S. obviously the position with Amazon and APN network was a big part of these you know fortune 600 introductions and they bring the credibility as you know we are young company and people just learning now you looking sites really is you know from a Canadian perspective now having our largest telco telus plan associated to the products and marketing and opening the doors it is game changing for loop and and shareholders most definitely and I want to make sure people understand the magnitude of this it could even of the settle headline says accepted to Telus IoT. marketplace this is centrally is for the whole basket everything Luke does tell this is not gonna be selling to their customers across the country. Yes is the same before we’ve got our our full B. device and our data analytics insights component are automated marking in the pilot that’s ongoing right now and doing extremely well as we come to wrap that up here next month. You know the contact tracing venue tracing is obviously front center I mean we’re a little more fortunate out here in BC but these calls now with everything being shut down again and closing the economy that’s not an option and you know it is going to have to re open here and Lucas transformative gateway and it is in our conversations with the government level now that’s exactly what it’s about is not just a band aid we’ve captured huge interest now the provincial and federal level based upon our ability to apply the data across a multitude of different touch points and now whether it’s health care whether it’s the contact tracing federal for you know whether it’s more vehicle branch our ability to tie it all together is what’s putting us in these positions and very proud excited out tell us a wave and then the live like when making key interactions to us then for everyone at home what I love so much about what Luke does is it’s not just contact tracing it’s not just some marketing enhancement the contact tracing is almost you know the first door and you know we all have to have that but then while it’s there loop uses that to help enhance your retailers government any form of business enterprise to then further transact with me and and not just transactional but Hey George likes this artificial intelligence picking up this with George like let’s off from this so it’s all close down which means greater safety for everybody and greater revenue for the venue’s government businesses that that need it let’s talk about tell us now rob. Why did you choose tell us or that the child was chose you ought you know how to white white tell us a loop. What is tell us is obviously is important to us for many reasons I have a family history my godfather was actually former presencia a BC tel which was acquired you as part of the deal will tell us back then so it’s very interesting time from that aspect in one of our board members it was key in implementing this tell us introduction Peter green. Course with his history would tell us is unparalleled so it was a no brainer for us on many different levels and as we talked about the innovation what Luke brings to the table and transcending IoT. space in itself are offering a new exciting product it’s multi faceted and unparalleled in the current IT space was as we see now they’ve they’ve been quite excited about it and relationship continues to grow and grow and is let’s get more exciting yeah look I’ve been doing this for 20 years it’s a very rare when a small cap company gets one deal of any kind does with a global with a national powerhouse and and again I’m not a monster company like tell us one let alone 2 and moving the relationship forward what do you think and I you have yet to gas and and maybe from your conversation tell us what’s driving it from their side to be parting with loops so quickly moving forward is that because they’re seeing the economy shutting down business shutting down everything shutting down and they know that they need a solution now to get out to their customers you think that’s the big driver here well part of it George I mean what we do is completely relevant today right course did the other side of it though it is telling us is always looking and reading when it comes to innovation and providing value to their business customers so it it’s it’s good to win win that alternately providing value solving problems for their customers and further entrenching yeah the tallest Brandon product offering and terming sticky. A new line revenues for them as well to their shareholders and more importantly right now today is going to be putting our name and stab together on some of these huge venue tracing opportunities but some very significant players. Tell us didn’t just hand this to you though obviously you know in the small cap world we know the gravity of the loop’s technology and solutions and we’ve seen the names university of Houston all on and on so we won’t go through all those but I’m sure Luke yeah we’re sold out of the loop I had to but tell us how to make a jump through some hoops so what was it like in order to get you know the relationship to this to this level because they they’ve got privacy concerns I got all sorts of concerns what how rigorous was it to get to this point. It is about 7 months you know data privacy security product all of all of the audits here is a big deal and much like went through the Amazon as well of course but you know at the end of the day you know we’ve architected our solution in a manner that checks all the boxes and now from a health standpoint in something other projects and events that are about to unfold here puts us in a tremendous opportunity and consistent into other opportunities that are in verticals that’s and I never even thought of. So just really speaks to the agility of the solution and providing value and relevancy to the loop shareholders of course and tell us as long. I commend tell us for kind of being first to