Twenty Founders Announce OPEN COVID-19 DECLARATION

Leave a comment


News Image

It is expected that the Declaration will contribute to the safety and wellness of us all by enabling a large number of companies, universities and research institutions to conduct COVID-19 related research, development and other activities.


KYOTO, Japan (PRWEB)

Canon Inc. and GenoConcierge Kyoto, Inc. with 18 other founders announced the OPEN COVID-19 DECLARATION, in which the declarers pledge not to enforce their worldwide intellectual property rights against activities aimed at stopping the spread of COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented postwar global crisis. The rapid development, manufacture and provision of therapeutic drugs, vaccines, medical devices, infection control products and the like are central to stopping the spread of COVID-19.

“Accomplishing this as swiftly as possible calls for a new kind of cooperation between industry, government and academia, that breaks the molds of traditional models. We believe that, in the current climate, patent, design, copyright and other intellectual property rights should not interfere with the deployment of these critical items,” said Hideki Sanatake, Executive Officer, Corporate Intellectual Property and Legal Headquarters, Canon Inc., who is a co-originator of the Open COVID-19 Declaration.

Without seeking compensation, the declarers in essence commit not to assert any patents, utility models, designs or copyrights, against any activities whose purpose is stopping the spread of COVID-19, including diagnosis, prevention, containment and treatment, until the World Health Organization (WHO) declares that the COVID-19 outbreak no longer constitutes a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.

Anybody can use the intellectual property rights of the declarers subject to the Open COVID-19 Declaration without investigating whether those rights are infringed and without spending time and money to negotiate for licenses. “It is expected that the Declaration will contribute to the safety and wellness of us all by enabling a large number of companies, universities and research institutions to conduct COVID-19 related research, development and other activities,” said Hisao Yamasaki, Chief Executive Officer, GenoConcierge Kyoto, Inc., who is another co-originator of the Open COVID-19 Declaration

Keidanren, the Japan Association of New Economy, the Computer Software Association of Japan, the WIPO Japan Office and other industry organizations are supporting the Declaration. The founders hope that other IP rights owners will join them in making this important declaration and encourage all to do so.

Executing the Declaration is easy: download the form, execute it and upload the PDF file to the Declaration website. For more details please visit https://www.gckyoto.com/covid-2.

TestDirectly ramps up COVID-19 testing capacity to 35,000 per day and confirms that it can expand to cover up to 25 percent of needed U.S. testing nationwide

Leave a comment


The TestDirectly platform ticks every box. Having a system that is fully integrated with our laboratory information system from patients’ self-registering, scheduling, testing, and reporting, makes the direct-to-consumer market a breeze.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Safe reopening calls for testing enough people to determine which cities and states can safely recommence their activities and stay that way. Performing enough tests is one of the essential steps before a state or a business can reopen. Another requirement is that test results be returned more quickly so that those who test positive for COVID-19 can be isolated and the community spread of the virus can be stopped. According to industry experts, the longer these tests sit without a diagnosis, the less likely they are to be accurate. That could lead to tens of thousands of people believing they’ve tested negative only to be asymptomatic carriers. Analysis by the Rockefeller Foundation concluded that the U.S. should test 3 million people a week, close to the estimate of 3.2 million tests proposed by Harvard researchers and STAT.

“It’s a needle in a haystack problem. You have to do a continuous screening of people — there’s no way around it. This is the new norm,” said LigoLab’s CEO Suren Avunjan, who recently launched the TestDirectly platform, a new direct-to-consumer portal that can help solve the problem of additional testing, safe and easy collection, tracking of specimens, and the quick return of results. The software can integrate with laboratories and distribute workload and capacity based on availability and guarantee quick turnaround times as well as increase the capacity of the network to cover up to 25 percent of the nation’s testing needs.

“As of today, our network of labs has reached daily capacity of 35,000 COVID-19 tests. We are actively increasing the total capacity by introducing new labs to the network, setting up more instruments, and leveraging pooling methodology. We are targeting a daily capacity of 250,000 tests within the next 60 days,” Avunjian added.

