Brian Grant Foundation Launches Grant’s Army Online Education Program for Parkinson’s Exercise Professionals

Leave a comment



PORTLAND, Ore. (PRWEB)

To help exercise professionals provide safe and effective classes for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), the Brian Grant Foundation (BGF) has launched a new online education program called Grant’s Army.

Grant’s Army includes a roundup of the latest Parkinson’s exercise research, case studies of exercise programs around the U.S. and profiles of people living with the disease who are engaged in fitness classes to help them manage their symptoms. The program also includes video tutorials demonstrating activities that have been shown to help the common symptoms of Parkinson’s.

“Research has found that exercising on a consistent basis is one of the best tools that people with Parkinson’s can use to manage symptoms of their disease,” said Katrina Kahl, executive director of the Brian Grant Foundation. “Our goal with Grant’s Army is to ensure that exercise professionals are equipped with knowledge of evidence-based activities that are safe for people with Parkinson’s and have been shown to effectively manage the symptoms.”

To view the Grant’s Army educational resources visit briangrant.org/category/grantsarmy.

Since 2016, BGF has been training exercise professionals on safe and effective activities for people with Parkinson’s. BGF’s Exercise for Parkinson’s Training for professionals is available in-person as well as online at training.briangrant.org. Grant’s Army will continue to support these professionals through online educational resources.

National Basketball Association player Brian Grant retired in 2006 and was diagnosed with young onset Parkinson’s in 2008 at the age of 36. He started the Brian Grant Foundation in 2010 to support Parkinson’s research and has since redirected the organization’s efforts to provide tools to improve the well-being of people with the disease.

Parkinson’s is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects cells in the brain that produce dopamine, a chemical messenger that helps to control movement. The outward signs of Parkinson’s may include tremors, slowness of movement, balance problems and rigidity. Though there is no cure for Parkinson’s, research has shown that physical activity, healthy eating and social connections are important aspects for managing the condition and improving quality of life with the disease.

About Brian Grant Foundation

Founded in 2010, the Brian Grant Foundation (BGF) provides proven tools to improve the well-being of people with Parkinson’s. BGF’s efforts focus on wellness, specifically exercise, nutrition, and emotional health programs. Visit http://www.briangrant.org to learn more.

VPG Medical, Inc. Creates Free Wellness Tracker to Help Community During COVID-19 Crisis

Leave a comment



ROCHESTER, N.Y. (PRWEB)

VPG Medical, Inc., a Rochester-based developer of advanced solutions for the home-based health monitoring and personalized wellness markets, announced today that it has launched a free wellness tracker for Monroe County residents to use during the unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak. The tracker leverages the company’s HealthKam™ technology, which is an APP utilizing the embedded camera in smartphones and tablets to effortlessly track the heart rate of a person over time.

Peer-reviewed scientific studies have found that the resting heart rate of a person typically rises by 7 to 10 beats per minute for every one degree (Celsius) of a fever. As has been widely reported, the most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, tiredness and a dry cough. While the HealthKam tracker should not be used as a substitute for taking body temperature with a thermometer, it is uniquely suited for helping to prompt and remind an individual – based on an elevated heart rate – to take his or her temperature.

HealthKam technology quietly monitors the heart rate while people are using their smart devices at home for doing ordinary tasks (e.g., reading through emails or watching a video). It does this by detecting the very slight changes in color that occur in the facial skin when a person’s heart beats. The application then sends daily reports to the user and to that user’s authorized loved one that shows the heart rate and its trend over time. In addition to serving as an early indicator of a fever, tracking heart rate is also valuable as a sign of dangerously high-stress levels and other potential health conditions.    

“Like so many others, our company wanted to do whatever we could to help our local community in its time of need,” said Dr. Jean-Philippe Couderc, chief executive officer of VPG Medical. “The COVID-19 pandemic is a health emergency and many of our older and immunocompromised neighbors will largely be staying home in the upcoming months. So we wanted to provide an advanced and simple technology for helping them and the ones close to their heart to have insight into their health status, and particularly signs of possible fevers.”

Due to the speed with which VPG Medical wanted to release this free tool in response to the crisis, this release only works on specific Samsung smart devices and is available to a limited number of users at this time. The company plans to expand availability more broadly in Monroe County and potentially beyond as quickly as possible.

VPG Medical was formed in 2018 to commercialize technologies developed at the University of Rochester and at Rochester Institute of Technology for passively detecting heart rate through camera sensors.

Medocity launches COVID-19 digital platform with Hillcrest Home Care enabling large-scale population screening, surveillance, remote monitoring and virtual interventions

Leave a comment


This type of systematic monitoring and targeted response is proving to be a key component in the fight to stop the spread of COVID-19


PARSIPPANY, N.J. (PRWEB)

Medocity, a leader in enterprise virtual care technology, today launched its COVID-19 screening and remote monitoring solution for Hillcrest Home Care, part of Nebraska’s largest post-acute health services provider. Built upon Medocity’s flagship Digital Care Platform, the population-based COVID-19 program enables virtual screening, remote symptom monitoring, vital signs tracking, and proactive interventions personalized for any population, including high risk patients with multiple co-morbidities.

