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.

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.

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.

Nationally renowned dermatologist will lead advanced product development & innovation

  • Announced 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.

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.

Cardiologists to Use the HeartCheck(TM) #CardiBeat With #ECG Triaging Services for Remote Patient ECG Monitoring – CardioComm Solutions $EKG.ca $ATE.ca $TLT.ca $OGI.ca $ACST.ca $IPA.ca

Patient Self-Monitoring Extends Physicians’ Reach for Monitoring During COVID-19

  • Confirms the start of an out-of-office ECG monitoring program using the HeartCheck™ CardiBeat Handheld ECG monitor, the GEMS™ Mobile RPM Smartphone app and the SMART Monitoring ECG triaging service to support prescribed in-home arrhythmia monitoring.
  • Heart Health Institute, a large arrhythmia practice network located in the Greater Toronto Area, will be recommending the HeartCheck™ CardiBeat to their cardiac patients for up to six months of in-home, arrhythmia self-monitoring use with an emphasis on detecting a recurrence of atrial fibrillation and supraventricular tachycardia.

TORONTO, ON / December 20, 2020 / CardioComm Solutions, Inc. (TSXV:EKG) (“CardioComm” or the “Company“), a global provider of consumer heart monitoring and electrocardiogram (“ECG“) device and software solutions, confirms the start of an out-of-office ECG monitoring program using the HeartCheck™ CardiBeat Handheld ECG monitor, the GEMS™ Mobile RPM Smartphone app and the SMART Monitoring ECG triaging service to support prescribed in-home arrhythmia monitoring.

The Heart Health Institute (“HHI“), a large arrhythmia practice network located in the Greater Toronto Area (Ontario, Canada), will be recommending the HeartCheck™ CardiBeat to their cardiac patients for up to six months of in-home, arrhythmia self-monitoring use with an emphasis on detecting a recurrence of atrial fibrillation and supraventricular tachycardia.

CardioComm’s GEMS™ Mobile Smartphone app supports physician and research-based remote patient monitoring (“RPM“) requirements including providing rapid ECG reporting directly to the prescribing physician’s electronic medical records as patient triggered ECGs are taken. ECGs recorded by HHI patients using the GEMS™ Mobile RPM Smartphone app and the HeartCheck™ CardiBeat be rapidly triaged by CardioComm’s SMART Monitoring ECG service to detect for the presence of any number of arrhythmias. Any submitted ECG recordings that show a presence of a cardiac arrhythmia will be flagged so that HHI patients may be contacted and a follow-up visit scheduled. ECG reports generated through GEMS™ Mobile are eligible for medical service reimbursement in both Canada and the US.

Physicians at HHI intend to introduce the use of the HeartCheck™ ECG/arrhythmia monitoring technology to patients with difficult to capture arrhythmias and to reduce clinical workload in dealing with COVID-19 precautions. Due to COVID-19, patients are reluctant to visit their physician for cardiac testing and some pratices have also implemented new protocols that have made it more challenging to see their patients.

Under the GEMS™ Mobile RPM model, patients will be able to purchase the HeartCheck™ CardiBeat directly through the HHI offices or on-line directly from CardioComm with an HHI physician referral. ECG reporting will be made available at no cost to the patients over a six month monitoring period or until a diagnosis has been made. Following completion of the HHI monitoring period, patients will be able to continue to use the wireless HeartCheck™ CardiBeat ECG device and GEMS™ Mobile app under the Company’s consumer use model.

The GEMS™ Mobile RPM app is available in Android and Apple Smartphone compatible versions as a free downloadable app and allows users to generate ECG reports to show to their physician. The app also allows users to request their ECG to be reviewed by CardioComm’s SMART Monitoring ECG reading service where the user does not have direct connectivity to their treating physician.

Loop Insights $MTRX.ca $RACMF Launches Digital Connect Health Platform, A Fully-Integrated Digital Healthcare Solution For Governments, After Extended Discussions With Provinces, Federal Government and Private Sector $AT.ca $QTRH.ca $SNSR $BSQR $PTS.ca

Loop Digital Connect Health Platform Will Provide Provincial and Federal Healthcare Systems The Ability To Connect Current Siloed Legacy and Antiquated Systems

  • The launch comes after continuous discussions and requests from government leaders, both Provincial and Federal, over the past 7 months.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 21, 2020 — Loop Insights Inc. (MTRX:TSXV) (RACMF:OTCQB) (the “Company” or “Loop”), a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence (“AI”) to drive real-time insights, enhanced customer engagement and automated venue tracing to the brick and mortar space, is pleased to announce the January 2021 launch of its Digital Connect Health Platform, a fully-integrated digital healthcare solution designed for both government and private sector. The launch comes after continuous discussions and requests from government leaders, both Provincial and Federal, over the past 7 months.

