Blockchain is slowly gaining ground and has now become the preferred mode of financial transaction by many leading organizations. The Blockchain Conference Africa 2022 is a big step for transparency and understanding of this medium of transaction for seamless business management and the underlying challenges with infrastructure and regulatory frameworks to achieve these goals. This is in keeping with the goal of the conference that started with ‘Beyond the Hype’, ‘From Hype to Mainstream’ and now ‘Ready for Business?’ To learn more, please visit https://blockchainafrica.co/.

Multitasking with the Superpower of Pluaris

  • App simplifies process of reading, studying and analyzing, allowing readers to stay on top of information they need to know
  • “Forbes” claims multitasking masters are simply switching back and forth between two or more objects
  • Relying on artificial intelligence rather than human intelligence, Pluaris can do a myriad of things simultaneously
Multitasking is a myth, declared a recent “Forbes” article, dashing the belief of overachievers everywhere who thought they had mastered the art of doing more than one thing at a time. However, while “Forbes” claims people are unable to multitask, Nowigence Inc. (NOWG) has developed an off-the shelf, cloud-based, artificial intelligence (“AI”) platform, called Pluaris(TM), that actually can successfully handle more than one task at a time. “Most of us, especially us Type A’s, like to think we’re great multitaskers,” states the article. “We check our email and text messages while listening in on a Zoom meeting, working on a spreadsheet, and scrolling Twitter or a news site. In this age of distraction, multitasking seems like a useful superpower to have. Unfortunately, it isn’t even real. That’s right — multitasking is a myth.” Instead, claims “Forbes,” what multitasking masters are actually doing is switching back and forth between two or more objects, which the publication calls “task switching.” “Often, there’s little rhyme or reason for the switching,” the article notes. “That’s especially the case when we let little distractions and ongoing worries interrupt our focus. When we’re task switching, we aren’t fully engaged in anything. Task switching can take a significant toll. You may be surprised to learn that toggling back and forth between tasks—even just taking 30 seconds to send a text—slows down and can even derail your mental ability for up to a full half hour afterward.” The article goes on to point out that task switchers often become more forgetful, dumber and more stressed out. While multitasking might not be a real thing, Nowigence’s Pluaris is. Relying on artificial intelligence rather than human intelligence, Pluaris can do a myriad of things simultaneously. The game-changing app automatically monitors public news sources for identified topics of interest while also gathering information together and providing summaries, extracting intelligence, and creating graphical analysis. It’s the ultimate multitasking platform. And while Pluaris automates reading and analysis of textual data, the app’s users can focus on one thing: learning more in less time. The app simplifies the process of reading, studying, and analyzing, allowing readers to stay on top of the information they need to know. Simplifying learning is what Nowigence is all about. The company is committed to helping individuals, teams and enterprises quickly distill knowledge from massive amounts of textual data, both public and private. By integrating state-of-the-art data processing techniques in an intuitive interface at an affordable subscription price, Pluaris puts the power of data science into the hands of consumers.

InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: INM) and BayMedica Rare Cannabinoids to Enter Market Q1 2022; Leveraging on Fast-Growing Global Health and Wellness Market

