Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:54 AM on Tuesday, December 22nd, 2020
  • Announced agreements to install Delta-X Trust units in a Vaughan retirement home, and a sports and school complex.
  • As previously announced in a November 23, 2020 press release, UPI entered into an agreement with the Delta-X Group to test the Delta-X Trust proprietary face and temperature recognition software technology, with clients across Canada.
  • COVID-19 has infected more than 485,000 people in Canada with over 13,800 deaths. While the Canadian Government expects to vaccinate the majority of Canadians by the end of 2021, it is still unclear as to the length of time that vaccines will protect Canadians.
  • Technology such as Delta-X Trust can be a key tool to manage the flow of people in and out of high traffic public and private facilities, providing property managers with the protocols to improve the safety of the tenants and visitors to a site.

Toronto, Ontario–(December 22, 2020) – Universal PropTech Inc. (TSXV: UPI) (“UPI” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce agreements to install Delta-X Trust units in a Vaughan retirement home, and a sports and school complex.

As previously announced in a November 23, 2020 press release, UPI entered into an agreement with the Delta-X Group to test the Delta-X Trust proprietary face and temperature recognition software technology, with clients across Canada. To this end, UPI has entered into agreements with UniversalCare Canada Inc. to install Delta-X unit within its Richview Retirement Residence facility, and with Mentana Group Inc. to install unit within their Vaughan Sports Village facility.

“The Company is pleased to be able to deploy the Delta-X Trust units at the Richview Retirement Residence, a premier Independent and Assisted Living home, and Sports Village, a multi-rink and school complex,” stated UPI CEO Chris Hazelton. “The Company and each of these facilities will scope out the unit protocols over the coming weeks to ensure the units provide additional security and protection for users of the facilities, and the Company expects installation to be completed in coming weeks. Seniors homes, schools and other institutional facilities are among the highest risk facilities to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and we are pleased that we can be part of the solution.”

COVID-19 has infected more than 485,000 people in Canada with over 13,800 deaths. While the Canadian Government expects to vaccinate the majority of Canadians by the end of 2021, it is still unclear as to the length of time that vaccines will protect Canadians. Technology such as Delta-X Trust can be a key tool to manage the flow of people in and out of high traffic public and private facilities, providing property managers with the protocols to improve the safety of the tenants and visitors to a site. These pilots are expected to provide the Company with better visibility regarding the interaction between key stakeholders, integration within building systems, and will inform wider go-to-market strategies. Other clients of the Company have expressed an interest to have Delta-X Trust units installed, and the Company will continue to refine the strategy to scale the opportunities.

VIDEO – POET Technologies $PTK.ca $POETF Hits 52 Week High As “Flip-Chip” Enables The World’s Lowest-Cost and Smallest Optical Engine Of Its Kind

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:32 AM on Tuesday, December 22nd, 2020

Understanding the world of Photonics isn’t the easiest thing small cap investors have had to understand.  In fact, it may be the very hardest thing they’ve ever had to understand.  However, given the fact we are the very reason current photonics devices aren’t living up to snuff trying to keep up with our surfing, streaming, binging and zooming – you start to see why understanding photonics and POET Technologies could open up investors to a whole new world.

We went beyond the press release with POET management to discuss the “Industry’s First Flip-Chip DML Lasers”  No, we didn’t understand the title at first either ….. but the management trio on the Zoom did a great job explaining it in terms that are both compelling yet understandable.

Before watching this video, here is some important background information. 

Photonics are critical to the next phase of semiconductor development.  Semiconductors are an essential component of every electronic device on the planet.

Photonic devices create, detect and manipulate light.  Laser generated light is fundamental to sensing, computing, data and telecommunications, which require the fastest transfer of data possible.

In short, all the surfing, streaming, binging and zooming we do requires 2 things to happen:

1. Massive data centres filled with tens of thousands of servers.

2. Speed … and we mean lighting speed that requires lasers to transfer all that data fast enough for you not to complain about 2 second latency when searching for last minute Christmas gift ideas (We see you)  

Examples of the the biggest trends sucking up all that power and speed in computing today:

  • Cloud Computing
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • 5G and Edge 

HERE IS THE PROBLEM

Making photonics devices that are reliable is expensive in terms of both capital and labour.

