While commercial gyms have been reopening in stages, Dentons recreation centers are taking a slower approach. In the last few days, Denton residents with group exercise memberships got an email from Alicia McDaniel, the manager of North Lakes Recreation Center and the citys fitness program supervisor.

McDaniel gave us a lot of news in just a few sentences.

New protocols will include social distancing, credit card-only transactions, bring your own mat, bring your own towel, and shower at home, McDaniel said in the email. A new air filtration system, touchless restroom facilities, and hand sanitizer will be available, plus more. Protecting your health, your way is encouraged, but masks and gloves will not be required.

Residents who use the group exercise programs (which are exclusively at North Lakes) were also invited to take a survey that will help the staff determine which classes to bring back first. If you missed it, you can still take the survey online.

Churches are opening in Denton, too. New Life Church opened its doors with careful social-distancing setups about two weeks ago. This past week, Saint David of Wales Episcopal Church in Denton had its first Mass on the Grass.

It was a fully outdoor service with communion-to-go. Parishioners brought their own chairs and arranged themselves on the church lawn (one of the loveliest in Denton, really) with each household in clusters six feet apart. As people left, Associate Rector Sam Adams (extra points for sharing a name with a beer, which seems like something an Episcopalian probably enjoys) blessed vehicles with holy water.

Associate Rector Sam Adams blessed cars with holy water as the faithful left, and Fr. Paul Nesta preached from an altar on the lawn.

We had about 45 people attend, and it was an amazing feeling to be able to gather in person as a community again, said Wendy Martinez, a spokesperson at the church.

Saint David will continue Mass in the Grass each Sunday at 8 a.m., until the bishop gives the green light for the parishioners to move back into the sanctuary, which is as lovely as the lawn.

To exist as a Theatre of Color is an act of resistance, the statement said. We use the power of art to demand that our communities are seen and heard. Our art cannot exist in a silo. Our demands for narrative change are inherently politicized. ... [Last] weeks events illuminate systemic racism and white supremacy so clearly that the world can no longer repudiate what communities of color have known for centuries. ... We feel the pain of these communities because we are from these communities and this is why we serve.

The Fort Worth Catholic Diocese includes Dentons parishes. Last Thursday, Bishop Michael Olson, celebrated a noon Mass at St. Patrick Cathedral for the repose of the soul of George Floyd, his family and for peace and an end to civil discord.

Let us pray for humanity: to remember and insist that my neighbor is as human as I am or as human as anyone else, as much made in Gods image and likeness no more and no less, Olsen said. When I speak of a system of justice I am not simply referring to a system of laws and procedures that are the edicts of the powerful, but rather a system of justice that is established in a recognition and respect for human nature that provides for a morality that is both compassionate and binding.

If your feelings of reconciliation arent overwhelmed by rage and despair, make a note in your calendar: A group of local residents is organizing Denton Juneteenth, from 5 to 10 p.m. June 20 in Fred Moore Park. Remember your social distancing, and consider wearing a mask.

While Denton Juneteenth is on, the annual Denton County Fruit, Vegetable, Herb & Flower Show has been canceled.

Nexstim Plc: Amendment of the terms of stock options programs and warrants - GlobeNewswire

Tai chi is associated with a lift in the mood and quality of life of older adults with cardiovascular disease, according to a new meta-analysis of more than a dozen existing studies on the topic.

If youve had a heart attack or stroke, or are affected by another heart condition, I would strongly recommend adding tai chi to your recovery and rehabilitation, says Ruth Taylor-Piliae, one of the studys authors and a professor of nursing at the University of Arizona, in a released statement. There are physical benefits like improved balance, and its good for mental health too.

Almost half of American adults 121 million people have some form of cardiovascular disease, which are problems with the heart, blood vessels or both. Most (about 90 percent) have high blood pressure, while the rest have such conditions as coronary heart disease, chronic heart failure or a history of stroke. The risk of developing these conditions increases with age.

Its common for people with cardiovascular disease to experience a decreased quality of life, as well as symptoms of psychological distress, such as stress, anxiety and depression. As background information in the meta-analysis points out, 20 percent of people with coronary heart disease, 27 percent of people with high blood pressure and 35 percent of stroke survivors report symptoms of depression.

Tai chi a mind-body form of exercise that combines slow, gentle movements with relaxation and breathing has been shown to boost the psychological well-being of people with various chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease. Its also been linked to a reduction in symptoms of anxiety and depression and in improving quality of life. But those studies have tended to be small, and information specifically about tai chis effects on people with cardiovascular disease has been limited.

Taylor-Piliae and her co-author, doctoral student Brooke Finlay, decided to do a meta-analysis a type of study that pools data from multiple studies to get a result with a strong statistical power to get a better sense of the association between tai chi and psychological wellbeing.

For the meta-analysis, the researchers looked at the data from 15 English- and German-language clinical trials conducted in Asia, North America and Europe during the past decade. The studies included a total of 1,853 participants with high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, heart failure or a history of stroke. Their ages averaged in the 60s.

