Numina Group joins forces with Waypoint Robotics to launch Innovative Autonomous Batch Cart Order Fulfillment Solution


RDS Batch-Bot

Numina Group’s RDS™ Warehouse Execution and Control Software Suite now includes a new Batch Bot Module to optimize, manage and track (AMR) activities, explains Numina Group CEO Dan Hanrahan.

Numina Group and Waypoint Robotics have teamed up to create a powerful autonomous batch order automated order picking solution. Numina Group’s Real-time Distribution Software, RDS™ Batch Bot Voice Picking Application integrates with Waypoint Robotics’ Vector Autonomous Mobile Robot, (AMR) to provide an innovative, highly efficient order picking solution. The RDS™ automation module uses pick by voice commands to direct operator zone movement and picking tasks while coordinating the Waypoint Vector AMR batch cart movement throughout the distribution center (DC). The AMRs, using the Kingpin technology, efficiently pick-up and move carts with heavy and/or large quantities of orders, allowing the operators to focus on the high value order picking duties. The Vector AMR Kingpin connects and drops carts quickly, resulting in higher hourly throughput per cart, and a more efficient pick, pack, and ship operation.

The solution simultaneously coordinates both the Waypoint AMR and order picking to eliminate wasted operator walk time and fatigue caused by manually pushing carts with up to 600 pounds of products throughout the DC. RDS™ directs the Vector AMR with Kingpin pick and drop technology, so the pick carts automatically move to each shelf or rack location. At pick completion RDS™ directs the AMR to transport the finished carts to packing workstations. Vector combined with the RDS™ Batch Bot solution provides higher order fulfillment efficiency, reducing labor costs by 40% or more compared to a manual cart picking process.

“Numina Group’s RDS™ Warehouse Execution and Control Software Suite now includes a new Batch Bot Module to optimize, manage and track (AMR) activities,” explains Numina Group CEO Dan Hanrahan. “The new software module extends the capabilities of our RDS™ Pick by Voice picking application so both the workers and the autonomous batch cart movements are coordinated throughout pick and pack. The Batch Bot module includes order release and prioritization, cartonization pick to carton, put to light order consolidation, and labor and order tracking performance metrics reporting.”

“Waypoint’s Kingpin is the first of its kind dual-use module that enables Vector and MAV3K AMRs to automatically load and unload payloads as well as hitch and transport carts of all sizes,” says Waypoint Robotics CEO, Jason Walker. “Now you don’t have to dedicate a robot for one task or another, with Kingpin you can do both. This combined with Numina Groups RDS order fulfillment automation suite creates a powerful but easy to use solution to improve worker productivity and safety by reducing the heavy lifting.”

Better Therapeutics to Present Phase 2 Data in Type 2 Diabetes at Endocrine 2020


“We are encouraged to see such a strong efficacy signal in a diverse group of patients with long-standing diabetes.” Dr. Mark Berman, Chief Medical Officer

Better Therapeutics, a developer of prescription digital therapeutics for the treatment of cardiometabolic diseases, today announced an upcoming poster presentation at the Endocrine 2020 conference. The presentation will include data from a pilot study of Better’s software-only prescription digital therapeutic in patients with type 2 diabetes. The conference will take place on March 28-31, at San Francisco’s Moscone Center.

The pilot studied 74 participants with type 2 diabetes and a baseline HbA1c ≥ 7%. Diabetes is defined by an HbA1c value of 6.5% or higher. In addition, study participants had a mean age of 55.2 years, baseline BMI of 34.7 kg/m2, 10.6 years since diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and 72% were female.

Here are the details of the upcoming poster presentation:

Poster Title: A Software Application Delivering Behavioral Therapy Improved Glycemic Control in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes

Poster Board #: SAT-LB120

Date & Time: Saturday, March 28, 2020, 1:00 – 3:00 PM

A study abstract of preliminary results has been included in the conference guide, and will be published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society and on the Better Therapeutics website later this month. Highlights of the pilot study include:


  • Mean reduction in fasting blood glucose of 21.9 mg/dL (approximately -1.0% HbA1c) over an average of 73 days between baseline and ending values.
  • Larger improvements in fasting blood glucose are seen in participants with higher use of the behavioral therapy. An improvement of -32.0 mg/dL was observed in the highest tertile of use compared to -14.3 mg/dL in the lowest tertile.
  • Participants used the digital therapeutic 4.4 days a week on average, and spent an average of 6 minutes during each use.