the table because it usually one massive hurdle for George com software to get it to get on the table is something who else is using you and say well nobody you be the first and nobody wants to be the first tells dad hats off to them but now if there’s one thing I know about that world the the that enterprise world as they play follow the leader a lot what kind of example do you think this relationship brings to I know it I mean you announced already that you could talk to 2 major telecoms again 2 major telecoms U. S. what does this do for advancing all the relationships that need that that you’ve been managing for the last few months yeah you’re you’re right no no one wants to be first that is the biggest the biggest challenge by by far in in the beginning and I’m extremely appreciative for tell us and what they’ve done hi Andrew Turner played a big part of it their director striding items he you know it it is for site to see where we can take can enhance what they have today extremely appreciative for that what it’s done is it’s just that it’s brought credibility there’s a lot of eyeballs now waiting to see where we go outside of our pilots where now this agreement takes it about a couple calls already from some of the others that we’ve previously spoken with and it’s kind of a formal if you will right everyone to your point follow the leader they are very much like sheep and that’s what was exciting to me that tell us is so innovative and looking to transcend IT space and Michael cera and all of their team there is tremendous leadership and I’m very proud to be part of that and I got to read you broadband or Turner so I just kind of scroll down on the press release here and I’ve got to read this quote because it’s one thing for Lupin agora com. To do a a partnership together to announce partnership and you say great things about me and I said great things about you we expect that you know these massive companies like tell us they don’t they don’t say things lightly 9 they’re they’re not in the business of of of just pumping your tyres just because so I want to read this this Amanda Turner tells VP of strategic operations by it doesn’t get much better than that he said by partnering with innovative and leading I’ll T. development company such as loop were insuring that our customers have access some of the most advanced I OT. business solutions in the world I mean I know how cool and calm you are and how call for you’ve been in your technology from day one yeah we met and well before that obviously but does that still give you goosebumps is still make you kind of you know. Bench yourself when you hear something like that from the likes of Dallas. He yeah for sure I mean it’s it’s you know it’s it’s nice to hear and I mean I don’t do this for compliments you know this is an exciting but it is 1 of many deals that were working on at this size and magnitude and larger quite honestly so for me it’s all about and even process hi George you know it’s another piece of the puzzle and road map in it all out patient switch so as I’m getting older is something I’ve learned and that these things take time and of course you know a lot of investors expect everything overnight but you know put a side by side of many small cap stock the 2 year you know in the trading history and look into what we brought to the table our future is extremely bright well generally speaking you’re right investors from apple down to the tiniest micro cap want things to happen quickly I gotta tell ya I don’t know of anyone that’s complaining about loop though because the the speed that you guys been going or in 2020 I don’t think there’s anybody complaining in fact there by lot of people saying holy smokes get out how do we figure this fast yeah we’re just getting started I mean we we have an incredibly talented team you know I I’ve got some of the greatest tac engineers you know in the world clearly. This here in our front in our marketing team is is brilliant and and our sales in a recent edition of my Cannavaro RSVP now and you know down in the US is opening doors like no tomorrow you know we all we all work is is one and it truly is a team and family so what would be known students are you know it’s it’s pretty exciting to see what we’ve accomplished in a very short time but I mean we’re we’re just you know we kind of went from crawl to walk. We’re still in call mode you know we’re position now with 2021 it’s gonna be a lot of fun once we get to jogging so. Walter this much out here it looks like you’re full on Usain bolt’s sprinting all right so for for all and that’s our perception out here because the small cap world we don’t see many companies move this fast on the business side and it’s interesting to hear you say you’re still a crawl sent you saying we’re still the first anywhere just warming up. Why it is because I mean you know when you do partnerships like with NC double a and yes P. N. N. Japanese groups I mean it is just starting to evolve I mean then the pandemic you know there there’s no playbook here George right now this is all ad hoc an on the fly and it speaks volumes to what we are able to put together with you know Amazon web services and our tech team here to to create something literally overnight that now is having such an impact notice here in Canada but in the US it is it is I mentioned before it’s very difficult to you know I play cross border and you know just little company in Vancouver Canada is not transcending and providing these solutions to solve some of the largest players in the game. That’s what excites me. So here we are we’ve just started Q. 4 centrally right we’ve just started Q. 4 and you’ve announced the other kind of news that most couples would be envious of if they’re not if they announce it 12 months from now you know so you’re moving fast what’s the future road map with tell us because this is now this is a relation to class of number 