“This win further strengthens our commitment to design for higher education and healthcare industries.” says Edina Tanovic. “We really enjoy supporting and collaborating with our neighboring University in Berkeley. The win in healthcare also celebrates our dedication to help those who help others.”

BERKELEY, Calif. (PRWEB)
May 30, 2023

For its 2023’s first competitive season, Project6 lands three Silver awards in the website design competition. Two of the three works that delivered them this decisive victory were created by Edina Tanović, Project6 co-founder and Creative Director. “This win further strengthens our commitment to design for higher education and healthcare industries,” says Edina. “We really enjoy supporting and collaborating with our neighboring University in Berkeley. The win in healthcare also celebrates our dedication to help those who help others.” The MUSE Awards is composed of a series of competitions which are organized to honor excellence from various fields. IAA ensures that these competitions are accessible and fair, in order to guarantee recognition only goes to those who truly deserve the accolade.

Website Design for Colleges and Universities

The first award was for the redesign of Berkeley’s College of Environmental Design. The project included: creating a unified brand identity for the college, its departments, and select programs and institutes, creating easy-to-use print collateral templates with the new identity, and Re-envision and rebuild the main CED website, consolidating content from over 15 auxiliary websites.

Award-wining Website Design for Healthcare

The second award was for the Hill Physicians Medical Group website redesign. The redesign focused on simplifying the user experience, updating the design to better connect with the target audience, and to implement a content management system to enable frequent content updates.

Award-winning UI/UX Design for the Design/Build Construction Industry

The final silver award went to Granite Construction. Granite is one of the largest diversified construction and construction materials companies in the United States as well as a full-suite provider in the transportation, water infrastructure and mineral exploration markets. The website reflects their brand image, and includes interactive infographics showcasing their inclusive diversity data. “Adding a bit of interactivity really engages the user and is a great way to showcase Granite’s inclusivity figures.” – Esten Sesto, Project6 Design President and UI/UX Director.

“The industries have gone through significant changes through the years, yet to have these entrants showcase their ability to adapt and overcome, it is certainly surprising and encouraging to our team in IAA,” Thomas Brandt, spokesperson of IAA elaborated. He continued, “it is humbling to see the level of craft displayed in the submitted works. Our most sincere commendations go out to those behind said works and for setting such a high standard for excellence for all to follow.”

Having a jury composed of industry professionals, IAA was successful in upholding impartiality and enforcing industry-relevant assessment criteria. The jury’s role was solely to identify companies or individuals whose works showcased excellence and pushed their respective industries forward, which they had successfully accomplished.

Other than employing industry-relevant standards in judging entries, impartiality was also enforced with the blind judging method. This meant that entries were evaluated by multiple judges without being compared with other submissions, meaning that each winning work had decisively won with their own merits.

“While the winners continue to reshape and redefine the industries with their continued display of excellence, we should not shy away from the challenge and instead share the vision in solidarity with them,” Thomas said. “IAA remains proud to be able to honor talented individuals while spotlighting their excellence. As they continue to mark the path forward, we should also unleash our boundless possibilities and join in this marvelous endeavor.”

Mytonomy Cloud for Student Health Screenshot

By leveraging the power of content streaming coupled with modern, intelligent engagement, we empower students to take control of their health and set a strong foundation for lifelong well-being – Anjali Kataria, CEO and Co-founder

BETHESDA, Md. (PRWEB)
May 30, 2023

Mytonomy, Inc., a leading enterprise SaaS solution for video-based patient education and engagement, announced today the expansion of Mytonomy Cloud for Healthcare to support student health at college and university campuses across the country at the American College Health Association (ACHA) Annual Meeting 2023. Mytonomy’s content streaming platform is designed to deliver comprehensive health related information tailored to the needs of undergraduate, graduate and professional students in fresh and modern ways.

For the first time, campuses will gain access to the same award-winning, clinically validated healthcare education and engagement capabilities that Mytonomy already provides to America’s top hospitals and healthcare systems.

Mytonomy Cloud for Student Health will address the most frequently asked healthcare questions students have and offer guidance on how to best utilize student health programs at their campus, saving time and delivering a positive experience. The platform provides easily accessible information on a wide range of chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, mental health concerns, STIs, and drug and alcohol safety, in addition to health management and wellness resources. Additionally, Mytonomy’s student health offering will support student athletes, providing guidance on various conditions including preparing for your annual physical, understanding results, managing concussions, falls, sprains and common orthopedic procedures.

