CareClix, a mHealth & Telemedicine company, announces the release of a first-of-its-kind virtual medical examination suite- CareClix Exam


Fairfax County, Virginia (PRWEB) April 23, 2013

CareClix, a mobile health and telemedicine company based in the Washington, DC area, announces the release of a first-of-its-kind virtual medical examination kiosk named CareClix Exam. The medical examination cart is powered by CareClix as its core and incorporates up to 14 different FDA approved devices in order to transmit additional data into the CareClix core processor. Doctors may therefore remotely listen to breath or heart sounds anywhere in the world when a patient walks into one of these virtual examination rooms or examine a skin lesion remotely. The potential medical benefits and enhanced patient care is possible through the CareClix platform and modern-day device integration. Such technology will provide unprecedented clinical benefits to patients for disease management, states Sunil Budhrani, MD, MPH, CareClixs Director of Medical Operations.


Using the CareClix platform as its core or "brain", CareClix Exam permits any brick-and-mortar examination room to be converted into a telemedicine suite with clinical data including blood pressure, pulse, pulse oximetry, temperature, skin, oral, and ocular findings to be obtained via FDA approved devices. With CareClix powering the system, an employer Medical Suite or a primary care doctor's office may provide an enhanced level of clinical care due to the additional medical information derived from these supplemental devices.


Additionally, using similar devices such as glucometers, cardiac scales, and blood-pressure monitors, patients may be remotely monitored from home by medical providers in order to insure their conditions are remaining stable and not worsening. The proprietary web-based software, CareClix Home, may be accessed by patients from home via their Patient Portal and this clinical information may be transmitted from their devices such as a blue tooth glucometer for diabetics, creating an alert to a provider remotely. In essence, the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is taken to the next level, and an integrated delivery system enhances the physician-patient relationship.


CareClix Exam and CareClix Home represent exclusive products powered by the core CareClix processor. This makes CareClix and its technology unique in that it is the only integrated telemedicine platform providing a continuum of telehealth services-telephone and video access to a doctor 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to the virtual examination room, and to the patient centered medical home.

In A Study, People Prefer Using Virtual Reality For Losing Weight

Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) May 09, 2013

On a report written for sciencedaily.com, it was discovered by the International Food Information Council Foundation that half of consumers were actually interested in including more protein in their diets, and 37% thinks that successful weight loss is more guaranteed when protein is integrated into their diet. In a recent study, it was found that a high amount of women who took in more protein into their diet actually lost weight.


Across a national sample of individuals, almost 2,000 midlife women (40 to 60 years of age) were asked to describe perceptions about protein sources and requirements, identify the reported frequency of using the 'eating more protein practice to prevent weight gain, and compare reported protein intake to reported frequency of using the eating more protein practice to prevent weight gain.


A high majority of the women correctly identified good sources of protein, and were able to indicate the correct daily amount of dietary energy recommended from protein. 43% of women knew that eating more protein as a practice actually helped them lose weight. Over a two year time period, the use of the eat more protein practice helped women lose weight.


Aside from ingesting protein to help your body lose weight, another way to lose weight is through utilizing diet supplements. One such diet pill that is a great way for losing weight is Prescopodene, all without being infected with worms. Prescopodene has been found to help reduce weight in overweight and obese individuals. The diet pill was recently named one of the Best Diet Pills of 2012 by The Diet Pill Review, an independent industry review group Prescopodene earned perfect scores for safety, effectiveness, and speed of results.

In A Study, People Prefer Using Virtual Reality For Losing Weight

Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) May 14, 2013

According to sciencedaily.com, there is a recent study found that explores different ways of losing weight. The major point of the study focused on using virtual reality for weight loss and weight management.


In the study, results came from twenty overweight and obese people, who focused on either face to face or virtual reality methods of weight management. It was found that by using virtual reality, weight loss and weight maintenance was considered more favorable to those who deal with face to face interactions with real people. Debra Sullivan, lead investigator, adds, "Although we found weight loss was significantly greater for face-to-face compared to virtual reality, weight maintenance was significantly better for virtual reality."


The virtual program used in the testing was Second Life, which is virtual reality environment, which is used by the public to interact with one another.


Dr. Sullivan explains, "Individuals who want to participate in real-life scenarios without real-life repercussions can use virtual reality. For example, participants can practice meal planning, grocery shopping, and dietary control when eating at restaurants and holiday parties to a much greater extent with Second Life compared with the time-limited clinic meeting. Virtual reality may even be able to serve as a more feasible option to monitor individuals after completing a weight loss program."


Another way one could consider losing weight is by using diet supplements. One such diet pill that is a great way for losing weight is Prescopodene, all without being infected with worms.
