A few years ago, most doctors were still updating their patient files manually and kept hard copies in their offices to refer to whenever necessary. More often than not, this antiquated system proved cumbersome and inefficient, especially in an emergency situation where a doctor needed to access his or her patient’s medical history quickly and the file went missing or was accidentally misplaced. Potentially leading to a delay in proper care, this medical patient filing system became increasingly obsolete, and a growing number of health care professionals started turning toward electronic health record (EHR) keeping.

Also known as electronic medical records, EHRs have a significant impact on the health care system, improving its overall quality and enhancing patient safety. Electronic health records streamline clinical operations, allow multiple practitioners to access patients’ medical histories, allow convenient storage and retrieval of information, and can help a practice be more operationally efficient. By accessing a patient’s history electronically, doctors can immediately see how a specific condition developed and evolved and decide the best course of action and treatment based on this comprehensive information.

These features have convinced a great number of physicians to switch to EHR systems, with the adoption rate nearly doubling in the United States since 2008 (from 42% to 83% in 2015). In January of this year, roughly 59% of U.S. medical service providers reported using an EHR system, with the slight decline owing to a much larger sampling size. In addition, nearly 35% of health care professionals reported using a fully functional EHR platform with capabilities such as electronic charts, electronic prescribing and integration with imaging and testing centers. Among the specialties with the highest adoption rates are internal medicine and pediatrics, dialysis, nephrology and pathology.

To further encourage the use of EHR systems, the federal government issued a set of ‘Meaningful Use’ standards in 2010, outlining a series of EHR use requirements for doctors wishing to be eligible for Medicare and Medicaid payments. All health care units using EHR systems need to be in line with the Meaningful Use standards by 2017 or risk penalty. At the moment, three-quarters of EHR users reported that their systems meet Meaningful Use requirements, while more than 370,000 physicians or practices have already earned incentive under the program.

The EHR software from top health care information technology provider Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. (NASDAQ: MTBC; MTBCP) fully meets all the requirements of any small- to medium-sized medical practice, no matter the size and specialty. Built around the company’s proprietary ChartsPro™ software, this web-based EHR is easy to use and intuitive, being designed to improve the productivity of any practice by automating all its clinical activities. Since it is web-based, it does not require any software download or installation and allows medical professionals to access it anytime, anywhere, using only a computer or mobile device with an Internet connection. The system also includes 13 specialty-specific modules, including Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, OB/GYN, Podiatry, Rheumatology, Pediatrics and Psychiatry.

Some of the Medical Transcription Billing software’s top features include Patient Charts, which allow for the capture and storage of extensive patient information such as vitals, social history and care plan; a Clinical Decision Support System, which helps provide preventative care with evidence-based alerts; a Personal Tab module, which enables detailed documentation of patient demographics; and a host of patient education materials via the MedlinePlus Encyclopedia.

Liquidmetal Technologies (OTCQB: LQMT), based just south of Los Angeles in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, is using technology discovered by researchers at the California Institute of Technology to revolutionize the production and properties of precision parts for medical, military, consumer, industrial, and other applications. It’s a technology that offers important economic advantages in terms of precision, strength, and production, giving designers access to creative options that are unavailable with traditional approaches.

The key is amorphous alloy technology, which results in materials able to retain a random atomic structure as a solid, as opposed to the crystalline atomic structure found in ordinary metals and alloys. Liquidmetal Technologies is the first company to offer such amorphous alloys at full commercial levels, and it is considered a leading developer of amorphous alloys, holding more than 70 associated U.S. patents.

It’s a technology that’s changing the way new products are being designed, allowing complex, high-precision parts and titanium-grade strength with a manufacturing process that provides high production rates without sacrificing part-to-part consistency. An assembly of traditionally machined parts can be replaced with a well-designed part that is substantially thinner than conventional metal. In the words of the company: “Utilizing this revolutionary process, product development managers and engineers have been able to overcome many manufacturing obstacles. The molding process and a highly unique combination of properties allow outside the box thinking relative to traditional metal forming processes when designing parts.”

