Leave a comment


“We’re pleased to welcome Atempo and Harmony Healthcare IT to the Active Archive Alliance,” said Peter Faulhaber, chairman of the Active Archive Alliance and President and CEO of FUJIFILM Recording Media U.S.A., Inc.


BOULDER, Colo. (PRWEB)

The Active Archive Alliance today announced that Atempo and Harmony Healthcare IT have joined the organization. Active archives provide modern strategies to solve today’s data growth challenges. Atempo and Harmony Healthcare IT join a growing number of industry-leading storage and IT vendors that together support the use of active archive solutions for data lifecycle management.

“We’re pleased to welcome Atempo and Harmony Healthcare IT to the Active Archive Alliance,” said Peter Faulhaber, chairman of the Active Archive Alliance and President and CEO of FUJIFILM Recording Media U.S.A., Inc. “As the challenge of managing increased data growth continues, the Alliance strives to bring the best of breed technologies together to provide active archive solutions for intelligent data management.”

The opportunity to derive value from the vast volumes of data being created is making active archives an increasingly important part of organizations’ data management road maps. New applications such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, and machine learning are putting pressure on today’s data storage infrastructures and are driving intense interest in active archive technologies. An active archive leverages an intelligent data management layer and enables online access to data throughout its lifecycle regardless of which tier it resides in the storage hierarchy. Active archive file systems span all pools of storage, whether they are SSDs, HDDs, tape or cloud.

Atempo’s data management solutions address the needs of very large storage with millions or billions of files and petabyte-scale unstructured data volumes for mid-sized and corporate organizations. “Atempo has long played a role in large-scale on-prem and cloud archiving. We believe in the active side of archiving; ensuring our customer data remains safe yet accessible and available for business needs,” said Luc d’Urso, Atempo CEO. “Our vendor-agnostic Miria platform for archiving solutions moves data intelligently and rapidly between different locations. Our current and future machine learning and artificial intelligence innovations will serve to boost Miria’s power and scope.”

Harmony Healthcare IT stores billions of records and petabytes of data as a first-to-market innovator of legacy data management solutions for medical facilities. “As the amount of protected health information skyrockets, healthcare leaders rightfully demand preservation and protection of data that will mitigate the risk of breach and meet retention requirements,” said Shannon Larkin, VP of marketing and business development at Harmony Healthcare IT. “Our active archive solution, HealthData Archiver®, meets those demands and makes records accessible and usable for clinical decision-making, records release, eDiscovery, financial transaction posting, research, and analytics. By joining the Active Archive Alliance, we hope to network across industries with other data management and storage professionals to further enhance our healthcare offering.”

“Any patient who has concerns about thinning or damaged hair can benefit from improving the health of their scalp. A healthy scalp is an infrastructure for healthy and luxurious hair.” – Charles E. Crutchfield III, M.D.


EAGAN, Minn. (PRWEB)

Crutchfield Dermatology has a long history of providing exceptional skincare. The HydraFacial Company has a long history of revolutionizing skin health, and the ‘HydraFacial Keravive’ treatment for scalp health is the most recent in a long line of personalized skin-ovations. As a ‘first of it’s kind’ scalp treatment, HydraFacial Keravive has a proprietary serum that targets every aspect of scalp and hair follicle health. Keravive therapy is a unique treatment designed to cleanse, stimulate, nourish, and hydrate the scalp for fuller and healthier-looking hair. Poor scalp health – dry skin, clogged follicles, dead skin cells, lack of circulation – can lead directly to poor hair quality and scalp health. Like the original HydraFacial treatment, the scalp treatment is a 3-step program. Two of the three scalp steps are performed in-office. This includes the cleanse/exfoliate and stimulate/nourish components. The third part is a take-home spray that extends and enhances the results of treatment.

“We are proud that The HydraFacial Company continues to be a category creator – as with our past skin health innovations, we saw an opportunity and a need to develop this new scalp health category,” said Clint Carnell, the Chief Executive Officer of HydraFacial. “HydraFacial has always offered consumers the confidence that comes with healthy skin. We wanted to offer the same confidence to the millions of people who are affected by thinning hair.”