The studies randomly assigned some of their participants to take a tai chi class regularly for periods that ranged between six and 52 weeks. The average number of classes across the studies was 36. The rest of the studies participants the control groups were assigned to receive either their usual care, some other type of exercise or an educational program about easing stress and staying healthy.

All participants were questioned at the beginning and at the end of the study about their quality of life. Their levels of psychological distress, stress, anxiety and depression were also assessed.

The meta-analysis found that, overall, older adults in the tai chi groups reported significantly better quality of life and less depression and psychological distress at the end of the studies than those in the control groups.

No statistically significant association was found between tai chi and reduced anxiety, perhaps because few studies measured anxiety, say Taylor-Piliae and Finlay.

Interestingly, tai chi appears to offer people with cardiovascular disease different benefits based on their diagnosis. For example, those in the studies with coronary heart disease who took up tai chi reported significantly better psychological quality of life than those in the control groups, while those with high blood pressure reported significantly better physical health quality of life. People in the tai chi groups with chronic heart failure did not, however, report significant improvement in quality of life, but they experienced less depression and psychological distress compared with the control groups.

Tai chi did not appear to have a significant effect on the quality of life of stroke survivors. This is because there were very few studies on psychological well-being or quality of life variables in this group, says Taylor-Piliae. There is a lot of research on tai chi in stroke survivors but nearly all of them looked at physical function such as balance and gait.

The meta-analysis has limitations. Notably, the data it used came only from studies published in English or German. In addition, women were underrepresented in most of the studies involving people with coronary heart disease or chronic heart failure, a factor that limits the findings generalizability for those two conditions.

Still, the findings are in line with other research that has linked mind-body exercise programs, such as yoga, with improved outcomes both physical and psychological in heart patients.

I think its the synergy between postures and breathing, says Taylor-Piliae. During tai chi you have good body posture, and research has shown that this enhances mood. We also know that holding your breath can cause stress and anxiety.

Tai chi is well suited for people of any age or exercise ability and can be safely adapted for anybody, she adds. People with low tolerance to exercise or breathing problems can do it in a chair. Group classes for others with cardiovascular disease are a positive place for social support and camaraderie there is no judgment; you just do what you can.

Of course, taking an in-person tai chi class right now, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, is not recommended, and Taylor-Piliae warns against beginners signing up for an online class. Doing the movements incorrectly may lead to knee pain, she points out.

During the COVID lockdown, you could search for where there are some group-based tai chi classes so youre ready to enroll when they restart, she advises.

FMI: The study was published in the European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, which is published by the European Society of Cardiology. Youll find an abstract of the study on the journals website, but the full study is behind a paywall.

Scott Greenspan recently received his doctorate in School Psychology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. As a mental health counselor, he works to create opportunities for schools to be hubs of wellness interventions. Scotts research draws from his own experiences working with youth in a variety of capacities, as well as his understanding of the vital role exercise plays in wellness.

His research has focused on the integration of physical activity within school-based mental health programs as well as gender-affirming school-based interventions for sexual minority and gender-diverse youth. Scott is currently completing his pre-doctoral clinical internship at Judge Baker Childrens Center in Boston and holds an appointment as a Clinical Fellow at Harvard Medical School.

In this interview, Scott discusses how a social justice approach informs his work and why it matters for schools to focus on gender-diverse youth in sport. He addresses the influence that the COVID-19 pandemic may be having on adolescents and what parents and teachers can do to help. Scott offers practical solutions for integrating physical exercise into virtual learning. You can find out more about Scott on LinkedinandTwitter.

The transcript below has been edited for length and clarity. Listen to the audio of the interview here.

Scott Greenspan: Personally and professionally, Im interested in the intersection of engagement and wellness practices, particularly physical activity and how that impacts psychosocial functioning for kids. I have experience coming at it from the perspective of a former youth athlete as well as a former coach and swimming instructor.

Particularly with physical activity, youre getting a lot of benefits, including a reduction in stress, improved mood, and greater self-confidence. Then there are other added benefits of being on a team and having that cohesion and developing the social, emotional, and life skills.

As School Psychologists, we are well-positioned to promote social, emotional, and life skills for kids. There seems to be a bit of a gap with where physical activity and wellness practices intersect within the field of School Psychology. Bringing physical activity in an integrated way to practice as a school psychologist can provide added benefits for kids and support them with engaging in physical activity as a tool, and potentially, as a passion that they can have for their whole lives as an embedded coping skill and protective factor.

Greenspan: I have worked with kids in a volunteer capacity, tutoring, teaching swim lessons, and as a camp counselor. Ive been interested in child development and how we can support kids. In particular, I was interested in this idea that physical activity can help us in many ways. It can support our mood, support the way that we connect with others, and the way that we set goals.

For me, when I was in college, I started reading more about this link between physical activity and mental health. I decided that I wanted to become a mental health clinician, so I got my Masters in mental health counseling.

Throughout my time there, I was focused on both clinical practice and research around the role that exercise has in alleviating depressive symptoms. I also knew that there was a whole lot that wasnt being disseminated. In the US, exercise is not a frontline intervention for depression for a host of reasons that Mad in America covers, I really appreciate that work.