To leverage its considerable intellectual portfolio, Liquidmetal Technologies uses strategic partnerships with various companies around the world through a Certified Liquidmetal Partners (CLP) program that ensures the company’s unique requirements are being met. Involvement in the partnership program involves rigorous testing and certification for each member, all leading to a global network of companies advancing the commercialization of amorphous alloy technology. The company also works with a number of suppliers and other commercial companies, as well as government agencies.

The potential of the application over a range of industries has not gone unnoticed by investors, and, on October 27, 2016, Liquidmetal Technologies completed a $63.4 million equity raise (http://dtn.fm/q0Xtz) in conjunction with Liquidmetal Technology Limited, a Hong Kong company owned by Professor Lugee Li.

September was National Responsible Dog Ownership Month, an initiative started by the American Kennel Club with the purpose of helping pet owners raise healthy and happy dogs by making sure they are aware of all the responsibilities dog ownership entails, from budgeting your furry friend’s health care to making sure it has proper identification and giving it enough love and attention. As a leading provider of innovative pet products, OurPet’s Company (OTCQX: OPCO) is dedicated to supporting responsible dog and cat ownership through its unique line of intelligent products designed to offer enhanced care and monitoring of your pet’s health.

To raise awareness of the fact that getting a pet comes with a series of obligations, the American Kennel Club has put together a list of basic responsibilities a dog owner must be ready for – requirements that are indeed the sign of responsible pet ownership regardless of whether your new family member is canine or feline. Some of these basics include regular veterinarian exams to make sure your dog’s overall health is good, sticking with your pet’s vaccination schedule to prevent possible severe diseases such as rabies or parvovirus, ensuring a healthy and balanced diet for your dog, keeping it properly hydrated and safe from the elements, and also making sure your dog has proper identification. By following these very simple guidelines, all dog owners can make sure their pets will be happy and healthy for many years to come.

With the OurPets® Intelligent Pet Care™ product line (http://dtn.fm/1O31j), pet owners will find it easier than ever to monitor their furry friends’ behavior and health, enabling them to develop a stronger bond for more complete care. The Intelligent Pet Care™ line is the first that offers a complete range of smart pet health monitoring products by incorporating Bluetooth® technology into everyday pet care. Owners will be able to keep in touch with their pets and be aware of any changes in their behavior or daily routines via the IntelligentPetLink™ smartphone app, available for download for both Android and iOS systems.

The SmartLink™ Waterer – Intelligent Water Fountain (http://dtn.fm/5j5Nw) and SmartLink™ Feeder – Intelligent Pet Bowl (http://dtn.fm/83Esn) are, for instance, crucial for keeping your cat or dog well hydrated and properly fed with fresh water and food, in the right amount. This eliminates the needs of leaving out a bowl of water or food while you’re away, which can be a problem if you have multiple pets and you would have no way of controlling how much food each of them is getting. The SmartLink™ Waterer ensures that your pet always has access to fresh water by sensing when it is near and dispensing clean, filtered water in a waterfall design. The water fountain’s Bluetooth® module then sends regular updates to the owner’s smartphone about their pet’s drinking behaviors, water temperature and more. The SmartLink™ Feeder works in a similar way, dispensing food only when detecting a particular tag that can be attached to your cat or dog’s collar. This system is ideal for a pet on a particular diet that requires meals on specific intervals. All of this information is then communicated to the owner’s phone through the IntelligentPetLink™ app.

The Intelligent Pet Care™ product line also includes the SmartScoop® – Intelligent Litter Box (http://dtn.fm/6LeLV), the SmartLink™ Tag (http://dtn.fm/X9EyX), and the SmartLink™ Gateway – WiFi Pet Care Connector (http://dtn.fm/0IN6p), which converts Bluetooth® signals into long-range WiFi signals to allow monitoring of pets’ activities outside the house.