2 and then maybe you know what’s the road map look at I’m not gonna ask for next 12 months that’s just to grab one of the next 3 to 6 months look like in terms of you know what you’re going after. Yeah health care is is huge part of it and it’s something that you know I haven’t spoke about before but it is something we’ve been working on hi there some very exciting opportunities that we’ve been presented with here in Canada and and the U. S. that we were looking to complete and that’s that’s that’s gonna be game changing you know those cell cycles are extremely long you know like I said with cold wet and the pandemic there the sense of urgency is and tremendously in the wind in our sails you know it’s. Things are typically we’re seeing 3 to 5 years cell cycles and just like with NC double a you know the these things here we’ve been out to close in 30 days 60 days in some cases so health care you will be one very interesting vend. Partnership issue will reseller some very exciting things that’ll be transpiring there as well and many different verticals and size and scale out where I’m very very excited about the George is with our our new deal that we signed for the UK and Europe was Steve gray we’ve got tremendous opportunity over there from a technical perspective as well actually tell us what time from a retail perspective our products are absolutely perfect for that marketplace and your retells customer base you know if that firm saw the press release but some of them just the biggest of the biggest names right. Us State Farm CST was truly a legend hi is probably one most well respected guys in the C. P. G. retail space so for him to actually approach us I didn’t go according Stevie knocked on our door while so I mean that’s that that got my juices flowing and excited because you know with his background with Tesco and Aldi I mean we’re talking huge huge chains are thousands and thousands of locations these are the quality of the leads that Steve puts us in front of right out of the gate so it’s it’s very exciting we’ll see some continued expansion Indonesia that’s going strongly wall we have got a chance talk about a lot yet but Australia New Zealand are another interesting opportunities that are ticking along nicely but loose loops technology is borderless right that there are no borders. Yeah no no most definitely and when you know it’s we’ll see as he said the next 12 months will now be leveraging these entrails and opportunities to take to the next level is he said no one likes to be first we’ve had some interesting groups in NC double a in. What would tell us and that’s been very fortunate for these kind of groups to step up and say yeah man let’s go you know either very exciting so we will see some huge rapid growth and some very big opportunities here or not we’re not done yet this is just the beginning and I think your you know so like I said I don’t. I don’t hang my hat on what we’ve done here is we’ve we’ve done literally nothing to date other than get going so that the fine now comes from my team building that commercialized product which they did and now leveraging each of these opportunities and you know he is I would say only successful as the 5 people you surround yourself with. You kind of average you know for us I’ve always conditions these channel reseller partners and best of breed partners and multitude of different industries because it’s it’s it’s the trusted sources the credibility and it’s the power and strength will we bring to that partnership from an execution standpoint now that transcends new line revenues for them and further enhances their existing relationships so will be extremely active here in the last quarter and then down the stretch as they say they come and and for those who are new to the story again because the yelled at because the headline today in the trading activities all no doubt their new people watching one thing about Luke’s partners we see small cap companies announced partnerships all the time you know George rob or partnering and then you don’t hear anything about it. In loops case they signed with vendor one the largest point of sale software companies in the world and within a month rob them 30 days to other customers were already look customers that select paid off immediately at the end and then BTG sports. Are you signed a partnership with the reseller partnership with and bam Las Vegas Bob Las Vegas bubble NC double I am G. am so what I what not only doing great things on the direct side really what I really like is you’re not just signing partnership for the sake of partnership you’re signing partnership people we’re gonna we’re going to deliver so I I’m can’t wait to see what SG retailed us. Yeah for sure I mean I don’t do deals for the sake of doing deals I mean I do deals to you know make money again position and strength and you know for us it’s all about execution and you know the one thing that I can say is that you know we we’ve we’ve walked the walk and talk the talk as they say right so you know I’m certainly confident we’re doing under fully understand what the opportunity where we’re headed and will continue to execute and our senior leadership team as I said is doing a fantastic job and we’re very excited for the last quarter. Well rob ended there and I’m gonna tell you the one thing I love about these videos is what comes through that you can’t see on a press release and that is the fact that despite. Signing this agreement announcing this news will the biggest enterprise the country. You look like we’re talking about you just went for a walk in the park and that kind of that kind of calm you know leadership is powerful the C. and and I love that that came through here for one say. Well there you go. For you at home you’ve been watching or it’s been listening in by podcast Robinson the CEO of loop insights to cover trades on the TSX venture exchange on the stock symbol M.

