Datametrex $DM.ca Obtains Rights to Sell #COVID19 Tests From Two Additional South Korean Manufacturers

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:32 AM on Wednesday, May 6th, 2020
  • Secured non-exclusive rights to sell COVID-19 test kits from two additional South Korean manufacturers, including a kit that is U.S. Food & Drug Administration
  • Approved under Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Emergency Use Authorizations for Medical Devices for the United States, and CE marking certification (for European Economic Area countries, which covers the 27 member states of the EU, the 4 members of EFTA, plus Turkey and the United Kingdom under Brexit

TORONTO, May 06, 2020 – Datametrex AI Limited (the “Company” or “Datametrex”) (TSXV: DM, FSE: D4G, OTC: DTMXF) is pleased to announce that it has secured non-exclusive rights to sell COVID-19 test kits from two additional South Korean manufacturers, including a kit that is U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved under Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Emergency Use Authorizations for Medical Devices (“EUA”) for the United States, and CE marking certification (“CE”) for European Economic Area (“EEA”) countries, which covers the 27 member states of the EU, the 4 members of EFTA, plus Turkey and the United Kingdom under Brexit.

According to each of the manufacturers, these test kits made are both Nucleic Acid based, which Health Canada is prioritizing the review of. Each of the manufacturers’ test kits have been submitted to Health Canada approval on a fast track basis and, until such approval is granted, these tests may not be sold or used in Canada. The Company is currently working closely with Health Canada to have the approval of the test kits fast tracked. An Interim Order Request for Health Canada has been submitted for 300,000 kits immediately and an additional 100,000 weekly thereafter.

One of the test kits, manufactured by Seasun Biomaterials (“Seasun”) Inc. of South Korea, was authorized on April 27, 2020 by the FDA in the United States for Emergency Use under the EUA by authorized laboratories and has also been approved for use in the EEA with CE marking certification. With regard to the FDA authorization: (1) this test has not been FDA cleared or approved; (2) this test has been authorized by the FDA only for the detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2, not for any other viruses or pathogens; and (3) this test is only authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of in vitro diagnostics for detection and/or diagnosis of COVID-19 under Section 564(b)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the authorization is terminated or revoked sooner.

Seasun claims that the average number of specimens that can be tested in a 12 hour period with their U-TOP COVID-19 Real-Time Detection Kit is 3,400. Seasun advises this is the equivalent of approximately 283 tests per hour, and the kit uses dual-labeled peptide nucleic acid probes to detect two distinct regions in ORF1ab and one region in N gene of the SARS-CoV-2 genome in oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal swab specimens, anterior nasal and mid-turbinate nasal swabs, nasopharyngeal wash/aspirate or nasal aspirate specimens, and sputum. The test runs on any authorized RT-PCR instrument and can be performed by any lab CLIA-certified to perform high-complexity tests.

Seasun is an in vitro diagnostic company that develops molecular diagnostic platforms of infection diseases, cancer as well as genetic and epigenetic disorders. Seasun develops and commercializes innovative real-time PCR-based diagnostic platforms through the development of its proprietary technologies to provide more advanced molecular diagnostic services. Seasun’s test kits will be distributed by its third party distributor, which Datametrex has agreements in place with for distribution globally. The other manufacturer that Datametrex has obtained sales rights from has requested not to be named publicly at this time.

The Company announced on April 21, 2020 the appointments of Dr. Joseph Curtis and Dr. Lisa Palleson-Stallan to the advisory board in anticipation of securing US FDA EUA approval on the test kits. Selling into the US market requires infrastructure and a qualified contact person that can assist not only in identifying opportunities to sell the test kits but also with the compliance requirements. The Company is continuing to work with Health Canada with respect to the application for approval of previously announced iONEBIO Inc. COVID-19 test kits.

“Having seen the urgent need for COVID-19 test kits, Datametrex is doing everything it can to help Canada combat COVID-19 and flatten the curve. In the meantime, having FDA under EUA approved test kits allow us to help our neighbours to the south and any Canadian company with operations in the US and Europe,” says Marshall Gunter, CEO of the Company.

The Company’s ability to fulfill any purchase order for COVID-19 test kits is subject to the availability of inventory at the time of order. Due to the extraordinarily high demand for COVID-19 test, there is volatility in the supply chain and available supply may fluctuate on a daily basis. Datametrex anticipates that it will have little or no upfront costs associated with importing and selling these test kits. Assuming Health Canada approves the test kits and they are subsequently purchased by the Canadian government, the manufacturer will ship the test kits directly to the Canadian government or hospitals, and Datametrex will not be involved in the shipping, warehousing or distribution process.

