Chambers Plan and Arete Partner to Address Isolation and Loneliness with New Hugr App

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, April 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Chambers of Commerce Group Insurance Plan® (Chambers Plan) is excited to partner with Arete to bring more than 200,000 Canadians access to a leading-edge mental wellness app that’s designed to help people feel connected.

Hugr Authentic Connections offers users a personalized journey to help them measure feelings of connection, discover how to build and maintain authentic connections and regularly share how they’re feeling with those closest to them.

Loneliness and social isolation are serious health issues affecting many Canadians. One year ago, at the beginning of the pandemic, over 50% of Canadians reported experiencing social isolation and loneliness (Ipsos, 2020). As Canadians have become even more isolated, many are voicing concerns about how it is affecting their mental health. In 2020, almost half (47%) of Canadians reported their mental health as only fair, poor or very poor—a significant increase compared to the 30% who rated themselves this way in 2019. (Angus Reid Institute, 2020).

“Ensuring our members have access to quality mental health supports as part of a holistic health benefits program has always been a primary driver for us,” said Dave Angus, President of Johnston Group, the administrator of Chambers Plan. “We knew our members were feeling isolated and we were hearing stories about the immense impact it was having on their lives at home and at work. We needed to find a tool that could help.”

Different than other mental health apps, Hugr Authentic Connections, addresses the significant risks (Holt-Lunstad et al., 2010) that growing social isolation and loneliness have on our mental and physical health. Consultations with Arete (Chambers Plan’s assistance program partner) about this issue led to conversations with the Hugr team.

“We saw Hugr as a unique, evidence-based product that could fill the gap we were seeing in the digital mental health market,” said Allan Stordy, CEO at Arete. “It’s a compelling concept that addresses a major public health issue and we were thrilled to get Chambers Plan set up as an early adopter.”

Working with Dr. Bill Howatt—a renowned Canadian workplace mental health expert, researcher and author—the Hugr team set out to apply their lived experience to an established body of global research and evidence about the effects of social isolation and loneliness on mental health.

“This is the outcome of lived experience and a trying time for our small business,” said Daren McLean, co-founder of Hugr. “We wanted to use what we learned in order to help others, and we’re so proud to be able to do this through Hugr Authentic Connections.”

“In the process of writing my latest book, The Cure for Loneliness, I began to uncover the importance of social connections to our mental well-being,” said Dr. Bill Howatt, President and Founder of Howatt HR Consulting. “I think Hugr Authentic Connections is a perfect fusion of evidence-based supports and tools that helps individuals move away from isolation and loneliness and build authentic connections.”

Chambers Plan members and their dependents will enjoy premium features within their version of the Hugr Authentic Connections app. A free version of the app is also available to individuals through the App Store or Google Play.

Founders of the Negg® Egg Products Join Forces With Other Inventors and Connecticut Lawmakers in Increased Effort to Fight Online Counterfeiters

Female Business Owners Behind Airigan Solutions Working to Raise Awareness of Issues that Allow Counterfeiters to Prosper

SOUTHPORT, Conn., April 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The entrepreneurs behind the Negg® Egg Products, the world’s #1 egg peeler, today announced they are increasing their efforts to bring attention to the ongoing issue of counterfeit products available on online platforms. The founders of the Negg® are now working with legislators in Connecticut, an intellectual property law firm, and other small business owners to combat this issue. The group recently participated in a town hall dedicated to exploring the topic of protecting intellectual property.

“We believe it is our duty to help other small business owners who are trying to navigate the world of online counterfeits,” said Bonnie Tyler, CEO of Airigan Solutions, LLC and founder of the Negg® Egg Products. “For years, my business partner and I have tried to protect our patented egg peeler and it becomes more difficult as time goes on. It is our hope that by working together with lawmakers and other entrepreneurs we can continue to fight for change.”

Every hour a counterfeit is available online, it hurts authentic businesses’ bottom lines and reputations. Shoppers are being duped with fake products that don’t meet CPSC standards, FDA guidelines or live up to the claim and quality of the brand name merchandise.

Founders of the Rapid Slicer® and Orange Screw participated in the town hall alongside Tyler and Negg® co-founder Sheila Torgan to express their counterfeit concerns to Representatives Charles Ferraro, Cristin McCarthy-Vahey, Jennifer Leeber and Senator James Maroney.

“Our paid marketing assets are essentially free for counterfeiters to use,” said Cindy Fox, inventor of the Rapid Slicer®. “We don’t even know how much we’ve lost because of this problem, but we know it’s significant.”

The group discussed the financial impact the fake products continue to make on their businesses, and the emotional toll the process has then on them personally. Orange Screw Founder Kirby Erdely described the depth of the effect. “My wife’s hand – her wedding ring – is on the counterfeit packaging,” he said. “It involves my family, which hits too close to home.”

One of the main issues all entrepreneurs face is the shipping cost discrepancy. They find that counterfeiters overseas are able to send products to the United States for much cheaper than shipping domestically from one state to another.

