New Research Shows Technology Reduces In-person Visits During Pregnancy

Babyscripts, the leading virtual care platform for managing obstetrics, reduces in-person prenatal care visits while maintaining patient and provider satisfaction, according to research published today by physician researchers from the George Washington University (GW). The paper, "A Mobile Prenatal Care App to Reduce In-Person Visits: Prospective Controlled Trial," was published in JMIR mHealth and uHealth.

The study included two groups with a total of 88 participants, with one group prescribed the Babyscripts program to manage their pregnancy. Eligible participants were pregnant women between the ages of 18 and 40 considered to be low-risk: that is, a singleton pregnancy with no previous diagnosis of hypertension, diabetes, renal disease, collagen vascular disease, maternal substance abuse, or other previously documented condition that could potentially lead to a poor pregnancy outcome. Despite significant differences in the amount of face to face visits with their providers — patients who used the Babyscripts program saw their OBGYN an average of 7.8 times while patients who did not use Babyscripts saw their OBGYN an average of 10.2 times — there was no statistical difference in patient or provider satisfaction in either group.

"The positive results of this study are a huge validation of our belief in the power of technology to support mothers and providers without compromising quality, " said Anish Sebastian, co-founder and CEO of Babyscripts. "This research shows that mobile health has the potential to deliver precision care to mothers while allowing providers to allocate time to the most vulnerable of their patients, and ultimately save lives."

Kathryn Marko, MD, first author of the paper and assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences, echoed these statements: "Prenatal care is one of the most widely utilized preventative health care services, however there is little research on the effectiveness of standard prenatal care," said Marko. "We wanted to reevaluate the model for low-risk pregnancies and see if a mobile prenatal app could remove barriers to access and reduce the burden on patients and the health care system."

"Pregnancy looks different for every mother, but prenatal care is still being delivered through a one-size-fits-all-approach — even though it has nonsignificant effects on outcomes and leaves massive gaps in care," said Juan Pablo Segura, President and co-founder of Babyscripts. "We saw the ways that mobile tech was transforming disease management, and applied the same concepts to pregnancy care. We developed Babyscripts to disrupt the outdated template model, and this research study shows that our vision for risk-specific, continuous care through tech works."

In addition to Marko and Meltzer, the GW research team included Nancy D. Gaba, MD, chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology; Nihar Ganju, MD, director of digital health at Advantia Health; Joshua J. Benham, MD, physician at Sutter West Bay Medical Group; and Lorna M. Richards, MA, clinical research director at Inova Health System.

Babyscripts has spent the last four years building a clinically-validated, virtual care platform to allow OBGYNs to deliver a new model of prenatal care. Using internet-connected devices for remote monitoring, Babyscripts offers risk-specific experiences to allow providers to manage up to 90% of pregnancies virtually, allowing doctors to detect risk more quickly and automate elements of care.

About Babyscripts

It's the first mobile, clinical solution to provide remote monitoring of an obstetrician's patient population while directly improving patient satisfaction and practice reimbursement.

With his keen sensitivity and special abilities to help find missing animals, Todd Segal is the ultimate "pet detective".

But pets are only one aspect to his unique service. Todd is a reader for the prestigious Edgar Cayce Foundation in Virginia Beach, VA https://www.edgarcayce.org/ and as a psychic detective, he handles high profile and serious crime investigations. He uses his unique abilities to see, feel, hear and sense the energy of physical locations remotely from hundreds of miles away. Todd works on location, using his mediumship skills to connect with the deceased on investigations, and to uncover the history of the occupants of a particular place. Read latest news here.

According to Todd, "I've always been sensitive to the energy of a place and its people. As I grew up, I found that leading a quiet, rural life and raising animals has helped to nurture my psychic abilities. As I tested my intuition my visions became stronger and clearer, prompting me to offer my investigative services. I've made a name for myself as a psychic medium who pushes the boundaries and opens doors for people to move forward in their lives. I help to bring real proof to the public eye."

Todd has been featured in The Best Psychic Directory, a website for psychics and mediums created by author and TV detective Bob Olson. https://bestpsychicdirectory.com/ Segal has since become one of the most sought-after pet rescuers listed on many missing pet organization pages, and is used by K-9 trackers.

Rockler Introduces Three Turning Kits for Garden Tools - Kits Feature Heavy-Duty Steel Hardware with Matte Finish

Rockler Woodworking and Hardware has introduced three new turning kits that enable anyone who can use a lathe to craft custom, heirloom-quality garden tools. Be alert to the latest news.

Users turn a handle from their choice of material to attach to the hardware to create a garden Trowel, Transplanter or three-pronged Cultivator. The hardware is made from heavy-duty hardened steel with a matte black oxide finish, and the ends of the tools are set at an angle to the handles for good ergonomics. Click here.

"We know how passionate people can be about gardening, and we wanted to create garden tool turning kits worthy of that passion," said Steve Krohmer, Rockler's vice president of product development. "This hardware is made to stand up to regular use, with a heft and finish found in upscale garden tools. When you add a custom turned handle, you get one-of-a-kind tools that are a pleasure to use or to give as gifts."

