CognitiveCare Inc. Receives a Grant of Nearly $1 Million to Advance Maternal and Fetal Health

CognitiveCare

CognitiveCare, a Healthcare AI startup and pioneer in maternal and infant health, today announced it has received a $965,871 grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to provide antenatal risk stratification AI support for the ARC’s pregnancy surveillance efforts. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), global maternal mortality is an unacceptably high 810 deaths per day, primarily from preventable or treatable causes. Further, 10–15% of all infants born are preterm and are at increased risk of morbidity and mortality. As part of this grant, CognitiveCare will detect and quantify propensity for critical adverse outcomes during antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum stages, by leveraging CognitiveCare’s Maternal Infant Health Insights & Cognitive intelligence “ MIHIC ” solution. MIHIC incorporates granular insights and patterns that interplay with clinical and social determinants of health to help detect and quantify risks at individual and population levels. CognitiveCare will first validate its models with local data and will then integrate MIHIC into both the Kenya PRiSMA (western Kenya) and the Aga Khan University & VITAL Pakistan ARC sites’ existing production environments. A segment of this grant is dedicated to train the ARC sites to use MIHIC, ensuring sustainable impact. “With the foundation’s grant support, our aim is to support caregivers in understanding propensity for risk early enough to help reduce maternal and infant morbidity and mortality,” said Dr. Suresh Attili, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer, CognitiveCare. “Decisions on patient care rest with physicians; however, risk scores generated by MIHIC support triaging patients early. The models will further provide explainable AI functionality to help caregivers understand the ‘why’ behind each MIHIC Score TM.” “ G iven that 94% of all maternal deaths occur in low- and lower-middle-income countries, CognitiveCare is committed to ensuring that low resource settings have access to MIHIC,” said Sheena Gill, President, Americas for CognitiveCare. “With this grant, we take another important step toward our vision to eradicate maternal and infant mortality globally.” About CognitiveCare: CognitiveCare is working at the forefront of science to build the world's first comprehensive health risk quantification solution that integrates AI, advanced math, and stats at the intersection of medicine, biology, genomics and social determinants. CognitiveCare's MIHIC Score™ platform assesses propensity for risk of maternal, fetal and infant health risks categorized as antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum risk scores early in the pregnancy cycle to empower proactive care.

Youth Nicotine Vaping is a Mental Health Crisis

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/PzinsT6mmYA Two health crises among youth — a mental health crisis and a vaping epidemic — pose increasing threats to a generation of young people. A recently published study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) shows that youth depression and anxiety doubled during the pandemic, compared to pre-pandemic estimates. Meanwhile, youth vaping remains at epidemic levels with nearly 20% of high schoolers vaping nicotine, with nearly 40% of those who use e-cigarettes, doing so on a regular basis. Truth Initiative ®, the organization behind the highly effective truth ® youth smoking, vaping and nicotine public education campaign organized a Moment of Action for Mental Health as part of its latest Breath of Stress Air effort to bust the fantasy that vaping nicotine is a stress reliever. The Moment of Action for Mental Health comes on the heels of Surgeon General Vivek Murthy issuing an advisory on the state of mental health among young people as an “urgent public health crisis,” and coincides with the on-going youth e-cigarette epidemic. According to the latest December 2021 Monitoring the Future Survey (MTF) report, nearly 20% of high school seniors used e-cigarettes in the past 30 days. A Truth Initiative survey found that 93% of e-cigarette users reported that vaping negatively affected their lives because it made them feel more stressed, depressed, or anxious, while 90% of those who quit said they felt less stressed, anxious, or depressed. Young people nationwide can text “ ACTION ” to 88709 to participate and join in the movement. Those looking to get help quitting e-cigarettes can get free and anonymous help from This is Quitting from truth. It is a free and anonymous, text-message based quit vaping program designed for young people. Teens and young adults can join for free by texting “ DITCHVAPE ” to 88709.

You will also like these D8 gummies for their cruelty-free nature. BudPop released two flavors for its mouth-watering gummies. They are Blue Dream and Strawberry Gelato.

The highly-potent gummies help you become more relaxed and calmer while facing challenging tasks. Furthermore, users feel comfortable because the product offers a fantastic alternative to smoking weed. You don't have to worry about the aftertaste of these gummies. The Strawberry Gelato flavor persists even after hours of consuming the gummies. Hence, no one will notice you used any cannabis product.

