Plato AI

Smarturl: https://ffm.to/nutshell Onalaska, WI, April 26 2024 - Coming off a huge moment with her last single “Covering Faces”, vocal sensation Carlie Hanson pays homage to the late lead vocalist, Layne Staley and Alice in Chains with her mesmerizing rendition of their classic hit “Nutshell”. This release falls on the anniversary of Layne’s passing. This song offers a fresh perspective on the beloved grunge anthem, infusing it with her signature blendof raw emotion and musicalprowess. This year also happens to be the 30 th anniversary of Jar of Flies, which Carlie alluded to on the album cover! “I grew up listening to all kindsof sick ass music. I remember my mom and sister blastingAlice In Chains on long driveswhen I was like 10. Not up until recentlydid I fall down a rabbit-hole of everything they have out there. Their MTV unplugged stunned me. I was so blown away and inspired to cover “Nutshell” in remembrance of Layne and Kurt. I want to thank Layne's sweet momma for allowing this to happen. I'm excited for the world to hear my lil version.” Carlie Hanson's version of "Nutshell" is set to be a standout release offering young listeners a new gateway to a timelessclassic. Carlie teamed up with Cover Nation toexclusively premiere Carlie live performance of the new single. The legendary Layne Staley’s mother, Nancy McCallum met Carlie and had some very kind words to say: “It is wonderful to see Layne'smusic live on with all generations, and the underlying message in his music continue to have such profound effects. As Layne would say, 'I would love to be able to hug you all.'" - Nancy McCallum / Layne’s Mom. Words and Lyrics by Layne Staley Publishing: Primary Wave Music Publishing We chase misprinted lies We face the path of time And yet I fight And yet I fight This Battle All Alone No one to cry to No place to call home My gift of self is raped My privacy is raked And yet I fight And yet I fight Repeating in my head If I can’t be my own I’d feel better dead For more information, press inquiries, or interview requests, please contact: Jenn Hurst / SVP of Talent Management jenn@mddn.co About CarlieHanson: With each emotional, introspective song she shares with the world,Carlie Hanson revealsa little more of the out-of-placeness that has dominated her headspace over the last few years.That foggy feelingthat’s all-consuming hangs heavy over the 23-year-old singer/songwriter's sophomore album Wisconsin, a deeply personal collection of songs detailing the homesickness that has plagued her since moving to Los Angeles from the home state that gives the record its title. LaCrosse, Wisconsin is where Hanson fell in love with music. Her sister blasted Avril Lavigne and Evanescence in the car, and she grasped that at a young age As that love of music deepened, she recorded herselfsinging in her car, and, to her astonishment, it went viral. Producers took interest and she recordedsome demos, like “Only One," which Taylor Swiftincluded on her list of favorite songs in 2017. At 17, Hanson moved to Los Angeles. Despite early success with self-released EPs and her acclaimed debut album, Tough Boy, she felt out of place. Changing the trajectory of your career is a process, and Hanson documents much of it in Wisconsin. There are, however, glimmers of hope. The title track, for example, is about recalibrating how she feels about moving across the country. As Hanson becomesmore confident in her artistry,she brings a little piece of the Midwest to Los Angeles, song by song.

As such, the company’s AI model caters to the demands of healthcare professionals and patients. BEN believes that its AI could be useful to over 145,000 organizations within the healthcare space, and the company is looking to offer solutions to human error and burnout across a variety of healthcare industry operators including hospitals, pharmacy networks and payors.

AmeriLife’s The Senior Resource Group Partners with Bobby Brock Insurance and Camas Prairie Insurance to Transform Medicare Choice

