Innovative Health Partners with NotiSphere to Reduce Impact of Device Recalls and Supply Disruptions

Leave a comment


The NotiSphere platform allows the company to quickly and efficiently disseminate important information about device recalls or design changes that impact the supply of reprocessed devices

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Innovative Health, Inc. today announced that the company has entered into an agreement with NotiSphere to provide its hospital customers with effective communication about backorders, product recalls, original manufacturer design changes, and other market events with the potential to impact the hospital’s supply of reprocessed devices. In doing so, the company is helping to reduce the impact of disruptions in device supply, ensuring continued and reliable patient access to life-saving cardiology procedures.

Innovative Health’s cardiology-focused single-use device reprocessing program has revolutionized the practice of reprocessing with a barrier-breaking reprocessing technology development program that has resulted in FDA clearances for cardiology devices that were previously thought of as non-reprocessable. This has created a service offering unmatched in the industry in terms of device cost reductions and reductions in CO2 emissions.

A constant, predictable supply of reprocessed devices can be impacted by original manufacturer design changes and recalls that limit the supply of reprocessed devices or delays the reprocessing process. NotiSphere offers an innovative digital platform that directly connects medical device suppliers, such as Innovative Health, and healthcare organizations, enabling direct communication and management of medical device recalls and market events in real-time.

“NotiSphere’s platform solves an important problem for us,” said Rick Ferreira, CEO at Innovative Health. “Our customers don’t want to log into hundreds of platforms to see their supply situation. The NotiSphere platform enables efficient dissemination of critical supply information from all their suppliers. At the same time, our hospital customers need to know market events that impact reprocessed product supplies, as they depend on the savings they provide.”

NotiSphere enables focused communication, directly to those who need to know. Efficient communication through the platform shortens the time it takes to execute recalls, reduces the number of alerts received by an organization, and improves efficiency in managing the market disruption event, allowing providers to focus on patient safety rather than administrative processes.

“Innovative Health and other circular suppliers in healthcare are uniquely vulnerable to recalls and other external events that restrict the company’s ability to collect and return reprocessed products to their partner hospitals,” said Guillermo Ramas, CEO at NotiSphere. “Innovative Health again shows its industry leadership in prioritizing implementation of an efficient solution to this process, and we are thrilled to partner with Innovative Health to address their unique supply disruption situation through efficient communication.”

About NotiSphere
NotiSphere establishes direct connections between medical device suppliers and healthcare organizations, facilitating seamless communication and real-time management of a wide spectrum of medical device supply disruptions. Our vision is to transform how the healthcare industry manages supply chain challenges, significantly reducing processing times, cutting costs for medical device suppliers, and ushering in a new era of sustainability by minimizing the environmental impact of traditional industry processes.

Innovative Health is an advanced medical device reprocessing company that offers smarter utilization of medical devices in hospitals’ cardiology and electrophysiology programs.

Agri-Neo and Henan Sunny Foodstuff announce partnership to strengthen food safety and improve food quality

Leave a comment


The Neo-Pure Organic Pasteurization process enables Henan Sunny to achieve a 99.999% (5-log) reduction of pathogens such as Salmonella and E. coli without compromising food quality. It works by misting a patented blend of organic actives onto food in a continuous flow to inactivate pathogens and reduce total plate count. Since Neo-Pure does not rely on heat, steam, chemical fumigation, or irradiation, Neo-Pure Pasteurized (NPP) foods maintain food integrity, meaning the natural sensory quality, nutrition, and shelf life remain unchanged, just as nature intended.

“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Henan Sunny,” said Robert Wong, President of Agri-Neo. “Just like dehydrated onions, dehydrated garlic is a sensitive ingredient that does not work well with heat-based methods such as steam and infrared. The Neo-Pure Organic Pasteurization process maintains the vital organoleptic properties of garlic such as color and flavor, while delivering a validated kill step to meet industry requirements. Furthermore, products that go through the Neo-Pure process can be sold anywhere in the world, unlike methods like irradiation that are commercially restricted for sale in many countries. We believe this collaboration with Henan Sunny will provide them with a significant advantage in the market by strengthening the food safety and quality of their product portfolio.”

Henan Sunny will exhibit at the Anuga Trade Fair in Germany in October (Hall 1.2, Stand K030).