Theres a lot of efficacy for physical activity as a beneficial intervention for kids, and we know that kids are in school for most of the day, which would be a prime place for them to get these interventions and support their wellbeing. I became interested in how schools can serve as hubs of wellness interventions. So, after my Masters, I worked for a few years as a clinician, but then I quickly applied to PhD programs in School Psychology to engage in this line of work. Its been essential for me to link that research with clinical practice.

Greenspan: The field of School Psychology is systems focused. Rather than focusing on one client at a time, theres something impactful about developing interventions for systems. If I can provide an intervention, such as physical activity, that all kids can access, thats where the social justice lens comes in, because we want to provide equitable education and access for all students. If we can support them with physical activity to enhance their outcomes across domains, academically, behaviorally, socially, emotionally, then that is indeed providing more access for them.

An example I like to provide is that we know that physical activity can support kids with issues regulating their behaviors, right? So, if we are providing all kids in school with physical activity, before the school day and during recess, we might notice that most kids are pretty regulated or maybe a little bit more regulated than they would have been without it.

There might be some kids who need additional support, and we want to intervene effectively so that were providing those kids with extra physical activity that they need. An example with attention might be those students are getting increased movement breaks throughout the day. Maybe their other peers arent getting that, but those students really need it so they can access the curriculum, and they can feel better about themselves. Then maybe theres like a smaller subset of students that are showing more behavioral issues, and were incorporating physical activity within their individual therapy sessions. We want to ensure that all students have access to that.

Another way that I incorporate social justice within my work is a focus on supporting sexual minority and gender diverse youth. We know that LGBTQ youth are a population of students that experience increased bullying and victimization within the school setting. An aspect of my work that I focus on is LGBTQ experiences with sport and physical activity within the school setting. We know that those students are feeling underrepresented within that aspect of the school.

For example, they feel that individual sport coaches might not be as affirming of their identities, or they cant use the locker room or bathroom of their choice. If there are problems with bullying and victimization, some school staff and peers might have trouble intervening in it. With the data that Ive gleaned from engaging in focus groups and surveys with this population of resilient students, Ive been working on developing interventions and conceptual models to support or affirm practices for LGBTQ youth within the school sports sector as well.

Greenspan: Ive been fortunate to engage in a host of studies focused on LGBTQ experiences in sports and physical activity. What we found in my research is that the majority of LGBTQ students that we surveyed or engaged in focus groups feel unsafe within the physical education context in schools.

They feel that there are a lot of structural barriers, particularly a very hyper-aggressive masculine sport culture that can take over, and they feel uncomfortable and pretty oppressed in that environment. Gender segregated policies make it so they cant use the appropriate changing room, and they experience a lot of isolation and homophobic and transphobic remarks in those environments. A number of the participants in my study talked about mental health concerns such as feeling excluded, rejected, and having both low self-esteem and difficulty forming positive relationships with peers and staff in the physical education and sport environment.

Things that helped were being able to use a locker room of choice based on their gender identity, wearing a gender-affirming uniform, and the option to just not participate in certain activities that make them feel uncomfortable, such as swimming or a sport where they might have to reveal a part of themselves they dont feel comfortable with. With that data, I was able to develop a professional development program for physical education teachers that provides them with information about what these affirming practices can look like. We then provide them with follow-up consultation with a school mental health professional so they can think about ways their classroom supports these students and gives them what they need.

Greenspan: I think kids and adults alike are just trying to make meaning of this and are struggling with the adjustment to being inside, having our worlds flipped upside down, and worrying about loved ones. Its undoubtedly a nerve-wracking time.

We know having less social connection can cause feelings of isolation. As someone who works with kids, I think a lot about how that can be a risk factor for developing feelings of sadness, depressive symptoms, and increased anxiety. Thats certainly is something that I worry about because they dont have all the buffers in place to protect them against those things. Theyre not able to go outside as freely or engaging in coping skills that might distract them, like laughing with friends at recess.

Coupled with that, theyre engaging in more screen time and electronics. We know from the research that blue light admitting screen devices can disrupt sleep patterns and suppress melatonin. So then theyre getting less sleep, which also affects their mental health. It becomes a bit of a vicious cycle.

Its hard for kids to engage in planned physical activity because there are more barriers to getting outside to public parks and to using playgrounds. Also, that unplanned physical activity, the idea of just doing some chores outside or gardening, people are a little bit more nervous about that, especially when people are close together in urban areas.

Greenspan: I think that if kids start getting more physical exercise, we are going to see a greater focus on schoolwork right now. We know that schoolwork is all virtual, so I think well be able to see that gain.

I also think that we would see less irritability. For some kids that are feeling more isolated, I believe that physical activity could increase their mood. I think that it will make them feel better and also provide them with some agency over their activities.

Physical activity is something that they can choose to do at a time where theyre feeling like everything is kind of controlled for them. Thats something that they have a lot of agency and autonomy over, which we know can also protect against some of those negative feelings as well.

