A new independent report reveals that medication management solutions like Ochsner Digital Medicine deliver superior hypertension outcomes and long-term cost savings compared to other digital approaches NEW ORLEANS , Nov. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A groundbreaking evaluation by the Peterson Health Technology Institute (PHTI) has identified that digital hypertension solutions centered on medication management deliver rapid and clinically meaningful improvements in blood pressure that outperform traditional care. The report also found that other digital approaches to hypertension management focused only on patient behavior change and transmitting home monitoring data to providers are less effective, and do not provide clinically meaningful improvements. Among the standout solutions with clinically effective medication management at its core is Ochsner Digital Medicine , a digital platform that integrates cutting-edge technology to improve patient outcomes. "Unlike other programs that simply monitor health conditions, Ochsner Digital Medicine offers comprehensive care, including adjusting medications to find the right treatment, health coaching, and managing conditions with specialized clinicians," said Dan Shields , CEO of Ochsner Digital Medicine. "The program was designed and is delivered by a leading academic health system, and studies like this show it gets better results than traditional care models." Hypertension, a prevalent chronic condition affecting nearly half of U.S. adults, incurs an annual economic burden of $131 billion . Addressing this silent menace demands innovative approaches that transcend conventional care. According to PHTI's findings, digital solutions that emphasize medication management not only offer immediate clinical benefits but also promise long-term cost savings. These savings stem from a reduction in costly utilizations such as unnecessary emergency department visits and inpatient admissions, as well as mitigating risks associated with strokes and heart attacks. Ochsner Digital Medicine has emerged as a leader in the medication management category, exemplifying how integrating connected blood pressure cuffs with expert virtual care from licensed clinicians can usher in a new era of hypertension management. This approach both optimizes clinical outcomes and supports healthcare providers in delivering timely and personalized care. "Too many people are living with uncontrolled hypertension, but there are effective digital solutions to help patients improve their cardiovascular health, save lives, and lower spending over the long run," Caroline Pearson , Executive Director of PHTI, said in a press release. "Digital medication management solutions support healthcare providers with virtual teams to monitor blood pressure and adjust medications to help bring patients into control within months rather than years." The report advocates for the broader adoption of medication management-based digital solutions, urging healthcare purchasers to consider long-term health benefits and cost-effectiveness when incorporating these technologies. PHTI's comprehensive analysis categorized digital hypertension solutions into three categories: The report findings were that blood pressure monitoring and behavior change interventions led to small, non-significant reductions in systolic blood pressure compared with usual care, while medication management resulted in more rapid and clinically meaningful SBP reductions with higher evidence certainty. PHTI's evaluation is based on a rigorous assessment framework, considering clinical efficacy, economic impact, and health equity. By reviewing 2,498 articles and collaborating with experts across health technology, economics, cardiology, and endocrinology, PHTI provides a robust endorsement of these innovative solutions. In an era where healthcare innovation is paramount, Ochsner Digital Medicine stands at the forefront, leveraging digital technology to transform hypertension care and ensure better health outcomes for millions.

