“Behind The Scenes” With Laurence Fishburne Talks Personalized Healthcare With The Assistance of Mobile Applications


News Image

Doctors can diagnose and treat patients remotely via the internet and communicate with numerous specialists anywhere in the world.

Actor, director, and producer, Laurence Fishburne is no stranger to the film industry. While he is most known for his acting abilities demonstrated in blockbuster hits like the “John Wick” series, Fishburne also makes an exceptional host on the educational show “Behind The Scenes” with Laurence Fishburne. “Behind The Scenes” features a broad array of topics. A new episode will focus on the healthcare industry. The segment will interview industry experts about the use of mobile applications in personalized healthcare.

It is no surprise how much technology infiltrates the lives of individuals daily. The healthcare industry is no stranger to the use of these modern advances. Technology is making the evaluation of personal healthcare options easier than it once was. Previously, a person had to schedule face-to-face interactions to set up coverage. This method came with its problems and limitations. With the aid of technology, the healthcare industry is transforming. Developers are creating applications that can help manage a patient’s coverage and options in a way that is lower in costs and easier to control.

Mobile technology is benefiting doctors as well. Doctors can diagnose and treat patients remotely via the internet and communicate with numerous specialists anywhere in the world.

These are a few of the ways how technology is aiding in personal healthcare. The new episode of “Behind The Scenes” with Laurence Fishburne will further explain how mobile applications are benefitting this sector of the healthcare field.

“Behind The Scenes” with Laurence Fishburne is a carefully reviewed program before broadcast to a larger viewing audience. The informational show has accepted several awards for its efforts in educative television.

Discover the BPM+ Health Community at the HIMSS20 Conference


https://www.bpm-plus.org/

BPM+ Health members are developing a common language and approach that will improve clinical practices globally, resulting in better health outcomes at reduced cost.

BPM+ Health, a community initiative to improve the quality and consistency of healthcare delivery, announced that it will participate in the HIMSS20 Global Health Conference & Exhibition, March 9 – 13, 2020, in Orlando, Florida. BPM+ Health will engage healthcare professionals and other stakeholders at HIMSS20 – the largest global health information and technology event – discussing its work to improve the quality and consistency of patient outcomes through the creation of open notational standards, supporting workflow and clinical pathways to fill a void that exists today.

“Many healthcare providers find it challenging to leverage and disseminate evidence-based practices to the point of care, which is intensified as patients navigate between care organizations,” said Ken Rubin, Acting Convener of the BPM+ Health community, and Director of Standards and Interoperability, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. “BPM+ Health members are developing a common language and approach that will improve clinical practices globally, resulting in better health outcomes at reduced cost, enabling contributors and consumers to advance their care practices without usurping their intellectual property.”

One of the first deliverables of the community is the Field Guide to Shareable Clinical Pathways, which supports the implementation of clinical guidelines and protocols to enable sharing between organizations. BPM+ Health operates as a non-profit industry trade consortium, and is open to all interested parties. With stakeholders representing multiple interests, including vendors, healthcare providers, professional societies and others, there are dedicated, focused communities-of-practice around all aspects of workflows, from authoring to adoption to implementation, in both clinical and administrative domains.

BPM+ Health Community at HIMSS20

Some of the most trusted names in the health community, including healthcare providers and vendors, have joined BPM+ Health and will be exhibiting at HIMSS20. You can find a listing of BPM+ Health-related sessions, demonstrations and booths from organizations participating at HIMSS20 here.

How to Deploy Root Cause & CAPA to Minimize Human Error

An FDAnews Webinar

Wednesday, March 4, 2020, 1:00-2:30 p.m. EST

https://www.fdanews.com/minhumanerror

Do employees fail because of process weaknesses that set them up for failure from the start? Does ones procedures provide necessary information and clearly indicate critical steps, along with warnings or cautions associated with the steps? Does ones systems work for manufacturing or the other way around?