Greenspan: The US department of health and human services suggests that kids get about one hour of physical activity per day. In light of COVID19 quarantining, that might seem hard to do and, in some cases, not at all possible. What I would like you to do is think about feasible ways that we can engage kids in physical activity where it adds up to that 60 minutes, or close to that 60 minutes, because I think that can be done.

I work a lot with schools and think about how we can support kids in engaging in movement breaks throughout the day, and similar things can be done at home, particularly around the school schedule. If theres a break from schoolwork, maybe you can do 10 minutes of running in place or playing catch with a ball or doing crab walks around the house. Some kids might have homes with large enough ceilings where they can do jump rope.

It doesnt necessarily have to be an hour all at once, but theres a lot that kids can do embedded throughout the day. Be creative about it. There might be some kids who want to play hopscotch or jump around or run in place or do lunges. They might want to show you what theyre learning in physical education. Theres a whole lot of ways that we can provide physical activity in the home.

Additionally, since the weekdays are kind of structured like school right now, we could provide kids with a recess time. It might need to be a little bit different than what theyd have in school, but that time could also be embedded in the day.

Greenspan: This is a time where folks are consistently grappling with this adjustment, and there is so much newness and unpredictability. We know that when theres no way of telling what the future holds that it can cause a lot of anxiety. I want to normalize that.

Pretty much every person on this earth has some level of heightened anxiety about this situation. Our routines have been completely flipped upside down. When you think about kids and families, their routines are so different. Kids arent going to school; parents might be with their kids 24/7 right now.

When we look at it from a physical activity and wellness perspective, kids are most likely not engaging in as much physical activity as they were before. We know that when kids are not moving, it can impact their mental health. They might have some more difficulty focusing or may have increased irritability.

Physical activity is something that we could predictably implement into home routines to support kids. The days are so busy, so parents might also consider setting cell phone alarms for movement break time. Its also really great when parents have discussions with kids about how theyre engaging in their own physical activity.

This is a time where parents who were, at one time, gym rats and going swimming a lot and doing yoga classes are now sort of having to adjust for themselves. I think its a great lesson about how they can be flexible, no pun intended, and figure out ways that they can engage in physical activity with their kids.

Greenspan: First and foremost, its really important that educators are checking in on their students wellness, asking about their sleep, if they are able to move around, etc.

For educators who are video chatting with students, they could also provide those movement breaks, through the video chat modality and engage students in that way. I also know that some PE teachers are providing online resources for students while they might not be able to access the school gym.

One of my favorite examples is for teaching elementary kids math. Teachers just have them hop the numbers count out loud. Its a simple example of how you can infuse physical activity within the academic curriculum.

Greenspan: Absolutely. For teachers, some great resources would include the Boks Program. They provide before-school physical activity, and they have a fantastic guide for suggestions. You can take a training and become a Boks certified teacher. So that can be something great to do during this quarantine period.

Another resource thatre great for schools and families are Go Noodle, which provides movement breaks for students through music videos and dancing, and kids enjoy it. Another is Brain Breaks, which is all about engaging in movement breaks throughout the day in more of a structured way.

With that said, teachers and families can also develop their own movement break cards. So maybe they want to create a set of index cards and write different types of movements that kids can engage in, and their child can pick a card from a stack to engage in that movement of the day or the movement of the minute or the movement of the break.

We must be creative right now in how were delivering physical activity. I would also suggest using schools as resources. The physical education teachers are still working, and Im sure that theyd be glad to provide suggestions for families. Its also really important to consider what school and community resources you have available as well.

Exercise for Youth Mental Health in the Lockdown: Interview with Psychologist Scott Greenspan - James Moore

The U.S. Supreme Court in Washington is seen in this 2018 file photo. CNS photo/Tyler Orsburn

The groups filed friend-of-the court briefs in early June in Fulton v. Philadelphia, which the court will hear next term to determine if Philadelphia can exclude a Catholic social services agency from the citys foster care program because the agency does not accept same-sex couples as foster parents.

The briefs argued that the court should allow the citys Catholic social service agency to continue its foster care role and protect faith-based ministries nationwide to ensure they maintain their First Amendment religious exercise rights.

In 2018, Philadelphia stopped using the foster program of Catholic Social Services of the Philadelphia Archdiocese because of the agencys policy of not placing children with same-sex couples stressing that these unions go against church teaching on traditional marriage. A year later, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit sided with the city, calling the agencys policies discriminatory.

In its brief in support of the Philadelphia Catholic agency, the USCCB, joined by the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference, said Catholics have been involved in caring for the orphaned since the early church and in the beginnings of the church in America.

This history, and the theological basis that animates it, together make clear that providing foster care represents a core religious exercise for Catholics, it said.

The brief also said this ministry serves the common good and is often carried out in cooperation with government but that does not reduce the work to a public function picking up garbage or paving roads.

A brief by the Catholic Association Foundation, a group which defends the church and religious liberty, said severing ties with Catholic-run foster care and adoption programs, under the guise of enforcing neutral anti-discrimination laws, is the equivalent of hanging a Catholics Need Not Apply sign outside of every state and local health and human services department.

Such a precedent is odious to the Constitutions guarantees of free speech and the free exercise of religion. Such a precedent should not stand, it said.

