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

Bitcoin and Ethereum's Massive Growth Echoes; The Graph & Rebel Satoshi See Surge in Investor Interest

RoundHouse Media

The giants Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are once again creating ripples reminiscent of their historic growth patterns. Recent research reports by Coinbase Research and Glassnode reveal a staggering similarity between the current market conditions and the period from 2018 to 2022. During this timeframe, Bitcoin witnessed a remarkable surge of 500%, while Ethereum soared by an astonishing 1,000%. Parallel Patterns and Market Cycles Analysts are pointing to various cyclicality metrics, such as net unrealized profit/loss and supply in profit, to draw parallels between the ongoing crypto market cycle and the preceding ones. These metrics indicate that the current state of the crypto markets is not exhibiting the euphoria witnessed at the peak of 2023. Instead, it suggests that there might be further potential for significant market surges. Despite the optimism surrounding the forthcoming Bitcoin halving, Coinbase Research remains cautious. The paper notes a lack of robust supporting evidence and characterizes the relationship between the halving and market performance as somewhat speculative. This cautious stance reflects a commitment to thorough analysis and a recognition of the unpredictable nature of the crypto market. Ethereum's Triumph and Upcoming Upgrade In 2023, Ethereum experienced a surge of over 90%, attributed to factors such as the success of the Shapella upgrade and the increasing likelihood of approval for spot crypto ETFs. Market participants were quick to embrace these developments, contributing to the notable increase in Ethereum's value. Analysts are now setting their sights on the upcoming Ethereum upgrade named Cancun. Expected to enhance scalability and security, the upgrade aims to make layer-2 transactions as cost-effective as possible. The successful implementation of Cancun could potentially lead to a significant increase in the number of processed transactions on the Ethereum network. The Graph (GRT): A Rising Star Amidst the buzz surrounding the top crypto coins, The Graph (GRT) emerges as a rising star. With its focus on decentralized data indexing and query protocol for the Web3 ecosystem, The Graph has garnered increased attention from investors. As a decentralized oracle, The Graph provides a bridge between smart contracts and off-chain data, contributing to the efficiency and functionality of decentralized applications (DApps). Investors eyeing altcoins to watch have turned their attention to The Graph for its innovative approach to data organization and retrieval within the blockchain space. As the crypto market continues to evolve, The Graph stands as a notable player with the potential for significant growth. Rebel Satoshi Emerges in the Crypto Scene Amidst the buzz surrounding the top crypto coins, a new player has entered the scene—Rebel Satoshi ($RBLZ). Offering a unique proposition, Rebel Satoshi allows users to explore 9,999 unique NFTs, creating a vibrant marketplace for exclusive digital art and collectibles.

Protecting Older California Homes from Earthquake Damage – biggest program expansion ever

YourUpdateTV

According to the California Earthquake Authority (which supports and oversees CRMP with Cal OES), there are more than 1.2 million houses in California built before 1980 in high-hazard areas that are vulnerable to collapse or destruction by sliding off the foundation during a strong earthquake. Recently, Chief Mitigation Officer at the California Earthquake Authority, Janiele Maffei, conducted a satellite media tour to spread critical awareness about the importance of seismic retrofits and share resources to help California Homeowners protect their home from earthquake damage. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/bOtBz633hZk On January 10, the California Residential Mitigation Program (CRMP) kicked off the 2024 Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) open registration, during which California homeowners can apply for up to $3,000 in grants to retrofit qualifying pre-1980 homes. Supporting this effort will be an education campaign focused on ZIP Code eligible areas, which aims to spread critical awareness about the grant period, earthquake safety, and residential mitigation including Eureka, San Francisco, Salinas/Monterey, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Palm Springs and San Diego. Registration for the 2024 EBB grant program continues through February 21st. Overall, EBB hopes to provide funding for approximately 6,000 seismic retrofits this year. EBB grants help offset the cost of seismic retrofits that brace the crawl space walls of older homes, when present, and bolt houses to their foundations, making them less vulnerable to earthquake damage. In the ten years since it began, the EBB program has assisted more than 23,000 homeowners in strengthening their homes against earthquake damage. The EBB grant program is administered by the California Residential Mitigation Program ( CRMP ) a Joint Powers Authority between the California Earthquake Authority ( CEA ) and the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services ( Cal OES ). Homeowners in 815 high-risk ZIP Codes can apply for grants of up to $3,000 to offset the cost of a seismic retrofit that can help lessen the potential for damage during an earthquake. In addition, income-eligible homeowners can qualify for supplemental grants – amounts vary depending on the region and type of retrofit completed. These supplemental grants may cover up to 100 percent of the cost of a seismic retrofit. Seismic retrofits covered by the EBB program are completed by FEMA trained contractors and can help reduce damage to a house in the event of a destructive earthquake by bracing existing cripple walls in the crawl space with plywood and bolting the home to its foundation. Since 2014, more than 23,000 EBB retrofits have been completed. The new EBB registration period coincides with the 30th Anniversary of the Northridge Earthquake, a damaging 6.7 magnitude earthquake that struck early in the morning of January 17th, 1994. It caused an estimated $20 billion dollars in damages and 57 deaths and led to the State legislature creating the CEA in 1996. To learn more about the retrofit grant visit: EarthquakeBraceBolt.com About Janiele Maffei: Janiele Maffei was hired as CEA’s first Chief Mitigation Officer in May 2011 and became Director of Research in 2015. Currently her responsibilities include managing the California Residential Mitigation Program (CRMP) and that program’s first retrofit incentive program-- Earthquake Brace and Bolt (EBB); various research projects that will benefit the strategic insurance, mitigation, and education goals of CEA; and other mitigation efforts that will benefit both policyholders and California homeowners. Thanks to EBB, more than 22,000 California homeowners have completed a code-compliant seismic retrofit. Janiele and her team often hear the sentiment from homeowners that they can now sleep better at night. Janiele is proud to be part of the effort helping a growing number of California families live in more resilient housing. Janiele attended University of California Berkeley, earning an AB in Architecture and an MS in engineering. Following that, she obtained her civil and structural engineering licenses. In 2017, Janiele was inducted into the Distinguished Alumni Association of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at UC Berkeley. Prior to joining CEA, she served as the President of the Northern California Chapter of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI). She then joined the National board of EERI as Secretary Treasurer for six years, ending in 2017. In 2018 she became Vice President of the Structural Engineers Association of Northern California and assumed the role of President in 2019. Additionally, Janiele regularly participates in the EERI Visiting Professionals Program, speaking at California colleges and universities, encouraging students to consider careers in earthquake engineering. Janiele enjoys theater, travel, family, and music. Her international travel has exposed her to the rich diversity of our planet, and she considers herself fortunate to have had the privilege of visiting over 45 countries. About Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) Established by the California Residential Mitigation Program, EBB offers up to $3,000 to help California homeowners retrofit their house to reduce potential damage from earthquakes. A residential seismic retrofit makes a house more resistant to earthquake activity, such as ground shaking and soil failure, by bolting the house to its foundation and adding bracing around the perimeter of the crawl space.