Before the opening bell, Singlepoint, Inc. (OTC: SING) was announced as a featured company on this week’s episode of MoneyTV with Donald Baillargeon. MoneyTV is an internationally syndicated television program about “money and what makes it happen.” The show includes informative interviews with company CEOs, offering prospective investors insight into their operations and outlooks for the future.

To view this week’s program, visit www.MoneyTV.net

In the interview, Greg Lambrecht, chief executive officer of Singlepoint, gave shareholders some additional insight into the latest news from the company, including its ongoing audit. In recent weeks, Singlepoint has been moving forward with corporate audits ahead of a planned uplisting to the OTCQB Venture Marketplace in the near future. With the rapid approach of the end of 2016, Singlepoint, along with Houston-based PCAOB firm MaloneBailey, has made the decision to alter its strategy in order to better position itself for success following its uplisting.

“As we got closer to 2017, our auditors have advised us that, at this point, we should go ahead and audit 2016, too,” Lambrecht stated in the interview. “That’s what we’re doing.”

In addition to discussing the ongoing audit, Lambrecht took the time to hit on some of the highpoints of Singlepoint’s current operations, including its new marketing partnership with RedFin. As one of the processors currently integrated with Singlepoint’s Pay-by-Text™ and Text2Bid technologies, the companies already have a working relationship. However, through this new sales and marketing program, RedFin will identify organizations from among its base of more than 150,000 clients, specifically faith-based organizations and non-profits, that will benefit from Singlepoint’s payment products.

“We’re really excited to take our RedFin relationship beyond just a technical integration relationship into a sales and marketing relationship,” Lambrecht continued. “We expect to see a lot of new deals coming down the pipes from that.”

The interview concluded with a few words about the daily fantasy sports market, which Singlepoint entered through its acquisition of a minority stake in DraftFury earlier this year. The daily fantasy sports industry generated roughly $2.6 billion in entry fees during 2015, and that figure is expected to reach $14.4 billion by 2020, according to Eilers Research. With the start of the NBA season earlier this week, Singlepoint is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this market performance.

“This is the sweet spot where we’ve got football, which is almost 75 percent of fantasy sports players, and also the NBA,” he concluded. “This is the time of year when people are playing, and the increases from year to year are evident.”

Earlier today, Agora Holdings, Inc. (OTC: AGHI), parent company of Geegle Media, announced plans to update its FRAME social media management software in order to streamline production capabilities for business users. By integrating its TECH workflow management tool with FRAME, the company aims to develop a comprehensive business management software solution. This planned move will effectively transition frame from the private market to a unique “do it yourself” tool that helps small and medium-sized businesses manage and monitor workflow, workforce, warehouses and billing while reducing overall costs.

“We are excited to introduce new features to our TECH platform, specifically as it relates to our business users,” Danail Terziev, chief executive officer of Agora, stated in this morning’s news release. “The updated version is laden with rich reporting modules that helps management to move company in right direction.”

Originally launched in September of this year, FRAME differentiates itself from the competition by offering free use for non-commercial users. In an effort to provide the best experience possible to both free and paid users, FRAME also offers an extensive reporting system that allows users to monitor the performance metrics of each of their posts quickly and easily, giving them an opportunity to more actively engage with followers, friends and other target audiences.

FRAME is currently available for Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) and Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) users, and Agora has already announced plans to integrate additional social media networks into the platform moving forward. The app can be downloaded for Android devices from Google Play or by visiting Frame.ms.

In addition to its ongoing development of the FRAME platform, Agora has also announced a number of other projects that are currently underway. In a news release issued last month, the company highlighted its development pipeline, which includes a variety of consumer portals such as GeegLe.TV, 1000Salads.com, LobbyTV.ca and jobs-quest.com. This morning’s update included news of yet another project currently under development by Agora, an email platform. According to the news release, the new platform, GeegLe.Me, is expected to roll-out at the beginning of next year. Similar to FRAME, GeegLe.Me will be free for personal use and paid for business.

