New Device is Helping Patients Make Strides with their Mobility

YourUpdateTV

For those living with mobility impairments, wheelchairs, walkers and canes are a necessity for everyday life. While technological advancement has completely transformed almost every sector over the last century, innovation in mobility aids has largely remained the same. Recently, Founder and CEO of CIONIC, Jeremiah Robison, as well as Patty Glatfelter, a multiple sclerosis patient whose life has been transformed thanks to the Cionic Neural Sleeve, conducted a satellite media tour to share insights on the Cionic Neural Sleeve that's earned recognition as one of Time's Best Inventions of 2023. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/ZyJLaAuRp2c People living with mobility impairments are asking for, and deserve, better tools, harnessing the power of modern technology. Motivated by his daughter Sofia’s mobility challenges from cerebral palsy, tech innovator Jeremiah Robison founded CIONIC to harness the technological advances in continuous diagnostics and machine learning to help the mobility impaired not only regain mobility in the moment, but potentially improve it by strengthening and retraining the body over time. CIONIC is a neurotech company on a mission to superpower the human body to reach its fullest potential. CIONIC’s vision is a world beyond disability and limitations, enabled by personalized healthcare technology. The company’s premier product, the FDA-cleared Cionic Neural Sleeve, is changing the lives of people with upper motor neuron conditions (multiple sclerosis, stroke, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury and more) drastically increasing their ability to walk, move and balance. Voted one of Time’s Best Inventions of 2023, The Cionic Neural Sleeve analyzes, predicts, and augments muscles in the leg to improve walking, updating with each step the wearer takes. To learn more visit cionic.com Jeremiah Robison Bio Jeremiah Robison is the Founder and CEO of CIONIC, an innovative company that builds lightweight and durable bionic clothing driven by powerful algorithms that adapt in real-time to each individual's mobility needs. He started the company in 2018 after his daughter was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and he was frustrated at the lack of effective technology available to help improve her mobility. Four years later, CIONIC introduced the breakthrough, FDA-cleared Cionic Neural Sleeve, the first product to combine sensing, analysis and augmentation into a wearable garment. Prior to CIONIC, Jeremiah spent twenty years at the intersection of data, algorithms, and the human body, driving innovation in sensing and machine learning at Apple, Openwave Systems, Slide, and Jawbone. Jeremiah has a BS and MS in Computer Science from Stanford University. About Patty Glatfelter Patty Glatfelter, 69, a Florissant, CO resident who has had multiple sclerosis (MS) for 37 years, has been using the Cionic Neural Sleeve for almost a year now. Patty, a former physical therapist, retired back in 2008 because of her limitations to provide care due to her MS. Before the Cionic Neural Sleeve, she couldn’t walk 50 feet and experienced periods of remissions, as well as stages where she relied on a walker, cane, and wheelchair. It was a rollercoaster ride for about eight to ten years. Her doctor even thought that within the first three to five years of her MS diagnosis, she would be in a wheelchair permanently. Her quality of life was limited. She had to cook sitting down and could stand for about 15 minutes before needing a break. She couldn’t take socks out of the dryer or go for walks outside of her house on the mountains alone. Ever since she started using the Cionic Neural Sleeve, she instantly saw a difference. She notes that she was “astounded by how well [I] was walking.” The Cionic Neural Sleeve has restored her ability to do many everyday things, including taking clothes out of the dryer, going for walks, taking vacations, climbing lighthouses and seeing friends and family. She even notes that she is better now than she was ten years ago. She describes the experience as “a perfect storm in a good way.” Contact Details YourUpdateTV +1 212-736-2727 yourupdatetv@gmail.com

Taking the Guesswork Out of Finding the Right Therapist with Two Chairs

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/_XF1w-pVxZs While more Americans are seeking therapy than ever before, many people are matched with the wrong therapist. Two Chairs, the leader in connecting patients to the right therapist, has developed a solution called Matchmaker, an industry-leading technology platform that expertly connects people with the right therapist based on their health history, personal background, and clinical needs. Research shows that a strong client-therapist relationship is the key to great therapy but finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. Knowing where to start and what makes a great patient-therapist match saves time and increases the likelihood of success. Data shows that the majority of people attend just one therapy session before quitting: ● 1 in 5 patients quit therapy prematurely because they don’t trust their therapist. ● Data finds that a strong patient-therapist relationship is the single best predictor of therapy success. ● Recent research shows that an average 15-20 sessions are needed for 50% of patients to recover. When Two Chairs hires a new therapist, Matchmaker analyzes their strengths, experiences, and skill sets, zeroing in on clinical presentations, diagnoses, focus areas, and demographics. For example, a therapist highly skilled in treating panic disorders may be less adept at addressing postpartum depression. Conversely, a clinician who has limited experience in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy may demonstrate a high level of expertise in utilizing Dialectical Behavior Therapy. This meticulous process ensures that the precise therapist-patient pairing is fine-tuned to match an individual's needs. Two Chair’s Matchmaker process considers over 300 factors, including therapy types (such as dynamic, emotion-focused, cognitive-behavioral, etc.), clinical styles, specific disorder expertise (anxiety, mood, trauma, addiction, eating, personality, etc.), life stages, relationships, identity, and more. Additionally, therapists can stipulate therapeutic approaches they choose not to practice, serving as a safeguard for both patients and clinicians. This comprehensive analysis ensures a tailored and optimal match for individuals seeking therapy. Established with the goal of providing the highest quality outpatient mental health care system in the United States, Two Chairs boasts an impressive patient retention rate, with 90% of their patients continuing to a fourth session—significantly surpassing the national average of 33%. Key to their treatment success is one of the most rigorous and sophisticated clinician-patient matching processes on the market. Two Chairs’ newly launched Matchmaker features further empower clinicians to practice at the top of their license, allowing them to focus on cases they are most skilled in treating. On January 10th, a media tour was conducted featuring Colleen Marshall, Vice President of Clinical Care at Two Chairs and a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, to discuss the new Matchmaker feature and the importance of measuring outcomes to ensure clients get better faster. With a growing team of 500 licensed clinicians across 90 areas of expertise, Two Chairs has more than 20 million covered lives. Topics that Colleen Marshall discussed during the media tour included: ● Why a strong client-therapist relationship is crucial for effective therapy. ● Why it’s important to prioritize your mental health and destigmatize getting help. ● Reasons why people quit therapy, emphasizing the importance of a good therapist match for a long-term relationship that will lead to better outcomes. ● Why Two Chairs' developed the Matchmaker feature, delving into how it works to improve therapist-patient connections. For more information, visit TwoChairs.com About Two Chairs Two Chairs was founded in 2017 with a mission to build a world where everyone has access to exceptional mental healthcare. We're creating a better experience for both patients and clinicians by starting with an in-depth, research-backed matching process to ensure the ideal patient-therapist fit, offering hybrid care that gives patients and clinicians flexibility between in-person and virtual sessions, and measuring outcomes to ensure patients get better faster.
