• The need for neurological services is increasing while the gap in access to care for patients is only increasing
• Neurological services are facing the challenge of a more contagious variant, staff shortage, and trying to uncover the reason for long-term symptoms in those who have had COVID

Brain Scientific (OTCQB: BRSF), a commercial stage healthcare company, is bridging the widening gap in patient access to care. Right now, the need for neurological care in the United States far outweighs the availability of neurologists and services. With the rise of the Delta Variant and new studies uncovering evidence that even mild cases of COVID have resulted in brain damage, the need for neurological services is only increasing. Brain Scientific offers next-gen solutions that provide neurological services and allow the neurologists to consult more efficiently. A new study comparing brain scans before and after COVID has uncovered evidence that even in mild cases, brain damage may occur (https://ibn.fm/A7MwK). Researchers had access to 394 patient brain scans done before the pandemic who then caught COVID. These scans showed brain shrinkage in the areas that control taste, smell, and memory in those who had recovered. Most of these individuals experienced only a mild case of COVID. Additional research will be needed in the upcoming years to determine the long-term symptoms of contracting this virus. Before a solution can be found, researchers need first to understand why the virus is causing damage to the brain. “Is it going to increase Alzheimer’s rates, dementia rates — even in people who are only mildly affected? This is something that could be a major public health crisis 20 years from now,” said UT Physicians Post-COVID-19 Clinic physician Dr. Louise McCullough. “The next step is seeing, do the patients who have the worst brain shrinkage or volume loss have the worse memory?” Long-term effects are not the only challenge right now. The new Delta Variant has proven to be twice as contagious and causes more severe illness than the previous strains, particularly in the unvaccinated (https://ibn.fm/o4NMV). This new surge highlights two problems in hospitals and the neurological market: staff shortages and contamination. “The real constraint isn’t beds — it’s people,” said Maryland Hospital Association President and CEO Bob Atlas (https://ibn.fm/gUD7O). The health care workforce is exhausted and there is a shortage of hospital staff. It’s not just the rise in the Delta Variant that is the cause for full hospitals and staffing issues, it also is the amount of people who had to put off critical care during the pandemic. Hospitals are simply busier. A second issue is that the Delta Variant is twice as contagious, increasing the risk of contamination from patient to staff or patient to patient. The longer a staff member stays with a patient, the higher the risk of infection. The more equipment that needs to be cleaned and reused between patients, the higher the risk of infection. When it comes to neurological services during COVID, Brain Scientific has solved these issues with its two FDA-cleared EEG technologies — the NeuroCap and the NeuroEEG. Easy to administer and disposable (the NeuroCap), these low-cost devices allow staff to provide EEGs at the patient’s bedside. Rather than the 30 to 45 minutes it takes to fit a traditional EEG, these pre-gelled disposable NeuroCap and portable wireless NeuroEEG devices take five minutes to set up. In addition, they provide access to testing in ER settings and hospitals that may not have 24/7 EEG support or any. The Company also partners with researchers. Because it is not necessary to have medical training to fit the cap, researchers can also administer it. Data can be collected for more extended periods as the device is portable and worn for up to four hours. The process is also much simpler for the test subject, who does not have to sit through a lengthy setup phase or be constrained by the many wires that come with traditional EEGs.

• SGTM reports more than $9.2 million in revenue for Q1 2021 after recording $30.5 million in revenue for FY 2020
• Company anticipates continued strong financials as it starts to implement 2021 strategy
• SGTM focused on providing a sustainable, green solution for treatment and handling of tree debris that has been historically sent to local landfills and disposal sites