“We recognized that during this health care crisis, we needed to quickly provide for the safety and well-being of both team members and clients in order to continue personalized skilled medical care in the home,” said Lauren Wright, Administrator of Hillcrest Home Care. “Coronavirus puts many of our home health clients, particularly those with complex conditions such as COPD and CHF, at far greater risk than before. We can now remotely monitor and track changes to temperature, oxygen levels, and other COVID-19 specific symptoms every day. This allows us to quickly identify those requiring additional healthcare attention, so that we can provide the right service at the right time. This customized service is a game changer to supplement our in-home nursing and therapy visits, and it also provides us with a HIPAA-compliant telemedicine platform for virtual visits as needed.”

In response to the expanding global threat, Medocity accelerated development of a targeted digital program with COVID-19 specific clinical protocols to:

  • Aid in the early identification of possible COVID-19 cases in a population

  • Proactively push frequent, consistent, relevant communications and guidance personalized to each user

  • Allow for real-time active monitoring of individuals and reported symptoms

  • Facilitate timely escalation of care as changes in health status are noted

  • Track and report evolving COVID-19 related population health statistics and trends over time to ensure resources are appropriately deployed

“The Medocity platform’s data and reporting capability allow for a systematic view of users’ COVID-19 symptoms and status in real-time and by location. There have been examples from around the globe where this type of systematic monitoring and targeted response is proving to be a key component in the fight to stop the spread of the disease,” said Robert Epstein, MD, epidemiologist, CEO of Epstein Health and member of Medocity’s Medical Advisory Board. “As hospitals and doctors-offices become inaccessible, we now see that we have to move away from reliance on in-person patient visits and use digital solutions to shift to remote, cost-effective, large-scale population surveillance and targeted intervention that would otherwise be impossible to do.”

Hillcrest Home Care clinical team members will use their own mobile devices to provide daily self-reported symptom checks to ensure they are healthy and able to report to work. Separately, low-risk at-home patients can use their own mobile devices to perform the same self-assessments. For high-risk COPD and CHF patients, Hillcrest will utilize its existing remote monitoring program with pre-configured tablets and devices supplied by Medocity. Any reported patient-vitals such as temperature, heart rate, or oxygen levels (pulse ox) that are outside pre-determined parameters will trigger real-time clinician alerts and appropriate, proactive COVID-19 interventions.

“Our remote patient monitoring capabilities can be used for chronic and complex condition management, including co-morbidities, or for crisis management as we are demonstrating with our COVID-19 digital solution,” said Raj Agarwal, President, and CEO of Medocity. “Backed by recent FDA encouragement, Hillcrest Home Care providers now have visibility to patient’s at-home health status which may reduce the need for in-person visits and decrease the risk of coronavirus exposure. During this uncertain time, Medocity’s highly configurable, cloud-based digital platform allows any sponsor – including health care providers, payers, clinical researchers or public health agencies – to easily and quickly go virtual.”

About Hillcrest Home Care

Hillcrest Home Care offers skilled medical home health and telehealth services to aging adults in 11 counties in Nebraska and Iowa. The agency is part of Hillcrest Health Services, which offers the widest array of senior health care and housing services in the region, including independent and assisted living, memory support, post-acute rehabilitation, long-term care, adult day services, outpatient therapy, home health, hospice and in-home personal care. Hillcrest’s 1,600+ team members enhance the lives of more than 1,500 aging adults every day.

About Medocity

Pharmacies Welcome Trump Administration Call to Governors for Steps to Empower Health Professionals – Urge Removal of More Pharmacy Barriers Now

Leave a comment


Our nation will not be able to fully ‘bend the curve,’ norre-launch the economy, without unleashing pharmacies and pharmacists.


ARLINGTON, Va. (PRWEB)

The National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) today praised recommendations by the Trump Administration to state governors on how to empower healthcare professionals to meet Americans’ needs amid COVID-19. NACDS urged the Administration and the states to remove more barriers to assure pharmacies and pharmacists are fully ready for the escalating demands of the pandemic.

In a letter to the nation’s governors, Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar, asked for “assistance to extend the capacity of the healthcare workforce to address the pandemic.”

Several of the state policy changes that Azar urged are consistent with NACDS’ March 24 open letter to the White House, to Congress and to the governors. They include allowances for health professionals to work across state lines; for telehealth; for scope of practice; for licensure requirements; and for waiving of signatures during pharmaceutical deliveries.

“NACDS appreciates these recommendations to our governors from Secretary Azar and the Trump Administration, as they would reduce some barriers to patient care that jeopardize preparedness and effectiveness in pandemic response,” said NACDS President and CEO Steven C. Anderson, IOM, CAE.

“Yet this is a critical time, and anything less than a total approach from all levels of government will limit the ability of healthcare professionals to meet the impending demand of the American public during this crisis.

“Our nation will not be able to fully ‘bend the curve,’ nor re-launch the economy, without leveraging pharmacies and pharmacists – the healthcare destinations and professionals serving within five miles of most Americans. When a point-of-care test, treatment and vaccine for COVID-19 are readily available, it will be essential to leverage the accessibility of pharmacies and pharmacists. Pharmacies and pharmacists also have a tremendous role to play for patients with other conditions and illnesses suffering beside an overwhelmed healthcare delivery system. We are doing what we can now for our patients, communities and nation, and we want and need to be able to answer the call as demands rise.”
