Hyland Healthcare Commended by Frost & Sullivan for Creating a New Standard in PACS Technology by Expediting Fully Informed Care Decisions

Leave a comment

Leveraging previously unstructured content via integration with EMRs, Hyland delivers a complete patient view for improved clinical decision-making and higher quality care

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 9, 2020 — Based on its recent analysis of the North American enterprise imaging solutions market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Hyland Healthcare with the 2020 North America Product Leadership Award. By overcoming traditional information silos between departments and information formats, the company has set a new standard for managing, viewing, and exchanging both digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) and non-DICOM records as well as data across an enterprise. Its full suite of content services and enterprise imaging solutions brings together structured and unstructured content into a single, comprehensive, and customizable view.

Hyland Healthcare
Hyland Healthcare

Hyland optimizes and streamlines data collection, transfer, and visualization, empowering healthcare enterprises to improve workflows and maximize reimbursements. Its extensive platform enables electronic medical record (EMR) integration of previously siloed information regardless of format, which is an unmatched offering within the industry. The solutions support all modalities for data and image viewing, including two-dimensional and three-dimensional visualization and tools, multi-linear reconstruction, PET-CT fusion, PET-MR fusion, computed tomography, MammoCAD, and structured reports. Furthermore, its products are vendor-neutral, which frees healthcare organizations to choose specific solutions and integrate them with existing systems.

"Hyland’s solutions leverage advanced custom application programming interfaces and context switching, incorporating them as part of an enterprise’s full solution to integrate with other vendor offerings, elegantly bridging the gap between imaging and content," said Dr. Suresh Kuppuswamy, Industry Principal at Frost & Sullivan. "Clinicians can make more informed care decisions as they have access to the patient’s complete medical record. The viewer integrates and displays both content and enterprise imaging information regardless of DICOM and non-DICOM formats within the healthcare organization’s EMR."

The company’s spectrum of solutions includes Acuo, a best-in-class universal archive to meet clinical and diagnostic viewing needs. Acuo creates a new viewing standard due to its unique interoperability, functionality, scalability, technical frameworks, and integration profiles. Meanwhile, the company’s web-based, zero-footprint, FDA-cleared enterprise and diagnostic viewer, NilRead, is built with differentiated and modern architecture for display on any device or browser platform. Other prominent solutions include ImageNext, an enterprise-wide workflow optimization tool, and PACSgear, a suite of enterprise-class connectivity solutions that allow users to capture vital encounter-based images and videos easily as well as documents and integrate them with a PACS or EMR.

"Hyland is currently investing in and working with international partners to develop a digital pathology solution that incorporates its zero-footprint NilRead enterprise and diagnostic viewer and Acuo VNA. Anticipating the future, it also designed its products to be cloud-based," noted Dr. Kuppuswamy. "As a result of its unmatched ability to enable enterprise-wide content viewing, more than 50% of the United States hospital market employs its solutions. The company is all set to expand further in the European Union, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Africa to entrench itself as a global market player."

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that develops a product with innovative features and functionality that is gaining rapid market acceptance. The award recognizes the quality of the solution and the customer value enhancements it enables.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

As More Seniors Look to Age Independently, TCL Unveils the MOVETIME Family Watch to Help Keep Seniors Connected

Leave a comment

BERLIN, Sept. 3, 2020 — TCL, one of the world’s best-selling consumer electronics brands and leading technology companies, is introducing the MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A today. This 4G connected watch provides hands-free two way calling, automatic fall detection, heart rate monitoring and medication reminders designed to help seniors maintain their independence.

TCL MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A
TCL MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A

According to Pew Research, nearly 20 percent of seniors around the world live alone. While older adults may want to age in their homes and retain their independence, their loved ones may have concerns about their safety or their ability to get around and complete daily activities. The MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A is the perfect solution.

This watch provides automatic fall detection, which notes when the wearer falls and sends an immediate alert (within 60 seconds) to assigned emergency contacts with the individual’s precise location. The wearer can also dismiss the alert if necessary. With an embedded heart rate monitor and sensor, the watch will also keep an eye on heart rate and will alert the wearer to irregular activity, such as an accelerated or slower than average heart rate.

"With the announcement of the MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A, TCL is utilizing modern wearable technologies that can help seniors continue living independent lives while providing peace of mind for their families and caregivers," said Sharon Xiao, GM of the Smart Connected Device Business Group at TCL Communication. "TCL is committed to leveraging its technical expertise for this generation, bringing unique offerings and features that are designed especially for them." 