“Mytonomy’s expansion to student health is designed to address the evolving needs of university students with a whole-person whole health approach,” said Anjali Kataria, CEO and Co-founder at Mytonomy. “By leveraging the power of content streaming coupled with modern, intelligent engagement, we empower students to take control of their health and set a strong foundation for lifelong well-being. Parents may be reassured that their children have access to medically validated information and support that is already used by top U.S. hospitals and healthcare systems, while campus health teams can save time and continue to focus on providing excellent care.”

Mytonomy Cloud for Student Health leverages the company’s expertise in remote patient engagement and microlearning video content to empower students in actively managing their health and well-being. The platform will accommodate today’s students, many of whom prefer short, engaging video content over written materials. It is user-friendly and accessible on any device, allowing students to understand their medical journey, improve adherence to treatment plans, enhance communication with healthcare teams, and access resources from any location.

Recognizing the unique challenges faced by students with acute and/or chronic conditions, Mytonomy Cloud for Student Health provides a customizable content library geared to addressing the top student health needs, as well as programming on how to best access and use student health services. With this powerful tool, students can better manage their healthcare independently, irrespective of their primary care doctor’s location, and support the student health resources that campuses work so hard to offer.

One of the key features of Mytonomy Cloud for Student Health is its integration with Electronic Health Records (EHRs), allowing seamless sharing of vital health information with students. This integration ensures that students have access to their medical history, empowering them to make informed decisions about their health and healthcare.

“Today’s students may not always know the relevant healthcare questions to ask or know how to utilize services a university provides. However, with Mytonomy Cloud for Student Health universities can foster student success by equipping them with the tools they need to navigate their health independently,” added Sue Wasiolek, VP of Student Health Programs at Mytonomy and former dean of Duke University. “With four decades of experience in higher education, having seen campus challenges up close, I am confident that this platform will help bridge the gap between healthcare and education, promoting a holistic approach to student wellness.”

Mytonomy is exhibiting and demoing the Mytonomy Cloud for Healthcare solution at the ACHA Annual Meeting in Boston May 30 – June 3 – Booth 433.

Prevent Blindness declares June as Cataract Awareness Month to educate the public on the world’s leading cause of blindness.

“Unlike many of the other major eye diseases, such as glaucoma or diabetes-related eye disease, cataracts can be easily and painlessly treated by surgery to remove and replace the eye’s lens, restoring sight for most patients,” said Jeff Todd, Prevent Blindness president and CEO.

CHICAGO (PRWEB)
May 30, 2023

Cataract is the leading cause of blindness worldwide, according to The International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness. More than half of all Americans will have cataract by the time they are 80 years old. Prevent Blindness, the nation’s leading nonprofit eye health and safety organization, has once again declared June as Cataract Awareness Month in an effort to provide patients, care partners and professionals with information on topics related to types of cataract, risk factors, symptoms, cataract surgery and available financial assistance resources. The group offers a dedicated web resource at PreventBlindness.org/cataract, and free materials in English and Spanish, such as fact sheets and social media graphics.

Prevent Blindness also offers the “Understanding Cataract” episode of its “Focus on Eye Health Expert Series.” Prevent Blindness president and CEO Jeff Todd discusses cataract and cataract surgery with Albert Cheung, MD, Cataract, Cornea, Anterior Segment Specialist with Virginia Eye Consultants and Assistant Professor at Eastern Virginia Medical School, Department of Ophthalmology.

Cataract is a clouding of the eye’s lens that blocks or changes the passage of light into the eye, according to the National Eye Institute.

Although there may be no early symptoms, patients may begin to notice:

•     cloudy or blurry vision
•     colors that look faded
•     difficulty seeing at night
•     lamps, sunlight or headlights appearing too bright
•     a halo around lights
•     seeing double (this sometimes goes away as the cataract gets bigger)
•     frequent changes to the prescription of eyeglasses or contact lenses

Cataract surgery is one of the most common operations in the United States. An average of 4 million cataract surgeries are performed in this country every year, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO). For patients looking for more information, Prevent Blindness offers the dedicated webpage, PreventBlindness.org/cataract-surgery, and the printable “Guide to Cataract Surgery” fact sheet.

If surgery is recommended, the eye surgeon may remove the lens with the cataract and replace it with an intraocular lens (IOL). The eye surgeon implants the IOL in about the same place as the natural lens, so that it results in the most natural vision.

Types of IOLs include:

•     Monofocal IOL: This IOL is most commonly used. It is usually used to correct for distance vision. Using this IOL option means that patients will likely still use glasses for close vision.
•     Multifocal IOL: These IOLs provide both distance and near correction at the same time.
•     Accommodative IOL: These lenses move or change shape inside the eye, allowing correct vision at different distances.
•     Toric IOL: This lens is used for those with astigmatism.