The Sustainable Green Team (OTC: SGTM), a leading provider of environmentally beneficial solutions for tree and storm waste disposal, has reported its financial numbers for the first quarter of 2021. The company noted that the quarter was a success, following a strong 2020 YE (https://ibn.fm/m6c6n). SGTM has six production facilities that contribute to its consistent success, including its new headquarters at the Mulch Manufacturing site in Florida (https://ibn.fm/uq9VL). “Our continued successful recorded financials each quarter and year end is all thanks to our team,” said Sustainable Green Team CEO and director Tony Raynor. “I’m a firm believer that you are only as strong as your team, and our strong growing financials proves such. This year we are anticipating to continue recording strong financials as we start implementing our strategy for 2021 we plan to share soon as they progress.” Highlights of the company’s Q1 2021 include $9,291,931 in revenue with $1,400,720 in gross profit and $41,477,914 in total assets for the three months ending April 3, 2021. In addition, the report noted that SGTM had recorded more than $30.5 million in revenue for FY 2020 and had entered 2021 with approximately a 16.7% increase in revenue, an 8.6% increase in gross profit, and a 1.4% increase in total assets compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The company is committed to providing a sustainable, green solution for the treatment and handling of tree debris that has been historically sent to local landfills and disposal sites. The traditional method of dealing with tree debris has created “an environmental burden and pressure on disposal sites around the nation,” the company noted. Instead, SGTM is focused on converting the biomass into a marketable, beneficial-use product. Six production facilities enable the company to carry out their mission. SGTM’s facility in Callahan, Florida, has 100 acres of storage and features six bagging lines that work with cypress, pine, Softscape, colored, and A-grade products. They have an additional facility in Homerville, Georgia, including a cypress sawmill, three bagging lines, and 40 acres of storage. The company has two facilities in Jacksonville, Florida: its colorant plant produces mulch colorants and sells mulch-coloring machinery. This facility is also the site of the company’s R&D division while its production and bagging facility is ramping up to include retail sales and offer wood recycling services. The company has two additional sites in Florida — one in Apopka and one in Astatula — that already provide wood recycling services and retail sales of a full line of bagged and bulk mulch products. Through its subsidiaries, The Sustainable Green Team provides tree services, debris hauling and removal, biomass recycling, mulch manufacturing, packaging, and sales. The company’s solutions are founded in sustainability and are based on vertically integrated operations. This process begins with collecting tree debris through its tree services division and collection sites. Then, through its processing division, that tree debris is recycled and used as a feedstock to be manufactured into various organic, attractive, next-generation mulch products. These products are then packaged and sold to landscapers, installers, and garden centers. The company plans to expand its operations through a combination of organic growth and strategic acquisitions that are both accretive to earnings and positioned for rapid growth from the resulting synergistic opportunities identified. The company’s customers include governmental, residential, and commercial clients.

• Streamlytics’ Clture platform enables private individuals to monetize their data by selling access to it to interested counterparties
• Streamlytics provides customers with access to invaluable customer insights, assisting companies refine service and product offerings and cater to rapidly changing customer trends
• In addition to its core offering, Streamlytics has distinguished itself for its focus on demographic subsets, including its position as the largest first-party data provider for African Americans