In addition to medical emergencies, the MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A is also designed to improve daily life for older adults. Seniors stay connected by sending voice or text messages and can also share photos or emojis right from their wrist. The watch also offers smooth two-way calling so seniors can check in with loved ones using a simple hands-free request. The MOVETIME Family Watch also has daily activity tracking and sleep monitoring to help the seniors track their activity and calories, while also measuring their sleep duration, cycle and efficiency. These tools provide them with insights that can help improve their lifestyle habits. Seniors can also leverage the watch’s medication or activity reminders, keeping them active while also making sure that they always take their pills on time.

The MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A comes in Dark Gray and Black with a 41 x 48.5mm AMOLED touch display and optimized larger icons, watch face and graphics designed for seniors. The device is IP67 water and dust resistant and it is designed to meet CCPA and GDPR compliance to protect user privacy. The MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A will be available in North America and Europe this fall for €229 EUR.

TCL will share additional details during its virtual press conference at IFA 2020 later today. To learn more about TCL wearables, including the TCL MOVETIME Family Watch, please visit http://www.tclcom.com/wearables/index.html.

Jvion Lauded by Frost & Sullivan for Improving Patient Outcomes Using Its Clinical-AI CORE™ Intelligence Platform

Leave a comment

Jvion’s prescriptive analytics approach identifies undetected risk and modifiable risk trajectories followed by recommendations for remedial actions

SANTA CLARA, California, Sept. 1, 2020 — Based on its recent analysis of the North American prescriptive analytics market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Jvion, Inc. with the 2020 North American Technology Innovation Leadership Award for its clinical-AI Care Optimization and Recommendation Enhancement (CORE™) technology. It is a scalable, secure intelligence repository that aggregates structured as well as unstructured data and augments that information with clinical, socioeconomic, and experiential data on 30 million individuals to draw meaningful correlations and inferences. To date, Jvion’s clinical AI has helped more than 300 hospitals, payers, and pharmacy managers achieve 30 percent reductions in preventable adverse incidents, which translate to annual savings of more than $6.3 million.

2020 North American Prescriptive Analytics Technology Innovation Leadership Award
2020 North American Prescriptive Analytics Technology Innovation Leadership Award

"The CORE™ identifies health and financial risk trajectories that can be modified, delivers prioritized insights to the care teams and coordinators engaging patients, and makes recommendations to improve outcomes. As a prescriptive analytics solution, it can proactively mitigate preventable harm that could otherwise lead to hospital readmissions, serious conditions, or accelerated health deterioration," said Cecilia Van Cauwenberghe, Industry Principal. "With this first-in-class AI platform, Jvion evolved from a provider of simple predictive analytics and machine learning solutions to a technology leader that can help identify potentially high-risk patients and suggest specific remedial action."

The solution leverages a combination of Eigen-based mathematics, datasets from over 30 million patients, and a software platform to promptly act upon 50+ preventable clinical events, covering behavioral health, hospital acquired conditions, chronic conditions, hospice/palliative care, and medication adherence. Additionally, it can identify avoidable cost events including uncompensated care and help customers work with their patient population to identify the right financial assistance. Importantly, the CORE™ does not require the creation of new models or perfect datasets. The underlying AI capability assesses 4,500 clinical and non-clinical risk factors for every patient and a quadrillion risk calculations through 170,000 self-learning Eigen Spheres clusters in real-time.

Frequently used enterprise data warehouse or data lake models demand considerable resources just to deliver a retrospective view of the patient’s health risk. Similarly, scoring methods such as LACE and BRADEN do not provide enough granularity or patient specificity to determine all the factors impacting the patient’s health. Jvion’s CORE™, on the other hand, boasts patient specificity, high effectiveness (seven times more effective than popular scoring methods), patient rendering (up to 365 days view into the future), successful use of even incomplete and unstructured datasets, and the fastest speed to value. Each of these benefits helps deliver effective, personalized patient care.

"As a result of its patient-centric approach to understanding vulnerability and risk, Jvion was able to pivot quickly during a pandemic to launch its COVID Response Suite, which delivers lists of individuals most vulnerable to severe illness. These insights enable proactive and targeted outreach to individuals that need to take more aggressive precautions," noted Cauwenberghe. "The relevance of its solutions, along with its patient-focused technology development efforts, has positioned Jvion for accelerated growth."