  • Over 140 rare cannabinoids exist in the cannabis plant – some with the potential to have more therapeutic benefits than those cannabinoids found prominently in the plant
  • InMed and subsidiary BayMedica plan to release several rare cannabinoid products in the first half of 2022
  • Combination of complementary InMed and BayMedica business models key to increasing shareholders’ value
In 2020, the global health and wellness market reached $4.436 trillion and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2021 to 2030, resulting in an estimated value of $7.7 trillion by the end of the forecasted period (https://ibn.fm/BjCNi). The primary driver for the market is the rise in chronic diseases globally. The lifestyles led by individuals have resulted in a high prevalence of stress, depression, anxiety, cancer, diabetes, and other health-related issues. On top of these conditions, the lack of a proper diet has reduced the intake of essential minerals and nutrients required for healthy function by every body. The rapid growth of the biopharmaceutical industry and the constant research and development of health and wellness products boost the medicinal industry with life-saving drugs and treatments for some of the most devastating illnesses and diseases. Six areas make up a consumer’s view of wellness – better health, better fitness, better nutrition, better appearance, better sleep, and better mindfulness. According to a McKinsey & Company survey, worldwide, the most money spent was on products that promote better health (https://ibn.fm/Jhzpl). The majority of the spending (70%) was product-related, but over the next year, the services industry is expected to grow as well. InMed Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: INM), a clinical-stage company developing cannabinoid-based pharmaceutical drug candidates and the manufacturer of technologies for pharmaceutical-grade rare cannabinoids, has dedicated itself to developing new therapeutic alternatives for the treatment of conditions with high unmet medical needs. Together with its subsidiary, BayMedica, InMed increases shareholder value by combining two complementary business models. There are over 140 rare cannabinoids that naturally occur at low amounts in the cannabis plant. InMed initially focused on the therapeutic benefits of cannabinol (“CBN”), which shows increased potential over other cannabinoids more prominently found in the cannabis plant. CBN is also the active pharmaceutical ingredient in two lead programs conducted by InMed for dermatological (INM-755) and ocular (INM-088) diseases. The manufacturing process used by InMed and recently acquired subsidiary BayMedica is unparalleled in the industry. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to cannabinoid manufacturing, so multiple avenues are required to realize the maximum outcome for the targeted cannabinoid. InMed and BayMedica, like a well-oiled machine, work together using biosynthesis, chemical synthesis, and the proprietary IntegraSyn(TM) manufacturing models. Biosynthesis is preferred for complex structures at a large scale and is well suited for the consumer and health industry. Chemical synthesis is preferred for cannabinoids with simple structures and offers the potential for less equipment and lower capital requirements. There is also a potential for easier validation with chemical synthesis, and it is also an important component of secondary IntegraSyn(TM) differentiation steps. IntegraSyn(TM) utilizes high-efficiency biosynthesis-derived enzymes, allowing the flexibility to shift from the production of one cannabinoid to a range of cannabinoids. This proprietary method makes it easy to scale up to mass production, it is commonly available, and it is cost-efficient when dealing with startup materials. Together, InMed and BayMedica plan to launch a series of rare cannabinoids into the health and wellness sector during Q1 2022, starting with cannabicitran (“CBT”). “We are delivering on our objective to launch additional rare cannabinoids in early 2022 in response to inbound demand,” BayMedica SVP and General Manager Shane Johnson said (https://ibn.fm/lsr3m). “By midyear, we expect to have at least four rare cannabinoids available for the health and wellness markets, positioning us as a leading large-scale supplier of high-quality rare cannabinoids in these sectors.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.InMedPharma.com.

Nemaura Medical Inc.’s (NASDAQ: NMRD) sugarBEAT(R) Wearable CGM Device Targets Billion-Dollar Global Diabetes Market

  • Global diabetes-related healthcare expenses are estimated at $966 billion in 2021
  • A recent report reveals 537 million adults currently live with diabetes, projected to rise to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045
  • Glucose intake is an important factor in diabetes management, prevention and reversal
  • NMRD’s sugarBEAT(R) wearable is a non-invasive, flexible CGM device helping diabetes and prediabetes patients monitor glucose levels
  • NMRD’s MiBoKo metabolic health program recently launched, provides AI-powered insights based on glucose readings
Diabetes is a primary driver of chronic disease costing the healthcare services sector more than $966 billion in 2021. Nemaura Medical (NASDAQ: NMRD), a medical technology company that develops affordable diagnostic and digital tools for chronic disease management, is positioned to address the problem with sugarBEAT(R), a wearable, non-invasive and flexible Continuous Glucose Monitor (“CGM”) that can help diabetes and prediabetes patients monitor glucose levels to manage, prevent, and possibly reverse the disease. According to the International Diabetes Federation (“IDF”), diabetes is, “spiraling out of control.” The organization recently released a report detailing the disease’s progress, revealing that 537 million adults live with diabetes, a number projected to rise to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045. Besides affecting the health and wellbeing of patients, employers and insurers are burdened with diabetes-related expenses, currently estimated at over $966 billion – a 316% increase over the last 15 years. Nemaura addresses this through its flagship sugarBEAT(R) wearable CGM device and companion mobile app that provides helpful disease management insights. Unlike other CGM devices, sugarBEAT(R) is non-invasive and doesn’t require insertion of the sensor inside the skin: Users can now choose the days they wear the patch instead of a prolonged continuous-wear period lasting up to 14 days. Combined with MiBoKo, the company’s recently launched metabolic health program, both products provide valuable AI-powered insights that NMRD management believes will benefit one-third to half of the diabetes market. “A person’s response to sugar intake can influence many factors, from appetite and body weight, to sleep patterns, energy levels and even mood, not to mention also being a considerable factor in chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease and dementia,” said NMRD CEO Dr. Faz Chowdhury. “With MiBoKo, we can extend our proprietary non-invasive device and sensor technology and interactive lifestyle and AI coaching programs beyond the traditional diabetes market and into an adjacent, yet separate, market application of metabolic health. At Nemaura, we continue to look for the intersection of patient comfort and convenience through an advanced and unique technology that addresses significant healthcare needs for large patient populations. We believe that MiBoKo offers insights into metabolic health in a user-friendly way unlike any other program on the market.” Founded in 2011, NMRD initially developed a single platform technology to measure blood markers at the skin’s surface. Since then, the company evolved its technology to address the global need for wearable glucose-monitoring devices, intersecting the diabetes, pre-diabetes, and weight loss markets. With several filed and pending patents, and significant trade secrets covering its technology platform, Nemaura is favorably positioned to lead the market with cost-effective, wearable, and non-invasive diabetes management devices.

