Healthcare data analytics leader will power data integration, analytics and AI-driven insights for a statewide initiative to personalize family medicine residency training

ALPHARETTA, Ga., May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — IPC Global, an award-winning AI, Data and Analytics intelligence firm and Qlik Elite Solution Provider, has been named a key technology collaborator on a $1.1 million grant awarded by the American Medical Association’s (AMA) Transforming Lifelong Learning Through Precision Education Grant Program. The four-year grant, led by the Georgia Academy of Family Physicians (GAFP) and its Family Medicine Residency Collaborative, is one of 11 projects selected from nearly 200 applicants nationwide as part of a $12 million AMA investment to advance physician training through personalized learning and advanced technology.

Healthcare data analytics leader will power statewide initiative to personalize family medicine residency training

The project, titled “Individualized Learning Plans for Precision Education,” will implement a data-integrated residency navigation tool across 12 family medicine residency programs in Georgia. By linking electronic health record (EHR)-derived clinical performance and quality measures to structured, learner co-developed individualized learning plans, the initiative will enhance learner engagement, goal setting, and faculty coaching—powered by AI insights and real-time data analytics. With nearly 500 family medicine residents and faculty participating, the initiative is positioned to generate actionable insights and scalable models for residency training nationwide.

IPC Global will serve as the technology integration partner, bringing more than two decades of healthcare data analytics expertise to design and deploy the data infrastructure, analytics dashboards, and AI-powered tools that will form the backbone of the residency navigation system. Leveraging the Qlik data mgt, AI, and analytics flexible solutions and Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud architecture, IPC Global will help transform complex clinical and educational data into personalized, real-time intelligence that supports each resident’s professional development.

“For more than 20 years, IPC Global has worked alongside healthcare systems to put the power of data directly into the hands of clinicians and administrators. This AMA grant represents the next frontier—bringing that same precision and rigor to the way we train the physicians of tomorrow,” said Mark Meersman, Managing Partner of IPC Global. “When a resident can see their clinical performance data in real time, identify their own growth areas, and co-create a learning plan with their faculty coach, we are fundamentally changing the trajectory of medical healthcare education. This is precision education in action—data-driven, learner-centered, and designed to produce physicians who are better prepared to serve their patients and communities from day one.”

The precision education grant program is the latest investment from the AMA’s ChangeMedEd® initiative, which has invested nearly $50 million since 2013 to reimagine medical education. Precision education leverages data systems and technology, including augmented intelligence (AI), to tailor learning experiences to individual needs, optimizing learner time and focusing on targeted areas of growth.

“Technology and AI have the potential to reshape how physicians learn, practice, and care for their patients, and these grants will help bring that potential to life,” said AMA CEO John Whyte, MD, MPH. “As new tools emerge, we have an opportunity to build learning environments that are more engaging, more adaptable, and better aligned with the realities of practicing medicine. Our goal is to ensure that innovation strengthens the physician experience and creates a future where every physician is fully equipped to meet the needs of patients.”

The Georgia-based initiative will unfold across four phases—design and infrastructure building, integration, implementation, and dissemination—and will contribute findings through scholarly presentations and peer-reviewed publications to inform national graduate medical education (GME) improvement efforts.

The project is led by Principal Investigator Monica Newton, DO, MPH, and includes collaborating family medicine residency programs from across the state, including programs affiliated with Atrium Health, Emory University, the Medical College of Georgia, Morehouse School of Medicine, Northeast Georgia Medical Center, and Wellstar, among others. IPC Global and the University of Alaska serve as additional collaborating institutions on the grant team.

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.

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.
