Vision Source’s yearly gathering, “The Exchange,” happens from April 19-22 in San Antonio. More than 3,000 independent optometrists and opticians gather to discover the latest advancements for their optical offices. The AIMS Eyewear Order Management System will be demoing the latest RFID-enabled system for eye doctors.

The AIMS system is powered by SimplyRFiD’s Wave enterprise inventory system and optimized for eye doctors by the Frame Source Group. AIMS gives eye doctors the ability to compete with online and big-box retail by offering in-person try-ons, fast delivery, and a huge frame selection of 100,000 frames never before seen.

“Ever wonder why the frame you want or saw on a celebrity isn’t there? Because ‘best sellers’ only last on the board for one day!” said Greg Smith, head of sales for Frame Source. “With AIMS, the best sellers go back on the board, and AIMS handles ordering a fresh frame directly from the manufacturer. With AIMS, the best frames are always in stock.”

AIMS is directly integrated with 17 manufacturers sending stock levels and providing online ordering and drop shipping for optometrists.

Premium Healthcare First in the Nation to Debut AI Powered Heart Valve Disease Detection Program

Premium Healthcare First in the Nation to Debut AI Powered Heart Valve Disease Detection Program

Premium Healthcare Beacon Campus is the first medical institute in the nation to deploy SENSORA™ Cardiac Disease Platform by Eko Health to identify structural heart disease

Premium Healthcare SENSORA\u2122 Screening

Premium Healthcare has announced the implementation of SENSORA™ Cardiac Disease Detection Platform by Eko Health to identify structural heart disease. With the launch of Eko Health technology, Premium Healthcare is advancing the way to more accurately and consistently identify valvular heart disease (VHD) in patients during routine visits with their primary care physician (PCP).

“I was brought in to use this advanced new equipment. In what felt like a few moments I was done and received my results immediately. It was a painless quick procedure. Thank god everything is great, and I don’t have anything to worry about,” said Oscar Peñaber, a 72-year-old patient at Premium Healthcare Plus Senior Medical Center. 

By combining murmur analysis artificial intelligence (AI) with its digital stethoscopes, Eko Health has pioneered a non-invasive detection platform that can identify structural murmurs in seconds, so patients can get the treatment they need sooner. Premium Healthcare is the first healthcare institution in the United States to deploy SENSORA™ for structural murmur detection, which was recently cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  

VHD, the most common type of structural heart disease, is a life-threatening condition diagnosed in more than 8 million Americans. Left undetected and untreated, it can lead to heart failure, stroke, blood clots, and death. Older adults have approximately a 1 in 10 chance of developing clinically significant VHD. However, more than half (57%) of clinically significant valvular heart disease goes undetected in this population. SENSORA™ for structural murmur detection more than doubles the likelihood of detecting significant VHD.

“The primary care setting is a patient’s first line of defense for identifying and diagnosing heart disease. However, we know from clinical evidence that detection rates are low,” said Dr. Keila Hoover M.D, Founder and CEO of Premium Healthcare. “We’re excited about the promise of this technology to better serve our patient community by increasing the accuracy and consistency of structural murmur identification and improving the quality of referrals for valve disease treatment.”

Premium Healthcare will debut the use of SENSORA™ for structural murmur detection at their newly opened 5-story tower building, Beacon Campus, on 69th Ave SW Coral Way and their Senior Medical Center in the heart of Westchester, FL.

Premium Healthcare is South Florida’s fastest-growing medical centers, and their introduction of Eko Health’s SENSORA™ Platform at the Beacon Campus is evidence of the medical organization’s commitment to fast-paced technological advancements.

Auditory Processing Institute Study Finds Long COVID ‘Brain Fog’ Linked to Auditory Processing Disorder, an Underdiagnosed Neurological Disorder

Auditory Processing Institute Study Finds Long COVID ‘Brain Fog’ Linked to Auditory Processing Disorder, an Underdiagnosed Neurological Disorder

First Study of Its Kind Outlines Symptoms and Uncovers Proactive Steps Patients Can Take to Get Treatment

Auditory Processing Institute Study Finds Long COVID ‘Brain Fog’ Linked to Auditory Processing Disorder, an Underdiagnosed Neurological Disorder

Long COVID “brain fog” symptoms are linked to auditory processing disorder (APD), an underdiagnosed neurological disorder, suggests a new study from the Auditory Processing Institute of Queensland, Australia, published today in The Hearing Journal. Authored by renowned audiologists Dr. Robert DiSogra and Dr. Angela Loucks Alexander, whose recent TEDx Talk generated more than one million views, the study found that patients can be treated effectively with existing interventions. Unfortunately, APD symptoms can easily be confused with other hearing or neurological issues, so people with these symptoms should proactively talk to their doctors about getting APD testing. 

APD occurs when a patient’s brain has trouble understanding what they hear into usable information, making it difficult to understand and communicate with others. Untreated patients can quickly suffer serious consequences, including an inability to connect with others, strained relationships, poor job performance, and depression. 

“We’ve seen an uptick in patients whose symptoms started after a COVID-19 diagnosis but testing for an auditory processing disorder is rarely recommended. As a result of this study, we can confidently tell people with “brain fog” symptoms to get tested for APD,” says Dr. Angela Loucks Alexander, Director of the Auditory Processing Institute. “Early testing is a simple step that would have saved many of our patients a lot of distress and provided them with treatment much sooner.”

Because “brain fog” symptoms may be caused by a wide variety of neurological and other medical conditions, APD can be overlooked. For patients searching for answers, APD testing could open a new pathway to recovery.

APD patients may experience trouble understanding people when there is background noise, often find that they need information repeated multiple times, and might have trouble remembering what was said to them. The good news is that while it is not widely known to the public, auditory processing disorder is both easy to test for and highly treatable. 

“This is the first end-to-end scientific case study of its kind evaluating a patient’s diagnosis and progress — providing a road map from diagnosis to recovery. It tells us that existing treatments can have excellent results for patients who are experiencing APD symptoms after COVID-19,” said Dr. Robert DiSogra, an Audiology consultant in Millstone, New Jersey. “We hope to see more research as a result of this study.”

Study Summary

Patients who have experienced COVID-19 and are now complaining of “brain fog” may suffer from an Auditory Processing Disorder (APD). 

The Auditory Processing Institute in Queensland, Australia, reported a case study involving a physician without hearing complaints before COVID-19 infection. After tests were administered, it was found that the patient had a significantly impaired ability to understand speech in noise in both ears. Through systematic auditory training, the patient showed significant improvement on all tests after just 12 sessions and resolved his chief complaint of difficulty hearing in noise in a crowded environment. These results suggest that current techniques used in these test batteries can help diagnose an APD related to post-COVID-19 “brain fog” and manage those patients as effectively as non-COVID-19 sufferers.

The authors recommend that people with post-COVID-19 “brain fog” should have an audiologist evaluate their hearing and listening abilities.   

People experiencing “brain fog” symptoms should take this survey and talk to their doctor about APD if any of these scenarios seem familiar:

  • Does any difficulty with your hearing or listening limit your personal or social life?
  • Does a hearing or listening problem cause you difficulty when in a restaurant with relatives or friends?
  • Does a hearing or listening problem cause you to feel left out when you are with a group of people? 
  • Do you have difficulty understanding people who speak quickly or with foreign dialects?
  • Do you feel disadvantaged by one or more of the above problems?

She directs the Auditory Processing Institute, where she trains audiologists and speech-language pathologists to provide APD services. She has also created an online, searchable map to help clients find the help they need at www.APDsupport.com/apdmap.
