AccendoWave - A Pain #Data Company Spending on #pain research is inadequate given how common and costly chronic pain is. Pain represents a fraction of our research spending, while failure to treat pain costs society more than $635 billion each year. Innovation in #PainCare like AccendoWave is needed to fill the gaps. A Top 4 Global Health Equity Solution and Top 15 Global Remote Monitoring Company, AccendoWave, benchmarks objective brain wave pain data (specialty, gender, age) and has nine #pain databases: Emergency Department, Maternal Health, Oncology, MSK, Medical Surgical, ICU, Women, Adults, Seniors to eliminate bias, improve outcomes and reduce health care costs. If desired, AccendoWave can also create customized pain databases for partners that can be accessed on the Datavant platform. https://lnkd.in/dja2s6ne

I leapt at the opportunity to attend two Naloxone (Narcan) training sessions this past week, first, in Hillsborough County presented by my esteemed colleague, Melina Santos, MPH, CBHC, and another in Pinellas County with the revered, Dan Zsido. While both presentations covered much ground, I want to mention some basics: 👉🏼 What is Narcan? Narcan, or Naloxone, is an opioid antagonist that rapidly reverses an opioid overdose. 🧠 How does it work? Narcan/Naloxone reverses the effects of opioids by binding to receptors in the brain. This blocks the effects of opioids and restores normal breathing. 🌍 Why is it crucial? With overdoses on the rise, Narcan/Naloxone empowers communities to act quickly to save lives and bridges gaps until professional help can arrive. 💡 How can you get it? While Narcan/Naloxone is available at local pharmacies, it can be picked up for free at any department of health (DOH) location throughout Florida. To find your nearest DOH location with availability, check https://isavefl.com/ Harm reduction organizations such as IDEA Exchange Tampa also distribute Narcan/Naloxone along with additional services they offer. 💜 Together we can make a difference! Special thanks to Melina Santos, MPH, CBHC and Dan Zsido! #Narcan #Naloxone #OpioidAwareness #HealthEducation #CommunityHealth #HarmReduction

Understanding the complexity of the overdose crisis is essential to making impactful changes. The typical individual who succumbs to an overdose today often battles with the use of multiple substances, such as fentanyl combined with stimulants like cocaine or methamphetamine. Despite significant investments and advancements in care for opioid users, we still face a daunting challenge in curbing overdose fatalities. A crucial missing piece is addressing the needs of those who co-use opioids and stimulants. This is where comprehensive education tools, like Heal-O, become indispensable. It's time to broaden our scope and develop strategies that encompass the full spectrum of substance use. Together, we can make a real difference. #OpioidCrisis #HarmReduction #PublicHealth #SubstanceUseDisorder #HealO

June is #AphasiaAwarenessMonth, a time to spread knowledge and understanding about aphasia—a condition impacting communication. At Acquired Brain Injury Ireland, our creATe team is dedicated to breaking down barriers and empowering communication through innovative digital devices. Aphasia often results from brain injuries like strokes, affecting a person's ability to read, write or speak. Our creATe team provides personalised support to help individuals with aphasia reclaim their voices, like brain injury survivor, John, who, through a speech-generating app and our continuous support, regained his ability to communicate. There are two ways you can help people with #Aphasia ✅ Educate: Learn about aphasia and share your knowledge. ✅ Advocate: Support policies for better access to speech therapy and technology. Join us in celebrating the resilience of those living with aphasia and their families. Together, we can make a difference! 💬 #AssistiveTech #InclusiveTech #AphasiaSupport
