AcuMedical was formed with the purpose of designing, developing, and promoting a minimally-invasive, integrated suite of medical devices that help patients and healthcare professionals effectively manage a variety of chronic or acute pain conditions through electro-stimulation.
It is crucial to highlight the atrocities occurring within the pain management industry. More specifically, prescription opioid-based painkillers, whose crippling side effects have now led to the White House declaring an official “public health emergency” in the United States. The rise of opioids to the forefront of the healthcare system has not only led to exponentially increasing overdose and hospitalization cases but also encourages illegal drug distribution to a growing population of victims.
Electro-stimulation and needle therapy procedures are well-known for their safety and effectiveness in treating chronic and acute pain. They are recommended by the FDA as a non-pharma therapy and useful in opiate rehab. AcuMedical has developed patent-pending technologies that introduce a procedure-based, digital electro-needle therapy platform that collects data qualified toward reliable insurance reimbursement and streamlines the therapy making patient treatment safer, consistent, and more effective.
With the global market for pain management devices totaling more than $3.2Bn in 2016 within the growing $60Bn global pain management therapeutics market, our products are positioned to gain prominence and compete within the exponentially expanding $130Bn traditional Chinese medicine market in China post-internationalization.

How to Improve Healthcare Reporting Management System.pptxFlutter Agency
Here in this article, you will see the tips about the healthcare reporting management system. Read these top 8 tips to improve the Healthcare Reporting Management System.
The Transforming Health Systems (THS) initiative was one of The Rockefeller Foundation’s largest global health initiatives. Aligned with the Foundation’s mission to promote the well-being of humanity, THS aimed to improve the health status and financial resilience of poor and otherwise vulnerable populations through activities promoting improved health systems performance and the expansion of universal health coverage (UHC).
This report synthesizes findings from a five-year, multicomponent evaluation of the THS initiative. The objectives of the evaluation were to assess i) the effectiveness of the three core strategies – global advocacy, regional networks, and country-level investments – employed under THS to advance progress toward UHC in low- and middle-income countries in four focus countries, ii) the overall effectiveness and influence of the initiative, and iii) the Foundation’s legacy in the UHC arena. A key component of the evaluation was to document lessons learned from achievements and challenges to inform the development of future initiatives at the Foundation.
Overall, the evaluation found the THS initiative to be successful in its efforts to activate a global movement to accelerate progress toward UHC. The Foundation catalyzed and shaped the global UHC movement and, ultimately, influenced the inclusion of UHC in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the post-2015 agenda. It also created enduring cross-learning platforms and tools to support country progress toward the SDGs’ UHC targets. Although THS gained less traction in advancing UHC through its focus country investments, its success in making UHC a global development target and creating networks and coalitions to support UHC reform efforts in LMICs will likely have country-level impacts for years to come.
