American Cannabis Partners (“ACP”) is a multi-state cannabis company with 560,000 square feet of licensed canopy space for cultivation and one retail license. The company is nationally headquartered in Trinity County of Northern California’s Emerald Triangle. ACP is focused on three complementary business segments: real estate, acquisition & development of proprietary assets, and ongoing cultivation operations. Led by a seasoned management team with 30+ years of canna-business experience, ACP’s strategy is to capture opportunities in real estate and licensing in states that have recently passed cannabis legalization legislation, thereby equipping the company to capitalize on Federal interstate commerce opportunities. Through its current cultivation operations, ACP supplies approximately 80% of its whole flower products for manufacturing, distribution and retail licenses. With the remaining 20%, the company supplies its proprietary strains to select California distributors and its own Michigan retail location under its exclusive in-house brand, ZÜK. History of American Cannabis Partners In 2014, Stephen Jordan, President of ACP, took on the Director of Operations position for a U.S.-based company operating in the Jamaican cannabis space. Over the course of his three-year tenure in this role, Jordan developed a number of relationships that would help serve as the basis of American Cannabis Partners. One such relationship was with Junior Gordon, a cultivation lead grower from Jamaica’s Westmoreland Parish. Jordan immediately saw the value of Gordon’s unique skillset and credentials, and Gordon recognized Jordan’s heartfelt vision of bringing Jamaican culture to the rapidly developing U.S. cannabis space. Guided by that mission, ACP’s unchanging goal is to improve the lives of individuals through cannabis and business. Current Operations Since its founding in 2018, privately-owned American Cannabis Partners has established a foothold in two key U.S. cannabis markets – California and Michigan. In total, the company has acquired 12 cannabis licenses, including 20,000 sq. ft. of cultivation licenses in California and 540,000 sq. ft. of cultivation licenses & one retail license in Michigan. ACP’s IP portfolio features three proprietary strains sold exclusively through the company’s wholly owned ZÜK brand, as well as proprietary data collection and mining systems supporting its cultivation and retail operations. Plans for Expansion American Cannabis Partners is pursuing additional growth in the cannabis sector through multiple planned initiatives. These include:
  • Submitting applications for additional cultivation licenses at the company’s Trinity County, California, location;
  • Planning land acquisition and project development strategies for expanding operations to its third U.S. state beginning in the second quarter of 2022; and
  • Planning land acquisition and project development strategies for expanding operations to its fourth U.S. state beginning in the second quarter of 2024.
ACP is currently exploring expansion opportunities through partnerships and joint ventures in New Jersey, New York, Virginia, Nevada, Arizona, Missouri and Massachusetts. Management Team Stephen Jordan is the President of American Cannabis Partners. He is focused on the first and last steps of legal cannabis – cultivation and retail. To date, Mr. Jordan has provided the company with ownership of 12 licenses, three proprietary cannabis strains and multiple real estate assets. His background in cannabis operations and financial strategies has guided American Cannabis Partners’ efforts to produce consistently high-quality product for both the medical and recreational segments. Mr. Jordan has operated under cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, medical research (Univ. of West Indies), retail and exportation licenses in multiple countries, further strengthening his network within the cannabis industry. Gary Coltek is the company’s Director of Operations. He has credentials based in the culinary, hospitality and sustainability industries spanning over 40 years, including taking three companies public. Mr. Coltek has held management positions internationally with Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons, Trump Hospitality, Phymatrix and International Oncology Network. For 17 years, he was the founding member and partner of a private boutique consulting firm. He is currently a guest speaker and visiting professor at universities in Israel, China, Italy, the Netherlands and Peru, covering topics that include culinary sustainability, sustainable cannabis farming, organic sustainable farming and cannabis clinical studies.

His clients rely on him to advise them with respect to their complex financial transactions and provide outside general counsel.

