Jumo Health Continues to Celebrate Youth Leaders as They Advocate for Patients and Their Families

Published

on

For the fourth year in a row, a global health education company will be the presenting sponsor of the 2024 International Children’s Advisory Network Research & Advocacy Summit in Bari, Italy

NEW HAVEN, Conn., June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Jumo Health, a global provider of age-appropriate, culturally sensitive medical education resources, today announced its ongoing commitment to the International Children’s Advisory Network (iCAN) as the Presenting Sponsor of its 2024 Research and Advocacy Summit, held in Bari, Italy from July 14-20. For the last 10 years, iCAN has provided a voice for children and their families across the globe.

“Our commitment to iCAN and the children and families they support goes well beyond a week in July each year,” shared Kevin Aniskovich, President and CEO of Jumo Health and a member of the iCAN Advisory Board. “Supporting pediatric advocacy is central to Jumo Health’s corporate mission to elevate health literacy and ensure health equity.  The annual iCAN Summit serves as a gathering for participants from more than 30 countries to share, learn, and inspire others with their stories of hope,” continued Aniskovich. “Each year we arrive excited to learn and leave ready to bring their ideas to life,” concluded Aniskovich.

Capitalizing on the unique knowledge base it created to address the unmet needs of pediatric patients, Jumo Health has since applied that knowledge to serve patients of all ages, across all cultures, in multiple languages. This skill set has allowed the company to remain committed to serving the entire care circle by developing relatable resources that reflect real patient experiences.

At this year’s iCAN Research and Advocacy Summit, Jumo Health will lead two interactive sessions:

The Power of Authentic Storytelling, Presented by Jesse Jankewicz & Riley Brunner 
In this interactive session, leaders from Jumo Health will explain the impact that real patient stories can have and discuss different mediums that attendees can use to share their experiences with others. This session will provide attendees with the opportunity to bring their stories to life in whatever form they choose, including writing, drawing, and video.

Understanding Informed Consent/Assent: A Focus Group, Presented by Rebecca Schelkun & Joe Brady
Jumo Health will discuss the critical components of informed consent forms and why it is important to make the information easy to understand. Then, the session will break out into smaller groups to review a real informed consent form in three different formats to test how well information is retained when presented in different ways.

“It continues to be an honor partnering with Jumo Health in our shared mission of Empowering Pediatric Patients Worldwide, and we are proud to have them as our Presenting Sponsor for the 2024 iCAN Research and Advocacy Summit” said Leanne West, iCAN President and Chief Engineer, Pediatric Technologies at Georgia Tech. “Communication and creativity go hand in hand, and iCAN’s global network of youth members benefits greatly from the work Jumo is doing in supporting health literacy for kids of all ages and conditions.”

The annual iCAN Summit provides an opportunity for its youth members to meet in person with those dedicated to improving pediatric health care, including entrepreneurs, researchers, scientists, and physicians from around the world. In addition to learning more about medical and scientific advances, participants will have the opportunity to interact and share their own stories and experiences navigating the health care system.

“At last year’s iCAN summit, I had an amazing time exploring the captivating coasts and numerous attractions of San Diego while also contributing my voice to pediatric healthcare and research as a patient with a rare disease. It was an incredible opportunity to discuss my passions for rare disease advocacy with experts and professionals from various research organizations,” reflected Meghan Herrington, the iCAN Youth Council Chair and a rising freshman at Brown University.

Greenzie releases 2025 Annual Safety Report, documenting multi-year safety performance at commercial scale

Published

on

By

The data shows zero lost-time injuries, zero OSHA medical attentions and zero human near-misses across real-world operation

ATLANTA, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Greenzie, the technology platform powering commercial autonomy across multiple OEMs, today shared multi-year safety data from real-world commercial operation, documenting more than 150,000 autonomous miles with zero lost-time injuries, zero OSHA medical attentions and zero human near-misses. The data is published in Greenzie’s 2025 Annual Safety Report, available at greenzie.com/safety.

The report is based on extensive operational data spanning more than 5.4 billion square feet of turf mowed, 68,000+ hours of autonomous mowing and more than 50,000 operator days, the equivalent of 265 mowing seasons.

“Greenzie is helping define safety in autonomous landscape operations, and transparency is a critical part of that,” said Steve Bush, chief operating officer of Greenzie. “These results show that commercial autonomy is operating safely at meaningful scale in the field. Transparency matters because as this category matures, real-world data helps build confidence in what responsible deployment looks like.”

The report’s findings are particularly significant in the context of the U.S. landscaping industry, which employs roughly 1.3 million workers and experiences a higher-than-average rate of workplace accidents compared to other fields. Greenzie’s multi-year operating data shows that autonomy is not theoretical; it is already being deployed consistently and performing safely at scale.

“Greenzie Powered Autonomy™ has been validated through years of sustained use in the field,” Bush said. “That level of real-world performance reinforces both the reliability of our platform and the broader readiness of commercial autonomy.”

Greenzie attributes this performance to a disciplined safety approach that includes robust perception, tested operating standards and continuous validation in real-world commercial environments.

About Greenzie

Founded in 2018, Greenzie is the technology platform powering commercial autonomy. Created to solve the landscape industry’s labor and productivity challenges, Greenzie works with leading equipment manufacturers to deliver the software, navigation and safety systems that enable mowing and other outdoor power equipment to operate autonomously in real-world commercial environments. Today, Greenzie’s platform is running on hundreds of machines in active use, helping manufacturers bring autonomy to market and allowing operators to get more done with limited labor—moving autonomy from early experimentation to everyday operations.
