Empower’s KAI Medical Laboratory Is A Priority Testing Partner That Is Expected To Participate In Significant Programs Aimed At Opening Up Key Travel and Hospitality Industries

  • Announced the signing of a Memorandum Of Understanding (“MOU”) with SimpliFlying, the world’s leading aviation marketing consulting firm, to provide COVID-19 testing support for airlines and travel bubbles.
  • SimpliFlying has been consulting to airlines for over a decade and is one of the largest in the world, having worked with over 100 major clients including airlines, OEMs and airports globally with clients that include American Airlines, Turkish Airlines, LATAM Airlines, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and Toronto Pearson Airport.
  • SimpliFlying also solves complex operational issues facing the airline and tourism industry, working with large hotel groups such as Intercontinental and others.

VANCOUVER, BC / December 8, 2020 / EMPOWER CLINICS INC. (CSE:CBDT)(Frankfurt:8EC)(OTCQB:EPWCF) (“Empower” or the “Company“) an integrated healthcare company serving a database of 165,000 patients through clinics in the Southwest United States, a telemedicine platform and a leading medical diagnostics laboratory is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum Of Understanding (“MOU”) with SimpliFlying, the world’s leading aviation marketing consulting firm, to provide COVID-19 testing support for airlines and travel bubbles.

SIMPLIFLYING IS A TRUSTED NAME TO AIRLINES, AIRPORTS AND HOTEL GROUPS

SimpliFlying has been consulting to airlines for over a decade and is one of the largest in the world, having worked with over 100 major clients including airlines, OEMs and airports globally with clients that include American Airlines, Turkish Airlines, LATAM Airlines, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and Toronto Pearson Airport.

SimpliFlying also solves complex operational issues facing the airline and tourism industry, working with large hotel groups such as Intercontinental and others.

SIMPLIFLYING LAUNCH OF “SIMPLI TESTED” RECEIVES EARLY PRAISE AS ONE OF THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE APPROACHES SO FAR

With the Coronavirus Pandemic wreaking havoc on the global airline and tourism industry, the work of SimpliFlying has become more important than ever in helping solve how airlines, airports, cruise lines, hotels and tourism will safely get back to operations. SimpliFlying is working closely with major international airlines and major Canadian airlines on “Travel Bubbles” and “Tourism Bubbles” that involve testing protocols using PCR tests, rapid PCR, rapid antibody and rapid antigen tests throughout the travel supply chain.

To this end, SimpliFlying has just launched SimpliTested to highlight and support the needs of key industries around the globe, in partnership with FDA and CE approved testing providers, reliable labs and cutting-edge exposure notification applications. The initiative has already received early praise from the media:

“Simpliflying’s “Testing+” proposal is one of the most comprehensive approaches we’ve seen proposed so far.” (Forbes “How Testing Can Get The World Flying Again” (September 17, 2020)

EMPOWER TO PROVIDE MARKET LEADING COVID-19 TESTING SUPPORT AND TRAVELLER ACCESS TO LABS ACROSS NORTH AMERICA

Shashank Nigam, Founder & CEO of SimpliFlying stated “To kickstart travel, airlines and airports need to offer easy access to labs that can turn around accurate test results in a speedy manner. SimpliFlying’s partnership with Empower Clinics will bring access to labs all across North America to support travellers.”

Empower will provide COVID-19 testing support with our most recent products launched in the United States including:

Empower will also provide additional critical functionality to support the strategic consulting work provided by SimpliFlying to airlines and the hospitality industry, including the ability to support onsite collection operational processes at airports, hotels and cruise lines.

Moreover, Empower has the ability to provide additional support for a variety of solutions that may require and are capable of delivering critical elements such as contact tracing technology.

Finally, both Companies intend to lead education and proof of concept with the goal of eliminating 14-day quarantine requirements upon return to Canada. Having structured policies and testing protocols to confirm that travellers are negative for the COVID-19 virus has the potential to significantly open up travel limitations.