His experience includes serving as lead counsel for numerous mergers & acquisitions, private equity investments, private offerings, venture capital financings, mezzanine debt offerings, divestures and other related transactions, with an emphasis in the legalized marijuana segment. Jacob Frenkel is the company’s Lead Compliance Counsel. He is the current Chair of Dickinson Wright’s Government Investigations and Securities Enforcement Practice. Mr. Frenkel’s solutions-minded approach to issues has earned him a reputation as an aggressive, tenacious, creative and proactive defense lawyer and litigator. After 14 years as a Senior Counsel in the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, U.S. federal criminal prosecutor and New Orleans Assistant District Attorney, Mr. Frenkel has practiced in the private sector for 20 years. His unique mix of corporate transactional, litigation and investigations defense clients extend well beyond the cannabis industry and cover a wide range of industries worldwide. Junior Gordon is the Director of Cultivation for American Cannabis Partners.

His skills span both controlled indoor and large volume outdoor harvest programs, giving him proficiency in nursery, propagation and indoor & outdoor grow strategies.

BAND Royalty Offers Eight Levels of NFT Rarity Ranging from 1 ETH to 25 ETH Across Three Staking Pools, Plus Tokens

  • BAND Royalty is the first to create a Music Only NFT Marketplace and the first to offer NFTs and DeFi opportunities based on music royalties
  • Each NFT rarity offers a different level of staking in the Band Royalty Pools, ranging from one pool to all three, plus tokens
  • NFTs must be staked a minimum of 90 days and a maximum of five years – early termination results in forfeiture of earnings
With non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) taking various industries and markets by storm, entertainment fintech firm BAND Royalty is staking its claim as a music industry disruptor by being the first company to use NFTs based on music royalties and the creator of the first-ever Music Only NFT Marketplace. Using a new type of art NFT that is also a music NFT DeFi opportunity, the company aims to revolutionize the way fans connect with celebrities and performers own their brands by enabling users to share in royalties whenever their favorite songs are performed. BAND has already released a first series of NFTs consisting of 3,000 distinct art pieces, using 15 curated images celebrating the music industry’s diversity of people and genres with a DeFi utility divided into eight different rarity levels, from Vinyl NFTs to Double Diamond NFTs. These eight levels are representative of a select quantity and pricing based on the rarity. Each of these levels will also have one of more specific royalty pools for staking. The current offering of NFTs begins at 1 ETH.
  • Vinyl Album NFT (#1501-3000)
  • Qty: 1500
  • ETH: 1
  • Royalty Pool: Pick one BAND Royalty Pool
  • Vinyl Gold Album NFT (#751-1500)
    • Qty: 750
    • ETH: 3
    • Royalty Pool: Pick two BAND Royalty Pools
  • Gold Album NFT (#251-750)
    • Qty: 500
    • ETH: 5
    • Royalty Pool: Pick two BAND Royalty Pools
  • Gold Platinum Album NFT (#26-250)
    • Qty: 225
    • ETH: 7.5
    • Royalty Pool: All three Band Royalty Pools
  • Platinum Album NFT (#4-25)

  • PRESOLD Double Diamond Album NFT (#1)
    • Qty: 1
    • ETH: 25
    • Royalty Pool: All three Band Royalty Pools + Tokens
The three BAND Royalty pools include publishing, mechanical/public performance, and synchronization. Owning a BAND NFT does not allows stakers access or ownership to the company’s top-tier music artist royalty pools. These are reserved for those who stake their BAND NFTs. Staking does not equal ownership; it only provides access to income from the various royalty streams. Each of the BAND NFTs must be staked for a minimum of 90 days to a maximum of five years. Those who stake their NFTs longer get proportionally increased amounts of the royalty shares. Each of the NFTs is locked during the staking period. Any earned income is calculated and held in reserve, awaiting completion of the staking period for payout. Terminating the staking of the NFT before the allotted time will result in a forfeit of earnings, which will be dispersed to other stakers. There are four ways that BAND NFT stakers can earn: 1) 50% from all BAND Royalty music catalog revenue, 2) 50% of any auctions of single BAND music tracks sold, 3) 5% on BAND NFTs traded on company’s platform, and 4) 5% from re-selling music royalties on the BAND platform. The BAND Royalty performance music catalog features tracks from some of the biggest names in music, including Jay-Z, Beyonce, Missy Elliot, Cher, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, and more. The company intends to release up to 12,000 unique tokens across four series in the near future The funds generated will be used to expand BAND’s royalty library.

