HomeSoap UV Sanitizer | Patented & Clinically Proven UV Light Disinfector

Our new, larger unit is built to sanitize tablets and smaller home items. Based on popular demand we’ve added an On & Off switch that can be used to toggle between manual and automatic modes or turn off your UV-C lights at any time. Like our smartphone sanitizers, this unit can also charge while it sanitizes through the built-in USB ports. Whatever fits inside HomeSoap will be sanitized, so you can clean anything from a pacifier to remote control.

Sanitizing

It takes 10 minutes. The glowing bolt turns on while your device is being sanitized and shuts off when the process is complete. HomeSoap was designed for any item that fits inside. The UV light is most effective on hard, non-porous surfaces. The UV light is less effective against fabrics and other porous materials because of the many shadows they create that may block the UV light from hitting the surface.  The UV light can only kill germs on surfaces with which it comes in contact.

While HomeSoap physically fits many objects, its effectiveness on your item may be reduced on the surfaces that come in contact with the HomeSoap’s inner plastic chamber. To guarantee maximum effectiveness on every surface of your device, set your item centered on the bottom quartz plate. If it rests on the side of HomeSoap, make sure it rests on the vertical quartz tubes, not the plastic side, for 360 degrees sanitizing.

With 27 times the sanitizing space of the original PhoneSoap, you can disinfect anything. From children’s toys, pacifiers, bottles, and books, to tablets, headphones, remote controls, and more.

It’s what’s inside that matters
Two large, powerful UV-C lights and a reflective inner surface allow the light to surround your item and ensure the destruction of any unwelcome guests.

Digital Health Tools Boost Care Quality, Reduce Provider Burden

0

More physicians than ever before are recognizing digital health tools as an advantage for driving efficiency and safety in healthcare while also reducing provider burden, according to a recent study from the American Medical Association (AMA).

The AMA first evaluated health technology integration into clinical practices back in 2016. Since then, digital health tools have grown significantly and shown no sign of slowing down.

One-third of physicians intend to adopt emerging technologies within the year.

Eighty-seven percent of physicians reported at least some advantage in digital health tools.

And the percentage of physicians who failed to see any advantage is trending downwards.

“The rise of the digital-native physician will have a profound impact on healthcare and patient outcomes, and will place digital health technologies under pressure to perform according to higher expectations,” Jesse M. Ehrenfeld, MD, MPH, board chair of the AMA, explained in a press release.

Physicians are attracted to digital health because they allow them to provide care remotely and help to reduce provider stress and burn out. Improved efficiency and increased patient safety are vital for value-based care.

But liability coverage is the most important requirement for physician adoption of digital health tools, the study said, with electronic medical record (EHR) integration and data privacy following close behind.

AMA mentioned key drivers in the shift to digital healthcare including adoption trends in telehealth visits, remote patient monitoring, remote monitoring for efficiency, clinical decision support, patient engagement, point of care, and consumer access to clinical data.

Although the use of all the digital tools included in the survey increased, physician adoption of telehealth visits saw the greatest increase, doubling from 14 percent in 2016 to 28 percent in 2019. This category included audio and video connections used to care for home-bound patients.

Bubble pop cleanser

Everything You Need to Know about Vanav Bubble pop cleanser

Revolutionize the way you cleanse your face. Get radiant looking skin using Vanav Bubble pop cleanser. An innovative face cleansing technology that also improves microcirculation for more radiant and younger-looking skin.

Features:

  • Offers clean, soft and radiant skin
    10x better cleansing
    Skin cleansing is more effective than hand-cleansing
    2 speed settings for gentle and deep cleansing
    Cordless up to 30 uses without charging
    Battery Indicator: Icon Indicates battery life
    Waterproof: Can be used in the shower

Take your everyday skincare routine to the next level with the sleek, compact Vanav Bubble Pop Cleanser. Its advanced technology gently enables up to 10x better face cleaning, leaving your skin feeling radiant and soft. Daily use of this device enhances the effectiveness of your skincare products. Once done, the device automatically stops after the full face program in this mode. The brush gently breaks and sweeps dirt, dead skin cells, makeup, etc. leaving your skin deeply cleansed than ever before.

