"React19" partners with closed-loop care coordination and referral platform "CrossTx" and biomedical-focused media network "TrialSite" to develop the first ever provider, social supports, and mental health network for the vaccine-injured across the United States with an eye on international expansion.

BOZEMAN, Mont., March 31, 2023 (Newswire.com) - CrossTx, a leading healthcare technology company headquartered in Bozeman, Montana, and React19, a science-based non-profit offering financial, physical, and emotional support for those suffering from long-term COVID-19 vaccine adverse events, announce the launch of the nation's first bi-directional referral network for persons injured by the COVID-19 vaccines. This novel network, digitizing a nascent, existing network React19 has developed, supports hundreds of thousands to millions of people injured by COVID-19 vaccines by connecting the injured seamlessly and efficiently to supportive clinical and mental health providers, legal assistance, financial support, and other vital supportive assistance.

Patients injured by COVID-19 vaccines face an uphill struggle as a majority of healthcare systems today still don't formally acknowledge a spectrum of vaccine-related injury, from moderately impactful to completely debilitating. Individuals injured by COVID-19 vaccines typically must  visit dozens of doctors before they are able to find the appropriate provider and care access. Unfortunately, far too many people who signed up to take the vaccine to combat the pandemic experienced unfortunate debilitating injuries.

With an electronic care coordination and referral network, CrossTx and React19 now collaborate to fill a vitally important gap in care---the lack of adequate medical, behavioral health and social supports necessary to care for a substantial vulnerable population.  

Through this partnership, individuals who have been negatively impacted by COVID-19 vaccines can connect with supportive medical professionals, access specialized care, and receive referrals to other resources and support networks based on needs, geography and coverage options. This state-of-the-art platform provides a comprehensive database of resources, including information about legal and financial assistance, as well as mental health and wellness support.

React19 partner TrialSite Inc. envisioned a national, if not global, electronic network bringing together seamlessly and efficiently COVID-19 vaccine injured patients and providers. The vision comes from a similar project TrialSite and CrossTx just launching in El Paso, Texas, where the care coordination and referral network efficiently brings together health care providers and local research centers to drive more clinical trials participation in the region.

With over a decade of experience delivering referral management and care coordination solutions to healthcare systems, CrossTx and React19 collaborate to launch a robust, extensible, secure and compliant React19 COVID-19 vaccine injured referral network. React19, the largest organization of its kind, brings its extensive network of not only COVID-19 vaccine injured (approaching 50,000 people) but also the medical professionals, advocates, and resources necessary to ensure that injured individuals can access the best possible care and support.

"We are privileged to work with both the React19 and CrossTx teams to facilitate and implement this incredibly important COVID-19 vaccine injured referral platform," said Megan Redshaw, JD serving as project management for the initiative representing TrialSite. "Redshaw, an attorney stated "We estimate that the number of Americans injured by COVID-19 vaccination program ranges from a few hundred thousand to over two million people. While COVID-19 vaccine injuries are deemed statistically rare by agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, TrialSite estimates injury rates at 0.005 to 0.008 of the over 270 million Americans who received their full series vaccination. Unfortunately, this estimate suggests anywhere from approximately 1 to 2.16 million persons struggling with some level of COVID-19 vaccine-related injury, a large vulnerable group that's in desperate need of care."

"We are thrilled to partner with React19 and TrialSite to deliver this much-needed referral platform for individuals impacted by the COVID-19 vaccine," said Chad Nybo, Founder and CEO of CrossTx. "By combining our expertise in healthcare technology and closed-loop referral management with React19's deep knowledge of the COVID-19 care and patient landscape, CrossTx will support React19 both scale up and accelerate the coordination and connection of COVID-19 vaccine injured patients with the appropriate care."

"Spending the last year-and-a-half building our network dedicated to the quality and expeditious care of COVID-19 vaccine injured, we are now truly excited to work with CrossTx in this ongoing effort both to deliver, scale out and optimize our COVID-19 vaccine injury patient network," said Brianne Dressen, Co-founder of React19. Dressen herself vaccine injured during a COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial. She, along with co-founder Dr. Joel Wallskog, also COVID-19 vaccine injured, launched React19 with a bold vision to help as many people as possible.  She emphasized "We work diligently to provide COVID-19 vaccine injured individuals with the resources and support they need to navigate the challenges they may face with a vaccine injury. We believe that by collaborating with CrossTx and TrialSite we can make a real difference in the lives of those impacted by COVID-19 vaccines."

