Artificial intelligence is changing the way we live on this planet and its future is limitless according to Sharon Kleyne, host of the internationally syndicated radio program The Sharon Kleyne Hour Water Life Science®/Nature’s Pharma®, The Power of Water® & Your Health sponsored by Nature’s Tears® EyeMist® on VoiceAmerica and her special guest, Richard Li, a graduate of biochemistry, a graduate teaching assistant at Western Washington University, an author and concert pianist who studied to be a surgeon before switching paths to computer science and artificial intelligence.

For Kleyne, of course, everything begins with the water evaporation of the water vapor in the atmosphere. “Lack of education has been very concerning to me,” says Kleyne. “For planet earth to exist to eternity, people need to take the water seriously. Breathing the moisture in the atmosphere is vital to life. Evaporation takes you from dehydration to death. You need to know that word: Evaporation!”

Kleyne, founder and research director of Bio Logic Aqua® Research Water Life Science®, is also concerned that artificial intelligence could be used to alter the atmosphere and negatively impact peoples’ lives and health. “Artificial intelligence is really about the body living with the water vapor in the atmosphere,” says Kleyne. “What is happening with that computer and algorithm is affected by the water vapor in the atmosphere.”

Richard Li describes how “artificial intelligence is all about using computers to write software that thinks and process information like humans do. I’m specializing in the field of the mathematics of machine learning and deep learning, which is sort of a subset of artificial intelligence,” says Li.

Li goes on to describe how machine learning uses mathematical models, algorithm, in order to take in data that you currently have and extrapolate it in order to accommodate future information. It allows you to build models that predict alternative outcomes. Deep learning uses what is called a convolutional network in order to model the human brain.

When Kleyne asks about applications of artificial intelligence to assist diagnosis in the medical field, Li is enthusiastic. “One of the goals we’re going for with artificial intelligence,” says Li, “is to be able to assist doctors in their practice.” Yet, there is much work to be done. “At this point,” Li cautions, “the medical world is very behind when it comes to adopting artificial intelligence. I do believe we can use artificial intelligence to diagnose illness. We can use algorithm to analyze patient symptoms.”

Kleyne also raises the issue of world security and the ways it might be impacted by artificial intelligence. “China,” says Li, “has the most highly developed artificial intelligence system in the world. More than 300 million facial recognition cameras are installed throughout China. If, for example, you jaywalk,” says Li, “a camera/computer will immediately identify you and deduct a fine from your bank account.”

Still, artificial intelligence can be a force for good and can be used for almost anything such as storage and predicting alternate outcomes, Li points out.

Listen to the talk radio program organized by program director Rose Hong of Global Dragon TV and featuring Richard Li, pianist and author of Find True North (an identity and freedom quest tale set in North Korea) who is also a graduate student and a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Western Washington University in computer science and artificial intelligence and new water technology educator and evaporative dry eye researcher Sharon Kleyne as they discuss artificial intelligence and its possible application to the medical field, security, atmosphere, education, water and evaporation, follow this link: https://www.voiceamerica.com/episode/121578/artificial-intelligence-will-it-change-the-world

We know that sometimes the cost of the unexpected – like glasses, replacement lenses, contact lenses and other important eyecare needs – can create stress in our lives. Offering Sunbit transforms the accessibility of eyecare, eyeglasses, and other eye services for people across the credit spectrum.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
February 12, 2020

Sunbit, a technology company focused on improving the buying and selling experience for everyday purchases, now offers eyewear consumers the ability to split their purchases into monthly installments. The application process takes 30 seconds, with about 90% of patients approved and all qualified customers get an option to split their purchase into three, interest-free monthly payments.

Sunbit’s technology has been used in more than 2,500 retail locations across the U.S where consumers have used the service to split their payments on everyday expenses at auto dealerships, dentists, veterinarians, college bookstores, bike shops and more. Sunbit recognized the need for flexible payment and financing options for eyewear and is rapidly scaling its monthly payment program at eyecare locations throughout the country – making it even easier for shoppers to pay for things like eyeglasses.

