Translation.
Hamburg, November 04, 2021 - The investment company coinIX GmbH & Co. KGaA, which specializes in investments in digital assets and blockchain technology, is expanding its portfolio through a partnership and the acquisition of a position in Pendulum.
Pendulum raised $5 million in an oversubscribed private sale round of the future PEN token with strategic partners from around the world. Other participants in the pre-sale included LD Capital, Duck DAO, 6K Starter, CRT Capital, and high-profile angel investors such as Daniel Masters and Shiyan Koh (Hustle Fund). The capital raised through the private sale will be used to continue building Pendulum, a blockchain that bridges the gap between fiat and decentralized finance ("DeFi").
Pendulum is a blockchain with ambitions to become the missing link between fiat and DeFi ecosystems.
SatoshiPay recognized the need for this type of blockchain when building its DTransfer payment service. Meinhard Benn, CEO of SatoshiPay, commented, "We developed the Pendulum Blockchain to connect the world's currencies with decentralized finance. The last few months have already been a great journey for Pendulum from initial idea to prototype and successful private pre-sale of PEN, and of course we're just at the beginning."
The blockchain project was launched in May 2021 with a grant from the Stellar Development Foundation for research and development. The first prototype of Pendulum, which is a bridge to Stellar and an automated market maker (AMM), is now available on Pendulum's internal testnet.
With Stellar's 15+ fiat currency tokens and local integrations with traditional banking infrastructure, Pendulum's smart contract capabilities, and bridges to Ethereum and Polkadot, the DeFi ecosystem will have access to the immense liquidity of the foreign exchange markets.
Stellar-based services can leverage all types of DeFi protocols focused on fiat tokens, including automated market makers (AMMs) that enable FX trading without intermediaries, or credit protocols for instant liquidity in multiple currencies.
Next steps for Pendulum include a public testnet and mainnet, the introduction of performant smart contracts to the Stellar network, and the simultaneous expansion of the Polkadot/Kusama ecosystem to include a range of robust fiat assets. As the Pendulum project grows at a remarkable pace, the team is looking for additional developers.
Susanne Fromm, CEO of coinIX, is pleased to support Pendulum as an investor, "Pendulum creates a bridge between fiat stablecoins on the Stellar network and the Ethereum and Polkadot ecosystems. This opens up opportunities for new user groups to earn DeFi returns and encourages mass adoption of decentralized financial systems."

Not sure what you mean by that comment Alfreddie ?

Taking into account operation Ramp down and the Govnt move to see the end to Covid costs I think Microtox BT is now concentrating more on the other 40 pathogens to make sure it is not just a one trick pony. GB alluded as such in the presentation.Wise move IMO.

In answer - yes in my view.
In Tom Oakleys recent interview he made the point that they were now fully funded.for the roll out stage. The roll out of Community diagnostic centres (approx 150) is over a two year period with about the first 40 over the next six months or so. So this isnt an instant national procurement.

Shaz. There is only CE/UKCA-accredited communications platform on the NHSX clinical communications framework.

A new referral tool will help GPs to reduce ‘inappropriate’ requests made to radiology departments, the Government has said.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) this week announced that the NHS will receive a cash injection of £248m to overhaul diagnostics services and tackle waiting lists, including funding for the clinical decision tool.
The tool will enable GPs to select the most appropriate scan for a patient, looking at symptoms and medical history, the DHSC said.
It added that the tool aims to ‘cut inappropriate requests made to radiology departments, saving radiologists’ time’ and ensuring patients access the correct scans when they need them’.
Guidelines for the tool will be issued by the Royal College of Radiologists and it will be used across England.
A DHSC spokesperson told Pulse on background that use of the tool will not be mandatory for GPs, but that it will be embedded in the system to support referrals.
The funding will also be used to digitalise diagnostic pathways using the newest technology to enhance the way tests, images and results are shared across systems in hospitals, labs and GP practices, the DHSC said.
It added that the investment will lessen the ‘administrative burden’ on NHS staff, allowing them to ‘analyse more tests, checks and scans while also reducing the turnaround time from a patient taking a test to receiving a diagnosis and then starting treatment’.
BMA council deputy chair Dr David Wrigley told Pulse that the Government’s aims are ‘commendable’ but that it must address the NHS workforce crisis ‘as a priority’ in order to ‘deliver on the technology [it is] investing in’.
He said: ‘The NHS is in need of much more than improved sharing, including further diagnostic services across both primary and secondary care. When you consider all the other factors that are causing the ever-growing patient waiting lists, there is much more that is needed to be done.
‘When developing strategies to tackle the backlog there is simply no ignoring the NHS workforce crisis.’
He added: ‘Without addressing this significant workforce shortage – including the retention of staff who are currently exhausted as they continue to manage unsustainable and unsafe workloads and addressing punitive pension taxation which drives clinicians away from additional work – any effort here risks rendering these investments ineffectual.’
The Government must also allocate ‘sufficient resources’ to train staff to ‘make best use of any new technology’, Dr Wrigley said.
NHS medical director Professor Stephen Powis said: ‘NHS staff are making efficient use of additional funding and following the recent rollout of new diagnostic centres, the number of patients waiting for a diagnostic test is falling for the first time in a year, meaning more people are getting the checks they need and if required, are able to begin tr

Being funded by Alliance medical - not sure if they are potential clients or competitors ?
https://www.alliancemedical.co.uk/home
Alliance are already providing MRI and CT scan services at Nuffield in Brighton and Princess Royal in West Sussex - all part of Sussex Integrated Care System (same as Queen Victoria) so one would assume its all complementary.
Interestingly tears ago Feedback and Alliance were in talks over TexRAD
