PALO ALTO, Calif. (PRWEB)

HashCash Consultants is working with healthcare establishments, helping them with advanced technology and virtual solutions that can meet the needs of a COVID-riddled world, while shaping a robust healthcare infrastructure fit for the post-pandemic world.

HashCash’s healthcare solutions abide by the necessary compliances and augment the caregiving standards through the establishment of an agile, collaborative, and automated digital infrastructure, that can scale-up to meet futuristic needs as well.

“Although the healthcare industry has been at the frontline in the global battle against COVID-19, the pandemic has exposed some of the fundamental flaws within the system that needs immediate fixing to mitigate any crisis of the pandemic variety in the future. With social distancing becoming the new normal, new strategies and innovative solutions directed towards the digital transformation of the legacy healthcare is the need of the hour”, commented Raj Chowdhury, CEO, HashCash Consultants.

HashCash has risen to the occasion offering comprehensive and customized solutions powered by advanced automation and integration modules that help in bringing significant reformation into the traditional architecture and streamline various processes.

HashCash Consultants’ Solutions for the Healthcare Industry:

All healthcare establishments like hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, pharmacies, clinics, etc. have been working round the clock, to mitigate the pandemic induced crisis. Being open 24×7 to provide medical support to the people, maintaining social distancing becomes a challenge. However, physical interaction can be minimized by digitally transforming existing healthcare systems.

HashCash helps hospitals to optimize their operations by integrating the legacy system with virtual communication and collaboration tools, to keep human physical interactions to the minimum. Digitized healthcare system by HashCash for hospitals enables:

1. Virtual appointment through intuitive and user-friendly applications

2. Virtual consultation via customized video conferencing platforms so that the doctor can diagnose the patient without the need for the later to visit the hospital physically. 3. All interactions between the doctor and patient, including the exchange of medical reports and prescriptions, takes place over a highly secured platform.

4. AI-powered applications that help in risk assessment by analyzing the symptoms and alerts the patient and the hospital if it is an admission emergency

HashCash helps hospitals to create a bond of trust with the patients by upholding the highest privacy standards with advanced security protocols integrated into the overall system so that the patients feel safe both physically and virtually.

  • Clinics and Diagnostic Laboratories:

The pandemic has changed the system of general medical practice and the way a clinic or diagnostic lab used to operate before COVID-19. HashCash’s specialized healthcare solutions and services allow physicians to run virtual clinics, where a system integrated application with agile communication tools takes care of everything from getting appointment and payment to virtual consultation. The use of advanced security protocols fortifies the system maintaining absolute privacy of all patient data.

For diagnostic labs, HashCash created applications that allow the patient to register all the tests that need to be done, along with online payment and confirmation. Patients get time slots for tests through the app to avoid crowding. Although the tests need expert supervision, the dispersal of results happens through the virtual platform as well.

HashCash helps pharmacies to create its eCommerce platform that enables online ordering and delivery through digitized and automated solutions. Powered by advanced digital technology, the pharma app enables patients to register their prescriptions and place an order for medicines. The integration of a payment processor makes for seamless payment in a few simple steps, while the customer gets notified in every step from placing the order till delivery.

All the mentioned digital healthcare solutions are designed keeping both the present scenario and future context in mind, enabling rapid crisis management and seamless collaboration between people and the organizations.

New study sheds light on the characteristics of resilient people

Leave a comment


Resilience is an active process. Mentally tough people adapt their mind and their life to their circumstances.

The ability to stay strong is about learning how to keep hardship in perspective, and taking active steps to adjust to the circumstances.

Tough cookies don’t sit back and let adversity wash over them like a tidal wave; they take action.


MONTREAL, Quebec (PRWEB)

During a crisis, the platitude “stay strong” is well-intended, but difficult to put into practice. Resilience is not an inherent trait – it is developed and strengthened through hardship. Recent research conducted by PsychTests.com reveals that mentally tough people nurture a specific type of mindset, and engage in certain practices in order to stay strong in the face of adversity. It seems that resilience isn’t just a state of mind; it’s also a state of action.

