CardioComm Solutions $EKG.ca Prepares New FDA Applications for Direct-to-Consumer and Physician Use Cardiac Arrhythmia Algorhythms $ATE.ca $TLT.ca $OGI.ca $ACST.ca $IPA.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:43 AM on Tuesday, March 5th, 2019

Apps for Automated Atrial Fibrillation and Prolonged QT Interval Detection will be Included in the Scope of Detection Options

  • Preparing US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA“) 510(k) Class II medical device clearance applications for new arrhythmia detection algorithms.
  • Main application will be for GEMS™ Rhythm, a full suite of arrhythmia detection tools designed for use with GEMS™ WIN, which is licensed to hospitals, clinics and commercial ECG scanning services

Toronto, Ontario – (March 5, 2019) – CardioComm Solutions, Inc. (TSXV: EKG) (“CardioComm” or the “Company“), a global provider of consumer heart monitoring and electrocardiogram (“ECG“) acquisition and management software solutions, is preparing US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA“) 510(k) Class II medical device clearance applications for new arrhythmia detection algorithms.

The main application will be for GEMS™ Rhythm, a full suite of arrhythmia detection tools designed for use with GEMS™ WIN, which is licensed to hospitals, clinics and commercial ECG scanning services. GEMS™ Rhythm will support long-term, continuous recordings of ECGs that are associated with new and higher paying reimbursement codes in Canada and the US. GEMS™ Rhythm will also be capable of running on smartphones, removing the dependence on access to cloud-based systems for the collection and interpretation of ECG data.

The Company will also seek approvals for GEMS™ Rhythm AF and GEMS™ Rhythm QT for consumer and prescription use. These auto-detection algorithms will be available as add-on features to the recently FDA- cleared GEMS™ Mobile app, the only iOS and Android smartphone ECG app that can connect to different manufacturers’ ECG monitoring devices. GEMSTM Mobile with Rhythm AF will compete against solutions from AliveCor, Apple and others.

GEMS™ Rhythm QT would be the first QT interval prolongation screening solution released for smartphone use. QT interval abnormalities have been associated with sudden cardiac death sometimes seen in athletes and in patients prescribed certain medications. These abnormalities are better detected by devices like CardioComm’s HeartCheck™ ECG PEN and HeartCheck™ CardiBeat, both of which allow a lead II ECG trace to be recorded.

The ability for GEMS™ Mobile to link consumer use of ECG devices to hospitals where GEMS™ WIN is licensed extends the patient monitoring experience beyond the fixed and short-term use of traditional, large and expensive ECG monitoring devices. This should lead to better patient care outcomes and open additional billing code revenue-generating opportunities for health care organizations.

To learn more about CardioComm’s products and for further updates regarding HeartCheck™ ECG device integrations please see the Company’s websites at www.cardiocommsolutions.com and www.theheartcheck.com.

Tartisan Nickel Corp. $TN.ca – Deficit expectations fuel nickel’s climb to six-month peak $ROX.ca $FF.ca $EDG.ca $AGL.ca $ANZ.ca

Deficit expectations fuel nickel’s climb to six-month peak

  • Stainless steel prices rise, stocks build in China
  • Copper down on profit-taking on long positions

By Pratima Desai LONDON, March 4 (Reuters) – Nickel prices climbed to a six-month peak on Monday as expectations of a fourth consecutive year of supply deficit were reinforced by signs of robust demand from stainless steel mills in China. Benchmark nickel on the London Metal Exchange traded up 0.3 percent at $13,230 a tonne in official rings, having touched its highest since the end of August at $13,405. The price is up 24 percent this year, the best performer among LME metals. “Ultimately the nickel market has been in deficit for three years running and we are expecting another deficit this year,” said Roskill senior analyst Olivier Masson

“The nickel price was probably oversold at the end of last year, when the market was worrying about global trade,”

TRADE: The trade dispute between China and the United States has fuelled concern about global growth and demand, undermining sentiment in metals markets. DEFICIT: Data from the International Nickel Study Group shows the nickel market deficit at 46,000 tonnes in 2016, 115,000 tonnes in 2017 and 127,000 tonnes last year.