Steven McAuley, Chairman and CEO of Empower stated “Once I made the connection with Shashank the SimpliFlying Founder & CEO, I knew right away that a partnership needed to be created given how complementary our companies are to each other. Shashank and team have impressed me with their technical knowledge of the airline, tourism and hospitality industries, they understand exactly what is required to get these key industries back on track, back to work, to get consumers traveling again. Together, utilizing the operational and testing protocols coming to market right now from our wholly owned subsidiary KAI Medical Laboratory, has the potential to make a meaningful and lasting impact on these global industries.”

PARTNERSHIP FURTHER SOLIDIFIES KAI MEDICAL FOOTHOLD IN COVID-19 TESTING SPACE

KAI Medical Laboratory operates a high-complexity CLIA and COLA accredited laboratory that provides reliable and accurate testing solutions to hospitals, medical clinics, pharmacies, and employer groups. KAI has taken an active role in COVID-19 testing, battling the pandemic through RT-PCR testing and serology testing with the capacity to process 4,000 RT-PCR test specimens per day. While the RT-PCR test identifies if a patient has an active virus, the serology or antibody test detects if a patient has previously been exposed to the virus. Both of these test results are vital to managing outbreaks and the potential spread of coronavirus.

As a result of this capability, Empower is now able to expand phase four of its COVID-19 testing rollout which was first announced on April 27, 2020 beginning with testing in-clinic testing (Phase 1) and culminating with a nationwide roll-out across the United States (Phase 4). Phase 4 allows Empower to service enterprise level clients, including airlines, hotels, cruise lines and movie & television studios that require reliable, accurate, fast and mass batch testing capabilities in order to resume production in a safe and compliant manner.

Initial sales, distribution agreements, filed patents and Government funding move BioCloud into the market

  • Set to ship its COVID-19 technology (“Kontrol BioCloud” or “BioCloud”) BioCloud, to customers and distributors around the world.
  • BioCloud is a real-time analyzer designed to detect airborne viruses, including SARS-COV-2, by continuously sampling air quality and triggering a silent, cloud-based alert to facility managers.

TORONTO , Dec. 8, 2020 – Kontrol Energy Corporation (“Kontrol” or the “Company”), a Canadian public Company (CSE: KNR) (OTCQB: KNRLF), is set to ship its COVID-19 technology (“Kontrol BioCloud” or “BioCloud”) BioCloud, to customers and distributors around the world. BioCloud is a real-time analyzer designed to detect airborne viruses, including SARS-COV-2, by continuously sampling air quality and triggering a silent, cloud-based alert to facility managers.

Initial contracts include sales with Kontrol customers and non-exclusive distribution and an exclusive distribution agreement for North America , Australia and New Zealand with United Safety and Survivability Corp.

Patents Filed
On November 30th, 2020 the Company announced the filing of 4 patents for the BioCloud technology with 3 patents filed in the USA and 1 patent in Canada .

“The focus of our BioCloud technology is to help create safer spaces globally as we collectively continue to face the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic,” says Paul Ghezzi , CEO Kontrol. “Initial deliveries are set to arrive to Kontrol customers and distributors in January 2021 . Our team has been working around the clock to launch BioCloud into the global market.”

Manufacturing
 With COVID-19 cases spiking globally and with increases anticipated into the winter season, BioCloud distribution plans are in high gear.

“We have the required local manufacturing capability to meet anticipated production volumes,” says Gary Saunders , VP of Kontrol.  “We are pleased that the majority of our supply chain is Canadian.”

Kontrol has engaged OES Inc. a local design and contract manufacturer in London, Ontario to produce the BioCloud units.  OES Inc. has a long and established history of assisting with the design and manufacturing of complex technology.

“Having BioCloud developed and now being produced in Ontario, Canada is very important to us,” continues Paul Ghezzi . “Our plans to have the initial production and supply chain sourced in Canada means that we are creating jobs while helping to solve the global pandemic that is COVID-19.”