More info here.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/neosante-delictase-oral-drops-lactase.html

The Trowel features a 6" long by 2-3/4" wide curved blade for general gardening and working with medium-sized plants. The Transplanter has a narrower, more tightly curved blade with engraved inch and centimeter markings up to 4" (10cm) for transplanting to precise depths. With its three pointed tines, the Cultivator is designed for loosening soil for planting, removing weeds and small-scale aeration.

The minimum recommended turning blank size is 1-1/2" by 1-1/2" by 6" long, and a 21/64" diameter x 2-1/2" long hole is required in one end to accommodate the mounting post.

The Trowel Turning Kit (55907), the Transplanter Turning Kit (50488) and the Cultivator Turning Kit (53723) are priced at $19.99 each.

Unique Award Honors 12 Percent of High Schools in 25 States that Prepare Students for College Success

GreatSchools.org is proud to announce the winners of the 2019 College Success Award, which recognizes and celebrates 1,722 high schools in 25 states around the country that excel in ensuring students are prepared for college and ultimately careers. [1] These schools successfully graduate students who are prepared for college-level courses, enroll in two- or four-year colleges and persist into their second year, according to available data from each state. Read here.

Last year, the inaugural College Success Award recognized schools in only nine states based on the availability of post-secondary data.

"We're gratified that an additional 16 states have made available the school-level post-secondary data that makes the College Success Award possible," said Jon Deane, CEO of GreatSchools.org. "These 25 states are true leaders and recognize that post-secondary school-level data is critical for identifying successful schools—and enabling educators and other schools to learn from their promising practices. We encourage every state to join this movement to give schools, parents, educators, and policymakers the information they need and deserve to help students succeed in college and beyond." Read all the related news.

With the 2019 College Success Award, GreatSchools.org offers a view of whether a high school provides opportunities for all students to prepare for, enroll in and succeed in college. The Award helps us understand whether a high school achieves favorable results for students—regardless of their background and circumstances—when they leave high school and head to college. The 1,722 schools represent only 12 percent of all public high schools in the 25 states—in an economy where a majority of all jobs are projected to require a post-secondary degree by 2020. [2]

"Our nation's high schools play a critical role in setting students up for future success," said Kevin Greer, Partner, Learn to Earn Fund at New Profit, which is part of a consortium of funders providing support for the College Success Award. "That's why we must understand which schools are excelling on this front, learn from them and celebrate them— especially those schools that do a great job of preparing students from low-income families to succeed in college." Read latest news here.

"We are honored to be named a winner of the 2019 GreatSchools.org College Success Award," said Dr. Linda Gallegos, principal at Veterans Memorial Early College High School in Brownsville, Texas. "Many of our students come from difficult circumstances, and we know how important it is to expose them to the experiences and opportunities that will equip them to excel in college, careers and beyond. We're thrilled that GreatSchools.org has recognized our focus on preparing our youth for success, and we look forward to continuing to guide our students on pathways to rewarding futures."

Toadys Meet Their Masters with New App from Marvel Founder

The makers behind Toadys are thrilled to share news of the recent release of the app that was created to change the way influencers interact with their toadys, otherwise known as superfans.

Toadys fills a void for influencers, helping them monetize the time they spend interacting with their followers. Each of these power-players can create a Toadys account through the app that allows them to set pricing terms for in-app fan interaction features, like texting, video calls, and live feed access. Fans can purchase Toadys tokens to redeem through pay-per-minute or –text exchanges with their favorite influencers – giving them guaranteed access in a way not possible with traditional social media.

"A couple of years ago, I saw the value in the content that so many influencers were putting out into the world – and in reality, only a small percentage of them are getting paid. They have a lot to offer, and I know I'd pay to talk to them," shared Toadys' founder and CEO, Sky Rota.

Rota is new to the app world, but he's run several business ventures that paint him as an authority in the social sphere. After creating SkyCars.com, and authoring two books, Rota founded GenZInsider – a resource for Generation Z and beyond. One of the services offered through the site, Gen Z Consulting, allows brands to pick the brains of Generation Z, including Rota himself – who is only 15-years-old. Rota's resume is remarkable for his age, especially when accounting for the tremendous challenges he's faced as a student with dyslexia.

Rota said, "I learn in a different way, which means I process the world differently. I sometimes notice where something is missing, and if I can figure out a way to fix it, I'm driven to do that. That's how Toadys was built. I saw a hole in influencer communication, and I worked to fill it."

The Toadys app is available for download in the iTunes App Store and through Google Play.

Interested parties can learn more about Toadys by contacting Angela at (856)685-9234 or Angela@toadys.com.

About Toadys

Toadys is the app that lets influencers connect with their toadys on a more personal, and rewarding (in more ways than one), level. Toadys is where these powerful voices can monetize the time they spend interacting with superfans, and in return, their toadies get guaranteed access to their favorite internet personalities for a small fee. The Toadys team is dedicated to helping children who learn differently, so a portion of Toadys' proceeds goes towards providing classrooms with assistive technology that helps mend the gaps in the current educational system.