AmeriLife

The Senior Resource Group, (SRG), a leading, national field marketing organization (FMO) for the industry’s leading insurance carriers and an affiliate of AmeriLife Group, LLC (“AmeriLife”), announced today that it has entered into a partnership with Bobby Brock Insurance (BBI), a leading national health insurance agency and founding sponsor of MedicareCon, a highly regarded annual Medicare and health insurance conference for licensed and entrepreneurial health insurance agents. In a separate but related deal, SRG also welcomed Camas Prairie Insurance (CPI), a central Idaho-based, family owned and operated health insurance agency and downline partner of Bobby Brock Insurance (which will continue to operate as such). Per both agreements, terms were not disclosed. “We are so excited to partner with the Bobby Brock Insurance and Camas Prairie Insurance teams,” said Shane Souders, co-founder of The Senior Resource Group. “[BBI CEO] Justin is a trusted voice for the Medicare broker community and an incredible business leader, while [CPI owner] Josh Lustig is a great young leader and one of the best sales trainers and motivators in the business today. SRG, BBI and CPI, with the support of AmeriLife, are aligned with complementary skillsets that will make us one of the most dynamic Medicare agency partnerships in the country.” Founded by Bobby Brock in 1992, Bobby Brock Insurance operates as a national brokerage firm and call center that specializes in ACA plans for the under-65 market, Medicare Supplement plans, Medicare Part D plans, and Medicare Advantage. In 2014, Bobby Brock’s son and the company’s current CEO, Justin Brock, left the Marine Corps to pursue a career as a licensed Medicare agent. The younger Brock saw a need to breathe fresh air into the marketing, service, and team building aspect of the industry, and quickly established a thriving culture and expanded value proposition for both agents and consumers with the concepts he learned as an Operator in the Marine Corps. Soon thereafter, he acquired his father’s book of business along with a number of other agencies, consolidating them under the Bobby Brock name in honor of his father. Today, Bobby Brock Insurance is setting the industry standard. In 2023, it was named to the prestigious Inc. 5000 list as one of the fastest-growing private companies by revenue in the United States. The company has also won multiple industry awards for its one-stop insurance agency solution, GoGuru, and has become prolific in its use of social media to promote and foster the sharing of information between agents and brokers. “Our industry needs agents and brokers to focus on consumers’ needs first,” said Justin Brock. “If we can work towards an environment that rewards quality outcomes while creating efficiencies that allow our sales representatives to replicate the process often and with ease, we can prove that there is no better distribution model than through licensed life and health insurance agents. We are confident that our synergies with AmeriLife, SRG, and CPI will amplify our ability to achieve that goal.” Camas Prairie Insurance, a family-run, health brokerage established in 1996 by Dominic and Gina Lustig, primarily focuses on the Medicare and health insurance market. The company has experienced rapid growth over the past several years under the leadership of owner and CEO Josh Lustig, building upon a foundation centered on its “just do the next right thing” approach and an intense focus on educating clients on their health care needs. “This partnership is a watershed moment in Camas Prairie Insurance’s history,” said Josh Lustig, who is also the founder of Thrive, a personal and business development seminar program focused on helping agents grow their business. “I truly believe that, together, we are building something incomparable in our space for today’s individual agent and agency owner, and I couldn’t ask for better partners on this journey than Shane, Justin, Bobby Bache and the entire team at AmeriLife.” Now, as part of the AmeriLife family of companies, Bobby Brock Insurance and Camas Prairie Insurance will gain access to one of the industry’s largest independent health distribution platforms and a growing suite of products and solutions that is setting a standard for excellence in the industry. “Today is an incredible day for The Senior Resource Group and AmeriLife,” said Scotty Elliott, Chief Distribution Officer of Health for AmeriLife. “I couldn’t be more excited to welcome two companies of their reputation and caliber to our growing distribution network. Together, our opportunities for growth are limitless.” “One of the reasons I partnered with AmeriLife as an affiliate back in 2020 was for this very reason: to get to work with not only the best people in the industry, but people that have been my friends for years,” added Bobby Bache, vice president of Health Distribution for AmeriLife. “I’m thrilled to welcome Justin and Josh to AmeriLife and look forward to helping grow their respective businesses in new and exciting ways.” Bobby Brock Insurance and Camas Prairie Insurance will continue to operate as stand-alone businesses out of their Tupelo, Miss., and Grangeville, Idaho offices, respectively, under the leadership of Brock and Lustig, who will be supported by Souders. ### About The Senior Resource Group The Senior Resource Group was founded in 2008 by insurance brokers who understand the needs of agents in the field.

Amplifier Security emerges from stealth to bridge divide between the workforce and security with AI copilot and human-in-the-loop automation

