SUMMARY:Art of the Possible: Rural Healthcare — Heart and Lung Health
DESCRIPTION:Join the Nova Scotia Health Innovation Hub for the latest instalment of The Art of the Possible Series\, bringing together key players from the healthcare ecosystem to address health challenges and explore the innovative solutions that are paving the way forward. \nOn April 26\, get ready to dive deep into the world of heart and lung health at IGNITE Atlantic! Register now for an engaging day filled with discovery as we unpack the endless possibilities of both heart and lung health technologies.

As a bonus\, the INSPIRED COPD Outreach Program will also share with the audience how their program supports Nova Scotians and family members living with COPD. \nAbout Kardio Diagnostix \nKardio Diagnostix is an AI-powered healthcare company that has developed a proprietary algorithm for detecting and classifying heart murmurs in children\, into either “innocent” or “pathologic.” The company’s patent pending technology provides primary care providers with highly specific results in under a minute\, saving parents from anxiety while awaiting access to specialists\, and saving millions of dollars in payer cost avoidance by decreasing the uncertainty that leads to avoidable referrals to pediatric cardiologists and costly echocardiograms. \nAbout NovaResp Technolgoies \nNovaResp has developed a patented\, AI-enabled software compatible with any positive airway pressure (PAP) machine to dramatically improve comfort and adherence to therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. The company’s platform software uses artificial intelligence and machine learning during PAP therapy to predict and prevent episodes of apnea before they would occur. As a result\, personalized therapy can be delivered via PAP machines at a substantially lower\, more comfortable air pressure levels\, ensuring a significantly better patient experience and adherence to therapy. \nAbout The INSPIRED COPD Program \nThe INSPIRED COPD Outreach Program is a free program that provides education and support to individuals with COPD and their families. \nSupports within the program include: \n\nHome-based education about caring for lungs\, medications\, use of inhalers\, home oxygen and coping with lung disease.\nA “COPD Action Plan” to assist with managing COPD and flare-ups.\nAssistance with navigating the healthcare system and gaining access to additional support offerings.\nAccess to a respiratory therapist through phone.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn | Dashboard Marketing
DESCRIPTION:About this event \nWhy the %$#& do I need to worry about marketing? \nIf you aren’t thinking about or planning to add marketing to your overarching strategy\, your business will fail. If you’re executing marketing tactics without a strategy\, your business will stall and stagnate. If you aren’t tracking and reacting to your marketing efforts\, you’re wasting money. This workshop will be a no-nonsense discussion around marketing\, and offer attendees a guideline to develop an effective\, impactful\, and results driven marketing strategy that can evolve with the growth of any business. We will dive into how important marketing is to the success of all areas of your organization; how it is ingrained in both acquisition and retention approaches; and how to recognize and react to both success and/or failure. We will explore 3 key components of any successful marketing strategy – brand\, customer and category. Each extremely important\, and something every organization needs to continually focus on. We will also offer insight\, advice and a framework to help build\, expand or rework anyone’s marketing strategy. Companies or community groups – be it startups\, early stage to well-established – will benefit from this fresh\, frank and unique perspective. \nIn this 1 hour presentation\, join Sean from Dashboard Marketing\, for a dynamic information session on how to market your startup. \nQuestions are welcomed and lunch is provided! \n____________ \nDISCLAIMER: By participating in this IGNITE Atlantic event\, you understand that photos and videos may be recorded and shared for future use \n