Earlier today, eXp World Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: EXPI) announced the addition of Eric Burch, principal of the independent brokerage Burch & Co. Real Estate, to the Agent-Owned Cloud Brokerage®. As part of this move, Burch transitioned his entire team of 17 agents and brokers, which was ranked the number one team in Northeast Arkansas in 2015 in terms of transaction volume, to eXp Realty. With this announcement, eXp Realty has now added three leading real estate teams from markets across the country over the past two weeks.

“Burch & Co. is our heart, our baby,” Eric Burch stated in this morning’s news release. “We wouldn’t be making the transition if we didn’t firmly believe that eXp represents the very best option for us as a team and as individual real estate professionals. With eXp, we can provide better service to our clients and, importantly, the opportunity for true ownership to our agents.”

Burch was formally introduced to the eXp Realty community during the company’s weekly leadership meeting this morning. To view these meetings, visit the company’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/user/eXpRealty.

eXp Realty has been in a period of rapid growth since the beginning of 2016, expanding its family of agents and brokers by more than 120 percent since January 1. Earlier this month, the company added its 1,900th agent, and management has already set its sights on a goal of 2,200 agents by the end of this year. Through the recent additions of top real estate teams such as Sacramento’s Brent Gove team and Darren James Real Estate Experts of Baton Rouge, as well as Miguel Herrera – the top international luxury agent in all of South Texas, eXp Realty is demonstrating that the value proposition presented by the Agent-Owned Cloud Brokerage® is unmatched in the industry.

“eXp provides top teams and brokerage owners with the opportunity to expand into new markets without additional capital requirements and an agent experience for their members that is collaborative, interpersonal and enriching,” Vikki Bartholomae, president of eXp Realty, stated in the news release. “We welcome Eric and his team to Agent Ownership and look forward to extending that same opportunity to other entrepreneurial brokerage owners, agents, and teams of agents in all markets.”

Since its launch in October 2009, eXp Realty has leveraged an aggressive revenue sharing program that pays agents a percentage of gross commission income earned by fellow real estate professionals whom they attract into the company. In 2013, EXPI transitioned into being a public company before implementing an innovative equity sharing initiative the next year. When combined with the company’s collaborative training tools and immersive, 3-D cloud office environment, this equity sharing model has proven extremely successful, as eXp Realty’s rates of growth and agent retention have greatly accelerated in recent years.

Earlier today, Dominovas Energy Corporation (OTCQB: DNRG) announced that its chief operating officer and president of its fuel cell division, Michael Watkins, recently gave a successful presentation to the Central Technical Services Department of the University of Johannesburg. The presentation, which took place on October 25, aimed to offer university officials additional insight into Dominovas Energy’s findings from the Energy Solutions Survey it circulated at the university last month. The goal of the survey was to identify the current state of electricity use at the university, including current consumption and efficiency metrics, while identifying areas with potential cost savings. This is a very important next step in the process of the Company having already announced it entered into talks with University officials a couple of months ago to become one of the primary energy suppliers to the University system.

“The systematic approach of Dominovas Energy has allowed us to better understand the overall ‘state’ of our energy usage that now supports our quantifying the ‘true’ cost of electricity and thermal energy generation at the University,” Brent Africa, director of utilities at the University of Johannesburg, stated in the news release. “The University is currently prioritizing its efforts to manage energy efficiency, as well as minimize the overall cost of energy delivery to its campuses. Dominovas Energy’s analysis of the Energy Survey and the presentation of the results could not have come at a better time to the University.”

Leveraging the findings of its Energy Solutions Survey, Dominovas Energy will now structure a power provider agreement (PPA) based on the analysis and current understanding of the energy requirements of the University of Johannesburg. This submittal will support the installation of a multi-megawatt base load power generation installation at the university in the future. Following Watkins’s presentation, Brent Africa noted that the benefits of installing Dominovas Energy’s proprietary RUBICON™ solid oxide fuel cell technology, relative to true cost savings, are “undeniable.” He went on to say that the university and Dominovas Energy have a “true opportunity to collaborate on a plan of action that could lead to the deployment of the RUBICON™ system.”

