NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Healing Innovations, Inc. partners with Barrett Medical, bringing best-of-class full-body neurorehabilitation to facilities nationwide. Together, the pair is expanding access to cutting-edge rehabilitation technology, offering a complete end-effector solution for rehabilitation clinics.

Healing Innovations is the creator of the Rise&Walk® InClinic, a 3-in-1 rehabilitation system that helps patients learn to walk again. Barrett Medical is the market leader in upper-extremity robotics with its Burt® (Barrett Upper-Extremity Robotic Trainer).

“Partnering with Barrett Medical allows us to offer a truly comprehensive rehabilitation solution, expanding access to advanced technology for patients and clinics,” said Luke Benda, CEO of Healing Innovations. “Together, we are redefining what’s possible in neurorehabilitation, pushing the boundaries of innovation to help more patients regain mobility and independence. We’re excited to collaborate with a leading United-States-based robotics company to accelerate recovery and enhance patient outcomes.”

Through this partnership, the two companies offer a more comprehensive therapeutic offering for clinics and hospitals, to better support therapists and patients alike.

Burt® and Rise&Walk® share several key strengths that set them apart in the market. As market leaders, both technologies offer a quick setup time and simple operation, ensuring ease of use for clinicians and patients alike.

Their end-effector design, which is gaining popularity as an easy-to-use, efficient rehabilitation tool, eliminates over-constrained kinematics, allowing for more natural movement and adaptability. With natural backdrivability, they provide maximum safety and smooth interaction during therapy. Additionally, they support both open-chain and closed-chain exercises, enhancing versatility. Competitively priced and coupled with white-glove service, these solutions deliver exceptional value. Designed and assembled in the United States, Burt® and Rise&Walk® are setting the standard for innovation in rehabilitation technology worldwide.

Beyond the technologies themselves, both Healing Innovations and Barrett Medical stand out as United-States-based companies committed to high-quality manufacturing and service. As vertically integrated organizations, they design, engineer, and manufacture their products in-house, ensuring greater control over innovation and quality. Additionally, both companies are experiencing rapid growth, expanding access to cutting-edge rehabilitation solutions that improve patient outcomes and streamline clinical workflows.

“We feel a strong kinship with Healing Innovations in terms of shared values and cultures in support of the best customer experience,” said Matt Rigby, Chief Commercial Officer at Barrett.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
