Oculogica Inc. announces publication of the initial five-site study performed to obtain FDA Marketing Authorization for its EyeBOX technology as an aid in the diagnosis of concussion. EyeBOX uses eye tracking to assess pupil size and position to determine whether a person has sustained damage to brain regions that control those functions.
The study, published in Frontiers in Neurology Dec. 1, 2022, was performed on 282 emergency room or concussion clinic patients ages 5 to 67 within two weeks of injury. Study participants were evaluated at New York City's Bellevue Hospital, Rochester's Mayo Clinic, Pittsburgh's Allegheny Hospital, Denver's Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children, and Beaver Dam Wisconsin's Community Hospital.
The study demonstrated that patients who had symptoms of concussion and scored poorly on a cognition assessment were more likely to have abnormal eye tracking, as assessed by the technology's proprietary BOX (Brain injury associated Ocular motility dysfunction) Score. The BOX Score diagnosed concussion with over 80% sensitivity.
"The brain has tremendous heterogeneity of normal baseline function. This makes it challenging to figure out normal versus abnormal function when injury occurs. Assessment of pupil size and movement can be a powerful way to assess function because the majority of people have relatively normal function that is controlled reflexively. A person cannot pretend to have pupils that constrict normally and move in a synchronized way when they do not," said neurosurgeon Uzma Samadani, MD, Ph.D., and Oculogica founder. "Similarly, if their brain and therefore pupil function is normal, it is difficult to pretend that it is not. Eye tracking to assess pupil size and position is a truly objective measure of physiologic brain function. We consider it a form of more precise digital neurologic examination. We believe that this will eventually and inevitably become standard of care."
"We decided to publish this data because so many people have asked us what the gold-standard for concussion is, and how one obtains FDA approval for a concussion diagnostic," said Oculogica CEO Rosina Samadani, Ph.D. "The reality is that there is currently no single gold-standard, and that is one of the challenges of any study in the field. We found that those with the worst symptoms and poorest cognition were most likely to have an elevated BOX score. Fundamentally, if a patient has abnormal eye reflexes or movement, that is their objective physiologic condition, regardless of symptom severity or ability to perform on a cognitive test. This information is helpful when people may under or over-report symptoms or have high or low baseline cognitive skills. It also may reduce biases due to language, culture, education or other factors that impact traditional patient assessment."
The EyeBOX technology is the first non-invasive, non-baseline requiring concussion diagnostic approved by the FDA for aid in the diagnosis of concussion. Leading clinics, such as the Mayo Clinic, Midwest Orthopedics at Rush University and Minneapolis Clinic of Neurology, amongst others, offer the technology.
Granville County Boys & Girls Club Prepares for the Future by Creating "A Place to Become"
OXFORD, N.C., February 6, 2023 (Newswire.com)
-
This $1.4 million dollar renovation will enable the Granville location to enhance its physical location and create an even greater vision for its future.
Running through a special "Kick-Off" banner, members of the Granville County Unit created a feeling of excitement for this project. Generous support for the renovation was evident as many Granville County Government members, area business owners, and community leaders joined in the celebration.
The Club opened to serve youth 11 years ago at Mary Potter Middle School, later expanding into St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. In 2014, the Club received a gift from Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company - their unused warehouses - which later became home for BGCNCNC's corporate headquarters.
In 2020, CEO Donyell "DJ" Jones began to create the vision for the renovation project. With their understanding of the importance of Boys & Girls Clubs, not only to its members and their families but the greater impact on the entire Granville County community, longtime supporters Richard & Noel Moore committed to making a significant investment in the project to help launch "A Place to Become." Their gift established the foundation for this project's funding.
The National Boys & Girls Club Movement began in 1860 in Hartford, Connecticut. Over the next several years their mission began to grow beyond just their community and today there are over 5,000 Boys & Girls Clubs across the nation and around the world.
Today the impact local Clubs have on their members and their communities is invaluable. Below are some general BGCNCNC statistics that prove just that.
• 96% regularly attending Club members make on-time grade progression.
• For every $1 donated to the Club there is a $9 economic return on investment
• 89% of Club members surveyed report the Club is a "Safe, Positive Environment.
• 87% of Club members surveyed report the Club offers a "Supportive Adult Connection."
• 84% of Club members surveyed report the Club creates a "Sense of Belonging.
• 83% of Club members surveyed report they "believe they can make a difference in their community.
• 91% of Club members have avoided risky behaviors - smoking, alcohol, fighting, marijuana, etc.
* Results are based on the 2022 National Youth Outcome Initiative Survey Data.
BGCNCNC's leadership is dedicated to providing positive youth development experiences and targeted programs to young people "who need us most." As such, they are committed to this capital campaign and the successful completion of this project.
The renovations will begin on Feb. 6, 2023, and are estimated to be completed by June 1, 2023. This campaign will be part of the ongoing fundraising efforts for this first phase of the project as well as any future capital projects.
Any inquiries about Boys & Girls Clubs of North Central North Carolina should contact CEO Donyell "DJ" Jones at [email protected] or (919) 690-0036.
The new digital workers are designed to automate the inbound shipping process, accounts payable processing, delinquent invoices, and tax cards and vesting deeds.

Intelligent Automation Platform OpenBots is collaborating with three solutions providers, Xpertek Contact, Roth Automation, and Intellese, to develop four new digital assistants for its growing digital workforce.
OpenBots is a fully bundled intelligent automation platform that allows companies to scale their digital transformation initiatives. Until now, businesses had to pay expensive licensing fees. OpenBots flips the script by giving companies access to its complete line of enterprise tools with monthly plans based on consumption hours instead of individual automation.
