Online Interest and Sales of “Dr. Sebi’s Cell Food” Continue To Spike As Most Popular Products Return

Leave a comment


News Image


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Principals of Dr. Sebi’s Cell Food have revealed that the company experienced noticeable month-over-month traffic growth from February to March (39%) and from March to April (44%). To back this data, search trends show that search volume for “Dr. Sebi” and related keywords have doubled from February to April. Revenue for the company has followed a similar trajectory, experiencing a significant increase in March (62%) and another increase in April (40%). This means from February to April, there was a 125% revenue growth in just 90 days.

Renewed interest in natural products and mindful living seems to have amplified the relevance of the brand’s plant-based lifestyle. The surge in popularity had resulted in shortages of the brand’s most popular products, but, as of this week, they have been fully restocked. These include Dr. Sebi’s Immune Support Herbal Tea, which contains antioxidant-rich elderberry, as well as their Cold & Cough Herbal Tea, which contains gordolobo, used for centuries in Mexico and other Latin American countries as a therapy for respiratory problems.

Dr. Sebi’s Cell Food products are inspired by the 30 years of hands-on experience and accumulated knowledge of Dr. Sebi—a pathologist, herbalist, biochemist, and naturalist whose perspective on holistic wellness is grounded in a distinctly African approach rooted in natural remedies. While making no medical claims, all of their products are natural and safe to use, prepared in an FDA-certified facility.

The brand is regularly releasing guides, recipes, and blogs, and rewarding subscribers with special opportunities and promotions. Interested consumers can subscribe to the Dr. Sebi newsletter at drsebiscellfood.com, or follow them on Instagram at @drsebiscellfood.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Today, West Coast Dental, the leading provider of adult and children’s dentistry in Southern California, unveils their newest safety protocols in order to re-open in accordance with California’s continued efforts to advance and re-open amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a concerted effort to keep staff, medical professionals, and patients safe and virus-free, West Coast Dental has introduced various safety protocols to allow them to operate, helping their patients, while also doing their part to temper the spread of COVID-19. West Coast Dental is working in accordance with CDC guidelines and alongside the California Dental Association to continue to adapt protocols as new information is released relating to the virus.

Currently, West Coast Dental is continuing to follow ADA, CDA, OSHA and CDC guidelines on cleanliness, including nightly professional cleanings and consistent cleaning of all hard surfaces throughout each business day. Furthermore, West Coast Dental has been flexible and reactive since the beginning of the pandemic, introducing a series of procedures, including thorough screening of all patients (to include screening recent travel, taking temperatures before entry), full protective gear for all staff and medical providers, and providing ample hand sanitizer for use by all patients and staff as needed. Additionally, West Coast Dental is also asking anyone who is sick, and/or with flu-like symptoms to stay home, and has asked that all patients rinse with 1% hydrogen peroxide before receiving dental care.

“We care deeply for our staff members, doctors, partners, and our patients,” says West Coast Dental CEO and President Dr Payam Sohrab, “which is why we have elected to keep our doors open so we can assist patients in need of dental care.

GrandPad® introduces connected device capabilities to support telehealth and virtual care for healthcare providers

Leave a comment


News Image

Healthcare companies turned to GrandPad when COVID-19 hit because our built-in 4GLTE and secure video calling allowed them to conduct video visits in nursing homes and in-home care settings without internet or with limited bandwidth.


ORANGE, Calif. (PRWEB)

GrandPad, creator of the first purpose-built tablet for people over 75, announced today the addition of connected device capabilities to its mobile device and telehealth platform to support virtual care and remote monitoring for healthcare providers. The expanded capabilities come at a time when an increasing number of home health agencies and other healthcare companies are turning to GrandPad to facilitate video visits during COVID-19 restrictions that prohibit in-person care.

According to Scott Lien, co-founder and CEO of GrandPad, the company is now offering a variety of Connected Care solutions to commercial customers, including Daily Connect, a remote care solution that integrates with the purpose-built GrandPad tablet to deliver well-being data to remote caregivers. GrandPad Daily Connect is designed to detect abnormalities in the physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being of older adults, and to wirelessly transmit data and insights to caregivers to determine if interventions are needed when values are outside the normal range for the older adult.

