One of The World's Prestigious Hospitals

Applied UV, Inc. (NasdaqCM: AUVI ) ("Applied UV" or the "Company"), a pathogen elimination technology company that applies the power of narrow-range ultraviolet light ("UVC") for surface areas and catalytic bioconversion technology for air purification to destroy pathogens safely, thoroughly, and automatically, announces that its wholly owned subsidiary SteriLumen has just installed its patented LumiCide Surface and Drain UVC Disinfecting Systems initially, in 17 patient rooms within the world renowned Mt. Sinai Medical Center Morningside. Mount Sinai Morningside , formerly known as Mount Sinai St. Luke's, is a teaching hospital located in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City.

Mt. Sinai plans to publish the results in an Academic Paper later this summer which would further validate the previously obtained independent results conducted by ResInnova Laboratories. This validation could facilitate the adoption of our LumiCide Surface and Drain disinfection solutions throughout healthcare facilities globally.

Mount Sinai Morningside is affiliated with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Mount Sinai Health System, a nonprofit hospital system formed by the merger of Continuum Health Partners and the Mount Sinai Medical Center in September 2013. It provides general medical and surgical facilities, ambulatory care, and a Level 2 Trauma Center, verified by the American College of Surgeons. It operates 21 clinics and as of 2020, is nationally ranked by U.S. News & World Report .

John F. Andrews Applied UV's CEO and Director stated, "We welcome Mt. Sinai Medical Center to the Applied UV Family. The addition of this premier, globally recognized, and respected teaching institution to our growing list of leading hospitals who place their trust in our patented disinfection products (both air and surface) is further testament to the proven effectiveness but also, too the growing interest of globally recognized brands and companies who use our family of solutions to protect their facilities, employees, and products from harmful airborne and surface related pathogens. We look forward to a long and successful relationship with the Mt. Sinai team."

The LumiCide Disinfection System product line has the following attributes:

Applied UV's internal research and research provided by the CDC estimates that each year about 1 in 25 U.S. hospital patients (approximately 1.4M Americans) are diagnosed with at least one infection related to hospital care alone and additional infections occur in other healthcare settings. Approximately 900,000 Americans die each year due to complications associated with Hospital Acquired Infections. Many HAI's are caused by the most urgent and serious antibiotic -resistant (AR) bacteria and my lead to sepsis of death. According to NIH, Healthcare-associated infections are known to increase the length of stay, health care costs, and mortality. Each year the top 5 healthcare-associated infections result in about $9.8 billion costs.

Applied UV is focused on the development and acquisition of technology that address infection control in the healthcare, hospitality, commercial and municipal markets. The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries - SteriLumen, Inc. ("SteriLumen") and Munn Works, LLC ("Munn Works"). SteriLumen's connected platform for Data Driven Disinfection™ applies the power of ultraviolet light (UVC) to destroy pathogens safely, thoroughly, and automatically, addressing the challenge of healthcare-acquired infections ("HAIs"). Targeted for use in facilities that have high customer turnover such as hospitals, hotels, commercial facilities, and other public spaces, the Company's Lumicide™ platform uses UVC LEDs in several patented designs for infection control in and around high-traffic areas, including sinks and restrooms, killing bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens residing on hard surfaces within devices' proximity. The Company's patented in-drain disinfection device, Lumicide Drain, is the only product on the market that addresses this critical pathogen intensive location. SteriLumen's Airocide® air purification devices are research backed, clinically proven, and developed for NASA with assistance from the University of Wisconsin. Airocide® is listed as an FDA Class II Medical device, utilizes a proprietary photocatalytic (PCO) bioconversion technology that draws air into a reaction chamber that converts damaging molds, microorganisms, dangerous airborne pathogens, destructive VOCs, allergens, odors and biological gasses into harmless water vapor and green carbon dioxide without producing ozone or other harmful byproducts. Airocide® applications include healthcare, hospitality, grocery chains, wine making facilities, commercial real estate, schools, dental offices, post-harvest, grocery, cannabis facilities and homes.

WellteQ Digital Health Inc. (CSE: WTEQ) (OTCQB: WTEQF), (the "Company" or wellteq"), which supplies digital health and wellness solutions to customers in 12 languages across 32 countries is pleased to announce the Beta release of its new internet of medical things (IoMT) HealthHub, targeting commercial release later this year.

Based on a survey2of physicians in the United States who serve predominantly Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) and Medicare Advantage (MA) patients, McKinsey estimates that up to $265 billion (about $820 per person in the US) worth of care services - which represents up to 25% of the total cost of care - for Medicare FFS and MA beneficiaries could shift from traditional facilities to the home by 2025, without a reduction in quality or access.