Nextech AR Solutions Corp. (CSE: NTAR) (OTCQB: NEXCF) Partners with Microsoft Azure to Transform Remote Teaching and Learning through Launch of EdTechX

  • Nextech recently launched EdTechX, a higher education solution built on Microsoft Azure and available on its LiveX platform
  • EdTechX, which several higher education institutions have already implemented in their daily operating businesses, offers enterprise-scale video streaming, integrated assessments, AR holograms, and data analytics
  • It makes learning and teaching interactive and engaging, thereby solving many issues that used to be associated with remote teaching in yesteryears
Nextech AR Solutions (CSE: NTAR) (OTCQB: NEXCF) recently launched EdTechX, a global higher education solution built on Microsoft Azure and available on its LiveX Digital Experience Platform (“DXP”). EdTechX, which has already been successfully implemented by higher education institutions such as Black Student Fund, Ryerson University, and Carnegie Mellon University, enables these and other education institutions to move with the times by transforming traditional learning and event formats into valuable digital experiences (https://ibn.fm/C5OOU). The education platform combines enterprise-scale video streaming, integrated assessments, AR holograms, and data analytics. Further, as it is built on Microsoft’s cloud-computing service, Azure, EdTechX is highly scalable, reliable, and secure – these characteristics have endeared Azure to users worldwide, making it a trusted platform used by governments, education institutions, and private companies. Nextech’s higher education solution offers the following features: virtual learning labs, convocations, career fairs, and poster sessions, which are designed to increase engagement through digitization as well as create an interactive learning experience without the need to physically attend class or lab sessions. A video demo available on Nextech’s website showcasing the augmented learning experience available to Ryerson University’s students (https://ibn.fm/S9cwP) demonstrates how AR holograms bring the laboratory into student’s homes by enabling them to virtually mix reagents in virtual Petri dishes and even use virtual disposable pipets. Nextech describes this learning experience as: “The classroom experience without the classroom.” EdTechX’s interactivity and engagement-inducing capabilities eliminate many of the issues associated with virtual learning. A 2019 article observed that while instructors were increasingly seizing opportunities to teach from locations other than the classroom if their institutions allowed them to, they greatly struggled to reproduce the sort of engagement with their students that the class environment accorded them. At the same time, some instructors expressed their reservations about the effectiveness of virtual learning (https://ibn.fm/LzNsW). The pandemic, however, forced the migration to remote teaching, meaning even those who previously had doubts would have to embrace the new pedagogical format. In a March 2020 Harvard Business Review (“HBR”) article (https://ibn.fm/YYaho), authors Vijay Govindarajan and Anup Srivastava wondered if remote teaching will prove to be a success and, if it does, how the world will know. While exploring the virtual learning topic from the perspective of the improvements required in IT infrastructure to make it more suitable for online education, Vijay and Anup discussed cloud, artificial intelligence (“AI”), and mobile as vital digital technologies that will ensure scalability. They also highlighted the shortcomings of software for conference calls, which cannot provide a personalized experience nor handle large class sizes. Notably, EdTechX solves the problems highlighted in the foregoing articles, incorporates a few discussion points (such as cloud computing), and even offers additional benefits and capabilities. It indeed transforms teaching and learning, as Nancy Teodoro, Education Partner Lead at Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Canada, noted: “Nextech AR Solutions is helping education institutions digitally transform the way educators teach and the way students learn, by enabling remote experiential learning through EdTechX. Studies have shown that these types of immersive technologies improve student engagement and student outcomes.” With several education institutions having already implemented EdTechX in their daily operating businesses, it is only a matter of time before others get on board. Ultimately, coupled with the features available on the platform, this may well eliminate the uncertainties Vijay, Anup, and some instructors had regarding the success of remote teaching and learning.

