motorcyclists, pedestrians and other vulnerable road users (VRU) are more and more frequently involved in collisions with turning trucks and buses on city streets. Today, the European Union (EU) is moving towards legislation mandating turn assist safety technology for heavy-duty vehicles, and Vision Zero cities in North America are asking commercial truck fleets to take similar action.

Developed in response to these global initiatives to avoid fatalities, Side Defender®II’s radar-based system provides collision warning capabilities that actively monitor the vehicle’s side blind spots, detecting moving VRUs within the detection zone. In addition, third party testing has shown the Side Defender®II to be the most accurate system with fewer false alerts than any other available, successfully minimizing risk, improving safety, and reducing incident rates.

Designed for use on trucks, buses, and other medium and heavy-duty on-road equipment, Side Defender®II’s sensors are built rugged, optimal for industries within environments requiring robust, reliable solutions.

With partners, dealers, and numerous original equipment manufacturers (OEM) around the world, PRECO is committed to mitigating the broad and complex safety issues facing heavy-duty industries, delivering advanced collision warning systems around the world. One such example is the recently announced partnership with Scania, a division of Traton, Volkswagen Group.

“This was an incredible project, and our team was up to the task. Side Defender®II is the product of team effort, not just from engineering, but from sales, business development, and everyone in production and manufacturing,” concluded Cole.

PRECO is locally based in Boise, Idaho and designs, engineers, and manufactures in-house, making it possible to develop customized solutions for customer specific needs. All safety products go through the industry’s most rigorous testing to ensure reliable performance in the harshest working conditions imaginable, so operators and fleets can perform with greater confidence and peace of mind.

“Side Defender®II has been recognized globally, namely in ADAC testing service’s recent EU side turn assist comparison, as the industry’s most accurate and reliable side collision mitigation solution for urban environments,” Jim Bean, PRECO’s CEO, said. “We have led the safety industry for over 70 years, and this award is a product of PRECO’s experience and achievement. Side Defender®II is just the beginning of what will come of our teams’ innovative potential.”

Finalists were recognized during the 14th Annual Idaho Technology Council “Hall of Fame” featuring the Idaho Innovation Awards. A selection committee comprised of more than 30 leaders from Idaho’s technology, business, and academic communities evaluated the nominations.

“I was impressed with PRECO’s proprietary technology that allows Side Defender®II to successfully identify pedestrians and bicyclists versus stationary objects,” committee member Denise Dunlap, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Loon Creek Capital Group, LLC, said. “This technology will become more important as the number of VRUs increases on our streets and highways. I am proud that we have companies such as PRECO building innovative solutions to worldwide problems right here in Idaho.”

Stoel Rives presented the 2019 Idaho Innovation Awards on Wednesday, October 23, 2019, at the Boise Centre in Boise, Idaho. The event featured keynote speaker Intuit Chairman of the Board, Brad Smith. The Idaho National Laboratory and J.R. Simplot Company were named this year’s inductees into the Hall of Fame. Specializing in technology and innovation, these companies have grown from local ideas to startups and now powerhouses and leaders of change and innovation.