Loop Insights $MTRX.ca Selected as the Premier Venue Tracing and Fan Engagement Solution for NCAA College Basketball “Bubble” in Las Vegas $RACMF $QUIS.ca $MCLD.ca $NXO.ca

  • Announced the signing of its first deal with partner bdG Sports to provide venue tracing and enhanced fan engagement solutions for its #VegasBubble, which will feature NCAA Division I men’s and women’s basketball when the new season launches next month
  • bdG, one of the nation’s leading content providers in college basketball programming, is playing host to multiple men’s and women’s college basketball tournaments as well as non-conference matchups and opportunities for additional regular-season games
  • Labeled the “#VegasBubble,” bdG has worked closely with MGM Resorts to establish comprehensive health and safety protocols for its participants, officials, and game operations personnel with Loop’s venue tracing platform anchoring the overall plan
  • Games are to be played at MGM Grand Garden Arena, Mandalay Bay Events Center, and T-Mobile Arena between November 25 and December 22, 2020, in Las Vegas

VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 8, 2020 – Loop Insights Inc. (TSXV: MTRX) (OTCQB: RACMF) (the “Company” or “Loop”), a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence (“AI”) to drive automated marketing, venue tracing, and contactless solutions to the brick and mortar space, announces the signing of its first deal with partner bdG Sports (“bdG”) to provide venue tracing and enhanced fan engagement solutions for its #VegasBubble, which will feature NCAA Division I men’s and women’s basketball when the new season launches next month.

LOOP ALLOWS #VEGASBUBBLE TO ACHIEVE CONTACTLESS AND CASHLESS GOALS TOWARD ECONOMIC RECOVERY FOR LAS VEGAS

The global pandemic has overturned nearly every team’s schedule for the upcoming season. It has created the need for an easily accessible destination location where teams can play under the same health and safety protocols. In response to the revised NCAA Division I 2020-21 season, bdG, one of the nation’s leading content providers in college basketball programming, is playing host to multiple men’s and women’s college basketball tournaments as well as non-conference matchups and opportunities for additional regular-season games.

Labeled the “#VegasBubble,” bdG has worked closely with MGM Resorts to establish comprehensive health and safety protocols for its participants, officials, and game operations personnel with Loop’s venue tracing platform anchoring the overall plan. Games are to be played at MGM Grand Garden Arena, Mandalay Bay Events Center, and T-Mobile Arena between November 25 and December 22, 2020, in Las Vegas.

“Our No. 1 priority in offering up a safe and secure environment for our teams was to have a robust safety plan,” said Brooks Downing, CEO of Kentucky-based bdG Sports. “And as a complementary asset to our testing that we are planning to implement is Loop Insight’s venue tracing. It’s easy to implement and will help ensure that our teams will be safe and secure whether they are in the resort or the gym.”