Their playful banter and shared laughter filled the kitchen as they worked together, showcasing not only their culinary talents but also their strong bond as a couple. The joy and love they poured into their cooking were palpable, leaving viewers captivated and inspired by their infectious enthusiasm.TOUCHING tributes for the late Jimmy Carter have started to flood in for the "extraordinary leader" who has died aged 100. Joe Biden and Donald Trump have led the heartfelt messages to the beloved former president whose death was confirmed by his family earlier today. Carter, the oldest president in history , and the only one to become a centenarian, has been survived by five other American commander-in-chiefs who have all left touching homages to the great man. President-elect Donald Trump remembered Carter for his leadership and urged Americans to keep the late president's loved ones in their " hearts and prayers". Trump wrote on Truth Social: "The challenges Jimmy faced as President came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans. "For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude. Read more on jimmy carter "Melania and I are thinking warmly of the Carter Family and their loved ones during this difficult time." He later posted a second statement which acknowledged the pair's political and philosophical differences but praised Carter's clear love for America. "He truly loved and respected our Country, and all it stands for," Trump added. "He worked hard to make America a better place, and for that I give him my highest respect. Most read in The US Sun "He was a truly good man and, of course, will be greatly missed. He was also very consequential, far more than most Presidents, after he left the Oval Office." The man Trump is set to replace in the White House in just a few weeks time in Joe Biden described Carter as an "extraordinary leader, statesman, and humanitarian". The fellow Democrat and close friend posted the loving tribute alongside his wife Jill. They said: "Over six decades, we had the honor of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend." "He was a man of great character and courage, hope and optimism. We will always cherish seeing him and Rosalynn together." Joe, 82, has now taken on the title as the oldest living president following the passing of Carter. Barack Obama - the youngest living American leader - commended the late humanitarian with his wife Michelle. They said: "Maranatha Baptist Church will be a little quieter on Sundays, but President Carter will never be far away — buried alongside Rosalynn next to a willow tree down the road, his memory calling all of us to heed our better angels. "Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to the Carter family, and everyone who loved and learned from this remarkable man." Former President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary also praised Carter's commitment to service. They praised him for his "long and good life" and applauded his belief in faith and selflessness. The final remaining president, George W. Bush, joined his wife Laura to call Carter “a man of deeply held convictions” who “dignified the office ". International tributes Tributes to the statesman even came from overseas as the UK's Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer lauded Carter's service. The British PM said he “redefined the post-presidency with a remarkable commitment to social justice and human rights at home and abroad”. King Charles III also described the former US president as a “committed public servant” who “devoted his life to promoting peace”. Sir Tony Blair soon followed with a powerful statement. It read: "Jimmy Carter's life was a testament to public service; from his time in office, and the Camp David Accords, to his remarkable commitment to the cause of people and peace round the world over the past 40 years. "I always had the greatest respect for him, his spirit and his dedication. "He fundamentally cared and consistently toiled to help those in need." PRESIDENT CARTER Carter , the 39th president of the United States , has died after nearly two years in hospice care. His son Chip Carter confirmed the former president died at his Georgia home on Sunday around 3:45 pm ET. Carter peacefully passed away surrounded by his family who paid an emotional tribute to the former leader. His son Chip said: “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love. “My brothers, sister, and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. "The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honoring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.” Public events will commemorate Carter in Atlanta and Washington, D.C. and a state funeral will be held, The Carter Center confirmed. The former president decided to live out the remainder of his days at his home in Plains, Georgia . Carter, the beloved Democrat and Nobel Peace Prize winner, had experienced several health issues in recent years including melanoma that spread to his liver and brain. He became the longest-living president and the first to make it 100 years old. Carter's death came over a year after the death of his wife, Rosalynn Carter , who died on November 19, 2023, at age 96. Two days before her death, Rosalynn joined her husband in hospice care at their home in Georgia. The former first lady and fierce advocate for mental health was diagnosed with dementia in early 2023.

