Freedom Libraries to Open in New York Prison
Freedom Libraries, conceived by former prisoner-turned-acclaimed-poet, open at Otisville Correctional Facility

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - August 30, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

The national non-profit Freedom Reads announced today the opening of three Freedom Libraries at Otisville Correctional Facility in southeastern New York state. Two of the libraries will be dedicated for use by incarcerated individuals and the additional library will be available to the staff. Otisville Correctional Facility will be the first New York Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) institution to open Freedom Libraries. DOCCS and Freedom Reads plan to open future libraries in several other facilities, including Albion, Groveland, and Mid-State Correctional Facilities, later this year.

The libraries, the brainchild of 2021 MacArthur Fellow and Yale Law School graduate Reginald Dwayne Betts who was sentenced to nine years in prison at age 16, are spaces in prisons to encourage the full realization of self. The libraries are handcrafted out of wood and curved to contrast the straight lines and bars of prisons as well as to evoke Martin Luther King Jr.'s line about the "arc of the universe" bending "toward justice." Centering beauty and dignity, the Freedom Libraries seek to create a space in prisons to encourage community and the exploration of new possibilities.

Betts' nonprofit is a first-of-its-kind organization that empowers people through literature to imagine new possibilities for their lives. Books in the Freedom Library have been carefully curated through consultations with thousands of poets, novelists, philosophers, teachers, friends, and voracious readers, resulting in a collection of books that are not only beloved, but indispensable. The libraries include contemporary poets, novelists, and essayists alongside classic works from Homer's The Odyssey to the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, that remind us the book has long been a freedom project. Freedom Reads aims to build 1,000 Freedom Libraries in prisons nationwide.

Otisville Correctional Facility is also a participating site in Freedom Reads' Freedom Talks initiative, a program that brings writers and performers inside prisons to bridge the gap between those incarcerated and the world of contemporary arts and letters. In conjunction with the installation of the Freedom Libraries, Betts will perform for an audience at Otisville his one-man show Felon: An American Washi Tale, in which he explores love, fatherhood, the power of literature, and the lingering consequences of having a criminal record. The show is based on Betts' poetry collection Felon. To date, Otisville has also welcomed two of Freedom Reads' Literary Ambassadors, poet Terrance Hayes and writer Jacqueline Woodson, to give readings of their work and engage with incarcerated participants. 

"We are grateful that the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision shares our goal of creating opportunities for daily engagement with literature inside their facilities and a space in prison for books, inquiry, imagination, and community," said Reginald Dwayne Betts, Founder and Executive Director of Freedom Reads. "With the opening of several Freedom Libraries at the Otisville Correctional Facility, we aim to support people in prison to imagine new possibilities for their lives."

Acting Commissioner Anthony J. Annucci said, "The Department could not be more pleased to welcome Mr. Betts to perform at Otisville Correctional Facility, and to accept the organization's gracious offer to open three Freedom Libraries that will serve both incarcerated individuals and staff. We look forward to a continued partnership with Freedom Reads and the ability to open more Freedom Libraries at facilities across New York State in the near future."

About Freedom Reads:

Founded by Reginald Dwayne Betts, who knows firsthand the dispiriting forces of prison, Freedom Reads works to empower people through literature to confront what prison does to the spirit. Supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and inspired by the recognition that freedom begins with a book, Freedom Reads supports the efforts of people in prison to transform their lives through increased access to books and writers.

Spectral MD Awarded an Additional .2M of Funding From BARDA
Funding will accelerate commercialization pathway for Spectral MD's DeepView® technology

DALLAS - August 30, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Spectral MD Holdings, Ltd. (AIM: SMD), a predictive analytics company with proprietary AI and optical technology for faster and more accurate treatment decisions in wound care, announces it has been awarded $8.2 million in additional funding by the US Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). This funding supplements the original award announced on September 6, 2021, and brings the total funding commitment received by Spectral MD to over $100 million since 2013. The additional funding will further accelerate the commercialization of the Company's DeepView® Wound Imaging System ("DeepView®") by expanding the number of sites for the clinical training study for burn wounds, increasing DeepView®'s interoperability with health systems' electronic health records ("EHR"), and accelerating the Company's manufacturing readiness.

"We are honored to receive this funding to deliver technology assisting with BARDA's preparedness goal to rapidly develop safe, effective medical countermeasures accessible to all Americans," says Wensheng Fan, Chief Executive Officer of Spectral MD. "Importantly, this award expedites bringing this transformative technology to market and will ultimately change the standard of care for burn diagnosis and treatment in the U.S."

Spectral MD will expand DeepView®'s burn training study to include additional pediatric sites and US Emergency Departments ("EDs"). The Company anticipates the additional pediatric clinical data will increase the robustness and accuracy of DeepView®'s wound healing prediction in pediatric patients from the current level of 88%. The addition of EDs will facilitate establishing a clinical benchmark for DeepView®'s ED burn healing assessment, which we anticipate will have a major impact in the delivery of care for burns which is currently a challenge for the diagnosis of burn wounds.

