https://www.prweb.com/

Xtalks Life Science Webinars

Patient recruitment continues to be the number one reason for study delays.


(PRWEB)

Join Shaheen Limbada, Executive VP of Global Clinical Operations at Veristat and Deepen Patel, MD, CCFP, Vice President of Medical Affairs at Veristat in a live webinar on Monday, October 28, 2019 at 12pm EDT (4pm GMT/UK) to hear why patient recruitment is a challenge for sponsors and potential solutions for it.

Patient recruitment continues to be the number one reason for study delays. It is estimated for every day a drug is not on the market, $1 million USD is lost in revenue, and more importantly, patients suffering from illnesses are left waiting for products that can help them achieve their health goals or provide a better quality of life.

The featured speakers will examine techniques used to ensure on-time patient recruitment initiatives including the following:


  • Feasibility process — what questions to ask to ensure the best sites are being selected for a particular program

  • Site engagement and why it’s critical to the success of a study and how to achieve it

  • Digital media strategies

  • Patient centricity: How to incorporate the patient voice into clinical trials

This webinar will benefit executives at start-up and emerging biotech as well as clinical operations, patient recruitment and site monitoring/management heads at small to mid-sized pharmaceutical/biotech companies.

Leave a comment


Seattle Jobs Initiative Logo

Seattle Jobs Initiative Logo

When we work together, we can dramatically increase the ability of marginalized populations to achieve self-sufficiency, especially those farthest from opportunity. Jeffrey Wendland, Acting Executive Director for Seattle Jobs Initiative


SEATTLE (PRWEB)

Seattle Jobs Initiative http://www.seattlejobsinitiative.com/, a recognized leader in designing, implementing, and sharing solutions to decrease wage inequality, today announced it has been awarded the One-Stop Operator contract for the WorkSource system in Seattle-King County. As the One-Stop Operator, Seattle Jobs Initiative (SJI) will serve as the system coordinator working for the benefit of all Seattle-King County workforce system service providers, partners, businesses and participants. The Workforce Development Council of Seattle-King County (WDC), which directs and oversees WorkSource Seattle King County and awarded SJI the grant, will manage SJI’s One-Stop Operator role to help ensure success.

“Seattle Jobs Initiative has a proven approach and understands how to best meet the needs of local labor markets and employers working to create inclusive economies,” said Kristen Fox, who serves as the Chief Human Resources Officer at Swedish Health Services and is the Board Chair for the Workforce Development Council of Seattle-King County. “I’m excited to see this formation of a new level of partnership between SJI and WorkSource that will create a positive impact for participants, a more coordinated system, and remove red tape to help people attain livable wage-earning jobs.”

Living-Wage Careers for Low-Income and Low-Skilled Adults

SJI is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on creating workforce development programs that improve the local workforce development system to benefit low-income job seekers. SJI has a proven track record of collaborating across multiple organizations to create and implement best practices that drive results. The blueprint for SJI’s approach is based on years of working with low-income residents, businesses, foundations, community colleges and community-based organizations. These best practices combine skills training with wrap around services, career navigation, work-based learning, and collaborative business-driven programs. The SJI programs have impacted over 17,000 participants, 82 percent of which have completed training with a 53 percent job placement rate. The programs have focused on people of color, those receiving government subsidies, unstably housed, justice-involved, people with less than a high school diploma, refugees, and those with limited English proficiencies and low basic skills.

The One-Stop Operator Goal: Collaboration and Community Key to Success

As the One-Stop Operator for the WorkSource System in Seattle-King County, SJI will assist in providing technical assistance and training for two full-service WorkSource centers, five WorkSource affiliate sites, and 38 WorkSource connection sites. These workforce services highly leverage SJI best practices and will focus on seamlessly integrating systems and common goals across various organizations. In addition, key values for success will center on implementing regular performance reviews, ensuring access to programs for all eligible individuals, driving measureable improvements that challenge the status quo, aligning partnership goals, and leveraging resources to provide a higher level of service throughout the region.

“In our role as an intermediary over the last 22 years, we’ve been able to collaborate closely with others to produce amazing outcomes for individuals and families by improving access and opportunities,” said Jeffrey Wendland, Acting Executive Director for Seattle Jobs Initiative. “We’re excited to bring this knowledge and spirit of collaboration to all of the partners that make up WorkSource in the Seattle-King County region, as well as other regions throughout the country. When we work together, we can dramatically increase the ability of marginalized populations to achieve self-sufficiency, especially those farthest from opportunity.”

Income Inequality Reached Its Highest Level in Over 50 Years

Income inequality in the United States expanded from 2017 to 2018 to the highest level in 50 years, according to recent figures released by the U.S. Census Bureau. Washington saw statistically significant increases in income between 2017 and 2018 with King County median income rising 5.9 percent to $95,009 in 2018 and a 13.8 percent increase in the number of households with earnings above $200,000. However, poverty rates for Seattle and King County (11.0 percent and 9.3 percent respectively) remained statistically unchanged since 2017, with 1 in 9 Seattle residents still living below the poverty line.

