Planet Defense LLC and UniDoc Health Corporation Collaborate to Deliver Smart Health Remote Clinics to Rural and Underserved Populations in the USA

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Planet Defense, a global leader in smart healthcare solutions, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with UniDoc Health Corporation (UniDoc), a North American-based firm renowned for its cutting-edge healthcare technologies. Together, the two companies will build and deploy Smart Health Remote Clinics - first in the State of Alaska and then nationwide - that overcome the numerous healthcare disparities faced by underserved populations.

This collaboration will truly revolutionize the access that such challenged communities have to quality healthcare and will make it possible for even the most vulnerable populations to consistently receive essential, first-rate medical services resulting in improved patient outcomes.

Planet Defense, in collaboration with a consortium of technology and healthcare partners, will conduct a first-of-its-kind pilot project utilizing UniDoc's state-of-the-art products in the State of Alaska. This pilot will allow both firms to assess the operational effectiveness and social impacts of those deployed Smart Health Remote Clinics as they work towards the broader goal of delivering these same types of clinics nationwide. To ensure the successful implementation of this initiative and to gather valuable insights for future expansion, Planet Defense and UniDoc will work closely with local healthcare organizations, community leaders, native corporations, and government agencies in Alaska and other US states. By fostering such strong relationships, both businesses aim to tailor these Smart Health Remote Clinics to the specific needs of rural and native populations along with other underserved communities so as to achieve healthcare that is culturally sensitive and patient-centric.

Cutting-edge technologies including state-of-the-art medical devices installed within the Smart Health Remote Clinics will offer patients a wide range of medical services such as primary care, specialized consultations, chronic disease management, and preventive care. These real-time, in-person and telehealth consultations, as well as effective diagnostics, treatments, and monitoring options will aid patients in better managing their health and wellness conditions. By leveraging such advanced capabilities, these clinics will bridge the gaps currently existing between patients from rural and underserved populations and their healthcare providers. Each deployed clinic will be staffed with a registered nurse (RN) and a qualified technology specialist.

Dr. Indu Singh, President and CEO of Planet Defense LLC, stated, "Rural and underserved populations utilizing our Smart Health Remote Clinics will greatly benefit from this collaborative effort which will then lead to accessible, equitable, and inclusive healthcare for all regardless of location or socioeconomic status. By bringing advanced healthcare services directly into underserved communities, our creative and effective solutions will successfully address the challenges of geographical distance, transportation limitations, and the lack of healthcare infrastructure in remote areas. Doing so will have a very positive impact on communities in need - improving patient healthcare outcomes and enhancing patients' overall well-being."

Expressing his enthusiasm for this innovative endeavor, Mr. Antonio Baldassarre, UniDoc's President and CEO, said, "We are delighted to work hand in hand with Planet Defense. This partnership is an important milestone in our mission to improve healthcare delivery. By combining our extensive technological experience and capabilities with Planet Defense's proven smart strategic leadership and systems integration, we are confident that together we will make a very visible and measurable difference in the lives of native and underserved populations throughout America."

Planet Defense LLC Launches Nationwide Cybersecurity Assessment and Training Services for Municipal, County and State Governments

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Planet Defense LLC, a leading global provider of cybersecurity solutions, is pleased to announce the nationwide launch of its comprehensive cybersecurity assessment and training services tailored specifically for municipal, county, and state governments. This milestone represents a major step forward in strengthening the cybersecurity postures of government entities across the nation.

The importance of robust cybersecurity measures for government organizations of all sizes cannot be overstated. Because they hold vast amounts of sensitive data - including personal information, critical infrastructure details, and operational strategies - these entities have become prime targets for cybercriminals seeking to exploit vulnerabilities and disrupt essential public services.

Recognizing the urgent need for proactive cybersecurity preparedness, Planet Defense has developed an extensive suite of cyber consulting and engineering services designed to effectively address the unique challenges faced by local and state governments. Leveraging our deep expertise and industry-leading practices, we offer a range of cyber assessment, remediation, and infrastructure improvement services that fortify government systems and networks so as to ensure the continuity of their respective operations, as well as to improve their ability to respond more successfully to evolving cyber threats.

"We are very excited to launch our cybersecurity assessment and training services for municipal, county, and state governments all across America," said Dr. Indu B. Singh, President and CEO of Planet Defense. He further added, "With our specialized expertise and dedication to helping these types of government institutions enhance their cybersecurity resilience, we are confident in our ability to make a significant positive impact on the nation's cyber defense readiness."

Dr. Singh also noted that, "America's cities and counties must provide the first line of defense against cyber criminals. Our firm's mission is to empower local and state government agencies with the knowledge, skills, strategies, and tools needed to effectively combat cyber threats. We do this by first delivering customized cyber assessments that detect the vulnerabilities existing within their systems, networks, and applications. Then, with an in-depth understanding of the actual risks in hand, we provide each government entity with our best practice remediation recommendations to rapidly mitigate or eliminate those detected threats, plus detailed advisement on how their current infrastructure can be strengthened and improved into the future on a regular basis."

Planet Defense additionally remains committed to providing continuous support to all of our government clients even after completion of the assessment and remediation phases. To help them successfully navigate the extremely treacherous global digital world now and in the future, we offer ongoing monitoring, incident response guidance, regular cyber industry best practice updates, and numerous training courses focused on: 1) developing general cybersecurity awareness knowledge and skills for all levels of governmental staff, and 2) advanced technical cybersecurity skills for governmental personnel working within IT-related environments.
