Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Vivos Therapeutics Inc. is an emerging global leader in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a debilitating condition affecting nearly 1 billion people worldwide. The company utilizes proprietary, ground-breaking technology, a proven go-to-market strategy, and a powerful executive team dedicated to changing the face of health care by helping people of all ages properly breathe and sleep.

At the core of Vivos’ mission to eradicate OSA is the Vivos System®, a revolutionary clinical breakthrough in the treatment of sleep apnea caused by craniofacial anatomy development. The Vivos System® multidisciplinary treatment protocol involves collaboration between physicians, specially-trained dentists who have completed advanced training in craniofacial sleep medicine, and other ancillary health care providers.

In support of its growth strategy, Vivos has established FDA-approved and registered manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Canada and Asia.

Market & Technology Overview

Craniofacial developmental deficiencies, such as underdeveloped upper and lower jaws, are the leading cause of OSA. According to a 2019 analysis from researchers at the University of California, San Diego, an estimated 81 million adults in North and South America suffer from moderate to severe OSA. The United States has the highest amount of these patients, with approximately 54 million adults affected, according to the report.

Registered with the FDA as a Specification Developer, Vivos develops and markets a number of oral appliances. Its technology represents the first non-surgical, non-invasive and cost-effective solution for the estimated hundreds of millions of people globally who suffer from OSA.

Vivos integrates its specially designed, customized appliances into a patient-specific, multi-disciplinary clinical protocol, giving trained dental and medical providers the tools and roadmap needed to address certain craniofacial conditions that have proven to be associated with sleep-disordered breathing—including OSA.

The system’s treatment protocol involves collaboration between physicians, specially trained dentists who have received advanced training in craniofacial sleep medicine, and additional health care providers. Vivos-trained clinicians can be found in almost every major city in the U.S. and in many countries throughout the world. The company’s oral appliances have shown to be effective in over 15,000 patients successfully treated worldwide by approximately 1,350 trained dentists.

A New Paradigm in Sleep Medicine

Vivos’ proprietary system poses the potential to be the biggest breakthrough in OSA treatment since CPAP.

Designed to promote correct growth and development of the hard and soft tissues surrounding and compromising the oral cavity, nasal cavity, upper and lower jaws, and other tissues which comprise and shape the human airway. The system uses Pneumopedics®, the natural process induced by Vivos biomimetic technology to widen and expand the patient’s airway, allowing for proper breathing through the nose, effectively addressing the root cause of OSA.

This patented technology offers benefits over CPAP and other oral appliances in its ability to achieve results relatively quickly—in about 18 to 24 months or less—at a lower cost, and without the need for lifetime intervention in most patients. It is believed to be the first effective, non-surgical, non-invasive and potentially long-lasting solution to eradicating OSA.

Strategic Partnership

A cooperative agreement with Benco Dental, the largest family-owned dental distributor in the United States, broadens the reach of the Vivo System. This partnership ensures that all dentists in the United States have access to Vivo’s patented system, on par with Vivo’s vision to provide clinicians with the tools to provide the best alternative solution to treat OSA and well-aligned with Benco’s commitment to evolve the dentistry industry by empowering clinicians with innovative treatment options.

• SRAX’s BIGtoken platform gains relevance on heels of renewed focus on data-driven marketing
• BIGtoken recently launched various new initiatives, including use of sponsored surveys, Lightning Insights, sponsored actions and more
• Kraft’s recent BIGtoken-powered marketing campaign enjoyed 6.6% return on ad spend, far outpacing competing advertising campaigns launched by rivals
• The Publicis Groupe published its second study using BIGtoken’s Lightning Insights tool, highlighting platform’s quick, efficient ability to generate customer insights

In late 2014, UK cell provider Three introduced its 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 (http://ibn.fm/6nIhv). The ad campaign featured people ‘spamming’ their friends with their holiday snaps, a concept which resulted from the company’s costly and painstaking investigation into people’s behavior while on vacation – a form of research which SRAX Inc.’s (NASDAQ: SRAX) proprietary BIGtoken platform has now appropriated into an efficient and accessible service offering. The rise of data-driven marketing and the ability to personalize and launch targeted ad campaigns has become critical in improving ad content quality and driving customer engagement. Moreover, it has also grown in significance as a result of a renewed focus by cost-conscious marketers in to their return on ad spends (ROAS). With the use of SRAX’s BIGtoken offering, companies are now able to tap into the platform’s 16.7 million subscribers in an instantaneous fashion – deriving invaluable and oftentimes otherwise inaccessible customer insights and feedback quickly and efficiently.