The wellteq HealthHub has been developed from scratch by the Company, as an entirely new IoMT platform that can connect, manage, and monitor any standardized IoMT or IoT device using edge computing. Edge computing is part of a distributed computing topology in which information processing is located close to the physical location where things and people connect with the network. The HealthHub was specifically designed for the transition from centralized to distributed health deployments across enterprise health, clinic, pharmacy and for remote patient locations.

Edge computing augments and expands the possibilities of the primarily centralized, hyperscale cloud model of today, and supports the systemic evolution and deployment of the IoMT and new application types, enabling next-generation digital health applications. The HealthHub also offers contingency to cloud server processing in the case of a network outage to create a temporary stand-alone network.

The HealthHub has been built with wellteq's next-generation Unified API, which allows for secure remote monitoring and management, and enables third-party integrations with all aspects of the HealthHub and the API. This allows the HealthHub to be an integral value add for both new and existing EPHI (electronic protected health information) systems. All features and functionality delivered through wellteq's client applications and hardware will be offered as combined or stand-alone services for clients and partners to integrate with their own applications, services, and systems. This includes IoMT metrics capture, processing and automations, patient tracking with personalized digital coaching, reward scheme management, social activities, and content.

A powerful eight-core processor, large memory footprint and a versatile machine-learning secondary processor enable the hub to handle a wide variety of services, including natural language processing (NLP) services and auto-updated training models for artificial intelligence (AI). To best support the wide variety of IoMT devices, wellteq has designed a custom wireless chipset, enabling connectivity with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave and, optionally, cellular. Alongside the wireless chipset is a completely customized and optimized firmware stack that helps manage the multitude of wireless protocols, allowing the HealthHub to support over 500 connected IoMT and/or IoT devices simultaneously.

wellteq CEO, Scott Montgomery stated, "We are excited to initiate wellteq's entry into virtual care with a uniquely robust and truly one-of-kind solution. It has taken some time and a lot of effort, and we are proud to be the first company to launch an IoMT specific solution like the HealthHub that has been designed from scratch to facilitate the digital transition to virtual care for patients around the world."

wellteq is now working closely with its Beta research partners to integrate the HealthHub into their already deployed IoMT and IoT device configurations and applications for a variety of healthcare use cases, which will be the basis for wellteq's generic and condition-specific solutions for new B2B Virtual Care customers.

October 28 2021 TheNewswire - Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada - Jazz Resources Inc. (the " Company " or " JZR ") (TSXV:JZR) is pleased to report that drilling undertaken on the bedrock portion of the Vila Nova gold project, Amapa State, Brazil has intersected multiple veins with visible gold in all four drill holes, including the previously reported veins totaling 23.09 meters grading 31.58 gt (one ounce per tonne) at a vertical depth of 74.47 meters in Hole VN-3 (Cord. 44.416N, 418.157W).

The aforementioned intersection represents three quartz veins within a 37.78-meter interval that averages 19.3 g/t (0.62 oz) over the entire interval.  True width of the unit is estimated at 60% of down-hole length in steeply dipping units that sub-crop below the 20 meters of unconsolidated tailings and rubble from previous hand mining.

Additional drill results for holes VN-1 through VN-4 are tabulated below.

The fire assays were conducted by GEOSOL- SGS Laboratories in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

The illustration set out in the photo below demonstrates the parallel-banded iron formation quartz vein systems outcropping in surface pits and intersected by the drilling that was recently conducted.  The values quoted above are from a single drill hole that is located in close proximity to this location, cutting across three of the near-vertical vein systems on the Vila Nova property.  The multiple veins outcrop over a distance of at least 1.5km, within a total claim position of over 3 km in length.

The photo set out below has been derived from a report titled, "Diamond drilling in the Vila Nova Gold Project, Brazil: Updates September 2021" prepared by Hamilton Antonio Giampietro, Geological Engineer, on behalf of the Company.

Intuit TurboTax, QuickBooks and Mailchimp bring together the hispanic community to celebrate and financially empower individuals and entrepreneurs

Intuit (Nasdaq: INTU), the global financial technology platform that makes TurboTax , Credit Karma , QuickBooks , and Mailchimp , today announces a month of special programming and resources to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. The series begins with a roundtable conversation of Hispanic business leaders including actor, author, and philanthropist George Lopez and award-winning journalist Soledad O'Brien. Intuit's "Unidos We Grow" campaign highlights the financial opportunities Hispanic consumers, businesses, and communities have to power their prosperity.