“The benefits of a healthy scalp are vitally important for both skin health and hair quality. At Crutchfield Dermatology are the nation’s leading provider of HydraFacial treatments, and we are thrilled to off this revolutionary scalp treatment. We are combining it with platelet-rich plasma treatments and a combination of several unique, proprietary hair-growth tonics that we have developed, for remarkable hair growth results. This combination treatment is for anyone who has thinning hair, hair loss or poor scalp quality. Any patient who has concerns about thinning or damaged hair can benefit from improving the health of their scalp. A healthy scalp is an infrastructure for healthy and luxurious hair,” said Charles E. Crutchfield III, medical director of Crutchfield Dermatology, Eagan, Minnesota.

HydraFacial Vortex Technology and Keravive Peptide Complex Solution cleanses, exfoliates, stimulates, and delivers a proprietary blend of growth factors and skin proteins to hydrate, nourish and stimulate the scalp. For best results, it is recommended that consumers have the HydraFacial Keravive in-office treatment once a month for three consecutive months, along with platelet-rich plasma treatments. Additionally, it is recommended to use Dr. Crutchfield’s unique hair growth tonic, select hair growth vitamins, prescription medicines, essential hair growth oils, and the continuous use of the at-home Keravive spray. The combination of all these treatments for hair loss (Keravive program, platelet-rich plasma, hair tonic and NutraFol vitamins) works synergistically for amazing results.

The HydraFacial Keravive treatment is now available at Crutchfield Dermatology for patients to increase scalp health and support the treatment of hair loss.

Sugary and Acidic Drinks are no Match for Dental Hygiene and Regular Checkups, says Santa Clarita Valley Dental Care

Leave a comment


The oral health clinic has been serving the area community since 1979.

With proper dental hygiene habits though, limited consumption of sugary and acidic drinks is probably reasonably safe for teeth – though there are other good health reasons for avoiding too many sugary beverages.


SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (PRWEB)

A January 15 article on MSN Lifestyle reports on five popular drinks that can wreak havoc on one’s teeth. The drinks, all of which are high in sugar and acids, are likely to cause pain and sensitivity with repeated, unchecked exposure—and most of the drinks on the list are all too often consumed throughout the day, including fruit juice, coffee and tea, sport and energy drinks, lemon or apple vinegar water, and wine. General and cosmetic dental center Santa Clarita Valley Dental Care says that, with proper dental hygiene habits, limited consumption of sugary and acidic drinks is probably reasonably safe for teeth – though there are other good health reasons for avoiding too many sugary beverages.

The comprehensive dental care clinic says that proper oral hygiene starts with flossing and about two minutes of brushing around 30 minutes after each meal or at least twice daily. The center adds that by waiting for roughly half an hour, a patient’s teeth enamel is able to re-mineralize, which reduces the likelihood of it being damaged by brushing. The center adds that a mouth rinse can eliminate any remaining bits of food that might be stuck between teeth. The final and very important step in dental hygiene, the center continues, is for patients to visit their dentist for routine care and, of course, if they experience any symptoms a dental ailment. The center adds that checkups can spot any minor issues before they have the time to develop into more serious concerns that can threaten teeth.

Santa Clarita Valley Dental Care says that visiting a dentist at the earliest point in the progression of a tooth malady can avoid a lot of pain and trouble. Moreover, preventive treatments are always a great deal less expensive in terms of both money and time when compared to restorative work. Even so, bad things sometimes happen to teeth regardless. The good news is that the vast majority of dental concerns are treatable, the center adds. It notes that it routinely treats everything from gingivitis to chipped and broken teeth, helping countless patients to obtain a healthy and beautiful smile.

Interested readers can find out more about Santa Clarita Valley Dental Care by visiting their website at https://www.scvdentalcare.com or calling (661) 493-8866 to speak with one of their friendly and professional customer service representatives. The clinic is open Monday through Saturday and has been serving the community since 1979.

