• SRAX working to build largest data set in world
• Forbes reports that a company’s most valuable asset may be its data
• Investors have come to favor digital, data-rich, and even merely data-savvy businesses

During a time when a company’s data may be more valuable than the company itself (http://nnw.fm/YpJZN), SRAX (NASDAQ: SRAX) is focused on building the largest and most valuable opted-in data set in the world. The innovative company is gathering increasingly reliable data sets across a wide spectrum of industry verticals.

“CIOs unwittingly may be the caretakers of their company’s most valuable asset: its data,” reported a recent “Forbes” article. “Unfortunately, most CIOs and their CFO counterparts continue to take their cue about valuing their company’s data from antiquated accounting regulations. Instead, they should have a heads-up and proactive awareness of contemporary market forces, the art-of-the-possible with data, and investor exuberance about data-savvy companies.”

The article noted that while accountants tend to be pragmatists, investors are opportunists. “The latter in their never-ending quest for alpha have come to favor digital, data-rich, and even merely data-savvy businesses — not just for their multiples, but for their data itself,” the article noted.

Pointing to Microsoft’s $26 billion acquisition of LinkedIn and Facebook’s almost $22 billion acquisition of WhatsApp, the article stated that “while some experts contend that these stratospheric acquisition price tags were to ‘get their customers,’ customers and their loyalty resulting in future cash flows must be earned and cannot be bought. Nor can customers themselves be considered actual assets since people cannot be owned or controlled. On the other hand, customer data—including their transactions, interactions and profiles—can be owned and controlled . . . . Therefore data itself was the asset central to these corporate acquisitions.”

Investors, in general, favor data-savvy companies, the article concludes, citing a recent Gartner study that found “on average the ratio of market value to tangible asset replacement cost (known as Tobin’s q), even for pre-digital companies, is nearly two times greater for those that demonstrate certain data-savvy behaviors.”

SRAX’s proprietary technology is designed to unlock data for brands in the CPG, investor relations, luxury, and lifestyle verticals. Through its platforms, SRAX is monetizing its data sets and growing multiple recurring revenue streams.

The company’s most recent offering, Sequire, is a premiere investor intelligence and communications management platform that unlocks investor behaviors and trends, including who is buying and selling stock, for issuers of publicly traded companies. Through the platform, companies can track their investors’ behaviors and trends and use those rich audience insights to engage existing investors and attract new investors across marketing channels.

• EV sales rising despite declining economy due in part to policy initiatives, government incentives
• EV share prices making triple-digit percentage gains since Q2 2020
• NETE divesting payments processing business model, entering EV industry through definitive merger agreement with Mullen Technologies
• Merger expected to accelerate process of taking Mullen public in addition to catalyzing manufacturing operations in United States

While sales of internal combustion vehicles continue to trend downward, electric vehicle (“EV”) sales are holding up – particularly in countries like Germany where EVs are heavily subsidized and central to the country’s economic recovery plan (http://ibn.fm/RqaIF). Investors continue diverting capital into the EV industry as a result, pushing EV stock prices to unprecedented levels. Through a bold move aimed at maximizing shareholder value, Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE) announced its plans recently to enter the EV industry through a definitive merger agreement with Mullen Technologies. Pending requisite approvals, the reverse-merger with the Southern California-based EV company will allow the stakeholders of privately-held Mullen to acquire a majority of the new stock and accelerate the process of taking the company public, giving potential investors an opportunity to buy the relatively undervalued shares within the rapidly growing sector.

“We feel, after considering an array of strategic alternatives, that the agreement with Mullen provides our shareholders with the most compelling opportunity,” said Net Element chairman and Chief Executive Officer Oleg Firer (http://ibn.fm/mOdKv). “We conducted an extensive search of companies that have disruptive technologies and believe that Mullen represents the best path forward.”

EV stocks have been on the rise since March – seemingly immunized against any COVID-related fallout by government-backed incentives that are pushing EV use on a global scale, particularly in Europe (http://ibn.fm/IzzCb) and China (http://ibn.fm/TsbTD). Despite their high volatility, EV stock prices saw massive net gains since last spring as Tesla shot up over 500% (http://ibn.fm/FJlCT), newly-public Nikola increased almost 300% (http://ibn.fm/Y1Yk5), NIO rose over 700% (http://ibn.fm/BxW9N), and Workhorse shot up 1000% within a few weeks (http://ibn.fm/BQPU9).

