Online Summit Aimed at Harnessing Brain Research and Technologies Recognizes Arizona Wearable Tech Startup

PHOENIX (PRWEB) December 08, 2017

The TouchPoint Solution was named SharpBrains.com Brainnovations Pitch Contest winner for the Top Innovation to Boost Workplace Productivity and Resilience at the 2017 International Virtual Summit held on December 6. Scientists and entrepreneurs worldwide participated in the online summit aimed at combining neurological research and emerging technologies to help people thrive and live their best lives.

“Winning is such an honor because it solidifies our game-changing BLAST (bilateral alternating stimulation) technology as a top neuroscience based solution to lower stress and improve the human condition,” said Dr. Amy Serin.

Dr. Serin is a neuropsychologist and inventor of TouchPoints, the company’s wearable devices that lessen anxiety and are said to improve productivity and sleep due to a calming effect that can lower stress by 71 percent in as few as 30 seconds.

The TouchPoint Solution had 10 minutes to pitch their company’s products and mission, which were judged for novelty, scalability, research and intellectual property, impact and financial sustainability. Dr. Serin’s pitch won in the category of workplace productivity and resilience. The judges Included Charlie Hartwell, the operating partner at Bridge Builders Collaborative and Associate Vice President Health & Productivity at Nationwide Insurance Kathleen Herath.

“Although TouchPoints can be used to improve general stress, well-being and sleep, there is an enormous need to address workplace productivity because employee stress and lack of sleep cause performance problems and missed work, said Dr. Serin. “We see a huge opportunity for corporations to include TouchPoints in their wellness programs as a device that actually lowers the stress response instead of simply tracking data. We think if companies are going to spend money on wearables, they should demand more from them.”

The TouchPoint Solution will receive formal recognition, ten hours of consulting time from judges and SharpBrains staff, complimentary access to SharpBrains market report on pervasive neurotechnology, a profile in SharpBrains’ website and e-newsletter, and support in outreach to media, partners, clients and investors.

About TouchPoint Solution

Neuropsychologist Amy Serin, Ph.D., and child advocate Vicki Mayo founded The Touchpoint Solution in late 2015 with the mission of bringing relief to the millions of people who suffer from stress and anxiety. Over the last decade, Dr. Serin’s work in therapy and neuroscience led to the discovery that a component of successful PTSD treatment could be used as a stand-alone product for a range of individuals whose stress and intensities hamper performance, relaxation, sleep, and their ability to cope with sensory stimuli. Dr. Serin recognized that this method was too powerful to be confined to doctors' offices and partnered with long-time friend and entrepreneur Vicki Mayo to bring TouchPoints™ to the world.

99 Crypto, a fresh, but growing name in the world of cryptocurrency, blockchain, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, has released its newest list of top cryptocurrencies; shockingly it does not include Bitcoin, Ethereum, IOTA, or Ripple.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) December 09, 2017

99 Crypto has reported on the industry as the cryptocurrency markets have been growing at an unprecedented pace in the past months. Last month alone, Bitcoin saw an increase in value of about 50%. In December, growth has far exceeded even that, now totaling as much as 162.55% since the beginning of November. Despite these leaps and bounds, the online crypto news and blockchain journal – 99 Crypto – has put out its list of their top cryptocurrencies, and it does not include the likes of Bitcoin.

99 Crypto has reported on everything from the History of the Mt. Gox hack to various traditional institutions getting involved with blockchain around the world. All the while, they have also been focused on helping to shed light on new or alternative tokens or coins, also known as Altcoin. Their list of the Best Cryptocurrencies excludes many of the ‘name brand’ cryptos because they, like many others, are concerned that some cryptocurrencies might be over-inflated.

Highlighted on this list, Mysterium seeks to create VPN connections to disguise users’ IP addresses by accessing Ethereum’s network of connected devices.

