CatWalk FurBaby, a 38-minute documentary on the eponymous event that kicked off New York Fashion Week this past February, has been selected as a finalist in this year’s New York City International Fashion Film Festival. 

ELYSIAN, an international luxury lifestyle brand created to inspire and reflect the interests of women over 40, held the inaugural CatWalk FurBaby earlier this year with an all-star team of 10 fashion designers, 10 models and 10 animal rescues, all in one spectacular show. 

“There is a beautiful irony in an ‘underdog’, headquartered in a small town in South Carolina, galvanizing trailblazing women from around the world, in fashion, philanthropy, business, and the environment, to kick off New York Fashion Week in an unforgettable show benefiting animal welfare,” said ELYSIAN Publisher Karen Floyd, who served as the film’s executive producer.

“In a city used to heavy hitters like Vogue and MTV, it is an incredible privilege to be considered for such an amazing award. I’m so proud of our team, who spent countless hours of hard work putting the event and production of the documentary into the limelight. For me personally, it validates ELYSIAN’s ethos in connecting with more and more women across the globe. Women inspiring women.”

The New York City International Fashion Film Festival will be held Sept. 6 and 7; winners will be announced at a gala on Sept. 7.

CatWalk FurBaby partnered with the BISSELL Pet Foundation to distribute grant money to the participating rescues. With nearly 6,000 shelter and rescue partners, this national foundation is committed to ending pet homelessness and finding a loving home for every pet, impacting 665,000 pets since its inception in 2011.

“With so many pets at risk in shelters across the country, BISSELL Pet Foundation was honored to partner with ELYSIAN on the inaugural CatWalk FurBaby event to bring awareness to our lifesaving work, as well as the incredible work of 10 deserving shelters,” said Cathy Bissell, founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation. “We are thrilled the documentary was selected as a finalist in this year’s New York City International Fashion Film Festival and hope it will do even more to spread the message that the best place to find your next pet is at your local animal shelter.”

DRC Ventures, headed by the multifaceted powerhouse Dr. Christina Rahm, was the event’s title sponsor. Rahm and her husband Clayton Thomas served as co-producers of the film.

Rahm, the visionary founder of DRC Ventures — a company whose mission is to create sustainable solutions that challenge the status quo creatively, scientifically, and artistically — walked the runway alongside her models during CatWalk FurBaby’s second half, unveiling the Enviremware line from Merci Dupre Clothiers. The ultimate in luxury eco-fashion and protection, this innovative nano-biotech skin-coating technology offers a barrier against hazardous toxins that could threaten your health without sacrificing style.

“For DRC Ventures and me personally, the mission is to lead the world to better solutions,” Rahm said. “Everyone’s talking about sustainability. That’s fine, but that’s not enough. Our higher potential is to help our species and the world evolve into greatness, letting go of fear, and instead leaving a meaningful legacy for future generations.”

CatWalk FurBaby will return to New York Fashion Week in fall 2024.

VidaTalk’s Talk-to-Translate Feature Will Have a Transformative Impact on Hospitalized Patients With Language Barriers

VidaTalk’s Talk-to-Translate Feature Will Have a Transformative Impact on Hospitalized Patients With Language BarriersAchieving the standard of care, no matter the language or disability.

Vidatak is proud to announce the latest feature, Talk-to-Translate, has just been added to VidaTalk to better ensure providers can deliver equitable care to patients with communication barriers and disabilities on a 24/7 basis.

VidaTalk is a first-in-kind, multilingual, point-of-care communication solution for patients with speech, hearing and language barriers. This customizable app for patients and providers includes picture-option communication selections that generate bilingual text and audio output when selections are made across 40 language profiles, relaxation videos, therapeutic restorative music, video and audio interpreter access, talk-to-text, and now, talk-to-translate. The new talk-to-translate feature released today ensures that even under the rarest circumstances, patients and providers will be able to understand one another.

Language barriers pose significant challenges in healthcare where effective and timely communication is vital. While in-person and remote video and telephonic interpreter services provide this essential service as the standard of care, they simply are not always feasible or available with every patient encounter, especially for languages spoken with lower frequency. 

With delayed or absent access to interpreters, providers find themselves unable to communicate with or understand their patients. This communication gap exposes patients to significant risk of harm, misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, and delayed or absent treatment. While for complex conversations, such as discharge instructions, Google Translate has been shown to be unreliable, in certain circumstances, it may be necessary.

“As VidaTalk continues to harness the technologies that drive equitable experiences for vulnerable patient populations, it is essential for hospitals to consider what their standard of care actually delivers with respect to a real-time multilingual experience and a human-centered approach to care.” – Dr. Patak, CEO of Vidatak

Vidatak’s Chief Experience Officer, Lisa Spencer, shares a personal experience she had with a loved one: “My family member could not communicate his needs and symptoms. It was frustrating and heartbreaking for everyone. I’m not alone. Every hospital is caring for patients with speech, hearing and language barriers. For patients that don’t speak the same language as their caregivers, using certified interpreters is the gold standard; but, when no one with language services is available, patients still need to communicate. That’s why I’m so excited that VidaTalk now has this new talk-to-translate feature. No one deserves to suffer or be in pain for hours, or even an entire weekend, simply because an interpreter can’t be reached.”