Amplifier Security

Security teams rely on an ever-growing stack of security tools to keep their organization safe. Yet, coverage gaps and alerts across these tools do not get proper and timely attention because of the difficulty engaging company employees busy with their daily work to fix them. Today, Amplifier Security has launched from stealth with a $3.3m investment and the industry’s first AI-powered human-in-the-loop automation and security copilot that connects the dots between an organization’s existing security stack and their people. The pre-seed funding round was led by Cota Capital with participation from WestWave Capital and Shift Left Ventures, and included angel investments from industry luminaries and founders of Slack, MobileIron, Centrify, PeopleNet, Skyflow and Mercury. Enforcing security controls through automation gets pushback from users whose work is disrupted, for example, when a security patch update forces a system reboot during a critical workstream. Triaging security tool alerts means closing the loop with the end user to determine true versus false positives before taking disruptive actions - a truly burdensome process for everyone. Security teams do their best to navigate this complex situation — but it often leads to a strained relationship with the workforce. The Amplifier Security solution extends the value and effectiveness of existing security tools by empowering the entire company to work together towards a much faster response time that dramatically increases the security health and culture of an organization. Amplifier provides an engagement layer between existing security tools and the workforce through Ampy - a trusted copilot that acts as an AI security buddy who helps employees understand the risk they are creating for the organization and solves their security issues while balancing their productivity. Building on the experiences people are used to, for example with credit card companies verifying suspicious transactions, Ampy engages with employees, guiding them through security protocols based on real-time insights. This approach not only speeds up response times but also significantly boosts an organization's security posture by involving employees directly in the security process. Amplifier integrates with and enhances the effectiveness of existing deployed tools like identity security, MFA, endpoint security, vulnerability scanning and management, SaaS and cloud security, SIEM and security training; and makes adaptive human protection a reality for organizations. Ampy is backed by Amplifier’s human-in-the-loop automation platform, composed of a security data fabric, security hub and engagement studio. The platform integrates into all corporate security tools and normalizes data across those tools to contextualize and prioritize security risks and vulnerabilities. It then helps organizations translate those findings into actionable remediation engagements through Ampy. Amplifier helps every CISO, departmental leaders and individuals understand their security posture through intuitive personalized health scores and dashboards. It enables security teams with enforcement of 100% security tooling coverage across every employee and offloads countless hours of manual work to correlate data in spreadsheets, chasing down employees to triage alerts, getting users to maintain their security hygiene. Cal Henderson, co-founder of Slack: “The way we operated our corporate security engineering program closely aligns with the design principles at the core of Amplifier Security's vision. I’m a firm believer that engaging the workforce for security automation with a productivity platform like Slack is the only modern way to solve today’s dynamic cybersecurity threat landscape.” Amplifier Security was founded by Shreyas Sadalgi, CEO and Thomas Donnelly, CTO and President, who both have two decades of experience in enterprise security, IT and automation. Donnelly is a three-time CISO and CIO with over a decade of experience leveraging human-centric approaches and technology that transformed security in organizations. He firmly believes that in today’s dynamic and decentralized workplaces, CISOs need to completely rethink how their teams operate by allowing users to self heal their own security issues. Rather than security operating in the background and interrupting employee productivity at inopportune times, Amplifier delivers an incredible user experience that drives everyone in the workforce to participate in their own security. “There is a massive gap in the market that is preventing security practitioners from being successful. Most security tools aren’t built to engage users, as they’re always meant to work in the background.” said CEO and co-founder, Shreyas Sadalgi “Amplifier flips the script by engaging employees on behalf of all security tools in a more human-friendly way, where every end-user interaction is a two-way conversation with the right tonality, context, empathy and actionable information based on the security finding and the user role. Our vision is to shift the cybersecurity focus to include both technology and the people who use it, creating a balanced and more secure environment for businesses.” Gaurav Manglik, Partner at WestWave Capital commented: “The lack of human engagement in security automation is a missed opportunity to educate people on the why behind the risk of each security finding. Because of today’s hybrid and dynamic workplaces where everyone is moving fast in the spirit of hyperproductivity, this problem has become harder to solve at scale. After assessing the market for many years, Amplifier has done the best execution we’ve seen from a product and team perspective thus far.” Aditya Singh, Partner at Cota Capital added: “Security is fundamentally about both people and technology, yet the industry has largely built security tools focused solely on the technology element. Everyone knows that when it comes to cybersecurity in workplaces, engaging humans is the biggest opportunity. Amplifier answers the bell with its unique human-in-the-loop solution. We believe they are uniquely positioned to turn this trend into a movement that forward-thinking CISOs will embrace so that they can more efficiently and effectively manage enterprise security.” Amplifier has been engaged with security teams at over 15 companies as its marquee design partners; many who have been using its product in private betas and seeing daily value — hours saved every week toiling in spreadsheets, quick identification of tooling gaps in their environments, and the ability to self-heal common security issues. “Most organizations haven’t significantly changed their approach to threat management – keeping the old silos between those responsible for security monitoring and those responding to the rest of the employee base.” said Steve Mancini, Head of Security at Guardant Health. “Security teams can no longer operate this way. Security has to be embedded in every function, and that means empowering all employees to participate in security. Even with all the security automations, our employees are the best sensors of the unusual or anomalous at every level of our business. They enable us to quickly get context when we notice suspicious behavior and identify incidents faster based on their proactive observations.” Shawn Bass, ex-CTO, VMware End User Computing: “Most often humans in the workforce are not intentionally violating security practices maliciously. Often they're just trying to be as productive as possible and sometimes the Security and IT operations best practices are perceived to be getting in the way of that. Security teams struggle to solve these last mile problems because of the highly nuanced and manual effort it takes to loop in their workforce to fix tooling related problems. Amplifier is innovating on this hard unsolved problem, by empowering humans to participate and collaborate with security teams to triage and fix issues, all while having great productivity.” About Amplifier Security Amplifier Security enables companies to harness the power of AI and their workforce to secure their business. Its flagship product, Amplifier, is the industry’s first AI-powered human-in-the-loop automation and security copilot that connects the dots between your people and your existing security tools, so you can quickly address the most critical issues without harming productivity.