TestDirectly facilitates safe and easy sample collecting and processing. The platform covers the entire lifecycle for drive-through processing of COVID-19 testing, increasing accessibility, and it eliminates risks of exposure for patients and healthcare providers.

The TestDirectly platform supports nationwide laboratory coverage creating a network to help load balance and increase testing capacity in an effort to assist the public’s safe return to normal activities. The platform provides full visibility into the network of participating laboratories and distributes specimens to labs based on priority and available capacity for quick turnaround time.

Additionally, TestDirectly eliminates paperwork and manual processes and enables patients to self-register, select a local collection facility, and book an appointment, all from the comfort of their computer or mobile device. Tests can be done in local drive-throughs using a blood test (antibody) or swab test (PCR). The platform ensures safety by producing a QR code that’s used at the time of collection and provides prompt notification of results as soon as the laboratory finalizes the report.

Orders received online are distributed among partner laboratories depending on their current workload. Dozens of labs are already using the software. In one case, Northwest Pathology Group entered into a high-volume partnership with state authorities in Florida and Illinois to deliver the necessary testing the two states require. The daily workload of over 18,0000 specimens from just these two accounts is split amongst the network of laboratories to meet the service-level agreement.

“The TestDirectly platform ticks every box. Having a system that is fully integrated with our laboratory information system from patients’ self-registering, scheduling, testing, and reporting, makes the direct-to-consumer market a breeze. We have been able to scale our capacity to 10,000+ COVID-19 tests per day. Ease of use and safety for both patient and lab makes this system a must-have,” said Jennifer Bull, Northwest Pathology Group’s Director of Operations.

The service is available via referrals from local general practitioners or corporations wanting to test their workforce prior to allowing them back into their office spaces, and the platform allows organizations to select a testing protocol in order to continually maintain a safe working environment.

There are plans for the TestDirectly software to be used for purposes other than COVID-19 and antibody testing in the near future, and development for new testing tracks is already underway. TestDirectly was founded by LigoLab, a Los Angeles-based provider of a laboratory operating platform that works in 100+ facilities nationwide and has to date been interfaced with 453 laboratory analytical instrument types.

LigoLab waived its instrument interface fees for client labs and has decided to waive licensing fees for implementation, hosting, and licensing of its laboratory operating platform for new laboratories that want to partner up with the company to further increase testing capacity for COVID-19. The offer to help is good through the end of June 2020. Software integration with a new lab takes anywhere from a couple of days to a week.

LigoLab Information System is a leading provider of innovative end-to-end healthcare software for laboratories, servicing 100+ facilities nationwide. As a comprehensive enterprise-grade solution, the LigoLab LIS & RCM Laboratory Operating Platform™ goes beyond the core workflow and provides all the supporting modules a laboratory needs to grow with maximum efficiency. LigoLab’s mission is to help laboratories reduce errors, and to scale their operations and revenues.

Leave a comment

“Some of these guys have been on shift, they were supposed to go home, but they stayed for work. So, we want to make sure they are fed and well hydrated.”


FRESNO, Calif. (PRWEB)

Early this month, PrideStaff Gulfport partnered with local businesses to keep firefighters battling the Canal Road fire stay fed and hydrated. PrideStaff, a national, franchised staffing organization, was proud to help these first responders working around the clock to control the fire that continued to spread because of shifting winds.

PrideStaff worked alongside Supporting the Coastal Front Line, delivering water, snacks and more than 70 meals from Waffle House to firefighters in Harrison County. Jourdan Hartshorn with PrideStaff Gulfport, reported from the scene, “Some of these guys have been on shift, they were supposed to go home, but they stayed for work. So, we want to make sure they are fed and well hydrated.”

