ARM & US TRUSTEDCARE INC PARTNER TO INTEGRATE WEARABLE & MEDICAL DEVICES FOR ACCOUNTABLE CARE US TrustedCare Inc., an Austin-based digital health company, and ARM, the world's leading semiconductor IP com- pany, are collaborating to enable new medical devices for the emerging accountable healthcare sector. The goal is to develop medical devices for use in the care of patients with chronic conditions in a way that allows a wide variety of providers to access information in a secure, authenticated and auditable man- ner. Allowing patients to recover at home and transition to a monitored wellness lifestyle should be the norm of future healthcare. ARM and TrustedCare's collabora- tion will create firmware, software tech- nologies and APIs based on existing and emerging standards for bridging health care and wellness. These technologies will offer the industry telecare standards to enable healthcare and wellness device manufacturers to seamlessly integrate with a wide variety of healthcare man- agement systems, significantly reducing current complex integration issues. TrustedCare and ARM jointly sub- mitted a proposal to the "Move Health Data Forward Challenge," sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Humans Services' (HHS) Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) and were selected as a winner of Phase 1. (www.hhs.gov/about/news/2016/11/02/h hs-announces-phase-1-winners-move- health-data-forward- challenge.html) "ARM is the most widely deployed processor technology in smartphones and wearables, devices we expect to be the main platform for securely gathering med- ical data and acquiring a patient's biomet- ric identity and consent,""said Shiv Ramamurthi, Healthcare Technology Director, ARM. "TrustedCare is a pioneer in remote monitoring and together we can help improve health care efficiency by enabling providers to gather trusted data, helping them make timely clinical deci- sions and deliver better care at lower cost." "TrustedCare is focused on allowing healthcare providers to work in a coordi- nated way to enable the sustained recov- ery of patients. We are excited to work with ARM to create a new level of capa- bility that allows providers to deliver more positive outcomes for patients as well as benefiting from the shared sav- ings that will be generated," said TrustedCare Chief Executive Officer Ramkrishna Prakash. "This collaboration will alleviate the burgeoning issue of technology integra- tion facing the healthcare industry by standardizing communication interfaces and thereby significantly reducing the cost to integrate medical and wearable devices while at the same time bringing a new level of security and accountability in care delivery," said Betty Otter Nickerson, ex-Chief Executive Officer of Sage HealthCare.

DECIBULLZ INTRODUCES NEW THERMO-FIT CUSTOM-MOLDED EARPHONES Decibullz ® Custom Audio introduces the next generation of its award winning DIY custom molded earphones, the Contour ES. Part of Decibullz's Easy-Mold System, the custom fitted earpieces are now interchangeable with all of Decibullz's new products. Decibullz introduced the first thermo-fit custom molded earphones three years ago. It was its mission to create a set of earphones that would stay in and stay comfortable for active individuals. Winner of two CES Innovation Awards (2014 and 2016) and winner of USA Today's Reviewed.com Best In-Ear Headphone of 2015, Decibullz uses unique DIY thermoplastic custom-fit earpieces to create comfortable, perfect-fitting ear- phones that will not fall out while being active. With a passion for inno- vation, inventor and Chief Executive Officer Kyle Kirkpatrick has contin- ued to improve the award-winning earphones. "In addition to expanding our line of products, we wanted to continue to innovate and improve upon our award- winning earphones. The new Contour ES earphones now feature a new three- button remote; thicker, stronger and more durable cables; and machined alu- minum earphone casings. Most impor- tant, though, is the improved sound quality. The new Contour ES includes an updated more powerful sound engine featuring large 9.2 mm drivers for a clean, powerful and balanced listening experience. The new sound engine com- bined with the superior noise isolation and secure fit of the Decibullz custom earpieces creates a phenomenal listen- ing experience." When heated in water, Decibullz's unique thermoplastic earpieces soften. Once the mold is allowed to cool, the user then places the earpiece into his ear, molding it to an exact fit in min- utes, without the need for an expen- sive audiologist. "The result is a smooth transition from biological to mechanical. This keeps the earphones from falling out and eliminates all pressure points," explained Kirkpatrick. Unlike other custom molds, the unique thermoplastic earpieces can be reheated and reshaped as many times as needed to achieve the perfect-fitting ear- phones. "For me, headphones were always uncomfortable, and earphones would always fall out," concluded Kirkpatrick, who is a former gymnast, extreme ath- lete and elite gymnastics coach. "Our goal was to create limitless audio, a per- fect fitting earphone that enables users to comfortably listen no matter what they are doing. The new Contour ES provides another quality, affordable custom option, so users can listen to what they love while doing what they love!" About Decibullz Decibullz is a brand that caters to people who seek quality, comfort and optimal fit in earphones and earplugs. After exten- sive research, creator Kyle Kirkpatrick concluded that the only way to fit ear- phones precisely is to mold them to the exact shape of the user's ear. Decibullz was created to solve this problem with an affordable, quick and easy solution. Decibullz are the first thermo-fit custom- molded earphones and the only re-mold- able custom earpieces.
