Vas - any comtract with Bleepa will be separate from Sectra. There is no direct link between the two companies except that that have been working in tandem for the last year or so at Pennine Acute NHS trust so one hs to assume that they have good understanding.

I have not found any other reference to any other CDC exemplar site other then Queen Victoria

Labskin’s work with Modern Water includes the production of Microtox, a testing system that uses reagents to detect toxins in air, water, soil and sediment. This is the first time ever in the UK that these reagents can be produced, and Microtox has already seen success from across the globe after being used as part of water monitoring regulations in France, Spain and Italy.

Just saying.

MILAN, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Italy will use the nation's sewage to predict future coronavirus spreads and to alert authorities to rising cases and new variants before they appear in testing and hospitals, a senior official said, announcing a project to be launched in coming months.

The new tool will be rolled out as governments look for new ways to track the virus to inform public health policy and to decide whether they have to take unpopular measures like restrictions that disrupt people's lives and economies.

Absolutely good news.

Well I am perfectly happy for anyone to do they want with my poo data :-)

Vas - Bleepa is a complimentary technology. Every hospital will have :
1) PACS system (picture archiving communication system) that captures, stores, arranges, archives, backs up, and retrieves medical images. It primarily serves the needs of radiology but also can be helpful for cardiology, ophthalmology, oncology, and other departments.

2) VNA (Vendor Neutral Archive) an application for standardizing medical images and storing them in a format compatible with any PACS, no matter the provider.

3 RIS(radiology information system) a networked software system for managing medical imagery and associated data

As all this technology has developed over years its a minefield of dozens of different providers. Feedback legacy is as a PACs provider with Cadran https://fbkmed.com/cadran-landing/cadran-pacs/ which is being phased out as Management realised the market was saturated and decided to focus on the mobile communication/image viewing tech (Bleepa) because the PACS systems do not provide that functionality. The attraction of Bleepa is that it can literally plug and play with any integrated PACS, VNA, RIS system, so I think to specifically tie up with one PACS system would limit the potential market exposure. NHS trusts can use any system and Bleepa will compliment it.
Hope that all makes sense.

Vas - here is the word for word quote.

well we are addressing a total available market in excess of 10 Billion globally, I think that the CDC opportunity is a total addressable market of about 93 Million, here within UK, so a sizable figure, especially considering we are now live with the exemplar site right at the front runner of that, we are … very well positioned for it

Vas - not sure how that figure is broken down but will look into it.

In the meantime this has to be good news for FDBK. Bleepa have been working in tandem with Sectra PACS system for the past year or so at Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust. So now that Queen Victoria (who are trialling Bleepa) are going over to Sectra (as well as most of the South Coast) can surely only be a good sign

NHS England pledges to level up digital maturity in 2022/3
https://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/emea/nhs-england-pledges-level-digital-maturity-20223
In the 2022/2023 priorities and operations planning guidance it sets out plans to ?rapidly and consistently adopt new models of care that exploit the full potential of digital technologies?.

I dont think you can underestimate the effect that the Omicron outbreak will have had in this sector over the last couple of months.

Covid-19’s Devastating Effect on Tuberculosis Care — A Path to Recovery

Extract
Third, improving case detection is an urgent priority.4 Doing so will necessitate leveraging mobile-phone–based apps and digital tools to improve patient education, triage, and referrals and contact screening. Targeted active-case–finding initiatives, guided by precision public health (i.e., predictive analytics and mapping of hotspots), could help identify people with undiagnosed tuberculosis. This approach will require learning from Covid-19 testing experiences by bringing tuberculosis testing closer to where people live and work and engaging communities, private providers, and community-based health workers and civil-society organizations.4

5 predictions for bitcoin, NFTs and the future of money
Experts reveal where cryptocurrency is headed in 2022.
https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/crypto/5-predictions-for-bitcoin-nfts-and-the-future-of-money/

4. You'll hear more about stablecoins
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have grabbed headlines because of their volatility. You can become a millionaire or lose it all at the hyper speed of the internet. But try buying a latte with bitcoin, and that volatility can make things confusing fast.

Enter stablecoins. This subcategory of cryptocurrency, which is tied to an underlying asset, mitigates much of that volatility. Stablecoins could play a vital role in turning cryptocurrency into something we can easily use to conduct the ordinary transactions of everyday life.

"People should start paying attention to trends in stablecoins both as a medium of payments and as a dollar digital currency. The use cases for cross-border payments, aid relief, instant settlement payments are starting to flourish in 2021 and we will see more of that in 2022," Rachel Mayer, a vice president of product at fintech firm Circle, said in an email.

Transferring assets more efficiently is one of the central values of a stablecoin. This value is powerful for companies that need to move digital assets and cash quickly and efficiently.

"On the payments side, more industries will start adopting stablecoins as a more efficient way to make payments," Omid Malekan, author of The Story of the Blockchain and a professor at Columbia Business School, said in an email. "Stablecoin volumes will continue to grow, but the share of that volume that is only involved in crypto trading will go down."

PAS - DeFi is currently only optimised for crypto assets and not for fiat assets which forces users to through USD only and process into and out of fiat/crypto is inefficient and complex, so basic financial markets like cross-border payments, savings accounts, lending, and foreign exchange are largely disconnected from blockchain networks and the DeFi ecosystem.

Pendulum/Satoshipay are working within the Stellar ecosystem to solve that problem and automatically open up those financial markets by bridging Stellar to DeFi to connect the fiat banking system to DeFi products and services. hope that explains it

I feel blessed that so many experts in pharmaceutical licence deals have so selflessly decided to appear today to help investors with their unquestionable sector knowledge. :-))

BB - absolutey. With all the speculation around Dynasty being sold, and Pendulum potential valuation tied into yesterdays price move they had no choice to post RNS under AIM rule 17 basically stating that nothing has changed.

Now (laugh) it may not sound like very much, but because I have been going out with their scientists in order to talk to people who we are going to be sub-contracting the work to this means that I can be incorporated into the confidentiality agreements as consultant, and can go out physically on site to talk to people, visit hospitals in order to decide which clinics are going to be running the trial in. So, it really enables us to start running the trials process in parallel to their fund raise.

Now clearly the sub-licence itself is subject to their successful fundraise, and when they have raised sufficient cash to run the trial, then we will be able to complete sub-licence signature, but in the meantime making sure everything is ready to go is a really important sept forwards.

We have commented in the announcement that they expect to complete fundraising within Q1, we signed the Letter of intent in November and that really kicked off the their fund raising efforts, and that allowed them to go out to investors for the first time to show exactly what they had, what they were planning to develop, to do this fundraising. We announces at that time we were optimistic, that there was a chance for that funding to be completed by year end, clearly that has not happened, we are into the new year now, but we are very confident of it going ahead and we wouldn’t be putting the work into this service agreement if that wasn’t the case, and we have outlined the end of Q1 as a ..shall we say a long stop date in order to get the rest of the paperwork completed and for them to get their fund raising done, so we are working towards that, we are helping them to work towards that, and we are really positive for the future of this sub-licence