In today's economy, many Latinos in the United States are struggling with inflation identified as the number one barrier to achieving financial goals, according to a recent survey by Intuit QuickBooks . Hispanic and Latino entrepreneurs are quick to recognize the contributions of both their families and communities to their success: 95% give credit to their family for their career success, and 75% have also benefited from the support of their local community. Despite the impact of inflation, an overwhelming majority (91%) of Latino consumers are able to achieve some or all of their long-term financial goals. This percentage is even higher among Latino business owners, with 96% saying they are able to achieve some or all of their business goals. Still, there are challenges for Latino consumers and business owners. Overall, 62% of Latinos surveyed would benefit from more help to achieve their financial goals and just 7% feel they have enough money to plan for retirement.

"Building equity for the Latino and Hispanic community in the US remains a key priority for Intuit. In recent years, we've strengthened our Latino talent pipeline as well as engagement and retention efforts, and doubled down on our investment in communities and school districts with high representation of Latinos," said Humera Shahid, VP of Talent Acquisition and Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer at Intuit. "This Hispanic Heritage month, we aim to go above and beyond, thinking creatively across all our brands – including TurboTax, QuickBooks and Mailchimp – to create equity and build community for the Latino community at large."

Unidos We Grow Activities Throughout Hispanic Heritage Month taking place Sept. 15 - Oct. 15, Intuit, TurboTax, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp will share resources and content and host events for small businesses and consumers to fuel and celebrate their financial success. Supporting programs include:

Intuit also supports Hispanic and Latino communities through our Prosperity Hub School District program. Through this program, Intuit partners with school districts to develop the next generation of students, and their teachers, by providing access to financial education programs, entrepreneurial training, and other resources to help better prepare them for the future. In addition to free online classes, focusing on specific school districts in key areas is a crucial factor to help pave the path forward to future success by helping address the inequalities in today's classrooms. The program currently includes 21 school districts across nine countries with a combined enrollment of more than 1.2 million students.

Financial technology leader FIS ® (NYSE: FIS) announced today that it is revolutionizing the way small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs) gain access to embedded payments and finance solutions through software providers with the launch of Worldpay for Platforms™ .

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220913005235/en/

This new software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution combines the power of the global merchant and banking capabilities of FIS with embedded payments technology built on the platform brought to the company through its Payrix ™ acquisition.

Through Worldpay for Platforms, software companies can now onboard merchants and get them set up quickly to have access to the payment capabilities of one of the world's largest payment processors in Worldpay from FIS ® . 1

"In today's digital-first, on-demand economy, software companies need to provide broader experiences to their users. These merchants rely on technology providers to power their mission-critical business management and commerce solutions," said Matt Downs, Group President of Platforms, FIS. "Early adopters of embedded payments include ride sharing and delivery companies that allowed customers to easily pay for rides; and for drivers to have access to banking through a single app experience. We are powering similar experiences in a broader market.

"Now, these businesses are pushing the advantages of embedded payments and finance even further and are starting to offer flexible financing at the point-of-sale," continued Downs. "With Worldpay for Platforms–and the power of the global merchant and banking offerings at FIS–we are digitally enabling software companies to create unique experiences for their users and consumers."

With Worldpay for Platforms, SMBs of all types will now be able to accept hundreds of currencies and popular payment methods globally, across online, mobile and point-of-sale transactions, as well as manage subscriptions, billing and invoices. SMBs can also easily send funds and issue refunds, manage chargebacks, create customizable reports and get the tailored support they need to run their business and better compete with larger competitors.

Additionally, the platform provides access to customized payment offerings and differentiated pricing, as well as ‘white-glove' customer support and advisory services to software companies. This allows these companies to harness the advantages of being full payment facilitators without the heavy infrastructure lift.

Worldpay for Platforms solves a significant need for software companies that are focused on serving their users with various financial technology tools, while removing many of the go-betweens that come with having multiple software and payments providers. For example, the solution can help eliminate the need for SMBs to pay separate partners to assist with card issuance, cash advances, or faster access to cash flow. Along with the solutions within the new API-driven developer portal – SMBs have access to the tool to assist with everything they need for long-term success through their software provider.

"Merchants have embraced integrated payments systems because they would rather run their businesses than manage a portfolio of service providers. At the same time, commerce platforms and marketplaces have embraced the opportunity that value-added payment and financial services can provide to them and their merchants. By leveraging the broad set of financial services products offered by FIS, Worldpay for Platforms should be well positioned to serve the market," said Aaron Press, Research Director, Worldwide Payment Strategies, IDC Insights.