On April 20th, Loop Insights launched the Beta version of its Smart Health contactless check-in platform, which streamlines patient engagement and operations. Loop’s Smart Health device requires a simple tap of the patient’s mobile phone to check in and verify their ID. Patients have frictionless access to everything they need in one simple wallet pass, including real-time notifications, testing and tracing updates, critical health information, and more.

MOVING FROM BETA VERSION TO MARKET READY

Following ongoing conversations with stakeholders at the highest levels of government, as well as private markets, Loop Insights will integrate its real-time AI-driven data applications with its IoT solutions and digital wallet to create its Digital Connect Health Platform, which provides governments and private clients with the following:

  • A secure Digital ID
  • Integrated data functionality
  • Easy access to medical records
  • Integrated eCommerce

Loop’s Digital Connect Health Platform is regarded as a customized platform per government specifications.

BRIDGING THE HEALTHCARE JURISDICTIONAL DIVIDE TO DELIVER CONNECTIVITY NEVER BEFORE THOUGHT POSSIBLE

The attempted implementation of wildly varying COVID-19 medical and security protocols, as well as, restriction policies by health officials and government leaders from around the world, has clearly demonstrated how divided government leaders have become by jurisdictional lines due to the lack of a single platform capable of providing uniformity and consistency in the application of policies. Recognizing this breakdown, in conjunction with input from those same government leaders, Loop Insights developed the Digital Connect Health Platform to be capable of connecting Provincial and Federal systems while allowing Provinces to fully maintain their jurisdictional authority by managing their own internal data repositories.

Specifically, the Loop Digital Connect Health Platform sits on top of each Provincial (or State) system to aggregate and connect information into a Data Warehouse. This continuity across all platforms delivers the ultimate goal health leaders have always wanted, never thought possible but requested from Loop Insights – the ability for Provincial healthcare systems to speak to each other. Of the many benefits of having this platform, the simplest and most powerful is the ability for citizens to be away from their home province while using a singular platform to deliver the best healthcare possible.

Loop Insights CEO Rob Anson stated “This has been nothing short of a massive undertaking over the past 7 months. In conjunction with key stakeholders who have been expressing the need for continued digital transformation within the healthcare sector, we have delivered a complete end-to-end digital solution that solves the challenge of decades of siloed data, a lack of connectivity, and a lack of access. As a result, Loop provides governments and the private sector with the ability to connect their current legacy and antiquated systems. This is so revolutionary that it has attracted the attention of global technology companies and has positioned Loop for success within healthcare.”

CANADIAN HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITY, PRESENTATIONS ALREADY COMMENCED THROUGHOUT NORTH AMERICA AND EUROPE

With provinces such as Ontario experimenting with the potential of digital wallet applications, Loop Insights sees a significant opportunity to provide a solution to the Canadian healthcare industry in particular. With individual Provinces considering a digital healthcare solution, a federal platform will require a fully-integrated solution that allows for secure electronic medical records, third-party billing services, and extended healthcare services.

According to IBISWorld, the Canadian healthcare industry represents a $74-billion market opportunity , with over 1200 businesses working in the space. Loop Insights has developed a smart health platform that will provide a gateway for these siloed platforms to work together, allowing for safe and secure collaboration between multiple large scale healthcare systems.

In addition to its business development progress in the Canadian healthcare industry, Loop Insights has presented to leading healthcare companies in North America and Europe.

LOOP DIGITAL WALLET HEALTHCARE APPLICATION WILL PROVIDE SAFE AND SECURE PATIENT CONNECTIVITY TO GO BEYOND COVID-19

In order to improve the lives of patients, Loop Insights’ digital healthcare wallet platform will provide instant medical reminders including appointments, prescription reminders, critical medical transportation services, and more. The platform will allow patients to book appointments with their family doctor or other healthcare professionals within their mobile device. In the era of social distancing, Loop Insights’ automatic queuing and notifications will allow doctors to keep their waiting rooms open while operating at full efficiency. Once at the doctor’s office or medical facility, patients will be able to tap to check-in with their smartphone, registering with their verified healthcare ID.

On December 9th, Loop Insights joined KABN Systems NA Holdings Corp. (CSE:KABN) , Liquid Avatar, Lumedic, The Campus Agency, and TripXpertzwas to form a consortium to manage verifiable identity credentials for COVID-19 vaccinations. Through this consortium and Loop Insights’ previous partnership with iStoc, the Company is now able to provide medical testing beyond the scope of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In partnership with iStoc, Loop Insights is now offering integrated testing for:

  • Infectious diseases
  • Blood alcohol levels (saliva based)
  • Women’s health screening
  • Pregnancy
  • Drug use
  • Sexually-transmitted diseases
  • Blood group testing
  • Veterinary diseases

In order to match growing demand, Loop Insights has also worked with Istoc to launch integrated global testing solutions for:

  • HIV
  • Malaria
  • Dengue
  • Hepatitis B
  • Hepatitis C
  • Tuberculosis, TB
  • Influenza, RSV, Adeno, Strep, Mycoplasma, WIDAL, RPR, Rota, Occult Blood, H Pylori AD