The BIGtoken platform was initially conceptualized as a means of enabling customers to monetize their data by marketing its access to interested counterparties. Advertisers were able to receive high-quality, targeted data while users were able to control what data was sold to whom, gaining compensation in return. However, the current reach and abilities of the platform far exceed its original intentions. Over the past two quarters, SRAX has launched a number of new initiatives within its proprietary offering, including the dissemination of sponsored surveys, Lightning Insights, insights-driven media as well as sponsored actions – all of which have contributed to the platform’s dramatic increase in monetization in recent months.

Leading up to the 2019 holiday season, global food & beverage giant Kraft Heinz Co. approached SRAX for assistance with its newest marketing campaign, one which would be tailored towards women located in a certain area and professing specific interests. Through the use of over 100 proprietary data points, SRAX’s BIGtoken platform was able to formulate a target audience for Kraft’s campaign which met the company’s desired criteria. The campaign was a notable success, resulting in a 6.6% ROAS for Kraft (http://ibn.fm/M6bc2). Kraft’s marketing campaign success was even more remarkable given that it was run concurrently with two other advertising initiatives, led by Walmart and Evite respectively, both of which failed to produce positive returns. Within an extremely competitive consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry, BIGtoken’s insights were instrumental in contributing to the marketing campaign’s success and driving new consumer activations.

“BIGtoken has evolved from a consumer opt-in data platform for advertising activation to a full-service marketing stack,” said co-founder of BIGtoken Kristoffer Nelson. (http://ibn.fm/cneW5). “Beginning with audience insights, marketers can discover profound insights about their target audience to activate against. From here, new insights and learnings are applied inflight to improve performance. And once the campaign concludes, locations and sales measurements are applied to further learn, optimize and iterate.”

However, BIGtoken’s abilities have not been limited to determining target audiences. During the COVID-19 outbreak, marketers and data analysts found themselves blindsided, unable to gain insights into their end consumers’ rapidly changing behavior as a significant proportion of their conventional tools were rendered largely useless by nation-wide ‘shelter at home’ orders.

Publicis Groupe, one of the world’s largest advertising firms, seized the opportunity to carry out a unique study utilizing BIGtoken’s Lightning Insights service, examining consumption patterns and customer behavior surrounding the Mother’s Day celebrations in May (http://ibn.fm/b3uRP). The study found that 84% of respondents had celebrated Mother’s Day 2020 in some way, with over 68% of respondents sending gifts, gift cars, or food to their loved ones – the majority of whom chose to do so through online means.

Marketers are increasingly able to use BIGtoken to gain rapid and 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 potential consumers (http://ibn.fm/6y2Vx), SRAX’s BIGtoken platform and the valuable insights generated by its captive subscriber base could find itself in greater demand than ever anticipated.

• The used-car segment is twice as big as the new-car market, and digitally savvy consumers are looking for a faster, more transparent purchasing process
• Used-car buyers tend to research a new purchase online and rely less on in-person salespeople
• PowerBand Solutions’ cloud-based platform is a reliable online alternative to the dealership experience, offering users complete control over the purchasing process by streamlining the interactions among all participants and eliminating unnecessary middlemen

The automotive industry market has been in a state of flux, with every aspect experiencing disruption from driverless vehicles to artificial intelligence. Customer expectations for the market have been raised as technological innovation advances. Digitally savvy customers, who have come to expect personalized, flexible and seamless interactions during the purchase experience, are already changing how automobiles are bought and sold – especially when it comes to used vehicles. Platforms like PowerBand Solutions Inc. (TSX.V: PBX) (OTCQB: PWWBF) (FRA: 1ZVA) meet this growing demand for flexible and seamless interaction, enabling users to buy or sell cars with never-seen-before ease and efficiency.

According to McKinsey & Company research, the digital revolution is disrupting used-car retailing by focusing not only on technology but also on the importance of the customer experience. Online car providers are already empowering digitally-savvy customers in this respect, offering a range of complete services that enhance the purchasing experience (http://ibn.fm/dGhVf).

