Connecticut chooses BioTrack as the state's cannabis seed-to-sale tracking software

Forian

Forian Inc. (NASDAQ: FORA), a provider of technology, analytics and data science driven solutions for the healthcare and cannabis industries, announced that Connecticut has chosen BioTrack as the track and trace system for the state’s Department of Consumer Protection Drug Control Division. The state plans to use the BioTrack inventory tracking system to monitor the movement of cannabis products in the state’s medical and adult-use cannabis markets, while providing a real-time inventory of cannabis products available in the state and preventing unlawful diversion of products. The BioTrack software, commonly referred to as seed-to-sale tracking, will track cannabis from when it is first planted as a seed to the point of sale to the consumer. All licensed medical marijuana and adult-use cannabis establishments will be required to participate in the tracking system and log the movement of cannabis as it is grown, manufactured into other products, packaged, tested, and sold to qualifying patients or consumers. BioTrack’s state traceability system will also help recall cannabis plants and products deemed as unsafe/adulterated, and prevent adulterated and regulated materials from reaching the black market. “Connecticut has shown their desire to be at the forefront of cannabis by looking for best-in-class software solutions. We are very excited to work with the state to develop new technologies to support their cannabis-related initiatives,” said Moe Afaneh, VP of BioTrack. BioTrack’s point-of-sale software is used by customers in 38 states and 10 countries, while 10 state governments, including Connecticut, currently use BioTrack's patient portal and traceability system.

Healthcare Industry’s First Carbon Tech Platform Launched by Zasti

Zasti

Zasti, an advanced analytics enterprise that offers carbon tech solutions and strong environmental, social, and governance (ESG) values to the United States healthcare marketplace, announced it is collaborating with Change Healthcare (NASDAQ: CHNG), a health care technology leader. The two companies are aiming to build efficiencies and reduce carbon emissions generated by the healthcare industry. Combining billions of data points from Change Healthcare with Zasti’s AI technology allows users to Assess, Target, Optimize, and Monitor ( ATOM TM ) carbon emissions. “Working with Change Healthcare to deploy ATOM throughout the healthcare industry will allow organizations to be more efficient as decarbonization strategies are considered and implemented” explained Krish R. Krishnan, Zasti’s CEO. “The healthcare industry is responsible for a tenth of all greenhouse gas emissions, making it a focal point for stakeholder scrutiny”. Zasti’s ATOM provides precise measurement of direct and indirect carbon emissions via a proprietary healthcare carbon database. With this data, carbon emission hotspots are identified using pre-designed algorithms providing uses with an AI-driven decarbonization strategy. “The power of our collaboration is combining real-world data that is already processed by Change Healthcare with Zasti’s ATOM platform,” said Tim Suther, senior vice president and general manager of Data Solutions at Change Healthcare. “A provider’s carbon baseline can be quickly established with visibility into how individual procedures and activities contribute to carbon emissions. The ATOM platform then provides benchmarks and actionable insights to reduce those emissions. Real-time data-driven actions can then facilitate carbon emission reductions.” Zasti’s ATOM AI technology offers solutions that achieve continuous optimization and offsetting of carbon emissions. It also tracks the real-time progress of emission reductions through a user-friendly dashboard that integrates with accounting, sustainability, and disclosure details. Dr. David Chang, leading cataract surgeon at the Peninsula Eye Surgery Center in Northern California shared his perspective by stating, “The carbon footprint of the healthcare sector in general, and the operating room in particular, is surprisingly large. We have an important opportunity to make an impact by being more green and by reducing needless OR waste.” “Like all industries today, healthcare too must accelerate the decarbonization process. No industry, especially healthcare, is immune from the responsibility to strive for achieving net-zero emissions. Nor can an industry dodge the looming regulations imposing a plan and the actions moving toward net-zero emissions”, Krishnan, also a Delegate to COP26, stated. “Our collaboration with Change Healthcare is a major step in revolutionizing the healthcare industry by making it sustainable.” About Zasti The Zasti proprietary carbon emission metrics database and AI platform offer a granular, accurate baselining of emission and configurable ESG (Environmental, Social, & Governance) compliance reports. The Zasti AI analytics suite provides management teams with fact-based, real-time, actionable insights that deliver meaningful progress toward meeting decarbonization goals.