While King County’s unemployment rate of 3 percent bests the national average, it’s estimated that the nearly 300,000 adults work 40 hours a week, but do not earn enough to support children without a partner. In addition, over 140,000 children are living in a household with income less than a living wage. A single adult living wage in King County is $64,147.20 with one child, $74,089.60 with two children, and $96,512 with three ore more children. SJI has focused on serving these individuals and families in King County that earn up to 200 percent of Federal Poverty Level (FPL).

“Like many employers in King County, we have jobs to offer, but finding workers with particular skills, poses a challenge,” said Bridgette Bell, HR Manager with Alaska Marine Lines. We turned to SJI to help fill the gap and we were able to find an amazing diesel technician intern through their partnership with the South Seattle College diesel-training program. Not only did SJI connect us, but also they assist our intern with support services including childcare and tools as he attends the diesel-training program. This was a win/win all the way around that helped him begin a career in a growing field, helps our business, and also impacts the local economy.”

Nukkua Launches on Kickstarter, the World’s First Weighted Blanket with Cooling Ventilation Technology

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

NUKKUA SLEEPSUITE

As testament to the confidence we have in our product and the great sleep we believe our Kickstarter backers will get from VentoFlo™ Cooling, we are invested to start full production prior to the campaign launch.


SINGAPORE (PRWEB)

The Nukkua Weighted Blanket with VentoFlo™ Cooling, a first of its kind thermoregulation technology that enables users to keep cooler longer with a weighted blanket, is now available on Kickstarter.

Nukkua has incorporated a breakthrough design concept of enabling natural ventilation in weighted blankets by including ‘breathe openings.’ These breathe openings were mapped based on the human body’s thermal heat map and allow body heat that accumulate under a multi-layered blanket to disseminate naturally.

“We have developed this unique solution of VentoFlo™ Cooling as we believe the current market practice of using a ‘cooling’ textile for the covering of a weighted blanket is inadequate and offers only temporary relief of about 15-20mins. Many consumers have not been able to enjoy the full therapeutic benefits of a weighted blanket simply because it is just too hot to sleep with one,” said Founder and CEO Piau Phang Foo.

Weighted Blankets and Quality Sleep:

Weighted blankets are known to positively impact sensory disorders, anxiety, depression, autism and insomnia because of its simulation of deep pressure touch.

Through applying broad and deep pressure all over the skin, the large sensory input has a calming effect on the body. This is because by engaging the neuro-receptors in the body, deep pressure is known to encourage serotonin and dopamine production in our bodies. Serotonin and dopamine are chemicals or neurotransmitters in the brain that affects factors such as emotions, mood and social behaviour, appetite and sensations of pleasure. In addition, serotonin is necessary for the body’s ability to produce melatonin, the main hormone for sleep. It also suppresses cortisol, the stress hormone.

Solving a User Conundrum of Body Heat Interrupting Sleep:

Nukkua is the first to market with a thermoregulation solution for the issue of body heat and VentoFlo™ Cooling represents the most significant technology breakthrough in weighted blankets. 46 to 53 breathe openings (number depends on the size of blanket) is punched through all seven layers of the Nukkua weighted blanket. Each breathe opening is secured with twice repeated 400 zig-zag stitches to ensure that the inner weight fill of glass beads do not leak.

“Sleep is important to everyone, across all age groups and gender,” Foo said. “With Nukkua, which incidentally means ‘to sleep’ in the Finnish language, we are providing the features and a price point that will make it effective and affordable for busy people with high stress levels and anxiety to get the deep therapeutic sleep they need.”

Founder’s Guarantee:

For its Kickstarter launch on Oct 15th 2019, Nukkua is making available the 12lb or 15lb Twin and 15lb or 20lb Queen sized blankets. The blankets retail USD179 and USD212 respectively but all Kickstarter backers will enjoy a special early bird discount.

“As testament to the confidence we have in our product and the great sleep we believe our Kickstarter backers will get from VentoFlo™ Cooling, we are invested to start full production prior to the campaign launch. By planning and executing our supply chain deliverables very tightly, the Nukkua weighted blankets are expected to be delivered to our backers within three months of concluding our Kickstarter campaign. With a Nukkua weighted blanket as companion, we sincerely hope our backers will have the perfect hug without the heat!” said Foo.

About Kraine Technologies:

Nukkua is the flagship brand of sleep solutions under Kraine Technologies. Founded by Piau Phang FOO, former Chairman of Brookstone, Kraine Technologies was born out of a belief that technology transforms lives in more ways than one. With an innovation agenda, the company conducts research, develops concepts, builds solutions, and embeds technologies to offer a higher level of user experience.