More specifically, online providers offer extensive vehicle data and effective search tools to find the right car (desired by 64 percent of buyers), complete end-to-end purchasing capabilities (desired by 59 percent of buyers), and unique delivery options (desired by 28 percent of online buyers).

According to the McKinsey research, titled ‘Used cars, new platforms: Accelerating sales in a digitally disrupted market’, used-car buyers spend about 40 percent more time researching online during the buying process than new-car buyers. Part of the reason for this might be that only 8 percent of used-car buyers rely solely on in-person salespeople when purchasing a vehicle; the rest make decisions based on their own prior research. Used-car buyers expect a faster, more transparent, and more convenient process. Introducing digital tools to simplify and shorten the process will improve customer satisfaction and insurance penetration rates.

As more used-car customers expect the same seamless digital service they receive throughout other retail markets, used-car retailers will adapt to remain competitive and protect profits, as well as finance and insurance margins. To do so, retailers must find opportunities to leverage the digital-oriented nature of used-car buyers and their desire for advanced technology. Adapting to the new demands will be beneficial to car traders and dealerships, as the used-car market is growing exponentially in the United States and is already twice the size of the new-car segment. According to McKinsey, Americans buy 39.4 million used cars each year, compared to 17.3 million (data from 2018), and the trend is likely to continue over the next five years.

The results of the McKinsey research confirm the trend of a rising demand for online vehicle trading alternatives. According to the ‘Digital Commerce 360 Online Vehicle Shopper 2019’ survey, conducted among 1,089 buyers, 49% are willing to purchase a new vehicle entirely online (http://ibn.fm/ETcN4). According to Frost & Sullivan, consumers may purchase as many as 1.3 million vehicles annually online as soon as 2035 (http://ibn.fm/xtLMq), and nearly 90% of Americans report they dislike the car dealership experience, noting they feel anxious or uncomfortable in dealership settings.

PowerBand is positioned to capitalize on these trends by disrupting the antiquated business model of the automotive industry, replacing distrust and confusion with transparency, access to information and ease of use. Developed by a team of experienced automotive, technology and finance experts, PowerBand Solutions’ platform empowers the consumer to self-direct a transaction, by streamlining the interactions among all participants and eliminating unnecessary middlemen. The platform allows consumers to sell, buy, lease, auction and finance vehicles with never-seen-before simplicity, speed and cost-efficiency from their smart phones or other devices, irrespective of their location.

The company is currently rolling out its platform in the United States and to this end, it has partnered with Source Digital, a pioneer in immersive commerce through the use of digital media platforms and video content on the internet (http://ibn.fm/zt4Na). This unique campaign will use Source’s patented technology to promote PowerBand’s platform inside popular video content with various channels and influencers in the U.S.

• Revenues for Q1 2020 up 46% year over year
• Gross profit of 75% shows viability of business model
• Close to 12,000 independent pharmacies now using online marketplace

Stellar results recently reported by Trxade Group Inc. (NASDAQ: MEDS) are an indication that, increasingly, independent pharmacies, drug distributors and manufacturers are turning to the company’s web-based purchasing platform. At $2.2 million, revenues for Q1 2020 were up 46% year over year, with gross profit coming in at an extraordinary 74.4%. Now that more than 11,900 pharmacies are using the marketplace, Trxade seems set to fulfil its mission of signing most of the nation’s 24,000 independent pharmacies. If so, the company’s combined annual purchasing power of over $92 billion would make Trxade the nation’s premier marketplace for America’s vital pharmaceutical supplies.

Both for patients and pharmacists, the pharmaceutical marketplace that Trxade provides is a welcome adjunct to the healthcare sector. The online platform not only identifies the best available prices for prescription drugs, a constant concern of patients, but helps pharmacists avoid negative reimbursement costs, which reduce their profit margins. The fact that close to half of the nation’s independent pharmacies are already using the Trxade marketplace appears to be proof that the company is offering a superior solution to reduction of margins due to Prescription Benefit Managers (PBMs) via cost containment and better pharmaceutical accessibility.

