Amesite Reports Its NurseMagic App Is Ramping Up Users As Social Media Attention Goes Viral, Company Inks More Health Professional Business Deals

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Many nurses and caregivers are stressed out and overworked, leading to high turnover and big shortages. This is of particular concern in the home healthcare arena, where more than 1 in 4 nurses plan to leave the profession by 2027. The ones who stay need more support, and thousands are finding it with Amesite’s (NASDAQ: AMST) NurseMagic™, a proprietary AI app designed for nurses. The app is capable of quickly creating nursing notes, a requirement for professionals ranging from CNAs and LPNs to APRN-CNPs and NPs and a daily shift task which Amesite says takes up 40% of nurses' time. Caregivers can also use the app to explain medical procedures in easy-to-understand language, create work emails, give guidance on patient and family communication, provide coaching on taking wellness breaks during the day, provide key information about medications and more. Fast Growing Usership And Five-Star Reviews NurseMagic | AI Tools for Nurses leverages Amesite’s cloud infrastructure and expertise in AI integrations and AI-powered features. Amesite entered the market with its Amesite Engage platform and reports that it has accelerated customer acquisition after streamlining its infrastructure to deliver systems at very low incremental cost. Now Amesite reports that it is signing with community colleges across the country that are tapping Amesite to train the workers of tomorrow. The company reports being encouraged by its no-setup-fee model, which was followed by the signing seven new community college deals across the U.S. With that experience, it was only natural that Amesite would pivot into healthcare. After all, there are more than five million nurses and an additional 3.9 million home health workers in the country, and surveys support the strong need for more support among nurses and healthcare professionals. Within eight weeks of its beta stage debut, NurseMagic witnessed triple-digit monthly growth driven in part by its presence on social media. Amesite has engaged with prominent influencers including Paige Slayton, Nurse Cynesse, Nurse Tara and Nurse Hailey. Combined, that gives Amesite access to over three million followers. The engagement with Nurse Hailey alone was responsible for a 27% increase in users. From June to July the app has seen 830% growth in registered users. NurseMagic also recently debuted in the Apple App Store, charting at #33 in the medical category after only four weeks in the store and garnering five-star reviews. The app is now being used by nurses and healthcare professionals in all 50 states and six countries. “The 27% increase in users following the most recent social post demonstrates both the incredible impact of influencers voicing the capabilities of NurseMagic and the power of the app itself,” said Madison Bush, Corporate Operations and Marketing Manager at Amesite. “Charting for the first time after only a few weeks in the App Store is incredibly exciting and validates the utility of NurseMagic as a mobile tool for a wide variety of healthcare professionals.” Amesite says a big driver of user engagement is the accuracy and speed of the app. The company reports that it relies on qualified data sources that have proven to be accurate and reliable. It uses this data to train its more than 20 proprietary AI models to ensure performance – and adds an average of five new features per week. At last check, Amesite indicated it has integrated more than 100 APIs into its company tech stack, including connections to government databases, authentication services, payment gateways and AI-powered tools. The app’s models have also demonstrated 93% accuracy when tested against NCLEX test questions. The NCLEX exam is a standardized exam developed by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) that nursing graduates must pass to obtain their nursing licenses in the United States and Canada. Amesite reports feedback from customers has “been extremely positive.” 15X ROI For Enterprise NurseMagic Customers It’s not just individual nurses that are interested in NurseMagic. A variety of healthcare professionals are using NurseMagic, with Amesite recently announcing the launch of pilot programs in five home health agencies and skilled nursing facilities across the United States. Amesite said that collectively, these companies and their franchisees have over 30,000 employees providing skilled nursing, hospice care and home healthcare. The latter is a large and growing sector in need of support. Home healthcare is valued at $100 billion today and is projected to grow to $176 billion by 2032. It's also an area that is seeing job growth of about 21% per year through 2032, presenting a lucrative opportunity for Amesite. The company estimates that its customers will achieve a whopping 15X ROI with its product, based on the expected increase in efficiency of workers using the app and expected pricing. “We anticipate very significant quarter-to-quarter revenue increases with NurseMagic,” said Amesite founder and CEO Dr. Ann Marie Sastry. “For less than 2% of the cost of wages, our technology can make this entire workforce at least 30% more productive, while simultaneously improving the quality of patient care. Because of the efficiency of our systems, we believe that we can do so at highly attractive margins that enable sustained growth.“ As of May 10, 2024, the company reported it had $3 million of cash in hand and 10 months of burn on hand, even assuming no new revenue, reflecting its liquidity position. The company is bullish on building revenue through its B2B and B2C NurseMagic products, while simultaneously continuing to offer its higher education platform at low incremental cost. The company reported a reduction in SG&A of nearly 50% YOY from FY22 to FY24 and expects to continue finding efficiencies. Nurses are in demand as acute turnover continues to concern the industry, and many of them are in need of some support – and NurseMagic offers that support. It seeks to tap an unmet need and help meet it with an assist from AI. To learn more about the app and Amesite, click here. Featured photo by PeopleImages.com - Yuri A on Shutterstock.