For many patients, paying for eyeglasses, a regular eye exam, or receiving eye care services is an expense that is not in their typical weekly or monthly budget. In fact, in 2016 the American Academy of Ophthalmology found that nearly two out of three American adults have reported eye or vision problems, and yet a significant percentage of them do not receive the medical attention or eye exam necessary. In a CDC study, nearly 40% of Americans surveyed skip eye exams due to costs and lack of insurance. And without the proper eye exam, patients aren’t getting the right prescription lenses.

Standard Optical, Total Vision Optometry, Henry Ford OptimEyes, Dr. Tavel and Eye Doctor’s Optical Outlets are just a few of the many regional optical chains nationwide rapidly adopting Sunbit’s technology to better serve their patients.

“It’s rare that a new technology comes along with such an immediate impact on our business and bottom line,” says Robert Mursuli, COO, Eye Doctors Optical Outlets, which has over 50 locations across Florida. “Sunbit fills a much-needed void in the optical retail experience and we’re proud to be partnering with them.”

Offering Sunbit transforms the accessibility of eyecare, eyeglasses, and other eye services for people across the credit spectrum. Sunbit’s services allow customers to split any eyecare bill over $60 into three monthly payments with 0% interest at no extra cost. This empowers more eyecare patients to get the eyewear they need, and to manage the costs over time.

“We are excited to partner with Sunbit to make vision care and eyewear more accessible for our patients,” said Mollie Tavel, Director, Growth Initiatives and Community Engagement for Dr. Tavel Optical Group. “We feel that providing a payment solution is key to giving patients the financial flexibility, variety and choice they want when selecting their eyewear style. Sunbit is designed specifically for in-store use and our sales associates feel great about offering customers an interest-free, transparent way to stretch their dollars. Our stores are already on pace for an additional $7,000 per month, per store in Sunbit revenue — all within the first month of implementation. It’s a real win for everyone!”

Dr. Brandon Sanchez, Owner of Total Vision Optometry stores in California, noted that Sunbit has been a game changer for his business — helping to boost their capture rate, upsell second pairs of eyeglasses and promote other high-value packages.

“We know that sometimes the cost of the unexpected – like glasses, replacement lenses, contact lenses and other important eyecare needs – can create stress in our lives,” said Geoff Leyon, Executive Director of Business Development. “That’s why we’re providing an alternative financing option to pay for the things we all need that doesn’t come with the risks of accumulating long-term debt. Using Sunbit has allowed eyecare providers to convert otherwise previously lost sales into repeat customers. We’re proud to partner with visioncare providers across the country to help them provide more of their great services to even more patients.”

Developed to serve consumers across the entire credit spectrum, Sunbit leverages machine learning technology to personalize underwriting solutions that result in transparent and fair rates for more people. Customers can choose to pay over three months with 0% interest, or six or twelve months with interest. Sunbit approves 90% of its applicants within about 30 seconds, offering rates comparable to many traditional credit cards.

ABOUT SUNBIT:

Sunbit is a technology company that’s improving the buying and selling experience for everyday purchases. Sunbit reduces the stress involved at the register by providing fast, fair, and transparent installment financing solutions to people across the credit spectrum. Sunbit is offered in more than 2,500 retail locations in 42 states, including one in ten auto dealerships, veterinary care, eye care, dental and specialty health care service industries.

It’s easier to maintain a youthful appearance than try to reverse the signs of aging. MilfordMD Cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Richard E. Buckley shares the best treatments for millennials in their 20’s.

People in their 20s proactively turning to cosmetic treatments to prevent the signs of aging is like regular maintenance on a new car. Maintaining regular oil changes keeps the car in good condition. The same holds true for facial aging. It’s ideal to start maintenance type treatments in early 20s.

