Exciting to see the impact Cytovale's #sepsis diagnostic tool is having on both patients and hospitals like Louisiana-based Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center. Thanks to Chris Cheney for sharing this important story! #precisionmedicine #sepsisawareness

Ask any parent and they’ll tell you how it makes them feel when a family, friend or stranger offers unsolicited medical or discipline-related advice. For parents of a child with #ADHD, #autism, Tourette’s or other learning disabilities, it can be especially frustrating and even hurtful. This is a MUST listen show featuring a heartfelt story from the mother of a #neurodivergent child and industry experts including RethinkCare's Dr. Angela Nelson about what NOT to say to parents of kids with learning disabilities. #learningdisabilities #neurodiversity

Congrats to Geoffrey Lucks, Timothy Boire and the entire team at VenoStent, Inc. on securing an NIH grant, along with an additional $4M in funding, led by Norwest Venture Partners, to round out the company's $20M Series A. #chronickidneydisease #dialysis

Having a nephew with autism, I know firsthand the challenges parents, teachers and providers face trying to determine the best course of intervention to address the unique needs of each individual diagnosed - because no two cases of autism are the same. Unfortunately, autism care is at a major crossroads: clinician shortages, lack of industry-wide standards and a fee-for-service model are creating care inconsistencies that often result in sub-optimal outcomes. RethinkFirst’s CEO and cofounder, Daniel A. Etra, sat down with Eric Fethke, MD on the Pursuit of Health Podcast to talk about the state of autism care and the vital role technology and data are playing in helping all stakeholders create more informed and personalized intervention plans, with the ability to actually measure what’s working and what isn’t. #autism #developmentaldisabilities #autismcare https://lnkd.in/enJJHEY9

Before we started working with Cytovale, I thought I knew what sepsis is. But like many people, I had no idea what the difference is between sepsis and infection - or how quickly a patient can take a turn for the worse if sepsis isn't diagnosed early. Cytovale's chief medical officer, Robert Scoggins, MD, PhD sat down with The Pursuit of Health Podcast host, Eric Fethke, MD to explain what sepsis is in simple terms, why it's so difficult to diagnose, and how technology is helping to tackle this condition that kills 250,000 Americans annually. #sepsis #patientcenteredcare

Excited to share that Norwest Venture Partners has closed a $3 billion global fund to invest across enterprise, consumer and healthcare sectors! Terrific article from Fortune Term Sheet's Allie Garfinkle on the firm's evolution and unique approach to investing. Congrats to the entire team! #venturecapital #growthequity #privateequity

Congratulations to the entire team at AccessHope on the close of its $33M Series B funding from world-renowned cancer institution, City of Hope. Where a person lives should not determine the quality of care they receive. But companies like AccessHope are changing that - enabling access to the latest cancer research, expertise and treatment to patients living with #cancer - regardless of their zip code. Proud to be working with this incredible organization! #CancerCare #healthinvestments

Eye opening interview with Cytovale's chief medical officer Robert Scoggins, MD, PhD on the prevalence of #sepsis. Despite its high mortality rate and financial impact on hospitals, there are no standard protocols in place to quickly - and objectively - diagnose and triage those patients that are potentially septic. Dr. Scoggins stresses the importance of continual training and having an active sepsis management program that’s supported by hospital administrators. #DarwinResearchGroup, #HealthCareRounds #sepsisawareness https://lnkd.in/epbwYeSH

Businesses have been struggling to keep employees engaged for years - even before Covid-19. And despite the billions of dollars invested each year to help turn the tides, many companies are experiencing little improvement. In this Employee Benefit News article, RethinkFirst's Angela Nelson, Ed.D., BCBA provides insight on an often-overlooked area that may be the root cause of low engagement for many employees: #executivefunctioning. She discusses what employers can do to identify and address this skills gap to build more productive and happier workforces. #employeeengagement #employeeempowerment RethinkCare
