VectraCor and GS GmbH (Corpuls) Form Licensing Agreement to Incorporate VectraCor’s 22-Lead ECG and CEB® (Cardiac Electrical Biomarker) Technology in Corpuls Defibrillators

Leave a comment

Both Companies Committed to Bringing the Best Cardiac Care to the Healthcare Workers and Patients that Need It

TOTOWA, New Jersey, July 17, 2020 — GS Elektromedizinische Geraete G. Stemple GmbH, marketing defibrillators under the corpuls brand, and VectraCor Inc., announced today that they have concluded a licensing agreement allowing corpuls to incorporate VectraCor’s cloud-based version of VectraCor’s derived 22-Lead ECG and CEB® (Cardiac Electrical Biomarker) technology into corpuls devices. This will help corpuls’ customers obtain a faster ECG and even more clinically important cardiac data while helping their patients in the most urgent medical situations. VectraCor currently has this technology integrated into their VectraplexECG System, used mainly in Emergency Departments, Urgent Cares and Doctor’s Offices. The VectraplexECG System has approval in the United States (FDA), Europe (CE Mark), Taiwan and Australia and is patented worldwide.

Dr. Christian Klimmer, CEO of corpuls said, “In 1991 corpuls was the first medical device company in the field of multi-parameter / defibrillators introducing the 12-lead ECG to the market. A little revolution back then, standard worldwide as of today. With the introduction of the 22-lead ECG and the CEB® together with VectraCor we will again set the new standard in diagnosing cardiovascular disease, in particular in EMS. We deeply believe that our customers are very interested in more advanced diagnostics regarding acute coronary syndromes especially if this doesn’t come with the price of more time on scene. This will hopefully enable a higher diagnostic accuracy, earlier treatment and an easier choice of the most appropriate hospital where the patient is transported to. For the receiving hospital to know exactly what to expect we have created the possibility to send all 22-Leads as well as the CEB® ahead as a pdf or, in even more detail as part of our corpuls.misson Telemedicine solution.” 

Brad S. Schreck, President & CEO of VectraCor Inc. said, “We are very excited about this partnership with corpuls and to begin to license our patented technology so it can get into the hands of more of the brave life-saving medical professionals that need it. The corpuls product line is used widely and highly respected throughout the world, so naturally, we feel like they are an ideal partner to showcase our technology. We are also very pleased that corpuls sees the important clinical benefit of deriving a full 22-lead ECG which gives the provider more clinically relevant views of the heart, right-sided, posterior, and vectorcardiogram which can have isolated issues when the 12-Lead ECG looks ‘normal’. The reduced electrode placement also saves money and patient prep-time along with helping avoiding potential electrode misplacement.” 

Schreck continued, “Our ECG technology may now help healthcare workers more quickly detect cardiac disease in real-time and non-invasively, in the form of VectraCor’s easy-to-read, color-coded, CEB® number. This could lead to a potentially faster treatment to save heart muscle and lives. After many years of published studies and presentations from prestigious institutions at medical congresses around the world such as ESC, ACC, ACEP, etc., which validated the clinical effectiveness of our technology, we are ready to take the company and healthcare to the next level. This will include licensing the CEB® and derivation technology and putting it into various multi-parameter monitors and other cardiac devices like stress tests, Holter/event monitors, mobile consumer devices and telemedicine platforms.”

On the strategic aspect of the partnership, Schreck said, “The defibrillator and EMS market has always been of major interest to us after VectraCor won the Top EMS Innovation Award at EMS World Expo a few years back. So partnering with corpuls, a major player in that market, fits right into our strategy and vision.” He added, “This is only the beginning in our fight against the number one disease state, and killer, in the world, cardiovascular disease.”

Welcome to NETX – Global Conglomerate Bellagraph Nova Group Launches Latest Technolgy Platform Focusing on AI + Robotics + Healthcare

Leave a comment

PARIS, July 10, 2020 — Headquartered in Paris, France, the Bellagraph Nova Group (BN Group), the multi-national conglomerate overseeing 31 business entities across 100 countries is the world’s fastest growing 360 degree lifestyle platform. 

The BN Group is proud to announce its latest project to its ever-increasing portfolio: NETX, an exciting new division focused on the development and application of robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. 

In December 2019, the three founders of the BN Group, Terence Loh, Nelson Loh, and Evangeline Shen hosted a closed door discussion session with Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States of America to discuss their views on how technology will bring about the next industrial revolution. The three founders passionately shared their vision where technological disruption is essential to bringing about positive change in our society. As a result of their historic meeting with Barack Obama, NETX was born … The rest as they say is history.

(L-R) Bellagraph Co-Founders Nelson Loh, Evangeline Shen, President Barack Obama and Terence Loh having an engaging discussion on how the BN Group wants to harness technology to benefit mankind

In President Obama’s own words, ” What we’re seeing here is the way that technology is changing not just how you do business, not just how you buy products, but also how you interact, how you organize politically, how you get involved in the community and how you solve problems. And all of that can support millions of new jobs.”