“There’s no shortage of cryptocurrency news in this emerging segment,” says a representative from 99 Crypto. “We see things like Mysterium as a sound use for blockchain technology to solve a real-world, scalable problem.”

The site’s top cryptocurrency list includes coins focused on everything from financial transactions to legal contracting to secure creative content distribution. Learn more at https://www.99crypto.com/top-cryptocurrencies/

Over the past month, TradeSocio has made the rounds at Hong Kong, Cyprus, London, Moscow and Shanghai.

(PRWEB) December 09, 2017

One of the industry’s leading fintech brands, TradeSocio is busy with its world tour of three continents and counting, where its international team is enjoying the opportunity to connect with investors, money managers and brokers about its leading Alpha Suite platform.

The company has become a household name in investment circles for its powerful Alpha Suite platform, which provides a new way for investors, money managers, brokers and business introducers to simplify the investment process. This is done through an automated, easy-to-use platform that fast tracks the investment process.

Alpha Suite makes investing in the financial markets more streamlined than ever before. It is also helping brokers develop more competitive options for onboarding clients and increasing sales. It’s the kind of win-win environment that is only possible with the latest advances in fintech.

What to expect from TradeSocio’s Alpha Suite

Alpha Brokers: Brokerage companies can finally offer something beyond FX and CFDs instruments for self-trading. With the Alpha Suite software, they can offer their clients a world of investing possibilities.

Alpha Funds: Fund managers can launch their own investment fund and market directly to Alpha Suite platform users.

Alpha Business Introducer: Fund raisers, white labels, marketers, and salespeople can build their own referral network and business using Alpha Business Introducer.

Alpha Investor: Investors can access funds with cutting edge fintech through any participant broker account with TradeSocio.

Over the past month, TradeSocio has made the rounds at Finovate Asia in Hong Kong, Fintech in Nicosia, the Finance Magnates Summit in London, The Financial Expo in Moscow and The Money Fair Expo in Shanghai.

Tradesocio’s CTO Wael Salem commented on the experience: “It’s been an incredible month for Tradesocio and we are really seeing all our hard work paying off. Brokers in particular have been interested to see how Alpha Suite can increase their acquisitions and boost their retention.”

The feedback from investors, money managers and brokers has been overwhelmingly positive. Numerous leading brokers have already signed up for the service, which means Alpha Suite will be hitting headlines throughout Europe and Asia in the near future. The platform will also help create a bustling community of white labels and introducing brokers that can build their own business around referring clients to Alpha Suite-enabled brokers.

“Offering a second platform and a revenue model for investors is a key stepping stone for brokerage houses to adapt to upcoming challenges within the industry. Alpha suite provides the platform to brokers to offer investment & capital management solutions to investors,” he added.

About Alpha Funds

One of the talking points of the expo season was Tradesocio’s Alpha Funds, which enables fund managers to access new clients within the Alpha community. Alpha Funds has been a hit with fund managers due to its high functionality and features which allow them to:

• Charge Performance, Subscription, Maintenance, Fixed, Exit and/or Trade Fees
• Set up their fund as a Professional Trader or Fund Manager
• Add their MT4 trading account to Alpha and upload KYC documents
• Trade on their MT4, get allocations from investors and withdraw revenue
• Choose between a range of charging options and performance fees for their investors
• Trade at their own broker, while receiving investment allocations from the Alpha Suite Community.
• Access a variety of real time reports about every aspect of their trading, investors, revenue and business.

It is completely free to launch a Fund on Alpha Suite. Fund managers are only requested to share back a part of their revenue into the revenue sharing program, which is shared back with the business introducers and brokers, therefore aligning all participants to work on a common goal to provide the best investment service to the investor.

Next Stop for The Team

The TradeSocio team is gearing up for a highly active 2018 that will see the launch of a new Alpha Suite platform. According to Mr. Salem, Alpha 2018 will include major releases like the Alpha Mobile Application, MT5 and the launch of the Global Funds platform.

