With half of employers looking to improve workforce understanding of benefits, GuardianWell will enhance benefits utilization by offering relevant wellness education and streamlined access to benefits
NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America® (Guardian) is announcing the launch of GuardianWell™, its new digital well-being hub for Group Benefits members.
A centerpiece of Guardian’s mission to inspire well-being®, GuardianWell provides members with a single self-service online hub where they can engage with their wellness benefits and access educational content on mental, physical, and financial well-being, as well as on family and community support topics.
GuardianWell offers members a personalized experience based on their participation in Guardian’s various wellness offerings. For all eligible benefits, members can learn more about services provided and how they can start to utilize and make the most of these wellness resources. Wellness offerings integrated into the platform include caregiver support services through Wellthy, a digital substance use management program for tobacco cessation through Pelago, cancer support services via Osara Health, dedicated mental wellness benefits from Spring Health, and employee assistance programs.
Guardian continues to build on its record of innovation and was one of the first carriers to build caregiver and cancer support within its long-term disability insurance product and include tobacco cessation services in dental insurance offerings. GuardianWell is designed to help members access, understand, and use this expanded suite of wellness benefits.
According to recent research from Guardian, both employers and employees say there is a critical need for enhanced benefits communication and education. Less than half of employees (45%), for example, say that their employer does a good job of educating them about available benefits. Employers feel similarly, with just half saying they are confident that their employees understand their benefits. Additionally, 51% of employers said they would be interested in a single platform through which all wellness-related benefits could be made available. With workplace benefits playing an influential role in supporting employee well-being, closing this education and utilization gap is essential.
“Employers and employees agree that workplace benefits play an important role in supporting a happy, healthy, and productive workforce,” said Jonathan Mayhew, Head of Group Benefits at Guardian. “We are excited to launch GuardianWell to offer a one-stop-digital-hub to enhance understanding of wellness resources, drive utilization, and help our members take care of themselves and their families.”
To ensure members can get the most out of their benefits, GuardianWell will have single sign-on integration with Guardian Anytime, Guardian’s employee benefits online service portal.
The launch of GuardianWell coincides with other efforts by Guardian to support well-being, including:
Ensuring a simple and clear path to accessing benefits during major life events, including an employee’s maternity journey. Across family planning and education, pregnancy, maternity leave, and return to work, members have access to a range of coordinated benefits and services. This includes fertility benefits through Guardian’s critical illness insurance, estate and will preparation assistance through employee assistance programs, caregiving support and mental health services to support work-life balance, and access to short-term disability riders that can include coverage for adoption and paternity leave, as well as coverage to ensure new moms receive their benefits from day one. During it all, employees are supported by case managers who are prepared to provide comprehensive, empathetic support.The development of an exclusive pet wellness offering to support pet parents. Guardian Group Benefits customers can elect to purchase a voluntary pet wellness benefit through Wagmo, which provides reimbursement for preventive and routine pet care expenses. With no restrictions for pet age, breed, or pre-existing conditions for all cats and dogs, there are no waiting periods or deductibles, and reimbursements are paid within 24 hours. The benefit also includes innovative telehealth services through VETalk, which provides pet owners with 24-hour access to a veterinary professional through text and video chat.
Initially available to new members with access to Guardian’s caregiving support services through Wellthy, Guardian plans to expand GuardianWell’s ecosystem and access to more members throughout 2025. More information can be found at https://www.guardianlife.com/group/guardianwell.

Redefining Jobs in the Age of AI: The Howling Mine Introduces Teleportation and Gamified Employment
Published
51 mins agoon
October 9, 2024By
Jon NEVERDIE Jacobs unveils the Howling Mine Asteroid in Entropia Universe—a groundbreaking initiative combining teleportation, AI, and gamified employment—to redefine jobs in the age of AI by creating real-world income opportunities in the metaverse and addressing AI-driven job displacement.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As artificial intelligence continues to transform industries and threaten millions of jobs, Jon NEVERDIE Jacobs, a pioneering figure in the metaverse, presents a visionary solution for the future of work. His latest initiative, centered on the Howling Mine Asteroid in Entropia Universe, introduces gamified jobs as a scalable response to AI-driven job displacement—potentially setting the stage for a new global digital economy.