Once unknown in the healthcare financing landscape, PBMs now dominate the U.S. health sector. Many PBMs have revenues that exceed those of the top pharmaceutical manufacturers. For example, Express Scripts reported revenue of $100 billion in 2017, about twice as much as Pfizer, which is the largest pharmaceutical company in the world. Incredible as it may seem, the distribution of pharmaceuticals is a much more lucrative business than the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. Indeed, distribution margins also exceed those earned by pharmacies at the retail level.

This isn’t the way it was supposed to work. The introduction of PBMs, third-party administrators of prescription drug programs, was intended, among other things, to reduce the purchase costs of drugs by consolidating their buying power. However, instead of driving costs down, PBMs appear to be doing the opposite. Over the past decade, independent pharmacies have experienced declining margins, due mostly to rising fees from these very same PBMs.

Now, however, Trxade is giving pharmacies a real opportunity to actually reduce purchase costs, along with other benefits. The integrated pharmaceutical services company provides its web-based purchasing platform for transactions between independent pharmacies and drug distributors. Known as the Trxade Exchange, the platform provides small pharmacies with access to the wider pharmaceutical distribution network, allowing them to search for and view products from manufacturers, buying groups and wholesalers on a real-time, continuous basis. In addition, through the Trxade E-Hub software, users of the Trxade Exchange become members of a network of associated pharmacies, as well as gain access to warehousing and drug-delivery services.

• POAI boasts unique historical database documenting actual drug responses of tumors – the largest in the world with over 150,000 tumors across 137 types
• Drug discovery funding for subsidiary Helomics planned through relationships with large pharmaceutical companies
• Company planning to acquire two new biological firms in the precision medicine space

Predictive Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ: POAI) is a knowledge-driven medicine company focused on applying data and artificial intelligence (AI) to cancer personalized medicine and drug discovery. In a recent interview (http://ibn.fm/fKe3u), POAI director and CEO Dr. Carl Schwartz discussed the acquisition of two biological firms, along with details about the company’s proprietary Helomics database. Comprised of hundreds of thousands of tumors across numerous cancer types, this key asset gives the company a significant advantage over its competitors in the precision medicine industry.

“Predictive’s major asset is its Helomics subsidiary and its proprietary database of over 150,000 cancer tumors covering over 137 types of cancers, with over 30,000 tumors related to ovarian cancer, which is sort of our specialty,” Schwartz stated of the database, which was created as a result of Helomics clinical testing of drug response and biomarker profiling of tumors ordered by a nationwide network of oncologists. “This is the largest inventory of its kind in the world.”

“The results of this tumor profiling were reported to the referring oncologist and used as a guide to individualizing the therapy of that patient,” Schwartz explained.

As part of its research into building AI-driven predictive models of tumor drug response and outcome (http://ibn.fm/kDL1Q), Helomics is generating additional, deeper genomic profiling of tumors in its collection and coupling this with a ‘reach back,’ to the originating oncologist to obtain the eventual outcomes of the patients over an extended period of time. The retrospective project with UPMC-Magee is one of the first such examples of this (http://ibn.fm/93NFU).

“I want to strongly emphasize that Helomics has a significant competitive advantage in obtaining outcome data via ‘reach back’,” stated Schwartz. “Unlike other companies that have to wait for up to 5 years or more for the patient to go through treatment to get quality outcome data, we have historical data from 15 plus years of clinical testing available now,” he emphasized, referring to the proprietary database and AI-driven predictive models that are of particular interest to pharmaceutical companies for drug discovery, giving POAI a significant advantage over other competitors in the precision medicine space.

POAI aims to fund the research activities of Helomics through a path similar to that taken by Foundation Medicine and its collaborative research relationship with Roche Pharmaceuticals. As its Helomics subsidiary continues its CancerQuest 2020 project with UPMC Magee Women’s Hospital, it is also collaborating with Interpace Diagnostics to build an AI-driven model of thyroid cancer and with ChemImage to investigate novel prostate cancer diagnostics.

The company has also invested in TumorGenesis, a second wholly owned subsidiary, in addition to engaging in the process of acquiring two other biological firms: Soluble Therapeutics and BioDtech.

The details discussed in the interview demonstrate POAI’s ability to validate its process, Schwartz noted, mentioning the company’s intent to “go to the pharma industry for major funding for development of AI-driven predictive models based on our extensive database.”