“Unlike many of the other major eye diseases, such as glaucoma or diabetes-related eye disease, cataracts can be easily and painlessly treated by surgery to remove and replace the eye’s lens, restoring sight for most patients,” said Mr. Todd. “We urge patients to work with their eye doctor to understand their diagnosis and the best available treatment options.”

For free information on cataract or cataract surgery, please visit PreventBlindness.org/cataract. For a listing of vision care financial assistance programs in English or Spanish, visit PreventBlindness.org/vision-care-financial-assistance-information/.

About Prevent Blindness

Founded in 1908, Prevent Blindness is the nation’s leading volunteer eye health and safety organization dedicated to fighting blindness and saving sight. Focused on promoting a continuum of vision care, Prevent Blindness touches the lives of millions of people each year through public and professional education, advocacy, certified vision screening and training, community and patient service programs and research. These services are made possible through the generous support of the American public. Together with a network of affiliates, Prevent Blindness is committed to eliminating preventable blindness in America.

With the recent pandemic and the shift to a decentralized trial approach, trial participants are looking to test from home; however, without coaching and with standard overread timelines, there is a great risk of unusable data, retests and missed timepoints.

TORONTO (PRWEB)
May 30, 2023

For decades, respiratory trials relied almost exclusively on large, site-based spirometer units and required protracted timelines for data analysis and overread. Achieving repeatable, high-quality forced spirometry maneuvers was challenging and required in-person coaching to ensure that maximal effort was achieved.

With the recent pandemic and the shift to a decentralized trial approach, trial participants are looking to test from home; however, without coaching and with standard overread timelines, there is a great risk of unusable data, retests and missed timepoints. In this webinar, Dr. Marko Topalović, co-founder of ArtiQ, will discuss new artificial intelligence approaches to spirometry data overread that enable instant feedback and make at-home, just as in-clinic, testing more robust and cost-effective. Clario’s Kevin McCarthy and Dr. Phil Lake will address new options for at-home spirometry that bring the clinician into the participant’s home, virtually, and the impact that has on data quality.

Respiratory endpoints have moved beyond standard spirometry metrics and sponsors now have more flexibility in demonstrating drug efficacy, and in ways that are more repeatable and less taxing on the trial participant. Dr. Adrian Marinovich of Strados Labs will discuss remote lung sound monitoring, the respiratory endpoints it provides, and how it fits into respiratory trials. Lastly, Dr. Kai-Michael Beeh of Clario will discuss additional respiratory endpoints that provide low-strain alternatives to forced spirometry as well as complementary endpoints that provide additional insight into lung health.

Join a cross-industry panel of experts as they examine new and upcoming developments in respiratory trials.

Attendees are encouraged to sign up early to get their question in the queue for the panel!

Join Kevin McCarthy, RPFT, Director, Respiratory Science, Clario; Kai-Michael Beeh, MD, Founder and Medical Director, insaf Respiratory Research Institute; Phil Lake, PhD, Senior Director, Respiratory Solutions, Clario; Marko Topalović, PhD, CEO & Co-Founder, ArtiQ; and Adrian Marinovich, MD, MPH, Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Strados Labs, for the live webinar on Friday, June 16, 2023, at 11am EDT (4pm BST/UK).

Manual cell counting is time-consuming, subjective due to reliance on human interpretation and requires a high degree of skill.

TORONTO (PRWEB)
May 30, 2023

Accurate and timely cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cell counts are critical in the diagnosis of meningitis, malignancy, demyelinating disease and hemorrhage. Due to historical limitations with the linearity of automated analyzers, CSF cell counts have traditionally been performed manually with a hemocytometer and the aid of a brightfield optical microscope. Manual cell counting is time-consuming, subjective due to reliance on human interpretation and requires a high degree of skill. This poses significant challenges for clinical laboratories of all sizes facing unprecedented staffing shortages. It also poses challenges for physicians who rely on timely results to provide appropriate patient management.

In this webinar, the featured speakers will discuss the importance of accurate and timely CSF cell counts and the positive impact of implementing a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared advancement in CSF cell counting technology through case studies from three hospitals in the US, including MercyOne, Des Moines Medical Center.

Register for this webinar to develop a comprehensive understanding of the criticality of accurate and timely CSF cell counts and an automated solution designed to:

(1) free up tech time & improve result turnaround times,

(2) increase lab staff satisfaction & decrease stress levels, and

(3) eliminate errors associated with manual CSF cell counts & improve result accuracy.

Join the featured speakers from Advanced Instruments, LLC., Julie MacKenzie, MBA, Director, Clinical & Artel Product Portfolios; and Brandon Haller, Clinical Applications Scientist, as well as our special guest Andrea Haynes, MLS (ASCP)CM Laboratory Director, Hospital Services at MercyOne for the live webinar on Thursday, June 15, 2023, at 1pm EDT (10am PDT).