Set to launch in December, the Howling Mine will become a key destination for mining unique ores vital to the next evolution of the metaverse economy. The update will introduce new features to Entropia Universe, including mining directly from spaceships and intergalactic teleportation, offering players exciting new ways to monetize their time. To build excitement, Mindark launched a series of spaceship blueprints and a universe-wide resource-gathering event, where players can compete for the first-ever space mining ships.
Redefining Work in the Age of AI
As AI systems from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Apple, and Meta reshape industries, the risk of human labor becoming obsolete grows. NEVERDIE offers an alternative: a metaverse economy where virtual jobs generate real-world income for millions of users.
“We’re not passively watching AI make jobs obsolete—we’re using the metaverse and harnessing the power of AI to create new opportunities where people can thrive in a digital economy that values human creativity and interaction,” says NEVERDIE.
Howling Mine: Unlocking a New Economic Frontier
The Howling Mine Asteroid, located in a dangerous, remote sector, will be the focus of a new era for Entropia Universe. Upon its launch, players will face space pirates as they mine rare ores essential for teleportation technology. This exciting gameplay could make space piracy one of the most lucrative virtual professions in the game. The discovery of teleportation opens the door to a turbo-charged virtual economy, where players can “planet-hop” to seize fleeting opportunities, while gamified jobs provide a financial incentive for new players to thrive.
This isn’t just about new gameplay mechanics—it’s the beginning of a scalable model that could address global employment challenges. The Howling Mine is set to provide millions of jobs and generate a new economic ecosystem within the metaverse, bridging the gap between virtual and real-world economies.
Conscription Vs. Subscription
In a unique twist, the primary job opportunity at the Howling Mine involves the gamified hunting of AI bots, turning the war against AI into a real-world income source. Along with the new space mining and shipbuilding ecosystems, these jobs are expected to form the foundation of a space economy. This is not an experiment; it’s a proven model. NEVERDIE’s job system, successfully tested over six years on Rocktropia with 50,000+ completed jobs, has become the planet’s most popular mission, demonstrating its scalability and sustainability.
“The shift from subscription to Free2Play now culminates in the Conscription Model, where players get paid to play—revolutionizing how time and skill are valued in games with virtual economies,” explains NEVERDIE.
A Moonshot on the Future of the Metaverse
In a visionary move, actor and filmmaker Jon NEVERDIE Jacobs, who made headlines in 2005 by mortgaging his Miami home to purchase a virtual asteroid for $100,000—later selling it for $635,000—has secured exclusive rights to the Howling Mine Asteroid. This decision underscores his belief that the Howling Mine will redefine work in the metaverse and generate real-world economic impact.
“I’m confident that the discovery of intergalactic teleportation technology at the Howling Mine will pave the way for millions of people to find work and prosperity in the metaverse, and I’m all-in on making that vision a reality,” says NEVERDIE.
With the potential to create millions of jobs and generate billions in revenue, the Howling Mine is poised to reshape not just virtual economies but global markets as well.
AI-Powered Job Creation: A Scalable Solution to Global Job Displacement
“As AI takes over many of the world’s jobs, we need to look toward digital economies as the next frontier for employment,” explains NEVERDIE. Entropia Universe, with the help of Celeste AI, aims to absorb displaced workers into a thriving digital economy, turning AI from a threat into an opportunity.
Unlike other AI initiatives focused on automating tasks, Entropia Universe uses AI to enhance human involvement, encouraging players to actively contribute to the economy, driving both virtual and real-world impact.
Competing with the AI Giants
NEVERDIE positions the Howling Mine as the blueprint for a new economic model capable of creating millions of jobs worldwide.