“We’re pretty excited about this. We think we’re going to finally get to the top of the heap here very shortly,” he concluded.

POAI is bringing precision medicine, or tailored medical treatment using the individual characteristics of each patient, to the treatment of cancer. Through its Helomics division, the company leverages its unique, clinically validated patient derived (PDx) smart tumor profiling platform to provide oncologists with a roadmap to help individualize therapy. In addition, the company is leveraging artificial intelligence and its proprietary database of over 150,000 cancer cases tumors to build AI-driven models of tumor drug repose to improve outcomes for the patients of today and tomorrow.

• Faced with a dramatic drop in business, many dealerships have started providing customers with the possibility of conducting the entire vehicle purchasing process online
• Buyers can pick the car they want and even have it delivered for a test drive at their location
• The approach aligns with a growing automotive e-commerce trend, with consumers likely to purchase as many as 1.3 million vehicles annually online by 2035
• PowerBand’s cloud-based auto trading platform offers a convenient, efficient and safe option for buyers and dealers to buy, sell, lease and trade vehicles online, eliminating unnecessary middlemen

The coronavirus and technology have had the unexpected outcome of making the car buying process more efficient. Instead of browsing cars at a dealership, customers can find their dream car online and can complete the entire purchasing process online, from filling an application to requesting a car for a test drive to paying. This way of trading vehicles is fully in line with PowerBand Solutions Inc.’s (TSX.V: PBX) (OTCQB: PWWBF) (FRA: 1ZVA) vision for automotive sales and purchases even before the pandemic hit – a streamlined interaction among participants without additional fees and unnecessary middlemen.

According to a recent McKinsey & Company report (http://ibn.fm/nh9jt), “The digital revolution is disrupting used-car retailing—for the better.” According to the report, “Online providers are beginning to dilute traditional used-car dealers’ positions and drive growth by empowering digitally savvy customers via three major capabilities:

• Complete end-to-end purchasing capabilities (desired by 59 percent of buyers),
• Extensive vehicle data and photos, along with effective search tools (desired by 64 percent of buyers), and
• Unique delivery options (desired by 28 percent of online buyers).”

The growing demand for online auto trading alternatives comes as ecommerce has already been booming in the industry in the last few years, changing the ways in which manufacturers, dealers, digital car sellers and other sell used and new cars. According to the Digital Commerce 360 Online Vehicle Shopper 2019 survey, conducted among 1,089 buyers, 49% are willing to purchase a new vehicle entirely online (http://ibn.fm/a8Msa).

Automotive ecommerce has generated online sales of approx. $14.6 billion in 2018 and has plenty of room for growth, having the potential to take up a sizable piece of the total automotive transaction market, which reached $1.1 trillion in 2019, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce (http://ibn.fm/vmAE3). The compound annual growth of digital sales was 7.61% from 2015-19 compared to 1.73% for total sales. According to Frost & Sullivan, this trend is likely to continue and consumers may purchase as many as 1.3 million vehicles annually online as soon as 2035 (http://ibn.fm/jWDBk).

PowerBand Solutions has been one of the first companies to embrace this trend.

• Uber Technologies has used its open-access model for facilitating transit to revolutionize how the world’s citizens move around, operating its ride-sharing solutions in 67 countries
• The company recently introduced a pricing alternative that allows riders to pay for multiple stops at a single, hourly rate in select metropolitan cities beginning June 2
• The hourly rate replaces a model in which riders had to select new service after arriving at each destination, complicating the plans of those customers who needed to complete essential errands
• The new option is a timely response to the disruption of public transportation by forces including the deadly coronavirus pandemic, as well as the upheaval during rioting and social unrest in response to recent events within the United States

Pioneering transportation facilitator Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE: UBER) is developing a new errand-running option for riders that shows the company’s responsiveness to customer needs at a time when numerous market disruption forces are challenging businesses’ efforts to keep operations in motion.

Uber’s announcement that it will allow riders to select a single $50 per hour rate with multiple stops in select cities (http://ibn.fm/HFj1v) provides an alternative for public transportation customers who’ve found their routines disrupted by daunting forces such as the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic and recent rioting in many metropolitan cities.