“OES has the ability and capacity to ramp up to meet the required BioCloud manufacturing requirements and we can also scale with BioCloud as required,” says Jeff Stewart , President OES Inc. “We are committed to supporting local jobs, growth and Ontario exports.”

Kontrol receives additional federal funding
 On December 3rd, 2020 the Company announced that it had received advisory services and additional $500,000 in research and development funding from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) .

“This is another important accomplishment and milestone for Kontrol and represents the continuing advancement of the BioCloud technology,” continues Paul Ghezzi . “We are grateful for and proud of this support from our federal government.”

Kontrol’s distribution agreement with United Safety and Survivability Corp
 Under the terms of the agreement, the exclusivity applies to the industries defined as buses, rail and locomotive, subways, ambulances, fire trucks, first responder and military vehicles, with applicable associated facilities in the geography of North America , Australia , and New Zealand . The exclusivity period is 12 months with a six month mutual renewal option and is based on 5,000 units of BioCloud per annum, on a best efforts basis, to retain exclusivity. Pricing will not be disclosed for industry competitive purposes.

Joseph Mirabile , CEO of United Safety stated, “United Safety and Survivability Corporation is committed to delivering the most innovative and reliable solutions that our customers trust to protect life and property. We are very excited to be sharing the Kontrol BioCloud technology with all of our customers. We see interest and demand for this innovative technology, which can help create safer spaces and help our customers solve many of the challenges they are facing in relation to the impact COVID-19 has on their business.”

Ongoing Service
 The patented and proprietary detection chamber is at the heart of BioCloud. The detection chamber is a consumable that needs to be replaced when it comes into contact with the SARS- CoV-2 virus.  Kontrol is launching a new service to assist customers with the disposal and recycling of BioCloud’s propriety detection chamber.

The service allows for customers to return and recycle the detection chamber and receive a discount on future purchases of consumable detection chambers.

“This new service is a win-win as Kontrol is able to recycle various materials and customers are able to receive a discount on future purchases of the BioCloud consumables,” continues Gary Saunders .

Purchase
 The Company estimates a $12,000 USD per unit sale price for BioCloud based on current supply chain components. However, the Company offers volume discounts for aggregate purchases and further, the Company will offer a financing plan should customers require it.

About Kontrol BioCloud
 BioCloud is a real-time analyzer designed to detect airborne viruses. It has been designed to operate as a safe space technology by sampling the air quality over time. With a proprietary detection chamber that can be replaced as needed, viruses are detected, and an alert system is created in the Cloud or over local intranet. BioCloud has been designed for spaces where individuals gather including classrooms, offices, retirement homes, hospitals, mass transportation and others.

BioCloud is an air quality technology and not a medical device. The Company is not making any express or implied claims that its product has the ability to eliminate, cure or contain the COVID-19 (or SARS-2 Coronavirus).  Safe Space Technology is a Kontrol Trademark.

TGS Esports Announces Intent to Acquire Canadian Esports and Digital Media Startup, Volcanic Media

There is no denying the world of esports was already on a rapid growth rate prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.  However, according to TGS Esports (TGS:TSXV), the growth and awareness of esports over the past several months has accelerated the industry by at least a couple of years, if not more.

Recognizing this trend, TGS pivoted quickly from venue based esports to becoming a leader in esports events, sponsorship and productions.  More than just lip service, tournaments hosted to date have been sponsored by the likes of:

  • Pepsi
  • Red Bull
  • 7-11
  • Shaw Cable

More than just events, TGS also creates high quality production value out of these events, which have already seen more than 20,000 hours of viewership on Twitch and featured on GINX Esports TV (Canada), with the potential to expand with GINX to over 50 countries.