Many variables from procedures, training to workplace environment affect human behavior. One needs to understand human behavior and the psychology of error in order to implement a process dedicated to investigating and fixing human errors.

Human Error Solutions’ CEO, an industrial-organizational psychologist and one of the world’s few human error reduction experts, Ginette Collazo, Ph.D., is here to explain how to:

  • Determine when human error is a causal factor of quality and compliance issues, as established in GMPs
  • Gain better control over human error by incorporating human factors in our process, procedures and systems
  • Understand the types of human error, including intentional and unintentional errors of omission and commission
  • Measure human error rates by using the root cause determination tool and cognitive load tool
  • Track human error and determine trends in quality and compliance by root cause coding structure
  • Make predictions regarding human error by diagnostic studies and root cause determination tool coding
  • Determine CAPA effectiveness by event reoccurrence and root cause recurrence


While human error may never be eliminated completely, attendees will come away with an understanding of the psychology of error and how to incorporate root cause and CAPA to minimize human error.

Are You Prepared for the New Requirements of the EU’s Medical Device Regulation?


Xtalks Life Science Webinars

The timeline provided by MDR was three years, which extends until 25 May 2020

In 2017, the EU’s revamped Medical Device Regulation (MDR) was published, which expanded the scope of regulations and requirements that currently govern medical device manufacturers under the Medical Devices Directive (MDD); the timeline provided by MDR was three years, which extends until 25 May 2020. Major changes from the previous MDD include:


  • Elimination of the “grandfathering” mechanism, which necessitates that all medical devices on the market must apply to be accredited, regardless of whether or not they were previously approved under earlier directives
  • Empirical evaluation and testing that demonstrates that devices are biocompatible, in alignment with ISO 10993-1:2018, and not merely relying on historical data that supports a device’s safety
  • Documentation that medical devices do not contain carcinogens, mutagens, or reproductive toxic substances. This can be accomplished by identifying and quantifying the materials that compose the medical device above 0.1 percent (by weight)

Join Scott Graham, PhD, Team Leader at EAG and Carolyn J. Otten, PhD, Senior Manager of Analytical Services at EAG in a live webinar on Thursday, March 5, 2020 at 2pm EST (11am PST) to learn about:

  • What manufacturers need to know about the EU MDR
  • Overview of the scope of testing, the analytical approach and turnaround times involved to address new MDR requirements
  • Three examples of the types of tests offered by Eurofins EAG, presented as case studies
  • Extractables and leachables studies
  • Potential follow-up steps after testing

This webinar will be followed by a live Q&A with the featured speakers.

The War Against Artificial Intelligence And Mass Unemployment – Do ‘Nootropic’ Brain Supplements Hold The Answer?


Artificial intelligence and nootropics.

Sophia is coming for you… Well, your job at least!

“Artificial intelligence will soon leave people displaced and needing to find a new way to put food on the table and it will likely be you.” – Archie Marks, creator of Nootropic supplement Nitrovit grimly states.

It’s difficult to name any of the large tech companies that aren’t investing time and energy into creating artificial intelligence technology. It’s already a big part of our lives, and with the market value set to increase from $9.5 billion to $118.6 billion by 2025 , it’s about to take over our lives.

Uber’s self-driving car ran 6 red lights near-missing multiple people on the crossings. A Tesla Model 3 driver was killed in an accident while using auto pilot mode. Sophia, a life-like android developed by Hanson Robotics, declared plans to destroy humanity whilst speaking on stage at the SXSW technology conference. The list of AI horror stories continues to grow every day.

But where does this leave us? Yes, we now enjoy our cars driving themselves. Yes, Alexa is on hand to order movie tickets. And Yes, our fridges can order the grocery’s. But what are the consequences of allowing artificial intelligence to take over more and more of our lives? And how can we keep up with the change?

“There certainly will be job disruption. Because what’s going to happen is robots will be able to do everything better than us… I mean all of us.”

