We intend to deliver a future proof campus experience, so the next wave of Covid-19 does not close their doors for good. Loop is the complete solution.”  

University of Houstons Deputy Athletic Director David Tagliarino stated, “A main goal for us is to administer enhanced safety protocols and best practices, measures that instill confidence among our fans and guests during these challenging times due to Covid-19. Loop’s solution is appealing because it also provides fully automated and personalized fan experiences with large-scale user adoption and enhanced fan engagement opportunities. In addition to improving the way we interact with fans inside and outside the stadium, Loop’s contact tracing will greatly assist our efforts in returning fans to our venues in a safe and prudent manner.”

IoT and Big Data: 6 Retail and Financial Services Trends to Watch Out For

  • IoT Will Revolutionize Point of Sale (POS) Payments
  • The POS industry is projected to be worth an estimated $109 billion by 2025, and IoT technology will play no small role in making this happen: while the best POS systems available today have a number of impressive features, POS technology will only evolve.
  • The rise of smart POS systems will result in the widespread adoption of biometric POS, the rise of mobile POS payments, digital product tracking that eliminates queues and makes remote payments easy, and much more

More importantly, IoT and big data enable the effective storage, processing, and transmission of data in a way that is more secure while providing advanced analytics that thoroughly monitors and notifies you of potential data breaches. This will make POS systems more secure and reliable further enhancing the retail industry.Bamidele Onibalusi – September 3, 2020

While the impact of the IoT industry in the past few years has been nothing short of impressive, the disruption this technology will bring to the financial services market will be just as impactful.

According to a research study by Markets and Markets, the global banking and financial services IoT market is expected to grow from $249.5 million to $2.03 billion by 2023. That’s an eight-fold growth in just five years or a CAGR of approximately 52 percent. IoT technology in the retail industry is also expected to grow to $35 billion by the end of this year.While the impact of the IoT industry in the past few years has been nothing short of impressive, the disruption this technology will bring to the financial services market will be just as impressive. Click To Tweet

Below are six key trends that will drive the growth of IoT and big data in finance and retail.

1. IoT Will Make Risk Assessment Seamless and Easy

One area where IoT technology will be disruptive in the near future is that of risk assessment. Think about how risk assessment currently works in the financial services sector. It’s a very subjective process similar to the one that triggered the 2008 Great Recession. Now imagine a future that allows for smart risk assessment by using big data and IoT technologies.

First, IoT and big data will make it easy to acquire vast amounts of data that are used to determine a customers’ risk status. This data can then be smartly analyzed in a way that the risk profile of any company or individual becomes convenient and easy. The data can also be used to forecast future risks for individuals and organizations.

2. IoT Will Enhance and Automate Security in Financial Institutions

IoT technology will contribute to a more secure future, particularly in the retail and financial services industry. 

Connected smart cameras and motion sensors are just two of the smart technologies financial institutions and retailers can deploy for better security. These technologies will not only automatically react to intrusions by thieves and unauthorized third parties (by shutting down certain systems, locking down the premises so that the intruder is unable to leave, and immediately notifying you and providing an abundance of information that you can act upon), but it will also act to protect against environmental hazards that can pose security threats or result in damage.

3. IoT Will Revolutionize Point of Sale (POS) Payments

The POS industry is projected to be worth an estimated $109 billion by 2025, and IoT technology will play no small role in making this happen: while the best POS systems available today have a number of impressive features, POS technology will only evolve. The rise of smart POS systems will result in the widespread adoption of biometric POS, the rise of mobile POS payments, digital product tracking that eliminates queues and makes remote payments easy, and much more.

More importantly, IoT and big data enable the effective storage, processing, and transmission of data in a way that is more secure while providing advanced analytics that thoroughly monitors and notifies you of potential data breaches. This will make POS systems more secure and reliable further enhancing the retail industry.

4. More Efficient Inventory Management

Retailers very well know the cost of an inefficient inventory management system. Data shows that U.S. retailers lose an estimated $45 billion annually due to not having the required inventory in stock and a whopping $224 billion due to having excess inventory. 

IoT and big data will be able to fix inventory woes. Automated IoT inventory management systems that make real-time tracking of inventory easy at the point of sale will be in every retail store sooner rather than later. The inventory system automatically generates data to show currently in-stock items and effectively analyzes this data to predict future inventory requirements.

5. Smart Asset Movement and Monitoring

Asset monitoring is currently partially automated due to the use of computers and technology, but still involves a lot of manual process and checks. IoT and big data will change this.

First, IoT will automate the process of gathering data and real-time information that can be automatically analyzed to understand the current state of things and predict the future. IoT also makes effective use of sensors attached to assets to track them (paying attention to variables that include temperature, humidity, proximity, and movement) and then automatically generate useful data about these assets. This allows for enhanced real-time monitoring of the health and movement of assets.

6. Increasing Use of Wearable Tech for Financial Transactions

Smartwatches and wearable technology that automatically monitor human health and activity are increasingly prevalent. These devices provide essential information about the health of the wearer at all times. Now, think about something similar for payments: you walk into the bank and the bank’s IoT system connects to your wearable device which sends essential information about your activity to the bank. Not only does this eliminate a lot of time-wasting manual processes and improve customer satisfaction, but it also makes it easier to perform contactless transactions while at the same time ensuring optimal security.

