HashCash is Making Healthcare a Right, Not a Privilege for Refugees using Blockchain

In the recent times' general practitioners, specialized clinics, and hospitals are using different electronic record system which sadly offers incomplete visibility into the patients' database - this becoming the biggest drawback in the healthcare industry.

Blockchain offers a way of providing decentralized information without compromising security and integrity. One can find several health-focused blockchains which facilitates patient data from several digital storage systems, allowing medical experts to access it if only, permitted by the respective patient or the patient's family.

Hashcash, a blockchain technology company is planning to build a platform based on this technology which would facilitate the safekeeping of fragmented medical records of patients, aiming especially to help track refugees medical records. Unlike various other Blockchain based firms working to offer solutions in the health sector, HashCash too plans to utilize this technology to provide patients control over their medical history and treatment records in a more accurate manner, on one platform.

This California-based blockchain company is trying to achieve an innovative breakthrough by developing a blockchain powered space where large-scale data of patients can be collected and kept in a more secure way. The team of HashCash is planning to collaborate with several NGOs to get access to the medical history of refugees and migrants in Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, and Syria.

"We are joining hands with the humanitarian workforce and are in the process of developing a blockchain based electronic health system which will enable people to store their medical data on this network through their smartphones. The speed and accuracy of diagnosis of machine learning tools are much more advanced than humans. With the creation of this blockchain based platform database of people across the globe can be hard to access without prior permission from the concerned individuals." - Raj Chowdhury, MD of HashCash shares his views on keeping a track of the patients' database through blockchain in several refugee camps. Read all the latest news.

Refugees and migrants are voluntarily offering their health data to be stored in this network as it will be secured and they will have complete control over the permission rights. The platform by HashCash, based on blockchain technology, will allow people to grant or deny permission to use their health data stored on this platform, once it is completed.

Hashcash is aiming to achieve an overall digitized architecture based on blockchain that would facilitate piling putting together the fragmented data of refugees, migrants and patients in general in one place in a secured manner, giving them complete authority to use their health information for their benefits, as and when required.

Smallworks Press to Publish Burning Man Aerial Photography by Festival Co-Founder Will Roger Documenting Temporary City’s Evolution Year After Year in Nevada Desert

Smallworks Press, an independent publishing company specializing in limited edition, exquisitely-printed books focusing on contemporary art and culture, announced today that it has been selected to produce and distribute the highly-anticipated photography collection of Will Roger, a cultural co-founder of Burning Man. What started with a few people burning a human effigy on a San Francisco beach in 1986 has become a global phenomenon with an eight day event of more than 70,000 people and associated Burning Man regional events around the world. The temporary Black Rock City, located 100 miles northwest of Reno in Nevada's Black Rock Desert, is home to Burning Man, a festival dedicated to art, community, anti-consumerism and self-expression. The 2018 festival concluded on Labor Day weekend, Sept. 3. Continue reading.

Compass of the Ephemeral: Aerial Photography of Black Rock City through the Lens of Will Roger is scheduled for release in April 2019. The work includes a substantial collection of Roger's aerial photos chronicling the ever-changing cityscape and transformation of the temporary Black Rock City – complete with typical city infrastructure – and the innovative Burning Man art installations both of which are created and taken down year after year. The collection also includes interpretive essays by William L. Fox, director of the Nevada Museum of Art's Center for Art + Environment; Alexei Vranich, American archeologist at the University of California, Berkley; Tony "Coyote" Perez-Banuet, city superintendent of Black Rock City; and an introduction by Harley K. DuBois exploring the cultural context and impact of the Burning Man festival. Read all the related news.

"Burning Man is a blank canvas for people to come and create on," said Roger. "Burning Man creates a human empathy, then serendipity and creativity happens. Burning Man is the real world; everything else is the default world. People come away with changed lives and a changed culture because at Burning Man, everyone is human. . . there is no class, no color. You become family: human family, world family, global family."

"We could not be more delighted that Will Roger chose Smallworks Press as his official publisher," said James Stanford, founder and editor. "Since 2006, Smallworks Press has been producing exceptional visual and interpretive works that reflect the interconnectivity of art and community, a vision that Roger has made tangible each year for the past 14 years, by visually documenting the uniqueness of Burning Man and Black Rock City and by his involvement and contributions to the Burning Man culture and infrastructure."

Roger's autobiography, In Search of the Common Shaman, also will be released next year by Smallworks Press. The mystical memoir is not just the story of Roger's life, but it is also a reflection of the universal journey, the shared search for reconnection, and the moment of the, "re-wild and re-energization of the divine power that dwells inside us," as Roger describes it. Read latest news here.

