Johnson Controls, the global leader for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings and architect of the Open Blue digital platforms, has released the latest version of Tyco American Dynamics victor and VideoEdge video management systems, offering accelerated deployment, more powerful analytics, and optimized video management and control. The powerful victor and Video Edge 5.7 solutions deliver on the Johnson Controls commitment to empower customers with technology to maintain safe building environments, healthy business operations and seamless occupant experiences.

Offering more powerful camera features, enhanced analytic capabilities and new configuration tools and workflows for faster deployment and reduced operator fatigue, the victor and VideoEdge 5.7 offers more intuitive camera management, simplified site management and more robust cyber security features in a modernized interface.

“Enterprise customers need powerful and purpose-built video management that can be customized to meet the changing dynamics of today’s workplaces, regardless of industry or vertical market,” said Jammy DeSousa, director of Product Management, Video Solutions, Johnson Controls. “This latest version of the victor and VideoEdge platform enhances our current tools for improved user experience and further strengthens our existing cyber resiliency measures that are core to our offerings at Johnson Controls.”

Powerful camera support enables deeper analytics
More robust support for powerful camera features – including enhanced object and person detection and H.265+ compression – enable victor and VideoEdge users to leverage additional processing power from the cameras, resulting in deeper analytics with Illustra cameras. Cyber resiliency is also enhanced with encrypted video streaming from Illustra cameras directly into VideoEdge and Illustra Auto Configuration, which automatically configures Illustra camera security settings and adds the settings into the VideoEdge NVRs.

To support health and safety protocols, temperature readings from the Tyco Illustra Pro Thermal EST (elevated skin temperature) cameras can be stored and displayed within victor. If an elevated skin temperature is not detected, a face detection feature will ensure adherence with face covering policies, triggering a mask missing alarm if no mask is detected.

Intuitive controls and a host of productivity enhancements provide operators with simplified and optimized site management tools in victor and/ VideoEdge. With enhanced timeline control, operators can adjust playback speeds and scrub through video playback to more easily find specific sections of recorded video. Deployment times and operator learning curve is reduced with intuitive wizards and workflows that provide better control of key video operational areas.

victor and VideoEdge 5.7 also offer the following features:
• “Shake n Dry” – allows operators to literally shake off excess water or debris from PTZ cameras
• Configurable sensitivity settings for Intelligent Search for people on a per camera basis
• Support for new Illustra Pro Gen 4 cameras

Digital health leader, physIQ Inc., recently announced that Intermountain Healthcare Utah, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) and Rush University Medical Center have joined the NIH-funded DeCODe study to develop an AI-based COVID-19 digital biomarker. These institutions will serve as recruiting centers and key partners in the Phase II validation stage of this study. Realization of this biomarker may provide early detection of a rapid clinical decompensation in high-risk COVID-19 positive patients.

Intermountain, a nonprofit system of 25 hospitals, 225 clinics, and a medical group of 2,600 physicians and advanced practice clinicians, that serves patients in Utah, Nevada, and Idaho, has evaluated over 125,000 COVID-19 patients, since the pandemic began. Intermountain is one of the country’s first healthcare systems to use innovative data analytic tools and algorithms to help predict whether COVID-19 patients are at risk for being admitted to the ICU, or if they’re at high risk to develop COVID-19 hyper-inflammatory syndrome. They are a leading enroller in the ACTIV4b trial of antithrombotic therapy in patients with COVID-19 recovering at home.

“We are thrilled to join this groundbreaking study that physIQ has started,” said Joseph Bledsoe MD, Emergency Medicine Director of Research at Intermountain Healthcare. “With all of the advances in AI and wearable sensors, this study can help give healthcare workers the tools needed to proactively address their patient’s COVID-19 acute illness.”

UTHealth will provide expertise in recruitment, enrollment, and implementation of this study. The university, the most comprehensive academic health care system in the U.S. Gulf Coast region, established the UTHealth COVID-19 Center of Excellence early in the pandemic and opened the first post-COVID-19 clinic in Houston in September 2020.