MILFORD, Pa. (PRWEB)
February 13, 2020

72% of facial plastic surgeons are seeing an increase in cosmetic surgery or injectables in patients under age 30, according to the annual survey by The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS). “Millennials in their 20s aren’t waiting until they are older to start getting dermal fillers and Botox,” says Dr. Richard E. Buckley, Medical Director at MilfordMD Cosmetic Dermatology Surgery & Laser Center and Cosmetic surgeon. “In fact, we’re seeing a significant increase in 20-something year old clients who want to know how to proactively retain their youthful appearance instead of waiting until their 40s when they will have to reverse the signs of aging.” Proactive cosmetic treatments are called ‘prejuvenation’ and when kept up can help forestall the need for rejuvenation.

In your 20s, not much is happening in the way your appearance showing signs of aging so the secret to maintaining the youthful look is a good skincare routine, including quality at-home skin care products and preventative cosmetic skin care treatments, such as facials, chemical peels, micro-needling, microdermabrasion, dermal fillers and Botox or Dysport, according to Dr. Buckley.

Preventative skin care treatments such as facials, chemical peels, microneedling, microdermabrasion, and injectables are ideal for individuals in their 20s to help with sun damage, pigmentation issues, general exfoliation, and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. “These preventative and rejuvenating treatments are gentle but powerful anti-aging treatments that refresh and renew the skin. A key benefit to starting these treatments in your 20s is their ability to non-invasively erase barely visible signs of aging from the skin,” says Dr. Buckley. “Combined with a good at-home skin care routine including a daily SPF and moisturizer, these treatments help the skin maintain a youthful, glowing appearance.”

The AAFPRS Annual Survey also revealed that compared to 2013, there has been a 22% increase in Botox injections. “For clients in their 20s, Botox Cosmetic or Dysport injections help ‘train’ muscles not to make the facial expressions which lead to wrinkles. This helps reduce the formation of fine lines and wrinkles for these clients,” says Dr. Buckley. FDA-approved Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau temporarily reduce muscle activity in the treated areas, which creates a noticeable smoothing of any existing wrinkles and, since the facial muscles are unable to contract as much, acts as a preventative measure against the creation of deeper or additional more prominent facial lines and wrinkles.

While the filler trends are shifting away from overly-enhanced looks like Kylie’s infamous pout to natural-looking enhancements, achieving fuller, beautifully detailed lips are still a popular request from MilfordMD clients in their 20s. “Even though most clients in their 20s are wanting fuller lips for a more Instagram-worthy smile, fuller lips also help you look younger,” states Dr. Buckley. According to an international study by David Gunn, a researcher at Uniliver, women with firm, plump lips look younger than their age. At MilfordMD, Dr. Buckley has multiple options for lip augmentation including hyaluronic acid fillers such as Perlane, Juvederm and Restylane Silk.

For clients in their 20s, lips are not the only area on the face that Dr. Buckley recommends hyaluronic acid dermal filler. “Hyaluronic acid fillers like the Juvederm and Restylane family of dermal fillers also help prolong a youthful appearance by stimulating the body’s production of collagen. While most people don’t start to lose collagen until they are around age 25, injecting small doses of hyaluronic acid in cheeks, jawline, and in developing folds, such as nasolabial folds, helps add volume, fill in existing wrinkles and encourage the body to produce more collagen which maintains a youthful look,” says Dr. Buckley.

Collagen, the most abundant protein in the body, works together with elastin to strengthen the skin and hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body, keeps your skin youthfully plump, smooth and hydrated. “Dermal fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane are ideal for proactively treating the effects of aging as they address two of the main causes. Both replenish hyaluronic acid and encourage collagen production which helps the skin retain elasticity, youthful fullness and diminish the appearance of any existing fine lines and wrinkles,” states Dr. Buckley. “My goal is to always achieve amazing, ultra-natural looking results which is why the amount of injectable used is significantly different for a client in their 20s compared to a client in their 40s who has more signs of aging to address and more facial volume loss requiring more filler.”

