COVID-19: Why Life’s Better When Apps Create Communities

Graham Jarvis explores why life is better when apps create communities in this article published by Government & Public Sector Journal - featuring Leepse and its COO Gabriel Mulko.

Gabriel Mulko, a co-founder of Leepse comments: “Keeping up with the news all day will make your anxiety and stress level skyrocket, especially in the last couple of months. The media has a massive impact on people’s behaviour and fears. Talk about AIDS to anyone aged 30 years or younger, they will tell you how scared they are to be diagnosed HIV positive. Talk about meningitis to anyone aged 30 years or younger, they’ll tell you they’re not scared of it. Why? Meningitis can be much deadlier than AIDS, but the campaigns on AIDS have been everywhere for as long as I can remember.”

Health and Wellbeing: Why It's Good To Talk During a Pandemic

There is nothing better than being able to walk out of the house to exercise in the park, the countryside or even to stroll by the sea. Just the ability to go outside gives us a new sense of perspective, and enables us to maintain our health and wellbeing.

Even now that lockdowns are being eased in several countries around the world, including to some degree in the UK, social distancing can still be a lonely experience. We are disconnected from the friends and family that don’t live in our home.

People are taking precautions to be more guarded and are still fearful that they could become infected with COVID-19. When you look around, you can see the concerned expressions on people’s faces, and the reality is that our ‘new normal’ is unsettling.

Join the conversation, read this article by Graham Jarvis for Startups Magazine on why it's good to talk during a pandemic.

Cyber-Security: How Hospitals Can Prevent Ransomware

Hospitals are vulnerable to the same cyber threats as businesses and must take action to protect themselves.

According to BBC News, “WannaCry was the biggest cyber-attack that has affected the NHS to date: NHS trusts were left vulnerable in a major ransomware attack in May 2017 because cyber-security recommendations were not followed, a government report has said.”

The BBC report claims that a third of the NHS systems in England was disrupted by the WannaCry ransomware attack, according to the National Audit Office (NAO). This led to at least 6,900 NHS appointments being cancelled because of the attack. “NHS England reported that no patient data had been compromised or stolen and praised the staff response. The NAO chief said the Department of Health and the NHS must now get their act together”, the BBC stated.

You might be forgiven for thinking that ransomware was no longer an issue, but it still remains a cyber-security threat to most healthcare organisations around the globe – including NHS hospitals in the United Kingdom. However, new strains of ransomware are constantly emerging. This means that hospitals must think how they can prevent ransomware and malware attacks today. The battle to stop such incidents in their tracks is ongoing, taking up invaluable time and resources.

Pharmaceuticals: Faster Data to Pursue Cancer Cure

Could big data be the key to curing cancer?

Many people have been lost to cancer, and everybody can potentially get one form of cancer or another. The race is therefore on to find a cure. Increasingly, pharmaceutical companies and organisations conducting research to push cancer into history realise that the answer may lie in big data and in sharing it. To achieve this they need reliable network infrastructure that isn’t slowed down by the data and network latency. Even with the ever growing volumes of big data, it’s important to allow data to flow fast to permit accurate analysis.

On 27th April 2017, The Telegraph newspaper wrote: ‘How data is helping to select the best new cancer treatments for patients’. The article, which is sponsored by Cancer Research UK, reveals: “Gifts left in wills help Dr. Bissan Al-Azikani and her team to look at vast amounts of data, which can aid them in identifying the best new cancer treatments for patients.

Pursuing a Cancer Cure with Faster Data

The article, sponsored by Cancer Research UK, revealed: “Gifts left in wills help Dr. Bissan Al-Azikani and her team to look at vast amounts of data, which can aid them in identifying the best new cancer treatments for patients”.

Talking about her role, Dr. Bissan Al-Azikani commented: “In the past 10 years, we have made huge strides in discovering therapies as a result of understanding cancer at a molecular level. The challenge is to decide which cancer drug targets show the most promise and they should be prioritised for development. We use artificial intelligence to select the best drug targets by combining DNA data from tens of thousands of patients with billions of results from lab experiments.”

How Spreading a Little Bit of Employee Happiness Can Improve Your Bottom Line

Happiness can improve your bottom line.

Happiness is considered somewhat of a fluffy term, and ask your board of directors if they care about how happy your employees are they will probably say yes, but may not know why it matters so much. Focused predominately on business growth and fixated on the traditional Profit & Loss (P&L) view of company performance, too many organisations are still missing the opportunity that lies in maximising their ‘2nd P&L’, their ‘people and leaders’. By taking a one dimensional view of what drives company growth, organisations miss key opportunities to increase the performance of their number one asset – their people. Read the complete article.