“This study has potential for a monumental impact on our healthcare system. With proactive and personalized medicine, like what physIQ enables, we have the opportunity to improve outcomes from the pandemic,” said Bentley Bobrow, MD FACEP, Professor and Chair and John P. and Katherine G. McGovern Distinguished Chair of Emergency Medicine at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth. “PhysIQ will play an essential role in how we manage COVID-19 patients and how we fight the pandemic as a whole.”

Rush University Medical Center is a leading academic health system dedicated to improving the health of the people and diverse communities in Illinois. They value innovation, collaboration and excellence, which made them a perfect fit in this study.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant morbidity and mortality of our patients. It is imperative that we are able to detect a patient’s clinical decline before it is too late,” said Yanina A. Purim-Shem-Tov, MD, MS, Senior Medical Director of Clinical Practice and Associate Professor, Department of Emergency Medicine at Rush Medical College. “Rush University Medical Center is proud to participate in the DeCODe study. Through this worthy research, we are another step closer in fighting the pandemic.”

The DeCODe study, along with other physIQ-led projects, will help identify the earliest signals of an inflammatory response specific to an individual.  “This work has huge implications well beyond just improving the care of individuals suffering from COVID-19, but anybody experiencing, or at risk for, an inflammatory reaction including those due to all infections, autoimmune conditions, and resulting from a range of therapeutic interventions from vaccines to cancer therapies,” said Steve Steinhubl, MD, physIQ’s Chief Medical Officer.

As a result of DeCODe’s Phase I success, physIQ was able to apply for a portion of the $1.5 million federal government initiative to study COVID-19 patients with long-term symptoms (also known as long haulers). Because of the vast enrollment numbers of COVID-19 patients in the DeCODe study, there is a high likelihood that some are long-haulers.  Intermountain, UTHealth and Rush will also partner with physIQ on this study.

Applying for the job of your dreams can be a daunting task. It’s easy to be overcome by the fear of potentially losing a great opportunity. One of the foremost ways of securing your preferred position is to remain calm and remember that the world is not going to end no matter how badly you do. There is nothing wrong with failure, as it only serves to drive you and your career forward. If anything, failure means you know what you have to improve. There’s a lot of things to consider when applying for a high-profile job. Do you have the necessary experience? Are you confident in your abilities? Do you conform to the values and ideals of the workplace? These questions should not serve to leave you in disarray, but to establish a solid foundation for future success.

Setting Up a Foundation

There are six key points you will need to keep in mind before deciding to apply for a potential dream job. This is assuming that you already know the traditional screening process most interviewers will want you to go through. There’s a lot of openings available for Neurology jobs in Chicago. Take a good look at your options before making a decision, as choosing your battles is half of what it takes to win them.

1.   Perfect Your CV

Your CV is going to be the deciding factor of the hiring process. Make sure to perfectly tailor your resume so that it leaves an impression on whoever reads it. This includes a comprehensive list of your previous (yet relevant) work experience as well as formatting and punctuation. You need to pay as much attention as possible to the way in which your CV is presented. Even the slightest mistake can lead most interviewers to discard your resume before they’ve even taken more than a quick glance, especially when it comes to a high-profile job. Professionalism is key.

2.   Develop an Online Presence

The modern world is digital. You must ensure you have a solid online presence that employers can easily find so that you can properly convey not only your professionalism but also your dedication to the craft. This can be anything from a well-established Linkedin profile to an active Twitter account, although you should make sure your presence is completely and utterly professional. Make your brand heard and people are more likely to take it seriously. This applies to almost all business ventures.

3.   Showcase Previous Achievements

You must present your most important achievements in a favorable light that is relevant to the job at hand. This will greatly improve your chances of being chosen for the position, as most employers need to be well aware of the benefits you can bring to the table before being able to make a decision.