The Company did not pay consideration to either of the manufacturers to obtain sales rights. Seasun’s application to have its test approved by Health Canada were submitted directly by Seasun, while Datametrex submitted an application for approval with respect to the other manufacturer’s tests.

About CE Marking

CE marking is a certification mark that indicates conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA). The CE marking is also found on products sold outside the EEA that have been manufactured to EEA standards. This makes the CE marking recognizable worldwide even to people who are not familiar with the European Economic Area (the 27 member states of the EU, the 4 members of European Free Trade Association (“EFTA”), plus Turkey and United Kingdom). CE marking also supports fair competition by holding all companies accountable to the same rules. For more information please consult the European Commission website at: CE marking.

About Food and Drug Administration EUA

On February 4, 2020, pursuant to Section 564(b)(1)(C) of the Act, the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) determined that there is a public health emergency that has a significant potential to affect national security or the health and security of United States citizens living abroad, and that involves the virus that causes COVID-19. Pursuant to Section 564 of the Act, and on the basis of such determination, the Secretary of HHS then declared that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of in vitro diagnostics for detection and/or diagnosis of the virus that causes COVID-19 subject to the terms of any authorization issued under Section 564(a) of the Act.

Google acts tough on ‘bad ads’; blocked nearly 1 million advertisers in 2019

Google said since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, it has been closely monitoring advertiser behavior to protect users from ads looking to take advantage of the crisis.

Google said since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, it has been closely monitoring advertiser behavior.

By: FE Online

  • Google on Monday said it disabled and eliminated 2.7 billion ‘bad ads’-more than 5,000 poor ads every minute-in 2019, and banned nearly a million advertisers responsible for policy breaches as part of its efforts to protect consumers from deceptive advertising.

The tech giant also noticed that fake advertisements for in-demand items such as face masks had a dramatic increase in the COVID-19 pandemic that claimed lakhs of life globally.

“Preserving the integrity of the ads on our platforms, as we’re doing during the COVID-19 outbreak, is a continuation of the work we do every day to minimise content that violates our policies and stop malicious actors. We have thousands of people working across our teams to make sure we’re protecting our users and enabling a safe ecosystem for advertisers and publishers…” Google has informed me in a blogpost.

The post, written by Google Vice President of Product Management Advertising Protection and Safety Scott Spencer, noted that in 2019, 2.7 billion bad advertising were blocked and taken out.

“We also suspended nearly 1 million advertiser accounts for policy violations. On the publisher side, we terminated over 1.2 million accounts and removed ads from over 21 million web pages that are part of our publisher network for violating our policies,” the blog said.

It added that terminating accounts-not just removing an individual ad or page-is a particularly effective enforcement tool that Google uses if advertisers or publishers commit egregious policy breaches or have a history of policy breaches.

Google said since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, it has been closely monitoring advertiser behavior to protect users from ads looking to take advantage of the crisis. Google said it has been closely tracking advertiser activity since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak to protect consumers from advertisers that are trying to take advantage of the crisis.

Google noted that there is a dedicated COVID-19 task force operating round the clock that has developed new detection technologies and has also improved existing compliance tools to avoid bad actors.

Bot or not? #AI looks at #Twitter behavior to sort real accounts from fake – SPONSOR: Datametrex AI Limited $DM.ca

Bot or not? A.I. looks at Twitter behavior to sort real accounts from fake

  • For the past several years, there’s been heightened concern about the impact of so-called bots on platforms like Twitter
  • A bot in this context is a fake account synonymous with helping to spread fake news or misinformation online

By: Brinkwire

For the past several years, there’s been heightened concern about the impact of so-called bots on platforms like Twitter. A bot in this context is a fake account synonymous with helping to spread fake news or misinformation online. But how exactly do you tell the difference between an actual human user and a bot? While clues such as the use of the basic default “egg” avatar, a username consisting of long strings of numbers, and a penchant for tweeting about certain topics might provide a few pointers, that’s hardly conclusive evidence.

That’s the challenge a recent project from a pair of researchers at the University of Southern California and University of London set out to solve. They have created an A.I. that’s designed to sort fake Twitter accounts from the real deal, based on their patterns of online behavior.