The added layer of protection requires no app download and only a tap of the user’s device to check-in for protection and alerts. Loop’s SmarTap devices will be installed to log every individual that enters the convention center’s team areas, practice sites, and the arenas. Each individual will check-in using their Loop provided contact tracing wallet pass. In the case a person tests positive during one of bdG’s COVID-19 tests, Loop’s solution allows event staff to quickly identify individuals in proximity to that person and isolate potentially infected individuals as soon as possible for follow-up testing.

Moreover, Loop’s contactless ticketing solution will add a further layer of protection by removing the manual processes associated with ticketing, while also delivering artificial intelligence marketing solutions. This will provide real-time personalized promotions and targeted engagement that reinvent the live fan experience.

“Interest in Loop’s integrated contactless platform by NCAA Division I conferences, schools, and now events have been significant over the past couple of months as they desperately search for best of breed solutions that will allow them to safely restart operations and generate revenue,” said Rob Anson, CEO of Loop Insights. “Being selected for the Vegas bubble is more validation and another major opportunity for Loop to showcase our contactless capabilities on a large-scale project with a global audience. With this agreement, it is fair to say that Loop continues to be the leader in live venue contactless technology.”

CHANNEL RESELLER PARTNERSHIP WITH BDG SPORTS YIELDS IMMEDIATE BIG RESULTS

On August 13, Loop announced a channel reseller partnership with bdG Sports, a leading representation, event management, and public relations firm operating within the global sports marketing industry. bdG Sports is one of the largest college basketball content providers in the United States, having managed NCAA Division I tournaments across North America, including destination tournaments in Southwest Florida, Las Vegas, Canada, and The Bahamas.

Additionally, bdG manages two professional golf tournaments on the Korn Ferry Tour in the Caribbean and has an extensive background with both the LPGA and PGA TOUR. The firm boasts relationships with brands such as Nike, ESPN, Gatorade, and MGM Resorts International. As a result of COVID-19, these staple events and many other bdG events have been disrupted, with no plans for commencement without a solution for fans, athletes, and staff’s safety.

The partnership’s purpose is for Loop’s contactless tracing & ticketing solution to provide bdG sporting events with an opportunity to commence and provide economic recovery for clients. This first and significant announcement to implement Loop into bdG’s #VegasBubble in just 45 days into the partnership is a powerful testimony to the need for Loop’s contactless solution capabilities.

Brooks Downing states, many, within our extensive network of business, are desperately searching for innovative solutions that will allow them the opportunity to support a safe environment for fans, staff, and athletes, but also optimize their revenue streams that warrant the restart of operations. Loop effectively solves both of these problems with its leading venue tracing solution, which will provide the confidence needed as teams decide to restart their schedules. And while this tool will allow fans to return to events, Loop’s contactless, artificial intelligence marketing solutions will provide personalized promotions and targeted engagement, leading to higher conversions and transaction revenue at all events. This level of personalized omnichannel marketing is incredibly valuable for our clients’ resumption plans.”

BDG PROVIDES DIRECT ACCESS TO ITS LIVE GLOBAL SPORTING EVENTS AND ITS LARGE NETWORK OF CLIENTS WITHIN NBA, NHL, NCAA, AND PROFESSIONAL GOLF

In addition to implementing Loop’s contact tracing product into its current and future events, bdG Sports also plays host to major global sports events and will be implementing Loop’s solutions. Additionally, bdG will represent Loop as a reseller to its current and future clients and enables direct access to the bdG Sports’ client base, which the Company anticipates will accelerate its growth opportunities in the sports industry.

“This is a major opportunity for Loop as live event operators are looking for two things that we can immediately solve: first, they are desperately looking to safely re-open facilities in efforts to save their respective seasons, and secondly, they are looking for new line revenue opportunities to offset the losses from reduced fan capacity in stadium,” Anson said.