The TradeSocio team is also planning more travel to spread the word about its leading fintech platform. You can catch the TradeSocio team at the upcoming IFX Asia Expo in the New Year. The team is also planning to visit South Africa, the Middle East, Indonesia and Australia to deliver seminars and hold private meetings with brokers and fund managers. If TradeSocio is passing through your area, be sure to contact the team to arrange a meeting.

The Global Elite certificate is given to a surface that meets the requirements for the highest level of FIH international competition. Act Global's Xtreme Turf surfaces for Malaysia National Hockey Stadium,the main field and training fieldin Kuala Lumpur, both achieved this certificate by using an elite performance nylon wet-hockey system.

Aquarium software is adding its voice to calls for pet parents to be vigilant when giving food intended for human consumption, to dogs in particular. The pet insurance technology specialist says while some foods are fine, others such as peanut butter can be fatal to dogs.

(PRWEB) December 09, 2017

The warning comes as Xylitol replaces sugar as an ingredient in some foods, and while harmless to humans - even in small amounts it is toxic to dogs, resulting in rapid decreases in blood sugar, diarrhoea, seizures, liver failure and even death.

By linking pet, vet and insurer; smart technology and Big Data can have a positive influence on driving down pet premiums. Software can identify factors that reflect bad pet parenting, raising premiums for the careless and rewarding responsible pet parenting with lower premiums. It therefore makes sense for owners to understand what is good and bad for their pet, for lower premiums; regular exercise and a good diet are key, just like with humans.

“Pet parents need to be aware of what’s in foodstuffs that they share with their pets,” said Aquarium Director, Mark Colonnese. “When 69 per cent of us feel our pets are just as important to our family as the human members, it is tempting to be anthropomorphic towards our pets and assume they are the same as us. They are not. Animal physiology is very different and we run a real risk of killing our pets with misplaced kindness.” he added.

“When feeding pets with what are designed to be human foods, we must be sure what we are giving them is safe,” said Mark. “Xylitol is found in some peanut butters, but is also used as an artificial sweetener in processed foods, cakes, diabetic sweets. The advice is to always check the label and protect our pets from the growing list of foods that could potentially poison them. We are at the start of a curve that can see owner health choices impact on the price of their pet insurance. This may not be a bad thing, as the diligent owner will benefit from even lower premiums, in return for providing their pet with the healthiest lifestyle possible,” Mark concluded.

Aquarium Software is used by a number of travel insurers; pet insurers; and other consumer service providers and affinity partners in the UK, Europe, USA and Canada. For further information contact Aquarium Software on +44 (0)161 927 5620 or visit http://www.aquarium-software.com

WiFi Calling innovator Republic Wireless raises the bar once again to offer the industry’s best value for nationwide smartphone service. Its new “My Choice” plan starts at just $15 for unlimited calls and texts and allows customers to add gigabytes of cellular data as needed for just $5 per GB.

RALEIGH, N.C. (PRWEB) December 11, 2017

Starting tomorrow, Republic’s new “My Choice Plan” starts at $15 for basic unlimited talk and text. Each gigabyte of nationwide 4G LTE cellular data is only $5.

Participants will learn how to evaluate investment opportunities and do due diligence to uncover pitfalls and mitigate risks

PHILADELPHIA (PRWEB) December 11, 2017

The Aresty Institute of Executive Education at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania has launched a new program on venture capital to help institutional investors, venture capitalists, angel investors, and entrepreneurs gain a better understanding of what drives success in early stage investing. The weeklong program will cover structuring an investment fund, sourcing and screening potential deals, and designing a term sheet that protects the rights of investors and founders alike.

“Today, there’s an explosion in funding for startups and high-growth private companies, including not only capital from traditional venture capitalists, but also incubators, angels, and even crowd funding,” says Wharton Private Equity Professor Bilge Yilmaz, who will be the program’s academic director and is also the director of Wharton’s Alternative Investments Initiative.

