Influential People Magazine honors a man who is truly on the frontlines of the #COVID crisis! Dr. Lance Patak best friend to Mikey Adam Cohen reached out to Cohen to partner and get the word out & change the Doctor/Patient passion/purpose treatment that is needed because Dr. Lance is a medical doctor on the frontlines that has invented something that will bring comfort to millions of COVID-19 patients. The inventor and patent holder of the Vidatak EZ Board, a communication system developed for those patients on mechanical ventilators. Dr.Lance Patak, M.D., MBA is the co-founder and current CEO and President of Vidatak, LLC. It was his passion for the communications needs of patients on mechanical ventilation that led him to invent and subsequently patent a communication device now known as the Vidatak EZ Board. Lance continued his education and focus on compassionate care, partnering with Dr. Traughber to refine and launch the Vidatak products. Now, while working at Seattle Children’s Hospital in the Department of Anesthesiology, Dr. Patak’s current efforts are to continue expanding Vidatak globally, continue to partner with healthcare organizations to improve bedside practices and to improve overall quality patient care. Highly sought as a speaker, Dr. Patak presents his research findings and his unique processes for changing bedside practice whenever possible. COVID-19 patients with respirators: ventilators on them can now communicate with anyone in the room with this board. Lance Patak & Mikey Adam Cohen believe this should be ordered with masks, gloves, respirators, etc and go to every bed in the hospital.
“When I most needed to communicate, I wasn’t able to. I couldn’t speak, and I couldn’t make myself understood.” -Sandra Bluman-COVID-19 Patient.
“Our Role in the COVID-19 Pandemic Corona Chronicled-World War C® prides itself on being a “celebration of what’s possible when you share.” At Corona Chronicled we strongly believe that humanity’s greatest superpower is its ability to share. That said, in this truly unprecedented state of the world, when it comes to this dreadful virus, not sharing can be the most powerful thing we can do for one another, for the planet, and ourselves.
Corona Chronicled-World War C® is in its corporate fundraising stage, so there is, unfortunately, at this point, nothing we can do to monetarily bolster the nonprofits that in these trying times need support more than ever. we say all the time, “Sharing is humanity’s superpower.” And now, more than ever, it is imperative that we all remain mindful of the power we have within us when we share, and most importantly, of how easily this dreadful virus is shared…As a very wise personal advisor this dreadful virus is shared…As a very wise personal advisor once told me, With this in mind, I feel it is important to turn our attention to what we can do, and that is, share with you our wish for you to stay informed, stay safe, and most importantly to diligently practice Social Distancing, not only for your sake, but for the sake of others, and to be mindful now more than ever how we are all truly connected.
At Corona Chronicled-World War C® we are keeping a careful eye on the progress of the COVID-19 Pandemic and limiting all of our business interactions online. We are hard at work aligning with socially conscious corporations and social impact investors to secure the funding we need to begin production so we can share with your entertainment and inspiration to support causes like cancer, Alzheimer’s, poverty, education, youth finding their purpose, influencers and more. And as a socially conscious citizen, you already know there is always more, which is why iCorona Chronicled-World War C® will always be there to support these important initiatives.
When we launch, our unique model for generating donations for the world’s nonprofits will allow for you to show up to see what we share, and just by doing so, your presence will help to generate funding for nonprofit organizations. Considering how financially impacted most people will be after this is all over, we anticipate that nonprofits will, in many nstances, have a hard time sustaining the very necessary work they do without the support they relied on in the past. Corona Chronicled-World War C® /Workin4GOOD hopes to be a welcomed addition to the nonprofit community, and an inspiring, uplifting way for the public to continue to support the work such organizations do, while hopefully being informed and entertained in the process. Looking Out For Each Other At Corona Chronicled-World War C®/ Workin4GOOD we say all the time, “Sharing is humanity’s superpower.” And now, more than ever, it is imperative that we all remain mindful of the power we have within us when we share, and most importantly, of how easily this dreadful virus is shared.
We are sharing what we know to be the most up-to-date data on the global spread of COVID-19, please look out for one another. It wouldn’t be nearly as much fun when we launch, without you here to share with.
Vidatak EZ Board and VidaTalk App Being Donated to Hospitals and Clinicians to Improve COVID-19 Patients’ Condition EZ Boards and the VidaTalk App allow patients to express their needs and indicate the type of pain they are experiencing. Ann Arbor, MI – Vidatak, a trusted supplier of communication products for hospitalbased patients, and Acuity Medical (Annapolis, MD), Vidatak’s master distributor, have announced they are continuing to provide FREE EZ Boards – a simple to use communication board designed for non-verbal patients, and their VidaTalk App to hospitals during this global health crisis. Both organizations have budgeted funds to support intubated COVID-19 patients by providing these bedside hand-held solutions. Staff can order FREE EZ Boards by email to mark@acuitymedical.com, or those who have tablets can download the EZ Board on their new app via VidaTalk for a free subscription until June 30, 2020.
The EZ Board is a sturdy but lightweight picture and word board that allows weak ventilated patients to express wants, convey needs, and indicate the type, degree, and location of their pain and other concerns. Through the Vidatak EZ Board, intubated patients can reduce their frustration while increasing their satisfaction with the medical attention they receive.
It has been reported that 5% of people with COVID-19 infections require intubation. With over 600,000 cases in the US today, that’s more than 30,000 COVID-19 positive patients being intubated so far. Because resources are scarce for many hospitals as they are scrambling to secure lifesaving equipment and protective gear for providers, the company wants to make these communication tools available at no cost to the hospitals and medical workers who need them. Hospitals that have been purchasing the EZ Boards are encouraged to continue purchasing to ensure those facilities in financial need may experience the greatest benefit.
Update April 15, 2020, as budgeted funds begin to run out, Vidatak has started a Go Fund Me campaign for help in continuing this valuable patient-centric program. The VidaTalk App available on a tablet is available in multiple languages but the demand for additional languages and platforms is high and costly to develop and implement. They are looking to manufacture 10,000+ EZ Boards and add 10 additional languages to the app to fulfill hospital requests.
The EZ Board was developed by Dr. Lance Patak, M.D., along with Paul Masvidal, who began translating research about the evidence-based innovation. Despite uncertainties on how to meet the intubated patients’ communication needs, Dr. Patak spent two years of research with these patients conducting careful end-user assessments and testing.
“With end-user feedback from 149 critically ill patients who had been intubated, we created the EZ Board to match the specific human factors that enable the board to be an effective tool when critically-ill. One of our patient’s husband owned a printing shop, Media Lithographic in City of Commerce, CA, who helped with early printing of the EZ Board. Our first commercial launched printed the EZ Boards in 1990 in five languages. Now, we have translated the board into twenty languages and have distributed the EZ Board to fifteen countries, and currently, we’ve developed an APP for electronic tablets which has also been rigorously tested and adapted to ensure it is an effective tool for critically-ill patients,” said Dr. Patak.
The EZ Board has currently become the standard in health-care for those intubated at thousands of pf hospitals in the U.S., including Sinai Health, Atrium Health, New York-Presbyterian, Penn Health, St. Jude’s, VA Health System, Children’s Health, UPMC, Kaiser, UCLA, Johns Hopkins Health System, and many more.