VIDEO – Empower Clinics $CBDT.ca Acquires Testing Lab And Lands First COVID-19 Testing Contract For Major Film & TV Studio $VPT.ca $ADK.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 6:42 PM on Wednesday, October 7th, 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 almost every medical cannabis and CBD company would kill for … but then these numbers came in for the first two quarters:

Revenues $USD 1.7M vs $745,000 = 130% Gain

Patient Visits 12,400 vs 5,500 = 125% Gain

CBDT has now delivered growth in 4 successive financial reports (Q4, FY 2019, Q1 and Q2), so it is safe to say that superstar CEO Steve McAuley can officially claim victory on the turnaround he inherited in 2019.

But he is far from done.

In the last 36 hours, Empower announced:

1.  The acquisition of an 8,000 sq ft lab in Dallas (they do everything big over there) that can process 4,000 COVID-19 tests per day.  At the lowest price of $USD 80 per test and operating on just 1,000 tests per day, the clinic would deliver $USD 80,000 in revenue PER DAY.  We will let you do the math with the combination of higher prices + more tests per day.

2.  An agreement to run 1,000 COVID-19 RT-PCR Tests for a major film & TV studio, which could lead to much more business if all goes well with this first batch. To this end, the lab has already processed tests for six different film and television productions since September 1st (prior to the acquisition) and continues to build both confidence and credibility within the industry.

It doesn’t take much to see that the lab has the potential to take Empower to a whole new level.  Specifically, if you’re an investor in Well Health (WELL:TSX) and/or CloudMD (DOC:TSXV) you have to start taking a serious look at Empower as the next great potential health and wellness company.  It’s already proven solid revenues and growth from its clinics, is expanding its telemedicine practice very nicely and now has the power to quickly generate significant enterprise level revenues from its newly acquired medical diagnostics laboratory … which is already bearing fruit just 24 hours after the acquisition.

Can McAuley pull it off?  First consider what he has already accomplished after inheriting a catastrophe of a company in early 2019.  Secondly, 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 retail environment in recent history and turn it into significant growth through Q2 2020 … with some jet fuel now added here in Q4.

And if you MISSED Well Health and CloudMD, you really need to take a close look at Empower as the next great small cap health & wellness company.

Loop Insights $MTRX.ca Enters Into Agreement for Intellectual Property Acquisition of Global Location Data Intelligence Company Locally.io $RACMF $QUIS.ca $MCLD.ca $NXO.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:14 AM on Wednesday, October 7th, 2020
https://miro.medium.com/max/3150/1*f9msDHyceA_TbRM30jQhsw.png
  • Entered into an agreement to acquire the intellectual property assets of Digital2Go Media Networks, Inc., d/b/a Locally.io, a global leader in location data intelligence and real-time consumer engagement
  • With over 50 billion location signals collected so far, Locally has helped well-known brands and companies such as Ford, BMW, Wyndham Resorts, Calvin Klein, Kroger, Chipotle, Napa Auto Parts, 7-11 access deep consumer behavioral insights across all their verticals. 
  • The Locally solutions help businesses connect their physical and digital worlds by providing mobile location insights and marketing integration capabilities

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 07, 2020 — Loop Insights Inc. (MTRX:TSX.V RACMF:OTCQB) (the “Company” or “Loop”) a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence (“AI”) to drive automated marketing, venue tracing, and contactless solutions to the brick and mortar space, announces that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the intellectual property (“IP”) assets (the “Agreement”) of Digital2Go Media Networks, Inc., d/b/a Locally.io (the “Vendor” or “Locally”), a global leader in location data intelligence and real-time consumer engagement.

Locally had established itself as a premier provider of location and human movement intelligence data. The Locally solutions help businesses connect their physical and digital worlds by providing mobile location insights and marketing integration capabilities. With over 50 billion location signals collected so far, Locally has helped well-known brands and companies such as Ford, BMW, Wyndham Resorts, Calvin Klein, Kroger, Chipotle, Napa Auto Parts, 7-11 access deep consumer behavioral insights across all their verticals. 