Research from KPMG indicates that $40 billion of venture capital was invested globally in the second quarter of 2017 alone. “But even with this unparalleled level of opportunity, VC remains one of the most challenging investment areas,” says Yilmaz. “For every successful startup, there are dozens of businesses that fail, even after receiving multiple infusions of capital.”

Designed for investors interested in early stage investing and entrepreneurs looking to raise professional capital, participants in Wharton’s program on venture capital will emerge with a greater understanding about how venture capital funds work, how startup investing is different from other asset classes, and how investments can be structured to avoid pitfalls that risk everything.

In Wharton’s Venture Capital program, multidisciplinary faculty share ways to demystify the venture capital process, including how to raise capital from limited partners, how to develop a systematic way to screen, analyze, and value emerging opportunities; identify risks during deal negotiations; manage investments; and craft exit strategies.

Venture Capital brings together expert Wharton faculty from the fields of finance, strategy, innovation, and alternative investments. Among the faculty teaching in the program are Wharton Professor of Operations, Information and Decisions Serguei Netessine and Adjunct Professors of Finance Kevin Kaiser and David Wessels.

The program was developed for venture capitalists, angel investors, founder-entrepreneurs, attorneys, endowment and pension fund advisors, and government leaders who aspire to create an environment of innovation in their local market. “This program has been specifically designed for anyone in touch with the VC ecosystem,” says Wessels.

Session topics include:

•     Investigating how VC funds are structured, how they operate, and why organizational structure matters to limited partners, general partners, and even founders
•     Raising capital from limited partners, including the design of partnership agreements that enable effective relationships
•     Developing a systematic way to screen, analyze, and value high-growth investment opportunities in nascent industries
•     Acquiring a framework to negotiate, price, and structure the best investor terms and navigating the shareholder’s agreement to avoid costly mistakes
•     How successful entrepreneurs manage their startup finance needs to support their innovative processes
•     Identifying how and when to exit an investment

Improving quality of biobanking practices is essential to improving research outcomes, especially in the fields of translational and precision medicine.

CHICAGO (PRWEB) December 11, 2017

The International Society for Biological and Environmental Repositories (ISBER) and the American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification (ASCP BOC) have announced that they have reached an agreement to develop, administer, and maintain a new Biobanking Practitioner Qualification (BPQ).

The ASCP BOC offers qualifications for specific skills in several technical areas of laboratory medicine. ISBER, a non-profit biobanking society founded in 1999, represents biobankers in the fields of human and environmental biobanking. Upon meeting specific educational and experience requirements for the qualification, candidates will be eligible to complete an online examination and, if successful, gain recognition for their skills and competencies as biobankers. Both societies are hoping that the new qualification will help further the advancement of scientific discoveries through the field of biobanking.

“Improving the quality of biobanking practices is essential to improving research outcomes, especially in the fields of translational and precision medicine. With this new qualification we will be able to advance the science of biobanking to the level required to support future healthcare breakthroughs,” said Dr. Zisis Kozlakidis, President of ISBER.

Executive Director of the ASCP Board of Certification, Patricia Tanabe, MPA, MLS(ASCP)CM, said, “ISBER is an international organization that develops best practice guidelines and high quality standards in biobanking. The ASCP BOC is proud to be partnering with ISBER to develop a qualification in biobanking to provide recognition to individuals working in this growing field. Biobanks are vital to medical research and precision medicine, and therefore require qualified professionals.”

“Given the global growth in the field of modern biobanking, there is a demand for ongoing education and professionalization of this sector,” said Dr. Daniel Simeon-Dubach, Chair of ISBER’s Standards Advisory Committee. “This new qualification will help us meet the needs of all our members as well as biobankers as a whole. ASCP BOC has a proven record of developing credentialing programs on a worldwide level.”

The new qualification is expected to be launched in the first quarter of 2019.