About Agri-Neo

The Agri-Neo mission is to help safely feed the world by creating technology that sets new food safety standards. Neo-Pure™, developed by Agri-Neo, eliminates harmful pathogens such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria while maintaining the nutrition and quality that flourishes naturally in food. Agri-Neo has a dedicated team of food scientists, researchers, and engineers to launch more food safety solutions for many high-risk food groups in the future. For more information, visit www.agri-neo.com.

About Henan Sunny Foodstuff

Henan Sunny Foodstuff Co., Ltd. was founded in 1992. It is located in Xiangcheng City of Henan province in China, one of the largest origins of fresh garlic in China. It is a market leader in dehydrated garlic flakes, granules, and powder products. It also processes spices and dehydrated vegetables such as chili, carrot, ginger, onion, star aniseeds, and more. Henan Sunny serves over 300 customers from more than 70 countries. For more information, visit www.hnsunnyfood.com.

Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation Funding Registry Study for Arabic-Speaking Countries

Leave a comment


As partners, CPARF and the Cerebral Palsy Research Network already operate robust registries in the US, and funding this study is a global extension of that work.

Driven by Dr. Sahar M. A. Hassanein from Shams University in Cairo, Egypt, an eight-person team with investigators throughout Egypt, Tunisia, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia will evaluate the practicality and affordability of a multicentric cerebral palsy registry in different settings and develop nationally driven evidence-based guidelines to follow children with cerebral palsy in Arabic-speaking countries.

Through statistical analysis estimating cerebral palsy’s prevalence, delineating its clinical spectrum, and describing perinatal risk factors of registered children and adolescents, this study will help develop a multicenter registry in Arabic-speaking countries. Featuring four major academic institutions in Egypt and Tunisia collectively, this study has the potential to revolutionize public health policies and clinical practice by narrowing the knowledge gap around cerebral palsy characteristics.

A registry of this caliber will serve as a foundation for ethically entering, storing, and sharing information reliably among participating institutions and Arabic-speaking countries. “This registry is a critical tool to reach such an underserved population,” Mr. Pearlmutter shared, “so that clinicians can gain awareness and patients can receive the best available treatments, no matter where they are.”

CPARF’S MISSION
Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation is a nonprofit organization that funds US-based research to change what’s possible for people with cerebral palsy, implements proven science, empowers people through education, and advances technology benefiting all disabled people worldwide.

NeuroBehavioral Hospitals Selects Proem Behavioral Health to Support Patient Care and Engagement

Leave a comment


NeuroBehavioral Hospitals will use the Proem platform, which includes the world’s most clinically validated set of licensed digital assessments, to help improve patient engagement, measurement-based care, consistency of care, accuracy and efficiency — all to help produce better outcomes for patients.

“Proem delivers exactly what we want in a platform,” says Paul Rashid, MD, chief medical officer of NeuroBehavioral Hospitals. “We wanted a solution that could proactively identify the majority of diagnosed DSM-5 conditions within minutes, in one quick comprehensive assessment. We wanted a solution that would help expand our use of measurement-based care so we can better ensure accuracy and consistency of care. We wanted a solution that would enhance our ability to engage with patients prior to, during, and after their time with us, and we wanted a solution with data and reporting that would empower us to strengthen our evidence-based care pathways. Proem checked all those boxes and more.”

NeuroBehavioral Hospitals also will use Proem to help reduce readmissions. The organization will send ongoing assessments through Proem to patients who have been discharged and those receiving outpatient services to keep them engaged in their ongoing recovery.

“Our hope is that these outreach efforts enable us to further support our patients and identify when they may require additional assistance,” says Beau Lynch, chief executive officer of NeuroBehavioral Hospitals. “When an assessment flags a patient at elevated risk, we can contact this individual and work to get them the services they need to get them back on a path to full recovery.”

Proem’s exclusively licensed digital structured interview has been validated to show psychiatrist agreement in 89% of diagnoses and used in clinical settings, research studies and clinical trials for many years worldwide. The intelligent workflow engine from Proem captures data at every step of the behavioral health care process, providing insight to help providers assess and diagnose mental illness and determine the appropriate next right steps to take in a patient’s care.

“NeuroBehavioral Hospitals is an impressive organization with admirable goals of making mental health treatment services more patient-centered, empathetic and accessible,” says John Letter, chief executive officer of Proem. “They recognize the importance of relying upon measurement- and evidence-based care to better ensure patients receive the right services at the right time. We are pleased that NeuroBehavioral Hospitals chose Proem to support their mantra of ‘always do the right thing’ and further exemplify our belief that ‘healthier minds start with Proem.'”