Investor sentiment appears to be fueled by research such as BloombergNEF’s latest report (http://ibn.fm/lVjQM) that paints a picture of an electrified future where EVs make up more than half of global passenger car sales by 2040, fueled in part by policymakers setting lower emission targets, fuel economy regulations, quota systems and urban policies that favor EVs. Besides their expected widespread adoption in the passenger market, EVs are also expected to account for 81% of municipal bus sales, 56% of commercial vehicle sales and 31% of the medium commercial market (http://ibn.fm/lgrnz).

Pending the definitive agreement, fairness valuation, stockholder and board approval, the merger between NETE and Mullen is expected to catalyze the process of taking Mullen public in addition to expanding its manufacturing operations in the United States through a proposed plant in West Plains, Washington. The agreement, once finalized, will give both new investors and existing stakeholders an unprecedented opportunity to invest in an industry that is poised to significantly alter the global transportation landscape while playing a key role in revitalizing the global economy.

Many are counting on researchers and scientists to find treatments that could help manage coronavirus and eventually, a cure for the virus. However, not everyone is fully aware of the ups and downs of scientific discoveries that involve various clinical trials, testing on both animal and human subjects and the failures that come with these speculations.

Take for instance, just over a century ago, Niels Ryberg Finsen began his experimentation with the use of UV light to treat ailments. As there were no subjects who would’ve offered to be his test subjects, Finsen used himself to test his findings.

Finsen had studied medicine at the University of Copenhagen before moving to focus on his research. His illness, the Niemann-Pick disease, prompted his research to discover if both artificial light and sunlight could be used to treat different ailments.

He however picked Lupus Vulgaris, as his study ailment at random. While experimenting on a man who suffered from the disease, he discovered that the artificial light improved the disfiguring lesions on the man’s body. He developed the Finsen Lamp for this treatment procedure.

Other scientists also used light therapy to treat diseases such as varicose veins, TB, circulatory disorders and also degenerative diseases. However, after penicillin became widely available, the use of phototherapy to treat lupus declined.

Discovery of UV Lights

William F. Wells, a sanitary science instructor at the Harvard School of Public Health, hypothesized that a well-ventilated room that contained an ultraviolet lamp could get rid of infectious disease germs that were present in the air. Despite several studies, the hypothesis bore no fruits.

However, it wasn’t until the 1970s, when Richard Riley, who had worked in Wells’ lab published studies that showed how TB droplets in the air could be controlled using UV ventilation.

This prompted many research studies that discovered that UV lights could be used to disinfect drinking water by killing protozoa that was chlorine-resistant as well as in killing germs present on surfaces. From then on, the technology has been repurposed for various industries.

Today, the germicidal benefits of both artificial UV light and sunlight are the focus of attention once more with the spread of the coronavirus.

As a lot about the virus is still unknown, it would be unfair for us to ask scientists to speed up the process for a cure of that which no one knows anything substantial about. Instead, as we await a cure and watch this process play out, you are encouraged to wash your hands, observe social distancing and wear a mask when going outside. Hopefully, biomedical companies like DarioHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: DRIO) will come up with solutions that can bring this pandemic under control.

Sleep apnea is one of the complications that you may experience, and it may bring some difficulties in your sleep. To know that you have this complication, you must spend a night at the health center where its screening can be done. You will be linked with sensors which will be measuring your blood oxygen levels, brain activity, and your eye movement. However, for effective detection of sleep apnea, a group of researchers have developed a wearable that has the capability of tracking your breath. The device uses a combination of electric signals and machine algorithms.

What is sleep apnea?

It is a condition in which your breathing can be disrupted as you sleep either by physical obstruction of the throat by the surrounding muscles or when the neural signals controlling your breath are disturbed. This condition may affect the quality of your life. In some instances, the condition may lead to memory problems, cardiovascular diseases, and other health problems.

For you to monitor this condition effectively at home, some wearables and sensors have been manufactured to measure your breathing patterns. The device measures your breathing using some resistive bands found on the chest and the abdomen, microelectronic systems, film-based sensors, and the wearable piezo-electric bands.

How the device works

The researchers who had previously manufactured a device that measures bioimpedance are also considering exploring if the technique could also be applied to monitor the breathing trends of the people with sleep apnea. Their device known as the Robin can be used to monitor a wearer’s breathing pattern effectively.

The team applied deep learning algorithms to the bioimpedance measurement to detect sleep apnea. The survey was done on 25 individuals who were monitored at a sleep medical center. The device was found to have an accuracy of 75% in detecting sleep apnea. The results from their trials have made them create a new startup to help commercialize the process. This device works by measuring the changes in your body and has been seen to be more reliable.