“The mental and physical well-being of older adults can indicate whether health status may be improving or deteriorating. For example, seeing a sudden decrease in mobility or sleep can be a sign that an intervention is needed to prevent exacerbation of illness,” said Lien. “By expanding our telehealth platform to include connected devices, we hope to make GrandPad even more accessible and easier for healthcare companies to integrate into their care delivery models.”

GrandPad Daily Connect currently integrates a wearable device designed to track sleep and steps; a body weight scale; and a device that records blood pressure, pulse ox, body temperature, heart rate, and respiration in a simple, safe, and reliable way. All devices connect via Bluetooth or Direct Cloud Connect and can be integrated separately into the GrandPad tablet or bundled as part of GrandPad Daily Connect for caregivers. GrandPad comes with a proprietary, secure, telehealth platform with video capabilities for virtual care. It is HIPAA compliant and easily integrates with other telehealth platforms.

Lien added that GrandPad, which was introduced as a consumer product in 2013, has experienced a significant spike in commercial sales in 2020 as a result of changing reimbursement regulations for remote care and telemedicine, as well as the intense demand for video capabilities that the COVID-19 pandemic has produced. One such commercial partner is Prospero Health, a team-based home health care company headquartered in Boston that began using GrandPad to improve access to care for vulnerable seniors during the COVID-19 crisis. Prospero is utilizing GrandPads with clinicians and patients to deliver live video interactions with care teams while adhering to strict social distancing guidelines. According to Lien, demand for GrandPad is continuing to grow as the company expands its connected capabilities.

“Healthcare companies turned to GrandPad when COVID-19 hit because our built-in 4GLTE and secure video calling made it easy to conduct video visits in nursing homes and in-home care settings that often have no internet or limited bandwidth for connecting via traditional mobile devices or telemedicine platforms,” said Lien. “Our healthcare provider partners are telling us that our easy-to-use patient and provider interface, the positive response they’re seeing from users, and our new connected capabilities, will make GrandPad an essential element in telehealth strategies in the future.”

RevSpring Adds Assisted Payments Feature to PersonaPayTM CSR Portal

Leave a comment


“Not only does Assisted Payments mitigate PCI compliance risk in remote and office settings, it promotes first call resolution in the call center and increases convenience for patients with multiple payment options. All of this adds up to reduced costs for providers and improved payment rates.”


LIVONIA, Mich. (PRWEB)

RevSpring, the leading provider of healthcare financial engagement and payment solutions, today announced the availability of an innovative new feature to enhance its recently introduced PersonaPay™ Customer Service Representative (CSR) portal. Assisted Payments provides a safe and secure mechanism for CSRs to take patient credit/debit card and ACH payments. RevSpring has integrated the capability to initiate payment capture via IVR, text or email within the PersonaPay CSR portal workflow to deliver a seamless patient experience.

“We’re tremendously excited about our new Assisted Payment integration because it greatly enhances payment efficiency and security for both patients and providers,” said Steve Callis, president of payments at RevSpring. “Not only does Assisted Payments mitigate PCI compliance risk in remote and office settings, it promotes first call resolution in the call center and increases convenience for patients with multiple payment options. All of this adds up to reduced costs for providers and improved payment rates.”

Assisted Payments eliminates PCI compliance risk because it bypasses the CSRs’ direct interaction with patients when processing card information, protecting patients’ privacy while conveniently and expeditiously fulfilling payment obligations.

The feature securely enables payment in one of three options based on the preference of the patient. For example, a CSR can send a patient an encrypted link via email or text to access the PersonaPay patient portal for a secure self-service payment. Or the CSR can connect a patient to the RevSpring IVR system where a patient can securely enter their card or ACH information. After completing the information entry, patients can be brought back to the CSR if there are any remaining questions or simply hang up.

Providing additional secure payment options increases payments and agent productivity. It also preserves a consistent experience for the patient by allowing secure payment options through automation on a single call.

RevSpring announced PersonaPayTM in March 2020. PersonaPay is designed to help healthcare providers precisely tailor the payment experience for every patient, ensuring consistency at every touchpoint, through every communication channel, to improve patient and provider outcomes. This, coupled with RevSpring’s full suite of digital patient engagement analytics, communications, and payments platforms, including merchant services with full settlement reconciliation, offers healthcare providers with a comprehensive patient communications and payments experience.

IVR Assisted Payments on a stand-alone basis is also available on any portal.