Other Catholic Charities agencies similarly weighed in, including Illinois agencies, which stressed that when Illinois similarly canceled participation in the states foster care program after more than 40 years of involvement, it harmed Illinois children contrary to its duty to act in their best interest.

The lesson should be clear: The court should respect and accommodate the free religious exercise of faith-based agencies because to do so does not conflict with the interest of same-sex couples to become foster parents and, on the other hand, is necessary to prevent harm to children in need of high quality foster care, the agencies aid.

They also pointed out that the court can support each of these values without sacrificing any of them and that to do anything else would be to encourage more initiatives to force faith-based providers of critically needed services for vulnerable children to abandon their religious practices in order to gain the states permission to continue to provide such care.

In 2011, the Catholic bishops in Illinois announced they were dropping their lawsuit against the state for requiring Catholic Charities agencies to provide their services to same-sex couples. The agencies also ended their adoption and foster care programs.

At issue was the agencies long-standing practice of referring prospective adoptive and foster parents who are cohabiting regardless of sexual orientation to other agencies or to the Department of Children and Family Services. The state interpreted the policy as discriminatory to same-sex couples under the new Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Union Act, and a Sangamon County Circuit Court judge ruled Sept. 26 the state could begin canceling its foster care and adoption contracts with Catholic Charities.

In other briefs filed in support of the Catholic agency in Philadelphia, 13 states asked the court to protect the partnership of government and religious ministries, and a group of three states stressed the long-standing, historical dependence on religious foster ministries by state and local governments.

A group of 76 members of Congress asked the Supreme Court to protect faith-based agencies and stop Philadelphias attempt to quash child welfare providers that have different religious beliefs than those the government prefers.

A coalition of minority religious groups, including the United Sikhs, the Bruderhof Communities and the Islam and Religious Freedom Action Team, also urged the court to protect religious exercise saying the outcome of this case will affect other actions based on religious beliefs.

Becket, a religious liberty law firm, is representing the foster women defending the Catholic Social Services policy. The case takes its name from Sharonell Fulton, a foster parent who joined in the lawsuit against the city along with another foster parent, Toni Simms-Busch.

The San Francisco Bay Area Planning and Urban Research Association, with an assist from Streetsblog, has developed a chart of which Bay Area cities have slow streets programs.

Started by Oakland in early April, the idea of slow streets was to identify streets where thru traffic would be banned, limiting speeds so people could use the pavement for exercise during the time of COVID. Cities have generally approached these programs with a fluid, see-what-works approach, such as San Francisco, which dropped Holloway ostensibly because of emergency response time concerns. And Oakland updated its program to include essential placesslowing traffic on streets near stores and other essential services to help people stay socially distanced as they get supplies.

The Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalitions Emma Shlaes told Streetsblog that San Carlos and South San Francisco are considering programs too but havent approved anything yet.

We believe it is important to elevate the discussion surrounding what does and does not work about slow streets programsprimarily, who benefits from them and who does not. We applaud the City of Oakland for their leadership in establishing an expansive slow streets program and in listening, adapting, and implementing more and better policies to meet the diverse needs and wishes of their residents. We urge the rest of the Bay Area to follow their example, wrote SPUR, in a comment about the chart.

The programs have been moderately to very successfulso much so that the concept has spread throughout the country. Even New York, which originally resisted the idea, now has an ambitious slow streets program. The key seems to be maintaining flexibility and responsiveness to the needs of different communities, as Oakland did (as referenced by SPUR) with its essential places modification at the request of residents in East Oakland.

If any city is missing, or this list needs updated, please let us know in the comments section below. And share your thoughts on how well slow streets programs are working in different cities and neighborhoods.

On a related note, Google Maps has started to include slow streets, as seen below:

More and more cancer patients are increasingly likely to survive, thanks to earlier detection programs, better treatments and improved care. The latest Cancer Australia figures show 69 per cent of Australians diagnosed with cancer survived[i]. But sadly, many are not thriving in their post-cancer lives, and this is a common challenge for both patients and their insurers.

Up to 40 per cent of cancer survivors do not return to work because of fear of recurrence, depression, anxiety and cancer-related fatigue[ii]. The onset of COVID-19 is deepening this problem as patients deal with social isolation and the anxiety of knowing they are at higher risk than the general population.

CancerAid Coach Program is a powerful tool that is helping cancer patients do the things that are evidence based to help them return to an active and satisfying life after their ordeal.

Research has shown that patients who are engaged with their own healthcare through activities like logging symptoms, doing exercise and undergoing appropriate rehabilitation have better health outcomes.

CancerAid co-founder and radiation oncology specialist, Dr Raghav Murali-Ganesh, says health coaching has delivered positive impacts to patients living with chronic diseases, particularly for those with cardio-metabolic diseases like diabetes and obesity. The CancerAid Coaching Program is applying a similar approach to cancer patients.

As cancer outcomes improve and increase survival rates, so too does the concept of cancer as a chronic disease and thus behavioural change becomes important, Murali-Ganesh says. Often patients may not know the evidence behind which particular activities may be meaningful, from a scientific literature perspective. The goal of the CancerAid program is to empower patients to be more active participants in their own health, in particular on clinically meaningful activities.