One exciting feature of these gummies is that they seem smoother than other products. As per Budpop reviews & customer reviews, you will find that these gummies do not hurt your throat. Furthermore, the gummies offer a smooth transition with minimal or no side effects if consumed correctly. There are several other gummies on the market. However, BudPop's Strawberry Gelato stands out. You will notice that these gummies do not have any fillers. Furthermore, you can expect an anxiety-free experience since the product does not contain delta-9 THC. Agreeably, several users have attested to the benefits of using these gummies. In particular, users found the gummies helpful in relieving chronic pain. Another proof of safety is that these Delta 8 gummies do not have any harmful chemical substances. To further build trust with its clients, the best Delta 8 Gummy brand allows users to confirm the results from its third-party laboratory tests on the official website. If you have second thoughts about the product's quality, you can check out these reports. While scientific data is still underway, customer reviews reveal the benefits of using these gummies. Most people consider BudPop delta 8 gummies helpful against seizures and other chronic disorders. The gummies help stop attacks temporarily or permanently, depending on the usage time. Some other users noted that the product helped relieve seizure symptoms. Note, however, that not everyone consumes these gummies to relieve disorders. Some users utilize the product to enhance their overall body health. Additionally, you can use this product to obtain some therapeutic properties. BudPop uses fruit-derived pectin to make its Strawberry Gelato gummies. Their use favors everybody, especially vegans who can also consume gummies. You will also find that the brand uses hemp from the best-licensed farms in Nevada for production. These farms do not use pesticides or other harmful substances to produce hemp plants. In addition, the product does not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs). All-natural ingredients ensure that you obtain the best benefits without any harm. BudPop uses an efficient hemp extraction process known as CO2 extraction. The extraction process is efficient because all the essential compounds get retained. Such compounds include terpenes which provide the natural flavoring in the product. What are the ingredients used to make this Strawberry Gelato stand out? The main ingredient used to produce these gummies is the hemp plant. The hemp used for production has 100% GMO-free, pesticide-free, and organic components. Furthermore, the hemp plant used undergoes the full-spectrum separation process. The full-spectrum separation process ensures that all the essential compounds get retained, including THC. Since THC is available, users get the trademark 'high' that comes with consuming cannabis. Some of the compounds you will find include cannabinoids, flavonoids, and terpenes. You will most likely find cannabinoids as natural components of the hemp plant. While the complete profile of cannabinoids includes 66 of them, a few stand out. Some of these components contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, cannabigerol (CBG), cannabidiol ( CBD ), and cannabinol (CBN). You will find these components helpful because they provide effects by interacting with some cannabinoid receptors in the body. The results depend on the area of the brain involved in the interaction. However, these ingredients include psychomotor performance, memory, and cognition. Furthermore, these components stimulate pleasure and reward experiences in users. Flavonoids elicit several mind-affecting and medicinal properties in users. In addition, the compound stimulates different pathways in the brain. Thus, flavonoids help control pain and provide uplifting effects to users of this product. The hemp plant contains several exclusive flavonoids such as cannflavin A, B, and C. They offer users anticancer, brain-protecting, and antioxidant properties. Terpenes are vital components in the production of these gummies. These terpenes are responsible for the unique aroma of the gummies. Furthermore, you will find that BudPop's gummies are more effective because they use terpenes. Thus, you can say that terpenes offer a better user experience. In addition, when combined with full-spectrum CBD, users obtain more potent effects. BudPop's Strawberry Gelato gummies work by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in your body. The system consists of your brain receptors essential in the cannabis experience. The compounds used in the gummies modify your brain to lift your mood and relieve pain. Furthermore, the ingredients enhance your sleep cycle, boost your energy levels, and improve other body functions. Thus, when you use this product consistently, you will get positive changes in your overall health. You will feel most of the effects of these gummies immediately after use. However, you may experience lags in results depending on individual differences. These effects usually start slowly and reach their peak before wearing off. Note that the gummies do not contain more than 0.3% THC. Thus, these gummies remain safe for consumption. Furthermore, the brand follows the 2018 Farm Bill to ensure that its product remains legal. While you may experience a slight 'buzz' during usage, you won't get too high since the THC content isn't much. Strawberries are always welcome all day. Many users have identified with gummies because of their sweet aroma and flavor. You will find that the flavor has amassed several orders more than all the other flavors. Furthermore, users love the aftertaste, which reminds them of the good old days as kids. Hence, the flavor provides benefits and ignites youthful memories of the past. You can sneak in a gummy while working without inconveniencing your colleague. You don't need to worry about the trademark scent of consuming cannabis products. Instead of that scent, your colleagues will perceive a pleasant aroma of strawberries. So far, many users believe the Strawberry Gelato is the best flavor yet from BudPop. BudPop is one of the prominent names on the list when considering edibles. With its Strawberry Gelato gummies, the brand has won the hearts of many users. The gummies are the season's flavor because they remind users of childhood memories. Asides from its pleasant aftertaste, you can derive several benefits from using this product. Firstly, you get to relax after a stressful day. But who says you can only use BudPop delta 8 gummies after a stressful day? You can use these gummies to help you navigate challenging situations in the calmest ways. Secondly, you can obtain relief from pain while using BudPop Strawberry Gelato gummies. In addition, you get to sleep better, focus more, and experience a 'safe high' with this product. Unlike many other products, this flavor ensures that your satisfaction is guaranteed. With its state-of-the-art ingredients, you get all the benefits of enjoying cannabis. Another good news is that you can safely experience the effects of cannabis without disturbing the public. Since the product gives off a sweet strawberry flavor, it is challenging to inconvenience anyone. While you enjoy the benefits of these gummies, you must ensure to stick to the manufacturer's instructions. As a newbie, consume half a gummy to gauge your tolerance level. If you feel you can tolerate more, take the remainder and observe the effects on you. Once you have determined the perfect dosage, you can enjoy your Strawberry Gelato without issues. If you have any problems, you can reach out to the customer service team, which is always available. Contact Details Riya Tyagi +1 818-468-5567