Some of the alternative devices that can be used to monitor sleep apnea need more additional physiological signals to be monitored as well. It will also require additional technologies for the device to monitor those other physiological activities effectively. The researchers have also added that the sleep apnea detection device can also be used to detect other respiratory diseases whose manifestation is akin to that of sleep apnea. They are conducting more research to identify the specific respiratory conditions where this wearable technology can be useful.

The development of diagnostic technologies, such as wearables to detect sleep apnea, does a very good job of complementing what other companies like Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI) are doing in developing unique treatments for patients.

In the healthcare industry, cyberattacks have become very common. This is mainly due to the increase in the networked medical devices. This is prompting device manufacturers to constantly reduce threats that would affect the devices’ security.

Many medical devices have embedded computer systems that are susceptible to security breaches which can affect how they operate. The rise in cyberattacks led to the FDA issuing a warning in March 2019, concerning 2 security flaws that affected implantable cardioverter defibrillators.

To better understand the risks a compromise in device security may have on an individual, we first look at how the attacks are launched.

When malware is introduced into an equipment or gains unauthorized access to a device’s data or configuration settings as well as the networks to which the said devices are connected, this is considered a cyberattack.

These attacks may result in data collection and transmission, which compromises patient safety, especially when it comes to devices such as insulin pumps and defibrillators, as malicious software could cause malfunctions that may result in patient harm or sometimes, death.

Furthermore, the access of data from networked devices through hacking may also disclose critical information. For example:

• Data from other devices which are connected to the same network which expands the range of patient safety that has been compromised
• Health data of patients, this information can be sold or used to aid in identity theft
• Data of a product’s performance, this data can be sold to competitors or used to compromise a manufacturers’ efficacy and safety claims

Factors that can also pitch in to cybersecurity risks of devices in the medical sector include:

• Lack of authority for health care centers to stop using devices that are no longer supported by the manufacturer
• Using off-the-shelf software
• Advancements in the Internet of Things; this blurs the lines between private and public data, thus making it easier for personal health data to be shared electronically

A survey that was done recently showed that 62% of consumers valued cybersecurity more than the ease of use of a medical device. Device manufacturers should therefore bear the responsibility of ensuring their device security. An effective cybersecurity plan should include both postmarket and premarket phases while also addressing risk management from device conception and use to disposal.

On the other hand, hospitals and other healthcare facilities should constantly evaluate and update their network security software and protect their systems diligently using guidelines that should be issued by the device manufacturing companies.

Experts say sector startups would do well to learn how companies like DarioHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: DRIO) safely offer their smartphone-centered, personalized chronic illness management software-as-a-service (“SaaS”).

As millions of Americans from every corner of the country flood the streets to protest against the over-policing of black and brown communities, the Virginia Senate has approved a bill that would greatly advance that cause. Introduced by Sen. Louise Lucas, Senate Bill 5029 would prohibit police search and seizures based solely on the odor of marijuana. The legislation, which passed with a 21-15 vote, has been lauded by activists who say it is a small step towards ending the aggressive over policing certain communities have had to endure for decades.

“This is a small but important step to decriminalizing black and brown bodies of being targeted by this longtime policing tool, which was really created by politicizing the war on drugs,” says Chelsea Higgs Wise, executive director of Marijuana Justice, a nonprofit that is pushing for the statewide legalization of marijuana. Even after the state decriminalized marijuana back in July, she says, police stops initiated on the smell of marijuana have continued to adversely affect minority groups.

According to 2018 data from the ACLU, black people are more than three times as likely to be arrested for marijuana possession in Virginia compared to white people. “The odor of marijuana is something that our undocumented community is anxious about because it’s life or death and separation from their families,” Higgs Wise says. She adds that although there is still a long way to go before demands for full marijuana legalization are met, right now she wants legislators to focus on ending the enforcement of remaining marijuana-related penalties.

Possession of up to an ounce of marijuana in Virginia will result in a $25 civil penalty. Before the state decriminalized marijuana, possession for having up to half an ounce would have resulted in a $500 criminal fine and 30 days in jail. She says that true reform would require the clearing of records, releasing people jailed for marijuana offenses and eliminating the $25 fine. “ALL of that has to stop to meet the full demand of legalization and fully, truly decriminalizing marijuana and black and brown bodies in the eyes of the police.”