“At Uber, we are always thinking about how we can make people’s lives easier by developing products that solve new challenges,” the company stated in a recent news release about family-centric changes to its meal delivery services (http://ibn.fm/rMlc6).

Uber has allowed riders to request multiple destinations in one trip since 2017 but it was previously necessary for them to re-request a new trip after visiting each location if they wanted to run errands to multiple stops, according to a report on the decision in The Verge (http://ibn.fm/pIrFu).

The single fee for multiple stops service rolled out June 2 in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Seattle, Tacoma, Tampa Bay and Washington, D.C. It matches the riders with a driver who has a more spacious and newer model of vehicle that is eligible for Uber Comfort, according to the company.

Uber has introduced several new initiatives during recent weeks to support its own drivers as well as members of the general public attempting to continue performing essential tasks during the pandemic, which has seen a highly infectious and often deadly or debilitating virus spread throughout populations around the globe since the beginning of the year (http://ibn.fm/mS2px).

The company provided masks, hand sanitizer and cleaning supplies for its drivers, financial support for drivers who become sick, and information on navigating the varied regulations for public relief under the different governments where Uber’s drivers operate (http://ibn.fm/2MU2c). Riders are also required to wear masks, and drivers limit the number of passengers allowed per vehicle.

Recent unrest as a result of widespread anger over a black man’s death while in police custody led to the shutdown of public transportation in many of the United States’ metro areas, further disrupting transit (http://ibn.fm/uhiwH) while directing ridership to Uber drivers providing essential services (http://ibn.fm/Nh9Je).

Uber’s director of rider operations, Niraj Patel, said the new hourly multi-stop rate is “an additional earnings opportunity for drivers” in the company’s announcement, noting the customer will be asked to select how long the trip will last before confirming the ride and will end up paying for the time selected even if the trip actually takes less time.

Customers will also be charged a per-minute rate if their trips go over the time limit, or a per-mile rate for trips that go over the mileage limit. The company first tested the strategy in countries like Australia, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, and plans to extend it to additional cities in the United States during the coming weeks as it determines the response from riders.

• POAI addresses pressing need for a multi-omic approach in field of precision medicine
• Global precision medicine market is expected to reach total market value of approximately $84 billion by 2026
• Predictive Oncology’s ‘claim to fame’ is its inventory of over 150,000 tumors covering over 137 types of cancer, with over 30,000 related to ovarian cancer

In the burgeoning world of precision medicine, Predictive Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ: POAI) appears ideally positioned to address one of the most pressing problems in the industry: the need for a multi-omic approach to precision therapy that may offer markedly improved patient outcomes over just genomics alone. POAI, a leader in the cancer precision-medicine field, has a “major asset” in its Helomics subsidiary, which specializes in ovarian cancer. Through its unique patient derived (PDx) platform, which tests the drug response and biomarker profile of the patient’s own tumor, and its vast database of historical tumor profiles, Helomics provides clinical decision support tools today to assist oncologists in individualizing cancer treatment.

Precision medicine is based on the idea of customizing health care, making medical decisions and selecting treatments, practices and prescriptions that are tailored to each individual patient rather than a recommended general treatment approach. A recent Acumen Research and Reporting article noted that the global precision medicine market is expected to reach total market value of approximately $84 billion by 2026 with anticipated CAGR growth of around 10% in terms of revenue between 2019 and 2026 (http://ibn.fm/vufVR).

That growth hasn’t gone unnoticed. Big pharma has invested heavily in precision medicine, focusing its efforts on genomics and “big data” to understand each patient’s genome in order to deliver targeted therapeutics. “Success rates for these targeted therapies are low, and uptake in clinical practice is patchy,” POAI reports on its website (http://ibn.fm/MywNK), noting a growing realization that “just genomics is not enough to achieve the promise of personalized therapeutics. A clear need has emerged for a multi-omic approach that may offer a much greater chance of success. However, few comprehensive, multi-omic data sets exist, and such data is difficult to access quickly as it is both costly and time consuming to initiate prospective data collection — especially in cancer.”

Multiomics, or the use of multiple omics technologies (i.e., genome, proteome, transcriptome, epigenome, microbiome, etc.) to study disease in a more comprehensive manner has significant implications in the world of health care – and Predictive Oncology owns powerful data and technology that may make the company a clear frontrunner in the precision medicine space.