With this award, additional interoperability features will be added to DeepView® that allow for integration with major US EHR systems, such as EPIC, Cerner, and others. This is an important feature, as US federal and state governments are heavily promoting the adoption of EHRs to improve care quality, safety, efficiency, cost-savings and to reduce health disparities.

The award will also significantly increase the Company's DeepView® system production readiness in collaboration with its manufacturing partner utilizing validated current Good Manufacturing Practice ("cGMP") for scaled production.

This project has been supported in whole or in part with federal funds from the Department of Health and Human Services; the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR); Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), under Contract number 75A50119C00033. Learn more about BARDA: https://www.medicalcountermeasures.gov. Funding support for DeepView's use in burn triage and treatment decisions has also been provided by US National Science Foundation (NSF), US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and US Defense Health Agency (DHA).

Cortechs.ai Awarded Million Dollar NIH Grant for Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease Using Advanced Diffusion MRI Technique
The National Institute of Health awards Cortechs.ai a multimillion grant to quantify microstructural changes in Alzheimer's Disease using Restriction Spectrum Imaging.

SAN DIEGO - August 29, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Cortechs.ai has received a $1.35 million, 2.5-year grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute on Aging to advance Alzheimer's Disease (AD) diagnosis. The grant will allow Cortechs.ai to deliver an automated AI solution in a clinical setting to enable physicians to quickly determine a patient's risk of developing AD and monitor disease progression and response to treatment.

"We are thrilled to receive support from the NIA to further advance this promising technology in the area of Alzheimer's Disease diagnosis," said Nathan White, CTO of Cortechs.ai and co-inventor of Restriction Spectrum Imaging. "The development of new therapeutics for prevention and treatment of the disease would greatly benefit from robust, objective quantitative imaging biomarkers that reflect subtle underlying pathological brain changes that occur early in the disease process." 

Alzheimer's Disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, is characterized by β-amyloid deposits and neurofibrillary tangles preceding neuronal loss and cognitive decline. While diffusion imaging has been used effectively in diseases involving specific white matter pathways, the recent advances in diffusion imaging techniques - particularly multi-compartmental models for successfully quantifying microstructural changes - now enable the effective use of diffusion imaging in Alzheimer's Disease. The project aims to use an advanced diffusion MRI technique called Restriction Spectrum Imaging to quantify the subtle microstructural changes in Alzheimer's patients' brains, making it possible to detect pathological changes in the brain without an autopsy.

Cortechs Labs holds the patent on "Restriction Spectrum Imaging." The project titled "Quantifying microstructural changes in Alzheimer's Disease using Restriction Spectrum Imaging" is one of many projects for which Cortechs.ai received research grants.

The California Food is Medicine Coalition Announces New Director to Advance Medically Tailored Nutrition in California
Outgoing Director, Ann Thrupp, Receives Fulbright Scholarship

SAN FRANCISCO - August 29, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

The California Food is Medicine Coalition (CalFIMC), an association of leading nutrition services providers in the state, named Michelle Kuppich the new director of CalFIMC. Kuppich will be responsible for leading the Coalition's advocacy efforts, advancing awareness and understanding of evidence-based medically tailored nutrition, guiding the development of strategic programs of the Coalition and driving the expansion of healthcare partnerships that provide medically-tailored nutrition programs.   

Kuppich is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) who arrives after serving seven years as the Senior Manager of Nutrition Services Integration at the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, where she advanced the business case for improving consumer access to Medical Nutrition Therapy provided by RDNs and other evidence-based interventions. Her previous experiences include patient care, disease management, clinical quality, and she has extensive knowledge about health insurance, use of outcomes data, and reimbursement. She also worked for two years as an RDN for Project Open Hand earlier in her career, and also served on CalFIMC's Medical Advisory Council for several years. 

"We are excited to have Michelle step into the role of director. We anticipate that she will help in accelerating advocacy and outreach for medical nutrition interventions, sharing the health benefits for patients and measurable savings in healthcare costs," Project Open Hand Chief Executive Officer, Paul Hepfer, said. "She has many years of experience in nutrition services and understands the evidence base for nutrition interventions, health insurance, value-based payments, outcomes evaluations, and multi-stakeholder perspectives." 

 Ann Thrupp, PhD, the outgoing Director of CalFIMC, served as the leader for nearly three years. She helped build the capacities and influence of the coalition, as well as its advocacy and strategic initiatives throughout the state. She brought her extensive experience in food systems, policy, and food security to the coalition. Thrupp is stepping down in order to undertake a research project related to agriculture and health in Costa Rica, supported by a Fulbright Scholarship, which she was recently awarded.