By ensuring that multilingual communication can occur in real time at the point of care, VidaTalk validates the highest standard of care, establishing a mechanism for effective communication for patients who have speech, hearing or language barriers. This vital connection can alleviate patient distress, enhance trust, and contribute to a more positive healthcare experience. When patients feel understood and supported, they are more likely to actively engage in their own healthcare journey, leading to better compliance, faster recovery, and enhanced overall well-being.

VidaTalk has revolutionized the healthcare experience for hospitalized patients who cannot speak, cannot hear, or have limited English proficiency. “As VidaTalk continues to harness the technologies that drive equitable experiences for vulnerable patient populations, it is essential for hospitals to consider what their standard of care actually delivers with respect to a real-time multilingual experience and a human-centered approach to care,” states Dr. Patak, CEO of Vidatak.

Curiteva Announces World’s First 3D Printed PEEK Device With Regulatory Clearance Reaches Full Commercial Launch in the United States

Curiteva Announces World’s First 3D Printed PEEK Device With Regulatory Clearance Reaches Full Commercial Launch in the United StatesThe company pioneered and received clearance earlier this year on the world’s first 3D printed, fully interconnected porous PEEK interbody.

Curiteva, a privately held technology and manufacturing company based in Huntsville, AL announces the commercial launch of its Inspire Porous PEEK HAFUSE Cervical Interbody System. 

The company pioneered and received clearance earlier this year on the world’s first 3D printed, fully interconnected porous PEEK interbody. This extraordinary advancement in additive manufacturing of polymers creates a new classification of interbody fusion devices with optimal characteristics for bony healing.

“We are very pleased with the positive surgeon feedback we received during our limited release in April. Now with full commercialization, the team is excited to see continued adoption of our novel 3D printed porous PEEK implant with HAFUSE Technology,” stated Mark Mohlman, EVP. “This launch is just the beginning as we continue to develop our additional lumbar portfolio scheduled for launch in 2024.”

The Inspire platform is manufactured with a proprietary, patented Fused Filament Fabrication 3D printer designed, programmed, and built by Curiteva. This ground-breaking additive process produces a fully interconnected and integrated porous structure traversing the entire implant to promote osseointegration, improve radiographic assessment, and deliver superior biomechanics. The first-to-market combination of the HAFUSE nanotechnology surface treatment and novel porous PEEK structure creates a hydrophilic, bioactive environment for cell attachment, proliferation, and healing in pre-clinical animal and in vitro studies.

“Curiteva received FDA clearance in February, initiated our alpha release in April and scaled to a commercial launch in July. I am proud of the entire Curiteva team for another milestone achievement and grateful to our surgeons and distributors for their patience and support,” commented CEO Mike English. 

The Inspire technology will be featured at the NASS meeting later this year. 

Curiteva is a privately held technology and manufacturing company dedicated to advancing spine surgery and improving clinical outcomes by partnering with providers and suppliers to deliver innovative and intuitive implant systems to the market. Our business is founded on a commitment to building world-class manufacturing, accelerating research and development, maintaining lean operational discipline, and delivering novel technology to meet the evolving needs of our customers and the patients they serve.

Happy Head Launches New All-in-One Hair Growth SuperCapsule for Women

Happy Head Launches New All-in-One Hair Growth SuperCapsule for Women

Happy Head and Its Dermatologists Have Developed an All-in-One Daily Capsule With Spironolactone, Minoxidil and Vitamin D3 to Treat Women’s Hair Loss

Happy Head today announces the launch of its new hair-growing 3-in-1 SuperCapsuleTM for women under 50. Designed by top-of-the-line board-certified dermatologists and hair restoration experts, these once-daily hair growth capsules were formulated with the strongest prescription-grade ingredients designed specifically for women’s hair growth. These SuperCapsulesTM are the first of their kind, infusing FDA-approved ingredients including Spironolactone, Minoxidil, and Vitamin D3 all into a single daily capsule.

Hair loss is a condition that affects millions of people, causing intense psychological and emotional distress. And women make up more than 40 percent of those struggling with hair loss and female pattern baldness. However, women are often left with limited treatment options: many treatments are designed only with male biology in mind. But with hair loss being so closely tied to hormone levels in the body, many treatment options come with undesirable side effects for women or are just flat-out ineffective.

Happy Head launched its first SuperCapsuleTM geared towards men and women over age 50 in January 2023. After seeing huge success with the product, the company has decided to expand the portfolio and launch a version especially designed for the needs of women under 50. This new formulation was designed specifically with women under 50 in mind. The main ingredients of the capsule include Spironolactone, Minoxidil, and Vitamin D3, which are some of the strongest, clinically proven hair growth medicines on the market. Dermatologists say three to six months of daily SuperCapsuleTM use will not only help regrow lost hair, but also prevent future hair loss. 

“There are several key differences between hair loss patterns in men and women,” said Dr. Ben Behnam, M.D., FAAD, and co-founder of Happy Head. “These differences are essential to consider when it comes to making an effective treatment plan. There is a lot of emotional suffering when people are dealing with hair loss. At Happy Head, we hope to ease some of the psychological effects of hair loss and aim to give both men and women renewed confidence regarding their hair.” 

About Happy Head

Happy Head is a telemedicine provider of dermatologist-prescribed, customized hair medicine and treatments. Founded in 2021, Happy Head specializes in customized formulas to prevent and treat hair loss in both men and women. Happy Head products are backed by some of the best dermatologists and hair restoration experts in the industry. The company hopes to help people struggling with hair loss to not only regrow their hair, but also regain their confidence and sense of self that is sometimes caused by hair loss.
