“We believe our industry is at a turning point with the emergence of new technologies and modernized solutions”

SMG3Rx, a clinical mobility platform powered by Strategic Mobility Group (SMG3), concluded a week of live streams from inside their headquarters in Schaumburg, IL. The healthcare mobility experts pivoted to a virtual booth experience after the global health conference and exhibition was canceled last week due to concern for COVID-19.

HIMSS has continually proved itself as the industry-leading conference, bringing together nearly 45,000 health information and technology professionals, clinicians, executives and market suppliers from around the world. SMG3Rx was determined to keep the conversation going by providing an educational forum for would-be attendees.

The live streams were scheduled from March 10-12, occurring at various times of the day to ensure everyone had the chance to tune in.

Eric Holmes, Vice President of Sales, presented on a wide range of topics from Android deployment strategy to SMG3Rx’s Mobile Managed Services (MMS). Later, Ryan Austin, an account manager for the company, went over Unified Communications, Life Cycle Management, Voice Over IP Communications, and more. During the demonstrations, Holmes and Austin gave an inside look at the leading hardware in healthcare and how Android powered devices are the best choice for operating any hospital successfully.

Holmes stated, “We believe our industry is at a turning point with the emergence of new technologies and modernized solutions. SMG3Rx is determined to continue our leading support for deploying and managing Android in the Enterprise.”

HGE Health Introduces Remote Patient Monitoring Platform to Screen Patients for Coronavirus and Remotely Monitor Symptoms of COVID-19


“There’s no way to remotely treat or diagnose COVID-19. The objective is to use remote patient monitoring of CDC identified risk factors to slow infection rates to levels that can be adequately addressed by the health care system’s current capacity” explained Michael Markus, PhD, CEO of HGE Health

HGE Health, an industry leader in remote respiratory symptom management, has modified its digital platform for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) to remotely monitor patients’ exposure to and symptoms of COVID-19. The adapted platform offers an easy-to-use graphical interface that guides users through a questionnaire prepared in accordance with the Center for Disease Control (“CDC”) guidelines. Patients track their level of exposure to the virus, common and other symptoms being experienced, and other risk factors on a daily basis. Patients’ daily risk factors are totaled to help support triage by health care providers. HGE Health is rapidly scaling and deploying the newly adapted platform, HGE COVID Care, offering inundated health systems, hospitals, and employers nationally a vital tool to address the overwhelming number of patients requiring care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hospitals and health systems can reduce the influx of patients presenting in person with mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19 who could safely be quarantined and monitored at home, ensuring scarce resources are available for patients with severe symptoms that require immediate medical attention.

The CDC is recommending all members of the general population practice “social distancing “to slow the spread of the virus among the population and prevent the health system from being overloaded. By tracking daily risk factors such as symptoms and exposure using HGE COVID Care, patients with known or unknown exposure to COVID-19 can safely distance themselves and quarantine if necessary. Even patients who develop mild symptoms can stay in contact with health care providers to ensure they can safely be monitored and quarantined from home and avoid exposing others or adding unnecessary strain on the health care system.

“There is no way to remotely cure, treat, or diagnose COVID-19,” explained Michael J. Markus, PhD, CEO of HGE Health. “The objective here is to promote remote patient monitoring of risk factors identified by the CDC, such as exposure to infected individuals, common symptoms like fever, cough, and shortness of breath, and other symptoms, and to help slow and sustain a level of infection that can adequately be addressed by the health care system’s existing capacity.”

COVID-19 has now spread to over 110 countries around the world, infecting more than 120,000 and killing more than 4,000. The World Health Organization (“WHO”) recognizes that the severity of Coronavirus is linked to the age and health condition of patients. Patients of an advanced age (at least 60 years old) and diagnosed with a co-morbid disease are the most likely to experience a severe infection of Coronavirus, which requires special treatment of patients such as those enrolled in HGE Health’s platform who suffer from a respiratory condition. The WHO’s clinical management recommendation states that oxygen therapy is the major treatment intervention for patients with a severe Coronavirus infection, as patients with an acute respiratory infection are at significant risk of critical illness. Mortality in those with critical illness has been reported as over 50%, according to the WHO, thus implementation of proven critical care interventions such as lung protective ventilation should be optimized.