However, not everyone agrees with Higgs Wise. The Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police has stated its opposition to the bill, with Executive Director Dana Schrad saying that “enacting this type of legislation allows and promotes smoking of marijuana while operating a motor vehicle, which is a fundamental disregard for maintaining a safe driving environment for motorists.”

Though the process of rolling back decades of marijuana prohibition is slow, analysts believe that sector players like The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (CSE: WTER) (NASDAQ: WTER) celebrate every success scored in chipping away at the legacy of the war on drugs.

With the coronavirus pandemic still affecting most countries globally, researchers advocate for the use of digital contact tracing as a means to reduce the spread of the virus.

Private Kit: Safe Paths, is an app developed by the MIT Media Lab with Ramesh Raskar, an associate professor at the lead. This app boasts of being able to perform digital contact tracing while protecting the privacy of persons. It has been speculated that the app might be integrated with Waze for COVID-19, an official WHO app that is also new to the market.

Below, we discuss the benefits and disadvantages of contact tracing.

Digital contact tracing is the tracing back of the steps/routes that an infected person (now patient) used by utilizing tracking systems, in a bid to locate every person the individual might have been in contact with in a period of two weeks.

By using this GPS-based location app, any individual who is confirmed as having been infected with the virus with a test done by a healthcare worker then shares their GPS information with the app’s server. This provides a location sequence that shows every location that the person visited in the last 2 weeks, without disclosing the person’s real identity. Other persons who use the application can then cross-check those trails with their own to check whether there was a significant overlap that may have made them susceptible to getting infected. They, however, do not have to share their data.

However, this does not mean that the app is 100% effective, especially if you factor in asymptomatic individuals or those whose symptoms are manageable and do not require hospital care.

To safeguard the privacy of those who use the app, infected persons have the option of blurring or redacting sensitive areas that might give their identity away. For uninfected individuals, their data isn’t uploaded to the server so that at the end of the day, only the user knows whether they may have come into contact with an infected person. The apps’ encryption methods provide both privacy and utility to the user as it’s been constructed in a way that doesn’t allow retracing or reconstruction of the data. That way not even the persons’ who created the application have access to the data that is uploaded by the user.

However, there are disadvantages to this method as well.

For instance, governments that have information on the GPS location paths of the application’s users create a monitoring state in which an individual may be hunted down if they are infected. Additionally, some countries have publicly shared this information, with exact GPS locations of the infected person, which leads to public exposing and shaming of the individual.

In countries like South Korea, groups have been formed on various social media platforms using the contact tracing data. This would lead to ‘investigations’ that would result in shaming or gossiping about an infected person. Sometimes, very private details about a person would get discovered which invaded the subjects’ privacy grossly.

Furthermore, in China, a color code with the colors green, yellow or red, are used to inform a person if they’ve been in proximity with a person who is infected. People who received red codes were shamed and it got to a point where only people with green codes could utilize government amenities or even visit the grocery.

All things considered though, digital tracing is still doing a good job of keeping more infections at bay while protecting the privacy of the patients thus helping flatten the curve. How will companies like Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI) fix the shortcomings of digital contract tracing while enhancing its benefits?

The electric vehicles (“EVs”) market is growing swiftly. For instance, electric vehicle sales in the U.S. in 2017 rose by almost 30%, and this translates into approximately 200,000 units. Given the low gas prices that are a marketing strategy to incentivize consumers to stick with diesel and gas cars, the increase makes it all the more impressive.

Globally, there are lots of initiatives to ban the sale of oil vehicles, with the biggest reason behind this being clearing the skies of smog-filled cities. India, China, Norway, France, Netherlands as well as the UK have expressed their desire to phase out diesel and gas vehicles in the decade to come. In Norway, electric vehicle sales make up 33% of all car sales, showing how effective government incentives can influence attitudes of car buyers.

Countries that announce bans on the selling of oil vehicles are documented by the World Economic Forum. However, to ensure success of electric vehicles, there needs to be an uninterrupted price declines, especially in terms of battery prices and also the development of longer range batteries that’ll enable farther distances to be covered on a single charge.

According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, it is predicted that by the year 2040, most new car sales (54%) will be electric vehicles and an estimated 33% of the worldwide car fleet will be electric as well. Reduced prices for batteries is forecasted to bring about price-competitive electric cars to almost all if not all big light-duty car segments before the year 2030.

However, there’s a lot more to electric vehicles. Electric vehicles are electricity-powered, which is an energy source derived from the combustion of natural gas and coal, in most parts around the world. This is great news for companies like Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR).