In late 2014, UK cell provider Three introduced their award-winning ‘Holiday Spam’ campaign, promoting the mobile company’s roaming data offering which enabled customers to use their phones abroad at no extra cost (https://ibn.fm/VZaFT). The ad campaign featured people ‘spamming’ their friends with their holiday snaps, a concept which resulted from the company’s costly and painstaking investigation and insights into people’s behavior while on vacation – a form of research and data mining which Streamlytics’ proprietary Clture platform suited to be an efficient and accessible service offering. The rise of data-driven marketing and the need to personalize and launch targeted ad and product campaigns has become increasingly critical in terms of both, improving a service offering’s quality and driving stakeholder engagement. Streamlytics’ business model has been conceptualized as a means of enabling customers and private individuals to monetize their data, by bundling their anonymized information to platforms, selling access to interested counterparties. Users can download their data from a variety of sources, license it and upload it to the Clture app platform, which subsequently unifies the various file types and data sources and packages it for a broad array of enterprise customers. In addition to providing companies with invaluable and often-times, inaccessible customer insights and feedback, Streamlytics’ founder and CEO, Angela Benton views the company’s data offering as increasingly essential in terms of decreasing the amount of inherent bias present within artificial intelligence today: “If [the] algorithms within the AI ecosystem aren’t trained on data that is diverse, that correctly represents the gender and ethnic makeup of the world we live in today, that for me is the bigger problem. That’s how you end up with bias. To me, that’s the bigger implication of why data is so important,” said Benton (https://ibn.fm/cxICQ). The traditional model of consumer data collection across a range of industries has been to use second- or third-party assumptive data based on cookies or customer affinities, all of which can lead to a high margin of error. Moreover, current forms of data collection are unable to differentiate the sourced data by the various demographics contributing to it, a challenge which Streamlytics seeks to embrace. Benton elaborated on their unique data offering, “We’re the largest first-party data provider for African American data that is sourced in this ethical way, and we can make recommendations based on activity that falls kind of within a demographic. So if [a company wants] to understand African American women ages 18 to 24, what our data uniquely does is say they watch Bridgerton on Netflix, but also maps to other things they’re doing and buying. It will say they buy wellness products more, and specifically what kinds. These details allow the companies to make better decisions.” Streamlytics’ product offering has already gained a wide range of adherents, including Tier 1 clients from across the CPG, wireless, automotive and apparel industries who are able to purchase data feeds containing over 30 million data points; the data sets have proved to be instrumental in enabling customers to further refine their programmatic advertising and drive both, substantial cost savings and increased revenues. Streamlytics also offers customers the ability to acquire custom datastreams, wherein clients can sort through over 400 million datapoints to not only boost revenue, but also to refine marketing, innovate products and increase artificial intelligence accuracy (https://ibn.fm/3fIjk). Marketers and corporations are increasingly able to use Streamlytics’ data offering to gain insightful feedback into their target consumer group’s consumption habits, their planned purchases as well as their preferred acquisition methods. With global consumer brands increasingly on the lookout for newer and more creative ways to interact with their target consumer base (https://ibn.fm/Kfwr1), Streamlytics ethically sourced, ‘community-driven’ data service and the valuable insights derived from these, could find themselves in greater demand than ever anticipated.

• EMR report projects that North America is likely to be fastest, largest marketplace for cannabis beverages
• Cannabis beverage industry projected to grow at CAGR of 48% in the next five years, reaching an anticipated $12.7 billion by 2026
• BevCanna manufactures its own beverage product lines, offers white-label services to companies looking for the highest-quality products available

North America will be a leader in the global cannabis beverage market, according to a recent Expert Market Research (“EMR”) report (https://ibn.fm/wtV1O). This projection bodes well for BevCanna Enterprises (CSE: BEV) (OTCQB: BVNNF) (FSE: 7BC), a diversified health & wellness beverage and natural products company developing and manufacturing a range of alkaline, plant-based and cannabinoid beverages and supplements for both in-house brands and white-label clients. “North America is likely to be the fastest and largest marketplace for cannabis beverages,” the EMR report stated. “The legalization of cannabis for medical, therapeutic and recreational purposes is driving the growth of the market. In 2018, Canada legalized the utilization of marijuana for recreational and medical purposes. Various states in the U.S. have made the addition of cannabis infusion legal in food and beverages. This factor is predicted to spice up the expansion of the cannabis food and beverage market in North America.” EMR went on to note that worldwide, the cannabis beverage industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 48% in the next five years, reaching an anticipated $12.7 billion by 2026. The report noted that increasing demand for wellness beverages is expected to drive the expansion of the cannabis beverages industry. Other drivers behind the market growth include the lower sugar content of the product, the presence of consistently dosed amount of cannabis for consumption, the legalization of marijuana consumption for medical and recreational purposes in many countries, and the growing consumer interest in cannabis edibles. “Cannabis consumers are shifting their interest from smoking cannabis to other ways, like beverages, tinctures, chocolates, and other edibles,” the report noted. “Consumers are willing to consume concentrated and cannabis-infused products, which successively is anticipated to support the market growth. Cannabis beverages are predicted to exchange other marijuana-infused consumables, like chocolates, cookies, brownies, and confectionaries like gummies and candies which are considered to be not healthy. This factor is predicted to spice up the demand for cannabis drinks over the forecasted period.” Ideally situated in this booming space, BevCanna is in a position to leverage its state-of-the-art facilities and expertise to manufacture its own beverage product lines and to provide white label solutions to a growing list of third-party companies.