4.   Do Your Research

It’s important to learn as much as possible about the company you’re applying to. Show them you have more than just a passing interest in their business and you’re likely to impress them. Employers need passionate people, not employees who only work for a paycheck. Make sure to echo their goals and ideals in order to leave a spectacular first impression. Mirroring is a common social trick that applies to many situations. Use it to your advantage!

5.   Present Yourself Appropriately

Professionalism is key. You need to show your potential employers that you can dress the part. Dress smartly and make sure to convey your professionalism through your outfit. Be polite, tactful, and respectful. These are very important factors when helping an employer decide if you’re the right fit for the job.

6.   Be Available and Professional

End the interview with a couple of follow-up questions to showcase your interest. Ask the interviewer how they think the interview went. If you receive any sort of criticism, then take it to heart and use it to improve your future chances of landing a similar job. Another important thing to do is to throw the ball in their court every once in a while with a follow-up email. This shows your dedication and determination, though you also need to make sure you’re not being too stressful or needy. Let a couple of days pass after the interview and follow up with an e-mail inquiring about the state of the unfilled position. Your employers are less likely to forget you as a candidate if you maintain a high level of communication.

Wrapping It Up

These six key suggestions can open up a wide world of possibilities for you if followed. The most important thing to remember is to use your talent to keep yourself calm and collected. You’ve gotten this far, and you’d do yourself a disservice if you let your emotions get the best of you. Aim high and shoot. You’ll be surprised at how often you’ll land a couple of high-profile Neurology jobs in Chicago. It’s just a matter of trying your best.

Self-care has become such a popular trend and its impact and focus within people’s everyday lives is significant. Before this trend exploded people had less intent and concentration regarding small, everyday choices. However, now with individuals thinking about ‘how will this affect my life?’ before making choices surrounding even the smallest, most simple acts, the focus on self-care cannot be denied. This is a powerful development and useful tool for people that struggle with focusing on their own best interests. As this style of living becomes more commonplace, the stigma surrounding the issues are its core are also beginning to lift.

Take Advantage of Convenience

Convenience is one of the top things that people request when talking about adding anything to their daily routine. People want experience that are effective but low maintenance, beneficial but non-committal. While these ideals seem to be in opposition of one other, the healthcare industry took note of these demands and responded with innovations like telehealth to provide complete care solutions that are convenient in nature.

Busy professionals, parents, and college students are three examples of demographics that must juggle a lot within their daily calendars. There is an all-in-one telehealth provider created for universities and college that focuses on the unique needs of students. There are many benefits to this platform, with convenience being one of them. Understanding that live online counseling is key for support is an example of how you can combine telehealth convenience with the practice of self-care in your everyday life.

Cut Out Toxicity

The word toxic can be confusing because it is not mutually exclusive. What might create chaos in one person’s life may have no bearing whatsoever on another persons. Being able to identify which elements of your everyday life are sabotaging your efforts towards self-care is a personal journey. One way to create some self-discovery opportunities is to take up the practice of journaling. Tracking your experiences and choices and subsequently how they impacted your daily life and your emotions will help you to identify patterns and choices that do not serve you well.

Ban Burnout

In today’s culture ‘the grind’ is often highly glamorized. With so many people wearing burnout as a badge, for some people, having an even keeled, balanced life can create the feeling that they are not doing enough by comparison. The common theme to achieving a daily self-care routine is personalization. It is critical to remind yourself that what is right for some people may be all wrong for you. An established and intentional sleep routine is a good example of a way to ban burnout and optimize self-care.

Sleep can have a huge effect on how you feel both mentally and physically. Lack of sleep affects your ability to think clearly and can even exacerbate an existing mental health issue. Some tips for creating a better nighttime routine for everyday self-care areavoiding caffeine before bedtime, creating a calm and unplugged sleep space, and listening to your body’s cues regarding physical and mental exhaustion.
