Beyond the horizon. Being told you need to think bigger, can be both gratifying and terrifying. This week, NeedleSmart came face to face with that prospect, in meetings with our strategic partners at Google, United States Senate and U.S. House of Representatives. Cliff Kirby, Michael Barron and Hon. Christopher Carney were challenged to accelerate our solution to power medical decision making systems, visualize realtime data and positively impact health outcomes. Reflecting over the past 24 hours, we realized that the future is much closer than we imagined and we are going to need a bigger boat!

There is work getting done in Washington! Last week NeedleSmart was back in DC, meeting with lawmakers and government agencies to educate, listen, while continuing to build a supporting coalition that will make the injection process safer, smarter, sustainable and more accessible. Over the past two years, led by Hon. Christopher Carney, we have met with more than 45 members of the U.S. House of Representatives, 20 members of the United States Senate and leaders at agencies such as. U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, United States Department of Defense, FDA, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Federal Bureau of Prisons, The National Institutes of Health, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). We are especially grateful for the support and leadership of @RepCuellar (TX), @RepDaveJoyce (OH), @KenCalvert (CA), Sen. Jack Reed-(RI), Sen. Tim Kaine-(VA), Sen. Mazie Hirono-(HI). They have all taken a active role in helping to bring forward true change and realization meaningful #AI in #healthcare. #innovation #medtech #sustainability #healthequity #heathacess #healthoutcomes

In 2023 NeedleSmart has already seen 12 Countries, 100s of cities, countless planes, trains and Ubers - with more to come. As downtime due to illness is not in our plan, last week I got my annual #flushot and a #covidbooster. By 9:15 that morning, my #pharmacist and her team were already underwater. She was fully aware that the day was not going to be any better. Throughout the process it was made repeatedly clear that there has to be a better way. And there is! NeedleSmart has created the world's first digital injection management platform, to make the process safer, smarter and more sustainable.

Last December @Wolters_Kluwer published a report that noted significant shifts in consumer thinking and behavior towards healthcare. Many now envision the pharmacy setting as the means to access most of their primary care. The key drivers were are the opportunity to reduce costs and more access to treatment. Additionally, 72% are open to have medication prescribed by specially trained pharmacists rather than a doctor. These trends will place increased demands on pharmacists whose numbers are in short supply. It is estimated by 2030 there will be a shortage of 18 million skilled health care workers, including pharmacists. Globally, it is clear that we must explore opportunities to help bridge the sizable workforce gap. @NeedleSmart  has created the worlds first data forward injection management platform. Designed to provide efficiencies in clinical workflows, through increased safety and a pathway to more sustainability in healthcare. We celebrate #WorldPharmacistsDay2023 with our partners and colleagues.

There is an opportunity to unleash the power of AI into the world of vaccinations/injections. To do this we first need to bring a process to what for decades has been a series of consecutive events. NeedleSmart has created the worlds first digital end to end injection management platform. Our vision is to make injections - safer-smarter and more sustainable. #MedTwitter #MEDTECH #AI #NurseTwitter #Innovation
August is National Immunization Awareness Month. @economistimpact published a comprehensive report on Immunization Readiness, noting that the pathway to effective implementation includes proper data, regulation, outreach and delivery. We agree. #immunizationawarenessmonth