Letter Outlines Significant Concerns with House Committee’s Unreleased Report

United Network for Organ Sharing

Today, United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) Board President Matthew Cooper, M.D. and Board Vice President Jerry McCauley, M.D. sent a letter to the Chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, sharing their concerns about a report that the committee chose not to release. After receiving an embargoed copy of the report, media outlets began inquiring about the contents. Based on their questions, the report appeared to draw inaccurate conclusions about the nation’s organ donation and transplant system based on a fundamental misunderstanding of donation data and the organ procurement process. The UNOS letter outlines concerns about the impact such a report could have on patients and expressed disappointment in the lack of basic knowledge outside critics involved in the report’s development appear to have about organ donation and recovery. The letter also thanked members of the committee for halting the report’s release. Below are excerpts from the letter: “It is our understanding that the report concludes that some of the nonprofits responsible for facilitating organ donations, organ procurement organizations (OPOs), are missing the “vast majority” of opportunities for donation. Based on the statistics shared with us by the press, it appears as though the report assumes that every person who has died in a hospital is a “potential donor,” even if they were not medically cleared to be an organ donor. In fact, less than 1% of all deaths in the U.S. occur in ways clinically compatible with organ donation; people who die of cancer, sepsis, certain infectious diseases, or organ failure are ruled out for donation by the OPO using medical criteria established by transplant physicians for the safety of the potential recipient.” “The effect of recommending that organ procurement organizations should seek donation authorization for every in-hospital death would have OPOs approaching grieving families about organ donation – even when the OPO had already determined that that donation was not a clinical possibility. Giving false hope to families at such a difficult time wouldn’t just be inefficient, it would be cruel.” “This is not the first time that the organ donation and transplant system has been the subject of criticisms based on inaccurate data. A small group of critics has been circulating a series of op-eds, self-funded “research,” and out-of-context references to paint the world’s highest-performing organ donation and transplant system as ineffective.” The letter closes with Cooper and McCauley sharing the ongoing successes of the nation’s donation and transplantation system and referring to the thoughtful recommendations offered in the recently released National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) report as a blueprint for continuing to improve the system, address challenges, and best serve patients. Read the full letter here. ### About UNOS United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is the mission-driven non-profit serving as the nation’s transplant system under contract with the federal government. We lead the network of transplant hospitals, organ procurement organizations, and thousands of volunteers who are dedicated to honoring the gifts of life entrusted to us and to making lifesaving transplants possible for patients in need. Working together, we leverage data and advances in science and technology to continuously strengthen the system, increase the number of organs recovered and the number of transplants performed, and ensure patients across the nation have equitable access to transplant.