The digitization of the financial industry has accelerated in recent years, and investment in fintech has emerged as an attractive wealth-building opportunity for investors.

In 2021, global fintech investment totaled US$210 billion, according to KPMG. “Expansion” is the word the firm used to describe the fintech market for the year, as that figure was double the previous year's investment.

KPMG attributes 2021’s success to growing deal sizes in a wide variety of fintech subsectors — from cryptocurrencies and blockchain to wealthtech and cybersecurity.

Looking forward, the global fintech market is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 19.8 percent between 2022 and 2028, states Vantage Market Research, and it is expected to reach a market value of around US$332.5 billion in that time.

Growth in venture capital investment, investor interest and private equity investment have all helped fuel innovation and investment in fintech. Read on to learn more about this flourishing market.

Investment in fintech has skyrocketed since 2018, bolstered by a number of major fintech deals that were characterized by their size and geographic diversity.

Many private equity firms have taken notice of this emerging technology in recent years and placed their money into fintech. Among others, Blackstone invested US$17 billion in Refinitiv, while P2 Partners and Silver Lake, a global financial technology business, acquired Blackhawk Network for US$3.5 billion.

In 2021, venture capital investment in fintech was strong despite global uncertainty. In fact, KPMG reported that fintech investment from venture capital sources totaled a record US$115 billion, pushing well past the previous record high of US$53.2 billion in venture capital investment reached in 2018.

The crypto, blockchain and buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) sectors saw the most venture capital investment in 2021. Investment in crypto- and blockchain-based fintech rose from US$5.4 billion in 2020 to over US$30 billion last year. BNPL companies attracted large deals across jurisdictions; some of those highlighted by KPMG include Klarna’s US$1.2 billion venture capital raise, PayPal’s (NASDAQ:PYPL)US$2.7 billion acquisition of Japan-based Paidy and Block’s (formerly Square) (NYSE:SQ) US$29 billion acquisition of Australia-based Afterpay.

Corporate participation in venture investment remained high in 2021, due in part to the strategic nature of these investments. Corporate investment in fintech came to US$50 billion globally during the period.

The Americas attracted the most fintech investment regionally, accounting for half the global total, or US$105 billion. All of the seven venture capital funding rounds that exceeded US$1 billion in 2021 occurred in the Americas, including a US$2 billion raise by US-based Generate and a US$1.1 billion raise by US-based Chime.

US corporations are also investing more in fintech capabilities as a means to support their business strategies. KPMG notes that the sector is marked by a “growing number of corporates and fintechs looking to leverage AI and machine learning across all fintech subsectors, including B2B, cybersecurity, and insurtech."

In the Asia Pacific region, fintech investment reached US$27.5 billion in 2021 — almost twice that of 2020 — across a record 1,165 deals. KPMG notes that in this region “banks are increasingly looking for assistance to improve their embedded finance, digital wallet, and supply chain finance capabilities.” Backend-as-a-solution technology is also gaining increasing interest from banks and startups.

In Europe, fintech investment also hit a record high, coming in at US$77 billion for 2021. This figure was due in large part to merger and acquisition activity, such as the US$14.8 billion acquisition of Refinitiv by the London Stock Exchange and the US$1 billion funding round of BNPL specialist Klarna.

As the sector continues to mature, a number of trends are characterizing the fintech industry.

The financial technology sector is advancing in many ways, both locally and internationally, in areas like real estate, peer-to-peer lending, auto financing and general lending. Both the wealth management sector and portfolio companies are recognizing the benefits of fintech.

Forbes recently identified several trends shaping the infrastructure side of fintech: embedded finance, blockchain technology, cross-border e-commerce, super app platforms, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.

BNPL options are a growing component of embedded finance; these businesses allow consumers who are purchasing through merchants to pay in multiple smaller payments instead of one large immediate one. Transactions in this sector of the fintech market are expected to reach US$680 billion by 2025.

More and more financial institutions are embracing the efficiency and security of blockchain-as-a-service solutions. A number of firms, including Citigroup (NYSE:C) and Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), are applying cryptocurrency and blockchain technology to their operations.

Cross-border e-commerce involves selling across a border using an online platform between a retailer and a consumer (B2C), between businesses (B2B) or between two individuals (C2C). Vantage Market Research has forecast that the cross-border B2C market has the potential to grow at a CAGR of 25.1 percent between 2022 and 2028 to reach a value of US$3.4 billion. The Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate in this segment.