• Lexaria has progressed significantly in evidencing that its patented DehydraTECH(TM) drug delivery technology can sufficiently improve the usable fraction of known antiviral drugs that reach the bloodstream
• According to a Newsfile Corp. article, this technology can be applied to rendering treatments for HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases more effective
• The company also released partial results from a human clinical study evaluating DehydraTECH-processed CBD for potential application against hypertension, which evidenced a rapid and sustained drop in blood pressure
• Growing hypertension and antiviral therapeutics market represent a potential win for Lexaria

In July, Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a drug delivery technology developer, issued several key announcements that, in addition to highlighting the progress made in advancing its patented DehydraTECH(TM) drug delivery technology, form the basis of analysis in a recent Newsfile Corp. article (https://ibn.fm/1BOgg). On July 22, the Kelowna-based global innovator reviewed its successful 2021 antiviral drug program. With diseases caused by viruses, including HIV/AIDS, influenza, and, more recently, COVID-19, having made the demand and need for effective antiviral drugs via oral delivery that are available to all more profound than ever before, Lexaria has made strides. The company has progressed significantly in evidencing that DehydraTECH can sufficiently enhance the usable fraction of known antiviral drugs that reach the bloodstream to safely and more effectively do what they are designed to accomplish. Still, it continues to evaluate the data generated from the program (https://ibn.fm/MQIDe). According to the Newsfile article, the antivirals represent a much broader market for DehydraTECH, especially currently, because in response to COVID-19, they “are having a moment.” Even so, “the same technology can be applied to rendering treatments for AIDS and other infectious diseases more effective. Antihistamines and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as such therapeutics as remdesivir, have all been shown to be enhanced by DehydraTECH in animal studies,” the article notes. Lexaria is likely to benefit from the projected growth in the global antiviral therapeutics market, which is expected to surge to $67.76 billion in 2026 from $51.26 billion in 2020, representing a 4.76% CAGR. Analysts at Mordor Intelligence peg this growth on robust R&D investment in antiviral drugs by public and private companies (https://ibn.fm/NbkIA). Notably, the antiviral program is just one of several others Lexaria is focusing on at present. Another applied R&D program, which also featured prominently in the Newsfile article, is hypertension. On July 29, the company released partial results from a human clinical study, HYPER-H21-1, evaluating DehydraTECH-processed cannabidiol (“CBD”) for potential application against hypertension (https://nnw.fm/9WvGd). (https://cnw.fm/rYTu4). (https://ibn.fm/fmGyE). The study revealed a rapid and sustained drop in blood pressure with DehydraTECH-processed CBD and was most pronounced within the first 10 to 50 minutes of the study. This evidence reinforced the company’s pre-existing findings and further demonstrated that its drug delivery technology offers superior performance over generic CBD controls (https://ibn.fm/eYP1p). “That CBD would be among the first use cases for such a platform as DehydraTECH makes sense,” reads the Newsfile article, “FDA-approved for pediatric seizure purposes since 2018, it has gained a great deal of traction over a short period of time. While its most closely identified delivery vector is hemp cigarettes, these can damage lungs as much as pills can damage livers.” The article further notes that hypertension represents a new market for CBD and a potential huge win for Lexaria. Valued at $27.8 billion in 2018, the antihypertensive drug market is expected to grow at a CAGR of about 2% from 2019 to 2027 (https://ibn.fm/eMoJz). On July 28, Lexaria announced that DehydraTECH is available for sale in more than 7,000 stores across the US, in what CEO Chris Bunka noted was an indication that the delivery technology is enabling increased market share and sales growth for its expanding list of corporate clients (https://ibn.fm/U4ws7). The article also highlights Lexaria’s financial information. “Its balance sheet is clean, but that is in large part due to Lexaria’s ability to raise money on financial markets. Earnings are not what one would hope for, and yet the market cap is roughly 10x assets, suggesting high confidence in management,” it concludes.