FuelPositive Corp. (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) Offering the Use of Green Ammonia as a ‘Climate Fix’

  • Canadian-based clean energy solutions innovator FuelPositive Corp. is developing a means of producing and using ammonia for non-carbon polluting fuel
  • Hydrogen has been touted as the ‘fuel of the future’, with the IEA predicting that hydrogen-based fuels will have to account for 30% of transportation fuels by 2050 to help the world achieve its zero emissions goals
  • However, hydrogen has proven to be notoriously difficult to transport, given its highly volatile nature as well as its extremely low liquefying point (-253 degrees Celsius)
  • Green Ammonia has emerged as both the best solution to transport and store hydrogen, as well as a renewable fuel source in its own right
Historically, passengers looking to take the 80-minute train journey linking the coastal town of Cuxhaven, Germany and Buxtehude, a commuter hub located just outside the city limits of Hamburg, would board the diesel train service run by German train operator, EVB. However, that all changed one Sunday morning in September 2018; on that day, the Coradia iLint, the world’s first hydrogen-powered passenger train, came into service on the nearly 100 kilometers of line running between the two destinations (https://ibn.fm/qXU3f). In addition to its efficient service – the train could achieve speeds of up to 140 kilometers per hour (86 miles per hour), the Coradia iLint marked a dramatic departure from the polluting trains of the past. The average diesel-powered train generates carbon emissions of as much as 27.5g CO2e per tonne kilometer (https://ibn.fm/8TLRl); the Coradia iLint, in turn, emits only steam and condensed water, with the latter element so pure, it can be used as drinking water. Although the environmental bona fides of hydrogen fuel cells and other pure hydrogen applications are undeniable – a 2021 International Energy Agency report forecast that to hit zero emissions by 2050, hydrogen-based fuels should account for nearly 30 percent of transport fuels by 2050 (https://ibn.fm/cuqld), the difficulty in effectively transporting and storing the fuel has hampered its mass adoption to date. Canadian-based clean energy solutions innovator, FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) has sought to resolve this conundrum through the development of its proprietary carbon-free green ammonia technology. Green ammonia, so called for its production process using renewable energy sources, has been shown to be one of the most effective mediums for the proper storage and transportation of energy from renewable power sources. Historically utilized to manufacture agricultural fertilizers, green ammonia has also been found to be one of the most efficient and low-cost means of transporting hydrogen. FuelPositive’s hydrogen-ammonia synthesizer technology provides the means of storing hydrogen as green ammonia for effective transportation and storage, with the option of easy conversion back to hydrogen for use in hydrogen fuel cells and other functions. Although pure hydrogen has often been touted as the ‘fuel of the future’, green ammonia has also been shown to be effective as an energy source in its own right; in fact, the gas has been found to boast a higher energy density, at 12.7 megajoules per liter than liquid hydrogen, at 8.5 MJ/L (https://ibn.fm/RFfT6). In other words, green ammonia can store and generate nearly 50 percent more energy per liter than the equivalent volume of liquid hydrogen. Moreover, liquid hydrogen must be cooled to minus 253 degrees Celsius to remain in liquid form, whereas green ammonia can become liquid at a mere minus 33 degrees Celsius, significantly decreasing the logistical challenges in transporting the fuel. As a result, green ammonia has already been touted as a vital potential fuel for the global shipping industry, with the latter accounting for approximately two to three percent of the world’s annual greenhouse gas emissions (https://ibn.fm/OaUAV). The IEA has revealed that green ammonia has an essential role to play in bringing global emissions to net zero, alongside biofuels and hydrogen. Jimmy Faria, a chemical engineer at the University of Twente in the Netherlands who has delved into the use of ammonia, forecast that green ammonia will continue to gain prevalence as carbon prices rise further: “I think ammonia is probably the future for liquid fuels” (https://ibn.fm/yz1Ks). With its technology well suited towards the production and transportation of green ammonia, FuelPositive Corp looks well positioned to capitalize on the ongoing global shift towards renewable energy sources and hydrogen-based fuels in particular.

Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (CSE: RWB) (OTCQX: RWBYF) Now Controls All Aspects of its Michigan Operations Following PharmaCo’s Acquisition

  • RWB has received all regulatory approvals and closed its acquisition of PharmaCo, a Michigan-based marijuana company
  • This acquisition opens RWB to over 22 properties, including dispensaries and cultivation sites, giving it complete control of all its operations, from cultivating the product to selling it
  • It marks a key milestone for the company and its shareholders as it continues to execute key components of its growth strategy
  • For the 2022 calendar year, the company looks to extend its branded product lines, update its dispensaries, create supply chain efficiencies, and grow revenue and profitability
Red White & Bloom Brands (CSE: RWB) (OTCQX: RWBYF) is slowly positioning itself to be one of the most prolific multi-state operators in cannabis and hemp-derived product lines in the United States. Its strategy has mainly consisted of acquisitions across states like Illinois and Massachusetts, with plans to expand to California and Florida. In what marks a significant milestone for RWB, it has announced having received all regulatory approvals and closing its acquisition of PharmaCo, a Michigan-based marijuana company. This acquisition expands RWB’s footprint within the state, having initially only had a single product line in this market- the Platinum Vape(R) brand (https://ibn.fm/fpiFt). “I am pleased to announce that we have closed on the PharmaCo acquisition and now control all aspects of our Michigan Operations,” noted Brad Rogers, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of RWB. “This is a major milestone for RWB and its shareholders as we continue to execute key components of our growth strategy and build our house of brands across our core markets, as promised,” he added. The acquisition was made via RWB Michigan, LLC, a wholly-owned RWB subsidiary, at a consideration of 37 million RWB units. Each unit consisted of one common share and one series 2 convertible preferred share in the capital of RWB. The transaction also involved converting $30 million in previous advanced loans to PharmaCo into preferred shares in the company issued by RWB Michigan immediately before closing, giving the company 100% ownership of PharmaCo. This successful acquisition gives RWB access to 22 owned properties, including nine dispensaries and three cultivation sites in Glendale, Marquette, and Au Gres. RWB has also expanded its human resources within the State of Michigan by 180 employees and seeks to offer them competitive wages and incentives to share in the rewards of helping the company achieve its goals. “We welcome the many talented PharmaCo employees to the RWB team to continue their good work,” noted Mr. Rogers. “We value their contributions and feel it is important to pay competitive wages and provide key leaders and employees with a stake in the company so they can share in the rewards of helping RWB achieve its goals,” he added. Going forward, RWB looks to execute its initiatives that include extending its branded product lines, updating its dispensaries to heighten the customer experience, creating supply chain efficiencies, and growing revenue and profitability. This is possible given that the company now controls all Michigan operations, from growing the product to selling it. Michigan is one of the top cannabis markets in the United States, accounting for over $1.79 billion in sales in 2021 alone. “We are now in the driver’s seat on over 20 assets across Michigan- one of the largest and fastest-growing cannabis markets in the country,” reckoned Mr. Rogers.
