Leave a comment


“With its all-new design and feature set, the R620 GNSS receiver is Hemisphere’s offering to what the market desires ― smaller machine, lower cost, and less power,” said Miles Ware, Director of Marketing at Hemisphere


MIAMI (PRWEB)

Today, at the INTERGEO expo and conference in Stuttgart, Germany and the ION GNSS+ conference in Miami, FL, USA, Hemisphere GNSS introduces the next-generation R620 GNSS receiver, a compact, versatile, and full-featured positioning system. The wide range of functionality and ease-of-use built into the R620 makes it an ideal fit for a variety of land and marine applications requiring high-precision positioning.

The R620 GNSS receiver is a complete refresh of the previous version (R330) and includes an all-new low-profile ruggedized enclosure. With the flexibility and scalability offered within the R620 system, customers can start with sub-meter positioning accuracy and upgrade the receiver (through activations and subscriptions) to add functionality and improve performance capability to centimeter-level accuracy.

Powered by the all-new Vega™ series, the R620 GNSS receiver processes and supports over 1,100 channels and offers flexible and scalable simultaneous tracking of every modern and planned GNSS constellation and signal including GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou (including Phase 3), Galileo, QZSS, IRNSS, SBAS, and Atlas® L-band. The Vega series is powered by Hemisphere’s recently announced next-generation Lyra™ II digital ASIC, Aquila™ wideband RF ASIC, and Cygnus™ interference mitigation technology.

The R620 combines Hemisphere’s Athena™ GNSS engine and Atlas L-band correction technologies with status LEDs and a powerful WebUI. These features make the R620 easy to monitor, configure, and offer an unparalleled level of customer-friendly performance.

The R620 comes equipped with UHF (400 MHz and 900 MHz) radio, cellular modem, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi, making wireless communications and connectivity easy to use. Ethernet (including Power over Ethernet), CAN, Serial, and USB also elevate the system’s capabilities.

“With its all-new design and feature set, the R620 GNSS receiver is Hemisphere’s offering to what the market desires ― smaller machine, lower cost, and less power,” said Miles Ware, director of marketing at Hemisphere, “the receiver boasts a feature- and performance-packed combination of greater performance, improved robustness, and excellent value.”

With Athena GNSS engine, the R620 provides best-in-class, centimeter-level RTK. Athena excels in virtually every environment where high-accuracy GNSS receivers can be used. Tested and proven, Athena’s performance with long baselines, in open-sky environments, under heavy canopy, and in geographic locations experiencing significant scintillation is nothing short of cutting-edge.

The R620 GNSS receiver is featured by Hemisphere at INTERGEO in Stuttgart, Germany from September 17 through 19, 2019 (hall 3, booth C3.030) and at ION GNSS+ in Miami, FL, USA from September 18 through 19, 2019 (booth 411).

First Holocaust Survivor Climbs Kilimanjaro at Age 83

When things became arduous, Shaffir heard his father’s words, ‘Never give up.’


MOSHI, Tanzania (PRWEB)

On August 24, 2019, Nat Shaffir was on top of the world.

He had reached to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest peak in Africa. His body was physically exhausted, but his spirit was overjoyed.

“I was in seventh heaven,” Shaffir recalled.

This was not the first struggle that he has had to overcome.

Shaffir is a Holocaust Survivor – the first to successfully climb Kilimanjaro.

HIS EARLY YEARS    

In 1942, when Shaffir was just five years old, a priest showed up at his family’s dairy farm in Romania. The priest knew the family well. He visited weekly for donations. But this time, he was accompanied by a police officer and two soldiers.

“These are Jews,” the priest said to the officer.

The military confiscated the farm and cattle. The family was forced to relocate to the Jewish ghetto in Iasi. There, Shaffir lived in poverty in a crowded room with his two sisters and parents. His parents were given manual labor jobs while he and his sisters were forbidden to attend school.

His father was later taken away to a distant labor camp, leaving young Shaffir to care for the rest of the family. Before he left, his father told him that things would get harder.

“Never give up,” his father said.

Those three words have kept Shaffir going for his entire life.