About RevSpring

RevSpring leads the market in financial communications and payment solutions that inspire patients to pay. The company has built the industry’s most comprehensive and impactful suite of patient engagement, OmniChannel communications and payment solutions backed by behavior analysis, propensity-to-pay scoring, contextual messaging, and user experience best practices. Using proprietary data analytics to tailor the engagement from pre-service to post-service, we improve the financial experience and outcomes for providers and their patients.

The North American Passive House Network Announces COVID-19 Pandemic to be a Focus at Annual Conference

Leave a comment



NEW YORK (PRWEB)

The North American Passive House Network (NAPHN) conference, #PH2020, (http://www.naphnconference.com) running every Wednesday, 1 – 4 PM EST, June 24 – July 29, will feature specific efforts at examining the relationship between Passive House design, indoor air-quality and specifically the transmission of viruses like COVID-19.

This focus marks a return to the roots of Passive House. While dramatic energy reductions were the climate imperative and headline, less appreciated has been that better indoor hygiene was also a key founding goal of the Passive House standard and that the criteria for ventilation and airtightness were concerned about improved health outcomes as well as energy efficiency. Today’s wake-up call, driven by our global pandemic, is an important notice to building owners, developers, and professionals of the inherent tools Passive House provides to support healthy outcomes.

In a session titled “It’s About the Outside Air: Why Passive House Ventilation is the Invisible Hand of High Performance”, scheduled for Wednesday, June 24 at 3 PM EST, in a general presentation on the scientific criteria, equipment certification and systems design – the presenters will review critical issues like ventilation recirculation and cross-contamination, that if not addressed properly, as is the case in typical construction, can be contributors to virus transmission, and how Passive House specifications deliver lower-risk solutions.

Then on Wednesday, July 15 at 3 PM EST, a session titled “Why does Covid-19 Hate Passive House? Strategies to Mitigate the Spread of Viruses”, will take a serious look, in a panel discussion, at virus transmission, Covid-19 specifically, the science, the mechanics, and the implementation of controlling the built environment to minimize the risks to our health. It will debunk the myths and give attendees actionable information to help make buildings a true pandemic refuge.

“Building design cannot outperform fundamental preventative measures like social distancing to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus”, said NAPHN President, and session panelist, Bronwyn Barry. “But founding Passive House principles and strategies do contribute to healthy outcomes. And we look forward to a lively discussion among panelists and attendees digging into the subject.”

About NAPHN:

The North American Passive House Network (NAPHN) is an independent national non-profit educational organization, based in New York, and affiliated with the International Passive House Association (iPHA) and the Passive House Institute (PHI), located in Darmstadt, Germany.

NAPHN has chapters based in New Jersey (http://www.njpassivehouse.com), Washington DC (http://www.naphnetwork.org), the Rocky Mountain Region (http://www.phrockymountains.com), Minnesota (http://www.passivehouseminnesota.org) and Western Pennsylvania (http://www.passivehousewpa.com).

NAPHN supports the widespread adoption of the international Passive House design and construction standards, building science principles and protocols, as a critical response to our climate crisis – providing unparalleled effectiveness in mitigating climate disruptions and adapting to rapidly changing environmental conditions.

NAPHN is focused on the inflection point between policy and implementation. We partner with leading stakeholders across all building sectors, including governments, professional associations, manufacturers, owners, builders, labor organizations, and educational institutions – to make the transformation complete. http://www.naphnetwork.org

About Passive House:

Passive House is an international building standard and methodology, applicable to buildings of all kinds from office buildings to hospitals, new-build and renovations, that results in a dramatic

drop in operational energy use, and more comfortable and healthy occupants – meant to aggressively mitigate our climate crisis while providing resilient adaptation.

The Passive House Standard was developed by the Passive House Institute (PHI), an independent scientific research organization, located in Darmstadt, Germany, and includes specific requirements for energy use and comfort of occupants. The Passive House Standard is being successfully applied to thousands of buildings and millions of square feet around the world, from Boston to Beijing.

The Passive House methodology starts with reducing cooling, dehumidification and heating loads by focusing, not on gadgets and active technology, but instead on fully integrated durable passive building components, such as proper continuous thermal-bridge-free insulation, continuous airtightness, high-performance windows and doors, and ventilation that includes a high-efficiency heat/energy recovery core, carefully calculated, and all integrated with the entire architectural process of design and construction. http://www.passivehouse.com, http://www.passipedia.org