The financial industry is already reaping the benefits of IoT and big data. As more businesses see the advantages of IoT, the adoption rate to improve outdated business practices will rapidly increase.

Why AI and IoT will play a big role in retail of tomorrow

  • While e-commerce’s growth has accelerated by “four to six years” according to a recent report published by Adobe indicated that on the ground retailers are now embracing digital-first approaches in order to acclimate to the new norms of social distancing and minimized contact
  • By enlisting artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, the retail sector is implementing new approaches to enhance customer experience, drive sales, and, most importantly, ensure the safety of employees and retailers in stores

The pandemic has left irreversible changes within the retail industry as consumer behavior during a time of limited and regulated movement evolved. A PYMNTS 2020 Remote Payments Study reported that mobile devices are the most popular device for online shopping, with up to 72% of consumers using their mobile devices to shop. 

The explosion of online shopping saw an increase of 146% in online retail orders as of April 21, 2020 when compared to the same period last year. While e-commerce’s growth has accelerated by “four to six years” according to a recent report published by Adobe indicated that on the ground retailers are now embracing digital-first approaches in order to acclimate to the new norms of social distancing and minimized contact. By enlisting artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, the retail sector is implementing new approaches to enhance customer experience, drive sales, and, most importantly, ensure the safety of employees and retailers in stores.  

AI

AI applications can accommodate multiple retail scenarios; AI in the retail market is set to hit US$19.9 billion by 2027, with leading brands already placing AI in storefronts. 

Luxury department store Neiman Marcus makes it easier for customers to find items through visual search. The company’s Snap.find.shop. app is powered by AI, and it enables customers to seek items that match closely with photos they’ve taken. 

At Macy’s, customers can seek the assistance of the company’s On Call app for a better shopping experience. Macy’s On Call app is tailored with answers for specific stores. Customers can chat with an AI-backed bot for inventory checking and directions to navigate around the store. Interestingly, the AI bot is able to detect if a customer is getting frustrated and alert a store associate for help.

These projects were already well in place before the pandemic but will play a bigger role post-COVID, serving as an example for other retailers seeking to incorporate technology. These AI-inspired solutions are customer-centric and could potentially take over the role of store associates, which helps reduce the risks for retail employees at this time. 

IoT 

If AI solutions are adopted for enhanced services and to ease the burden of store personnel, IoT is then famed for their data-driven approaches to turbocharge core operations in retail. 

Recently, Auchan Retail Portugal, with a network of 34 supermarkets and hypermarkets across the European country, announced it would deploy a fleet of autonomous robots for optimized shelf monitoring. 

These autonomous robots will circle around the stores up to three times daily to capture photos of every shelf and aisle. The captured photos are then digitized at scale with computer vision and IoT, and then converted into reports with actionable insights for store staff to act upon. The reports delivered through a mobile app will boost store employees’ efficiency in managing, prioritizing, and resolving shelf issues.Andre Vieira, Digital Director at Auchan Retail Portugal, noted that “innovation, through the search for digital strategies, focused on people and improving customer service is one of Auchan’s great bets. With the introduction of autonomous robots, Auchan wants to improve productivity in stores, and optimize the supply chain, freeing employees to focus 100% on the mission of providing a better customer experience.”

(“1drop”), 50,000 Universal Transport Medium (UTM®), Sterile Swabs with 16x100mm and Skirted Tubes. The Company is also shipping two (2) Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Detection System (“PCR”) machines along with software to ensure optimal assay performance of the samples, and 50,000 RNA extraction kits.

Datametrex anticipates that it has little or no upfront costs associated with the sale of these test kits.  All of the items are shipped directly from manufacturers to the purchaser’s mine operating sites in Peru and Surinam.

A publicly available survey provided by Statista with sources from Johns Hopkins University (CSSE), World Bank, and Insee, states that Peru is the most impacted country with the most deaths per million (908.8 deaths per million, at the date of this news release – source: https://bit.ly/3bikTRo). Also, Peru is the number two copper producer in the world and with the mining stoppages from the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with operational issues, mine output has declined by 23% over the first five months, with April and May registering declines of 33% and 41%, respectively, as stated by the International Copper Study Group recently reported – source: https://bit.ly/3i64Qc5

“Datametrex is glad to be able to help companies in Peru deal with this urgent situation. Assisting with the implementation of test kits is a fundamental response to the pandemic, and those mining companies that have been able to test more comprehensively have had greater success dealing with the pandemic,” says Marshall Gunter, CEO of the Company. “The reasoning is simple: An individual who tests positive can be isolated until they recover, and their contacts may be traced and similarly tested and isolated, effectively reducing the rate of transmission. We hope our technologies, combined with everyone’s efforts, contribute to the mitigation of the spread in operational mining sites.”

TORONTO, Sept. 01, 2020 – Datametrex AI Limited (the “Company” or “Datametrex”) (TSXV: DM, FSE: D4G, OTC: DTMXF ) is pleased to announce that the Company has submitted a Medical Devices Interim Order (“IO”) Request Form to approve PCL, Inc.’s (“PCL”) COV05 COVID19 Rapid Antigen Detection Kits to Health Canada.

