EcoClear Products’ System6® Solution Helps Simplify Commercial and Industrial Cleaning
Despite the waning pandemic, demand for clean homes and public places remains strong. System6® delivers an easy-to-use, all-in-one, affordable solution for businesses.

SARASOTA, Fla. - December 6, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Even with the COVID-19 pandemic waning, demand for cleaners and disinfectants remains strong. Only 31% of consumers say they will clean less when the pandemic ends, according to public market research firm Mintel. And businesses remain heavily invested in cleaning, because people expect places of service, such as restaurants, hotels, and airports to be as clean as their homesEcoClear Products helps businesses deliver those clean public spaces economically with System6®, a single-chemical cleaning system for all environments.

The pandemic drove business owners and decision-makers to educate themselves about cleaners, and as a result, they have become more accepting of novel formulas, but they also want concentrated cleaning solutions to cut waste and shipping costs. System6® delivers on those goals with a novel, environmentally friendly, concentrated solution. 

"System6 has what people are looking for today," said Christopher Stidd, CEO of EcoClear. "It's cost-effective because it's designed to be diluted on-site and doesn't need any fillers or builders. And because you can easily create any of six different blends for different cleaning purposes, you don't need an inventory of multiple chemical cleaning products."

System6® also is free from alkylphenol ethoxylates and is readily biodegradable and requires less mechanical action and dwell time on surfaces. "It's essentially a 'dirt magnet' within liquid that requires no scrubbing when cleaning," Stidd said. 

The System-6® dispenser enables six preset blends to dispense at the touch of a button. It automatically measures, mixes, and dispenses EcoClear's powerful, ready-to-use cleaning solution.

System6® is ideal for any cleaning needs that do not require sanitization, such as:

  • Glass, Resilient Floor & Light Cleaning
  • Multipurpose Cleaning
  • Light Degreasing
  • Fabric & Carpet Pre-treating & Cleaning
  • Stubborn Stain Removing
  • Heavy Duty & Outdoor Cleaning (Concrete Floors)

In addition to streamlining the number of chemicals used to clean a facility, System6® also helps customers maximize the full potential of the product offering. For example, by using the first setting on the wall dispenser, one gallon of System6® can make more than 1,500 32-ounce bottles of window cleaner.

EcoClear continues to expand its offerings of green cleaning and odor-eliminating products for homes and businesses. To learn more about EcoClear's offerings, visit www.ecoclearproducts.com/pro.

nChain Partners With ATMPS Ltd. to Power Their World-Leading Cell and Gene Therapy Platform Hataali

nChain Partners With ATMPS Ltd. to Power Their World-Leading Cell and Gene Therapy Platform Hataali
ZUG, Switzerland - December 6, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

nChain, one of the largest global blockchain solutions companies, today announces its partnership with Hataali, the world-leading cell and gene therapy platform from ATMPS Ltd. The partnership will see nChain's data integrity platform allow Hataali to access the most scalable and secure blockchain unprecedented in the precision medicine space. 

Hataali, is the most advanced, regulatory-compliant, medical data-sharing platform for personalised medicines in the Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products sector. A unique and patented platform which provides the most comprehensive capabilities and functionality.

The Hataali Platform enables all partners in cell and gene therapies, from hospitals, to labs, to clinics and specialized couriers, to communicate and coordinate in real time. The platform is a configurable solution that enables partner organizations in personalised medicine to ensure that data required for optimal patient outcomes can be shared between parties in a secure, confidential, and regulatory-compliant manner using advanced distributed ledger technology. 

Hataali, the winner of the CPHI Pharma Award 2022 and the BioNow Award, is a true end-to-end solution that provides full transparency of the treatment process by keeping an immutable record of the full chain of custody, identity, and condition, demonstrating who is responsible and what has been done at each stage of the process. 

"The instant permissioning, interoperability and analysis of data, securely between healthcare institutions can greatly improve treatment effectiveness and ensure patient safety. There's so much innovation in personalised medicine right now, but the full benefits of those treatments can't be realized if our data infrastructure lags and cannot reach their full potential with our fully digital Hataali platform. Digitisation has become an increasingly important issue for organisations which have become cost conscious and looking for efficiency," said ATMPS Ltd. Founder and CEO Raja Sharif. 

He added, "We are excited to partner with nChain to integrate our platform providing access to their blockchain which we believe offers a best-in-class solution for data integrity which is paramount in healthcare, and even more so when it comes to precision medicine."

Since 2015, nChain has focused on developing solutions and inventions for enterprise blockchain use and satisfying the data management needs of all industries. nChain's data integrity platform provides enterprises and governments access to the benefits of tamper-proof documents, auditable logs, and integrated key management into APIs, allowing organizations to focus on collecting and analyzing data rather than securing it.