Unlocking green hydrogen fuel supply chains Countries across the Asia-Pacific and Africa regions have great potential in the emerging hydrogen economy. However, as well as opportunities, there are challenges when it comes to scaling up the production and distribution of these greener fuels. Many countries in these regions are already developing national hydrogen strategies for domestic industries and export markets, increasing the potential for more energy-producing countries to prevail in the future. Africa is widely regarded as a potential global leader in the production of green hydrogen, not only for itself but also for other regions such as Asia-Pacific, which is poised to become a major demand centre for Africa’s green hydrogen potential. The ambitious net-zero goals committed to by the maritime sector could have a major role to play in stimulating investment in the green hydrogen supply chain between the two regions. To reap the rewards, the industry must find creative ways to tackle various obstacles. While the Asia-Pacific region is the world’s largest hydrogen consumer, less than 1% of its hydrogen is green. The key challenge is the high price of green hydrogen, which costs at least six times more than grey hydrogen, and the lack of mechanisms to bridge the cost gap of green hydrogen-derived fuels, such as e-ammonia, e-methane and e-methanol. Regardless of the growth opportunities within the maritime industry, financing hydrogen infrastructure is not going to be easy. Building from the ground up is an expensive feat. Due to limited demand and significant cost differences compared to conventional fossil fuels, few are willing to lead from the front. The importance of a regional approach to hydrogen fuel As demand for green energy grows and hydrogen markets continue to emerge, there is increased scope for willing nations to discuss untapped market opportunities for hydrogen-derived fuels for the shipping sector. This was the focus of the second earlier this year – a roundtable discussion hosted by the Lloyd’s Register maritime decarbonisation hub – shining a light on investments needed to support the development of hydrogen-based fuels to service shipping’s decarbonisation. The hub is a joint initiative between Lloyd’s Register and Lloyd’s Register Foundation, aiming to accelerate the safe and sustainable decarbonisation of the maritime industry. This second roundtable brought together ministries, fuel developers, the shipping industry and climate and development financiers operating across the Africa and Asia-Pacific region. Held during the three-day Global African Hydrogen Summit in Windhoek, Namibia, participants shared perspectives on the opportunities posed by clean fuels and highlighted key investment barriers and means to overcome hurdles through regional cooperation. While some countries in the region have been active in decarbonisation discussions, a more cohesive effort that brings demand and supply hubs together is required to build a compelling case for alternative fuel investment, which could see success within a regional context. Countries may also reap developmental benefits by building a robust regional fuel supply chain. With these economic measures, policymakers need to factor in risks and the wider human, social, and biodiversity impacts so that these uncharted market opportunities are not at the expense of a just and equitable transition. Working with key maritime, transport, and energy stakeholders in these nations could prove mutually beneficial to understanding the wider risks and opportunities – embarking on the large-scale infrastructure required for fuel production and distribution may also be repurposed to unlock and accelerate the roll-out of other energy sources across the territory, such as electricity. Maritime decarbonisation: hydrogen plays a pivotal role The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set a target for 5% of the international shipping fleet, striving for 10%, to run on scalable zero-emission fuels , which positions Green shipping corridors as a critical maritime decarbonisation mechanism. There are currently more than 40 green shipping corridors established globally, with several trading in the Asia-Pacific region, including The Silk Alliance green corridor cluster. These green shipping corridors are now at an inflexion point, where stakeholders are moving from the conception phase into implementation and execution. But of the critical issues facing maritime stakeholders is securing a sufficient supply of green hydrogen-derived fuels through infrastructure investments. For this reason, the Maritime Fuel Supply Dialogues aims to link up national hydrogen strategies in Asia-Pacific and Africa with new shipping demands for hydrogen-based fuels. This would help direct infrastructure and policymakers’ interest and planning towards maritime decarbonisation, thereby building stronger business cases to overcome the investor inertia challenge. The dialogues will build on these discussions with regional stakeholders through various action areas. This includes working on supply and demand linkages, presenting stronger justification for flexible fiscal policy measures in fuel-producing countries, and driving port and maritime hub locations to facilitate domestic cross-sector demand aggregation. The dialogues will be looking to hold its next roundtable to bring together stakeholders across Africa and Asia-Pacific regions to drive forward solutions around the discussion takeaways and explore other mechanisms to support regional developments. Demand for hydrogen and other green energies will only increase and as policy catches up, scaling will become the biggest challenge facing key stakeholders. This is why regional dialogues between large, established ports must continue to be promoted while bringing in experts from sectors beyond maritime: namely, energy and transport. “Unlocking green hydrogen fuel supply chains” was originally created and published by , a GlobalData owned brand. the latest news shaping the hydrogen market at Unlocking green hydrogen fuel supply chains, Hyundai to collaborate with Ulsan, Guangzhou governments on hydrogen tech Hyundai Motor, Korea’s top automaker, signed an initial agreement with the southeastern city of Ulsan and the Chinese city of Guangzhou on...