Spin and Core Brushes

The Vanav Bubble Pop Cleanser’s brush heads rotate and vibrate at the same time.

The vertical pulsating movement of these brushes gently breaks up dead skin cells, dirt, and makeup residue while the rotating movement sweeps all the impurities away.

Together these vibrating and rotating movements leave your skin, deeply cleansed.

Auto Bubble creator

Dual brushes and bubble wing structure technology creates bubbles automatically which reduces skin irritation and cleanses completely covering the whole area of exposure.

The bubbles created also reduce wastage as you require only a minimal amount of cleansing gel / cream to be applied.

Say no to using hands while cleansing

Its old fashioned! Its toxic! The skin is exposed to a lot of pollutants and chemicals which are unseen to the naked eye. Using the old-fashioned soap and water is just not enough. Alternatively using a face cleansing brush is very effective, especially for those who suffer from sensitive skin or who are prone to breakouts.

The Vanav Bubble pop Cleanser will apply even pressure all over the face, your skin will be left feeling considerably smoother than if you had merely hand washed, giving you a brighter and clearer look. With a deeper and more thorough cleaning, the pores will not be as clogged up. And as the contaminants are cleared from deep inside the pores, they will appear to shrink in size.

Benefits of a Cleansing Brush. Deeper Thorough Cleansing

Several results are accomplished while using a face cleansing brush. First, you get a deeper cleansing of your pores, leaving you with need for extractions than you normally would. Your skin pores will expand depending on how much dust, debris and oil have collected in them.

Vanav’s Bubble Pop Cleanser also helps you get a thorough even exfoliation so that over time your pores will be completely clean leaving you with skin that looks smoother, cleaner, and fresher. Dead skin cells will remove substantially leaving the pores clean and avoiding black heads and acne.

Want to See the Future of Digital Health Tools? Look to Germany.

In late 2019, Germany’s parliament passed the Digital Health Care Act (Digitale-Versorgung-Gesetz, or DVG) — an ambitious law designed to catalyze the digital transformation of the German health care system, which has historically been a laggard in that area among peer countries.

It is already leading to meaningful changes and will be a boon to the development and evaluation of digital health tools as well as the generation of insights into the value they create.

In the immediate wake of the DVG’s passage, the Covid-19 pandemic has further underscored the need for safe and effective digital tools to support remote patient monitoring and care delivery worldwide.

The timely introduction of the DVG means that Germany is poised to set an example for other countries in seeing what works (and what does not) in the adoption and diffusion of digital technologies for improving patient outcomes.

Perhaps the DVG’s most important provisions are its formalization of “prescribable applications” (Digitale Gesundheitsanwendungen, or DiGA), which include standard software, SaaS, and mobile as well as browser-based apps, and the creation of the Fast-Track Process, an accelerated regulatory path for companies to take their digital health applications to market.

Following a streamlined review, an app can be added to a central registry of apps that can be prescribed by physicians and psychotherapists and will be reimbursed by all of Germany’s statutory health insurance providers, which cover 90% of the population, or roughly 73 million individuals.

The Fast-Track process is run by the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte, or BfArM), which plays many of the same roles in Germany that the FDA does in the United States); BfArM also maintains the DiGA registry.

The first five apps have already been added to the registry and offer support for patients to manage conditions including tinnitus, obesity, agoraphobia, osteoarthritis, and insomnia.

The latest generation of the Sensica Sensilift is now here. The Sensilift Bronze is designed to tone and tighten fine lines and wrinkles using state-of-the-art dynamic radio frequency technology.

SENSILIFT BRONZE VS SENSILIFT: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

The Bronze device uses exactly the same technology as the original device, however the software has been upgraded meaning you get a quicker and quieter treatment. It also comes in a brand new luxury bronze colour and an additional carry bag, meaning you can carry on your treatments whether you’re home or away.

