We’re about to reap the rewards from all the groundwork and that is exciting to me … This will be our biggest year by a country mile” Watch this great interview with Loop Insights CEO, Rob Anson.

2020 was an extraordinary year and we hope you and your families are staying healthy and safe. COVID-19 has had a major impact on economies, families, and businesses. It has been one of Loop’s major focuses to combat the effects of this pandemic in order to help industries recover and thrive in this new normal. Throughout the year, my team and I have worked tirelessly to create products and solutions that would gain the trust of our partners such as Telus, Amazon Web Services, Vend, bdG Sports, and most recently, NTT DATA, so that they could have the confidence necessary to bring this into their global customer opportunities.
I am happy to report that we have accomplished this goal and as a result of these world-class partnerships, are now on the cusp of participating in global opportunities we never thought possible at the beginning of 2020. Moreover, we are very confident that additional significant developments will continue to be announced in 2021 when our partners and customers return from their holiday breaks to resume several high-level discussions across many verticals.
None of these accomplishments in 2020 and those awaiting us in 2021 would be possible without my great team and our great shareholders. I always express gratitude to my team and am especially grateful to the shareholders that have supported Loop this year. Our successes in 2020 have reflected the company’s long-term vision that we continue to execute. As we enjoy this holiday season to spend valuable time with our families, we are also enjoying a much needed but short break before returning to work to further execute on work that awaits us and our partners upon our return. The Loop Insights team has worked hard to achieve a year of incredible successes and looks forward to hitting the ground hungry and humble on behalf of our great shareholders. Thank you so much for your continued support which has been integral to our 2020 success and will be integral to our 2021 success.

Moreover, on December 11th, Loop announced the receipt of approximately $4,600,000 from the exercise of warrants up to December 10, 2020.

As such, the Company does not foresee the need for any financing with the exception of strategic client partners that may want to invest in Loop in order to participate in its growth.
Moreover, as the Company expects to generate meaningful revenue from its current and anticipated sales pipeline over the next 12 months, as well as, receive additional proceeds from further anticipated warrant exercises, the Company is confident it now has the war chest necessary to pursue all anticipated business opportunities as the demand for its solutions continues to grow on a weekly, if not daily basis.
CEO Rob Anson added “As shareholders can see from this year in review, Loop had an incredible year in 2020, and more importantly, is positioned with the right partners, products, pipeline, and financial resources to make the same quantum leap in 2021. Our success is reflective of our hard work and the exceptional quality of our people. Our team has grown and we’ve welcomed many passionate members who continue to drive innovation here at Loop. Despite the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Loop team has overcome all obstacles and continues to work to drive the growth of the company, whether working remotely or together in our Vancouver office.

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