For individuals in their 20s who want to maintain their youthful appearance, it is all about treatments that address any existing signs of aging, such as sun damage to the skin, combined with treatments that proactively replenish collagen and hyaluronic acid – the building blocks of youthful skin. “It’s helpful to start as early as possible when it comes to anti-aging,” says Dr. Buckley. “If you think of it like the air in a tire, it’s much easier to keep your tire in good condition by checking it regularly and keeping it topped up. If you wait until the air pressure is half what it should be, you’ll end up wearing your tire out much faster. By starting with skin rejuvenating procedures in your 20s, it’s much easier to have firm, plump, youthful-looking skin into your 40s.”

Early bird pricing for the SOPs for the 21st Century: Why Less is More Workshop ends on Feb. 20.

Are the current SOPs written for the auditor, or to help the staff? Far too often, SOP documents end up reading like some complicated legal document when what the people really need is something they can quickly skim and digest every day.

This workshop provides one with an opportunity to hear from John Avellanet — an acknowledged SOP expert who’s defended SOPs and policies to government inspectors and litigators alike — who will show attendees the practical techniques to streamline and simplify policies and procedures, all while strengthening compliance. And one will also share experiences and learn from fellow attendees who are confronting the same issues.

By attending this critical workshop and attendees will find out:

•What inspection questions to expect about SOPs and policies

•How to take advantage of the Policy-SOP-Task Outline hierarchy

•How to use forms, checklists, and templates to reinforce compliance

•How to make procedures and policies less like a wall of text, and more understandable and followable

•And much more…

Attend this highly-interactive, two-day workshop that will teach the practical techniques needed for writing fast-read, flexible and compliant SOPs — SOPs that will meet FDA requirements as well as today’s globalized expectations.

Early bird pricing ends on Wednesday, Feb. 20.

Dental implants have other advantages beyond restoring the functionality and appearance of a patient’s natural teeth; they also serve a vital role in safeguarding oral health.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (PRWEB)
February 12, 2020

A January 10 article on KSAT San Antonio reports on the five ways that dental implants can improve one’s life. To begin with, implants stay put and last indefinitely, unlike removable bridges and dentures that are prone to shifting while speaking or eating. The article also points out that dental implants are almost indistinguishable from natural teeth, helping patients to feel more confident in their appearance. Just as important, dental implants restore full functionality to patients’ mouths, allowing them to eat a full range of foods – as opposed to only eating softer foods.

Beverly Hills Periodontics and Dental Implant Center says that when a patient is in need of a dental implant, the individual is usually suffering from one of two conditions. The first, the center says, the patient is already missing one or more teeth. The center says that the second reason a patient might need a dental implant is to replace a tooth that is not yet missing but is severely compromised by tooth decay or other types of damage, such as trauma. In either case, if the missing teeth are not replaced, the adjacent teeth start shifting and cause malalignment. Rotated and tilted teeth may allow the accumulation of plaque and bacteria leading to periodontal disease. In addition, the shift in the bite may lead to the mobility of some teeth due to possible hyper occlusion (significant misalignment) of those teeth.

Beverly Hills Periodontics & Dental Implant Center says that dental implants also serve another function by preventing bone loss in the jaw. Lack of teeth can lead to major bone loss in the jaw and perhaps change the appearance of facial structure. The presence of dental implants mimics the same stimulation that is necessary to preserve the jaw bone.

I hope this expansion makes our services even more accessible and allows even more New Yorkers to enjoy better overall mental health.

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
February 13, 2020

Manhattan Mental Health Counseling, a psychotherapy private practice in New York City that accepts insurance, has opened a new location to keep with increasing demand from patients. Since being founded in 2014, the organization has enjoyed significant growth, with both new and repeat customers seeking help from its therapists.