DYNAMIC RADIO FREQUENCY

Sensica have stepped ahead in anti-ageing solutions with their Dynamic RF technology that’s a combination of traditional Radio Frequency technology and facial massaging. The Radio Frequency waves gently penetrate your skin’s tissue, reaching the deepest layers of your skin – the dermal layers, where collagen fibres can be found.

When these collagen fibres are safely heated to the optimum temperature, they cause the skin to tighten and improve its elasticity. Its unique massaging feature has been proven to multiply the Radio Frequency wave lengths to go deeper into your skin’s layers at the same time.

AWARD-WINNING BEAUTY

Sensica Sensilift recently won gold in the Get The Gloss Beauty & Wellness Awards. A panel of skincare and beauty experts on the judging panel hailed Sensilift the winner of the ‘At-Home Hero’ category – a particularly relevant category for 2020 for tools that deliver expert results at home.

Judge and aesthetic doctor, Dr Sophie Shotter, said “the science behind this FDA-cleared device is real for stimulating collagen and achieving firmer, tighter skin. It feels like a treat to use.”

Benefits

  • The latest generation of Sensilift devices
  • Non-invasive, safe and effective method
  • Long-term, lasting results
  • Treats your face and neck
  • Lifts and tightens the skin
  • Visibly improves the appearance of lines and wrinkles

PAINLESS TREATMENTS

The device’s innovative Sapphire Freezing technology effectively cools the skin, reducing the heat output and protecting the epidermis. In doing so, it also makes each treatment painless and non-invasive.

The flat head of the device has been specifically designed to ensure maximum contact is made with the skin, making treatments easy to conduct and treating the hair effectively at the shaft. This improves the absorption of energy at the hair follicle and slows down hair regrowth.

As well as operating 5 different intensity settings, the device also comes with 2 treatment modes so you can effectively target different areas of the body.

Continuous Play Mode

This mode enables you to glide the device over the skin, perfect for treating larger areas of the body like the legs and arms. Place the device in full contact with the skin and continuously move the device slowly over the area you are treating.

Single Play Mode

For a more targeted treatment use the Single Play Mode which enables you to short press the device over smaller treatment areas. This device will emit a single flash of light, then move onto the next area and repeat.

HOW TO USE

Step 1: Shave the treatment area with a razor before using the device.

Step 2: Plug in the device.

Step 3: Wear the goggles provided to protect your eyes.

Step 4: Press the power button and select an intensity.

Step 5: Make sure the device is in direct contact with your skin and move the device over the treatment area until you have treated all desired areas.

Sleep Apnea Testing at Home

Obstructive sleep apnea is very common and is associated with a variety of serious health issues, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Getting a proper diagnosis is hampered by the need for patients to visit a sleep clinic and undergo polysomnography.

This gold-standard test is complicated and requires specialized staff to interpret the results. To address these issues, a company called Sunrise has developed an at-home sleep apnea test that relies on a small wearable device. The device consists of a small sensor that a user can attach to their chin when they are about to go to sleep.

The sensor records movements of the jaw, which correlates with sleep events using artificial intelligence. Sunrise has recently launched the device in the UK, and it is relatively inexpensive, starting at £49 ($66). Medgadget had the opportunity to talk to Laurent Martinot, CEO & Co-founder of Sunrise, about the technology.

Due to its prevalence and its link with obesity and chronic cardio-metabolic diseases, Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is a real public health problem. OSA is primarily responsible for symptoms such as daytime sleepiness (caused by sleep fragmentation), fatigue, irritability, and snoring, possibly accompanied by a feeling of suffocation or suffocation during sleep.

Non-restful sleep is accompanied by difficulty concentrating, nocturia (waking up to urinate more than once per night), libido disturbances, and disturbances in vigilance. OSA can also be responsible for disrupting the quality of life of spouses/bed neighbors of the sufferer. OSA is thus at the origin of a significant deterioration in the quality of life which can also be the origin of accidents at work and on the road. OSA is also associated with long-term consequences: cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (arterial hypertension, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, etc.), and metabolic (diabetes, obesity), and cognitive effects. It is described as an independent predictor of mortality.