Pac Roots Cannabis Corp.’s (CSE: PACR) (OTCQB: PACRF) (FSE: 4XM) Lords of Grasstown Partnership Fuses Cannabis and Motorcycle Culture to Grow Loyal Customer Base

  • PACR synergizes first-in-class cannabis cultivation with branding power through Lords of Grasstown acquisition
  • Grasstown brand inspired by Pacific Northwest motorcycle culture, features high-quality street apparel, cannabis-based lifestyle products
  • Partnership with plant breeding firm Phenome One gives PACR access to world’s most exclusive cannabis plants from Canada’s most comprehensive genetics library of over 350 cultivars
Pac Roots Cannabis (CSE: PACR) (OTCQB: PACRF) (FSE: 4XM), a Canada-based cannabis company, leverages a genetics-focused approach to cultivation that produces the highest-quality strains available on the global market. With its recent acquisition of the iconic Lords of Grasstown (Grasstown) brand (https://ibn.fm/gBQEz), the company leverages the power of branding to gain a powerful competitive advantage in the growing cannabis industry. Grasstown is an offshoot cannabis culture brand launched by Tyler Hazelwood, creator of Lords of Gastown (Lords) – an apparel and accessories brand inspired by the motorcycle culture of the Pacific Northwest. Founded in 2011, Lords was born in Vancouver’s gritty East side, quickly growing a loyal following of motorcycle enthusiasts before catching the attention of Brian Barnes of Barnes Harley-Davidson Canada. Through Barnes Harley-Davidson, Lords developed wholesale partnerships throughout North America, including some of the most respected motorcycle brands such as Simpson, Bell, BMC, TBR, Heatwave & Espinoza’s Leather. Grasstown was launched as a passion project by Hazelwood in 2013 and, like the Lords brand, was founded with a focus on “form over function” with a line of high-quality street apparel and cannabis-based lifestyle products. The brand grew a cult-like following from its partnership with BC-based cannabis genetics guru JB, and local appearances that included Vancouver’s 420 and the Meet & Greet Granville Street Smoke Out events. “PacRoots is thrilled to partner with such an incredible brand and story driven by artists with a passionate vision that resonates throughout a massive community,” said PacRoots President and CEO Patrick Elliot (https://ibn.fm/XJe9V). “The creators, designers and marketers behind Lords of Grasstown have a truly unique and talented offering that will be invaluable to the PacRoots organization. The Grasstown culture compliments PacRoots’ foundation of variety and quality built on the West coast. This platform brings a tremendous following that embraces these attributes which are well positioned to excel in BC and California’s West coast marketplaces.” PACR plans to synergize its branding strategy with genetics-focus cultivation practices to create world-class cannabis products that provide users with an enhanced experience. The company’s partnership with Phenome One, a plant breeding management and analytics firm, gives it access to some of the world’s most exclusive cannabis plants from Canada’s most comprehensive genetics library of over 350 cultivars that have been rigorously tested over the last 30 years. Along with allowing the company to develop exclusive strains, its genetics-focused approach allows it to develop plants with an optimized cannabinoid profile, increased environmental resiliency, and greater production yields. “We don’t deal with seeds. It’s different from most hemp farmers where seeds are thrown off of the back of a tractor,” said Elliot (https://ibn.fm/OIBjH). “We grow these seedlings, clones, clippings or cuttings from a live plant and we grow them for the first month indoors and plant them. What this does is ensure is that you are going to get exactly what you expect out of that cultivar.” Pac Roots Cannabis Corp. is a Canadian cannabis company dedicated to producing premium-quality strains and products by leveraging a genetics-focused approach. The company focuses on elite cannabis genetic development for maximum yields, high profit margins, and superior quality strains that meet the high standards of the growing cannabis market.

Brain Scientific Inc. (BRSF) Expands Commercialization of its Pediatric NeuroCap(TM); Announces Maine Medical Center Has Placed Order