“Detecting bots can be very challenging as they continuously evolve and become more sophisticated,” Emilio Ferrara, research assistant professor in the USC Department of Computer Science, told Digital Trends. “Existing tools that work well with older and simpler types of bots are not as accurate to predict more complex ones. So it’s always exciting to identify new, previously unknown characteristics of the behavior of human users that are not yet exhibited by bots. This could [be used to help] improve the accuracy of detection tools.”

The researchers leveraged various datasets of hand-labeled examples of both fake and real Twitter account messages, produced by other researchers in the community. In total, they trained their system on 8.4 million tweets from 3,500 human accounts and an additional 3.4 million tweets from 5,000 bots. This helped them to uncover a variety of insights into tweeting patterns. For instance, human users are up to five times more likely to reply to messages. They also get increasingly interactive with other users over the course of a long Twitter session, while the length of an average tweet decreases during this same time frame. Bots, on the other hand, show no such changes.

But don’t expect this work to be the definitive lasting word in this field. Just like the cat-and-mouse game between software companies and hackers, whereby one group tries to close vulnerabilities and the other works to find new ones, the field of bot discovery will continue to develop.

“These findings will inform future bot detection tools,” Ferrara said. “However, we expect that bot-making tools will see these findings as well, so it will be interesting to see when — or how soon — some of the open-source bot-making tools that are available online will adjust to reflect the human behavioral trends that we discovered.”

A paper describing the work was recently published in the journal Frontiers in Physics.

How to spot “fake news” and misinformation in the era of #COVID19 – SPONSOR: Datametrex AI Limited $DM.ca

How to spot “fake news” and misinformation in the era of COVID-19

  • COVID-19’s arrival in Canada has brought many side-effects, including growing concerns about misinformation and deliberately dishonest media dubbed “fake news”.
  • Although automatic-detection systems have been tested, the rise of misinformation appears to be inherently linked to social media.

By: Justin Madu

However, less-than-factual sources generally share a few warning signs.

One of the biggest red flags that something isn’t right is a headline that makes bold or outlandish claims:

“If it seems like clickbait, don’t click on it because chances are it is not going to be legitimate or scientifically-proven information. If it is a sensational blurb, that is probably a good sign not to click on the article and believe everything inside,” explained Wendy Gray, Vista Radio’s National News Director.

Some copycats might even mimic trusted news sources.

“Some stories look like they’re coming from legitimate media outlets but there will be slight alterations to the URL,” said Gray

Similarly, misinformation may be spread through untrustworthy websites claiming to be news outlets. If you’re not familiar with a website, extra skepticism may be required.

Gray added the social climate of a global pandemic can lead to the spread of less-than-scientific data.

Looking at an article’s sources remains important, as medical doctors and public health officials remain the best source for reliable information.

The public should be cautious as many people earn doctorates, alongside the title of “Dr.”, without any medical training.

“You always go with what the medical experts are saying,” Gray stated, adding “politicians are not medical scientists,” in response to headline-grabbing claims made by political figures around the world.

Familiar, reputable news outlets and credible expert-verified sources still remain the best places to find reliable facts.

“If you need information, obviously check your public health website first, but if you’re looking for general information about what’s going on I wouldn’t hesitate to go to your local media sources… Honest, fact-based news is more important than ever,” she concluded.

The B.C. Centre for Disease Control offers valuable COVID-19 information, as does the Provincial Government’s website.

Tiredness could be ‘human signature’ used to detect bots on Twitter – SPONSOR: Datametrex AI Limited $DM.ca

Tiredness could be ‘human signature’ used to detect bots on Twitter

  • Concerns about the impact of deceptive bot networks spreading disinformation in order to influence democratic events, such as the 2016 US presidential election, had lead to calls from lawmakers, academics and campaigners for social media companies to detect and take down these networks
  • These efforts will include human moderators and machine learning algorithms trained to detect suspicious behaviour

By E&T editorial staff

A study has identified short-term behavioural differences between humans and bots – reflecting what is likely to be increasing tiredness towards the end of a social media session – which could be used to detect and take down networks of bots on social media.

Bots – which are controlled by computers, rather than by humans – serve a wide variety of purposes, including news aggregation and customer service. Despite their benefits, bots have come under scrutiny recently in the context of being used manipulatively as part of large-scale, state-backed projects to spread disinformation on social media platforms.

