ATLANTA, GA, January 11, 2011 (Press-News.org) SoloHealth (www.solohealth.com), a recognized leader in self-directed health care, announced today that Rick Voight, former National Sales Manager of Retail Publishing at Hewlett-Packard, has joined the company.
Rick will be responsible for market penetration and distribution of the company's SoloHealth Station, an innovative new solution that allows consumers in high-traffic retail environments to test their vision, blood pressure, and body mass, obtain health and wellness information, and store a history of their results that can be accessed at the consumer's convenience. This health and wellness ecosystem, a 'front porch' to health care, allows retailers, manufacturers, doctors, insurance companies and others to reach customers in a highly personal and targeted manner. Rick brings 25 years of experience in delivering technology solutions to retailers and alternative channel partners.
Rick played an integral role in the creation and growth of the Retail Publishing division at Hewlett-Packard, which has achieved chain-wide equipment and internet connected deployments at HEB, Meijer, Duane Reade, and WalMart, representing approximately 5,000 stores and 15,000 kiosks throughout North America.
Prior to HP, Rick spent 18 years at Kodak in various sales, marketing, and new business creation positions, with responsibilities that included packaged goods, services, kiosks, and other capital equipment. During this time, he forged exclusive agreements with Publix, Circuit City, Kinko's, Amazon.com, and United Western Grocers. He also negotiated and coordinated a $1 billion contract with CVS pharmacy, which included placement of kiosks in more than 3,000 stores in four months, the largest-ever photo kiosk roll-out at the time.
"We're thrilled to add a highly experienced and talented executive like Rick to the SoloHealth team," says SoloHealth founder and CEO Bart Foster. "His leadership in self-service technology and retail deployments will add tremendous value to SoloHealth and our customers during this very exciting and important time for the company."
Rick received a BS in Finance from Rochester Institute of Technology and an MBA from University of South Florida with Beta Gamma Sigma and Phi Kappa Phi recognition.
SoloHealth, with Headquarters in Duluth, GA, is a technology company that develops and deploys interactive health screening kiosks in an effort to empower consumers to be proactive about their health. The company's kiosks provide free health screenings and recommendations for follow-up care, which leads to prevention and lower health care costs. For more information, visit www.solohealth.com.

Mayo researchers describe measles viral protein movement
2011-01-10
ROCHESTER, Minn. -- Mayo Clinic researchers have shown that proteins on the surface of a cell twist a viral protein into position, allowing the virus to start infection and cause disease, all in a movement as graceful as a ballroom dance. The findings appear in the current online issue of Nature Structural & Molecular Biology.
A team led by Roberto Cattaneo, Ph.D., a Mayo molecular biologist, describes the crucial initial steps taken by attachment proteins of the measles virus and related respiratory viruses with their cellular partners, the receptors. To get there, the ...
Surprise: Dwarf galaxy harbors supermassive black hole
2011-01-10
The surprising discovery of a supermassive black hole in a small nearby galaxy has given astronomers a tantalizing look at how black holes and galaxies may have grown in the early history of the Universe. Finding a black hole a million times more massive than the Sun in a star-forming dwarf galaxy is a strong indication that supermassive black holes formed before the buildup of galaxies, the astronomers said.
The galaxy, called Henize 2-10, 30 million light-years from Earth, has been studied for years, and is forming stars very rapidly. Irregularly shaped and about 3,000 ...
Ginger is key ingredient in recipe for conserving stag beetles
2011-01-10
The humble ginger root could be the key to conserving the UK's largest and most spectacular terrestrial beetle – the stag beetle. Ecologists from Royal Holloway, University of London and the University of York have developed a series of new methods to monitor stag beetle numbers – including ginger lures to trap adult beetles and tiny microphones to detect sounds made by the larvae in their underground nests. Conservation efforts have been hampered until now because ecologists lacked a reliable way of monitoring stag beetle numbers.
The new research, published in the Royal ...
Climate change to continue to year 3000 in best case scenarios
2011-01-10
New research indicates the impact of rising CO2 levels in the Earth's atmosphere will cause unstoppable effects to the climate for at least the next 1000 years, causing researchers to estimate a collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet by the year 3000, and an eventual rise in the global sea level of at least four metres.
The study, to be published in the Jan. 9 Advanced Online Publication of the journal Nature Geoscience, is the first full climate model simulation to make predictions out to 1000 years from now. It is based on best-case, 'zero-emissions' scenarios constructed ...