  • BRSF announced that Maine Medical Center, a teaching hospital providing health care across Portland, Maine, and northern New England, has placed an order for Pediatric NeuroCap(TM), Company’s pediatric disposable EEG headset.
  • EEG testing is increasingly needed in pediatric patients, where neurological workup faces even bigger challenges than in adults.
  • BRSF has developed disposable EEG caps for adults and children to meet the needs of the pediatric neuro testing market; partners with medical facilities to expand its unique technology and respond to unmet market need.
Brain Scientific (OTCQB: BRSF), a commercial-stage healthcare technology company developing solutions in the brain diagnostics space, announced today that Maine Medical Center had placed an order for a limited supply of Pediatric NeuroCap(TM), the Company’s pediatric disposable EEG caps. As a 637-licensed-bed teaching hospital for Tufts University School of Medicine, Maine Medical Center provides health care for the people of greater Portland, the entire state of Maine, and northern New England (https://ibn.fm/3E1LM). The Pediatric NeuroCap(TM) pre-gelled EEG headset is designed to help medical staff conduct electroencephalogram (“EEG”) testing without some of the usual obstacles found in pediatric patients. Traditional EEG testing can be a cumbersome process requiring steps such as measuring and marking the patient’s head, cleaning the scalp, and conducting required sanitation protocols after the testing. With children and infants, the process can be even more challenging as they often resist testing. Also, clinicians must improvise to make equipment that often comes only in adult size fits children’s smaller head circumference. The Pediatric NeuroCap(TM) is designed to respond to all these obstacles bringing a cost-effective, easy to use and disposable EEG headset made specifically with children in mind. It fits their head easily features 22 pre-gelled electrodes in compliance with the 10-20 international system. It can be quickly deployed, providing EEG study for up to four hours in length. Finally, as a disposable piece of equipment, pediatric NeuroCap(TM) is designed to offer the highest hygienic standards, essential during the pandemic. “We are happy to provide our pediatric EEG products to Maine Medical Center. The NeuroCap(TM) for children is designed to address the need for comfort, speed, and reliability within the pediatric population. We hope that Maine Medical Center and other hospitals see the benefits of using the product on an ongoing basis,” stated Brain Scientific’s VP Strategy and Business Development, Amy Griffith. There is an unmet need for quick and reliable EEG testing in children, who often suffer from various neurological symptoms and conditions, such as epilepsy, seizures, sleep problems, brain infections, and more. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, around 470,000 children suffer from epilepsy, which makes it one of the most prevalent neurological disorders in children. Epilepsy could lead to dangerous seizures if left undetected. The World Health Organization reports that up to 70% of epilepsy patients could live without seizures if adequately diagnosed and treated. The use of EEG testing in pediatrics could go beyond epilepsy and include diagnosing ADHD, and autism — two conditions often challenging to diagnose, especially in younger pediatric patients (https://ibn.fm/LkAgx). Brain Scientific is committed to helping healthcare facilities around the country transform traditionally cumbersome and time-consuming EEG testing into a quick and user-friendly process. After serving the adult brain diagnostics market, the Company was determined to go a step further and make its top-notch technology available for pediatric patients as it was clear that there was a significant unmet market need. Brain Scientific continues to extend the benefits of its unique technology across expanding number of segments of neurological diagnostics markets, and collaboration with Maine Medical Center is a clear step in that direction.

