LAKE NONA, Fla., Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Fountain Life, a longevity, preventative health, advanced diagnostics, and therapeutics company, today announced that it has added concierge care to its APEX Premium Longevity Membership. The new service provides members with the finest concierge care available, with 24×7 access to Fountain Life’s dedicated team of functional medicine-trained doctors and clinicians with knowledge of a member’s in-depth multi-modal health diagnostics. Same or next-day telehealth or in-person appointments at Fountain Life Centers in Orlando and Naples, Florida, Dallas, Texas, and White Plains, New York.

Concierge care adds a unique, high-end primary care dimension to APEX, which provides members with advanced multi-modal diagnostics, including executive blood panels, a full-body and brain MRI, CCTA heart scanning, and other assessments, such as genetic and biological age testing. APEX members are matched to a leading longevity physician trained in functional medicine and a personal care team that delivers ongoing health monitoring and an optimization plan spanning disease prevention and reversal, wellness, and nutrition. A range of advanced therapeutic treatments is also available.

“Our unparalleled depth in functional and longevity medicine and the in-depth knowledge of our members’ health resulting from our multi-modal diagnostics makes us a natural choice as their primary care provider,” said Dr. Bill Kapp MD, Co-Founder and CEO of Fountain Life. “The addition of concierge care to our APEX Premium Longevity Membership will provide our members with greater healthcare convenience and support better health outcomes. It further enhances our APEX Premium Longevity Membership as a high-value investment in their wellbeing and healthspan.”

With Fountain Life’s concierge care, just about any health issue that arises from a stomach bug to a sinus infection or skin rash and everything in between can be handled by the care team, which has far more in-depth knowledge of a person’s health than most, if not all concierge and primary care physicians. The service includes a 24×7 clinician-staffed call line to answer questions and triage a member’s health concerns. If the situation requires being seen in person, a same or next-day appointment at a Fountain Life Center or a telehealth call will be arranged. Following that, should it be necessary, the Fountain Life concierge care team will arrange a referral to a specialist and coordinate care on the members’ behalf.

Further differentiating APEX from other concierge care offerings is the Fountain Life smartphone app powered by its proprietary generative AI platform Zora AI. In addition to direct access to Fountain Life clinicians, members can ask Zora AI any health-related questions and receive responses tailored to their unique, comprehensive health profile, including their unique genetic makeup, diagnostic test results, family history, and more, combined with the latest research in functional medicine and longevity. The level of access to expert, personalized health information and advice provided by Fountain Life is unmatched.

PORTAGE, Mich., USA, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Stryker (NYSE:SYK), a global leader in medical technologies, announced its launch of the next generation of SurgiCount+ within its sponge management portfolio. Now integrated with Stryker’s Triton technology, SurgiCount+ addresses two key challenges: retained surgical sponges and blood loss assessment. Integrating these previously separate digital solutions provides the added benefit of a more efficient, streamlined workflow for hospitals.

Maternal mortality has been rising in the U.S. for decades,1 with approximately 50,000 cases of severe maternal morbidity occurring each year.2 Notably, 70% of pregnancy-related deaths due to hemorrhage are preventable.3 Stryker’s Triton software includes AI technology that can differentiate blood from other fluids and a Bluetooth scale that batch weighs blood-soaked items to help assess blood loss. This provides hospital staff with real-time information to help coordinate the clinical team’s hemorrhage response and make informed patient care decisions.

Surgical sponges continue to be the number one retained surgical item with 88% of retained surgical items occurring with a false correct count.4 For nurses trying to locate a missing sponge in the operating room (OR), that can take up to 10 minutes on average.5 Stryker’s SurgiCount+ software helps address these problems by featuring a wireless reader that counts, tracks and locates surgical sponges in the OR. RFID-tagged sponges enable unique identification, eliminating false-correct duplicate or unknown counts.

“We are committed to helping keep caregivers and patients safe from harm,” said Brandon Jominy, vice president and general manager of Stryker’s Surgical Technologies business. “Integrating our SurgiCount+ and Triton technologies on one platform will set a new industry standard for quantifying blood loss and continuing to help reduce retained surgical sponges in the OR.”

Additionally, recent studies show that nurse burnout is affecting more than half of all U.S. nurses.6 By integrating these two technologies into one solution, it provides additional benefits to hospitals and staff which includes:

Helping save time by standardizing clinical protocols for chartingSimplifying workflows and aggregating case data with backend dataHelping reduce manual data entry errors through real-time EMR integrationTracking and communicating patient information with one seamless workflow