Additionally, given that electric vehicles require a night to fully recharge, this drives up a residence’s power consumption by about 50%. Forbes cites the addition of an electric vehicle to the grid as similar to adding three homes.

Despite the measures being taken to meet the increase in power required when more electric vehicles are being used, it is impossible to deny that for every 10 times that an electric vehicle recharges, 6.5 of those instances it will be banking on natural gas and coal.

In the U.S., electrification will result in increased demand for electricity. So, it is vital that as we pursue alternative sources of energy, we should also keep in mind that once the nuclear and coal plants are exhausted, there’s no going back.

Present-day models also predict that the global demand for electricity will grow by between 1 and 3% every year. So all in all, electricity consumption will grow with or without electric vehicles.

The first delivery was done on March 22 and comprised of 97 shields. The group has the capacity of producing from 600 to 1100 shields in one day. Additionally, the organization also has maker’s and engineers who are focused on putting their varying facilities and skills to use. Here are key lessons that can be picked from their initiative.

Getting Input from Nurses and Doctors

The group became majorly known because of getting input from nurses and doctors. Since the group has not yet been certified or approved by the FDA, they are the last options for various health care workers. The PPE has, however, been well researched to ensure it is comfortable for the doctors to wear them all day long. Besides, the PPE is free from fog to help it in the wrapping of the face.

Coming up with Ideal Designs

The website of the group offers healthcare workers a form to ask for the delivery of PPE. Additionally, the group is widely known for the manufacture of face masks. Most people are selecting face masks rather than buying the ones printed by 3-D. You will realize there is a lot of hype surrounding the printed 3D facemasks. However, these 3D masks are not the most ideal for use.

Filling Present Gaps

Furthermore, the group is currently discussing the best PPE design. In case the traditional manufacturers consider supplying a lot of PPE in the market, their unique designs will resolve the situation around competition. There is the performance of great due diligence by the engineers, manufacturers and professors to ensure what is made is safe. Logistics is the main problem in the case of meeting the main challenges resulting from a shortage of medical equipment.

New York City has been the worst hit in terms of PPE shortages during this pandemic, and creative means need to be found to fill the existing gap. You may throw engineers in a given room and request them to make a given design, but the main challenge is if the hospitals and doctors will accept the products made or not. The NYC coalition offers valuable lessons on how different stakeholders can work together to create products that address pressing needs. Such creativity generally attracts the applause of biomed companies like DarioHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: DRIO) who are in the business of developing solutions to some of society’s healthcare challenges.

• SRAX’s Sequire platform connects public companies with investors using big data analytics
• Sequire’s user base has grown to 91 public companies, one million active investors and traders
• Sequire sales exceeded $2.5 million in Q2 2020, $4 million expected for Q3 2020
• SRAX entered into $13 million definitive securities purchase agreement to fund Sequire’s rapid expansion

It’s no longer a trade secret: Big data analytics are critical for success across almost every industry and particularly important for consumer-focused businesses looking to dial in their marketing efforts. The investment industry is no exception, and Sequire, a data analytics platform powered by SRAX (NASDAQ: SRAX), gives public companies an edge by providing the tools needed to monitor the activities of both retail and institutional investors while providing the critical data needed to successfully activate media campaigns, engaging current shareholders and attracting new investment.

Since its 2019 inception, SRAX has grown rapidly, recently passing a significant milestone where its user base exceeded over 1 million active investors and traders across 91 public companies – more than double the 500,000 users boasted by the platform in July (http://nnw.fm/JRZtk). More users translates into better data: As the user base grows, the data provided to and processed by the platform translates into higher-quality intelligence that users can unlock via the platform’s tools and features.

“We are creating a community of public company executives that are taking back their data. For too long these leaders have relied on subpar data to make important capital market decisions,” said SRAX founder and CEO Christopher Miglino (http://nnw.fm/NEKOD). “Our clients have seen notable results from Sequire and our marketing services, and the more companies that join in our mission, the better the platform gets at identifying and securing investors. The retail investor is becoming a bigger part of the cap table and we have mastered the connection between trading platforms such as Robinhood and the public issuer, just as these platforms attempt to become less transparent.”

Along with its rapid user adoption, Sequire has seen massive success so far in 2020 with revenue growth of 29% YoY for Q2 2020, fueling the company’s decision to enter into a definitive securities purchase agreement for the purchase and sale of $13 million senior secured convertible debentures intended to fund Sequire’s rapid expansion (http://nnw.fm/9fMKq).