Cost declines have not kept up with Moore’s Law, with most photonics devices built one at a time – and multiple different components must be able to interconnect seamlessly without constant testing.

The Result? Integration of components at wafer-scale has not been fully implemented even by the largest companies working for the past 20 years  ….. UNTIL NOW

POET has developed a unique, disruptive and differentiating new entry into photonics markets.

The POET Optical Interposer™ Platform – patented photonics integration platform that enables lower cost and higher performance across a wide range of applications.

The press release announcing the industry’s first flip-chip DML lasers might very well take POET to a whole new level.

Watch this great first interview of many with:

Suresh Venkatesan, Chairman and CEO

Vivek Rajgarhia, President & General Manager

Thomas Mika, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

VIDEO – Empower Clinics $CBDT.ca $EPWCF CEO Says 2021 Will Be A Big Year With ~ $6.8M In Cash, New Acquisition, Partnerships and Products $WELL.ca $DOC.ca $DOCRF $VMD.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:26 PM on Monday, December 21st, 2020

Sometimes, you just have to let the numbers speak for themselves.  With 165,000 patients, Empower Clinics (CBDT:CSE) (EPWCF:OTCQB) has a database that any small cap Health & Wellness company  would kill for … but then you add in that CBDT has now delivered growth in 5 (FIVE) successive financial reports (Q4, FY 2019, Q1, Q2 and Q3), so it is safe to say that superstar CEO Steve McAuley can officially claim victory on the turnaround he inherited in 2019.

But he was far from done.

On November 13th Empower announced it’s newly acquired Kai Medical Laboratory Achieved Record Testing Volume Month in October and Has Already Signed Numerous New Contracts … and that was the day the markets finally discovered what we already knew.  Empower Clinics was a major player in the Health & Wellness space from the lab to the clinic.

But he was far from done.

Since that day Empower has made several announcements that grew the Company by several magnitudes again.  From record testing contracts to new products, partnerships (We see you Loop Insights $MTRX + SimpliFlying) and a $5.5 MILLION injection from warrant proceeds (that is now closer to $6.8M), McAuley was building the foundations of a health & wellness powerhouse.

And let’s not forget about the major acquisition of 7 Canadian clinics with an immediate plan to add another 30 clinics across the country with some potential major partners/ . 

Finally, for all the new investors that have joined Empower in the last several weeks, McAuley is Six Sigma certified under the quality initiative of legendary GE (General Electric) Chairman Jack Welch. We’ve never seen a Six Sigma certified CEO in the Canadian small cap markets. Never …. which explains how McAuley has been able to guide Empower Clinics through the most disruptive environment in recent history and turn it into significant growth through Q4 2020 and the foundations to turn it into a powerhouse over the next 3 years. 

If you MISSED Well Health and CloudMD, you really need to take a close look at Empower as the next great potential small cap health & wellness company.

Watch this amazing interview.

VIDEO – ThreeD Capital $IDK.ca $IDKFF Hits Another 52 Week High And 610% YTD As Investors Discover Sheldon Inwentash and IDK Are The Common Denominator On Many Big Small Cap Winners $PKK.ca $PKKFF $MTRX.ca $RACMF $HPQ.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:06 PM on Monday, December 21st, 2020
IDK-square-for-blog

ThreeD Capital (IDK:CSE / IDKFF:OTCQB) prides itself on discovering great companies before everyone else … and so do shareholders who are being rewarded with another 52 week high thanks to Chairman and CEO Sheldon Inwentash, who is showing once again that he can find and invest in great “Ignored and undervalued companies” on his way to a 610% gain for IDK Year To Date.

He may make it look easy but Inwentash tirelessly casts a wide net 24/7/365 (trust us, we know) in his favourite industries to find best of breed companies in either Disruptive Technologies or Junior Resources.  And when he finds them, he isn’t afraid to have IDK invest big and be patient, something most investors just aren’t willing to do when they’re fixated on just daily or even hourly moves.

That’s why IDK, is like and ETF for ground floor investments that small cap investors would either be unable to find (private) or unable to participate in (early round accredited investors) or unable to hold.

For new investors to the markets in 2021 who don’t know him but better get to know him ASAP, Sheldon Inwentash is one of the greatest investors in Canadian history.  As Founder, Chairman and CEO of IDK, Inwentash’s track record of success speaks for itself, including successful exits in the hundreds of millions and even billions of dollars in previous years.  His last investment company commanded a market cap north of $1 Billion and now he’s looking to create another success with IDK.  