This application is made under IO 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 August 24, 2020, for PCLCOV05 COVID19 Rapid Antigen Detection Kits. This 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, followed by an additional 200,000 units on a weekly basis. Any purchase of the test kits by the Canadian government is conditional on prior receipt of Health Canada approval.

These test kits are suitable for point of care tests. No extra equipment is needed. They are simple to use and results are available in 10 minutes.

“According to the manufacturer, PCL, this test can detect antigens of COVID-19 from a swab in the nose and throat to provide results in 5-10 minutes with over 86% accuracy,” said Marshall Gunter, CEO of Datametrex. “These almost-instant kits can be easily used at home. With the rise of cases in the United States and throughout the world, we at Datametrex believe it is critical to test and protect.”

The PCL Inc Antigen Detection kit has the CE Certificate meaning that the manufacturer and products have met EU declaration of standards for health, safety, and environmental protection, allowing this product to be sold within the 22 countries in the European Economic Area.

Health Canada must approve these COVID-19 test kits before they can be used in Canada. The Company plans to sell these kits in all countries where the kits have been approved for sale. 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.

Empower Clinics $CBDT.ca Announces Acquisition of Medical Diagnostics Laboratory $WEED.ca $CGC $ACB $APH $CRON.ca $OGI.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:06 AM on Tuesday, September 1st, 2020

Empower intends to acquire Kai Medical Laboratory, a state-of-the-art diagnostics laboratory located in the medical district of Dallas, TX to advance COVID-19 national testing programs

  • Entered into a non-binding term sheet to acquire the business of Kai Medical Laboratory, LLC, by way of a share or asset acquisition, subject to due diligence and customary closing conditions
  • Kai Medical Laboratory is a high-complexity CLIA and COLA accredited Laboratory that provides reliable and accurate testing solutions to hospitals, medical clinics, pharmacies, and employer groups
  • Kai Medical Laboratory offers a wide array of testing services ranging from hematology to hormone testing, endocrinology, toxicology, and immunology

VANCOUVER, BC / September 1, 2020 / EMPOWER CLINICS INC. (CSE:CBDT) (Frankfurt:8EC) (OTCQB:EPWCF) (“Empower” or the “Company“) today announces it has entered into a non-binding term sheet to acquire the business of Kai Medical Laboratory, LLC (“Kai Medical Laboratory“), by way of a share or asset acquisition, subject to due diligence and customary closing conditions.

Kai Medical Laboratory is a high-complexity CLIA and COLA accredited Laboratory that provides reliable and accurate testing solutions to hospitals, medical clinics, pharmacies, and employer groups. Kai Medical Laboratory offers a wide array of testing services ranging from hematology to hormone testing, endocrinology, toxicology, and immunology. These tests are done under the supervision of its well-qualified and highly experienced scientists, medical professionals, and pharmacists. https://www.kaimedicallaboratory.com

Kai Medical Laboratory has taken an active role in COVID-19 testing, battling the pandemic through RT-PCR testing and serology testing. 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.

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. The second is an Employer COVID-19 Compliance Program (ECCP) for business owners and employer groups to enable them to test and monitor their employees.

Texas program https://www.testtexasnow.com

Arizona program https://www.covidtest2u.com

Currently the lab has the capacity to complete in excess of 2,000 RT-PCR tests in one eight-hour shift by utilizing its Thermo Fisher QuantStudio 12k Flex testing machine. The lab also utilizes a Roche Cobas 6000 for COVID-19 Antibody testing, ensuring that Kai Medical Laboratory has the capability and capacity to serve a broad range of clients and test methods.

“Adding Kai Medical Laboratory to the Empower Clinics family enables us to dramatically expand COVID-19 testing capability and deliver phase four of our national rollout plan” said Steven McAuley, Empower’s Chairman & CEO. “Kai Medical has a newly built high-complexity lab offering a wide array of testing services, that together we will leverage to serve the massive demand for national COVID testing in the U.S. Further, 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 the additional growth revenues associated with it.”

The driving force behind Kai Medical Laboratory’s remarkable growth and success is Yoshi Tyler. Yoshi has a passion for being an entrepreneur, and overtime, she found her true calling in healthcare. Driven by this interest, she pursued her career in the healthcare industry for more than two decades. She helmed leadership positions at a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company for over thirteen years. These leadership experiences provided her with in-depth knowledge and industry insights that helped her to lead Kai Medical Laboratory towards growth.

Our mission is to change healthcare through science & innovative quality care by providing value-added services, accuracy, and consistency.

The proposed acquisition includes an 8,000 sq. ft. medical laboratory including covered drive up testing center, with premium testing and laboratory equipment, cash and current assets with a value in excess of $1,750,000.00 USD and a corporate office, both located in the heart of the medical district in Dallas, TX. Under the proposed terms Empower will assume a $1,200,000.00 USD Small Business Administration (SBA) equipment loan, a $150,000.00 SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan and short-term liabilities of up to $250,000.00 at closing.