Dermatologists-Founded Brand Skintensive Expands in 2024 with the Addition of Industry Veteran and Brand Acquisition

Skintensive

Skintensive, an award-winning and science-backed skincare brand founded by two Harvard-trained dermatologists, is thrilled to announce its plans for expansion in 2024. Known for its clinically-tested and top-selling Bruise Cream and a skincare range designed to support maturing and sensitive skin, Skintensive welcomes industry veteran, Dr. John Bartolone Ph.D., and acquires ScarSmart, a scar improvement and prevention brand. Bartolone joins Skintensive co-founders Anar Mikailov, M.D., FAAD, and Vladimir Ratushny, M.D., Ph.D., FAAD, as Chief Science Officer. With over 30 years of experience leading research and development labs in two of the world’s biggest personal care brands, Procter & Gamble and Unilever, Dr. Bartolone has launched numerous “first-of-its-kind” technologies and products in skincare and haircare. Pioneering core global science platforms, including anti-aging and skin lightening, Dr. Bartolone most recently launched Unilever’s first plant-based preservative system. Prior to pivoting to cosmetics, Dr. Bartolone was an Assistant Professor at the University of Connecticut, where he was awarded the “Best Paper of the Year” from the Society of Toxicology for ground-breaking research on Acetaminophen Hepatotoxicity. “I was impressed when I first met Dr. Mikailov and Dr. Ratushny in how they found an underserved, white space in the otherwise saturated skincare industry,” said Dr. Bartolone. “They’re seeing patients daily in clinics and using that direct patient feedback along with their expertise to create truly functional products. I’m honored to bring my experience and expertise to Skintensive as the brand continues expanding.” “Dr. Mikailov and I are humbled and excited for John Bartolone to join us at Skintensive,” said Dr. Ratushny. “Not only does he provide an encyclopedic insight into the skincare industry, his experience in product development, brand positioning, and creating breakthrough innovations is truly invaluable.” In addition to the appointment of John Bartolone, Skintensive is excited to announce the acquisition of Scar Smart, the makers of Scar Smart Silicone Scar Gel and Scar Smart Silicone Scar Sheets. Scar Smart is a proven silicone-based scar revision product line that will expand Skintensive’s product offering of functional skincare solutions. "We initially developed the Skintensive Bruise Cream to address acute and chronic bruising and solar purpura that is exceedingly common in our patients,” said Dr. Mikailov. “Those same patients also need options for the prevention and improvement of scars on their fragile skin. Now, the patients who trust our Skintensive brand will have access to an incredible product that dermatologists have recommended for many years." The Skintensive brand is carried by numerous board-certified dermatologist offices in the United States and will be exhibited at the 2024 American Academy of Dermatology conference in San Diego from March 7th through the 11th. Skintensive’s expansion in 2024 reflects the brand’s strong sales growth and its commitment to delivering cutting-edge, high-quality, expert-driven skincare solutions. With the addition of Dr. Bartolone and the acquisition of Scar Smart, Skintensive is well-positioned to continue its growth trajectory and strengthen its position through 2024 and beyond.