Top Tips for Returning to the Office

YourUpdateTV

With pandemic restrictions being lifted around the country, people are returning to a work environment that looks familiar but feels much different. Recently, Dr. Dana Sumpter, a Professor of Organization Theory and Management at Pepperdine Graziadio Business School, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss tips for employees, especially working moms, returning to the office and what organizations can do to help facilitate the process. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/vdw5gcwfEuI Employees are facing many challenges as they return to the office, especially working parents and caregivers. The first is how returning to the office can impact scheduling. Going back to the office means creating new routines, which can impact an entire household. There is also the challenge of uncertainty. The continued uncertainty around childcare, schooling, health protocols, and more, can completely disrupt a work routine and make it difficult to integrate back into the office. One suggestion from Dr. Sumpter? Be very clear about your availability. During the pandemic, many employees became accustomed to being “constantly available,” which is unsustainable in an office environment. It’s important to be proactive in regard to what you want your work hours to be and be clear with co-workers about when you need to take some time for yourself. Companies and organizations can also take the lead in helping their employees successfully return to the office. The first thing they can do, is keep their finger on the pulse of how employee re-entry is going, which means listening and paying attention to how their employees are feeling. It’s also important to consider employees’ holistic needs. Employers can demonstrate they care about employees holistically by upping their support policies and structure opportunities for people to connect. One potential way to jumpstart or revitalize your work life? Dr. Sumpter suggests earning a higher degree, such as an MBA or aMasters in Leadership, can be an experience and credential to help employees reach their career goals. For more information, visit bschool.pepperdine.edu About Dr. Dana Sumpter: Dana Sumpter is an Associate Professor of Organization Theory and Management at Pepperdine Graziadio Business School. Her research employs a cross-cultural lens in understanding social behavior at work, studying topics including energy, mindfulness, power, work/family systems, people management, and work relationships.

Telos Neutralizes its Past and Present Carbon Footprint - Net Zero

Telos Foundation

Telos Blockchain (ticker: TLOS) is thrilled to announce to the billion plus global citizens that proudly celebrate and embrace Earth Day that they now have a carbon-neutral smart contract option. Telos with the consulting aid of Plannet Zero, part of RedShaw Advisors Ltd, a leading carbon risk management and procurement firm, have committed to purchasing sequestration projects that will negate the emissions of the blockchain’s entire history. The offsetting is being performed in the form of biochar, which sequesters carbon (removes it from the atmosphere permanently), versus buying emission avoidance credits. Going Net Zero is the sweet spot that the Telos core developers have been striving to tap into for some time now. Up until now Telos’ energy consumption has been scaled down via decarbonization to bring the energy consumption down to less than 0.000002 kWh per transaction. This was monumental when compared to Bitcoins’ 2,258.49 kWh per transaction, Ethereum’s 238.22 kWh per transaction or even Visa’s ~0.00148 kWh per transaction where Telos is still a massive ~740x less. This was a great stride, and the team is very proud of this achievement, but it was still short of the goal of becoming environmentally invisible. Plannet Zero worked with Telos to calculate their carbon footprint by conducting an analysis to quantify the Telos blockchain’s energy consumption over the life of the chain. This analysis dated back to the first block ever generated, late 2018. Now, Telos is continuing to work closely with Plannet Zero to validate Telos’ emissions profile and carbon reduction purchases. Telos has also already allocated the funds needed to continue sequestering the equivalent release of carbon by the blockchain into the future. The commitment made was to first neutralize the carbon footprint of the past and then to continue neutralizing the carbon footprint as needed. As a result, Telos will now be a Net Zero Layer 1 blockchain that is still ludicrously fast, inexpensive, not congested, credibly neutral, decentralized, easy to deploy on and free of any front running / MEV. “dApps now running on the tEVM will be running carbon neutral smart contracts by default. The same neutrality umbrellas over all the end users minting and trading NFTs or coins on the Telos Blockchain. There is something bigger than all of us to be said about this achievement!” AJ Dinger, Telos Head of Business Development In addition to offsetting the blockchain’s carbon footprint, Telos in conjunction with Plannet Zero, is in the final stages of meeting all carbon neutral requirements for Scope 1, Scope 2 and operational scope 3 emissions for every aspect of Telos, including Telos Foundation and Telos Core Development staff. The carbon offset will be all encompassing and will be in full compliance with BSI PAS 2060 and will be verified by BSI.
