https://lnkd.in/gQiZHxpW Seasonal diseases are an annual annoyance to most, a danger to others - a common occurrence that affect individuals worldwide. Have you ever wondered why certain illnesses seem to crop up during specific times of the year? Let's delve into the reasons behind the seasonal nature of these diseases and explore how they infect us annually.

https://lnkd.in/g8GeciWZ A recent article from BU Today, Boston University’s daily news website, posed the question, is it OK to stop worrying about #COVID?  There have been over 111 million cases of #COVID19 in the United States since 2020, and approximately 1.2 million deaths. However, the article argues that deaths have plummeted since 2022. In 2020, there were 385,676 COVID deaths in the United States. In 2021, there were 463,267. In 2022, there were 246,166. In 2023, there were 49,928 deaths. Are we entering a new mindset?

Do you know that extreme #heat claims more lives each year than hurricanes or floods? With heat-related deaths projected to rise 370% by 2050, Oceanit is taking action. Originally developed for the U.S. Army, our #cooling suit now protects workers in construction and manufacturing. And our next-gen cooling software? It’s designed with smart sensors that monitor body temperature and heart rate, adjusting the cooling suit automatically to keep you cool and comfortable. #climatechange #fitness #innovation #health

#ThrowbackThursday to one of Oceanit’s early innovations: the Passive Physiological Monitor (P2M)! Back in 1999, we developed the P2M to help military medical teams monitor vital signs in challenging environments, like noisy MEDEVAC helicopters. Using a non-intrusive sensor, P2M could track heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure—even with intense vibrations. This project eventually launched Oceanit spinoff company, Hoana Medical. In this photo, we see Oceanit employees collecting test data on nurse volunteers at Triple Army Medical Center! #innovation #medicaltechnology #monitoring

https://lnkd.in/gtAFsbNt COVID-19 levels remain relatively low in November, but there is anticipation amongst experts of a probable winter surge, aligned with historical patterns. The CDC’s latest projections for the 2024-2025 season suggest that a COVID-19 infection trend could peak around the new year, matching the summer cases that led to a high early peak. #SpreadAlohaNotCOVID

https://bit.ly/4hIo9XX As we enter the winter of 2024, concerns over COVID-19 transmission become heightened due to increased travel and holiday-related gatherings, and prevalence of other seasonal respiratory illnesses. Rapid testing remains a crucial tool in managing and reducing COVID-19 spread - spread Aloha, not COVID!

Happy Birthday to Marie Curie, a true pioneer of science and the first woman to win a Nobel Prize! Her work in radioactivity not only revolutionized medicine but also opened doors for countless women in STEM. #MarieCurie #STEM #birthday #WomeninScience #nobelprize

What if miniature, lab-grown organs could one day replace animal testing and transform medicine? Oceanit CEO Dr. Patrick K. Sullivan joined Hawaiʻi Public Radio’s The Conversation with Catherine Cruz to discuss our groundbreaking work on organoids—synthetic organs that mimic the complexity of real organs for revolutionary medical research. Listen in as Dr. Sullivan shares how our team, alongside the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is pioneering this exciting frontier in biomedical innovation. https://lnkd.in/gi4t77Yq
