LEUVEN, Belgium and CHICAGO, June 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — icometrix, the world leader to extract clinically meaningful data from brain scans, is proud to have launched the icompanion platform and phone application for people with multiple sclerosis on World MS Day! icompanion is a medical device and is currently available in English, French, German, and Dutch.
To support people with multiple sclerosis, icompanion provides an easy and secure app to track symptoms, treatments, and physician visits. Users can also obtain educational information on the meaning and quality of their brain scans by uploading their MRI scans onto the platform. With this, icompanion provides a solution to log events that occur between neurologist visits, by means of day-to-day symptom-tracking and standardized questionnaires (patient-reported outcomes).
"As a neurologist, you see a patient only a couple of times a year and we know that a lot of valuable information is lost in-between," says Dr. Helmut Butzkeuven, neurologist at the Monash University in Melbourne, and director of MSBase, the largest global multiple sclerosis registry. "To make informed clinical and treatment decisions, it is important to have a complete picture of how a patient is doing," Dr. Butzkeuven continues. "Medical devices such as icompanion can greatly help in democratizing care, since today, patient care depends on where you live and who cares for you," Dr. Butzkeuven concludes.
"icompanion helps me keep track of my symptoms. Even if they seem insignificant, they are crucial in helping me communicate with my physician and prepare my visits. I think it’s great that by using icompanion, my data can also support researchers in their fight against multiple sclerosis. To win this battle we need everyone’s help, and together we are stronger," shares Roberto Paolella, living with MS for 15 years.
"Offering care based on data and objective measures is crucial to move towards more personalized and precise medicine for people with neurological disorders," says Wim Van Hecke, CEO of icometrix. "That is why we founded icometrix and developed the CE-labeled and FDA-cleared icobrain MR and CT brain measures, which are becoming standard of care. Through icompanion, the gap between doctor visits is bridged with clinically meaningful and validated data. The seamless availability of the icompanion data to the health care provider is very important in this context," Wim Van Hecke states.
About icometrix icometrix is the world leader in software solutions to obtain clinically meaningful data from brain MR and CT scans for patients with neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, brain trauma, epilepsy, dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, etc. The fully automated icobrain software from icometrix is FDA cleared and CE labeled and leverages artificial intelligence to quantify disease-specific brain structures.

Industry-leading digital workplace platform introduces new tool to reduce the spread of COVID-19 among frontline employees and their customers
MONTREAL, May 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — WorkJam, the leading digital workplace solutions provider for organizations with frontline employees, today announced the release of its new, next-generation health check analysis tool, enabling employers to reduce the spread of COVID-19 among frontline employees and their customers while complying with local laws and regulations.
As businesses around the world prepare to reopen physical stores, the onus is on employers to ensure reboarded staff feel safe returning to their workplace. Adding another layer of complexity to the situation, companies must comply with local laws and regulations, which vary by country, state, and city. To create this safe and compliant work environment, employers must have the right technology and strategy in place to minimize the risk of exposure to frontline employees and customers.
With WorkJam’s health check analysis tool, employers prompt associates and leaders of frontline teams to complete a recurring mandatory health check survey on their mobile devices, which must be completed in order to clock in to a shift. The survey includes a variety of questions selected by the employer to ensure associates are healthy to work. The tool also triggers notifications and tasks to managers based on specific answers within a survey. Using this survey and scheduling data, businesses can minimize the spread of COVID-19 and alert staff who may have come into contact with an employee reporting symptoms — allowing them to be leaders in keeping their employees, clients, and shoppers safe.
"Now more than ever, frontline staff are looking to their employers for guidance and protection," says Paul Wyatt, Vice President of Product Management at WorkJam. "The employers that are able to provide a high level of leadership and assurance to their staff will come out of this crisis with healthy, engaged, and loyal employees. As an extension of WorkJam’s long-standing value of improving the livelihoods of frontline employees, we’re proud to support our customers with the technology needed to create safe work environments now and in the future."
WorkJam’s health check analysis tool allows for real-time documentation and validation attestation, further reducing legal liability for businesses navigating the challenges of reopening in the current climate.

Market revenue to hit $5.5 billion in 2025 with increasing investment in 5G infrastructure, finds Frost & Sullivan
SANTA CLARA, California, May 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis, Global DC Power Systems Market, Forecast to 2025, predicts the increasing implementation of 4G and 5G networks across the world will lead to steady growth in demand for data center (DC) power systems. While market revenue is expected to drop in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it will likely rebound to pre-pandemic levels as early as 2021 and rise at a CAGR of 4.6% to $5.5 billion by 2025. Unit shipments are also expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.7% between 2019 and 2025, increasing from 895,000 units to 1.04 million.
"The increased power and processing requirements of 5G infrastructure creates the need for highly efficient and reliable power systems that can tolerate heavy loads. This can be fulfilled by DC power systems, which are modular and extremely efficient," said Manoj Shankar, Senior Research Analyst, Energy and Power Systems Practice at Frost & Sullivan. "Telecom base stations in off-grid areas or in areas that lack proper power supply also present a large market opportunity for DC power systems, which can be coupled with renewable energy sources."
Shankar added: "The deployment of 5G networks across the globe is expected to be slow initially as most telecom companies have invested heavily in 4G technologies. The expansion is most likely to gather pace in the US, China, and Europe from 2021. The Asia-Pacific and North American markets will see strong growth as companies in these regions lead investments in the telecom sector. China and the US will vie for global leadership in the 5G space, which will lead to the increased demand for DC power systems from these two countries in the future."
For further revenue opportunities, power system manufacturers should:
Focus on markets in both developed and developing countries where 5G, 4G, and LTE networks are being deployed.
Make their products more modular and efficient at a lower cost, which will drive wider acceptance once the 5G networks rollout.
Set up manufacturing houses for better lead times and complement them with regional servicing hubs that can easily reach out to customers.
Forge relationships with engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) participants to design new and innovative solutions to implement the network.