WOUNDS, the official journal of SAWC Spring and Fall, is indexed in MEDLINE/PubMED.

MALVERN, Pa. (PRWEB)
May 30, 2023

HMP Global’s industry-leading journal WOUNDS today announced that Dr. John C. Lantis II is the new Editor-in-Chief, with Dr. Terry Treadwell transitioning to the role of Editor-in-Chief Emeritus. The journal has also announced that Dr. Vickie R. Driver will be named as a Clinical Editor. The new leadership will guide the journal’s management and strategic planning as the premier peer-reviewed publication features a growing body of practice-changing research in wound care.

The announcement coincided with the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) Spring | Wound Healing Society meeting co-located with the Diabetic Limb Salvage (DLS) conference, held April 26-30 in National Harbor, Maryland. WOUNDS, the official journal of SAWC Spring and Fall, is indexed in MEDLINE/PubMED and publishes research and commentary on tissue repair and regeneration, biology and biochemistry of wound healing, and clinical management of various wound etiologies.

Dr. Lantis is the Site-Chief of Surgery at the Mount Sinai West Hospital and professor of surgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Prior to October 2020, he served as Vice Chairman and professor of surgery at Mount Sinai West and Morningside Hospitals from 2013, and the Chief of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery since 2007. He is the past president of the New York Vascular Society, a founding member of the Vascular Study Group of Greater New York, and the American Board of Wound Medicine and Surgery. Lantis has served on the editorial boards of numerous peer-reviewed journals and to date, has been the principal investigator on more than 70 multi-center and single center chronic wound and vascular surgery trials.

“I look forward to working with the outstanding board and editorial staff at WOUNDS as we provide the latest research on best practices and innovation in the wound care field,” Lantis said. “Our multidisciplinary readership relies on WOUNDS to be well equipped to deal with a myriad of chronic wound conditions affecting their patients, and we work closely with researchers to ensure that significant, original abstracts and articles are published.”

“Dr. Lantis has a heart for research and is known throughout the wound care community and beyond as a leading expert at the forefront of innovation and improving the lives of patients,” Dr. Treadwell said. “We are honored to have a physician of his caliber leading the WOUNDS journal, and he will do great work as Editor-in-Chief.”

Dr. Treadwell first joined the WOUNDS Editorial Advisory Board in 2002 and has been the Editor since January 2007. In his emeritus position, Dr. Treadwell will remain an integral part of the journal and provide guidance to the WOUNDS Editorial Board and to Dr. Lantis in his new role. Treadwell, a graduate of The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, founded The Institute for Advanced Wound Care at Jackson Hospital in Montgomery, Ala. He served as Medical Director of the Institute after it moved to Baptist Medical Center in Montgomery in 2006. He is a member of the World Association of Medical Editors, WHS, and the Association for the Advancement of Wound Care.

Prior to being named Editor-in-Chief, Lantis served as the journal’s Clinical Editor. Joining WOUNDS in this role on the Editorial Board is Dr. Driver, System Wide Medical Director of the Wound Care and Hyperbaric Centers at INOVA Healthcare in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and professor, University of Virginia School of Medicine. Dr. Driver is also Fellow, Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons-Glasgow, PM and Inaugural Fellow, Association for the Advancement of Wound Care (FAAWC).

As Clinical Editor, Dr. Driver will work closely with Dr. Lantis, as well as with Clinical Editor Dr. James McGuire and other Editorial Board members to review abstracts and articles submitted to WOUNDS. Dr. Driver will also advise on the development of additional reporting criteria that will further strengthen the quality and value of studies.

Vanessa Gabler, Assistant Editorial Director of HMP Global’s Wound Care group, said Dr. Treadwell’s leadership as Editor-in-Chief has been vital to the journal’s success over the years and he will continue to be vital in his emeritus role.

“Dr. Treadwell’s knowledge, experience, and passion for wound care has had a significant global impact on the field, and he has continued to build upon a solid foundation for the publication in his years of service,” Gabler said. “We are honored to have him continue to be involved and are looking forward to furthering the strategic goals of WOUNDS with Dr. Lantis.”

These changes to the editorial team and leadership mark the first of many changes to the Wounds publication to be announced in the coming months that will strengthen the publication’s quality, impact, and reach.

WOUNDS is part of HMP Global’s Wound Care Learning Network, which features the publications Wound Management & Prevention, Today’s Wound Clinic, and Podiatry Today, as well as WoundCon and SAWC Spring and Fall meetings. For more information, visit hmpgloballearningnetwork.com/site/wounds.