CLIMBING KILIMANJARO

Mount Kilimanjaro stands 19,340 feet above sea level. Climbing the peak does not require any technical skills or special equipment. But it is a formidable test due to its extreme altitude. Reaching the top takes physical fitness and determination.

Shaffir kept a slow but steady pace on the mountain. He encountered adversity on some parts of the terrain. He also struggled to eat on nearly the entire hike due to a loss of appetite, one of the common symptoms of altitude sickness.

“Climbing Kilimanjaro at my age was tough,” Shaffir admitted.

But when things became arduous, he heard his father’s words, “Never give up.”

He knew that he would make it to the summit.

“Nat had great endurance and determination,” said lead guide Raymond Mandari of Ultimate Kilimanjaro. “Climbing Kilimanjaro is a big accomplishment for anyone, but for an 83-year old, it is remarkable.”

INSPIRING OTHERS

Shaffir climbed Kilimanjaro to inspire others to challenge themselves to do the same, to conquer their own metaphorical mountains.

He has a message for those that find themselves in troubling times. “To people who are experiencing hardship, difficulties, atrocities, and hate – never give up.”

Russian soldiers liberated Iasi in 1945. By then, 32 members of Shaffir’s family had died in Nazi concentration camps.

Shaffir moved to the United States in 1961. He and his wife have five children and 12 grandchildren – all of them named after family members lost during the Holocaust.

Henry Ford e-Home Care Reduces Hospital Readmissions Utilizing Telehealth from HRS

Leave a comment


Utilizing technology to care for our patients is the future of healthcare. Technology provides access to patients in more ways that are convenient for them.


DETROIT (PRWEB)

Henry Ford e-Home Care has announced a significant reduction in hospital readmissions for patients receiving telehealth care via Henry Ford’s e-Home Care program. Achieving monthly readmission rates as low as 7%, Henry Ford e-Home Care has reduced their average hospital readmission rate for the first six months of 2019 by 45% compared with the prior six months of 2018. Utilizing software from Health Recovery Solutions (HRS), Henry Ford e-Home Care provides remote patient monitoring and telehealth services to more than 130 patients each month.

Henry Ford e-Home Care partnered with HRS in 2017 to capitalize on the growing role of technology in healthcare and its ability to help improve clinical outcomes and reduce costs to health systems, payors, and patients. Through its e-Home Care program, Henry Ford is able to treat a diverse set of patient populations, including those with chronic CHF, COPD, hypertension, and cancer, as well as patients recovering from cardiothoracic or transplant surgery.

“Utilizing technology to care for our patients is the future of healthcare. Technology provides access to patients in more ways that are convenient for them, efficient for care providers, and offers an extra layer of safety for our patients in their homes,” said Mary Hagen, Manager of Henry Ford e-Home Care. “We see a future in which patients are comfortable with and proficient at utilizing mobile devices to communicate with clinicians, manage their healthcare, and be more knowledgeable about their own health, as well as the health of their loved ones.”

Patients are enrolled in e-Home Care following an initial home health visit. Once enrolled, patients receive a 4G tablet pre-loaded with the HRS software, along with Bluetooth biometric monitoring devices. Via the tablet, patients receive medication reminders, access educational videos and daily disease-specific symptom questions, and record daily vitals utilizing the biometric devices. In addition, patients and clinicians can utilize phone calls and a video conferencing platform on the tablet. All patient data is uploaded in real-time to the clinician’s dashboard and the Health System EMR, allowing a patient’s entire care team to observe the patient’s health status.

Using the clinician dashboard, phone conversations, and virtual visits, Henry Ford’s telehealth nurses address variances in patients’ vitals. Patient data from the telehealth and remote monitoring system enable the telehealth team to observe trends in patient status, adherence, and self-care, to quickly intervene when a patient’s status puts them at risk for readmission.

“Henry Ford’s e-Home Care program demonstrates the importance of communication across the care continuum. Their EMR integration and centralized care model are key drivers of their program’s success and prove their dedication to patient care and innovation. We are excited to continue working with Henry Ford to expand their telehealth program and access to care,” added William Ashton, Client Success Manager at HRS.

In the coming months, Henry Ford e-Home Care will look to expand their program by partnering with insurance agencies to further reduce the cost of care and incorporate more patients into their comprehensive care continuum.

