Mariana Krym, SVP of Blockchain at the VSC Foundation, offered, “What’s perhaps even more concerning is that people don’t have a choice. Anyone with a wearable, iPhone, or other IoT device is subject to health data collection whether they agree to it or not – and whether they know about it or not. They literally are the product but don’t own the data or its value. The VSC ecosystem is already taking steps to change that by giving people full ownership and control over what health data is shared and earning rewards for doing so.”
The VSC HealthFi ecosystem is built on Vyvo Smart Chain, which deploys Proof-of-Sensing to ensure that individual health data is coming from real people via real biosensors. To start earning rewards on health data, an individual needs to add a VSC Data NFT to their VSC wallet within their wearable or mobile device. The proprietary VSC-PoSe chip verifies collected health data and immediately encrypts it so that only anonymized data is made available for purchase by research institutions and other healthcare entities.

etherFAX provides these next-generation capabilities with innovative secure document exchange solutions and AI-powered data extraction capabilities. etherFAX’s WEAVE™ solution suite enables organizations to extract vital clinical data from faxes and seamlessly integrate that data into other healthcare workflows. This capability not only enhances operational efficiency but also contributes to the accuracy of patient record matching.
With etherFAX WEAVE™, organizations can automatically route documents to precise patient records, extract specific clinical data from incoming faxes, and harness this data to create a longitudinal record for patients. This approach allows healthcare professionals to make well-informed decisions, streamline processes, and provide optimal patient care.
“etherFAX’s recognition as the only two-time highest validated vendor in KLAS’ Digital Fax Report reaffirms our dedication to innovation, excellence, and client satisfaction,” said Paul Banco, CEO and co-founder of etherFAX. “We are not only bridging the gap between traditional faxing and modern workflows, but also revolutionizing how organizations perceive and leverage secure document exchange as a strategic asset. The fax market will continue to grow as more and more organizations move from paper processes to digital solutions.”
As part of its Digital Fax Report, KLAS Research created a framework to help explain the current state of digital faxing. In order to reach the highest validation, which is a Level 4, vendors had to demonstrate how they extract clinical data that can then be inserted into other healthcare workflows (e.g., administrative, clinical, financial). Based on KLAS’ scoring, etherFAX reached a Level 4 for its EHR integration, automated document routing, discrete patient and document identification, and discrete clinical data. etherFAX is the only vendor to have achieved the highest level of validation in both KLAS’ 2019 and 2023 Digital Fax Reports. This recognition underscores etherFAX’s commitment to delivering innovative functionality that addresses the evolving needs of healthcare organizations.
As the digital fax market continues to evolve, etherFAX remains steadfast in its mission to provide an off-ramp from fax, and an on-ramp to interoperability.

Leonard Kincaid, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Houston Recovery Center, believes that “change begins at the heart”. He shares that “HRC began as a jail diversion program for public intoxication delivering sobering services. Frequently returning clients led us to design and deliver long-term, client-driven substance use recovery programming. Now we have become a Community HUB that addresses problematic substance use. Our approach is based on a Recovery Management framework that identifies the problem, engages the person, stabilizes their substance use, and supports long-term social reintegration. This approach capitalizes on our staff’s lived experience and our agency culture of compassion, dignity, and respect. It also integrates whole-person care while addressing a broad range of social services. We have grown to serve men and women from all walks of life, all demographics, multiple cultures, professional careers and ages—from younger, college-aged students to adults who are older.” Houston Recovery Center has released its Ten-Year Impact Report, which can be found on its website at www.Houstonrecoverycenter.org.