CancerAid began purely as an app that directed patients towards activities that best help them recover. But behavioural change is difficult to bring about, and only a very small proportion maintained sustained use in the longer term.

In response, the team introduced a human touch, which proved to be the missing link to drive up engagement. Dedicated health coaches who are trained allied health professionals, nurses and doctors help patients through a digital curriculum that empowers them to return to healthier lives, including return to work, to regain a sense of normalcy.

Upon enrolment and receiving their first phone call from their health coach, there is a 93 per cent program engagement rate from patients.

Cancer patients are in a particularly vulnerable situation and so we find that the addition of a human touch, rather than technology alone, is critical for providing an appropriate level of empathetic support for these patients, Murali-Ganesh says.

We have seen a significant increase in patient engagement since the introduction of the coaching component and we have also demonstrated improved clinical outcomes, including shortening the time to return to work.

Doing what matters most

The program provides both structure and encouragement for cancer patients to do the things that are most likely to assist their recovery.

Maintaining an active involvement in daily life, minimising disruption to life roles, managing feelings of hopelessness and regulating the normal emotional reactions to illness are helpful strategies in reducing the risk of developing a mental illness, and the program educates customers about this.

An interactive app helps patients track their symptoms, exercise, diet, sleep and mental wellbeing. Crucially, the app also provides a community with articles and stories that motivate patients and help reduce their feeling of isolation. This is particularly relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The newly coined term, pandemic-related anxiety, is seen in patients who are vulnerable to the effects of COVID-19 but who also need additional support, Murali-Ganesh says. We have incorporated an additional module to alleviate these stressors and have delivered cancer-specific COVID-19 information to 10,000 individuals over the last few weeks.

After feedback from users that they wished they had begun the program earlier, the program has become an integral part of insurer AIAs focus on early intervention, where treatment for a condition begins at the beginning of a claims process, ultimately improving the rate of positive claims outcomes.

The earlier we provide support to our customers, the better their health outcomes will be, says Simonie Fox, AIAs National Wellbeing Manager.

Early intervention, better recovery

AIAs cancer recovery programs include its CaRe Movement program of exercise physiology during treatment, and RESTORE CaRe which is a wellness program for customers with cancer. AIA has health coaching programs for its three most commonly claimed conditionscancer, mental health and chronic pain. These conditions account for 83 per cent of its total claims.

CancerAid Coach is introduced to customers as soon as AIA receives a claim for cancer-related conditions, typically over the phone in the first weeks after lodgment.

While some of AIAs customers with cancer are terminal and will not have the opportunity to engage in occupational rehabilitation, 25 per cent of all CancerAid participants progressed to further occupational rehabilitation programs, leading to an 82 per cent return-to-work rate.

More people are surviving cancer than ever before, and we wanted to provide early intervention support to our customers facing a cancer diagnosis, says Fox, pointing to the fact approximately 40 per cent of working age Australians who recover from cancer wont return to work.

These people are surviving their cancer diagnosis, but they are not thriving. AIA is determined to make a difference in these customers lives by providing them with support as early as possible so that they are less likely to have ongoing psychological symptoms.

As a result of COVID-19, AIA is also piloting a self-enrolment text service for customers so they have access to CancerAid Coach as soon as possible as it has additional benefits for them during the pandemic.

The program is particularly helpful now with COVID-19, Fox says. Customers are more anxious than they would normally be as they are at higher risk for COVID-19. The CancerAid Coach calls are around 30 per cent longer as a result of the pandemic. AIA is so grateful to have a practical way to support these very vulnerable customers.

Fox points out that the CancerAid Coach program is offered to customers before their claim is even assessed.

We share with the customer that AIA does not have access to any of the data that they input into the app, such as the tracking of their symptoms, so that they can feel more confident to engage in the program, Fox says.

Complementing the health system

Not all of AIAs customers choose to take up the program; many receive comprehensive treatment and support at hospitals, above and beyond treating the disease alone.

But with the majority of cancer patients spending most of their time away from their clinical care team, CancerAid Coach complements the health care system by helping patients be more involved in their recovery.

Murali-Ganesh says the traditional healthcare model isnt always effective at supporting health behaviour changeparticularly in an era of chronic diseasesas well as the social and community needs of cancer patients and their intrinsic role in mental health and recovery.

This is where we see the greatest unmet need for the CancerAid Coach Program, Murali-Ganesh says. It is our goal to improve the communication between the patient and their clinical care team by empowering patients to step into their own care and be more of a partner in their care.

For a little more than one year, Brig. Gen. Rob Collins served as the program executive officer for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors (IEW&S), where he was responsible for ensuring the soldier can detect, recognize and identify the enemy.

Collins vast portfolio included airborne and terrestrial sensors, position, navigation and timing devices, biometric solutions, and the TITAN ground station program, which will take data from aerial, terrestrial and space sensors to distribute essential data to shooters.