“The world should be paying attention to what’s happening in Entropia Universe,” NEVERDIE emphasizes. “We’re not just talking about the future of work—we’re building it, using AI to empower people and drive economic growth in the metaverse.”
About Jon NEVERDIE Jacobs
Award-winning actor and filmmaker Jon NEVERDIE Jacobs is a pioneering figure in the metaverse, known for creating landmark events in the evolution of Entropia Universe. His projects, including Club NEVERDIE, Rocktropia, KING KONG, and The Thing—in partnership with Universal Studios licensing—have redefined how players interact with virtual worlds. With the launch of the Howling Mine and the expansion of his AI Hunting job system, NEVERDIE is positioning Entropia Universe as a global leader in solving the challenges posed by AI-driven job displacement.

October 9, 2024By
Featuring Auracast™ Broadcast Streaming Capabilities
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Starkey, a leader in hearing technology, has once again set a new standard with the introduction of Edge AI, innovative hearing technology designed to take patient care to unparalleled heights. Building on the success of Genesis AI, which transformed the industry, Edge AI represents the next leap in intelligent hearing technology.
“Starkey remains the industry leader in innovation, continuing to introduce technology that has never been seen or heard before,” said Brandon Sawalich, President and CEO at Starkey. “We were the first to bring AI technology to the hearing industry and, last year, we redefined flagship technology with an all-new processor, new hearing experience, and new possibilities. Now, with the launch of Edge AI, the era of excellence continues at the speed of innovation. Our vision to be the best endures as we push the edge of what’s possible to bring better hearing for all.”
Unmatched Performance and Processing Power
Edge AI introduces the G2 Neuro Processor, the next generation of advanced technology from Starkey. Equipped with a groundbreaking Neural Processing Unit (NPU) with unmatched Deep Neural Network (DNN) processing capabilities, Starkey’s Edge AI ensures superior performance without compromising its industry-leading battery life. By far the most advanced integrated circuit in any hearing aid available, the G2 Neuro Processor features the industry’s only NPU fully integrated into the chip. This efficiency means that the waterproof* Edge AI RIC RT can continue to offer patients up to 51 hours of battery life. Additionally, building on the foundation of the sound management system in the Neuro Sound Technology, the 2.0 edition enhanced with DNN processing is 30% more accurate at identifying speech compared to previous generations, appropriately classifies the most challenging listening situations like multi-talker babble, and significantly enhances the signal to noise ratio.
“Building on the success of Genesis AI, Neuro Sound Technology 2.0 lets Starkey offer patients and providers the most innovative and best-sounding products in the industry,” said Achin Bhowmik, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of Engineering. “With the industry’s only neural processing unit fully integrated into the chip, Edge AI is our most powerful noise management system.”
Next-Level Connectivity with Bluetooth LE Audio
Edge AI introduces the next generation of Bluetooth connectivity through Low Energy (LE) Audio, supporting a broader range of devices with fewer dropouts and enhanced performance. LE Audio also features Auracast™ broadcast streaming, enabling users to connect to an expanded variety of audio sources seamlessly.
Starkey is also launching the new StarLink Edge TV Streamer, 60% smaller than previous versions. It uses LE Audio for high-fidelity streaming from televisions to LE Audio-enabled hearing aids like Edge AI.
Health and Wellness Innovations
Starkey has led the industry in incorporating overall health and wellness into the hearing aid, as we were the first to integrate 3D sensors; the first to enable counting steps; the first to track and encourage social engagement; and the first and only manufacturer with a fall detection and alert system in hearing aids. Edge AI features the world’s first and only use of sensors onboard the hearing aid to perform a self-guided balance assessment exercise. Further ensuring that patients already at an increased risk of falls are identified and managed before a fall becomes reality.
Enhanced Mobile Experience
The My Starkey Mobile Application continues to receive enhancements to make the patient’s experience easier and support the new streaming capabilities. Included with Edge AI is Apple Watch support as an extension of the My Starkey app. Patients can adjust volume, programs, or control the Edge Mode+ settings, all from their wrist.