As the Use of AI In Healthcare Grows, Cardio Diagnostic Is Using It In Quest to Help Prevent Cardiovascular Disease

Cardio Diagnostics Holdings, Inc

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga In the United States, one person dies from cardiovascular disease every 33 seconds, and nearly one in every four deaths is attributed to heart disease. It is the leading cause of death for men, women and people of most racial and ethnic groups across the board. In 2021, cardiovascular disease cost the U.S. approximately $219 billion and those numbers are only expected to go up if nothing changes. Fortunately, many of the deaths associated with heart disease are preventable if health professionals are able to leverage modern technology to educate and treat effectively. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study and the Global Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases Collaboration have provided valuable perspectives on the urgency of developing comprehensive strategies to address these risks and enhance public health. According to Gregory A. Roth, MD, MPH, the senior author of the paper, associate professor in the Division of Cardiology, and director of the Program in Cardiovascular Health Metrics at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, "Cardiovascular diseases continue to pose a persistent challenge, resulting in a significant number of premature and preventable deaths." Combining advanced clinical diagnostic solutions with digital health, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and value-based care initiatives can accelerate how organizations tackle cardiovascular disease. How AI Can Be Instrumental In The Fight Against Heart Disease In 2023, the market for AI in healthcare was forecasted to reach $20.65 billion, and it is predicted to reach $187.95 billion by 2030. This is not surprising to most because the implementation of AI in healthcare has brought about a transformative shift in the industry, enabling a personalized approach to patient care. AI algorithms can effectively handle and analyze extensive medical data, including epigenetic, genetic information and DNA-based biomarkers. Healthcare providers now have the capability to make precise and personalized treatment choices, taking into account an individual's specific biology, which ultimately enhances patient outcomes. By utilizing AI-powered systems, patterns can be identified, potential health issues can be predicted, and real-time monitoring can be conducted, facilitating early intervention and preventive measures. Cardio Diagnostics Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDIO), an artificial intelligence-powered precision cardiovascular medicine company, is one company leading the charge in developing solutions to combat cardiovascular disease. Both the mission and capabilities of Cardio Diagnostics align with the healthcare sector's demands for leveraging cutting-edge molecular and AI technologies to drive preventive care, earlier disease detection, and chronic disease management. By employing AI and machine learning, the company can help empower healthcare providers to proactively identify high-risk populations and intervene early, leading to enhanced health outcomes and cost reductions across a broad spectrum of organizations. How The Use of Telemedicine Is Making Care More Accessible To All Communities COVID-19 dramatically changed the landscape of telehealth, and four years after the pandemic began, it looks like telehealth is here to stay. In 2023, MGMA Stat did a poll with medical group leaders to get an understanding of the current landscape of telehealth – 45% believed telehealth demand would remain mostly the same, while 27% of respondents said they expected an increase. Telemedicine capabilities have been especially helpful in rural areas that had been experiencing physician shortages before the pandemic. In rural communities, Cardio Diagnostics makes specialty cardiovascular care accessible. The divide between urban and rural healthcare options can be bridged by deploying innovative solutions. When provider organizations and employers in rural settings adopt Cardio’s solutions, which couple telehealth to advanced AI-powered DNA tests, they can drive access to highly accurate diagnostics without extensive travel or the need for specialized infrastructure. The company's solutions enhance accessibility and convenience while optimizing specialty care for patients in underserved communities where travel distances and limited access to healthcare facilities present roadblocks to timely medical attention. Cardio Diagnostics empowers healthcare organizations by enabling primary care physicians to identify cardiovascular risk and status upstream before specialty cardiology becomes necessary, ultimately delivering value-based care. The Future Of Healthcare As cardiovascular disease remains a major concern for doctors and families, modern technology must evolve how we approach prevention and treatment. Companies like Cardio Diagnostics are key to bringing AI into the fold while using digital health technologies such as telemedicine to expand healthcare possibilities and provide value-based care.