About HGE Health

Headquartered in Fort Washington, PA, HGE Health harnesses its deep experience in chronic disease management and digital health in pulmonary disease, telemedicine and mobile health to develop a clinical services platform that delivers better care faster at a much lower cost for patients, physicians and payors. Built on clinical protocols developed and supported by 16 years of research, the company’s technology has compiled the longest running and world’s largest longitudinal data set of COPD symptoms, interventions and clinical management to help physicians provide care for a geographically and socio-economically diverse COPD and pulmonary patient population.

Cloud Radial CEO Jeff Farris Give Managed Service Providers (MSPs) Adivce on Recession-Proofing Their Business


Jeff Farris headshot

Jeff Farris CEO of CloudRadial

MSPs should consider themselves as first responders in helping clients mitigate the risk the virus presents to business.

COVID-19 is going to affect every business and every person and it will have a long-term impact on every MSP business.

When it comes to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) virus pandemic, MSPs should consider themselves as first responders in helping clients mitigate the risk the virus presents to business. For MSPs, COVID-19 is a threat that, like ransomware, the MSP is in a unique position to help address through:

  • Better education on the productivity tools the client already has like Microsoft Teams.
  • Implementation of the collaboration tools the client doesn’t have, such as a proposed but not implemented migration to Microsoft Office.
  • Shifting in-office servers and line-of-business applications on desktops or phone systems to the cloud.
  • Helping clients identify costs-savings in internet connections, line-of-business applications or processes.
  • Implementing company intranets to help clients communicate better with remote workers.
  • Improving training capabilities to compensate for a lack of in-house help.
  • And, in severe cases, helping clients deal with staff reductions in a secure and orderly way.

Changes that would have occurred more slowly will now happen at a much faster pace:

  • The “work from anywhere” sales pitch MSPs have used in the past was previously a luxury that many businesses will now see as a necessity.
  • Long-term employee mobility will now become a mandatory part of any disaster recovery and continuity planning.
  • Onsite systems will be viewed as potential liabilities rather than optional ways of delivering services.
  • Adoption of software and systems that reduce labor costs or promote efficiency.
  • Initiatives to turn in-person meetings and conferences into virtual events. For MSPs, think client meetings over Teams rather than onsite.
  • Cloud-based security and security monitoring to protect workers outside of secured site environments.
  • Virtual desktops to reduce dependency or BYOD home computers.

MSPs should be offering clients free COVID-19 impact assessments to help identify the IT needs created by this threat.

Again, MSPs should consider themselves as first responders to the crisis and have a proactive plan to help clients weather the threat so they emerge stronger, leaner and more agile afterwards. It’s nothing that MSPs haven’t already been doing for years and something they are well prepared for.

Algarithm Chosen As DHA Supplier For New Plant-Based Omega-3 Product Line From Industry-Leader, Wiley’s Finest


Leading Omega-3 producer Wiley’s Finest has selected Algarithm’s alphamega3TM algal oil as the DHA ingredient for its new Omega-3 product line, CatchFreeTM Omega. The line launched online last week after the postponement of Natural Products Expo West due to the developing global COVID-19 situation changed plans to launch at the event.

“Our team searched the globe for an exceptional quality vegan source of DHA to incorporate into CatchFreeTM Omega, our newest line of vegan supplements for our plant-focused shoppers. Of the available sources of algal DHA, Algarithm was the clear winner in taste and exceptional quality. But, our decision to work with Algarithm was about more than just taste: their focus on personal attention and comprehensive technical support meshes well with our family-owned and operated brand,” said Wiley’s Finest CEO, Sam Wiley.

The decision from Wiley’s Finest is a big moment for Algarithm, as it represents a validation of their efforts, and re-affirms their status as a superior-quality producer of plant-based Omega-3 ingredients.

“Wiley’s is well-known in our industry for being focused on high-quality ingredients, sensory experience, and high-dose delivery. Their selection of Algarithm as a DHA supplier reinforces our own commitment to making the best-tasting algal Omega-3 oil on the market,” said Ben Kelly, Algarithm’s co-founder and managing partner.