“We announced a capital raise of $13 million, which we will use in part to fund the rapid expansion of Sequire,” noted Miglino in recent statements. “Our clients have seen notable results from the platform and its related services. We’ve also seen a significant increase in the number of clients on the platform with Q2 sales hitting over $2.5 million and an additional $3 million in the pipeline, with a very high probability of closing in Q3.”

Along with Sequire, SRAX delivers a suite of specialized tools for other industries, delivering a digital competitive advantage for brands in the CPG, luxury goods and lifestyle verticals. As the business landscape becomes increasingly more competitive, SRAX gives businesses a much-needed advantage by providing data analytics solutions that reveal core consumers and their characteristics across various marketing channels.

The arrival of COVID-19 caught everyone unaware, especially in the healthcare sector and it led to a shortage of respirators, face masks, and ventilators. The sudden lack of this equipment has made automobile manufacture to venture into the production of these special medical PPE and equipment.

Ford’s efforts in manufacturing ventilators

Since automobiles’ sales have been affected by the pandemic, the vehicle manufacturing industries such as Ford are venturing into the production of respirators and ventilators. Though they are not experts in this field, they have decided to partner with the experts to produce the required ventilators, respirators, and face masks. For a standard ventilator to be manufactured, it requires 27 hours to come up with one ventilator.

However, Ford has made it clear that it will take them half of that time to make a quality ventilator. Ford has decided to partner with GE Healthcare to produce 1500 ventilators monthly, starting at the end of April. The partnership is to produce more than 12,000 ventilators at the end of May. Besides, Ford aims to make more than 50,000 ventilators after 100 days, which was deemed effective starting mid of April.

After gaining approval from the FDA, their simplified design will function on pneumatic pressure basis and will not require electricity in its operations. The labor will be achieved from qualified volunteers, according to Ford’s CEO. Additionally, in partnership with 3M, the Ford engineers also made some streamlined powered air-purifying respirators (“PAPR”), which will protect the doctors, nurses, and other front workers.

The new look of the PAPRS

Ford’s new respirator is fascinating as it has a spacesuit-like helmet that is being operated by a battery. The respirator also contains a blower fan whose function is to draw air via a protective filter to the helmet. The respirator is very useful for people who work in contaminated places such as in the healthcare sector, paint shops, and firefighters.

For Ford to produce enough respirators to bridge the shortage, they will have to use some of the automobile parts that will not be required to manufacture vehicles. Some of these parts include the lithium-ion batteries, seat cooling fans from their F-150 pickup trucks, and their painting bay’s respirator hood fabrics.

Additionally, the car manufacturing industry will also factor in 3D printing to produce transparent, disposable air respirators, face shields and masks for public use. The company will have the capability of producing 100,000 face shields every week after gaining approval from the FDA.

Ventilators by General Motors

The company has also partnered with Ventec to manufacture more than 200,000 ventilators within one month. Their ventilators will feature hospital-grade suction, oxygen, a touch button cough assist, and a portable unit. The ventilator will be so much sophisticated as it will be helping the patient to breathe. Besides, they will also produce some surgical masks, which are also essential in fighting the pandemic.

Experts say that the response made by carmakers to help out in this pandemic is commendable and will complement the solutions offered by entities like Genprex Inc. (NASDAQ: GNPX).

Electric vehicles are poised to take over internal combustion-engine vehicles over the next decade in a bid to cut our reliance on carbon-based energy and reduce our impact on the planet. However, one thing that stands against widespread EV adoption, at least in Europe, is inadequate charging infrastructure. Aside from Tesla, most of the electric vehicles sold across Europe have to rely on an inadequate system of different and often broken down charging facilities.

While Tesla has its own network of charging stations and a streamlined charging experience, most of the other automakers that produce EVs don’t. “There’s a variety of charging providers and they need to talk to each other and make sharing agreements, and there needs to be some kind of alarm system to point out chargers that aren’t working,” says Professor Stefan Bratzel, director of the Center of Automotive Management (“CAM”) in Germany.

“There’s also a problem with the transparency of prices to avoid unfair charging and this will have to be improved in Germany and other European countries. I think this is the most important challenge for electric car uptake and as sales accelerate, the more this problem will surface. There could be backlash for e-mobility if this isn’t tackled in the right way. I would assume it will take two or three years before this problem is solved 100%.” he says.