Next, the company will conduct an open-label, multi-site, randomized, controlled, parallel-group trial of its digital therapeutic for treating type 2 diabetes and submit the results as the basis of its premarket submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

About Better Therapeutics

Better is developing prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs) for the treatment of diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions. Today, drugs are used to treat the effects of these diseases while leaving the behaviors that cause them in place. Better’s PDTs treat and often reverse disease by changing behaviors using nutritional CBT, a novel form of digitally-delivered behavioral therapy. Better’s PDTs are clinically-validated, FDA-regulated software applications intended to be prescribed and reimbursed like traditional prescription medicines.

Keller Grover LLP is Investigating Walgreens Data Breach


According to a February 2020 letter sent to affected individuals, Walgreens became aware of a data breach involving the Walgreens mobile app personal secure messaging feature. According to the letter, an application error allowed certain personal messages from Walgreens that are stored in a database to be viewable by other customers using the Walgreen mobile app. The letter states that patient information that might have been viewed by other customers included patient names, prescription numbers and drug names, pharmacy locations, and shipping addresses, where applicable.

“Medical information is considered to be among the most personal and private of information under California law,” says Keller Grover LLP attorney Eric A. Grover. “For that reason, healthcare providers are required to give patients timely notice of data breaches and the negligent release and disclosure of medical information can, under certain circumstances, give rise to claims by affected individuals for money damages.”

Similar medical data breaches involving the failure to properly secure medical information have given rise to class action lawsuits. Recently, for example, St. Joseph Health Systems finalized a class action lawsuit settlement valued at over $30 million involving St. Joseph’s alleged failure to properly secure its network, allowing patient information to become publicly accessible on the internet.

If you have any information about the Walgreens data breach or are a California resident that has been affected by the data breach and have questions, contact Keller Grover’s attorneys at 888-535-5291 or by email at info@kellergrover.com. 

Keller Grover LLP is a leader in the field of medical information privacy litigation and has represented clients in numerous medical data breach class action cases, including lawsuits against St. Joseph Health Systems, Stanford Hospitals and Clinics, Health Net and 21st Century Oncology. Keller Grover will not charge you for reviewing your information and all information that you provide to Keller Grover in the process of seeking legal advice will be held strictly confidential.

Complia Health Secures Five-Year ContinuLink Contract Extension with Interim HealthCare Franchise Network


ContinuLink by Complia Health

“[T]he renewed focus of the Complia Health leadership has made a significant difference in our business, and was instrumental in our decision to extend our ten-year contract for an additional five years.” —David Haslup, President and CEO, Interim HealthCare of Central Virginia

Complia Health announces a five-year ContinuLink contract extension with the Interim HealthCare franchise network, one of the largest home healthcare providers in the country. This contract extension bridges the current ten-year agreement between Interim HealthCare and Complia Health, ensuring a continuation of streamlined compliance, documentation and accounting for home healthcare billing processes.

Interim HealthCare is at the heart of the ContinuLink product. In 2008, the 350 Interim franchise owners realized there was an industry-wide need for a consistent medical billing product to manage multiple lines of business throughout various locations.

The product launched successfully at the end of 2008 and eventually became a separate entity. Complia Health acquired ContinuLink in 2011, where it has remained a product of choice within the industry, helping clients navigate the complexities of home healthcare management while maximizing efficiencies and revenues.

“We consistently deliver on the always-changing regulatory requirements in the industry,” says Brad Caldwell, Chief Revenue Officer of Complia Health. “One of our greatest strengths is facilitating complex payers with multiple business lines, which gives our clients an advantage over their competitors.”

Two Interim HealthCare franchise owners are also part of Complia Health’s Customer Advisory Board see tremendous value in continuing the partnership with ContinuLink.

“We are not jeopardizing the backbone of our company by taking a risk on an unknown vendor in an unknown space,” says Devin Ringling, CEO of Interim HealthCare of Colorado Springs and a member of the Customer Advisory Board. “It only makes sense to continue our long-standing relationship with one of the best partners in the industry.”

Complia Health is committed to customer-centric care, ensuring that their industry-leading customers have the most current, regulatory-compliant products available. In addition to ContinuLink, the industry-changing Mobile Edge caregiver engagement tool satisfies both the Cures Act and EVV mandates. Mobile Edge works seamlessly with ContinuLink, making sure patient details are HIPPA-compliant and remotely accessible for home health caregivers utilizing the platform.

“The newly released Mobile Edge is also a game-changer for our caregivers, helping us meet compliance standards in a more streamlined manner,” says David Haslup, President and CEO of Interim HealthCare of Central Virginia. “Additionally, the renewed focus of the ContinuLink/Complia Health leadership has made a significant difference in our business, and was instrumental in our decision to extend our ten-year contract for an additional five years.”
