AI-powered TokenMe Redefines Large-Scale Construction at Denmark’s New Odense University Hospital

Leave a comment


Aroldo Tegon, project manager of the New Odense University Hospital construction project, explained, “Both CMB and Itinera, the construction firms leading the Odense Hospital Project Team, invested in TokenMe and other technologies because we recognize their value. TokenMe’s real-time data helps mitigate risks, monitor environmental factors, and is assisting in the decision-making process.”

“Massive construction sites come with additional risks due to scale,” added Brian Taammoli, the Odense Hospital Project Team’s risk manager. “With TokenMe’s smart construction monitoring, we’re now able to track 1,000 workers spread out over 22 kilometers of corridors. The system was implemented in early 2023 and the workers are comfortable with it, as they are educated about its GDPR compliance and functionalities.”

How TokenMe Works

TokenMe uses wireless tag and sensor technologies to monitor “boots on the ground” and improve safety at construction sites using UWB, LoRa, WiFi and BLE technologies. Construction workers wear smart badges or helmet tags (tokens) that transmit anonymous data to battery-powered mobile anchors mounted at strategic locations across the site. The anchors send the information — worker presence, motion, temperature, humidity, loud sound, air quality, and light intensity — to the TokenMe database (cloud or on-premise), where data is processed using AI and rules to provide meaningful real-time insights and predictions on construction workflow and building conditions.

The TokenMe dashboard visualizes data as graphs, lists, and maps, giving an overview of task execution, location of materials and equipment, real-time presence of personnel, and progress tracking and predictions. Falls are one of the highest risks leading to fatal accidents. TokenMe uses a fall-detect and a “request for help” button to generate warnings and critical alarms. The easy-to-install solution substantially improves safety, reduces delays, and reduces project costs.

TokenMe’s monthly subscription model enables quick adoption with low capital investment.

“The construction industry runs on tight schedules, but most project management tools fail to provide real-time visibility and consistent progress reports on subcontractor activity,” said Hans van Leeuwen, CEO and founder of TokenMe. “Instead of weekly or monthly timesheet reports, TokenMe provides a real-time count and location of workers and enables proactive and predictive planning of thousands of people and assets. We are extremely proud to be a CES 2023 Innovation Award honoree and look forward to presenting the next-generation AI-driven TokenMe to industry leaders at our CES booth.”

TokenMe saves valuable time and money on large-scale construction projects.

Interested media, construction partners and investors are invited to contact Leo Elenbaas in Europe at [email protected] or Josh Petras in the US at [email protected] to set up a meeting in Las Vegas at CES 2024, January 9–12, 2024. Access the press kit here.

About TokenMe

Founded in 2020, TokenMe is a cutting-edge system-as-a-service company on a mission to transform the construction industry by harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and advanced wireless technology to increase safety, efficiency, productivity and sustainability. TokenMe is a privately held company based in the Netherlands, with manufacturing in Singapore and a sales team across the US, Europe and Japan.

MagMutual Partners with UpToDate to Offer Malpractice Risk Reduction Strategies at the Point of Care

Leave a comment


“Advice is a core component of our offerings to insureds, and with the integration of our risk strategies with UpToDate, we’re redefining how we deliver invaluable risk information to physicians,” said William S. Kanich, M.D., J.D., executive chairperson of MagMutual. “Instead of hindsight, they’ll gain the foresight needed to improve their practice of medicine, which benefits both the policyholder and their patients.”

The company’s malpractice risk reduction group, The Institute at MagMutual®, has analyzed decades of claims data and, in collaboration with The Institute’s medical faculty, developed strategies that physicians can use to improve their patient care and avoid claims. The information provided on demand in UpToDate is based on those efforts and is available only to the company’s policyholders, who receive free access to UpToDate from MagMutual.

“We know the effectiveness of advice is maximized when it’s actionable, relevant and delivered at the time of care,” said Mark Poling, MagMutual’s chief customer officer. “MagMutual is combining technology innovation, data and analytics with a highly regarded physician-centric channel to offer information to our providers when it will be most useful, changing the practice environment and patient outcomes for the better.”

UpToDate recently published a post on their online publication platform Expert Insights, further detailing the benefits of this powerful new initiative and the difference it will make for MagMutual policyholders.

About MagMutual
For more than four decades, MagMutual has been a leading provider of medical professional liability insurance. Today, we’re the largest mutual insurer of physicians and the second largest mutual medical professional liability carrier in the U.S.*, delivering comprehensive coverage to more than 40,000 healthcare providers and organizations nationwide.

Episcopal Relief & Development Announces 2024 Lenten Meditations Authored by Miguel Escobar

Leave a comment


In addition to a reflection from Escobar for each day, there are questions to spur introspective thought on the lectionary readings and one’s faith. This year, Episcopal Relief & Development is also offering a study guide to facilitate conversation in a group setting.

“As we meditate this Lent on Christ’s sacrificial love, may we be drawn closer to God and one another. The church is called to bring healing and reconciliation to the world, work we all can engage in through prayer, reflection and action,” said, Julia Ayala Harris, president of the House of Deputies for The Episcopal Church. “I invite all who are able to participate in Episcopal Relief & Development’s Lenten Meditations. Through prayer and reflection, may we grow in relationship with God and each other, and be inspired to participate in the church’s mission of reconciliation.”

Participants can choose to receive Lenten Meditations as daily emails or download the full booklet online. To engage in this year’s Lenten Meditations, please visit episcopalrelief.org/Lent.

EPISCOPAL RELIEF & DEVELOPMENT SUNDAY

Congregations are also invited to observe Episcopal Relief & Development Sunday on February 18, 2024, or another convenient time during the season. Lent was officially designated at the 2009 General Convention of The Episcopal Church as a time for dioceses, congregations and individuals to remember and support the work of Episcopal Relief & Development. Although the first Sunday in Lent is the official day of observance, churches may hold a special service on any Sunday. Observations of Episcopal Relief & Development Sunday include offering a collection for the organization, holding a special prayer service for the partners and work of the organization, or other creative ways.

“We are so grateful to each worshiper as well as communities and congregations who come together and support our work each year during Lent,” said Betsy Deisroth, Vice President of Advancement at Episcopal Relief & Development. “Through prayers and generous gifts, we’re able to continue our work alongside local faith leaders to improve early childhood development, address gender-based violence, help communities develop climate resilience and respond to disasters around the globe.”

Liturgical resources to help congregations observe Episcopal Relief & Development Sunday are available at episcopalrelief.org/sunday.