"Jvion is honored to be recognized for executing on its mission of preventing avoidable harm whether categorized as a health or financial event for our customers," said Jay Deady, CEO of Jvion. "Our team is constantly innovating to ensure our prescriptive AI approach is relevant to the changing dynamics of the healthcare industry."

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has demonstrated uniqueness in developing and leveraging new technologies that deliver significant customer value.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

GEN inCode Announces Completion of £3M Institutional Foundation Fundraise

Leave a comment

OXFORD, England, Sept. 1, 2020 — GEN inCode UK Limited, the privately-owned artificial intelligence cardiovascular disease company focused on the prevention of cardiovascular disease, announces today the completion of a £3.0M institutional fundraise to internationally scale its products and technology.   

GEN inCode specializes in genetic risk assessment and the prediction of cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a broad disease classification including coronary artery disease, such as angina and myocardial infarction, often referred to as "heart attack". CVD also includes stroke, heart failure, hypertension, venous thromboembolism and other vascular heart diseases. CVD is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide accounting for one in every four deaths in the United States. By 2030, the total global cost of CVD is set to rise from approximately US $863 billion in 2010 to US $1,044 billion and is both a major health issue and global economic burden.

GEN inCode’s CE marked invitro-diagnostic products provide genetic information to enable patients, doctors and healthcare practitioners to assess and predict the onset of CVD. The Company’s products and ‘cloud-based’ reporting system help inform healthcare practitioners and patients of their CVD risk, enabling behavioural change alongside delivery of the most effective course of treatment. 

GEN inCode has amassed significant investment in over 15 years’ worth of research data and the development of products and algorithms to assess disease risk and prevent the onset of CVD. In September 2018, the Company acquired the products, assets and know-how of the Ferrer inCode and the Gendiag.exe businesses, then part of The Ferrer Group, a large pharmaceutical and healthcare multinational company with headquarters in Barcelona, Spain. GEN inCode has now received institutional funding from Maven Capital Partners and Downing to expand its operations in Europe, the UK and U.S.

GEN inCode’s vision is to educate patients about their cardiovascular risk and to improve public health by using the predictive capability of its products with targeted therapies to determine lifestyle choice and improve patient outcomes.

Matthew Walls, Chairman and CEO, said: "We are delighted to complete the institutional round of funding and welcome Maven and Downing, our new institutional investors. The funding will prepare the Company for accelerated growth and international scale and supports our regulatory and clinical pathway into the U.S. market. We look forward to advising the market on our progress and further milestones in due course."

Jordi Puig, Co-founder and Group COO, said: "This marks another milestone in the development of our Company and prepares us to rapidly scale our products and technology across our European business."

First Rapid Corona Antigen Test Approved for Clinical Study in Germany

Leave a comment

The health tech company Digital Diagnostics AG from Mainz, Germany, has received approval for clinical trials from a German ethics committee and the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM). This is a crucial regulatory step in the ongoing approval process for the Digid Cantisense™ SARS-CoV-2 test in Germany. The aim of the clinical trials is to demonstrate the reliability of the new technology in comparison with conventional PCR tests. The new test is particularly suitable for access control at airports or at large-scale event

MAINZ, Germany, Aug. 26, 2020 — In June 2020, the health technology company Digital Diagnostics AG from Mainz, applied for approval of the Digid Cantisense™ SARS-CoV-2 test for Germany at the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM). BfArM has now permitted the conduct of clinical trials in accordance with Section 20 (1) of the German Medical Devices Act (MPG). Meanwhile, the ethics committee of the Rheinland-Pfalz Medical Association (Landesärztekammer) has also given a positive vote.

Completion of the clinical evaluation of the Digid biosensor and the accompanying reading device is expected in October 2020. If the results meet expectations, the rapid Cantisense™ test shall be approved in short succession. Digital Diagnostics AG will then be able to launch the tests on the market in millions. The company currently develops the necessary production capacities, ready for use in time right after the approval.

The leading center to carry out the clinical trials is PFÜTZNER Science & Health Institute in Mainz, which works closely with scientists and MDs from corona test centers and clinics throughout Germany. It is planned to perform the study locally as well as in known German corona hotspots.