Analyzing data from 12,259 people who took the Emotional Intelligence Test, PsychTests’ researchers focused their analysis on two distinct groups: Those who are highly resilient (in the 90th percentile and higher), and those who are not. Here’s where the two groups differed:

RESILIENT PEOPLE BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES, AND HAVE A STRONG SENSE OF SELF-WORTH

  • 99% of the resilient group trust their ability to handle life’s challenges (compared to 33% of the un-resilient group).

  • 71% don’t let people’s opinion of them dictate how they feel about themselves (compared to 14% of the un-resilient group).

  • 93% recognize what makes them special, and what they have to offer to others, and to the world (compared to 28% of the un-resilient group).

  • 95% take pride in their accomplishments, including small achievements, and don’t care about whether they receive recognition from others (compared to 57% of the un-resilient group).

  • 80% show their true self to others, even if they risk rejection (compared to 24% of the un-resilient group).

RESILIENT PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS WORKING ON THEMSELVES

  • The entire resilient group (100%) said that one of their biggest aspirations is to become a better person (compared to 0% of the un-resilient group).

  • 96% consciously learn from their mistakes and failures (compared to 65% of the un-resilient group).

  • 86% take concrete steps to achieve their goals. They don’t just dream or hope of accomplishing a goal, they turn their aspirations into action (compared to 32% of the un-resilient group).

  • 93% said that they are gentle with themselves when the make a mistake or fail, rather than engaging in harsh self-criticism (compared to 17% of the un-resilient group).

RESILIENT PEOPLE ACTIVELY PRACTICE SPECIFIC COPING METHODS TO DEAL WITH STRESS

  • 72% practice mindfulness. They try not to stress out too much about the future, and strive to live in the moment (compared to 13% of the un-resilient group).

  • 86% make sure to give a problem its due consideration, but consciously stop themselves from ruminating (compared to 17% of the un-resilient group).

  • 96% keep negative circumstances in perspective (compared to 48% of the un-resilient group).

  • 83% have an outlet to relieve stress, like exercising, journaling, or meditating (compared to 40% of the un-resilient group).

  • 70% talk things out with someone they trust (compared to 18% of the un-resilient group).

RESILIENT PEOPLE STRIVE TO MAINTAIN A POSITIVE OUTLOOK

  • 95% engage in fun or humorous activities during difficult times (compared to 66% of the un-resilient group).

  • 92% practice gratitude, and focus on the blessings in their life (compared to 34% of the un-resilient group).

  • 83% accept, if not embrace, change (compared to 15% of the un-resilient group).

  • 84% look for the silver lining in hardship (compared to 20% of the un-resilient group).

  • 92% said that they just keep trying, and refuse to give up (compared to 14% of the un-resilient group).

RESILIENT PEOPLE DEVELOP THEIR SELF-AWARENESS, AND STAY IN TOUCH WITH THEIR INNER WORLD

  • 78% reflect on the motives behind their actions (compared to 53% of the un-resilient group).

  • When negative emotions arise, 74% of resilient people take the time to stop and analyze the emotions in order to understand what their feelings are trying to tell them (compared to 35% of the un-resilient group).

“Resilience is an elusive trait, because we’re never really taught how to be strong, either by our parents or in school,” explains Dr. Jerabek, president of PsychTests. “We’re told to ‘toughen up,’ ‘man up,’ ‘stay positive,’ or that things will get better eventually, but are not told how to do that. And so we learn to simply ride out storms in our life by hanging on for dear life, or drowning out the pain, neither of which develops our resilience very much. This is because resilience is an active process. Tough people don’t sit back and let adversity wash over them like a tidal wave; they take action. They consciously monitor their thoughts and feelings, summon up various coping techniques, stay in the moment rather than ruminating about the future or the what-ifs, and they face their problems head-on. So when a proverbial storm comes, resilient people become the captains of their ship. They take charge, and take steps to improve their situation, or their attitude.”

“This is what we need to be doing during the pandemic,” suggests Dr. Jerabek. “Don’t just sit at home obsessively watching the news and worrying about what is to come. Accept what is going on, and then take steps to adapt. Ask yourself what you can do right now to make things better, even just a little. Find soothing activities, learning new coping techniques, practice mindfulness and meditation, keep yourself busy, and then at the end of the day, count every single one of your blessings. This is what it means to be resilient.”