Powering Through a Sore Throat: Understanding the Symptoms and Seeking Relief

YourUpdateTV

From a first date to a big audition, to an important presentation, having a sore throat can easily put a damper on important moments and your everyday life. Recently, Family Medicine Physician, Dr. Jennifer Caudle, teamed with Mucinex and YourUpdateTV on a satellite media tour to discuss how to relieve sore throat symptoms. With another cold and flu season upon us, we know the impact of symptoms like cough, body aches, fever and more can really impede on our everyday lives. Recent findings show that sore throat pain is one of the top three most debilitating symptoms alongside fever and migraine. To better understand the impact sore throat pain has on people’s lives, Mucinex surveyed 2,005 U.S. adults in partnership with One Poll* about their experiences coping with it. Despite this, 55% of people are most likely to “power through” a sore throat—meaning they would continue working, going to school, running errands, completing housework, etc. while dealing with difficult sore throat pain. While cold and flu season can be so unpredictable each year, there are many over-the-counter medications that can be of help in relieving those unpleasant symptoms. For instance, Mucinex recently introduced Mucinex InstaSoothe, a new product line of lozenges and sprays designed to numb, soothe and relieve that sore throat pain. The lozenges contain ingredients like Hexylresorcinol (also known as Hex), a local anesthetic for topical use on the mucous membranes, which helps to deliver that ‘numbing’ effect to throat and mouth, providing that much needed relief. The holiday season adds more to-dos and pressure, causing us to set high expectations and race to accomplish tasks. According to Dr. Caudle, if your energy is low, simply rest and take the time you need to focus on important tasks. Keep those vitamins handy and be sure to fuel your body with the right nutrients to help maintain a healthy immune system. Finally, for those of you back at work or school, be sure to bundle up in the colder weather, wear a mask, wash your hands and remember to continue social distancing. People must use over-the-counter products as directed. If your symptoms persist, you should contact your healthcare professional and get checked out if deemed necessary. For more information on how to power through this cold and & flu season, visit Mucinex.com. About Dr. Jennifer Caudle: Dr. Jen Caudle is a board-certified family medicine physician and associate professor in the department of Family Medicine at Rowan University-School of Osteopathic Medicine. She appears regularly as an on-air health expert for local and national news outlets, including ‘The TODAY Show’, CNN, FOX News, PBS, Fox 29 Philadelphia News, and many others. Dr. Jen’s health articles have been published in The Daily Beast, CNN.com, and ABCNews.com, among others. Dr. Jen graduated with honors from Princeton University and earned her medical degree from UMDNJ – School of Osteopathic Medicine. About the Survey*: This random double-opt-in survey of 2,005 Americans was commissioned by Mucinex between August 26 and August 30, 2021. It was conducted by market research company OnePoll, whose team members are members of the Market Research Society and have corporate membership to the American Association for Public Opinion Research ( AAPOR ) and the European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research ( ESOMAR ).

Microban® International Announces a New Range of Antiviral Technologies

Microban International

Microban International, the global leader in antimicrobial solutions, odour control and residual sanitisation/disinfection solutions, is pleased to announce a new range of antiviral technologies that are proven to reduce viral loading on products and surfaces. Microban has long been a trusted partner in a wide range of sectors – from consumer and healthcare to industrial and construction – and this announcement adds to the versatility of the company’s technology portfolio. Microban ® technology can be incorporated into various materials during manufacturing, becoming part of the product’s structure to provide inherent and enduring protection from microbes. Recent data demonstrates that new antiviral technologies from Microban conform to both ISO 18184 – which assesses the antiviral performance of treated textile products, such as woven and knitted fabrics, fibres, yarns, and braids – and ISO 21702, which measures activity in treated plastics and other non-porous surfaces. Thorough testing was performed to evaluate the efficacy of each product type against many viruses, including bacteriophage Phi6, an important surrogate virus for SARS-CoV-2. The results showed that articles treated with these technologies can now benefit from reduced viral loading* by up to 99 %. Antiviral technologies from Microban inhibit the viruses’ ability to remain viable on surfaces. The modes of action vary, disrupting the structure of either the outer protein coat – to prevent viruses from recognising or binding to host cells – or nucleic acid payload, to prevent viral replication. This gives manufacturers a valuable product feature and provides consumers with added peace of mind. Michael Ruby, President of Microban International, explained: “We are excited with the latest results confirming the antiviral activity of our new technologies. Assessing antiviral efficacy in treated products to a standard that meets the complex regulatory landscape is an arduous process, but we have been confident throughout that our innovative solutions conformed to the rigorous ISO standards. Our world-class research team and global in-house regulatory department worked diligently to ensure that the technology is recognised as effective and compliant across various markets, to support partners with their claims and give customers even greater confidence in products protected with Microban antiviral technology.” Following the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a monumental upsurge in demand for antiviral technology in products and it is readily acknowledged that Microban was not the first in the industry to make antiviral claims. Instead, the company invested a considerable amount of time and resources to ensure that its antiviral technologies were not only scientifically proven to be effective in reducing viral loading on surfaces and products, but that they could also be used in a regulatory compliant manner by brands and manufacturers across a variety of territories and product types. Microban is committed to being a reliable and trusted industry leader, and its unrivalled regulatory expertise can help to ensure that partners are aware of the implications that antiviral claims can have on their product types in the countries where they are being sold. For more information on Microban’s new range of antiviral technologies and registration requirements in your territory, visit www.microban.com/antiviral/technologies or contact your Microban representative. *Antiviral efficacy may vary depending on substrate type, application dosage of the treatment, impurities, and application procedure. Only Microban antiviral technologies that are registered with US EPA and are EU BPR compliant are being offered for sale. In the US, antiviral technologies may only be incorporated into products that are or will be registered with the US EPA. Contact your Microban representative for further information. About Microban International: Part of Barr Brands International (BBI), Microban International is home to the most trusted and well-known global brands in the antimicrobial, odour control, and sanitisation / disinfection markets – Microban ® and Ultra-Fresh ®.

Improving the Lives of Caregivers

YourUpdateTV

There will be more people over 65 than under 18 by 2030 -- the boomer generation is living longer and wants to age at home. The result is more than 53 million family caregivers in the U.S., caring for more than 80 million people, and spending more than $187 billion on home health care. Recently, Bianca Padilla, CEO and Co-Founder of Carewell, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the importance of supporting caregivers around the country. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/Z8i-N0yyx30 One-fifth of Americans will act as informal caregivers at some point in their lives, but there is little in the way of vetted products, product knowledge, guidance, and service to help those in the position of caring for a loved one. The biggest trend in caregiving over the past few years is aging at home. 90% of Americans want to stay in their homes for the rest of their lives. They don’t want change, and it’s up to the younger generations to help them do this safely and comfortably. 84% of caregivers report needing more information, so providing access to educational resources is vital for this audience, especially as conditions change - and usually worsen - over time. Carewell is redefining home healthcare by helping caregivers manage their loved one’s conditions, as well as their own lives. Carewell strives to make this population feel seen and understood by providing the products, service, and community support they need along with a level of customer service and convenience rarely found in healthcare. Carewell offers support to family caregivers with a library of information and caregiving guides to remove guesswork.