– Elon Musk

Two Oxford academics, Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael Osborne, agree with Elon Musk and in their paper estimated that 47% of American jobs are at risk of being lost to automation from artificial intelligence . The world economic forum has a slightly more optimistic view and predicts that artificial intelligence will displace 75 million jobs while generating 133 million new ones by 2022 . Finally, the Mckinsey Global Institute predicts that between 40-160 million women will need to transition to higher-skilled roles by 2030 .

The exact figures are uncertain. However, one thing everyone agrees on when predicting the impact of artificial intelligence on the job market is that a large number of people are going to be out of a job. Once AI automation takes over industries, the people left behind will be required to learn a new profession and new skills, FAST. Furthermore, AI does not discriminate. Chinese venture capitalist and AI expert Kai-Fu Lee predicts:

“AI will increasingly replace repetitive jobs. Not just for blue-collar work but a lot of white-collar work.”

– Kai-Fu Lee

With millions of people predicted to be replaced by artificial intelligence by as early as 2022, US citizens are taking daily brain vitamins or ‘Nootropics’. Nootropics are supplements proven to enhance, improve, and optimize the brains ability to focus, learn, recall stored information, and remain motivated and productive… exactly what’s needed for the big change ahead. Archie Marks, the founder of leading Nootropic supplement Nitrovit comments:

“We can already see how artificial intelligence is automating so many processes, turning jobs into software. I really don’t think we are ready for the mass unemployment that awaits so many of us. The new required skills will be those AI lacks – Ingenuity, morality, confidence and rapport building skills, big picture thinking and creativity among others – And I believe Nootropics can help with that.”

– Archie Marks

When looking for supplements that are going to be effective at improving the brains ability to learn new skills, it is important to look out for specific Nootropics that aid accelerated learning. Noopept, Alpha GPC and Phosphatidylserine are all respected for their ability to accelerate learning while producing other benefits that have a compounding effect, improving a variety of cognitive abilities.

Noopept – Noopept is able to target focus, motivation and productivity, three key ingredients needed for skill acquisition and continuous success.

From surgeons to stage performers and from CEO’s to those with a hectic schedule, Noopept can help with the extra motivation and productivity required to cope with these stresses.

Alpha GPC – is a type of Choline that is widely considered as the godfather of Nootropics. This natural nootropic works by increasing the production of acetylcholine in the brain, which has a direct link to attention, memory, arousal and motivation.

Alpha GPC and other Choline based Nootropics have been used nationwide by students to cheat their exams by drastically improving their memory recall and ability to focus. Musicians and martial artists using Nootropics have been able to shave years off the required time to master their fields, by utilising the additional motivation and ability to recall learnt patterns faster than the average joe.

Phosphatidylserine – is a fatty-like substance that protects and covers every cell in the body. It has been shown to improve language skills, attention and memory formation, and is popular as a daily supplement among older people who want to stay sharp and switched on in the fast-paced world of today.

As AI learns and grows at an unprecedented rate, the skills we will need to compete may seem complex. Thankfully, acquiring a new skill or learning to code become manageable with Nootropics. Website building and software development, video and photography, and even creative writing, opens the doors to making money online, freeing individuals from the gloom of unemployment.

While governments and corporations battle over the regulation of artificial intelligence markets, the world gets closer to an unprecedented leap in AI technology. It will accelerate expert forecasts of the impact of AI and the increased automation will lead to a mass loss of jobs. Therefore, all of those affected will need to learn new skills quickly.

It is the responsibility of global leaders to protect society from such a catastrophic event. However, with nobody really knowing if the next technological leap is still years away, or in fact taking place tomorrow, Nootropics users are taking things into their own hands.

There’s no denying we’re facing big changes. However, Nootropic supplements like Nitrovit could help us stay relevant and valued in a rapidly evolving, and increasingly selective job market.

With constant disruption from AI let’s hope nootropics can keep us mere humans in the game.

If you would like to find out more about other Nootropic ingredients and how they can help you, head over to Neuro Laboratories website for an in-depth look into how they work.
