School is supposed to be a place where children learn and grow, but certain school environments may not be a good fit for kids with ADHD and learning disabilities. So when is it time to consider a new school? Are there ways to work with your child’s current school to transform it into a better learning environment?

PROVO, UTAH, UNITED STATES, March 5, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Kyle Hansen, the administrator of Intermountain Logan Regional Hospital, has been named the new administrator of Intermountain Utah Valley Hospital in Provo, succeeding Kevin Brooks who left Intermountain last month.
Hansen will begin transitioning to his new role in the next few weeks and a search for his replacement at Intermountain Logan Regional Hospital will begin immediately.
“Kyle is a seasoned hospital administrator and effective leader. He has been at the helm in Logan for four years and has an impressive list of accomplishments. During his tenure there, he has helped develop the cancer program, raising more than $7 million toward the expansion of the cancer center to provide high-quality oncology care for the residents of northern Utah,” said Joe Mott, associate chief operating officer of Intermountain’s Specialty-Based Care Group.
As a champion of continuous improvement, Hansen led improved quality of care at the hospital and helped his team implement more than 8,000 ideas that resulted in $3 million in cost savings for the facility and its patients.
During Hansen’s tenure, Intermountain Logan Regional Hospital has been recognized with the IBM Watson Top 100 Hospitals award and has received an A grade in safety from the Leapfrog Group. During his time in Logan, Hansen has also been active in the community serving on the boards of the Family Place and the Cache Chamber of Commerce.
Prior to his role at Logan, Hansen served as an operations officer at Intermountain McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden. Before joining Intermountain Healthcare in 2011, he worked as an assistant administrator at Sutter Health’s Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in the Oakland, Calif. Area. Hansen completed his bachelor’s degree at the University of Utah and earned an MHA degree at the University of Minnesota.
Intermountain Healthcare is a Utah-based, not-for-profit system of 23 hospitals, 180 clinics, a Medical Group with some 1,500 employed physicians, a health plans division called SelectHealth, and other health services. Helping people live the healthiest lives possible®, Intermountain is widely recognized as a leader in clinical quality improvement and in efficient healthcare delivery.

ADAS SENSORS 2019 CONFERENCE & EXPO FOCUSES ON
ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS,
THE FUTURE OF EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES, & APPLICATIONS
FEATURES KEY PLAYERS IN ADAS TECHNOLOGY, MANUFACTURING, INVESTMENTS, & MILITARY
Press release: http://www.thomas-pr.com/microtechventures/microtechspeakersadassensorsrelease.html
March 6, 2019, Birmingham, Michigan – The 4th annual ADAS Sensors 2019 conference and expo (http://www.adassensors.com) will showcase industry insights from key players in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). This event features over 250 attendees, 34 technical presentations and 30+ exhibitors, held on March 20-21, 2019 in Detroit Michigan. See the full conference agenda at: http://www.adassensors.com/agenda.html and speakers’ abstracts at: http://www.adassensors.com/speakers.html.
ADAS Sensors 2019 conference speakers include top executives from Citi Research, Magneti Marelli, DENSO, Analog Devices, IHS Markit, Woodside Capital, AIStorm, Motus Ventures, and more, who will discuss topics, including ADAS, camera/video, radar, LIDAR, ultrasonic, infrared (IR) sensors, AI, VR & AR, sensor fusion, virtual sensors, robo-taxis, the future of networked mobility, military vehicles, market trends, emerging applications, mergers and acquisitions, venture capital, and successful start-up tactics.
Key Speakers (full list at: http://www.adassensors.com/speakers.html):
David Schie, CEO, AIStorm –
Topic: Analog AI Technologies for ADAS Applications. An overview of emerging imaging solutions will be discussed, including various approaches to LIDAR and details of CIS/optics, as well as how analog AI can be used to improve the processing of the imaging solutions by reducing the chance of missing key data, pruning data in real time, and eliminating expensive components such as ADCs. He will also highlight several leading companies focused on analog AI technologies, as well as several academia R&D groups. Full abstract at: http://www.adassensors.com/speakers.html#david_schie
Harvey Weinberg, Division Technologist, Analog Devices –
Topic: Technologies for Autonomous Cars - Musings on Missing Pieces and Proposed Solutions. Autonomous cars have been promised as being “right around the corner” for several years. But there are still several significant remaining road blocks standing in the way, including sparse legislation governing autonomous vehicles, inadequate infrastructure to support autonomous driving, lack of standards, and several technical gaps that keep Level 4 and 5 vehicles out of reach. This talk will touch on several of these gaps, with particular attention to outstanding technical challenges. Full abstract at: http://www.adassensors.com/speakers.html#harvey_weinberg.
Itay Michaeli, Director, U.S. Autos and Auto Parts, Citi Research-
Topic: Robo-Taxis and the Race for the Future of Networked Mobility. How close are we to ditching our personal cars? While we may not be up to personal flying taxis yet, it seems that reality may finally be catching up with the hype. Robo-taxis are being planned for cities and surrounding suburbs, and the race to launch and commercialize these robo-taxis are all about building a powerful network effect.

Tony Cannestra, Director of Corporate Ventures, DENSO -
Topic: Automotive Computer Vision Startups - Key Investment Factors. Over the past three years, there have been significant advances in computer vision technologies. What are the important criteria that investment groups examine when considering an investment in a vision sensor startup company? Topics will include expected sensor performance, the overall market opportunity, competitive landscape, successful startups, and how to work within the auto industry to achieve success. Full abstract at: http://www.adassensors.com/speakers.html#tony_cannestra.
Phil Amsrud, Senior Principal Analyst, IHS Markit -
Topic: Emerging Trends and Market Outlook. Self-driving cars will usher in a new segment to support ride-hailing applications and will change the vehicle’s architecture from being ECU based to domain controller based. How will the sensor suite morph to support these changes? Will it be more of the same or will LIDAR be the one technology to enable everything? Are there other sensor technologies that will have a place within the self-driving car? Will these technologies be in addition to or will they displace existing technologies? And finally, what’s the impact of the upcoming ride-hailing model? Full abstract at: http://www.adassensors.com/speakers.html#phil_amsrud.
Gary Streelman, Director, Magneti Marelli -
Topic: V2X Technologies – Complementary Enhancement for ADAS Applications. Vehicles today are safer than they were in the past due, in part, to the addition of advanced driver-assistance systems, or ADAS. These systems “look” around the vehicle to determine where there might be something that would cause an unsafe situation, and then are able to alert the driver. Another approach to improve safety, is to have vehicles communicate with each other and other objects wirelessly, which is called vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) or vehicle-to-everything (V2X). V2X can act as another sensor input that adds to the current suite of sensors used for ADAS applications. Full abstract at:

Jim DiSanto, Managing Director, Motus Ventures -
Topic: The Road to Mobile Robots - Emerging Opportunities and Megatrends. In the past five years, many of us in the venture capital community have witnessed an explosion of startup companies developing mobile robots for a myriad of applications. Typically, these robots are designed to displace a human worker. Examples include self-driving vehicles, drones, as well as cleaning, agricultural, delivery, and food preparation robots. We see this as only the tip of the iceberg: roughly 3.2 billion jobs consisting mostly of manual labor could be replaced by robots in the coming years and decades.
