The Gypsy Nurse

Furnished Finder is thrilled to partner with The Gypsy Nurse as they are widely recognized as having the largest and most active travel nursing community in the industry (Brian Payne, Co-Founder, CEO, Furnished Finder)

BOCA RATON, Fla. (PRWEB)
March 11, 2020

The Gypsy Nurse, the largest online community dedicated to supporting travel nurses, and Furnished Finder, the largest monthly housing provider for stipend travel nurses, have announced a new strategic partnership that enables travel nurses to easily find and secure short-term housing options while on assignment. Through this relationship, Furnished Finder becomes the new, exclusive housing partner of The Gypsy Nurse.

A family-run company founded in 2014, Furnished Finder is a short-term housing provider for travel nurses who need affordable, monthly, furnished housing. Property owners list their furnished rooms and apartments on Furnished Finder, where they must pass a background check and provide proof of ownership/management for traveler safety. All rents are set directly by the landlord and there are no mark-ups or booking fees, making furnished housing affordable for travel healthcare professionals across the US. Furnished Finder has over 30,000 listings and is used by over 10,000 travelers daily.

“We’re very excited to work with Furnished Finder to make it easier for our travel nurse community to find great housing options for their next assignment through TheGypsyNurse.com website,” said Steve Curtin, CEO of The Gypsy Nurse. “The Gypsy Nurse has always been about supporting travel nurses at every stage of their journey, and with housing and jobs so tightly connected, it makes sense to provide accurate and cost-effective housing choices early in the process so the stipend traveler can make the best decision possible. Travel Nurses prefer to connect with hosts directly before they book and want to ensure that they can find a clean, safe, and affordable place to stay while they’re on assignment. Furnished Finder helps our community do that.”

“Furnished Finder is thrilled to partner with The Gypsy Nurse as they are widely recognized as having the largest and most active travel nursing community in the industry,” said Brian Payne, CEO of Furnished Finder. “Travel nurses have long told us that affordability is a key component with travel nurse housing, which is why our hosts set their own rent and there are no booking fees for either party. Since there are no mark-ups or commissions, Furnished Finder is always the least expensive housing provider. Traveler safety is also extremely important to us, which is why every landlord must complete a comprehensive background screening to ensure they are who they say they are.” Furnished Finder users on The Gypsy Nurse website can search the location map and contact landlords directly or submit a housing request for a geographic area.

“We identified an urgent need in the condo community and worked to design a new insurance product that allows all owners to access the quality coverage and lower prices of a master policy,” said Dan Wallis, CEO and Founder of Motus Insurance Services.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
March 11, 2020

Motus Insurance Services has just launched a new direct-to-consumer, earthquake insurance program aimed at solving the many issues facing California condominium associations. After working with the California Department of Insurance to deregulate access to master earthquake policies, the Motus Opt-in Master Earthquake Program is now available to all associations.

Fewer than ~5,000 of the ~35,000 condo associations in California have a traditional master earthquake policy. This leaves over 2.5 million condominium owners in California without the coverage of a master policy – which is the only way they can fully protect the equity in their homes.

Due to the companion policy provision of individual options, roughly 1.5 million condominium owners – or 10% of the California housing market – are not eligible to buy earthquake insurance.

Realizing these issues facing condo boards and unit owners, Motus brought together some of the most respected earthquake insurers and condo insurance specialists in California. This collaboration developed the Motus Opt-in Master Earthquake Program, which is backed by the largest, admitted earthquake carriers in California.

“We identified an urgent need in the condo community and worked to design a new insurance product that allows all owners to access the quality coverage and lower prices of a master policy,” said Dan Wallis, CEO and Founder of Motus Insurance Services. “Boards benefit too, as the Motus Program allows them to fulfill their obligation to consider earthquake insurance. In fact, they are going a step further: they are offering tailored coverage to all owners and doing so without the burden a traditional master policy puts on an association budget.”

With the Motus Opt-in Master Earthquake Program, all condo owners can fully protect the equity in their homes and have access to the pricing advantage of a master policy. When the California Department of Insurance approved the Motus Program, the barriers between insurance carriers and condo owners were finally removed.

About The Motus Solution

The Motus Opt-In Earthquake Program is designed to bring all the benefits of a traditional master earthquake insurance policy to the more than 30,000 associations and 2.5 million condo owners who are not covered by one.