Will he do it?  He’s sure off to a good start so far by quietly making investments over the past couple of years that are now starting to pay off.  In this interview Inwentash discusses:

  • His investment philosophy
  • Some of his big 2020 winners including 
    • Peak Fintech $PKK – $PKKFF 
    • Loop Insights $MTRX – $RACMF
    • HPQ Silicon $HPQ
    • Esports Entertainment Group $GMBL
    • Bluesky Digital $BTC
    • ImagineAR $IP $IPNFF – where he is re-accumulating again
  • Why he’s investing heavily in gold juniors
  • Why he’s investing heavily in crypto currencies
  • Best of all, after one hell of a ride for the financial markets in 2020, Inwentash talks about why 2021 “is the year to be all in”

Watch this great interview … because when a legendary financier speaks, every small cap investor should be listening. We know we do.

Wherever possible, words such as “will”, “plans,” “expects,” “targets,” “continues”, “estimates,” “scheduled,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “may,” “could,” “would” or might, and the negative of such expressions or statements that certain actions, events or results “may,” “could,” “would,” “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved, have been used to identify forward-looking information.

Forward-looking statements should not be read as guarantees of future events, future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indicators of the times at, or by which, such events, performance or results will be achieved, if achieved at all.

Many factors could cause BCF’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

  • A member of the Advisory Board since 2018—among other distinguished members and world-class dermatologists Dr. Daniel Siegel, Dr. Per Hall, Dr. Joe Walls, and Dr. Dennis Reich—Dr. Champagne has helped position MedX as a leader in teledermatology.

MedX Health Corporation (“MedX” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: MDX), is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Trevor Champagne as Chair of the Company’s Medical Advisory Board. A member of the Advisory Board since 2018—among other distinguished members and world-class dermatologists Dr. Daniel Siegel, Dr. Per Hall, Dr. Joe Walls, and Dr. Dennis Reich—Dr. Champagne has helped position MedX as a leader in teledermatology.

Teledermatology is a subspecialty of dermatology that offers safe and effective virtual care—patient assessment and diagnosis—at a distance, eliminating the need for in-person appointments. With the world navigating through ongoing COVID-19 recovery measures, teledermatology’s advancement has never been more critical to patient care and outcomes. Dr. Champagne will drive ongoing innovation with MedX’s teledermatology offering, including the Company’s leading-edge image capture technology (SIAscopy®) for moles, lesions and other skin conditions via its secure, cloud-based patient management system (DermSecure®), which transmits and stores patient data through the assessment process. MedX’s SIAscopy® is the only technology that takes five images, including four spectrophotometric images 2 mm below the skin’s surface.

In addition to his leadership appointment at MedX, Dr. Champagne is a dermatologist at the Women’s College Hospital in Toronto, as well as an Assistant Professor (Clinician in Quality and Innovation, Division of Dermatology) at the University of Toronto’s Temerty Faculty of Medicine, Canada’s top-ranked medical school.

“In dermatology, it’s critical to have the diagnostic equipment required to provide quick, reliable results for patients in a pain-free way – and MedX delivers this like no other, thanks to their rigorous standards for safety and quality,” said Dr. Champagne. “MedX is a leader in teledermatology because they listen to the dermatology community to develop effective, forward-thinking tools and software that we as specialists, and our patients, need most. I’m honoured to be appointed Chair of the Advisory Board and look forward to working together with this well-respected team to take teledermatology to the next level.”

With both a Doctor of Medicine degree from Western University and a Master of Science, Health Systems Research from the University of Toronto, Dr. Champagne’s expertise spans dermatology and computer science. He has been particularly instrumental in the development of DermSecure®, MedX’s Patient Management Software, ensuring that it interacts efficiently and effectively with a dermatologist’s workflow. He is also overseeing exciting new developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) functionality, an area of rapid growth, which he will continue to guide in the years to come.

“We’re very proud to have a leader of Dr. Champagne’s calibre as the first Chair of our Scientific and Medical Advisory Board,” said Mike Druhan, President, Dermatology Services and Products. “His continued leadership and foresight will ensure we are in lockstep with the needs of the dermatology community, not only improving patient care and outcomes today but anticipating and meeting future needs.
