YourUpdateTV

Despite great strides in prostate cancer care over the past several years, racial disparities in care persist. Black and Hispanic men have a high burden of prostate cancer mortality. Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men, with the number rising to 1 in 6 for Black men and comprises more than 1 in 5 of all new cancer diagnoses for Hispanic men. The Covid-19 pandemic has also made things worse as early in the pandemic, many cancer resources were diverted, leaving scores of patients, including those with prostate cancer, with limited to no access to surgical treatment. So, what can be done and what does someone need to know to stay healthy? Conducting a nationwide media tour to discuss this important topic was Dr. Brian K. McNeil. Dr McNeil is an American Urological Association spokesperson and Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs, Vice-Chair, Department of Urology at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University Topics that Dr McNeil discussed during interviews with radio and TV stations across the country included: What research has discovered about racial disparities among men with prostate cancer The racial disparity in the utilization of new therapies for advanced prostate cancer How covid-19 and where someone lives could affect their treatment options When should men get screened for prostate cancer?

Rappore

Rappore, a new-to-market virtual health care platform specializing in mental health therapies, now offers in-network treatment through leading insurance providers including United Health Care, Aetna, Cigna and Blue Cross Blue Shield. According to the National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI), 1 in 5 U.S. adults experienced mental illness in 2019, a number that has only increased this past year by the pandemic ( Kff.org ). While there are over 500,000 mental health clinicians in the U.S., 119M Americans still live in mental health shortage areas, making it a growing challenge.

MarketFinance in pole position as it raises £280m and is approved for Recovery Loan Scheme lending

Stockwood Strategy

Fintech business lender MarketFinance has today announced a £280m debt and equity fundraise and its accreditation under the Recovery Loan Scheme (RLS). This comes after MarketFinance became one of the first fintechs to be accredited under the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS), having lent £250m to companies across the UK. Launched by the British Business Bank in April 2021, the Recovery Loan Scheme supports access to finance for UK businesses as they recover and grow following the pandemic. Funding from the Scheme can be used for any legitimate business purpose including managing cashflow, investment in new equipment and preparing for future growth. It is designed to appeal to businesses that can afford to take out additional finance for these purposes. MarketFinance is ready to lend immediately with its debt and equity funding. The debt financing has been provided from a large global investment firm alongside Italy’s largest bank, Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. The equity investment was led by Black River Ventures (previous investments include Marqeta, Upgrade, Coursera and Digital Ocean) with participation from existing investor, Barclays Bank PLC. Alongside this, the launch of MarketFinance Flex Loans today will aim to help nearly one million SMEs in the UK solve their short-term funding gaps up to £100,000. Viola Credit has provided MarketFinance with £20m to launch the Flex Loans product. Similar to a credit card or overdraft, businesses will have a pre-agreed limit of up to £100,000 which they can withdraw at once or in smaller amounts. Flexible repayment options enable the businesses to spread their repayments over 3 - 12 months based on their working capital needs. It is a solution to support a variety of one-off and ongoing funding requirements such as purchasing inventory, clearing outstanding invoices, upfront supplier payments, investment into sales and marketing, or expanding the team. Anil Stocker, CEO at MarketFinance, commented: “This funding and our accreditation as a Recovery Loan Scheme lender is testament to the brilliant work everyone at MarketFinance has done to serve UK businesses during a difficult period. Adapting to the increased demand from businesses looking for finance online instead of through traditional avenues also drove our profitability this year, which has continued into H2 2021”. From today, businesses can immediately apply* for an RLS loan from MarketFinance between £50k and £250k repayable over 4, 5 or 6 years. Repayments in the first six months of the term will only consist of interest charges, an additional support measure as businesses gear themselves for a full reopening of the economy. Anil Stocker aded: “Businesses have been resilient and managed to hold their nerve during one of the most difficult periods in recent history. We were there to help with the CBILS and will do the same with the RLS by offering a simple application process, quick decisions and sending funds to businesses immediately. Our fundraise puts us in pole position to do this. We played a key role during CBILS, as one of the first fintech lenders, to help get funds to businesses quickly when they found their applications were delayed and or denied by others. We will stand shoulder to shoulder with businesses and help navigate them through to the full reopening of the economy and beyond”. As a native fintech, the MarketFinance platform is designed to receive, process and manage large volumes of businesses applying for finance using the platform. From simple online application forms, enhanced credit risk models to exceptional one-to-one customer support, MarketFinance will get RLS funds to businesses in need, quickly. “We aim to quickly lend to businesses around the UK. We anticipate demand for RLS to come from companies that will need capital to scale operations ahead of the full reopening of the economy. Manufacturers, wholesalers, public services businesses and a range of others will need the funds to ramp up supplies and build pipelines as business returns to normal” added Anil Stocker.