React19, CrossTx and TrialSite will continue to collaborate to ensure that the React19 COVID-19 vaccine injured referral network outcomes benefit as many people as possible across the United States with plans of expansion to other nations. Already React19 has members in dozens of countries across the world.

TikTok-Style Curriculum, Near-Peer Mentoring, and Family Support Sessions Help Families in Crisis

BALTIMORE, March 31, 2023 (Newswire.com) - The mental health crisis among teens is reaching unprecedented levels, and waitlists for licensed providers are dangerously long, leading many teens to the ER to seek care. To address this critical issue, sisu has launched a new platform to provide teens and their families with the tools and support they need before a licensed mental healthcare provider is available. 

Sisu offers all of its users a suite of personalized care, which includes:

• Near-peer mentoring for teens, provided by young adults with training to support teens and respond to potential crisis situations.
• Therapist-approved curriculum to build mental health skills, delivered in TikTok-style videos featuring real teens.
• Family support sessions, led by licensed clinicians acting in a coaching capacity.
• Unique ecosystem approach empowering teens and caregivers to strengthen their relationships and build mental health skills together.

Built on an intentionally low-tech platform, sisu is created to be accessible to all teens ages 13-18 and their families across the United States.  A family subscription starts at $30 per week. 

"As a mom, I know that we're running out of time to give our teens the mental healthcare they need," says Erin Little, founder and CEO of sisu. "We created sisu to give teens and their families a safe, therapist-approved platform to get the support and tools they need before a licensed provider is available."

TikTok-style curriculum and 1:1 support

Upon joining sisu, a teen is matched with a near-peer mentor who provides coaching support through asynchronous messaging. The teen also works through self-paced curriculums delivered through interactive content and short videos of therapist-led sessions featuring real teens.

"So many teens are going on TikTok to seek mental health support, but that can be dangerous because of harmful or misleading content," says Little. "Knowing that, we designed sisu to deliver therapist-approved mental health content in the digestible, authentic format that Gen Z teens want."

Caregivers receive equal priority on sisu, where they will meet regularly with a family support specialist. The teen can join those sessions, or the caregiver can use those sessions to focus on their own mental health needs. 

Available to schools, organizations, and families

Families can join a cohort focused on "Stress and Managing Anxiety" or "Grief and Loss" as soon as April 1. Sisu, which is FERPA and COPPA-compliant and has been piloted in several schools, is now available for school use. Additionally, sisu is available for organizations as an employee benefit.

Ezcad Dental Lab, a full-range dental laboratory service located in Aguada, Puerto Rico, will use the In Hand Dental platform to add strategic value to its Ezclear Aligner product line.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 31, 2023 (Newswire.com) - In Hand Dental, a remote monitoring app and complete teledentistry platform used by dentists and orthodontists, is expanding by entering into a referral agreement with Ezcad Dental Lab. In Hand Dental will also add support for the In Hand Dental Patient App to operate in Spanish, a move designed to help both patients inside and outside the United States. 

Ezcad Dental Lab understands the particular challenges dental providers face. "We are excited about the partnership of Ezcad Dental Lab and In Hand Dental, because both organizations share the same mission of using technology and resources to improve operational performance and profitability, providing for superior outcomes and an elevated patient experience," states Ezcad Dental Lab owner and CEO John Collins. "Pairing the In Hand Dental solutions with our Easyclear Aligners product line will provide a unique and powerful solution for our providers."

Ezcad selected the option of having its own branded app to promote its EasyClear Aligners, which is unique to the In Hand Dental service model. In Hand Dental can build and create a branded app for either a B2B or B2C business model, and the intention is to bundle the In Hand Dental app in with all sales of aligners. This model creates the opportunity for the practice to track lead generation, and separate its brand from the competition.

In Hand Dental CEO and founder Michael Gassman commented on the partnership. "We are excited to partner with Ezcad Dental Lab and their Easyclear Aligners solution, the dominant and strategic aligner manufacturer for the Puerto Rican market. Integrating our In Hand Dental platform and workflow with their superior product line provides a tremendous value add for their aligner customers."

On the release of new features, Gassman says, "We are also rolling out a customized Dental Essentials provider app and a new version of our patient app that incorporates Spanish-language support as we serve our growing list of international customers."