Super apps are another burgeoning fintech sector. Forbes notes that super apps “offer vast and diverse suites of services and products from one platform.” Like brick-and-mortar superstores with retail, groceries, hair salons, restaurants, banking and mobile phone services all under one roof, super apps aim to keep customers locked into their platform by offering to fulfil as many needs as possible. Examples of super apps include WeChat and AliPay.

Fintech companies are harnessing the power of AI and machine learning to analyze data and provide insights that serve to benefit both businesses and consumers.

“AI and machine learning have benefited banks and fintech, as they can process vast amounts of information about customers,” according to a report by Mordor Intelligence. “This data and information are then compared to obtain results about suitable services/products that customers want, which has aided primarily in developing customer relations.” The market research firm predicts the market for AI in fintech could grow by a CAGR of 23.17 percent between 2021 and 2026 to top US$26.67 billion.

If you’re serious about making an investment in fintech, there are a number of ways to step into the sector, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and stocks.

ETFs provide exposure to multiple companies at once. Fintech-focused options include:

Fintech companies are popping up left, right and center, and it might be overwhelming for some investors. As a starting point, check out our list of Canadian fintech stocks, learn more about what Australia has to offer and see which US fintech stocks may warrant investor attention.

Whichever investing path you choose, it’s clear the fintech sector has grown considerably in recent years as more private equity and fintech investors enter the space. As companies continue to innovate in finance and ultimately the capital markets, the industry looks likely to keep expanding in the future.

Former President of Expedia Marketplace Brings Extensive Product Management and Technical Experience to PayPal

PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL) today announced that John Kim will join the company as Executive Vice President (EVP), Chief Product Officer (CPO), effective September 26, 2022 . Kim brings unique skills and experience building foundational consumer products and marketplaces from the ground up. Throughout his career, he has driven innovative product development to compete and win in rapidly evolving and competitive markets. Kim succeeds current CPO, Mark Britto who will remain with PayPal for a transition period, before retiring at the end of this year.

Kim joins PayPal following a decade-long tenure with Expedia Group, where he served most recently as President of Expedia Marketplace. In this role, he oversaw strategy, product, technology and operations for all of Expedia Group's lines of business – including lodging, air, car, cruise and activities – bringing Expedia's products to life for its customers and suppliers. Previously, Kim served as President of Platform & Marketplaces where he led the development of artificial intelligence, user experience, research, ecommerce, marketplaces and yield management, and oversaw the data and development platforms that power Expedia Group's two-sided marketplace platform.

Previously in his career, Kim served as President of HomeAway/Vrbo after it was acquired by Expedia Group, then as President of Vrbo. At Vrbo, Kim led the company's transformation from a subscription-based advertising model to a modern ecommerce business powered by data science and technology. Before Vrbo, Kim served as Expedia's Chief Product Officer. He has more than two decades of experience across venture-backed startups, medium-sized companies and globally known brands including Yahoo!, Overture, Accenture, Bank of America and Pelago.

In his role as PayPal's EVP, CPO, Kim will lead the consumer and merchant product and engineering teams. Together with his product and engineering leadership teams, he will work to advance PayPal's position as a leader in digital payments and commerce for consumers and merchants around the globe.

"I'm thrilled to welcome John Kim to the PayPal team," said Dan Schulman , PayPal President and CEO. "John is an outstanding leader with a proven ability to build and lead high performing global teams that drive new and innovative product development. Developing new products at scale that engage customers and merchants through an exceptional user experience requires a unique combination of talents, and we've truly found these in John."

Schulman continued, " Mark Britto had an indelible impact on PayPal. We have all benefited from Mark's leadership and his deep commitment to creating value for our customers. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors."

"I am incredibly excited to join the passionate and dynamic team at PayPal," said Kim. "PayPal stands alone at the intersection of technology, digital payments, financial services and commerce. The scale of its two-sided global platform and reputation as one of the most trusted consumer brands in the world are true differentiators. I have been inspired by conversations with Dan, Mark and other members of PayPal's leadership team. I am eager to work alongside the PayPal team to help drive the next phase of growth and enable future generations of global digital payments and commerce."

Kim's appointment marks the most recent addition to PayPal's Executive Leadership Team amongst several key hires this year, including Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen in August and Chief Information Officer Archana (Archie) Deskus in March. Blake joined PayPal from Electronic Arts and has extensive experience driving operational excellence and shareholder value. Previously CIO of Intel, Archie is a highly accomplished technology executive who is working to optimize PayPal's internal technology processes and systems, ensuring PayPal has the most modern, secure, reliable and scalable technology foundation to drive meaningful innovation and serve customers.