Dominovas Energy’s recent progress toward the installation of its RUBICON™ technology at the University of Johannesburg comes as the company continues to advance its overall plans for entering existing energy markets across the African continent. Earlier this month, Dominovas Energy, in collaboration with joint venture partner Mponeng Holdings [PTY] LTD, announced the submittal of a formal request for proposal for the Ekurhuleni Energy Generation Program in Johannesburg, South Africa. If awarded, this project would include the installation of a 20 megawatt RUBICON™ system for the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality.

With more people across the U.S. faced with the unpleasant fact that healthcare and pharmaceutical costs are exceptionally high and continuing to grow, KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC: KBIO) is taking a step closer to positive change with new, innovative, and responsible pricing models.

The company is leading a new way of thinking regarding how medicines are priced, and how to tackle neglected and rare diseases. KBIO is advancing treatments and medicines for patients through innovative and responsible business models, leading by example with concrete operational changes, such as its Responsible Pricing Model.

This model was recently recognized in an article entitled ‘Will Investors Reward Drugmakers That Limit Price Increases?’ by Medical Marketing & Media (http://dtn.fm/B2wha). The article highlights the problems that healthcare systems are facing, with the Epipen as an example, voicing a common professional medical investor fear that “this parade of pricing scandals makes us look like a pack of scoundrels. Sure, the EpiPen is a marvel. But that doesn’t mean it should be unaffordable! For a small number of patients, Daraprim can be life-saving. But that shouldn’t mean you should hike its price overnight by 50-fold!”

The article continues with an explanation of KaloBios’ new incentive to confine its revenue expectations to a “reasonable return.” With this in mind, KaloBios believes that, to achieve real transformation in the way the healthcare system operates as well as among patients and stakeholders, transparency and collaboration are key.

KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is in the business of developing therapeutics for the treatment of cancer in the United States. The company’s Responsible Pricing Program means it is affordable to patients while maintaining a reasonable and transparent profit margin. KBIO does not make arbitrary price increases on its products, and keeps a close eye on inflation and the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

In the past 10 years, the number of people playing fantasy sports has grown from 18 million to a huge 57.4 million. What started as a niche hobby has now become a competitive game allowing fantasy sports to become a multi-billion dollar industry. An article from STATS (http://dtn.fm/Vhf1t) that pulls together data from the Fantasy Sports Trade Association (FSTA) shows that the number of people playing Fantasy Sports increased by 20% in the U.S. and 18% in Canada between 2014 and 2015.

The fantasy sports industry is one of the fastest growing in the U.S., and, according to the FSTA (http://dtn.fm/jo22O), this industry will continue with its steady growth thanks to mobile devices. IBISWorld (http://dtn.fm/vKQ4q) had this to say: “Over the past 10 years, fantasy sports services have experienced explosive absolute growth of 241.0%. Fantasy sports service firms will continue cashing in on the general move toward more mobile content, which will help bring revenue up at an annualized rate of 7.6% over the five years to 2018.”

But, for organizations such as publicly-traded holding company Singlepoint, Inc. (OTC: SING), with its recent investment in daily fantasy sports company DraftFury, the focus is about more than new mobile devices and potential new games. With the start of the NBA season on October 25, 2016, predictions are out and the population is making its choices for the coming 25-week season. Companies such as DraftFury are on track to offer their customers the best daily fantasy sports experience they can. The company, which offers skill-based daily fantasy contests for the NBA and other sports leagues, was partly acquired by Singlepoint, Inc. in May 2016.

Singlepoint believes this purchase was a great opportunity thanks to DraftFury’s ability to provide a superior gaming experience for users and its unique, seven-level referral program. The company believes this acquisition will not only build shareholder value in the short term but also create exciting new relationships in the long term. Singlepoint, Inc. announced that it is excited to be part of DraftFury’s growth, given the combination of DraftFury’s sophisticated seven-level referral program, which has enabled it to sign up over 1,800 marketing affiliates, and the start of the NBA season.