About Henry Ford e-Home Care

A part of Henry Ford at Home, Henry Ford e-Home Care provides technology in patients’ homes to keep them safe, prevent unnecessary hospitalizations, and assist caregivers in caring for their loved ones. Partnering with top-rated vendors to offer technology solutions to Detroit and its surrounding communities, it is strategically situated within the Henry Ford Health System to support the System’s population health focus as they transition patients to home. As Henry Ford at Home’s technology division, e-Home Care educates and advocates for patients and their families while utilizing the features of innovative technology to prevent exacerbations of chronic diseases which often lead to ED visits and possible rehospitalizations.

Six Top Tips For Getting Cheaper Auto Insurance Premiums

Leave a comment


News Image

“Many drivers want to pay less on car insurance. For that, they can follow several smart money-saving tips”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has launched a new blog post that presents several ways that will help drivers save money on their car insurance rates.

For more info and free quotes, visit https://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/6-top-ways-that-will-help-you-pay-less-on-your-car-insurance/

Although expensive for some drivers, car insurance is a necessity for many. The penalties for driving without insurance can be severe and will reflect in the future policy premiums for many years after an uninsured driver gets caught.

In order to pay less on their car insurance, drivers can follow these tips:


  • Bundle multiple policies. Drivers can try to insure all vehicles from the household with the same insurance company in order to get a large discount. Moreover, drivers can try to insure the home with the same insurance company. Multi-policies and multi-car discounts can help policyholders save lots of money.

  • Check different discounts. Policyholders can check with their insurance agent if they are eligible for any discounts. Insurance companies are notorious for offering a great variety of discounts. The most popular discounts are the homeowner discount, good student discount, getting married discount, and other various discounts that can appear in certain situations.

  • Keep a clean driving record. Insurance companies will reward drivers that keep a clean driving record with discounts that ranges from 10% to 20%. In order to qualify for this discount, drivers need to maintain their driving record clean for a number of years, usually three to five years, depending on each insurance company.

  • Consider usage-based insurance programs. Some insurers offer usage-based programs. Drivers that enroll in a usage-based program, will have to allow the insurer to install a small telematic device in their vehicles. This device will monitor the policyholder’s driving habits. If the monitoring results are good, policyholders are eligible for better policies.

  • Consider raising deductibles. Policyholders that have full coverage can lower their insurance premium by agreeing to pay a larger deductible.

  • Check multiple online quotes. This is the best way for drivers to save money. Insurance companies don’t offer the same insurance rates, and the best way to find the best insurance is by comparing multiple online quotes.

Veego Gives Eyes to ISPs, Enabling Automatic Detection and Repair of Smart Home Problems

Leave a comment


Veego Logo

Veego.io


TEL AVIV, Israel (PRWEB)

Veego, an Israel-based startup bringing artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies to perfect the customer experience in the smart home, today announced a breakthrough capability that continuously monitors the behavior of devices and services, and autonomously detects, analyzes and resolves malfunctions as they occur.

Although the smart home market is growing rapidly, it is in disarray. Unlike any other market, home users independently buy and install countless types of smart devices and consume a wide variety of services, mainly through their internet routers. Today, the typical home contains a dozen smart devices. According to IDC Worldwide Quarterly Smart Home Device Tracker, in only three years, that number is expected to double.

Hundreds of millions of smart-home users already expect unhindered 24/7 access to the internet for myriad services that include movie and television streaming, interactive gaming and web browsing from tablets and smartphones. Whenever any smart device—thermostat, speaker, security camera, etc.—or service ceases to function properly, users tend to hold their ISPs responsible and turn to them for support.

According to a study by Parks Associates titled 360 View: Supporting the Connected Consumer, “Unresolved technical problems with smart home devices have risen 240% in 3 Years. 79% of consumers have self-installed a smart home device, and most do not turn to integrators for assistance when there is a technical problem.”

Though blind as to what devices are present in the home and what services they are consuming, ISPs are tasked with supporting millions of home users. Because smart-home malfunctions can be the result of complex factors within and even outside the home domain— in the service cloud, for example—ISPs are unable to address many types of anomalies. Often, when customers report problems to the ISP support center, technical support staff have no way of seeing them, let alone reproducing, analyzing and resolving them.