Global nickel demand is estimated at about 2.4 million tonnes this year. Of that, about two thirds is destined for stainless steel mills, mostly in China. “The price of stainless steel continues to rise (and) supply of ferronickel is very tight,” GF Futures said in a note, adding that Wuxi Stainless Steel Exchange inventories had risen by more than 10,000 tonnes, or 4.2 percent, since the first half of February. STOCKS: Nickel stocks at 196,542 in LME-registered warehouses have nearly halved since the start of January last year, while cancelled warrants — metal earmarked for delivery — stand at 37 percent. Inventories in warehouses monitored by the Shanghai Futures Exchange are below 10,000 tonnes and have fallen nearly 40 percent since the middle of November. SPREADS: Traders say the discount for the cash over the three-month contract is an incentive to buy nickel and sell it forward on the LME. The discount, or contango, of about $80 a tonne is enough to cover financing costs and leave a healthy profit. “The weaker macro numbers we are getting, especially out of China, suggest that negative demand influences will eventually kick in and start to replenish stockpiles,” said INTL FCStone analyst Edward Meir. PROFIT-TAKING: Prices of copper are down on profit-taking by funds with long positions betting on higher prices. Traders say the market has been long on copper for some time. Others say the premium for the cash over the three-month contract at $34 a tonne should attract metal to LME warrant, relieving some of the tightness. PRICES: copper was down 1.3 percent at $6,396 a tonne, aluminium fell 2.1 percent to $1,878, zinc slipped 0.9 percent to $2,758, lead ceded 0.9 percent to $2,124 and tin was down 0.2 percent at $21,575.

KPMG: Tech Execs See the Future- It’s Blockchain

  • Almost a full 50% of the executives polled (76% of whom are C-level executives — meaning they have titles like CTO, CEO, COO) firmly believed that blockchain is ‘very likely’ or ‘likely’ to change the way their company does business — within three years. That is a short time, especially in the business world.

By R.R. Hauxley

Plenty of people love blockchain. Plenty more hate it. But the biggest chunk of people by far are those who are neutral about it. They neither love it nor hate it. They’re just waiting for the world to make up its mind — like when VHS fought Betamax or Bluray fought HD-DVD. Well, the world is making up its mind right quick — and the winner is blockchain.

A survey was recently released. A big, meaningful one. It was released by KPMG, one of the top four auditor agencies in the world. They call it the Technology Industry Innovation Survey and it polls over 740 gigantic tech leaders across twelve countries around the world. The results are fascinating.

  1. Almost a full 50% of the executives polled (76% of whom are C-level executives — meaning they have titles like CTO, CEO, COO) firmly believed that blockchain is ‘very likely’ or ‘likely’ to change the way their company does business — within three years. That is a short time, especially in the business world.
  2. Taking that one step further, 41% of these higher-ups also believed that, in these next three short years, the company they direct will, in fact, implement blockchain tech.
  3. Perhaps the most telling statistic, however, is the change from last years survey. Despite the crypto bear market, despite hacks and scams, the executives who were neutral last year are moving bullishly into the blockchain believer category. Last year a full 42% of respondents were neutral on all this and 30% even responded that blockchain changing things would be “very likely.” Today the neutral camp has shrunk to 24% — with the majority moving camp to the “we will use blockchain” side of the story.

So you see, the battle between blockchain believers and doubters is coming to a close. High powered executives running multi-billion dollar companies (which produce products and services that we all use) are learning about blockchain, believing in it, and will be shaping their companies to use it — all in the next three years. It’s high time, then, that those who are also neutral take a page from the tech exec playbook and read “An Introduction to Blockchain.” These titans of industry are not making their decisions because of tabloid headlines. They are educating themselves about blockchain with proper guides. That is the only way to make proper profits. We should follow such footsteps if we want to profit from blockchain too.

The OTCQB dramatically increases transparency, reporting standards, management certification and compliance requirements, the majority of broker dealers trade stocks on the OTCQB. Historically this has resulted in greater liquidity and awareness for companies that reach the OTCQB tier.