The officer has a long career working in this arena: he previously served as project manager for the Armys Distributed Common Ground System and before that as product manager for the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) Increments 2 and 3.

On June 1, Collins officially took over as the new head of the Armys Program Executive Office Command, Control and Communications (Tactical) where he will oversee the Armys network modernization efforts and work with the network cross functional team at Army Futures Command.

In May, during his final days at PEO IEW&S, Collins talked to C4ISRNETs Nathan Strout about his approach to acquisitions, how the Army fits into Joint All Domain Command and Control, and the legacy hell leave at the program office.

This interview has been edited for clarity and length.

C4ISRNET: How has your office helped the Department of Defenses shape its approach to Joint All Domain Command and Control?

COLLINS: Enhancing deep sense and linking sensor to shooter is fundamental to our Army multi-domain operations concept, and really, the future of large-scale ground combat operations. And specifically for our PEO, weve been active partners in JADC2 efforts, working closely with our network (cross functional team) and our PEO C3T partners and the Assured Position Navigation and Timing cross functional-team in particular and the ISR task force at large, which is led by the G2.

Were working on integrated architectures, multi-functional sensors that are integrated within the network for both [data] transport and mission command, and really solutions that are tailored to meet the unique requirements of our Army ground force. And when I say that, [I meant that they are] really at scale and they can meet the mobility requirements of our ground force. We operate at a scale and at an expeditionary mobile fashion which makes the Army a little bit unique. Ill tell you the collaborations that weve embarked upon with the [program officers] really assisted in some common design principles and components to assist in interoperability and really enabling sensor to shooter.

Most recently within the PEO, we really helped the Army with some deep sensing ground stations TITAN circuits if you will that participated in some sensor to shooter threads in a training exercise [outside the continental United States]. So that really informed our approach. Across the PEO moving forward weve identified a lot of collaborative areas for experimentation demonstrations, tech maturity and really focused in on sensor integration and really data how do we share data best across the battlefield?

C4ISRNET: From the outside, it seems like TITAN will be an essential piece to the entire JADC2 concept, especially for the Army. How are you approaching redundancy and survivability to that system?

COLLINS: TITAN is certainly a significant focus area in the modernization effort. Its a key component for our deep sense capability and really being scalable and expeditionary as an intelligence ground station and supporting commanders across the multi-domain operations battlefield framework. And were really looking at TITAN to be kind of a LEGO approach that can be tailored based on the echelon it supports.

And yes, one of the tenets is that its going to leverage a multi-layered approach, a robust set of nodes from space, from high-altitude aerial to terrestrial sensors and assist with target nominations and link fires, command and control, informed by all the multi-disciplines of intelligence. And really as it connects all these various feeds, hundreds of thousands of intelligence feeds, its going to employ artificial intelligence and machine learning to rapidly synthesize that information into meaningful info at the speed of battle sometimes what we say is time can almost become a weapon in and by itself.

Part of the analysis is taking a look at primary and alternate communications, what we call PACE, as part of the design, and Ill tell you TITAN is going to consist of a number of assured communications capabilities designed in the PACE plan, from Beyond Line-of-Sight communications, common tactical network components, direct downlinks, software-defined radios, and other IT and non-IP options that really span the gambit of the security domain. So we understand the criticality of PACE and its one of these that well work closely with our network and APNT CFT partners as we continue to refine and define the concept.

C4ISRNET: Speaking more broadly, a key function of JADC2 is being able to network with the other services and pull in their information to your shooters. When you look to the other services, what are the platforms, networks, or developments that youre excited to see feed into TITAN and other Army systems?

COLLINS: Were always looking for opportunities to leverage national and other mission partner information, and that can span a number of sense capabilities, certainly within space. We certainly watch all things that are going on within low Earth orbit, capabilities that will provide a lot of opportunity. Across the joint force there are a number of areas certainly within the Air Force that have the ability to do deep sense with aerial platforms at altitude, so we watch that closely. And I would just tell you, even in the commercial arena even as far as the geospatial information there is a lot of collect capability.

TITAN is really adopting an open systems architecture kind of baked in from the beginning [where it can take data from multiple sources], whether its a [science and technology] effort which could come from the Army or another agency for intelligence warning capability or detect/assess/decide-type capability, or if its leveraging a mission or national partner capability as I mentioned for deep sense, or really even adopting a commercial capability like geospatial collect or adopting a high performance data platform.

C4ISRNET: Leaders at the Space Development Agency frequently note that the Army is the biggest customers for data collected from space. Can you speak a little bit about how youre looking at their architecture and tying into their transport layer?

COLLINS: At least on the ISR side, we work closely with many of our partners as we look at opportunities to be able to leverage investments that theyre making into the space sense capability, and certainly some of the things we have to be conscious of are the responsiveness to our tactical command. If they have intelligence requirements [we need to be able] to provide those back so we can get the persistent stare or the on demand access that we need for the tactical war fight.

We certainly are also aware as we push that information down, some of the impacts that it may have on the Army networks that often operate on disconnected, intermittent, limited bandwidth environments, so to the extent that we can do processing as far forward at the point of collect and sense so we can only distribute the information thats absolutely necessary, were working those concepts to do that. And thats where the artificial intelligence and machine learning comes into play.