Those very own words of President Obama prompted the three founders’ subsequent quote: “Following our meeting with President Obama in Dec 2019, the three of us were greatly inspired by his vision. It resonated strongly with ours, so much so our exhilarated actions led to the launch of NETX.” Over the last 6 months, it has been a primary focal point of the BN Group to channel its energy and global resources into the development and commercialization of the rapidly growing global robotics market which is forecast to grow to over US$160 billion by 2025. Especially in light of the post COVID-19 pandemic, the global adoption of AI and robotics will be even faster and across all aspects of our lives.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, NETX already dispatched domestic service robots to support frontline healthcare workers worldwide, protecting over 80,000 patients and medical staff. NETX has also implemented AI in its Remote Access technology which has greatly reduced the risk of exposure in otherwise hazardous conditions. In seeing the successful applications of NETX’s robotics and AI technology, the BN Group is planning the distribution and implementation of NETX to the company’s worldwide network of hospitals, clinics, commercial and retail locations.

While many questions still remain unanswered regarding the world of robotics and how these machines will affect society, there should be no question of the Bellagraph Nova Group’s unwavering commitment to simply making our world a better place by investing in the future with its focus on the development and application of robotic technology in its latest exciting chapter, NETX.

ABOUT BELLAGRAPH NOVA GROUP

Sustainability, diversity and ethics, constitute the cornerstone of BN Group’s model and compliance policy for its executives, employees and stakeholders. Our emblem is the butterfly, the symbol par excellence of endurance and perennial metamorphosis.

The Group is headquartered in the famous 10 Place Vendôme in Paris, France. With 31 entities in over 100 countries, the combined US$12 billion revenue Bellagraph Nova Group is the world’s fastest growing 360 degree lifestyle platform.

Sweeping Workplace Changes Expected in a Post-pandemic World, Says Research From The Adecco Group

2 Comments

Businesses and workers call for greater flexibility, questions raised over the hours-based contract, and a new empathetic leadership profile emerges

ZURICH, June 30, 2020 —

  • Workers demand greater flexibility after coronavirus, with a 50/50 split of remote and office time confirmed as the universal ideal
  • Questions raised over the hours-based contract, with 69% saying contracts should be based on results delivered rather than hours worked
  • Boom in digital skills an unintended consequence of lockdown, with tech knowhow improving for six in 10 (61%), and two thirds (69%) eager for further digital upskilling post-pandemic
  • Leaders need to reinvent themselves as more emotionally intelligent, but they are not prepared, as less than half felt equipped to support employees holistically during the pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic has resulted in pivotal shifts in attitudes and expectations among workers and leaders, as both call for permanent changes in how and where we work, workplace relationships and future skills, according to new research from the Adecco Group.

The Adecco Group, the world’s leading HR solutions company, today unveiled the results of its latest study, Resetting Normal: Defining the New Era of Work, examining the expected short- and long-term impact of the pandemic on resetting workplace norms. Fieldwork was conducted in May 2020, with 8,000 office-based respondents (aged 18-60) across Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, the UK and the USA.

The Adecco Group’s Chief Executive Officer, Alain Dehaze, said: “The world of work will never return to the ‘normal’ we knew before the pandemic struck. The sudden and dramatic change in the workplace landscape has accelerated emerging trends such as flexible working, high-EQ leadership, and re-skilling, to the point where they are now fundamental to organisational success. As many countries emerge from the acute crisis phase of the pandemic, employers have an opportunity to ‘hit reset’ on traditional workplace practices – many of which have remained largely unchanged since the industrial revolution. This research highlights that employee attitudes have shifted and gaps between workforce expectations and entrenched labour market processes have been exposed. As we step into the new era of work, now is the time to establish better norms that will enable a holistically healthy, productive and inclusive workforce into the future.”

Key research highlights:

The research revealed that the working world is ready for a new “hybrid” model, with three quarters (74%) of workers surveyed saying a mix of office-based and remote working is the best way forward. The universal ideal of spending half (51%) of their time in the office and half working remotely (49%) transcends geographies, generations and parental status. And company executives agree, with almost eight in ten (77%) C-suite leaders saying businesses will benefit from increased flexibility.

Another stark finding could signal the end of the hours-based contract and 40-hour week. More than two thirds (69%) of workers are in favour of “results-driven work,” whereby contracts are based on delivering against business needs rather than working a set number of hours. A high proportion of C-suite executives (74%) agree that the length of the working week should be revisited.

The pandemic has also demanded a new set of leadership competencies and these expectations are expected to accelerate a reinvention of the modern-day leader. Emotional intelligence has clearly emerged as the defining trait of today’s successful manager, but the soft skills gap is evident. Over a quarter (28%) of those questioned said their mental wellbeing had worsened due to the pandemic, with only 1 in 10 rating their managers highly on their ability to support their emotional health.   

In a similar nature to flexible working, the findings demonstrate a universal appetite for mass upskilling. Six in 10 say their digital skills have improved during lockdown, while a further two thirds (69%) are looking for further digital upskilling in the post-pandemic era. A broad range of skills development were identified as important by the workforce, including managing staff remotely (65%), soft skills (63%) and creative thinking (55%).

Finally, the findings highlighted the importance of sustaining trust in the new working world. Companies have risen to the challenge of supporting their people during the crisis, and as a result, trust in corporations has increased. In fact, 88% say that their employer met or exceeded their expectations in adapting to the challenges of the pandemic. And with this increased trust comes increased expectations. While the future of work is a collective responsibility, 80% of employees believe their employer is responsible for ensuring a better working world post-COVID and resetting norms, compared with 73% who say the government is responsible, 72% who agree it is an individual responsibility, and 63% who believe it is in the hands of labour unions.
