Ventipeep, a revolutionary respiratory mask has been saving more than 1200 lives of COVID-19 patients across major hospitals in the country since its launch on the 1st of July, 2020. Introduced by Flextool Equipment Pvt. Ltd. after successful trials at Nair & Hinduja hospitals in Mumbai, Ventipeep is a new age respiratory mask, developed to administer supplemental oxygen (medically referred to as FiO2). It is not only utilized in ICU wards but is also extremely useful in regulating the oxygen levels in COVID-19 & ARDS patient wards. The mask is an excellent aid to small hospitals which lack infrastructure as it helps reduce the time needed for treatment and can be used in any ward of the hospital.
At a glance, the Ventipeep is a twin port mask. However to differentiate, the new mask has a first of its kind high flow oxygen driver that can take care of High Flow Oxygen Therapy, replacing the HFNO Machine and also a PEEP valve that can control the Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) in the lungs of the patient, allowing the equipment to work like a BiPAP with a High Flow Oxygen Therapy System. High flow oxygen reduces the black spots in the windpipe and replaces all carbon content with oxygen. PEEP maintains positive pressure in the lungs, allowing it to exchange the gases at the faster rate.
Termed as a miracle device by eminent doctors across India, Ventipeep is used as a non-invasive ventilator. Normally a Ventilator / BiPAP / CPAP & other treatments require experts and are expensive. Hospitals have a limited number of devices and can be used on a limited number of patients. In the present scenario, the demand for ICU beds is extremely high. Approximately, 35% of COVID-19 patients have required a ventilator during treatment. Ventipeep can be used on a regular hospital bed and does not require an ICU bed, does not need the intervention of an expert and can be operated by any non-medical staff as well. Therefore, it considerably reduces cost of operation, unlike a ventilator. As compared to treatment with ventilators, Ventipeep assures higher lifesaving capacity.
“Owing to the lockdown and its worsening scenario, we envisaged creating a revolutionary product to address the lack of a solution to the challenges faced by the ICU wards and the overall medical infrastructure of India. Along with Dr. Parthiv Shah – TB Chest Specialist, we developed a high flow oxygen therapy to create a prototype, which could be used without an HFNO machine in any ward of a hospital, in the month of May.”, says Purvang Shah, Director. Once the mask was tested and found to be useful for COVID-19 patients, Purvang started manufacturing Ventipeep in small batches. Currently, this respiratory mask is gaining the attention of hospitals to save lives of patients admitted to the ICU and most importantly, COVID-19 patients. Apart from hospital wards, Ventipeep can be utilized as a life saving device in ambulances during emergencies.
“The idea is to reduce the fatality rate and improve the recovery rate of COVID & ARDS Patients in India and across the world. As we continue our quest to develop innovative products for the betterment of healthcare in our country, we anticipate the active participation of private & public hospitals, government, institutes, medical and para medical fraternity. Our goal is to support Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ by manufacturing medical devices made in India, thereby reducing dependence on imports and giving an impetus to exports.”, adds Purvang.

As temperatures continue to drop across the United States, it’s essential for people to take additional precautions and protect themselves against common winter illnesses, such as influenza (common cold) and the flu. Growing concerns regarding the second wave of the coronavirus have further prompted individuals to care for their personal health and ensure the safety of themselves and their families.
During this time, the online health and wellness platform, UrFitPal.com is helping increase awareness about personal health and safety in line with recommendations from the CDC.
Speaking about their efforts, a company representative stated, “At UrFitPal, our goal is to make health and wellness information more accessible and easier to understand. We routinely collaborate with medical experts to publish high-quality informational content about the various health and safety subjects such as food and nutrition, mental wellbeing, habit building, and fitness.” “This year, we’re focusing a large portion of our efforts on information regarding health during the winter season. Given the ongoing healthcare crisis, it has become even more important for people to prioritize wellbeing—particularly those who’re at a higher risk of complications. This includes young children, senior adults, and those with compromised immune systems.”
Healthcare workers are also urging individuals to take care of their health during this winter season. The symptoms associated with the flu and common cold closely match those of COVID-19, which can lead to unnecessary confusion. This is likely to further exacerbate the problem of America’s already overburdened healthcare system.
Additionally, medical professionals worry that illnesses commonly linked to the cold weather such as the flu, norovirus, strep throat, and RSV/bronchiolitis affect the lungs and can weaken them. As such, individuals who contract COVID-19 are after this are at a higher risk of developing severe symptoms. As such, it’s essential for businesses and consumers to come together and spread awareness and science-backed information about fitness and health.