Patient Safety Authority cautions parents, reveals tips to avoid infant falls

Patient Safety Authority

With caretakers and family members often unavailable due to pandemic restrictions and fears, many new parents are more tired and stressed than ever. That’s a safety concern says the Patient Safety Authority, especially as it relates to infant falls. September is Baby Safety Month. It’s the perfect time to remind parents that infant falls are preventable—if you understand the risks and take the proper precautions. According to the CDC, pediatric falls result in about 2.8 million emergency department visits per year and account for 50% of non-fatal injuries in infants. The number of households reporting injuries has increased from 14.3% in 2017 to 26% in 2020. These home-based injuries were most often due to falls. The number one risk for infant falls is a caretaker who falls asleep while holding them, often during feeding. Environmental risk factors are also a concern such as placing the baby on a high surface. Tiredness can affect judgement about safe handling and positioning of infants. Falls also happen when someone drops a baby—for example, when a young sibling is holding a squirming baby brother or sister. “Even though parenting is a 24-hour-a-day role, it’s important for you to get as much rest as you can, both in the hospital with your newborn and at home,” says Regina Hoffman, executive director of the PSA. “In the hospital, ask your nurse to place a note on your door when you are sleeping and ask for help if you feel tired.” Any time you fall asleep while holding or feeding your baby, the baby is at higher risk for sudden unexpected infant death (a broader umbrella that includes sudden infant death syndrome [SIDS]), suffocation, or sleep-related causes of death or injury. Remember the ABCDs of sleep: Babies should sleep alone, on their backs, and in a crib, and you should be aware of danger, such as falling asleep or being under the influence of drugs or alcohol (including prescription medication). To get your rest, sleep when the baby sleeps, even for short periods of time. Don’t hesitate to ask visitors to leave so you can nap, and if you feel too tired to care for your baby safely, make sure you place him or her in the bassinet or crib—never in your bed. In conjunction with UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital, the PSA released a video on infant falls prevention. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA9T839KeJ0 About PSA Established under the Medical Care Availability and Reduction of Error (MCARE) Act of 2002, the PSA, an independent state agency, collects and analyzes patient safety data to improve safety outcomes and help prevent patient harm. http://patientsafety.pa.gov/ Contact Details Bev Volpe +1 609-230-4696 bev@madisongall.com Company Website http://patientsafety.pa.gov/

Israeli SleepX to be merged into AppYea Inc. (APYP)

Appyea

AppYea continues the process of merging SleepX into the company. The merger is expected to be completed by 12/01/2021 in accordance with the model published on 08/02/2021 ( Link ) In parallel, SleepX continues developing and improving its algorithms and planning to start production during 2022. The SleepX product is being designed to provide a unique answer to approximately 90 million Americans who suffer from the problem of snoring. DreamIT The night wrist band will include several sensors and a vibration motor which will operates with an intensity adapted to the user's reactions in real time in order to accustom the user to sleep in the correct position using biofeedback, thereby reducing or eliminating snoring. SleepX solution is being developed in collaboration with the Biomedical department of Ben Gurion University in Beer Sheva, and is patent - protected in the US, EU and Israel. https://www.sleepxclear.com/ipportfolio In addition to reducing snoring and improving sleep quality, users will be able to access important statistics relating to their sleep patterns via an app (Apple and Android) to track over time and detect anomalies. Product Clip The sleep apnea market is projected to reach USD 9.9 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period. Major factors driving the growth of this market include the growing awareness regarding the detrimental effects of snoring, availability, and benefits of anti-snoring treatments, growing geriatric and obese population, presence of a large number of cigarette smokers and alcoholics, and a large pool of an untapped snoring population. However, poor efficacy of current anti-snoring treatments available in the market, high cost of some of the anti-snoring treatments, and lack of reimbursement are major factors restraining the growth of this market. “The SleepX approach should not only solve physiological problems for a great many people, but it may also allow many couples to go back to sleeping together," says Bary Molchadsky, SleepX's entrepreneur and CEO. “The decision to merge with AppYea was made in order to accelerate the start point of production. Lately, we see major players entering the market – Google presented its new Fitbit watch with the possibility to monitor snoring. Amazon presented at the beginning of the year the new Alexa that is supposed to identify sleep apnea. However, we believe that the patent-protected technology underlying the SleepX approach should be accepted in the marketplace.” “The SleepX products are being designed to provide, besides monitoring, biofeedback based individual treatment, adjusted to each user in real-time. Following the launch of the first snoring treatment product, the company intends to start clinical trials in order to receive FDA approval for sleep apnea treatment.” “I’m certain that tens of thousands of academic research hours together with international strong patents, would provide Appyea’s investors a significant advantage over time.” Legal Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This release includes forward-looking statements.
