NEW YORK – November 10, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
This Thanksgiving, ProMed Staffing Resources is determined to make a difference in the lives of families caring for a child with cancer or another life-threatening illness. In partnership with Friends of Karen, a registered 501(c)(3) children’s charity that serves 22 counties in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, ProMed has pledged to contribute to the drive and invite their employees and field staff to do the same.
“No family should have to worry about where their next meal is coming from,” said Maria Bingeman, Vice President of ProMed Staffing Resources. “As a mother, I can’t imagine what it would be like to have to choose between providing food for my family or paying for life-saving medical treatments for my child. We hope that our contribution will make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.”
“At ProMed, we are committed to giving back to the communities we serve,” said Mendy Hirsch, CEO of ProMed Staffing Resources. “We chose to partner with Friends of Karen because their cause is one that everyone at ProMed feels deeply about.”
Friends of Karen is the only organization in the New York Tri-State region that provides the vital, practical, and comprehensive services that relieve families caring for a child with a life-threatening illness of everyday needs and concerns, so they have more time to love. Friends of Karen has touched the lives of more than 17,000 children since its inception in 1978.
“The Thanksgiving food drive is one of the ways Friends of Karen helps ease the financial burden on families with critically ill children,” said Gwen Salmo, Special Events Coordinator for Friends of Karen. “With the economic climate as it is, we are so grateful for the support of ProMed Staffing Resources and their commitment to helping our families in need. We hope more organizations and individuals will follow their lead and make this holiday a little brighter for everyone.”
“Thanksgiving is a time to come together and give thanks for all that we have,” said Zalman Goldman, President of ProMed Staffing Resources. “We are happy to do our part to help those less fortunate and we count on the generosity of our employees and the community to make this possible.”

The Covid-19 Detection Foundation (Dba Virufy) is the newest member of BARDA’S division of research, innovation, and ventures (DRIVe) medical countermeasures portfolio
SAN FRANCISCO – November 10, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic underscore the need for more rapidly scalable, low-cost, and broadly available approaches in responding to public health emergencies. Digital tools like smartphone or web-based applications present opportunities for new classes of medical countermeasures that could complement traditional approaches. Aiming for easy detection of Covid-19, Virufy has created an IA-based app that should make the diagnosis of the disease more inclusive.
Through AI/ML algorithms, smartphone and computer applications can use images and audio captured with the phone or computer’s existing hardware to assess aspects of a person’s health. Health-related image and audio recordings contain much more information than the human eye or ear alone can process, but AI/ML algorithms could be used to process that information, detect differences and patterns among images and sounds, and identify disease signatures. These digital tools could empower individuals with actionable information about their infection status or acute skin condition and symptoms so that they can self-isolate and seek medical care if appropriate.
Virufy is developing an app that uses a few seconds of cough audio, collected through a smartphone or computer microphone, to identify cough patterns indicative of a current COVID-19 infection. Virufy has demonstrated this capability based on an analysis of several thousand samples from international clinical networks and through crowdsourcing. With DRIVe’s support, Virufy will conduct additional clinical studies to refine and test their algorithm. Virufy will also initiate proof-of-concept work on AI algorithms to screen for other respiratory diseases based on cough audio.
VisualDx aims to create an AI/ML algorithm that analyzes user-provided skin lesion images together with a symptom questionnaire on a smartphone app. The algorithm can provide information on the indicated disease and other similarly presenting conditions. If successful, this project would demonstrate the power of AI/ML-based image analysis for easily and rapidly accessible symptom checking for potentially any pox-based virus such as smallpox or monkeypox, and provide a digital health solution that could be modified easily in a future outbreak.
BARDA’s 2022-2026 Strategic Plan emphasizes the importance of preparing for future public health emergencies by collaborating with innovators to develop medical countermeasures that can help save lives. Cutting-edge, digital guidance tools that can pivot and be brought to scale in response to new threats could aid in public health response. These DRIVe projects, if successful, could demonstrate the power of these tools to rapidly respond to other threats such as influenza and smallpox.
These awards have been made under the Easy Broad Agency Announcement (EZ-BAA) area of interest (AOI) #9: Digital Medical Countermeasures.
This project has been funded in part with Federal funds from HHS/ASPR and BARDA, under Contract No. 75A50122C00034.