(CEO: Mr. Naveen Prasad)
All of us who had welcomed 2020 with lots of hope and spirit were caught off-guarded by the novel Corona Virus – 2019 (COVID19). While most viruses are responsible for common cold and flu, the COVID19 declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) has all set to disrupt both health and global wealth!
The global equity indices of MSCI World, S&P 500, and STOXX Europe 600 have been wavering within short period time in a matter of weeks with a record high on February 19, 2020 to a low on March 18, 2020 and rising back again in June-2020.
The impact on M&A landscape is no exception with deals values down by more than 30% compared to previous years which has brought a definite strategy switch for addressing distressed assets in the wake of COVID -19. The last quarter inscribed a whopping $2.1 trillion distress debt globally, especially in Asia with India and China leading the tally. Even though there is a drastic surge in corporate debt distress funds in the world, the fund managers; especially in distress debt is on high exigency.
As in the past, M&A landscape has been time tested and endured the past economic crisis such as Lehman Brothers collapse in 2008, dot-com bubble in 2000-2002 and the Great Recession of 2009. Ironically, the anticipated global M&A volume changes in 2020 is up by +2% globally providing a positive outlook. M&A Advisory Firms in Germany
Many of the investment firm whose diversified funds are battered by falling oil prices and economic fall-out because of the pandemic. We can’t set aside the quadrupled debt of US economy without any segment discrimination. The investment in segments like financial services, oil, gas and consumable fuels, hotels, restaurants and leisure industries are wiped out during this period. So the M&A has to be structured based on the turnaround time and special situations. Since all the segments are sabotaged because of non-revenue and COVID being the common cause, M&A pose an opportunity and threat in the same platter.
The exit parameters have to be reworked based on an emergency situation. The distressed debt trading and control will be challenging to the policy makers. The rising cost and hiccups in logistics will definitely add on to the plight. But the opportunity is big and the landscape of operations have widened. Rather than pumping investment to distress funds for profit or stakes, a winner should evaluate and explore the revenue generation option at a rock-bottom cost with the help of naive technology based business operations.
Winston Churchill quoted “There is nothing wrong in change … if it is in the right direction.” So the forward-thinking leader’s positive mindset could set the stage on how to play effectively. Effective and efficient use of digital technologies infusing them with traditional M&A process will ensure smoother deal cycles starting from screening till post-deal activities. Due to COVID19 remote working trend, the use of new collaborative tools, data-driven approach, AI enhanced search and using analytics will yield better results

Engagedly announces the launch of their new UI ‘Tangerine’, designed with unique features for a better user experience. The role-based platform is aimed to bring more value to the performance review system.
St. Louis, MO. December 10, 2020 – Engagedly (https://engagedly.com/), a leading provider of SaaS solutions for performance management, is pleased to announce the launch of their new User Interface ‘Tangerine’. With unique features and fresh design, Tangerine is aimed to make performance management simpler and smarter.
The interface is carefully designed to keep users focused on what’s important to them. With more filters, searches, and grouping, the product brings more value to the performance review system. Its simplistic design makes the interface easy to navigate.
“The challenge that most Talent Management Systems encounter is, they are not engaging enough to drive adoption of it by teams. With a completely reimagined human-centric design that offers an intuitive UI, fresh colors, and role-based contextual views, Engagedly’s new ‘Tangerine’ release hopes to drive adoption.” – said Jay Shankar, Co-Founder, and CEO at Engagedly.
The role-based platform allows users to handle information at a high level, solely relevant to their roles. This helps individuals work with fewer distractions. For example, a manager can only see data about him/her and his/her team members, set up goals for them, track their progress, evaluate them, and offer feedback. However, if someone wants to get to the bottom level, the admin can provide access to the data. Jay believes, “With this launch, Engagedly betters its promise of offering flexibility and power to HR administrators while keeping it simple for end-users.”
Another updated aspect of the UI is zero-state. It gives users context on the actions they can perform. Individuals using the product will be able to see a screen that is not crowded with information when they first get there. The screen will have content when the user populates it with relevant data, which can be used as a guide for their next step.