According to British motoring rescue organization the AA, the UK government has tried to persuade operators to rationalize their systems. “We need interoperability and simple, contactless charging to make life easier for EV drivers. Early adopters weren’t too concerned with different charging mechanisms but that is changing as EVs become more mainstream,” says AA president Edmund King. He adds that the British government has signaled it expects charging firms to offer a “roaming solution” across the network that would allow EV drivers to use various charger networks with a single payment method instead of having to use multiple cars and smartphone apps.

According to David Bailey, Professor of Business Economics at Birmingham Business School and an electric car owner, “The British government is supposed to insist on interoperability, but I’m not sure when that will happen. There are about 8 to 10 different networks in Britain and I have a phone full of apps and a wallet full of cards. For new electric car drivers, this is quite a steep learning curve.”

It would be interesting to hear how entities like Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE) can help, at least in terms of a single payment platform for charging facilities.

DeepGreen Metals, a start-up from Canada intent on extracting battery metals such as manganese, cobalt, copper and nickel from the bottom of the sea, has partnered up with various universities as well as scientific research institutions on its deep-sea exploration program. This will help the company characterize the possible effects of mining polymetallic ore from the Pacific Ocean’s Clarion-Clipperton Zone (“CCZ”)

Earlier in April this year, the company added to its area of exploration on the ocean floor as it obtained Tonga Offshore Mining Ltd, which gave the firm exploration rights to a 3^rd area in the CCZ that makes up about 74,713km² of the seabed. This new area is presumed to hold about 756 million wet tons of manganese (polymetallic) nodules.

The research project will include more than 100 researchers whose primary interest will be to scope out the entire area by use of sail drones, nets, ROVs and other state of the art moorings and sensors.

DeepGreen also announced that specialists from the Natural History Museum (London), University of Leeds, U.K. National Oceanography Centre, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, University of Gothenburg, Florida State University, Heriot-Watt University-the Lyell Centre, Texas A&M and also the University of Hawaii will take part in the project while preserving and upholding their academic sovereignty.

To further advance a co-operative program that will address the impact and concerns that polymetallic mining in the CCZ may likely have on the environment, the company invested a little over $60 million.

Part of DeepGreen’s social and environmental impact assessment will also include the numerous studies of bathymetry, benthic and pelagic biology as well as the ecosystem function of the Clarion-Clipperton Zone for the planned polymetallic mining project.

The data gathered will be used to make well-informed decisions for how to begin the extraction process for the resources. DeepGreen states that this mineral-rich are has the potential to supply billions of tons of essential battery metals which are needed for the transition to clean energy globally.

Additionally, the involvement of various independent scientific institutions in the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment of DeepGreen places emphasis on the company’s dedication to transparency throughout the exploration period of an industry.

A prime concern that researchers and scientists will look into is the effect sediment plumes will have on deep-sea flora and fauna in the water column, at different temporal and spatial scales.

The information gathered from the exploration phase will enable further development of engineering technologies that will be used in the polymetallic mines so as to ensure that that the ocean is affected in the smallest possible way during the extraction process.

Pulling off such a collaboration is no mean task, and other mineral sector players like Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) will certainly applaud the effort that went into getting the partnership on its feet.

A neural implant or brain implants are technological devices that are connected to a person’s brain. They are placed on an individual’s brain or connected to the brain’s cortex. This device then interacts with the brain’s neurons. They can be inserted through an injection or surgery. Neurons are cells responsible for relaying information in a person’s body using electrical signals.

Neural implants have many uses. These include treatment of various diseases, rehabilitation of the body after injuries, enhanced memory as well as aiding communication with prosthetic limbs, among many other uses.

The devices make it possible to record neural activity, which allows researchers to note the patterns that fit neural circuits use to liaise. Brain implants also transmit electricity pulses to neurons which overrides instinctual firing patterns. This forces the neurons to communicate differently.

The most established and recognized clinical use of neural implants is in Deep Brain Stimulation treatment (“DBS”). This therapy involves electrodes that have been surgically put inside an individual’s brain where they stimulate particular structures electrically. This is done in an effort to decrease symptoms of some brain-based illnesses.

DBS was first approved in 1997 by the FDA for essential tremors. Today, it has been approved by other various global regulators for many disorders and diseases such as dystonia, Parkinson’s disease, tinnitus, obsessive compulsive disorder, epilepsy and neuropathic pain. Additionally, there is some research being conducted to see if it can be used as a treatment for psychiatric disorders such as depression as well as the Tourette syndrome.