  • Splash filed Form S-1 with SEC seeking to raise $69 million, a capital raise that will only consummate upon Splash meeting all NYSE American listing requirements
Earnings season is almost over, with about 90% of the S&P 500 companies already filing their results from the recent quarter, that being the three-months ended March 31 for most. Normally, a look back at the year prior quarter is instrumental to analysts and retail investors alike as a measure to what the future may hold. A year ago, however, the world was enthralled in the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which makes the year-prior comparisons more moot than typical. For instance, a look at upstart Splash Beverage Group (OTCQB: SBEV) shows a demonstrative crushing of Q1 sales year-over-year. A fairer assessment of the growth trajectory is to look at sequential quarter performance, for which Splash didn’t disappoint either. On the back of its explosive growth, Splash has set the stage to graduate to a national exchange, as evidenced by documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Splash is focused on manufacturing, distribution, sales, and marketing of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The specialization of the company as an accelerator of emerging brands is rooted in its heavily experienced leadership led by CEO Robert Nistico. Among his long list of accomplishments, Nistico was the fifth employee of Red Bull North America, where he and his team grew sales from zilch to over $1.6 billion annually. The SBEV board is littered with industry pros to the point that Nistico, even with his incredible success in the beverage market, recently quipped that he’s “the only no-name” amongst the directors (https://ibn.fm/JfQEX). Florida-based Splash is putting that experience on display as it carves out shares in diverse market segments with its portfolio, including sports drinks, wine-by-the-glass, naturally flavored tequila, and sangria. Despite the diversity, the company utilizes all synergies possible (bottling, distribution, etc.) to contain costs and expand sales while still allowing the local flavor to shine. To that point, Splash’s Salt brand tequila comes from a region in Mexico world renowned for its agaves, while its Pulpoloco Sangria is imported from Spain. During the first quarter, Splash sales surged to $2.42 million (https://ibn.fm/mZR0z). That was a 2,058% increase in sales from the year prior quarter. In fairness, that period marked the peak of pandemic panic, and Splash was just completing a reverse merger to become a public entity. In the fourth quarter of 2020, sales came in at a record $1.24 million. In Q1 2021, sales tallied $2.42 million, smashing the Q4 record by 95% while coming up only about $500,000 short of the $2.98 reported for the full year of 2020. A single image succinctly summarizes the improving sales: Splash ended the quarter with $1.23 million in cash and cash equivalents. Not surprisingly, the young company posted a net loss of $4.44 million for the first quarter as it spends on expansion. While continuing to explore potential accretive acquisitions and execute organic growth, Splash is planning to exit the OTC marketplace in favor of the New York Stock Exchange American. The NYSE American is the old American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”), which showcases mostly small cap (<$500 million market capitalization) NYSE companies. Moving to a national exchange provides additional transparency and attracts investors that are biased against OTC-listed companies. In the process, Splash has filed a Form S-1 with the SEC seeking to raise $69 million (https://ibn.fm/LqeuJ). Management believes it will meet all requisite criteria to uplist and, per the prospectus, “will not consummate this offering unless our common stock will be listed on the NYSE American.” Splash reported that it didn’t have any commitments in place at the time of the S-1 but did note that it may use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering “to in-license, acquire or invest in complementary businesses, technologies, products or assets.” Management estimates that net proceeds from the raise will fund the company for at least 24 months, giving it ample time to execute on building more revenue, moving towards breakeven and, as Nistico told the Big Biz Show, start working on the exit strategy as a multiple of revenue.

Emaginos Inc. Platform Demands Attention as Education Called ‘Powerful Driver of Posterity’

  • Americans with higher levels of education are more likely to vote, to volunteer, to donate to charity, article reports
  • Company has disrupted the education paradigm, creating a game-changing Discovery Learning System
  • Emaginos offers an actionable plan to transform and improve public schools rather than replace them
The ultimate impact of a quality education is almost impossible to measure, although studies and research start to tell the story, reporting numbers and facts that make it hard to not make education a priority. Emaginos Inc., a company dedicated to transforming K-12 public schools through a model composed of integrated proven best practices, is committed to providing the best education available to the upcoming generation. “There is no question that education is a powerful driver of prosperity,” states an article from the Center for American Progress (https://ibn.fm/0k4lj). “Americans with college degrees earn 117 percent more a year than those who do not complete high school. Based on data for the high school class of 2015, raising the nation’s high school graduation rate from 83 percent to 90 percent would result in an additional $3.1 billion in earnings for each high school cohort, which would translate into a $5.7 billion increase in gross domestic product. Moreover, Americans with higher levels of education are more likely to vote, to volunteer, and to donate to charity.” Although not everyone may be aware of those facts, few would argue that education is not essential. However, what constitutes a quality education is often the question. Emaginos offers the answer. The innovative education-based company has disrupted the education paradigm, building a game-changing Discovery Learning System (“DLS”) that offers a systemic transformation from the current teacher-centered model to a K-12 public education system focused on fostering a student’s desire to learn. While the company acknowledges the current public education system is broken, it also is committed to maintaining, and in some cases restoring, the concept of neighborhood schools being the heart of a community. Emaginos is the first company with an actionable plan to transform and improve public schools rather than replace them. The Emaginos model utilizes existing funding, facilities and staff to improve educational approaches and outcomes, in many cases saving school districts money as they subscribe to and implement the Emaginos platform. The transformation starts with one school in a school district adopting the Emaginos DLS, serving as a model for the district’s conversion to the Emaginos platform. The pilot school is used to test and demonstrate the effectiveness and efficacy of a new model in the district. After successful implementation of the Emaginos model at the pilot location, lessons learned during the conversion process at the pilot school inform the implementation of the Emaginos model districtwide. As part of the process, Emaginos provides a wide range of resources, from technology infrastructure and curriculum to training and other services, which enables school districts to successfully implement the proven Emaginos plan. The transformed schools operate for the same or less cost than their previous model, resulting in a much better education for the same or a lower cost. The time for investing in better education has never been more urgent as the impact a quality education has on people individually and society as a whole is evident. Emaginos offers a first-to-market, actionable plan that holds promise for the future using existing funding, facilities and staff and without making additional resource demands.