Xpertek Contact offers services and solutions in hyperautomation, electronic data extraction, and Wi-Fi Location-based marketing. The company is the developer of digital assistants Rachel and Fred. Rachel is an inbound shipping process assistant that automates the inbound shipping process to enable online retailers to receive orders in their warehouses much faster. The result is a faster turnaround on customer orders. Fred provides 80% faster invoice or payment approval times, 100 reductions in paper documents, and 100% accuracy between Purchase Order and ERP.
Intellese is a consultant company in the energy sector. They provide an automation solution is a Tax Card and Vesting Deeds digital assistant used to simplify the process for land agents to get ownership information, land information, and taxation information to determine who owns a property, what they are doing with the property, the value of the property, and the location of the property.
Vesting Deeds show how and when a person or entity acquired a piece of real property. Landmen, Abstractors, and Title Attorneys need this information to begin chaining titles back 20, 50, or 100 years, or all the way back to sovereignty. Sadly, these processes are very tedious and time-consuming; however, with this new digital assistant, land agents can focus on more involved tasks such as chaining titles, looking for encumbrances and liabilities, and organizing the data, while Intellise's digital worker quickly finds and extracts the data they need. In comparison, human agents save the file up to 75% faster and can run at the beginning of the project in bulk so that the entire data set is ready for access simultaneously.
Roth Automation is a provider of end-to-end professional services and project management. The company offers a range of solutions to capture, extract and utilize information from documents to automate repetitive, error-prone work processes to amplify efficiency. Roth Automation designed XO to automate the collection of delinquent invoices. XO follows all the same processes as a human worker but at a much faster pace and with greater accuracy.
Cohen Veterans network at VVSD "Joining Forces" with White House in Support of Military Families as the Network Fills the Gaps in Mental Health Services
SAN DIEGO, February 6, 2023 (Newswire.com)
-
Cohens Veteran Network (CVN) at VVSD, a not-for-profit philanthropic organization that serves post-9/11 veterans, active duty service members and their families through a nationwide system of mental health clinics, welcomed First Lady Jill Biden at its Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at VVSD (Veterans Village of San Diego), Oceanside in Oceanside, CA on Feb. 4, 2023, as part of the White House's Joining Forces initiative to support military and veteran families, caregivers and survivors. The initiative, which centers around bringing awareness to the experiences of military-connected families, highlighting the resources available to them, and driving policy improvements, includes a focus area of health and well-being. Since its inception in 2016, CVN has provided accessible, high-quality mental health services to 50,000 clients across its growing network of clinics.
"We are thrilled to host Dr. Biden as she remains resolute in her mission to support our nation's military families," says Cohen Veterans Network President and CEO Dr. Anthony Hassan. "We are grateful that she is bringing awareness to the experiences of military families to generate additional public support and that she is working to connect military families with the resources they greatly need and deserve."
There are currently over 2 million uniformed U.S. service members and 2.6 million family members across the globe. Due to the distinctive circumstances associated with military life such as deployments and reintegration, long separations, and frequent moves, many military family members experience unique mental health concerns. In fact, while military families have proven to be incredibly resilient overall, it has been found that children from military families have a higher risk of social, emotional, and behavioral challenges including anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation in comparison to children who are not from military families.
Mental health was the topic of a roundtable discussion held today as part of Dr. Biden's visit. She heard from military family members and veterans about their challenges, sacrifices, strength, and resilience, as well as their experiences in reaching out for help. Dr. Biden was additionally provided a tour of the Cohen Clinic, which was specifically designed with military families in mind.
The Cohen Clinic at VVSD (Veterans Village of San Diego), Oceanside is located a short distance from Camp Pendleton, which is one of the Department of Defense's busiest installations. The area is home to nearly 40,000 active duty service members, 33,000 post-9/11 veterans and more than 31,000 military family members. All of whom are eligible for care that the Cohen Clinic in Oceanside provides.
"Due to shortages in on-base mental health providers, the Cohen Clinic at VVSD, Oceanside provides a viable alternative to timely and quality mental health care for our service members, veterans, and their families that is essential to personnel and unit readiness," says Colonel Daniel M. Whitley, Assistant Chief of Staff G-7, Government & External Affairs, MCIWest-MCB Camp Pendleton.
"In a place like San Diego, CA, home to one of the largest populations of service members, veterans, and their families, VVSD recognizes the importance of initiatives like Joining Forces," says Veterans Village of San Diego President and CEO Akilah Templeton. "Dr. Biden's efforts towards raising awareness and encouraging collaboration in support of military families are inspiring."
The Cohen Clinic at VVSD, Oceanside is one of 23 Cohen Clinics in high-need communities across the country. The network combines military culturally competent care with staff members trained to work with veterans and military families. Many clinic team members are military connected individuals with nearly 25% of Cohen Clinic staff being veterans and 21% being military spouses.
The network treats the entire military family including spouses, partners, children, parents, caregivers, survivors, and others. Approximately 47% of CVN clients are military or veteran family members, while nearly 53% of all clients are veterans or active duty service members. Treatment is available for a wide variety of mental health challenges including depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, anger, PTSD, grief and loss, family issues, transition challenges, relationship problems, and children's behavioral problems. Care is available in person or via CVN Telehealth, face-to-face video therapy.
"We know that treatment works, and it is imperative that military families have access to culturally competent mental health services with their unique circumstances in mind. We heard it firsthand from our clients in the room today. So, when a military family member raises their hand for help, we must be there to support them. In an effort to save lives, save families and save futures, CVN remains committed to removing barriers to treatment and filling the gaps in care," says Dr. Hassan.
ABOUT COHEN VETERANS NETWORK Cohen Veterans Network (CVN) is a 501(c)(3) national not-for-profit philanthropic organization for post-9/11 veterans, active-duty service members and their families.
