Digital health start-up h2o Therapeutics today announced a collaboration with global healthcare company AmerisourceBergen to support the commercialization of Parky, a prescription mobile app cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for monitoring certain symptoms in adults with Parkinson’s Disease. 

The Parky app, which is compatible with the Movement Disorder API developed by Apple Inc., monitors symptoms such as tremors and dyskinesia in real time via the use of Apple Inc.’s Apple Watch. It is a direct-to-patient tool for sharing meaningful and reliable data between patients and medical professionals regarding the course of the disease. As part of a pilot arrangement, AmerisourceBergen will facilitate patient engagement and health system integration services as part of its DTx Connect solution. 

“Following the recent FDA clearance, we continue to focus on strategies and solutions that will enable us to expand patient access to Parky,” said Yagmur Selin Gulmus, the founder of h2o Therapeutics. “Through this arrangement with AmerisourceBergen, our goal is to reduce barriers along the patient journey, improve access and expand our commercial reach. In support of the Parkinson’s Disease community, we are proud to launch our patient-oriented technology during Parkinson’s Awareness Month.”

“Digital therapeutics offer tremendous potential, but developers face unique challenges that can affect market access and product potential,” said Alex Kilgore, PharmD, Product Manager, Global Products and Solutions at AmerisourceBergen. “We look forward to supporting h2o Therapeutics and will leverage our digital health capabilities to help patients start on the Parky app following a prescription.” 

Parkinson’s Disease, the fastest-growing neurological disorder, affects more than 10 million people worldwide, including about one million people in the United States, according to the Parkinson’s Foundation. The Parky App aims to help healthcare providers develop a profile of the patient in daily life, bridging the gap between real-life and in-clinic settings. 

AmerisourceBergen offers a wide range of services to support DTx developers and biopharmaceutical companies across the commercialization journey, including market access consulting, distribution and patient support services. The company in 2022 announced its plans to develop and launch DTx Connect, a cloud-based, fully integrated ordering, dispensing, and fulfillment platform that aims to facilitate patient access to physician-ordered digital therapeutics and digital diagnostics. 

“During Parkinson’s Awareness Month, AmerisourceBergen could not be prouder to stand together with Parkinson’s Disease patients, their families and healthcare providers, and innovative digital health technology developers like h2o Therapeutics to support the best patient care,” said Jason Dinger, Senior Vice President of Global Products and Solutions at AmerisourceBergen.

The RxSight™ Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is the first and only intraocular lens (IOL) that can be adjusted for improved vision even after cataract surgery. As a longtime premium laser cataract surgeon, Mark Mandel, MD, of Optima Ophthalmic Medical Associates, has always been a pioneer in this field. He is pleased to be at the forefront of this exciting development in IOLs. 

For years, premium IOLs have been used in cataract surgery to replace natural lenses that have become clouded with cataracts. These IOLs have a set power that can correct for certain refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism and allow patients to reduce their dependence on prescription eyewear. Until LALs, however, no premium lens could be adjusted after being inserted into the eye. LALs have light-sensitive molecules that can be manipulated with light. This enables Dr. Mandel to alter the shape and power of the LAL for improved vision.  

Following surgery, Dr. Mandel can adjust the LALs multiple times (sometimes only once is necessary) until finding the crispest vision possible for the patient. This allows the patient to stop wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses in most situations (though reading glasses may still be required for small print). 

By the age of 80, over half of all Americans have developed cataracts. Although cataracts are one of the leading causes of vision impairment, vision can be restored with a safe and effective cataract surgical procedure. Dr. Mandel is excited to offer even better care to his cataract patients thanks to the advent of LALs, well ahead of fellow ophthalmologists in Northern California. 

More About Mark Mandel, MD

Mark Mandel, MD, is a Bay Area premium cataract, LASIK and corneal specialist with offices in San Jose, Hayward, Castro Valley and Concord. He is one of the most experienced cataract surgeons in the state of California. After earning degrees at Oxford University and the UCLA School of Medicine, he completed his ophthalmology residency at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco. He is recognized annually as a “TOP DOCTOR” by Castle Connolly and is known among his peers as “the doctor’s doctor” because so many of his patients are doctors themselves.   

To schedule a consultation for cataract surgery with or without LALs, please contact Dr. Mandel by calling 877-210-2020, extension 3, or by sending an email to [email protected].

LOS ANGELES, April 26, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Space Tea is proud to announce the world’s first adaptogenic mushroom iced tea and lemonade beverage with four flavors—Original, Mango, Lemon Zero, Matcha Zero—now available at The Vitamin Shoppe locations nationwide. Space Tea is certified organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, and kosher, using Reishi mushrooms and Lion’s Mane mushrooms. 

“The Vitamin Shoppe and Space Tea have partnered to roll out Space Tea, the world’s first mushroom tea and lemonade beverage,” co-founder & CEO Gabriel Heymann said. “It is a refreshing and classic blend of iced tea and lemonade with a new twist: brewed with non-psychoactive functional Reishi mushrooms and Lion’s Mane mushrooms for uplifting energy, calm focus, and mood-boosting.”   

According to tamimteas.com, functional mushrooms with Lion’s Mane, Reishi, and Chaga have been used as natural remedies to soothe and heal the body for centuries, supporting digestion, energy, the immune system, mental clarity, mood, relaxation, and sleep. Adaptogens are herbs that can help the body’s stress response systems and improve the ability to adapt and restore after stress exposure. 

“Space Tea is full of high-quality ingredients used for centuries to promote focus and mental clarity,” Heymann said. “Our latest expansion enables more people to experience the potential benefits of Reishi and Lion’s Mane mushroom in an amazing-tasting beverage format, and we are proud to lead the industry in this way.” 

According to Research and Markets, the size of the global functional beverage market was estimated at $147 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $208 billion in 2027. 

Grand View Research has found that the global functional mushroom market reached sales of $26 billion in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate of 10.8% being predicted between 2022 and 2030 attributed to the growing popularity of functional mushrooms that can be found in a variety of healthcare and pharmaceutical products. 

Space Tea’s partnership with The Vitamin Shoppe follows a successful Space Tea launch over 390 Sprouts Farmers Market locations, one of the fastest-growing retailers in the country.  

Launched in August 2021, Space Tea quickly became a bestseller garnering a substantial following across Southern California. It is also available at Bristol Farms, Earthbar, Erewhon Market, Lazy Acres, Mother’s Market and Sun Life.