Brain Scientific Inc. (BRSF) Poised to Solve Major Obstacles to Neurological Testing in Pediatric Patients

  • There is a significant need for EEG diagnostics in pediatric patients, but traditional testing is challenging due to poorly fitting adult-sized equipment, which also increases resistance to testing
  • This leaves a considerable gap in neurological care for young patients
  • BRSF’s Pediatric NeuroCap steps in to solve major barriers limiting EEG monitoring in pediatric care
There is a significant need for EEG diagnostics in pediatric patients, as children can suffer from neurological conditions, but traditional EEG procedure in this setting is time-consuming, cumbersome, and inconvenient. It means that the benefits of EEG testing in pediatrics could not be fully leveraged, leaving a considerable gap in neurological care for young patients. The gap that Brain Scientific (OTCQB: BRSF), a neurology medical device and software company, is poised to close. The most common neurological disorders in children include febrile seizures, which typically do not require EEG testing. However, for some other conditions, such as febrile status epilepticus, non-convulsive seizures, non-convulsive status epilepticus, and altered mental status of unknown cause, EEG testing is of critical importance. Sometimes, it is difficult to differentiate between the two groups of conditions with widely different outcomes. In many instances, EEG could help medical staff sort through complex differential diagnosis so that urgent treatment can be provided. Still, the logistical barriers to its use in pediatric emergency care often mean that medical professionals have to rely on indirect assessments instead. Fortunately, Brain Scientific is developing new technology that allows EEG to be deployed rapidly and accurately in children and adolescents (https://ibn.fm/iDOLU). Conducting EEG in ICU settings is often a practical challenge. For example, it requires that a portable EEG system is available or that the critically ill patient is transferred to an EEG suite. The latter could often have a detrimental health impact as it involves removing the patient in a severe condition from the urgent care support that serves as the lifeline for those in the most fragile state. It also requires trained EEG technicians to adequately position electrodes after applying gel to each, which takes considerable time. Time is incredibly precious in an urgent setting where every second counts —time spent on diagnosis eats away at the time that could be spent on treatment. It is even more of a struggle to deploy EEG in pediatric patients. A significant complicating factor for EEG testing in pediatrics is that adult equipment is often used for children. This means that it needs to be adjusted to fit a child’s considerably smaller head, which further complicates deployment as electrodes cannot overlap. Placing each electrode may turn into an even bigger challenge as children often resist medical testing. As much as traditional EEG testing is challenging in ideal circumstances, the pandemic has only exacerbated these struggles. The deadly virus can be found on various surfaces and equipment in a medical setting. Reusable EEG electrodes must be disinfected between uses to avoid cross-contamination between patients. This is where the Pediatric NeuroCap steps in to solve significant barriers limiting EEG monitoring in pediatric care (here is a video of the setup). Instead of improvising to make adult-size EEG electrodes fit pediatric patients’ smaller head circumference, Brain Scientific fully adapted its revolutionary NeuroCap to be used in children. The Pediatric NeuroCap comes in two sizes and includes 22 integrated, pre-gelled electrodes compliant with the 10-20 international system. With The Pediatric NeuroCap, the logistical struggle to perform EEG testing in pediatric patients appears on the way to be solved — the testing can be conducted within five minutes by any member of the clinical team. The cap removes the need to place each electrode one by one and is robust enough to sustain resistance to testing often found in pediatric patients. After delivering up to 4 hours of hospital-grade EEG monitoring, pediatric NeuroCap can be removed in less than 1 minute and disposed of, making it an ideal fit for the pandemic environment. The Pediatric NeuroCap is positioned to be the first disposable and pre-gelled headset available for the pediatric market, bringing faster, more efficient, and sanitary brain diagnostics to the pediatric setting.
