PDA Announces 2023 Drug Delivery Innovation Award Winners at Universe of Pre-Filled Syringes Conference


The Partnership Innovation Award is presented to the Stevanato Group, Bayer US LLC and Vetter Pharma-Fertigung for the innovation of Diluent PFS for reconstitution and administration of a lyophilized biologic. This partnership innovation involved the close collaboration of the development groups of three parties: the glass barrel manufacturer (Stevanato), the diluent PFS manufacturer (Vetter), and the combination product manufacturer (Bayer). The goals of this partnership were to solve a potential compatibility issue with the diluent PFS and biologic drug product and reduce the gliding forces of the diluent PFS during drug product reconstitution. This collaboration highlights the benefits of bringing together stakeholders with their own process expertise to solve a complex issue with a combination product that benefits each of these stakeholders.

“The companies recognized for the 2023 PDA Drug Delivery Innovation Awards are well-deserving of this honor and I congratulate them for their achievements and tireless effort to move the industry forward,” said PDA President & CEO Glenn Wright. “They, and all the companies that were considered for this award presented technology innovations that will certainly benefit patients worldwide and for that we are all grateful.”

  • Scientifically Formulated: JYM Hydration is backed by the same rigorous scientific research that has made JYM Supplement Science a trusted name in the industry. Each ingredient is carefully selected and dosed to provide maximum benefit for optimal performance.
  • Optimal Sodium, Potassium, and Chloride Electrolyte Ratio: JYM Hydration specifically addresses the three main electrolyte problems with many hydration drinks on the market: too much sodium, not enough potassium, and the absence of chloride. JYM Hydration includes all three minerals in proper amounts in addition to adequate levels of magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus.

This natural ingredient supports a healthy response to daily stress and has also been shown to boost athletic performance by increasing power output, promoting oxygen uptake, and supporting cardiorespiratory fitness.
  • L-Theanine: The amino acid L-Theanine has been shown to help maintain feelings of calmness while remaining alert. As a nootropic, L-Theanine complements the impacts of Ashwagandha, and in the presence of caffeine in the bloodstream it may also assist in extending its cognitive-enhancing benefits.
  • Refreshing Taste: JYM Hydration comes in two delicious flavors, PiQa Colada and Lemon Lime, that provide a light, refreshing sweetness without the sugary aftertaste of traditional sports drinks. A better flavor makes staying hydrated that much easier.

Keep Safe Care Makes First Strategic Hire, Plans for Expansion


Keep Safe Care Hires Ashton Rondon as it prepares to expand in Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Keep Safe Care, launched in Austin, Texas, announces it has hired Ashton Rondon as its Administrative Director to help with the expansion of Keep Safe Care’s Private-Duty-in-a Box2 concept across America. The company launched two years ago to address the growing cost and inefficiencies of the in-home private duty, personal services caregiving sector as well as to rectify some of the issues of low caregiver pay, truancy, and turnover.

Ashton Rondon brings over 15 years of extensive expertise in helping organizations grow and expand organically. As CEO Jeffrey Fry states, “This is a critical role in our expansion plans for Keep Safe Care. As is an experienced public relations, marketing, and project management practitioner, her expertise will be critical to help Keep Safe Care grow from one location in Austin, to many locations throughout the United States.” Mr. Fry continues, “Her know-how and operational and project management expertise will be essential in helping new licensed Affiliates successfully join and integrate into our growing network of Keep Safe Care locations.”

“I have been fortunate enough to have worked with some startups in the past which positively impacted their industries before they went on to be acquired,” states Ashton Rondon. She continues, “I joined Keep Safe Care due in part to what I see as a combination not to only disrupt the in-home care agency franchising model, but more importantly to address the lack of caregiver wages with their 2/3s Rule in caregiver pay. This significant increase in wages without increasing client costs is a calling to me, and I felt that I must be a part of this.”

The 2/3s Rule is Keep Safe Care’s breakthrough ability to pay its caregiver at least two-thirds of whatever the client rate is for any caregiving situation. This has been achieved in large part by how the company has vastly improved the efficiencies of running a private duty, personal care services agency.

Keep Safe Care is planning on initiating the sales of its software licenses for its innovative Private Duty Model in the last quarter of 2023. Mrs. Rondon will help accelerate the roll out of what the Company calls its “Private-Duty-in-a-Box2” concept. These software licenses will be priced at a level that allows Affiliates to open a private duty, in-home personal services caregiving agency for a fraction of the cost of a typical Franchise found in the United States today.

About Keep Safe Care

Keep Safe Care is about revolutionizing the way private duty agencies deliver care and manage caregivers. The company’s innovative approach changes the traditional model of big companies controlling franchisees, while combating the persistent issues of high caregiver truancy and turnover. Keep Safe Care’s goal is to reduce these chronic problems by employing technology to empower caregivers and those who are receiving care. With improved efficiencies, the company’s unique approach holds the promise of increasing a caregiver’s standard wage by 30% to 50%, while at the same time reducing operating costs by 20% to 35% over traditional private duty franchises.
