RemoteWorx is the world's first digital wellbeing platform that helps remote, hybrid, and full-time in-office employees work and feel better. Available now, this revolutionary technology focuses on strengthening wellbeing essentials rather than just typical health tracking or mindless acts of recognition. RemoteWorx proactively inspires team members to improve communication, collaboration, and productivity while earning rewards. However, the real reward for employees is becoming healthier and happier individuals.
Here's how it works: RemoteWorx inspires team members to develop healthy habits, learn about health and wellness, improve communications, and genuinely connect with co-workers. The ultimate goal is to enhance employee wellbeing, which Gallup says is the "key" to workplace productivity. A dedicated Live RemoteWorx Coach is assigned to each client team, providing them with daily motivational support and real-time feedback. Employees earn points for their engagement in healthy actions and can redeem them in The Work+Life Shop, which RemoteWorx has fully integrated into its technology.
To earn rewards, employees can read guides and watch short videos about health and wellness-related topics. Every action a team member takes moves them closer to their daily progress goal, resulting in more points that they can redeem on curated and branded products, services, and experiences. (Users can also pay for items in The Work+Life Shop with conventional payment methods.) The result is a system that incentivizes employees to invest in themselves and improve their wellbeing, while benefiting their organization in the process.
By taking a holistic approach to wellbeing, RemoteWorx enhances productivity in many ways. Users can set "Break Timers" that remind them to take essential wellness breaks during the day. They can participate in a variety of fun challenges and are encouraged to support each other to earn additional incentives.
In addition to the dedicated Coach, a group of certified expert consultants review a team's activity levels and feedback to further promote a better work and life experience. As an integral part of the program, RemoteWorx provides updates and monthly reports with team analytics and actionable insights to enhance team success.
“We are excited to offer an employee wellbeing program that is proactively managed by real people - with benefits and Reward Points that are actually worth something," says Paul Narvaez, Co-Founder at RemoteWorx. "When your employees are happy and well, life is better for everyone, including your clients."

The healthcare cybersecurity vendor and advisory market is primed for huge expansion. Provider and payer IT professionals disclose strategic investments exceeding $140 billion through 2025.
NEW YORK, November 29, 2023 (Newswire.com)
-
The tenth annual Black Book Research "State of the Healthcare Cybersecurity Industry" report reveals insights received from 2,797 CISO, CIO, data security and patient data privacy professionals from 430 software, services, and consulting firms. Additionally, 1,959 healthcare consumers were polled to supplement external perceptions and confidence in their providers' and payers' efforts to protect their personal data.
The healthcare cybersecurity vendor and advisory market is primed for huge expansion, evidenced by provider and payer IT professionals disclosing strategic investments exceeding $140 billion through 2025, on the heels of intensifying cyberattacks on health systems and payers in Q4 2023.
The cost of ransomware attacks on U.S. healthcare providers reached $28.2 billion in 2022. Security breaches alone cost healthcare companies $7.3 trillion by the end of Q3 2023. Documented data breaches in medical practices and physician groups increased 72% from 2019 to 2022. Hospitals and health systems data breaches increased by 59% during the same four period. Eighty-two percent of IT managers assert that their organization has been hit with ransomware more than once in 2023.
Black Book's study revealed the average healthcare data breach costs $697 per record - the highest of any industry for 10 straight years. At more than four times the cross-industry average of $170 per record, cyber data security is one of the most critical concerns for both the provider and payer sectors.
In the associated Black Book survey of healthcare consumers, 91% of patients reported elevated anxiety from the potential misuse of their health information by external entities. With current security risks, 79% of consumers have apprehensions about electronically sharing their health data due to privacy concerns between providers' systems. The biggest red flags for healthcare consumers are based on their individual experiences with healthcare providers: only 8% have high confidence medical organizations are being completely compliant with HIPAA and data privacy regulations. Ninety-seven percent of healthcare consumers are also skeptical of how well government regulations protect their health data currently. Twenty-two percent of healthcare consumers would seek to switch to a provider that places a stronger emphasis on data privacy protection if there was a way to compare or confirm their respective provider's data protection technologies employed.