In the study, patients are tested in parallel with a standard PCR method and with the Digid Cantisense™ SARS-CoV-2 test. Like with all common SARS-CoV-2 determinations, medical staff takes a throat swab from the patient. The sample is analyzed directly on site with the Digid rapid test system and afterwards compared with the result of a PCR test from a reference laboratory to demonstrate the accuracy of the Digid Cantisense™ SARS-CoV-2 test. The design of the study complies with FDA and EU Commission guidelines for in-vitro measurement procedures to detect SARS-CoV-2.

One key advantage of the Digid Cantisense™ SARS-CoV-2 test is that it directly detects the presence of the virus in the sample, while other available rapid tests mostly detect antibodies. Patients only develop these antibodies if they have had an infection for several days, a time during which they were contagious and might unknowingly have infected others. With the unique combination of immediate on-site detection of the virus in tested patients, the Digid Cantisense™ SARS-CoV-2 test is particularly useful to contain the spread of the pandemic and suitable for on-site access control and rapid testing, for example at airports, in hospitals or at large-scale events.

Clarivate Launches Coronavirus, Virology, and Infectious Disease (CVID) Data Lake to Accelerate Research, Preparedness and Response to Future Pandemics

Leave a comment

Broad and deep intelligence — harmonized and accessed via one single, secure source — powers unique insights not possible via disconnected, siloed datasets

LONDON, Aug. 20, 2020 — Clarivate Plc (NYSE: CCC), a global leader in providing trusted information and insights to accelerate the pace of innovation, today announced the launch of its Coronavirus, Virology, and Infectious Disease (CVID) Data Lake to support global researchers and policy makers in their efforts to make data-driven decisions that accelerate disease response, prevent and prepare for future pandemics.

The CVID Data Lake is the first of several therapeutically-oriented data lakes from Clarivate, bringing together the comprehensive information and insights that power the company’s market-leading tools, analytics and services, including real-world data (RWD) from DRG’s RWD product; scientific, clinical, regulatory and commercial data from Cortellis™; cited scholarly references indexed in Web of Science™; and both content and data from award-winning news service, BioWorld™, in one centralized source.  Data from other sources can also be integrated, further enhancing derived insights.

During these unprecedented times, researchers and policy makers need to connect the dots across multiple data points. Collaboration across public and private networks is integral to solving the current health crises and preventing future ones. The CVID Data Lake is a uniquely unified dataset focused on the coronaviruses, including COVID-19, as well as virology, super viruses and infectious diseases, enabling researchers to mine and interrogate harmonized data from a single, expertly curated source and access complete, structured and connected data to enable fact and evidence-based decisions. 

Ken McLaren, SVP and GM, Data Analytics & Insights (DAI) at Clarivate, said: "The new imperative for global health requires researchers and policy makers to accelerate their efforts to both treat and prevent future pandemics and infectious diseases.  A unified data set allows for more complex analyses and improved insights not efficiently available through disparate, siloed databases. With our new Coronavirus, Virology, and Infectious Disease Data Lake, researchers around the world can access scientific, clinical, commercial and research data within one seamless and secure platform." 

Now, more than ever, pharma and biotech companies are interested in understanding the disease impact on clinical trials and treatment patterns, monitoring how research funding and the regulatory landscape is evolving in response to COVID-19, optimizing the use of biomedical R&D and manufacturing resources, and developing global strategies to support pricing, market access and reimbursement in areas of interest.

Government agencies are looking to measure the impact of infectious disease on the capacity of the healthcare system and essential supplies, analyze how the health policy, research and regulatory landscape is changing in response to COVID-19, and develop pricing and reimbursement policies to ensure access to medicines.  The insights derived from the CVID Data Lake support these use cases and more – providing unprecedented decision support and planning inputs while serving as a bridge between policy and practice and enabling improved use of resources across the public-private continuum.

The CVID Data Lake features all related content in one place, connected in new ways, supporting a multitude of end users, to enable deeper insights and delivery of complex and high value use cases.  Clients can choose from an array of delivery options depending on their resource needs and expertise, including: datasets and programmatic access; preconfigured dashboards, reports or customized tools; custom analytics based on specific requirements; or consulting engagements that include analysis and recommendations.

The CVID Data Lake includes: real-world patient data; drug pipeline data; genes and targets; clinical trials; digital health data; publication and citation data; epidemiology; regulatory intelligence; patents and more.  Other therapy areas will be launched to help researchers accelerate innovation in other therapeutic areas. The new offering further demonstrates how the combined expertise, data and technologies of Clarivate and DRG, which was acquired by Clarivate earlier this year, can support customers across the entire drug, device and medical technology lifecycles.