C4ISRNET: How have acquisitions changed over the last few years? From the outside weve seen a lot more usage of Other Transaction Authorities across the Department. What is your thinking on OTAs and other acquisition vehicles?

COLLINS: We have really adapted our acquisitions now more than ever using more agile and more tailored acquisition approaches. Each endeavor, each capability that we go to pursue, often has a unique set of circumstances such as the technology maturity, the types of requirements, the types of things that we need to integrateeven our intellectual property approaches. Now more than ever, weve got multiple pathways on the acquisition approach that we can pursue: tailoring traditional, pursuing mid-tier, theres now software pathways, and theres always quick reaction and engineering change proposals to existing programs.

So theres a number of different approaches, and I would tell you, too, our ability to involve soldiers in the operational feedback and operational perspective in the process is also kind of new and something that weve really underscored as part of the process. That starts not only from the requirements process, but how we include them in our source selection to assessing soldiers hands-on kit and providing that feedback.

OTA is just another tool that we have at our disposal. Certainly, if we need to do a little bit more maturation of prototypes prior to finalizing requirements, the OTA does offer an opportunity to more quickly pursue those prototypes in advance of transitioning into a more traditional FAR-type approach. I think theres a lot of flexibility and were starting to do our critical thinking to decide how we approach each acquisition, because each acquisition and capability is unique.

Ill tell you the other thing that were really doing too iswhere appropriateexercising a DevOps or DevSecOps type of approach, and really thats where you bring material developer, combat developer, user, interoperability certifier, tester, and even to the extent the accrediter for those approaches, and theyre all collectively together so you do things in parallel and you can dramatically speed up the process.

Those are a number of things that we are really using at our disposal to move both more rapidly but also more efficiently and effectively.

C4ISRNET: How do you incorporate smaller, nontraditional vendors that can bring in solutions? How do you bring more people into the fold, especially in tech hubs like Silicon Valley?

COLLINS: Weve got a lot of footprints in a lot of these technical hubs ... I would tell you that weve also done a tremendous amount of industry outreach even within the portfolio. I think in my tenure, in about a year Ive probably done close to almost 200 industry engagements, and that spans from small, medium and large. And were continuously trying to encourage and build relationships beyond just the traditionals. It is probably one of the advantages of the OTA that weve got, to be able to attract non-traditionals. I think theres other opportunities that weve got within Small Business Innovative Research-type initiatives that weve pursued, and then also CRADAs, the Cooperative Research and Development (Agreements). So we kind of span the gamut of that and Ill tell you weve got a pretty healthy teaming relationship between us and the [cross functional teams] to be able to get out there and attract that type of non-traditionals that really have a lot of the innovative and forward thinking ideas that we want to bring into our Army.

C4ISRNET: We know a lot of the programs at places like PEO IEW&S take years to develop, with multiple PEOs overseeing and influencing different platforms. As you finish out your tenure, what are the milestones, programs youre proud of?

COLLINS: First and foremost, Ill depart extremely proud of the people and the mission that the PEO IEW&S portfolio has accomplished and continues to accomplish. Ill tell you one of the unique things about our portfolio is about 50 percent of our programs support overseas operations, and so we do a significant amount of investment of things that are going on abroad. Much of our Army is deployed and so for that Im extremely proud.

Ill tell you the other thing I think we have established a healthy culture that is ready, that is resilient and adaptive to change. And I think that has certainly been one thing that Ill be proud of, that I think will be a lasting legacy within the organization. We kind of walked in focused on a couple basic attributes. First and foremost, people and leadership was one. Two, exercising acquisition discipline. Three, integrating our kits so it can collectively operate and inform on the battlefield. And then four, really working with our partners and stakeholders. I think in each one of those areas weve made tremendous progress and really established a lot of momentum.

Some of the major programmatics moving forward ... the Terrestrial Layer System, I think weve made some good progress there. Missile Defense and Space Systems set the conditions for our future aerial deep sense capability and really tightened kind of the major deep collect and nesting in with a lot of collecting in space and with our national mission partners. And then all of that data coming down to the foundational component are probably some of the big areas where weve established a lot of positive, irreversible momentum that will allow us to move forward on our Army modernization front.

C4ISRNET: And as you move over to PEO C3T, what are you excited to tackle there and what lessons will you bring with you from PEO IEW&S?

COLLINS: Well, I must admit that I am a signal officer and so I am excited to return to my roots as a network professional. And so I do find very much the network (to be) an exciting endeavor, and so Im looking forward to getting back and contributing with the team.

And I think what I would certainly take with me is that ... I have a better appreciation of the types of information, the types of data, the types of intelligence ... that need to traverse our networks, the type of demands that it puts on the network, the types of speed of service and quality of service and performance that are required to support those users of the network.

So I think thats one of the key things that Ill take with me as I get ready to move over and be part of the C3T team, which Im very excited (about). Ive been very thankful for the experience here at the IEW&S team a phenomenal group of professionals and Im excited to continue my Army mission.