His self-exploration is a powerful fusion of methods, ideas, and intentional mindsets seeking to revitalize the magic and mystical energy not only in his life, but within each person. Based upon the microcosm of personal experience, In Search of the Common Shaman explores more universal themes, combining enhanced connectedness, heightened experiences, and the intensified magical wonderment of life on earth.

Roger is a contributor to the current No Spectators: the Art of Burning Man exhibit at the Renwick Gallery at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. Among his pieces are aerial photographs of Black Rock City, including the cover photo of Compass of the Ephemeral: Aerial Photography of Black Rock City through the Lens of Will Roger. The exhibit features large-scale installations – the artistic hallmark of Burning Man – and other festival items and runs through Jan. 21, 2019. In conjunction with No Spectators: the Art of Burning Man, Roger was a featured speaker at the Sept. 14 symposium, Radical Inclusion and Tales from the Playa: Talks on Art, Inspiration, and the History of Burning Man. His presentation covered how Burning Man has become an iconic cultural phenomenon in such a short time and what's behind the development of Black Rock City.

About Will Roger
Will Roger discovered Burning Man in 1994, through his life partner Crimson Rose. Together and with several others, they are co-founders of Black Rock City, LLC, the company that has produced the Burning Man event for nearly 20 years. As a cultural co-founder of Burning Man, Roger also founded and managed the Black Rock City Department of Public Works – a team of several hundred people responsible for pre-event and post-event construction logistics and production. He is the co-founder of the Black Rock Art Foundation, a founding board member of Burning Man Project, and vice-president of Friends of the Black Rock/High Rock. Roger is heavily involved in conservation efforts for the Black Rock Desert, which is the United States' largest National Conservation Area (NCA), and which is home to the Burning Man event. He served as Chairman of the Sierra Front – North Western Great Basin – Resource Advisory Council (RAC), and is currently a member of the RAC NCA Subgroup.

Deloitte will also help the RiskBlock Alliance expand the consortium into Canada, the first piece of a planned international expansion. Over the next few months, and with Deloitte's strategic support, the RiskBlock Alliance will establish a legal entity in Canada and begin working with Canadian-based property-casualty and life/annuity insurers. The expansion will help the RiskBlock Alliance deliver scalable blockchain solutions across the global insurance industry.

The applications will address different aspects of the insurance transaction life cycle, ranging from underwriting to claims processing. Each new app will be provided via Canopy, the industry's first end-to-end reusable blockchain framework, and will focus on enhancing efficiency and lowering transaction costs for the benefit of policyholders. Canopy is being built exclusively for the RiskBlock Alliance on R3's Corda platform.

"Deloitte has established itself as a leader in blockchain and distributed ledger technology and has strong global relationships with both blockchain and insurance organizations," said Christopher G. McDaniel, president of The Institutes RiskBlock Alliance. "It's for those reasons that Deloitte makes an ideal collaborator for us as we build blockchain applications for the insurance industry around the world. We are excited to see what we can accomplish together."

"At Deloitte, we have 1,500 blockchain practitioners in 33 countries across 23 industries dedicated to discovering how distributed ledger technology can improve different areas of the economy. We're thrilled to have the opportunity to broaden our role globally and begin building concrete applications for the market." Read related news here.

Ted Epps, a principal with Deloitte Consulting LLP and insurance blockchain practice leader added: "The strategic value of the RiskBlock Alliance is its ability to connect a diverse set of insurance industry stakeholders through a shared network. The expansion effort our team at Deloitte is spearheading will accelerate the consortium's global reach and take blockchain to the next level in the insurance industry—and financial services more broadly."

The subrogation tool will be built by Deloitte and use smart contracts to facilitate the netting of members' payments and improve the efficiency of claims processing payment and accounting.

"The RiskBlock Alliance isn't concerned with theoretical experiments. We're completely focused on rapidly delivering real production applications to the industry," continued McDaniel.

VetStem Biopharma is Pleased to Announce that Dr. Andreana Lim of McGrath Veterinary Center is Now Offering VetStem Regenerative Cell Therapy

Dr. Andreana Lim became credentialed to perform VetStem Regenerative Cell Therapy in November 2017. Her first patient was a canine with arthritis in his knees and hips. He was initially treated with VetStem Regenerative Cell Therapy in July 2010 at a veterinary hospital in Hawaii. His owners recently relocated to California and sought another stem cell treatment with Dr. Lim of McGrath Veterinary Center.

As a courtesy, and because it was Dr. Lim's first stem cell treatment, VetStem organized to have an experienced stem cell provider, Dr. Jerrold Bausman, assist Dr. Lim with the procedure. Pulling from over ten years of experience utilizing VetStem Regenerative Cell Therapy, Dr. Basuman provided direction and problem-solving tips to help with joint injections, giving Dr. Lim added confidence to perform future stem cell treatments unassisted. Shortly after the procedure, Dr. Bausman reported that it went great and that Dr. Lim is a pro.