About Houston Recovery Center
Houston Recovery Center (HRC) was launched in 2013 in Houston, Texas, to develop and operate a law enforcement diversion program. The Sobering Center delivers this program by receiving and monitoring intoxicated people as they safely sober up. The recovery process can include a series of treatment, healthcare, housing, and social services offered by independent specialty providers. These providers often operate in silos, so their services are not linked nor delivered as a continuum of care. Houston Recovery Center’s frequent clients, many with complex profiles, lack the resource capacity and behavioral capability to navigate and enroll in a series of independent services on their own. In response, HRC designed Partners in Recovery, a recovery care management program pairing six months of case management with 18 months of peer support. HRC’s “recovery team” creates a recovery plan based on client-defined goals. Services are linked together in a continuum using transportation and “warm handoffs” to deliver a system of care. The overarching goal is to improve successful access to appropriate care resulting in increased rates of sustained stabilization and a better quality of life.

Twenty-two of the communities are located in Illinois and three are in Ohio. Together, the 25 communities house nearly 1,375 apartments.
“We are honored that ownership decided to transition management of these existing communities to Gardant,” says Simpkins. “Our mission is to lead the way in senior living through innovative and inclusive approaches that bring value to stakeholders and vitality to all residents and employees.”
In recent years, Gardant-managed communities have been recognized as being among the best in the nation by U.S. News and World Report. The American Health Care Association/National Center for Assisted Living has recognized Gardant-managed communities for their commitment to quality. Gardant-managed communities have received Great Place to Work designations.
The company ranks as one of the ten largest assisted providers in the country and the largest provider of affordable assisted living.
With the addition of the 25 communities to the Gardant portfolio, the company now manages more than 80 senior living, assisted living and memory care communities, housing nearly 7,200 apartments. The communities are located in Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, and West Virginia.
The communities in Illinois and Indiana are located throughout both states. Many of the communities are designed to primarily or exclusively serve low-income individuals and are fully approved as Medicaid-waiver assisted living providers.
The communities in Ohio are located in Grove City, Lancaster, and Washington Court House.
“Our commitment is to enrich the lives of the residents we serve and to provide them with the Love, Compassion, and Dignity they deserve,” says Echols.

Recognition of intensive therapeutic lifestyle treatment’s potential to achieve remission, or even full reversal, in many lifestyle-related chronic diseases has grown as the United States struggles with a crisis of chronic disease. Six in 10 adults have at least one chronic disease and four in 10 have at least two.
“Given the enormous need for intensive lifestyle change treatment in the U.S., it is important to clearly define the competencies that reflect the level of expertise required of physicians to provide effective, evidence-based intensive lifestyle change treatment,” said John Kelly, MD, MPH, DipABLM, FACLM, the study’s first author and ACLM’s founder. “These competencies can help guide the education, practice, clinical training and, ideally, certification for lifestyle medicine intensivists who specialize in this care.”
The competencies were developed by an expert panel with experience practicing intensive lifestyle change, building from competencies ACLM first published in 2020 when lifestyle medicine intensivists were known as “specialists.” The expert panel revised the original 34 competencies identified in 2020 and achieved a consensus on a final set of 45 competencies.
Since certification by the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine (ABLM) began in 2017, almost 2,500 U.S. physicians have become certified in lifestyle medicine as diplomates (DipABLMs). Nearly another 1,000 non-physician health professionals are certified by ACLM (DipACLMs). Being a relatively new level of lifestyle medicine certification, the number of lifestyle medicine intensivists is small but growing.
Interest in lifestyle medicine is also growing. Student-led Lifestyle Medicine Interest Groups exist at 132 U.S. campuses and there are 272 lifestyle residency programs that incorporate lifestyle medicine into curricula. ACLM’s Health Systems Council, which supports the implementation of lifestyle medicine into health systems, has 96 member organizations.
ABOUT ACLM
The American College of Lifestyle Medicine is the nation’s medical professional society advancing lifestyle medicine as the foundation for a redesigned, value-based and equitable healthcare delivery system, leading to whole-person health. ACLM educates, equips, empowers and supports its members through quality, evidence-based education, certification and research to identify and eradicate the root cause of chronic disease, with a clinical outcome goal of health restoration as opposed to disease management.