“Technical support costs the ISPs a fortune in human resources, wasted time, unnecessary truck rolls and unwarranted hardware replacements,” stated Veego CEO, Amir Kotler. “Smart-home customers become quite frustrated with the time, effort and mistakes involved in support calls. The customer experience degrades, leading to churn and damage to the ISP’s reputation.”

Veego perfects the customer experience while reducing the time and expense involved in supporting smart homes.

The router-resident Veego Agent enables ISPs to “see” what devices are present in the home and what services they are consuming at any moment. The Agent automatically detects behavior aberrations and actual problems—often before the user experiences them. The Veego Cloud hosts a giant and growing Malfunction Knowledgebase that automatically analyzes and pinpoints the root cause of problems—within and beyond the smart home. It enables the Agent to resolve many problems on the spot or it supplies the ISP support center with all the information and analysis necessary to drastically shorten support calls and resolve problems promptly and accurately, eliminating wasteful truck rolls and hardware replacements.

“We are on a mission to establish order in the smart-home market for ISPs and their customers,” declared Kotler. “By applying the power of AI and other advanced technologies to this untamed market, we are able to assure a vastly improved smart-home experience for millions of people along with drastic cost reductions for the ISPs who support them.”

Anelto Health has announced its “Partnership for Better Outcomes” by releasing its new “No-Risk RPM Platform” for Remote Patient Monitoring

Leave a comment


“We have removed all the barriers associated with organizations that are unfamiliar with buying or leasing equipment”, said David Fronk, SVP of Business Development and Sales at Anelto Health


THE COLONY, Texas (PRWEB)

Anelto Health, has launched its new “No-Risk RPM Platform for Remote Patient Monitoring. The platform can integrate with software systems for Chronic Care Management, CCM, Care Management, CM, or Transitional Care Management, TCM. In conjunction with TCM, CCM or Care Management, the 2-way dynamic voice hub pairs with vital sign monitors and activity trackers to improve the health of the senior and to prevent unnecessary ER visits and hospitalizations. It has built in alerts and dynamic, intuitive patient reactive questionnaires and ability to integrate with a 24/7 clinical call center. Anelto’s No-Risk RPM Platform eliminates the risk associated with owning and deploying hardware-based systems.

“We have removed all the barriers associated with organizations that are unfamiliar with buying or leasing equipment”, said David Fronk, SVP of Business Development and Sales at Anelto Health. “Hospitals and companies that want to implement an RPM solution for better care and outcomes for their patients can now move forward with confidence. If they can’t bill for the equipment, by using the existing CPT 99454 for RPM, there is no monthly equipment charge from Anelto. Anelto Health is determined to make sure our equipment does what it was designed to do, and that is to improve communication with the patient, engage them in their health and get them to take their vital signs daily so the data and the analytics can help improve the patient’s life by improving their chronic diseases.”

RPM is a new efficient way of caring for seniors outside of their doctor’s office that can reduce the cost associated with caring for this subset of the population while dramatically improving clinical outcomes and their quality of life. This allows them to “age in place”, which over 80% of seniors prefer. We believe with CPT code 99454, that the economic benefits for CCM companies or hospitals make this a win-win for the patient and those providing services to the patient.

Additional benefits of Anelto Health’s Remote Patient Monitoring System include:


  • Easy to set up and use.

  • Always on with a 3-day emergency battery pack for times when power is out.

  • Comes with a friends and family app to keep up with your loved one. Know how they are doing on their chronic disease care, activity and allows for communication and encouragement.

  • Fun activities and communications to keep the senior engaged and help with depression from loneliness

  • Programmable call functionality to allow a 24/7 call center integration or their doctor or his/her care team to call into the hub relieving the stress of answering the phone of an unknown caller.


To make an appointment for a meeting at the upcoming HIMSS Health 2.0 Conference in Santa Clara, CA on 9/16 – 9/18/2019 or to know more about Anelto Health, it’s Remote Patient Monitoring Platform, request a white paper or clinical paper: Visit its website at https://www.aneltohealth.com and also view the patient interactive video on Anelto Health’s unique platform.