If the story ended there, TGS would have the makings of a great early stage esports story …. but it doesn’t

$6 MILLION ACQUISITION OF “PEPPER ESPORTS” 

The recent acquisition of Pepper Esports takes the TGS offering to a whole different level by providing everyone from enterprise sized clients to small business to a group of buddies to create their own esports tournaments.  The platform is so powerful it will handle everything from registration to game play, prize payouts and everything in between that an entity needs to host a successful esports tournament.

Awesome right?  No, it gets better.  

Hosting your own esports tournament is FREE.  TGS and Pepper figured out that the best way to get mass usage of their platform is to make it $0 upfront and generate $$ from revenue share on all transactions that take place during the tournament.

When you bolt on the fact that TGS can now broadcast that tournament, the Company believes its offering can’t be matched anywhere in the world.  

We like it so much that we’re already considering hosting Agoracom esports tournaments for clients and shareholders who can either play or watch.  

 Awesome right?  No, it gets better.  

TGS isn’t stopping at Pepper Esports.  They also announced their Intent to Acquire Canadian Esports and Digital Media Startup, Volcanic Media. 

Why? Volcanic was founded in 2018 and is the creator of the National Esports Scholastic League, a first of its kind initiative that works directly with school districts and educators to create various esports initiatives. To date Volcanic has worked with over 1000 high school students in 13 different cities spanning 6 school districts.

With 30% of kids under 18 playing esports right now – and many of them unable to play physical sports – the growth of high school esports is where you want to be.

TGS Esports Formed Discover Management To Support the Next Wave of Gaming Creators, Influencers, and Streamers

Why? CEO Khouri stated “At TGS we are working with creators on a daily basis. One constant we have dealt with is that creators love creating but may not have the experience with brand deals or legal matters” said Spiro Khouri , co-founder and CEO of TGS. “We’re helping creators legitimize their career path and guiding them through that process. At the same time, we’re able to connect our partner brands with creators to create mutually beneficial relationships.”

With 7,000,000 esports streamers on Twitch right now, TGS is pretty confident in its ability to match the right creators with the right brands, which only serves to further strengthen their ecosystem.

Watch this great interview with the CEO Spiro Khouri to find out how TGS is planning to play a major role in the growth of esports this decade.

Binovi Technologies $VISN.ca $BNVIF to Acquire VERA (Visual Efficiency RAting) for School Vision Screening $EYPT $KALA $PTON $WELL.ca $DOC.ca $DOCRF

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:38 PM on Monday, December 7th, 2020
  • Entered a binding share purchase agreement to acquire a private entity VERA TM (Visual Efficiency RAting), its related patents, associated intellectual property, and available inventory, to further expand the company’s vision technology stack as it continues to execute upon its global commercialization strategy.
  • The transaction will further strengthen the company’s acquisition history, representing continuous investment growth within human performance software and technology.

Toronto, New York – December 7, 2020 – Binovi Technologies Corp., (Binovi) (TSXV:VISN ) | ( OTC:BNVIF ) | ( GR:2EYA) , a leader in vision performance technology, announces that, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, it has entered a binding share purchase agreement to acquire a private entity VERA TM (Visual Efficiency RAting), its related patents, associated intellectual property, and available inventory, to further expand the company’s vision technology stack as it continues to execute upon its global commercialization strategy. The transaction will further strengthen the company’s acquisition history, representing continuous investment growth within human performance software and technology.

“We’re cornering the market on what’s available and possible with remote vision screening technology, and bringing a proven, scalable solution to our users and future users through Binovi. By baselining and screening potential patients and clients early, quickly, and easily, we’re able to help those people seek the vision care that they may unknowingly need, one of Binovi’s longstanding foundational goals,” stated Adam Cegielski, Binovi Chief Executive Officer.

Developed for eye doctors, educators, and school nurses, VERA offers a much-needed, simple, and validated national standard for school vision screening that goes beyond visual acuity or eyesight; It identifies students with vision difficulties related to classroom and independent learning, such as focusing issues, eye-teaming and eye-tracking problems, and provides a clear point of referral to a vision professional. It is anticipated to be highly impactful in an educational context for differentiating vision issues versus special needs cases, reducing the burden of special education costs.

