Universal PropTech $UPI.ca – An Integrated and Holistic Approach Stops the Spread of #Covid-19 in Public Facilities #AI #IoT $SNE $MSFT $HON

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:23 AM on Tuesday, January 19th, 2021

Public facilities serve their specific purposes, whether they be to educate children, support communities with meeting space and programs, house and support our elderly, maintain the movement of people, or supporting our emergency services resources. It is not an understatement to claim that ensuring these facilities are able to open and operate in a safe and healthy manner underpins the ability for our economy to re-open and thrive. There is no other way.

Despite the rolling out of vaccines, it is also obvious that while 2021 offers a light at the end of the tunnel, not much has changed from the devastation left from the wake of the 2nd wave. Newly identified strain variants don’t guarantee the long-term effectiveness of the vaccines, but resemble more of an equivalent of ongoing serious flu seasons. 

Thinking through how facilities can operate in a safe and healthy manner, what are to be likely challenges? What would success look like? 

Firstly, before people are able to enter a facility, there must be systems in place to assess, in real time, whether people have Covid-19. One way to eliminate the spread of the virus within the facility is ensuring that those who are asymptomatic and may be unaware, are denied access. There are a number of ways to accomplish this, ranging from regular testing, increased speed to generate results, and ability to manage access more effectively.

  • In this role, Bou-Mansour successfully led the expansion of Public Health Ontario’s testing capacity for the COVID-19 response.

TORONTO, ON / January 19, 2021 / Novamind Inc., (CSE:NM) (“Novamind” or the “Company”) a mental health company specialized in psychedelic medicine, announces the expansion of its leadership team with the appointment of Pierre Bou-Mansour, P.Eng., to the role of Chief Operating Officer. Effective immediately, Mr. Bou-Mansour will assume responsibility for ensuring operational excellence as Novamind develops its network of clinics, retreats, and research sites in 2021 and beyond.

An accomplished senior executive and leader, Pierre brings a wealth of experience managing large and complex healthcare organizations. Most recently, he served as the Chief Laboratory Operations Officer of Public Health Ontario, serving Canada’s largest province with over 14 million residents. In this role, Bou-Mansour successfully led the expansion of Public Health Ontario’s testing capacity for the COVID-19 response.

FansUnite $FANS.ca $FUNFF Enters into Partnership with OneComply to Assist with U.S. Licensing Strategy $SCR.ca $BRAG.ca $TNA.ca $FDM.ca $JJ.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:56 AM on Tuesday, January 19th, 2021
  • FansUnite Entertainment Inc. and Vancouver-based OneComply Inc. have entered into a partnership. OneComply, a compliance and licensing solution, will assist FansUnite as they enter additional North American legalized gaming jurisdictions by advising on protocol and strategy.
  • This move follows the June 2020 announcement by FansUnite of the amalgamation with Vancouver-based Askott Entertainment Inc. to create one of Canada’s leading online gaming companies, focused on sports betting, esports wagering, and casino games.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(January 19, 2021) –  FansUnite Entertainment Inc. (CSE: FANS) (OTCQB: FUNFF) (“FansUnite” or the “Company”) and Vancouver-based OneComply Inc. (“OneComply”) have entered into a partnership. OneComply, a compliance and licensing solution, will assist FansUnite as they enter additional North American legalized gaming jurisdictions by advising on protocol and strategy.

This move follows the June 2020 announcement by FansUnite of the amalgamation with Vancouver-based Askott Entertainment Inc. to create one of Canada’s leading online gaming companies, focused on sports betting, esports wagering, and casino games.

“We are pleased to be partnering with OneComply as we look to tackle the North American gaming market,” said Scott Burton, CEO of FansUnite. “As a licensed betting and iGaming company, we understand how difficult and nuanced the licensing process can be. With the help of OneComply, we will be able to streamline the process to enter new North American markets and showcase our suite of gaming solutions to a broader audience.”

The repeal of PASPA, being the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, has created a wave of newly regulated States across the United States’ gaming market. Companies seeking to gain market entry into these States face massive regulatory processes to obtain operational licenses. The United States legalized gaming industry is State-regulated, meaning companies need to file for each jurisdiction independently. These individual disclosure filings can be thousands of pages in size resulting in substantial internal and external expenses.

“The amount of opportunity in North America for new-to-market companies can be overwhelming given the various licensing processes and jurisdictional requirements, with companies no longer trying to enter one jurisdiction, but multiple jurisdictions simultaneously. This creates a tremendous amount of lag in productivity even with the most seasoned of compliance and legal teams,” said Cameron Conn, CEO of OneComply Inc. “We understand the importance FansUnite places on regulation, and we look forward to supporting them scale in the North American market.”