The partnership also signals an important shift in the Omega-3 industry: increasingly, forward-thinking producers and brands are diversifying their businesses and responding to increasing consumer demand for high-quality, plant-based alternatives to animal-derived products and ingredients.

Algarithm produces plant-based, ocean-friendly Omega-3 ingredients derived from an unmodified strain of microalgae, initially sourced and isolated from the pristine waters of Canada’s Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia. The company strives for global access to high-quality, essential nutrition and believes plant-based diets to be a central tenant of a sustainable future.

Through patented processes, innovative delivery methods, and novel applications, Algarithm endeavours to make the consumption of Omega-3s easy, enjoyable and eco-friendly for everyone. The company prides themselves on producing DHA ingredients of high quality and exceptional sensory profile, and on developing meaningful relationships and collaborative partnerships with their customers. Both of these commitments were a factor in the decision to include Algarithm’s alphamega3TM oil in the new CatchFreeTM products from Wiley’s Finest.

CatchFreeTM Omega is available from Wiley’s Finest in two great-tasting forms: a naturally-flavored, tropical mango full-spectrum Omega-3 liquid oil, and a full-spectrum Omega-3 softgel. Both products deliver market-leading levels of Omega-3s: 2300 mg in the liquid formulation and 700 mg in the softgel per serving, with 500 mg of DHA in each.

Dave Nassaney Relaunched His Best-Selling Book, “It’s My Life Too! THRIVE to Stay Alive as a Caregiver,” During His Fourth 2020 National Book & Media Tour


I have loved hammocks for as long as I can remember. I would usually solve the world’s problems (and my own) while lying on my hammock as I pray, meditate, and gain wisdom from above. On July 30, 2017, it finally occurred to me that I was being very selfi

It’s My Life, Too! THRIVE and Stay Alive ass a Caregiver

30% of Caregivers Actually Die Before Their Loved Ones Do

Dave Nassaney became his wife, Charlene’s, caregiver in 1996 after their 21st wedding anniversary. She lost her speech and became paralyzed on the right side from a devastating stroke. For the next 2 years they both went through the grief process, and almost separated. However, Charlene eventually entered into the “acceptance” phase of her grief, and started becoming her old self again – their love was rekindled.

They both reinvented themselves and embraced their “new” normal. She still cannot speak or walk, but she makes most people look like whiners & complainers. Despite her disability, she is a very strong, independent lady. They just celebrated 45 years together.

Dave realized after the grief that there are so many other caregivers out there feeling lost, alone and hopeless. He didn’t want them to have to go through the same pain he went through. He didn’t want them to give up, like he almost gave up. So he became “Dave, The Caregiver’s Caregiver.”

He now hosts his own syndicated radio show heard in all 50 states and 135 countries. He has appeared on 33 network morning shows on NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX from Honolulu to Washington, DC. He is a best-selling author of “Dave’s Hammock Wisdom, 99 Lessons Learned Living Life.” He is writing his 4th book, is an award-winning speaker, and has spoken at dozens of prestigious venues, and just signed a deal to have a documentary filmed about their life together.

His membership website, http://www.CaregiverDave.com was designed to help caregivers become part of a community where they feel supported, and become equipped with the necessary tools to thrive. Caregivers are not alone, in Caregiver Dave’s community, they are surrounded by caring and understanding individuals who have gone through exactly what they are going through in their difficult journey.

Dave’s site has tons of helpful articles and blogs, inspirational videos, an introductory coaching call, weekly group calls, a copy of his first book about overcoming unbelievable hardships, 7 “Thrive Pacs” to help you get started, or get you back on track with your caregiving journey, a private and public Facebook group to build community, a resource page, an audio soundtrack to help you sleep soundly, and 100% access to Dave’s 23-years of caregiver wisdom.

All of the above is available for a very low one-time membership fee FOR LIFE!. We encourage those who love a caregiver in their life to give “the gift of life” to their favorite caregiver so they can become healthy again, and go on to live a joyful & peaceful life — to not just survive — but to THRIVE!