Tampa health care expert unveils health care plan using artificial intelligence, genetics, medical case management to save taxpayers $1.4 trillion per year

Leave a comment


News Image

“I realized that in order to be taken seriously, I needed to take my plan directly to the American public, so that’s what I am doing,” said Roberts. “At the end of the day, the focus of my plan is on improving cost-effectiveness, while also improving the quality of care delivered.”


TAMPA, Fla. (PRWEB)

TAMPA, Fla. – Local health care expert and medical case management consultant Paul Roberts has spent two decades working to develop more efficient ways to improve healthcare, and now the 47-year-old is attempting his most ambitious task – to reform America’s health care system.

“There’s no question about it, our healthcare system is broken and that really is something that all Americans can get behind, regardless of their political ideologies,” said Roberts. “It affects all of us and we need to address it before costs skyrocket even more.”

According to Roberts, his alternative plan will save tax payers an estimated 40 percent over Medicare for All, while enhancing the overall quality of care.

Roberts calls his plan Coordinated Care for All, and while it is modeled somewhat like a single-payer government-managed healthcare system, there would be no mandate to participate. Private sector competition would continue by allowing people to opt out. The plan could also be easily adopted for use in the private sector as well.

Roberts’s plan focuses on several key areas including prediction of risk, education, prevention, cost containment, efficiency, and medical case management, combining all of these target areas of focus with a centralized computer system, while utilizing artificial intelligence and voluntary genetic input to predict risk.

Coordinated Care for All would combine technology, artificial intelligence and genetics to identify and target the following:


  • Prediction of risk: Predicts risk based on genetic predisposition (voluntarily submitted), family history and current medical status

  • Education: Provides education to the patient on how to prevent development or deterioration of a particular condition

  • Prevention: Emphasizes the importance of preventing disease through moderation in diet and exercise

  • Efficiency: Consolidation of medical records (though privacy must be maintained), Telemedicine (to improve access to care), Implementing medical case management (which is voluntary and based on patient consent) will expedite a patient’s recovery process

  • Cost Containment: Pharmaceutical legislation (as with substance abuse and large increases in the prices of medication), Improved standardization of hospital/surgery center billing practices, Efficiency lowers costs

According to Roberts, while all of this can be applied to a model for a single-payer source (Universal Healthcare), the same ideas can also be also applied to the private sector. Additionally, the allowance of pre-existing conditions and competition within the private healthcare sector are inclusive in the plan.

To promote his plan, Roberts has taken big steps. Originally, he tried working with lawmakers, but when that process resulted in slow results, he decided to invest more than $250,000 into the production of a feature-length documentary film called “Diagnosing Healthcare,” which is set to be released this spring.

Since beginning his push, Roberts has been gaining momentum. The Case Management Society of America published an article focusing on his plan in their latest issue of their flagship magazine, CMSA Today. Additionally, Roberts was recently interviewed about Coordinated Care for All on American Medicine Today, and next month Roberts is scheduled to speak at the Synapse Innovation Summit at Amalie Arena in Tampa Feb 11-12.

“I realized that in order to be taken seriously, I needed to take my plan directly to the American public, so that’s what I am doing,” said Roberts. “At the end of the day, the focus of my plan is on improving cost-effectiveness, while also improving the quality of care delivered.”

PMS Relief Product Bests the Competition with Top Rating from TopConsumerReviews.com

Moody Bird tackles PMS effectively and naturally


OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (PRWEB)

TopConsumerReviews.com recently gave a best-in-class 5 star rating to Moody Bird, a leading natural supplement for dealing with premenstrual syndrome, or PMS.

Millions of women around the world suffer from the effects of premenstrual syndrome, or PMS. While PMS typically occurs within a week of the onset of a period, some women may even experience it in the middle of their cycle. Symptoms include breast tenderness, bloating, mood swings, pelvic pain and insomnia, all of which can disrupt their ability to work, interact with loved ones, or even cope with life’s day-to-day challenges. However, a visit to the doctor in search of relief can often result in expensive prescription medications that may cause side effects that are worse than the PMS. It should come as no surprise that many women look to over-the-counter products, especially ones that are formulated with all-natural ingredients, to gain some control over the symptoms of PMS. These supplements are typically affordable, safe to use in conjunction with other medications like pain relievers, and often come with a strong customer satisfaction guarantee.