Concerns about the impact of deceptive bot networks spreading disinformation in order to influence democratic events, such as the 2016 US presidential election, had lead to calls from lawmakers, academics and campaigners for social media companies to detect and take down these networks. These efforts will include human moderators and machine learning algorithms trained to detect suspicious behaviour.

Now, a first-of-its-kind study published in Frontiers in Physics has identified some short-term behavioural trends seen in human-run accounts which are absent in bot accounts. This could provide a “human signature” to detect fake accounts, which are constantly adapting to fool detectors.

“Remarkably, bots continuously improve to mimic more and more of the behaviour humans typically exhibit on social media,” said Professor Emilio Ferrara, a University of Southern California computer science expert and co-author of the study. “Every time we identify a characteristic we think is prerogative of human behaviour, such as sentiment of topics of interest, we soon discover that newly developed open-source bots can now capture those aspects.

Ferrara and his colleagues studied how the behaviour of humans and bots changed over the course of single sessions using a large Twitter dataset associated with recent political discussion. They monitored factors such as propensity to engage in various social interactions and volume and type of tweets they wrote, then compared the results between humans and bots.

They found that humans showed an increase in the amount of social interaction over the course of a session (an increase in the fraction of retweets, replies and mentions in a tweet) and a decrease in the amount of content they produce (a decrease in average tweet length). The researchers suggested that this could reflect humans becoming tired towards the end of the session and being less able or willing to produce original content. This behavioural change was not seen in bots.

The researchers used these results to inform a classification system for bot detection. They found that their model significantly outperformed a baseline model in its bot-detection accuracy, indicating that searching for short-term behavioural patterns like this could be valuable in the implementation and improvement of detection systems.

“Bots are constantly evolving: with fast-paced advances in AI, it’s possible to create ever-increasingly realistic bots that can mimic more and more how we talk and interact in online platforms,” said Ferrara. “We are continuously trying to identify dimensions that are particular to the behaviour of humans on social media that can in turn be used to develop more sophisticated toolkits to detect bots.”

VIDEO: Datametrex $DM.ca Discusses Obtaining Rights to Import and Sell #COVID19 Test Kits From South Korea

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:29 PM on Tuesday, April 21st, 2020

When US Government Agencies call you in the middle of the greatest health and economic crisis in 100 years to help them detect social media disinformation about COVID-19, it is safe to assume your Artificial Intelligence capabilities to detect fake news, disinformation campaigns and their impact is amongst the most respected in the world.  

But when the Canadian government calls on you to help with the import and sale of COVID-19 test kits from South Korea, it is also safe to assume your trust and security clearances are at the highest levels possible.    

You would probably also assume such a company to be a tech giant or a Silicon Valley funded startup.  But Datametrex AI (DM: TSXV) is neither.  Rather, it is a great Canadian small cap technology company who happens to have:  

“developed strong relationships with many large multi-national companies in South Korea.  As a result of these relationships, the Canadian Embassy in Seoul contacted Datametrex to ask for help in procuring rapid test kits.”

  If that wasn’t enough, Datametrex has also achieved the following as of late:

  • Q3 Revenues Of $1.6 million,  an increase of 186%
  • 9 Month Revenues Of $2.56M an increase of 37%
  • Repeat Contracts Of $1M and $600,000 With Korean Giant LOTTE   
  • $954,000 Contract With Canadian Department of Defence To Fight Social Media Election Meddling
  • Participation In NATO Research Task Group On Social Media Threat Detection

TORONTO, April 21, 2020 — Datametrex AI Limited (the “Company” or “Datametrex”) (TSXV: DM, FSE: D4G, OTC: DTMXF ) wishes to provide additional specifics on the previously announced news release regarding acquiring the rights to import COVID-19 test kits from South Korea. An application for approval was made to Health Canada under the Fast-Track program on April 9th, 2020.

As part of the submission, the Company has submitted a Medical Devices Interim Order Request Form under Interim Order Respecting the Importation and Sale of Medical Devices for Use in Relation to COVID-19 pursuant to subsection 30.1(1) of the Food and Drugs Act signed by the Minister of Health on March 18, 2020. This Interim Order (IO) will allow Health Canada to issue expedited review and approval for the sale of these test kits in Canada.