Gateway for Cancer Research Announces New Grant Program for Clinical Trials Informed by Mobile Technology and Telemedicine

Leave a comment



CHICAGO (PRWEB)

Gateway for Cancer Research (Gateway), a nonprofit organization dedicated to funding transformational early-phase cancer research, is excited to announce the launch of a new grant program to fund clinical trials leveraging mobile technology and telemedicine to advance cancer science and care.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant disruption to clinical trial access for patients on or seeking investigational cancer treatment. Social distancing policies, patient concerns regarding travel to clinical settings for treatment and tactics to mitigate COVID-19 transmission at provider institutions have led to delays and the suspension of clinical studies at cancer centers in the U.S. and abroad.

The pandemic has underscored significant vulnerabilities to the centralized model of clinical studies in which the patient must “go to the trial.” Gateway is providing grants in the range of $400,000 to $600,000 for early-phase clinical studies that advance technology-informed decentralized trial strategies. These may include telemedicine, wearables, remote monitoring, mobile nursing, or other strategies that bring the trial directly to the patient. Applications are being accepted now through June 22, 2020 and the recipients will be notified on July 30, 2020.

“At Gateway, patients are at the center of everything we do and the impact of the pandemic on their access to clinical trials has been deeply troubling,” said Michael Burton, President and CEO of Gateway for Cancer Research. “The field clearly needs more robust methods and tools to ensure continuity of access to investigational therapies during this pandemic and beyond. To that end, we are pleased to announce this funding opportunity to accelerate decentralized clinical studies that put the patient at the center of trial design.”    

To learn more or apply for a grant, please visit GatewayCR.org/Research or email Research@GatewayCR.org.

About Gateway for Cancer Research

Gateway for Cancer Research is a nonprofit 501c(3) organization committed to funding innovative cancer research that helps people living with cancer to feel better and live longer as we work to end cancer as we know it. Thanks to generous underwriting, 99 cents of every dollar Gateway receives directly funds Phase I and Phase II cancer clinical trials at leading research institutions across the country and abroad. Since 1991, Gateway has supported more than 180 clinical trials and funded over $90 million in breakthrough cancer research.

Announced termination of the U.S. relationship with WHO is damaging and dangerous amid global COVID-19 outbreak

Leave a comment


“Any move of this kind will severely impede the world’s ability to tackle COVID-19, compromise other critical health needs, and undermine the safety of Americans.”


WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

United Nations Foundation President and CEO Elizabeth Cousens released the following statement in response to the U.S. announcement that it will terminate its relationship with the World Health Organization (WHO):

“We are deeply disappointed with the Administration’s announcement that it plans to terminate its relationship with the World Health Organization. Any move of this kind will severely impede the world’s ability to tackle COVID-19, compromise other critical health needs, and undermine the safety of Americans.

“Members of Congress, on both sides of the aisle, have consistently worked to fully fund the World Health Organization, in keeping with a long, proud, bipartisan tradition of U.S. leadership in global public health. Congressional leaders have also spoken out in favor of U.S. cooperation with WHO to help respond to the unprecedented crisis we face with COVID-19. They understand that without combatting the disease everywhere, all Americans are at risk. Withdrawing support for the World Health Organization in the midst of the greatest pandemic the world has faced in over 100 years is dangerous and short-sighted.

“WHO is the primary institution with the technical capacity and mandate to support all countries at this critical time, and it must have the resources it needs for urgent, frontline response, in addition to maintaining the critical essential health services on which billions around the world rely.

“Bilateral U.S. government funding for COVID-19 and new initiatives cannot match the work of WHO in this pandemic. The U.S. makes WHO stronger, from its historic partnership in eradicating smallpox and recent efforts to eliminate polio, to U.S. scientists from the CDC and NIH working at WHO to keep people around the world safe. This move diminishes U.S. standing globally and weakens our hand in responding to this crisis.

“WHO has a presence in more than 150 countries, a membership of 194 member states and the trust of governments around the world. Governments rely on WHO’s guidance on how to battle COVID-19 and many other illnesses, and billions of people have access to WHO’s evidence-based information in dozens of languages.