“Predictive’s major asset is its subsidiary Helomics, and its claim to fame is its inventory of over 150,000 tumors covering over 137 types of cancer, with over 30,000 related to ovarian cancer, which is sort of our specialty. In fact, this is the largest inventory of its kind in the world,” POAI director and CEO Carl Schwartz stated in a news release (http://ibn.fm/e9EIC).

Furthermore, the data in POAI’s molecular information platform are highly differentiated, the company explained, containing both drug-response and biomarker data and with access to historical outcome data from these individual patients. Predictive Oncology is working to gather additional sequence data (mutation and gene expression) from these tumor samples, coupling this with its unique drug response profiles to build AI-driven predictive models of cancer that it believes will meet the unmet market need for a multi-omic approach to the development of new drugs and improve patient outcomes.

POAI is bringing precision medicine, or tailored medical treatment using the individual characteristics of each patient, to the treatment of cancer. Through the company’s Helomics division, the company leverages its unique, clinically validated patient derived (PDx) smart tumor profiling platform to provide oncologists with a road map to help individualize therapy.

In addition, the company is leveraging artificial intelligence and its proprietary database of over 150,000 cancer cases tumors to build AI-driven models of tumor drug response to improve outcomes for the patients of today and tomorrow

• “Sustainability has become a business imperative for all companies,” reports WEF article
• NSRI’s Sustainable Green Team solutions are founded in sustainability, begin with the collecting of tree debris
• “The importance of our shared belief that we are ‘stewards of the environment’ should not be understated,” says Mulch Manufacturing CEO

A recent World Economic Forum (WEF) article (http://ibn.fm/SQk29) stated that “sustainability has become a business imperative for all companies.” National Storm Recovery Inc. (OTC: NSRI), a provider of storm/disaster recovery services, takes that imperative seriously and is committed to positioning itself as the Sustainable Green Team, as noted by CEO Tony Raynor (http://ibn.fm/Srkwk).

NSRI’s recent acquisition of Mulch Manufacturing was the latest step in National Storm Recovery’s commitment to providing environmentally friendly products to the public. “With Mulch Manufacturing’s national and international distribution, its sales contracts with many big box retailers, and the increase in production and packaging capacity it provides, this strategic acquisition has positioned us as the Sustainable Green Team,” Raynor stated in a news release.

National Storm Recovery’s Sustainable Green Team solutions are founded in sustainability. The company’s vertically integrated operations begin with the collecting of tree debris through its tree-services division and collection sites, then recycling the debris into a feedstock that is manufactured into a variety of organic, attractive, next-generation mulch products that are packaged and sold to landscapers, installers and garden centers.

“The importance of our shared belief that we are ‘stewards of the environment’ should not be understated,” Mulch Manufacturing’s CEO Ralph Spencer agreed. “National Storm’s strategic partnership with one of the largest waste disposal companies in the country doesn’t just drive revenue while it secures mulch feedstock, the use of this feedstock has the environmental benefit of decreasing the volume of material that would otherwise continue to fill our nation’s landfills, and these are just [a few] examples of why this business combination makes so much sense.”

The WEF report, written by Karen Quintos, noted that “we know investment opportunity in sustainability is only growing bigger. The projects and programs being led by individual businesses are moving the needle. This is especially true when you combine sustainability investments with the unique products or services of your business, the talents of your people and the capabilities of your customers and partners. I call this your company ‘secret sauce.’ By bringing these resources together, today’s businesses have made significant progress in recovering materials, cleaning oceans and reducing our footprint.”

Certainly NSRI’s “secret sauce” is rooted in its commitment to sustainability, expert products and services, and the talents and skill sets of its people. “For more than 40 years, our team has dedicated our time to perfecting and honing our techniques,” states the NSRI website. “With the best equipment, most effective strategies, and a true dedication to customer service, we know we are the best team for the job.”

NSRI’s commitment is to environmentally beneficial solutions to tree and storm-waste disposal (http://ibn.fm/ri1RC). For investors, the company plans to expand its operations through a combination of organic growth, including its partnership with a nationally recognized waste disposal company and via strategic acquisitions. NSRI’s next-level experience with mulch manufacturing, treatment and caring for trees sets it on the right course for sustained growth.