For example, a Negg® is priced at $14.95 including shipping, which can be as low as $3.50 domestically. Because of the current postal agreements in place, if someone buys a fake Negg® from overseas, it would only cost them less than $8 in total for the product and shipping. The price point alone can convince a potential customer to purchase the counterfeit, taking business away from the authentic business.

“The U.S. Postal Service spends nearly a half of a billion dollars a year to subsidize the cost of the final-mile delivery services from China into the United States,” said Erdely. “What’s even more astonishing is that these packages go through customs without having an inspection. We just want a level playing field.”

A lawyer from Ference Law shared that online marketplaces don’t have the motivation to police online counterfeiters, so it’s up to the business owners. “When you buy online, you’re likely buying from a third-party seller,” said Managing Partner Stanley Ference. “All you need is an email address for third-party sales, so people overseas are able to easily infiltrate the American market and have access to the subsidized mailing rates.”

Small business owners would like for other countries to be fairly taxed on the shipping costs, which would ultimately deter their selling online.

“Our own product videos are pirated and used by those selling fake Neggs®. Instead of spending time marketing and building our business, we are embroiled in legal battles to take down counterfeiters,” said Tyler.

The business owners were proud to educate local legislators about these issues. The representatives are currently working to get them in contact with individuals at the federal level to continue the conversation and raise awareness.

Certification-Based Self-Paced On-Demand Continuing Education Program Includes Best Practices for Using Formal Verification

LONDON, April 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Axiomise, the leading provider of cutting-edge formal verification consulting, training, services, and IP, today unveiled a comprehensive introductory certification-based formal verification training program to further the adoption of formal for hardware verification and validation.

Formal Verification 101 is the only course to combine the three pillars of formal––theorem proving, model checking and equivalence checking––into a standalone, on-demand course that emphasizes an industrial application methodology.

With more than 50 modules, the course accelerates the learning curve for applied formal verification, leveraging best practices from experienced verification and education experts. The self-paced, introductory course is ideal for students in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering and Mathematics as well as digital designers and verification engineers working in the field of VLSI.

The continuing education training program has been field tested and constructed to lead a novice toward becoming a production-grade verification engineer. The course offers real-world, easy-to-understand examples and hands-on demonstrations using model checking, theorem proving and equivalence checking. It exposes common myths of formal verification and provides guidelines for successful adoption of formal in the industry.

“I’ve always said that achieving the ultimate goal of advanced formal signoff depends on about 20% tool and 80% skill,” remarks Harry Foster, chair of the IEEE 1850 Property Specification Language Working Group. “Yet, there has been a dearth of training material available that is essential for building expert-level formal skills. But not anymore! Dr Ashish Darbari has created the most comprehensive video course on the subject of applied formal methods that I have ever seen. This course should be required by any engineer with a desire to master the art, science, and skills of formal methods.”

As part of the program, Axiomise offers one-hour monthly teleconferencing sessions for networking and a question-and-answer session.

Students who complete the full course work and pass the final exam with 70% or greater grade will receive a certificate.

The course is meant for managers, verification engineers and semiconductor designers who want to add formal verification to their skillset, as well as students who plan to enter the semiconductor industry. The self-paced course should take approximately nine to 12 hours to complete and will be available online for lifetime access to students.

Health and Human Services Awards TeleTracking with Six-Month Task Order for Continued COVID-19 Capacity Reporting

PITTSBURGH, April 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) awarded TeleTracking a 6-month task order to continue collecting and reporting COVID-19 and health system capacity data from hospital and health systems across the United States. Since March 2020, TeleTracking has worked with the federal government to quickly provide public health officials with COVID-19 data consistently and transparently through HHS Protect. The collaboration has yielded greater visibility into the entire healthcare system which has empowered health experts to make better decisions about patient access and care.

“Over a year ago, TeleTracking joined the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic through our partnership with HHS. Our work with federal, state and local governments, and hospitals across the country to collect patient data has played a critical role in the nation’s response to this crisis,” said Chris Johnson, TeleTracking Co-CEO and President. “We are proud of what we have accomplished together and look forward to our continued work to confront the pandemic.”

TeleTracking led the data collection process for HHS Protect with a commercially available software solution that equipped health officials and policy makers with high-quality, accessible, and timely data about COVID-19 throughout the pandemic. 

This data provides nationwide visibility into important response areas such as hospital capacity, hospitalization levels, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) supplies, therapeutics usage, vaccinations, and staffing, as well as insight into critical capacity and supply issues.  This information has helped inform the federal government’s decisions on where and how to mobilize resources to assist on the front lines of pandemic response.

About TeleTracking

For every hour patients wait for care, they face objectively worse outcomes. TeleTracking believes it is unacceptable that patients are not able to access the care they need, when they need it, due to operating inefficiencies and unnecessary cost barriers. Our mission is simple, to ensure no one waits for the care they need. And that’s why more than a decade ago, TeleTracking recognized the significant benefits of a centralized approach to managing patient flow and has implemented more than one hundred health system command centers across the United States and United Kingdom. TeleTracking has delivered extraordinary outcomes for nearly three decades that have been the subject of study by KLAS, Gartner and the RAND Corporation.