Only a master earthquake policy can allow a condo owner to fully protect the equity in their home. This is because only a master policy can fully cover damages to residential buildings, foundations, garages, underground pipes and other common areas within the community. Traditional unit owner policies (which are only available to about 1 million of the 2.5 million condo owners who do not have a master policy) were designed to supplement a traditional master policy – not replace the coverage they provide.

Each Motus Program is custom-built based on the specific exposures of the association. Once the board approves the Motus Program for their association, each unit owner then has the option to purchase their pro-rated share of a master policy – covering unit interiors, residential buildings and common areas.

HONG KONG (PRWEB)
March 11, 2020

In one single test and within approximately one hour, the System can identify 30 to 40 pathogens including seasonal influenza viruses, such as influenza A subtypes H1, H2 and H3, avian influenza viruses H5, H7 and H9, human respiratory syncytial virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and 2019-nCoV. Leveraging the current polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology, the system is fully automated from sample nucleic acid extraction and amplification, to signal detection and analysis. The System adopts patent-pending microfluidic and biochemical technologies that achieve ultra-sensitive detection (down to 5 gene copies) and simultaneous differentiation of various pathogens with extremely high specificity. It is also user-friendly, with manual handling not being required throughout the testing process.

“Early and accurate detection of pathogens could contribute to effective and efficient disease control and management, and prevent spreading of any contagious pathogens. It benefits the patients as well because timely therapy can then be applied to prevent complications. The existing challenge is that we lack full panel POCT technologies for early and on-site diagnosis, which should ideally be capable of differentiating between different pathogens at the same time. This newly-developed system could be a practical solution,” said Professor Lau.

PolyU and The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have established the Respiratory Virus Research Foundation (“the Foundation”) in 2015 and have since then been working on various innovative technologies to tackle existing and emerging respiratory infectious diseases. The Foundation has fostered various collaborations, including those on vaccine and rapid diagnostics respectively. The former is led by HKU Professor Yuen Kwok-yung, Henry Fok Professor in Infectious Diseases, Chair Professor of Infectious Diseases from the Department of Microbiology, Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine; the latter is led by PolyU Professor Terence Lau Lok-ting, Director of Innovation and Technology Development and Adjunct Professor at the Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology.

Ir. Professor Alexander Wai Ping-kong, Vice President (Research Development), Deputy President and Provost designate of PolyU said, “In this difficult and challenging time that Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland, and even the global community is encountering, it is important that the research community can quickly pool their expertise and resources to develop practical solutions. The PolyU-HKU partnership is a prime example of effective coupling of multidisciplinary innovation and translation.”

The research team for this project is led by PolyU Professor Terence Lau Lok-ting and supported by HKU Professor Yuen Kwok-yung. Through collaborative efforts, the team has spent the past four years to develop the System. In the past year, the team has optimised the System and conducted trials on different clinical samples. In the midst of the 2019-nCoV outbreak, the team has also conducted tests on clinical samples using the system.

Professor Yuen commented, “The System’s versatility and capability will provide for comprehensive monitoring during disease outbreaks or routine surveillance. It will become a crucial technology for ensuring the effective control of infectious diseases, medical diagnosis, and treatment.”

“This fully automated, quantitative rapid diagnostic platform possesses a proprietary technology which overcomes limitations of existing technologies by ensuring sensitivity – and hence significantly enhancing the reliability of test results. Most importantly, our innovation can substantially reduce the cost of the microfluidic cartridge manufacturing thus making it feasible for wide adoption. It is ready for mass-scale production,” added Professor Lau.

The research team has received indispensable support from a local biotechnology company Avalon Biomedical Management Ltd for this project. “We are honoured to be able to participate in this project and are delighted to see this important milestone in the collaboration between Professor Lau and Professor Yuen. We believe this advanced point-of-care diagnostic system can revolutionize the current diagnostic paradigm and provide a powerful tool to fight against infectious diseases,” said Dr Manson Fok, Chairman of the Board of the company, Executive & Trust Committee member of Macau Henry Fok Foundation and Dean of Faculty of Medicine, Macau University of Science and Technology.

Humankind’s modern day battles against epidemics remain a major challenge and it is vital that we keep learning from the past and equipping ourselves with the best technologies available. Towards this end the research team will continue to urgently focus on developments to ensure the system’s robustness and cost-effectiveness, and to collaborate with relevant parties on clinical trials, regulatory approvals, and frontline applications of this POCT system.
