Managing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be exhausting in itself. You’re likely juggling medications, doctor appointments, and various lifestyle changes. Since the condition affects people differently and can change from month to month, it’s important to keep track of your symptoms and how you respond to treatments. Having good records can be helpful for your healthcare team.

cliexa-RA has been featured as one of the Best Rheumatoid Arthritis Apps of 2018!

cliexa® partners with the University of Colorado Boulder’s Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Lab (CANLab) for Multidimensional Pain Tracking and Predictive Analytics Research.
cliexa® Partners with Institute of Cognitive Science at University of Colorado Boulder

Denver, CO, February 28, 2018 — cliexa, Inc., which offers a suite of mobile platforms for chronic disease management, announces its collaboration with CU Boulder’s CANLab and Institute of Cognitive Science (ICS). cliexa will collaborate with CANLab’s team, headed by Tor Wager, a professor of psychology and neuroscience, as they lead in multidimensional pain tracking and predictive analytics research.

CU Boulder jointly filed a provisional patent with cliexa for the multidimensional objective pain concept with CANLab. CANLab focuses on identifying a particular pattern of brain activity, which is diagnostic of physical pain. cliexa-Ease’s mobile platform hosts the research concept and is being used to further develop CANLab’s existing pain studies. cliexa-Ease will deliver an exclusive pain assessment model which, in collaboration with CU Boulder, anticipates commercialization by mid 2018.

Mehmet Kazgan, founder and CEO of cliexa, explains how they are excited about the partnership with Wager’s CANLab because of its “leading research studies for multidimensional pain tracking.” “Working with neuroscientists at CU Boulder is taking the cliexa platform to the next level of objectifying patient outputs with multiple reference points.”

Wager highlights how the collaboration will “expand our ability to understand how emotion affects pain in daily life.” Pavel Goldstein, the scientific lead of the project, adds that the partnership will provide both “an incredible opportunity to establish a platform for researching chronic pain conditions” and “important feedback to pain patients and their clinicians with unique information about patient health.”

About The Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Lab

Professor Tor Wager leads CANLab, which is housed in CU Boulder’s Institute of Cognitive Science (ICS) and the Psychology and Neuroscience Department. CANLab uses machine-learning to develop fMRI-based biomarkers for clinically relevant outcomes, such as pain. It subsequently tests how psychological factors influence these biomarkers. The lab also engages in collaborative, translational research, which incorporates brain systems-level analyses into the study of clinical disorders, including PTSD, depression, schizophrenia, and chronic pain.

STDs are a persistent enemy
STDs are a persistent enemy

…Jonathan Mermin, director of the CDC’s National Center for STDs and TB Prevention, said in a news release last month. He added that the epidemic is, “…growing in number, and outpacing our ability to respond.” Over 50% of new cases of STDs occur in young people ages 15 – 24, Chlamydia cases the most prominent. Front-line defense–primary care clinics and overloaded physicians. They may feel they do not get honest answers or they don’t have time to ask difficult questions. Young people are not comfortable with face-to-face discussions about reproductive health.

Some physicians don’t know how to broach this sensitive conversation, “This is an awkward topic, especially for men and they avoid having these conversations. cliexa-OPTIONS gives male physicians and clinicians a tool to get through the awkwardness …This epidemic impacts females more because they are left holding the bag.”   So is it a lost cause? No, digital health offers promising solutions.

Why is Primary Care so Important?

Leveraging long-standing relationships with pediatricians and family physicians–an underutilized strategy on the front lines of this devastating battle, helps youth stay healthy. Young people respond to authentic conversations with people they know and trust.  Primary care screenings identify most new cases of Chlamydia. That’s where the cliexa-OPTIONS App, an innovative digital health technology,  plays a crucial role.

cliexa-OPTIONS reduces the cognitive load for clinicians by creating a structured report using our unique scoring algorithm. Our measures are more sensitive to cultural trends young people experience. Three levels of high risk allow tailored, pinpointed conversations that count. Our recent clinical pilot confirmed the benefits of the OPTIONS App.

Risk assessment quality was average before piloting the cliexa-OPTIONS App. After implementing cliexa-OPTIONS, physicians rated the quality of their sexual risk assessment as excellent. The cliexa-OPTIONS App improves reproductive health counseling by “making it easier for my patients to discuss what is REALLY going on with them.” Physicians said the App saves them time and all participants reported that cliexa-OPTIONS supports early identification of youth at highest risk of acquiring an STD.

Positive ROI increases revenue improves quality, tracks efforts, and supports better outcomes for young people. What’s not to love about the cliexa-OPTIONS App?? To find out how to get started, contact the cliexa team.

On October 19th, cliexa will pitch to improve the healthcare industry for a chance to pilot cliexa Platform with Colorado’s leading healthcare systems, payors, and provider networks.

Early this summer, healthcare innovators from around the country submitted applications to compete in the Prime Health Challenge, the country’s largest digital health pitch competition of its kind.  Over the past 3-months, experts from across the industry have evaluated the proposals through the Prime Health Qualify process and narrowed the list down to six finalists who will compete in the live, shark-tank style event at the Exdo Event Center in RiNo Denver.  Thanks to funding from The Colorado Health Foundation, winners will be rewarded with a share of the $150,000 prize and the opportunity to prove their solutions in real-life clinical settings.