THE LOCALLY IP ACQUISITION TO POSITION LOOP AS A LEADER IN ONLINE AND ON-PREMISE REAL-TIME DATA MONETIZATION 

By combining the Loop and Locally technology stacks, existing and future Loop customers will benefit from enhanced location and mobile data insights, additional targeted marketing capabilities, and new revenue streams via data monetization with brands, marketers, large enterprises, financial institutions, and more. Additionally, the worldwide COVID19 pandemic has driven incredible demand for such location intelligence capabilities to inform contact tracing, safety and security protocols, and reopening of business across all verticals. 

LOOP TO REMAIN ON THE OFFENCE AS A RESULT OF STRONG CASH POSITION

As a result of COVID19, many tech companies have struggled to raise capital. Loop has greatly benefited from two successful completions of private placements and has further bolstered its cash position through the most recent exercise of warrants. Loop is extremely well positioned and is currently exploring multiple other merger and acquisition opportunities to expand new revenue channels. 

Rob Anson, Loop’s President & CEO, comments: “The Locally IP acquisition is a significant strategic move as the company continues to build our Loop Data Exchange. The acquisition significantly reduces the company’s timing and cost of development. The Loop Data Exchange will enable the company to benefit from substantial revenues by monetizing Loop’s current bricks and mortar retail data to 3rd party e-commerce companies such as Amazon, Google, and Facebook.

The combination of retail transaction insights plus location data has a real measurable value that will offer new and increased revenue streams for Loop when productized. We are excited to complete this transaction, and we believe Loop shareholders will benefit from a new and very compelling asset that we expect will contribute significant value to the company.”

As part of the transaction, Locally founder and former CEO, Michael Canevaro, will join Loop as the SVP of Business Development and Partnerships. Mike’s impressive background will help further establish Loop as one of the leading disruptive AI Companies in the broader US marketplace. 

TERMS OF THE DEAL

In consideration for the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets, Loop will pay to, or to the direction of, the Vendor $199,500 payable by the issuance of 554,166 common shares in the capital of Loop (“Payment Shares”) at a deemed price of $0.36 per Payment Share upon the date of closing of the Acquisition (“Closing Date”), subject to the Escrow Conditions (as defined below).

100% of the Payment Shares (being 554,166 Payment Shares) shall be released from escrow on the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day following the Closing Date. Terms of the agreement will be subject to approval by both Locally and Loop Insight’s board of directors as well as regulatory and TSXV approval.

Empower Clinics $CBDT.ca Acquires Medical Laboratory Capable of Processing 4,000 #COVID-19 RT-PCR Tests Per Day $VPT.ca $ADK.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:02 AM on Tuesday, October 6th, 2020

Kai Medical Laboratory, a state-of-the-art diagnostics laboratory in Dallas, TX, will advance Empower COVID-19 national testing programs for enterprise clients, including movie and television studios, businesses, colleges and universities

  • Pursuant to the terms of a membership interest purchase agreement dated October 5, 2020, has completed the acquisition of Kai Medical Laboratory, LLC (“KAI“) from KTM5 Holdings, LLC, NULV11, LLC and Consistent Investment Group, LLC (together, the “Vendors“), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Empower Healthcare Assets Inc. (“Empower Health“), for consideration having an aggregate value of US$1,971,857 (CAD$2,613,478), effective as of October 5, 2020 (the “Transaction“).

VANCOUVER BC / October 6, 2020 / EMPOWER CLINICS INC. (CSE:CBDT) (Frankfurt:8EC) (OTCQB:EPWCF) (“Empower” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that, pursuant to the terms of a membership interest purchase agreement dated October 5, 2020, has completed the acquisition of Kai Medical Laboratory, LLC (“KAI“) from KTM5 Holdings, LLC, NULV11, LLC and Consistent Investment Group, LLC (together, the “Vendors“), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Empower Healthcare Assets Inc. (“Empower Health“), for consideration having an aggregate value of US$1,971,857 (CAD$2,613,478), effective as of October 5, 2020 (the “Transaction“).