Globally, about 150,000 people are said to have gotten a DBS implant.

Furthermore, researchers are trying to find a way to manipulate the vagus nerve by use of brain implants. The vagus nerve connects some of the important organs in the body to the brain stem. Researchers are looking into this to find a link in order to treat stroke, heart failure, rheumatoid arthritis, epilepsy, Crohn’s disease, type 2 diabetes, depression, obesity, migraines among many other ailments.

In addition to this, brain implants help in epidural stimulation, which is essentially, the stimulating of the spinal cord. This treatment has allowed some individuals whose lower bodies are paralyzed to stand, move and sometimes, walk for short distances for the first time since they experienced spinal cord trauma.

These neuromodulation devices have also enabled amputees to control robotic legs, arms and hands through ‘mind-controlled’ prostheses (using their thoughts). This is done using a brain implant in the limb above the amputation or in the brain. Some of the robotic limbs issue sensory feedback by stimulating the nerves that are located just above the amputation, thus providing the user a feel of what (s)he is touching.

Researchers have also managed to improve individual’s memory capability for certain tasks through the stimulation of their brain structures in specific ways.  For instance, quadriplegic individuals who have brain implants have been successfully able to operate computers and type sentences by using their thoughts. There’s also an algorithm that perceives an individual’s mood based on their brain activity alone.

We are entering an exciting world in which it is possible to combine the individualized treatments availed by firms like Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI) with neural implants.

• Trxade Group Inc. is a supplies and services innovator for the pharmaceutical industry, working to keep small retailers competitive with large chains and costs accessible for end-use patients
• Trxade Group has seen its brand grow significantly during the past year, adding a 244 percent year-over-year increase to its quarterly revenues during the spring
• The company will further draw attention to its profile by joining other brand presentations at the LD 500 Virtual Investor Conference scheduled to begin Sept. 1 and run through the week
• The LD 500 conference is designed to provide an online-accessible meeting of small cap companies and potential investors even during the ongoing global pandemic, and it is open to everyone

Trxade Group (NASDAQ: MEDS) will introduce a raft of potential new investors to the accomplishments of its growing brand in the medical technology space when CEO Suren Ajjarapu makes a 20-minute presentation on the company as part of the upcoming LD 500 Virtual Investor Conference.

Ajjarapu will also interact more directly with sanctioned LD 500 patrons who are curated through the event’s network, holding one-on-one interviews with potential investors during the hours surrounding his 1:40 p.m. EST presentation on Wednesday, Sept. 2 (http://nnw.fm/MkxRV).

The LD 500 conference is designed to attract hundreds of leading names in the microcap markets space as well as potential sources of capital for the companies. The convention and conference industry has been battered by the distancing demands of the novel coronavirus pandemic but LD 500 organizers have adapted with their most ambitious gathering to date — up to 500 companies and tens of thousands of participants registered for the four-day virtual investor summit that begins Sept. 1, with pre-event activities slated this coming Monday, Aug. 31 (http://nnw.fm/7n5cb).

Trxade Group has been building its B2B platform into a B2C-friendly portfolio that helps independent local pharmacies compete with large-scale retail chains through drug pricing transparency and network strength, also helping health patients to gain telemedicine access to physicians’ clinics without leaving home, and to have prescriptions ordered online and delivered to the home (http://nnw.fm/OW3fh).

Trxade Group’s platform also provides assistance with buying personal protective equipment (“PPE”) for businesses challenged by the ongoing global pandemic and the wellness needs of employees carrying out company assignments.

“This platform resolves a fundamental trust problem impacting employer’s safety and security policies, allowing companies to more effectively combat COVID-19 concerns in the workplace,” Bonum Health President Ashton Maaraba stated. Bonum Health is a subsidiary of Trxade Group.

Trxade’s flagship operation has achieved more than 50 percent penetration of its intended market, the 22,000 independent pharmacies across the United States that serve their communities with features not too far removed from the corner drugstore days of the past century.

“We believe this radical price transparency, economy of scale and competition amongst suppliers leads (to) up to 10% reduction in pharmacies’ total annual drug purchase costs, with a drug-level savings of up to 90% on certain pharmaceutical products,” Ajjarapu said in a recent earnings conference call (http://nnw.fm/nlurh).

Trxade Group reported those Q2 financial results in July, noting the company’s revenues had grown by 244 percent year-over-year for the quarter, and by 199 percent sequentially from the first quarter of the year.