The Company has represented to Health Canada that it will be able to provide a minimum first order of 200,000 units, followed by an additional 100,000 units on a weekly basis. Any purchase of the test kits by the Canadian government is conditional on prior receipt of Health Canada approval. Datametrex is currently working with Dr. Lisa Palleson-Stallan and Dr. Joseph Curtis to assist with obtaining Health Canada approval, and each has agreed to join the Company’s advisory board.

Dr. Joseph Curtis is the Chief Scientific Officer and founder of BioQuant Laboratories (BQL) an independent testing laboratory providing analytical testing services to firms across the U.S. and Canada developing natural product medicines for human and animal health. Dr. Curtis has twenty-five years of experience across and has held various executive positions within public and private sector firms. Working across the public health emergency medical countermeasures continuum, he supported the USA’s blood and tissue preparedness and response programs managed by the American Red Cross. In this capacity, he served as the Director, Biomedical Headquarters Facility Quality Assurance coordinating performance excellence programs across a nation-wide network of manufacturing and testing facilities delivering $2 billion of cellular therapies and transfusion medicine products to over 3,000 hospitals across the US.

Dr. Lisa Palleson-Stallan obtained her Ph.D in International Business with Honours in the U.K. She ran a European Union funded project on technology and Innovation and completed post doctoral work at the World Health Organization (WHO) publishing on Tobacco Cessation. She created her first retail company, Lotuswear, which grew into a 100 employee + company and had the role as presidentand CEO. She became an early adopter in several industries and has continued building value from the ground up. She has built a successful consultancy company that targets the Asian marketplace within the Health space. Dr Palleson-Stallan has been given role and title of Global Health Advisor to assist the Chinese Government with unconditional support and authority to conduct negotiations regarding how to best to combat the spread of Covid-19.

“We are thrilled to be in a position to bring high quality test kits to Canada to help flatten the curve and save lives. We are doing everything we can to provide Health Canada with the required information to move forward. We are looking forward to solving these problems alongside Dr. Palleson-Stallan and Dr. Curtis.”, says Marshall Gunter, CEO of the Company.

Datametrex anticipates that it will have little or no upfront costs associated with importing these test kits. Assuming Health Canada approves the test kits and they are subsequently purchased by the Canadian government, manufacturer will ship the test kits directly to the Canadian government or hospitals, and Datametrex will not be involved in the shipping, warehousing or distribution process.

80% of Americans believe they read #coronavirus “fake news” in the early stages of the epidemic – SPONSOR: Datametrex AI Limited $DM.ca

80% of Americans believe they read coronavirus “fake news” in the early stages of the epidemic

  • A Pew survey of 8,914 US adults found that 4 in 5 Americans believe they were misled by the media about the coronavirus situation
  • About half of the participants gave examples of this misinformation, and at least a part of it wasn’t actually fake news

by Mihai Andrei

We’ve been covering the COVID-19 pandemic since January, when it was still a “mysterious virus in Wuhan”. Like everyone else, we didn’t know what to make of it at first — and we were shocked to see how quickly and dramatically the situation developed.

We did our best to cover the available information accurately, but we noticed something weird happening in the comment section and the emails we were getting. A lot of people were upset with our coverage and felt like we weren’t communicating the threat properly — about half of the complaints were saying we were exaggerating the risks. The other half claimed we weren’t explaining the risks enough. Source: Pew Research Center.

A similar feeling seems to be reported in much of the American population. The largest group of responses in the Pew survey (41% of all who provided claims) felt they were misled about the level of risk. The sentiment was divided into two roughly equal sides: 22% felt the information falsely elevated the risk, while 15% felt it downplayed the risk. In particular, people in the latter group cited not only the media but also the administration and the president, who promised an early end to the problem and repeatedly underplayed the risks posed by the coronavirus.

It’s safe to say that President Trump’s intervention has been a major contributor to misinformation, as he repeatedly came out saying that the coronavirus is less dangerous than the flu. But this statement was also found in several media outlets. Just as the administration fumbled its response on multiple levels, so, too, did the media by taking too long in communicating a clear message about the coronavirus situation.

It was only on March 15 when the CDC told the country to stop gathering in groups, and at the time, the virus was already spreading in the US. The government also urged people not to buy any type of face masks, but then changed its recommendation, causing even more confusion.

Americans’ opinions are also mixed about how much misinformation they have seen. According to the Pew survey, 12% believe they’ve seen “a lot”, and 20% believe they’ve seen “none at all”, with the rest stating that they’ve seen “some” or “not much” misinformation.