COVID-19 RT-PCR TESTING IS THE GOLD STANDARD THAT ALLOWS EMPOWER TO ROLL OUT NATIONAL PHASE 4 TESTING PROGRAMS

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 movie and television studios that require reliable, accurate, fast and mass batch testing capabilities in order to resume production in a safe and compliant manner.

“Adding Kai Medical Laboratory to the Empower Clinics family enables us to dramatically expand COVID-19 testing capability, for our get back to work & get back to school initiatives as part of our national rollout plans” said Steven McAuley, Empower’s Chairman & CEO. “Kai Medical has a newly built high-complexity lab offering a wide array of testing services, that we will leverage to serve the massive demand for national COVID testing in the U.S. Additionally, as flu season arrives and a potential second-wave of COVID takes hold, the technical infrastructure of Kai Medical allows Empower to capture testing demand and bring new technical testing products to market.”

COVID-19 TESTING PROGRAMS FOR EMPLOYERS AND DIRECT TO CONSUMER ALREADY UNDERWAY AT KAI LABORATORY

To further assist with COVID-19 testing, Kai Medical Laboratory has also developed two key programs in Texas and Arizona. The first program is a direct-to-consumer program that leverages the ability of various healthcare providers to order and administer both the RT-PCR test and the Antibody test. This increases the ability of the general population to be tested, in certain circumstances.

  • Announced the development of an advanced statistical model to assess the current state of the pandemic and to monitor COVID-19 hotspots using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
  • As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread around the globe, the Company is further developing its Nexalogy AI to build automated tracking systems that will mine vast amounts of data using NexaIntelligence, from social media and traditional news, for signs of new COVID-19 outbreaks being discussed in real-time
  • According to a 2018 study by the McKinsey Global Institute, entitled: Notes from the AI frontier: Applications and value of deep learning, these capabilities are estimated to have the potential to create between approximately $9.5 trillion and $15.4 trillion in annual global economic value

Toronto, Ontario–(October 5, 2020) – Datametrex AI Limited (TSXV: DM) (FSE: D4G) (OTC Pink: DTMXF) (the “Company” or “Datametrex”) is pleased to announce the development of an advanced statistical model to assess the current state of the pandemic and to monitor COVID-19 hotspots using Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and Machine Learning (“ML”).

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic’s stranglehold on the world, leaders increasingly embraced advanced analytics and AI, for good reason. According to a 2018 study by the McKinsey Global Institute, entitled: Notes from the AI frontier: Applications and value of deep learning, these capabilities are estimated to have the potential to create between approximately $9.5 trillion and $15.4 trillion in annual global economic value.[1]

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread around the globe, the Company is further developing its Nexalogy AI to build automated tracking systems that will mine vast amounts of data using NexaIntelligence, from social media and traditional news, for signs of new COVID-19 outbreaks being discussed in real-time.

Secondly, the Company is developing an early alarm mapping system to keep watch for the pandemic using an advanced ML statistical model to monitor COVID-19 on the Lexical Map. This is developed using automatic text analysis that identifies with coloured clusters the sub-themes to understand COVID-19 noise versus signal quickly and certainly underscores the potential of AI and ML.

Predicting positive results based on scientific mapping brings new developments to treatment in which clusters are systematically screened using computer algorithms for tracking and tracing for viral testing protocols leading to any subsequent quarantining and healthcare that may well be required.

This new system will collect and analyze COVID-19 data from Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, blogs, web forums, online news sites, Google Alerts and RSS feeds.

“Our AI pandemic management and analytics platform supports the modelling and monitoring of COVID-19. By leveraging smartphones and other digital technology, we use our analytics to produce metrics that help governments and communities evaluate trends to enable strategic and efficient deployment of resources,” said Marshall Gunter, CEO of the Company.