As part of a leading national staffing and employment agency with more than 80 offices across the United States, PrideStaff Gulfport is stepping up to help put people back to work and keep critical businesses and organizations running smoothly. Backed by best-in-class technology and processes, the staffing franchise quickly pivoted when the pandemic hit to accelerate its transition to remote operations. Their offices are actively using online recruiting, virtual interviews, and proprietary technology to seamlessly support their clients’ staffing and hiring needs during the pandemic.

“We take pride in our place in the community,” said Gary Carmichael, Owner/Strategic Partner of the PrideStaff Gulfport office. “For us, it’s about more than business; it’s about pitching in when we’re needed most, whether that means feeding our first responders, providing community members with work to feed their families or giving businesses the support they need for the local economy to thrive.”

The success of PrideStaff’s approach is evident, as they consistently rank among the highest 1% of staffing firms in the industry. According to ClearlyRated, a business intelligence firm specializing in the staffing industry, PrideStaff earned a client Net Promoter® Score (NPS) as high as or higher than other well-known brands such as Southwest Airlines and Netflix.

BELLA+CANVAS Pivots To Make Face Covers And Becomes Largest Global Manufacturer Of Non-Medical Face Masks

Leave a comment


Mask Production At BELLA+CANVAS Manufacturing Warehouse In Los Angeles

One of the biggest advantages we have is the ability to produce in high volumes in a short amount of time. And in doing so, we have become the largest non-medical face mask manufacturer in the world, helping to support jobs and wages in the United States.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

BELLA+CANVAS, leading manufacturer of premium wholesale apparel today announced that it is making up to 100 million face covers a week, making it the largest global manufacturer of non-medical face masks in the world. The company pivoted in production as a response to COVID-19, converting its cutting manufacturing floors and retooling its machines from making millions of T-shirts, to up to 100 million face covers a week with the most advanced “no-sew” and “human-touch-free” technology available.

Dan Harris and Marco DeGeorge who co-founded BELLA+CANVAS in 1992, growing it to be the largest manufacturer of T-shirts in North America, quickly stepped in to address the shortage of masks, which government agencies have expressed as reaching crisis proportions and to do their part to help flatten the curve with their face covers.

“One of the biggest advantages we have is the ability to produce in high volumes in a short amount of time. And in doing so, we have become the largest non-medical face mask manufacturer in the world, helping to support jobs and wages in the United States,” said Dan Harris, Co-CEO of BELLA+CANVAS. “By choosing to manufacture in Los Angeles we are keeping thousands of people employed when unemployment is at a historical high.”

BELLA+CANVAS is prepared to increase production output to meet the growing need for face covers in the United States, with its facilities that are Gold W.R.A.P. certified. The face covers are made from the highest quality “Airlume” combed and ringspun cotton, eco-dyed using Blue Sign Certified non-toxic chemicals, and 100% of the scraps are recycled.

“We are confident that our face covers are predicated on the CDC’s guidance that simple fabric face coverings are very effective means in helping to flatten the curve,” said Marco DeGeorge, Co-CEO BELLA+CANVAS. “We’ve also invested to ensure we are compliant with the FDA’s evolving guidelines and requirements pertaining to non-medical fabric face masks.”

To assist in meeting new CDC guidelines that everyone should use cloth face coverings, especially in areas of significant community-based transmission, BELLA+CANVAS has committed to donating at least five million of its face covers to organizations directly serving the homeless, healthcare frontliners, first responders and underserved communities. To date, it has already donated to more than 100 organizations. Additionally, through a partnership with the United States Conference of Mayors, BELLA+CANVAS is donating one million face covers, which allows 1,400 U.S. mayors to obtain and distribute to their communities.

Additionally, BELLA+CANVAS has volunteered to join the Textile Coalition, working with the White House Coronavirus Task Force to help produce heavily engineered masks for the general population and is prepared to make 1.5 million masks per week. BELLA+CANVAS is also partnering with the National PPE Coalition that is working to bring crucial partners together to build an efficient and unified supply chain for medical and nonmedical PPE.