“Manhattan Mental Health Counseling was founded on the belief that everyone should have access to therapy,” explains founder Natalie Buchwald, “Providing insurance-based psychotherapy is only one part of that. Equally important is ensuring we have enough staff to provide patients with their care in a timely manner.”

Situated at 216 East 45th Street, Suite 1101- just a few blocks from the Chrysler Building – the new office features a beautifully-designed interior with seven state-of-the-art therapy rooms.

The new IncludeConnect technology made its debut at the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA’s) 2020 Combined Sections Meeting in Denver, Colorado.

“IncludeConnect is a comprehensive musculoskeletal solution that provides rich and relevant data sets to healthcare, to drive better outcomes and next-generation care in physical therapy, occupational therapy, performance training, and general wellness,” said Ryan Eder of IncludeHealth.

CINCINNATI (PRWEB)
February 13, 2020

IncludeHealth, an internationally awarded digital health and performance company, today announced the launch of IncludeConnect, a revolutionary musculoskeletal technology that brings digital capabilities to any equipment used for rehabilitation, performance training or general health. IncludeConnect was developed through pilot programs and feedback from practitioners in two health care systems to enhance the way providers deliver both care and training. The platform connects, digitizes and integrates any piece of strength or cardio equipment into a HIPAA compliant, medical-grade software called the IncludeCloud™, allowing quantitative and qualitative measurement with feedback to drive better outcomes.

The new technology made its debut at the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA’s) 2020 Combined Sections Meeting in Denver, Colorado.

“IncludeConnect is both powerful and practical, allowing any and all equipment to be connected, digitized and integrated into one cohesive, medical-grade platform,” said Ryan Eder, CEO and Founder of IncludeHealth. “Unlike other commercial and consumer grade connected equipment, IncludeConnect is a comprehensive musculoskeletal solution that provides rich and relevant data sets to healthcare, to drive better outcomes and next-generation care in physical therapy, occupational therapy, performance training, and general wellness.”

IncludeConnect consists of small, rechargeable sensors and connected tablets running the IncludeCloud software. These sensors seamlessly pair with battery-powered kiosks that house each tablet and connect all of a facility’s equipment regardless of manufacturer or model. Cloud-based exercise programs are generated in seconds and sent to each kiosk. Entire programs are autonomously sent delivering machine setup, exercise instruction and live guidance. Sensors collect objective, outcome-based data during a workout and passively send it to the IncludeCloud for review. Beyond traditional repetition counting and distance or time tracking, IncludeConnect measures variables including force, power, velocity, and range of motion to both quantify and qualify health and performance. Providers can securely view each client’s profile to review compliance, details of the data, and analyze progress over time. This empowers trainers and providers to expand capacity, objectively validate progress, and deliver a richer client experience with improved outcomes.

“What healthcare needs is to have an agnostic connected platform that allows us to use our existing equipment, but make it smarter. We shared that insight with IncludeHealth, and that’s where it all started,” said Michael A. McCormack, Jr., Regional Director of Rehabilitation Services at Mercy Health, Cincinnati.

IncludeHealth piloted IncludeConnect with Bon Secours Mercy Health in Cincinnati, as well as Health Partners Neuroscience in Minneapolis. After a year of tracking real-time feedback to understand workflows and nuances about how the technology would fit into day-to-day operations, the product is now ready to launch.

“We had been using the IncludeStrengthTM, IncludeHealth’s connected, functional trainer, for about a year and were able to collect an unparalleled data set on the health and performance of our patients ,” said Marny Farrell, Director of Rehabilitation at Regions Hospital | HealthPartners. “However, we were limited in that we could only collect data from one machine and we wanted a way to connect the rest of our equipment into IncludeHealth’s platform. IncludeConnect fills this gap. We’re now able to extend the digital functionality we loved so much from the IncludeStrength across multiple pieces of equipment to provide one cohesive and seamless experience.”

IncludeConnect is available through a subscription, and is suitable for any facility or network that’s helping people to be more active and healthy through the use of equipment.