“It is very gratifying that VERA’s unique vision screening methods will have more widespread benefits as part of Binovi’s technology-driven vision remediation platforms.  We can all look forward to many more students with learning-related vision problems being identified and enjoying the rewards of timely and appropriate interventions,” commented Dr. Stephen Galanter, VERA Founder.

VERA is the first program to address the substantial personal, educational, and monetary costs associated with ineffective school vision screening by providing a superior, standardized testing method and automated reporting of test results .

  • – Up to 25% of students in grades K-12 have visual problems that can impede learning, according to the American Public Health Association – The Vision Council of America estimates that up to 50% of learning-disabled children have undiagnosed vision problems.

A paradigm shift in identifying persons who escape detection on routine vision screenings, VERA utilizes evidence-based, standardized, published, and reliable tests to capture patients with tracking, focusing, and eye teaming problems who may benefit from visual interventions. Its age-related scoring mechanism is driven by an extensive database and results are independent of IQ, socioeconomic status, and curriculum-based assessments, making it a valuable adjunct in educational settings. The current iteration includes a research-backed normative data set for measuring individual performance.

“It is archaic that we continue to rely on visual screening measures such as visual acuity that were developed in the 1800s. VERA incorporates procedures that have much greater bearing on a child’s performance in a technology-driven world, ” commented Dr. Leonard Press, Binovi Chief Scientific Officer.

VERA’s technology will integrate into the company’s Binovi product platform. With the recent announcement and launch of Binovi Connect, the VERA acquisition and integration provides Binovi an additional tool set to expand its offering through the ability to baseline/train/enhance performance of the visual system. With the current post-COVID drive in education and healthcare toward remote learning and telehealth, this will complement a hybrid model that blends elements of at-home and in-person care. This will allow deployment via web browser or iOS/Android and paves the way for remote controlling screening.

“We’re delighted to be able to add a simple, validated screening tool to the Binovi Platform, and use the VERA datasets to validate both the Binovi hardware and software tools as well as a point of comparison for our existing user results. Together, this new screening process will be a great fit for the verticals we’re targeting with Binovi,” commented Sam Mithani PhD, Binovi Chief Technology Officer.

As consideration for the acquisition, Binovi will issue an aggregate of 13.390 million common shares, equivalent to approximately $3.350-million (CAD), at a deemed price of 25 Canadian cents to the shareholders of the private entity VERA, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

In connection with the completion of the Transaction, the Company will issue 267,800 common shares to an arms-length third-party who assisted with facilitating the Transaction.

About VERA (Visual Efficiency RAting)

VERA™ is a two-part vision screening program designed for school heath, occupational therapy and special education settings. VERA’s school health component identifies more students with common vision difficulties and generates referral letters to eye doctors and parents and demographic reports for school nurses and administration. The program can generate grade-specific lists of students with vision difficulties for teachers to better accommodate these students in class and reinforce the vision referral to parents. Through these reports and letters and by automated follow-up on unfulfilled vision referrals, VERA identifies vision issues and promotes timely vision care.

VERA’s unique “visual efficiency” screening component allows occupational therapists and special educators to rate focusing, eye-teaming and eye tracking abilities which are crucial to attentive reading and learning. Strategies are also provided to support these identified students. VERA is easy to run with no previous clinical training. Tests are straightforward with helpful instruction screens and alerts guard against invalid testing and false positives.

VERA has been patented and program components have been tested on over a million students. https://visualscreening.com/

With MGA approval received, FansUnite will be joining other highly respected gambling companies such as PokerStars, Betfair and Unibet in operating their business within MGA regulations.

The Malta Gaming Authority is a gambling regulatory organization that provides top-tier industry standard gaming licenses that are in line with EU laws and regulations.