“Moody Bird tackles PMS effectively and naturally,” explained Brian Dolezal of TopConsumerReviews.com, LLC. “Manufactured by HUM Nutrition, this supplement uses Dong Quai Root and Chaste Berry to help you maintain a healthy hormonal balance. Those ingredients have been used for thousands of years by women around the globe, and customers rave about how effective Moody Bird is when it comes to reducing or completely eliminating their PMS symptoms. We also love the personalized approach to nutrition offered on the website, walking prospective customers through a series of questions to develop a holistic wellness profile that results in recommended product combinations for maximum health. Moody Bird is just $25 for a one-month supply, making it one of the most affordable all-natural options on the market. We’re pleased to give Moody Bird our highest recommendation as our first-place winner among PMS Relief products in 2020.”

Leave a comment


Era Living is launching Era Living Memory Care.

“Our goal in launching Era Living Memory Care and expanding our memory care offering is to help improve quality of life for more people living with dementia.”


SEATTLE (PRWEB)

Era Living, a senior living company, is pleased to announce the launch of Era Living Memory Care. Era Living Memory Care is offered at The Terrace. The Terrace is a secured memory care space within The Gardens at Town Square in Bellevue, and will open soon at Ida Culver House Broadview in Seattle. A cornerstone of Era Living Memory Care is the adoption of the Best Friends™ approach to dementia care.

The Best Friends approach is evidence-informed and designed to foster empathy and connection between staff and residents. David Troxel and Virginia Bell developed The Best Friends approach while working at the University of Kentucky Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center.

“Our goal in launching Era Living Memory Care and expanding our memory care offering is to help improve quality of life for more people living with dementia,” says Era Living Vice President of Operations Nisan Harel. “The Best Friends approach helps create more meaningful connections, more engagement with the world, and a real sense of purpose.”

More than 250 Era Living team members recently trained with David Troxel, Best Friends pioneer and internationally recognized expert on dementia care. The Best Friends approach is now an integrated component of Era Living Memory Care.

“As part of this new program, our memory care professionals learn and use the life stories of residents,” says Era Living Regional Director of Health & Wellness Albert Munanga, who has a doctorate in behavioral health. “Knowing the history and personality of each resident empowers our memory care team to communicate in caring ways and find activities that resonate with each resident.”

About Era Living

Since 1987, Era Living has been dedicated to fostering a healthy and engaging environment for older adults at all eight of its Seattle-area retirement communities. Each of these communities offers both independent and assisted living. Era Living Memory Care can be found at The Gardens at Town Square in Bellevue and Ida Culver House Broadview in Seattle.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (PRWEB)

At Home Independent Living is proud to be the only agency in Syracuse, NY to receive both national recognitions in 2020.

As a recipient of these awards, At Home Independent Living, Inc. distinguishes itself as a high-quality performer in the national home care industry. These awards are only granted to the top-ranking home care providers based on client and caregiver satisfaction surveys and certified client reviews. At Home Independent Living is ranked among a small handful of home care providers across the country who have proven their ability to provide an exceptional working experience to employees and the highest quality care to their clients. These accomplishments show At Home Independent Living, Inc.’s long-term dedication to excellent care and continuous improvement.

Dean Bellefeuille, President and owner of At Home Independent Living, Inc., stated, “First – It is imperative to our business to be able to demonstrate some tangible measures for individuals to use to assist them in choosing an agency to care for themselves or their loved ones. Reliability, consistency, and a “client-first” approach are not necessarily easy to demonstrate to potential clients, so our partnership with Home Care Pulse provides a mechanism for us to gauge our services to allow for an impartial measure of what our current clients and employees identify as our strengths. Second – The unbiased perceptions and information we receive from the monthly surveys has allowed us to identify areas for improvement, make adjustments and measure the effectiveness of corrective measures on a monthly basis. Third – The certified reviews represented through our relationship with Caring.com from our current and past customers provide an opportunity for potential clients researching home care options to determine and select the best agency for their needs. We could not be more pleased with these awards and we will continue to strive for excellence in all our services.”