At the time of the treatment, Dr. Lim's patient had several therapeutic stem cell doses banked from his initial fat collection in 2010. Thus, she was able to simply request the doses and her patient did not have to undergo an additional fat collection procedure. Dr. Lim injected the dog's own stem cells into both of his knees as well as both hips. Approximately 50 days after his stem cell therapy, Dr. Lim reported that his owners noticed almost immediate improvement. His activity level had increased, he was less stiff, and he was able to take longer walks.

VetStem has provided training to perform VetStem Regenerative Cell Therapy for nearly 5,000 veterinarians across the United States and Canada, allowing for continued treatments to occur even if pet owners relocate. Over 14,000 patients have been treated utilizing the companies autologous stem cell service. VetStem Cell Therapy is currently indicated for the treatment of arthritis and soft tissue injuries in dogs, cats, and horses.

CelebExperts Launches Newly Rebranded Website with Advanced Celebrity Booking Features

CelebExperts, a celebrity & influencer booking agency, corporate consulting firm and global speakers bureau under one roof, is celebrating 10 successful years of being in business with a full mobile and desktop relaunch of it's wildly successful web portal, http://www.celebexperts.com. The company has enjoyed relationships with some of the biggest companies in the world including Microsoft, Mercedes-Benz, Smart for Life, StarShop, Subway, Got Milk, VISA and many other domestic and globally iconic brands.

CelebExperts has been the agency of choice for hundreds of startups and emerging brands since its launch in 2008. President & CEO Evan Morgenstein had a vision for the agency, "So many brands and companies are outsourcing to multiple agencies when it comes to securing keynote, inspirational and motivational speakers, celebrities and social media influencers for endorsement and PR campaigns, social media collaborations, corporate consulting and everything in between. I built CelebExperts with the vision that all of these can be done under one roof with one team that knows your business. It seems simple, but it really doesn't exist in the marketplace today."

In addition to rebranding the website to be much more mobile and user friendly, the company has invested in its database technology and Google pay-per-click campaigns to provide its existing customers a more enriched experience while showing new clients an easy way to find a sophisticated agency charging fees far less than the competitors in the marketplace. In a recent analysis between CelebExperts and several of the top celebrity booking agencies, CelebExperts was on average charging only 12.5% per booking where the others were charging 25% or more. This 50+% reduction comes with no loss of service or professionalism, just from its own profit margin which CelebExperts tends to regenerate through long-term relationships and multiple bookings with each client. In the last six months, CelebExperts has booked some of the biggest celebrity names in countries all over the world including technology speakers, women's empowerment speakers, business speakers, celebrity chefs, sports motivational speakers and more.

Additionally, CelebExperts has focused on its revamped Corporate Consulting division which Morgenstein will head up along with his team of industry veterans.

"We have worked with many of the best brands in the world across just about every category of company you can imagine," said Morgenstein. "There is so much new knowledge to share about social marketing and selling Direct to Consumers (D2C) with our clients. Our experience in building the brand with social media superstars, to executing programs for micro influencers give us a rare expertise in this industry which is known for only sporadic transactional selling and millions being lost on ineffective influencer collaborations and campaigns. 100% of my clients have some, if not a lot of exposure to influencer campaigns and social selling, and want CelebExperts to help them navigate the best practices for successful execution. We have a lot of proprietary answers."

About CelebExperts

CelebExperts is a leading consulting firm dedicated to demystifying the celebrity acquisition process and finding creative solutions to effectively market your brand leveraging the power of a celebrity. For more information on how your brand could utilize celebrity talent as a spokesperson for upcoming marketing campaigns or booking keynote speakers for your next event, please contact our team at consulting(at)celebexperts.com or give us a call at (919) 332-0584.

Localfit memberships are available for as little as $5.95 per month using the special promotional code LAUNCH-50 at checkout. With over 5,000 facilities available to Localfit members, Localfit grants members more exercise options than any "big-box" fitness chain.

On the heels of an extremely successful beta program implemented in the first half of the year along the East Coast, Localfit founder Rob Gilliam anticipates enormous support and demand for this exciting membership option. Read here.

"Our emphasis on quality control has resulted in a membership that offers access to the very best health clubs and studios across America," said Gilliam. "The value Localfit offers is amazing, some of these clubs would cost over $50 for a single-day pass without a Localfit membership."

Unlike MoviePass, Localfit's travel restrictions and ability to negotiate lower rates at high-use clubs has resulted in a business model that is both sustainable and profitable while still delivering members incredible value.

With launch underway, Localfit is currently looking to add additional health clubs and studios and is exploring the addition of experiential fitness excursions for greater appeal to a millennial audience.