DB Schenker collaborates with Microsoft Cloud Logistics on low carbon intercontinental transportation and sustainable logistics

DB Schenker

DB Schenker is collaborating with Microsoft Cloud Logistics for the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Sustainable Marine Fuel (SMF), highlighting their collective ambition to comprehensively reduce the environmental footprint of their transportation practices. This pivotal effort also includes building best-in-class logistics warehouses and implementing alternative energy trucks. It signifies an important step towards reducing the carbon emissions associated with their logistics operations (Scope 3) compared to transportation associated with conventional fossil-based fuels and thus supports their overarching environmental sustainability goals. Jochen Thewes, CEO of DB Schenker: “Microsoft and DB Schenker, that’s two global leaders united to reduce emissions in transportation and logistics. Our cooperation is expected to demonstrate that significant CO 2 e-savings are feasible already in today’s intercontinental supply chains. The upgrade of the Netherlands warehouse to BREEAM Excellent status and the Illinois, United States SuperHub receiving the LEED Platinum Certification are prime examples of our dedication to paving the way for more sustainable and innovative logistics solutions.” Cliff Henson, CVP of Microsoft Cloud Supply Chain: “Microsoft Cloud Logistics is committed to leading the way in sustainable logistics. Our collaboration with DB Schenker has enabled the development of cutting-edge sustainable warehouses along with innovative fuel strategies across all modes of freight, exemplifying our dedication to setting industry standards in the logistics environmental sustainability arena. These efforts mark a significant step forward in our efforts to reduce our environmental impacts in line with Microsoft’s 2030 sustainability commitments.” Sustainable Aviation and Maritime Fuels will be procured by DB Schenker and allocated to Microsoft Cloud Logistics’ inbound Air and Ocean shipments, and is anticipated to result in a reduction of at least 15.000 t of CO 2 e-emissions per year. In March 2024, DB Schenker also implemented the use of Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO or Renewable Diesel) for all ocean shipments traveling from California to Texas. In addition, DB Schenker has extended its environmental sustainability efforts with Microsoft Cloud to land transport in Europe and North America with HVO100 fueling stations and electric vehicles. Furthermore, advanced logistics warehouses, designed to streamline operations and enhance network efficiency while minimizing environmental impact using renewable energies, are at the heart of DB Schenker and Microsoft Cloud’s collaborative efforts. DB Schenker and Microsoft Cloud Logistics’ facility in Illinois, United States achieved LEED Platinum-certification, which is the highest level of certification granted by the U.S. Green Building Council and demonstrates DB Schenker's leadership in environmental and community stewardship. In addition to the SuperHub in the United States, Microsoft Cloud Logistics’ Netherlands warehouse carries the BREEAM Certificate Level “Excellent,” thus ensuring these warehouses meet high standards of energy efficiency, minimizing environmental impact, and enhancing occupant well-being. About DB Schenker With around 72,700 employees at more than 1,850 locations in over 130 countries, DB Schenker is one of the world’s leading logistics service providers.

Compete In BullRush's Fantasy Trading Games For As Little As $5!

Benzinga

By James Blacker, Benzinga One of the biggest hurdles for aspiring traders to overcome is navigating the steep learning curve of the markets without putting too much of their own capital at risk. Trading can take years of practice to master, and even the most gifted traders can expect to make many mistakes and suffer big losses along the way. Diving headfirst into the market with no safety net is never a good idea, and the fear of losing money is often enough to deter someone from ever learning to trade. But one company has come up with a new way to get into the trading game – a platform where you can develop your skills and build confidence without significant financial risk. BullRush says it is a first-of-its-kind fantasy trading platform that gives traders hands-on experience of the markets in a competitive and social environment. With entry fees starting as low as $5, it is accessible to virtually anyone. Why BullRush Is Different Traders who are just starting out often turn to prop firms, drawn by the promise of trading capital if you can pass their multiple evaluations. However, the cost of prop firm challenges can be very high, and with strict rules and trading parameters, many people who take these tests end up failing anyway. Even if you do manage to get funded, the structure of prop firm trading is largely focused on reaching goals more than trader development. Traditional trading simulators and demo accounts are another option for beginner traders. They can be helpful for practicing in a risk-free environment, but because the stakes are low, they often fail to replicate the emotional aspects of live trading. BullRush, on the other hand, says it offers something unique. By pitting traders against one another in a variety of games and tournaments for real prizes, it combines relatively risk-free trading with a level of excitement and intensity that mirrors real money trading. By competing against each other, traders are motivated to stay on their toes, constantly improving and refining their trading strategies. BullRush is a dynamic platform that brings traders of all levels together not only to compete but also to collaborate. The social aspect adds an element that further sets it apart from run-of-the-mill demo trading platforms and enhances the experience. Through the BullRush Discord, traders can share tips and strategies, learning from how others approach the markets. This community aspect turns a typically solitary activity into a shared one with the goal of creating a more engaging experience. How To Join The BullRush Fantasy Trading Game So how does the BullRush platform function in practice? The process to get started is simple: Sign up: If you are over 18 and live in one of the regions BullRush is authorized to operate in, you can fill in the registration form on its website. From there, you can choose the competitions, tournaments, trivia and challenges (coming soon) you want to join. Register for competitions: BullRush offers more than 10 different types of competitions, some free to enter and others with nominal entry fees as low as $5. These include games focusing on forex, crypto, indices, metals and oils. Competitions vary in length from single-day games to month-long tournaments. You can register for as many as you like. Fantasy trade: Once your competition has begun and the clock starts ticking, you can open the trading platform and start trading in your demo account. Using credits, you will compete against other traders in real-time markets. Track your performance: You can see how you and your fellow traders are stacking up against each other by keeping an eye on the competition leaderboard. Win prizes: If you make it to the top of the leaderboard, you can win cash prizes, as well as XP and other rewards. BullRush is not simply a trading simulator; the company’s aim is to create an exciting, competitive space where like-minded traders can get together and push each other to improve while gaining trading experience in live markets with lower risk. With entry fees starting at just $5, anyone can get involved. Think you’ve got what it takes to take home some prizes? Check out the BullRush fantasy trading platform here!