At Home Independent Living, Inc. has shown an extensive record of consistency, earning the Home Care Pulse “Best of Home Care” award 10 years in a row along with the “Leaders in Excellence” award, presented to agencies in the top 5 percent for overall quality of service, three times.

Caring.com reviews help Americans research and select the best senior care providers for aging or ailing loved ones. In multiple research studies, family caregivers have indicated that they turn to the Internet and consumer reviews when narrowing their options among home care agencies in their area, and have relied on these perspectives as much as or more so than suggestions from professionals such as doctors or hospitals. Originally published in January 2012 as the first of its kind in senior living and expanded to home care in 2017, the Caring Stars annual list has become a go-to guide of the best home care agencies nationwide. To be considered for the award, Caring Stars agencies met a set of rigorous criteria based on ratings and reviews from seniors and their family members. Caring.com senior care experts also conducted a reviews-integrity audit and took other quality-assurance measures before determining the Caring Stars of 2020. “Congratulations to At Home Independent Living for being among these highly-rated agencies achieving such significant praise from their customers in online reviews,” Caring.com’s CEO Jim Rosenthal said. “They stand out as among the best in the nation for 2020.”

Accumen’s 3DR Labs Partners with Resonance Health to Expand its MRI Analysis Services

Leave a comment


“We are excited to partner with Resonance Health to provide our clients with this additional resource for mining valuable diagnostic data from their MRI images,”


PHOENIX (PRWEB)

Accumen Inc., the leader in healthcare performance, announced today that its 3DR Labs, LLC company is partnering with Resonance Health Limited (ASX: RHT) to provide FerriSmart magnetic resonance imaging- (MRI-) based liver iron concentration reports for its clients.

FerriSmart uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze MRI images and deliver a liver iron quantification result within seconds. This technology allows liver iron concentrations to be monitored effectively and efficiently for individuals with confirmed or suspected systemic iron overload, patients with thalassemia or sickle cell anemia who require regular blood transfusions, and recipients of artificial heart valves who may experience an increase in systemic iron levels over time.

“We are excited to partner with Resonance Health to provide our clients with this additional resource for mining valuable diagnostic data from their MRI images,” said Accumen President and CEO Jeff Osborne. “3DR is already working with 900 hospitals in the United States, creating three-dimensional images from their MRI and computed tomography scans. We consider FerriSmart Reports to be a natural extension to the comprehensive MRI analysis services that we already offer to our 3DR clients.”

“We are delighted to partner with 3DR Laboratories and significantly increase the number of patients who can benefit from our non-invasive, MRI-based FerriSmart technology. This important liver iron concentration information can provide invaluable insights and help to guide their treatment options,” said Resonance Health CEO Alison Laws.

“Iron deposition disorders, such as sickle cell disease and thalassemia, are a significant health problem not only in the U.S. but worldwide. 3DR is thrilled to partner with Resonance Health in delivering a safer, easier and less expensive AI-based technology to help care for these patients,” said 3DR Labs Chief Medical Officer Robert L Falk, MD.

Sickle cell disease is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders, characterized by hard, sticky, c-shaped red blood cells. These red blood cells die early, so they are always in short supply. They also tend to cause blood clots, which can result in pain, infection, acute chest syndrome and stroke.1 The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that sickle cell disease affects approximately 100,000 Americans and millions of people throughout the world.2

Thalassemia is a group of inherited disorders in which there is reduced hemoglobin levels, decreased red blood cell production and anemia.3 They are sub-divided into alpha-thalassemia and beta-thalassemia depending on whether the mutation occurs on the alpha or beta chain of the hemoglobin molecule.4 The incidence of symptomatic cases of beta thalassemia is estimated to be approximately 1 in 100,000 individuals worldwide.3

Resonance Health has received 510(k) clearance for FerriSmart from the US Food and Drug Administration, a CE mark from the European Medicines Agency, and regulatory clearance from the Therapeutic Goods Administration in Australia.