According to 90% of the chief information security officer respondents, software and services vendors are not taking adequate measures to ease the cybersecurity process or implementation complications and advance better healthcare industry user experience for provider clients.
Eighty-six percent of IT professionals in health plans agreed with the sentiments that data attackers are outpacing their organizations, holding payers at a continued disadvantage in responding to vulnerabilities in 2024.
"Most healthcare CISOs and CIOs have no choice but to leverage next-generation cybersecurity system tools and solutions in order to keep their organizations' data safe, but also to stay solvent in 2024," said Doug Brown, President of Black Book™. "The threat landscape in healthcare is fertile ground for malware, ransomware, breached records and patient privacy, phishing expeditions and cyberattacks with the adoption of telehealth and remote patient monitoring, in particular."
"The frank reality is that many cybersecurity solutions purchased before 2023 may already be outdated and deficient in combating developing hacks and breaches of 2024, and marginally performing hospitals face yet another threat to closure from related expenses and blows to the organization's reputation," said Brown. "The expanded use of remote access systems and virtual patient consultations serve as additional entry points into the healthcare tech platforms for cyberattacks."
Black Book Market Research LLC conducts polls and surveys with healthcare executives and front-line users about their current technology and service partners and awards top-performing vendors based on performance based on qualitative indicators of client experience and solution/service satisfaction and three indicators of customer loyalty. A fragmented mix of 430 vendors offering data security services, core products and solutions, software, consulting, and outsourcing received user feedback including large IT companies, mid and small security vendors, and start-ups in the polling period Q1 to Q4 2023
Black Book surveyed users of 25 categories of cybersecurity vendors, consultants, and advisors which produced the 2024 ratings of the highest-performing suppliers in healthcare. Full rankings of hundreds of vendors can be viewed at https://blackbookmarketresearch.com/health-data-security-and-privacy.

While conventional standard automated perimetry (SAP) is the cornerstone in glaucoma management, the conventional white-on-white perimetry can be challenging to pediatric patients. Technological advancements in virtual reality now allow for new approaches in visual field testing. The Olleyes VisuALL VRP is a VR visual field assessment system that permits binocularity while testing the visual fields and allows gamification of the testing paradigm. The purpose of the current study was to compare a game-based VR field (VRF) testing to conventional Humphrey visual field in a pediatric glaucoma population.
At Duke University Medical Center, all children (<21 years old) with known or suspected glaucoma under the care of one clinician (SFF) were enrolled prospectively from January 2022 to November 2022 and underwent a comprehensive eye examination, including intraocular pressure measurement, refraction, and stereo acuity testing. All participants attempted conventional HVF 24-2 SITA Fast protocol (size 3 stimulus), followed by the game-based version of VisuALL VRF 24-2 (size 3 stimulus) with foveal sensitivity.
In this study, it was demonstrated that the VisuALL VRF results are comparable to conventional HVF SAP and was well tolerated in the pediatric glaucoma population. From a clinical decision-making perspective, VRF demonstrated an excellent ability to identify the presence of both any field defect or sectoral field defect. VRF testing provides a suitable substitute for clinical practices without easy access to an HVF device and has the potential for future studies.
“It is great to see how the Olleyes VisuALL VRP can not only benefit adults but is an efficient tool to help ophthalmologists diagnose and manage the less served pediatric glaucoma patients,” shares Olleyes CEO, Dr. Alberto Gonzalez-Garcia. “This new testing paradigm opens up new frontiers in the management of kids with eye and neurologic conditions like brain tumors.”
About Olleyes
Olleyes is a privately held medical software company committed to developing efficient and productive diagnostic technology. Olleyes' life-transforming products are designed for the office and home evaluation of patients with eye diseases like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration.