“WHO is the only agency in the world capable of coordinating unprecedented global trials on therapeutics and vaccines, including the groundbreaking scope of the “Solidarity Trial” with more than 100 countries participating.

“From the outset of this crisis, WHO recognized that testing needed to form the backbone of the global response, and they have procured and distributed millions of pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) and other vital health commodities like tests and testing supplies for at least 133 countries.

“Terminating the U.S. relationship with WHO will harm the global response to COVID-19 and other essential health services, especially in developing countries whose people are more vulnerable because health systems have fewer resources.

“Beyond its urgent work on COVID-19, WHO is also central to the fight against other major health threats that matter to Americans. The bulk of U.S. funds to WHO help save lives and give hope to populations around the world facing diseases like polio, measles, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, including in humanitarian hotspots like Yemen and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Globally, people already facing severe health challenges will be dealt a cruel double blow if WHO is unable to carry out its work.

“By terminating its relationship with the world’s premiere global health organization, the U.S. will be abdicating its long-held leadership role on the world stage, a role other nations are all too eager to fill.”

MIAMI (PRWEB)

Segal Trials, a privately held network of research sites throughout South Florida and South Carolina conducting Phase I-IV trials, commemorated May, Mental Health Awareness Month, and May 20th, Clinical Trial Awareness Day, with key initiatives celebrating volunteers that make medical advances possible.

Efforts include their #StayConnected video series raising awareness of clinical trials and offering mental health support during the pandemic; participation in CISCRP’s (Center for Information and Study) Med Hero Appreci-a-thon Virtual Fitness Challenge honoring study volunteers; partnering with STARR Coalition’s #ResearchResponds highlighting supportive initiatives taken by key stakeholders in the life science industry during COVID-19; and sharing study participant testimonials in association with Greater Gift, a non-profit organization expressing gratitude to clinical trial contributors through a donation of a life-enhancing gift to a child.

Inspired by the volunteers and health care professionals who make this essential work possible, Segal Trials is committed to persevering in the face of the challenges of COVID-19.

Justine Holleran, Events Coordinator at CISCRP, said, “We are grateful to companies like Segal Trials, who are participating in our educational, outreach programs that debunk myths about the clinical research development process and recognize all the individuals who take part in advancing public health.”

Bonnie Segal, President of Segal Trials, adds, “Now, more than ever, we must join forces to innovate and enable continued progress in clinical research, and show appreciation to the study volunteers a help us bring life-changing new drugs to market.”

Leave a comment


“We understand that many people in our region are experiencing significant mental, physical, spiritual, and financial difficulties due to COVID-19,” said Dr. Monteic A. Sizer. “Knowing the full extent and nuisances of the problems people are facing will help us better meet their needs.”


MONROE, La. (PRWEB)

Northeast Delta Human Services Authority is announcing a brief online survey to assess the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic upon the behavioral, physical, and social health of the citizens in our service region and beyond. The resulting information collected will better inform our programs and services, benefiting the citizens we serve.

“COVID-19 is having a profound effect on all of us,” said Dr. Monteic A. Sizer, Executive Director of Northeast Delta Human Services Authority. “We understand that many people in our region are experiencing significant mental, physical, spiritual, and financial difficulties due to COVID-19. Knowing the full extent and nuisances of the problems people are facing will help us better meet their needs.”

The survey, available on Northeast Delta HSA’s COVID-19 page (http://www.nedeltahsa.org/COVID-19), is voluntary, anonymous, accessible via an online Google Form, and requires an estimated 10 minutes for completion. It will gather data on how COVID-19 has impacted personal well-being and physical health, including mental and behavioral health status and general information access and practices. It will not ask for any protected or private health information, and participants cannot be identified by the data collected.

Additional information will be collected on demographics, relationship status, current living situation, household composition, employment status, and how COVID-19 impacted any or all of these areas. It will also gather information on COVID-19 related resource concerns like household maintenance, food security, health and healthcare, and social relationships.

“Along with our integrated behavioral and primary healthcare model, we have implemented a number of prevention, wellness, housing, and workforce programs to help citizens begin to establish a new normal,” said Sizer. “We must continue examining and understanding the interplay between individual and community factors so that we can keep innovating and helping our region’s people reach their full potential.”