"The time has come for us to rethink the approach to patient data utility and security. The rails of the healthcare system deserve as much innovation as the treatments themselves, otherwise, healthcare providers won't be effective in delivering those treatments. We're proud to partner with an organization at the forefront of revolutionizing the administration of cell and gene therapies, and are committed to helping them make a difference in the lives of their patients," commented nChain's CEO Hakan Yuksel. 

About ATMPS

ATMPS Ltd provides patented advanced technical solutions for healthcare companies in the Advanced Therapy Medicines Products sector, including CAR-T treatments, stem cell and gene treatments.

WASHINGTON - December 6, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Today, Central Union Mission accepted hundreds of dry-cleaned suits, shirts, ties and shoes from Advanced Advocacy that were donated by local congressmen, senators, lobbyists and other DC professionals. For six years, Advanced Advocacy has consistently partnered with Central Union Mission to support the rehabilitation of our residents by supplying them with suits as they prepare to enter the workforce.

According to Andrew Kovalcin of Advanced Advocacy, "We're dedicated to making a positive impact in people's lives as they make the journey from homelessness to self-sufficiency. Over the past six years, we have provided over one thousand business suits to eliminate one of the barriers men face when looking for employment. We've witnessed firsthand how equipping an individual with the right clothes can empower them in their transformation and be critical for their personal growth. The continued success of the annual suit drive shows that even a small company, combined with the help and donations of others, can make a big difference in someone's life and in our local community."

Beyond the core services of nutritious food and safe, clean beds, Central Union Mission offers several life-changing programs for men. The Restoration & Transformation Program helps them overcome addictions, reconcile with family, study the Bible and take responsibility for their attitudes and actions. Men can also join the Workforce Development & Education Program, which offers employment readiness training and soft skills, actual hands-on, wage-earning work in a mentored setting and finally, placement in an outside job and independent living situation.

"IFA is a proud partner with Advanced Advocacy to support Central Union Mission and all they are doing to help disadvantaged men in the greater D.C. community enter the workforce," said Rikki Amos, Executive Director of the IFA Foundation. "One suit can go a long way in helping establish confidence and pride, and we thank IFA member ZIPS Cleaners for making this effort possible. Serving the community is central to the work of local franchises, like ZIPS, and we are grateful for the opportunity to further this mission and give back to those around us."

The Passport Index reveals that Despite Conflict in Europe and Global Border Anxieties, 99.5% of the World Experiences Growth in Global Mobility in 2022

The world's passports in your pocket

MONTREAL - December 6, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

The Passport Index has published its latest update today, showing that global mobility is rising, despite the eruption of conflict in Europe and growing tensions over borders. Though the world continues to feel the aftershocks of the pandemic, surprisingly, traveling has never been easier, with steady growth in passport power, a trend that is predicted to continue into 2023. Across these findings, what stands out, in particular, is that the passport of almost every single country around the world became more powerful this year. 

 
Country Change in mobility score (2022)
Malaysia +31
St. Vincent and the Grenadines +31
Guatemala +30
Micronesia +30
Brazil +30
Palau +30
Solomon Islands +29
Brunei +29
Barbados +29
Saint Lucia +29

Table 1: Top 10 changes in mobility score   

 
Country Change in mobility score (2022)
Armenia +6
Tanzania +6
Pakistan +6
Lebanon +5
Burundi +5
Bangladesh +4
Syria +4
Libya +4
Afghanistan +4
Vanuatu -7

Table 2: Bottom 10 changes in mobility score

This may be surprising given the ongoing war in Ukraine in combination with systemic pressures on international supply chains. However, the latest data from the Passport Index indicates strong mobility growth. Whilst the removal of Covid-19 restrictions has certainly played a role, countries around the world have also been keen to reap the economic benefits offered by enabling easy movement around the world. Passport power around the world has increased by an average of 16 points this year, with just one country, Vanuatu, seeing its mobility score fall. This was due to the suspension of their visa waiver scheme with the European Union. The fact the power of their passport has fallen by just seven points despite this indicates strong growth elsewhere.

 
 
 
Individual Passport Power Rank (2022) Country Mobility Score Visa-Free Entry Visa-On-Arrival Visa Required Percentage Visa-Free and Visa-On-Arrival
1 United Arab Emirates 180 121 59 18 91%
2 Germany 173 127 46 25 87%
3 Sweden 173 126 47 25 87%
4 Finland 173 126 47 25 87%
5 Luxembourg 173 126 47 25 87%
6 Spain 173 126 47 25 87%
7 France 173 126 47 25 87%
8 Italy 173 126 47 25 87%
9 Netherlands 173 125 48 25 87%
10 Austria 171 123 48 25 86%

Table 3: 10 most powerful passports (2022)

Not only are passports becoming more powerful, but countries are becoming increasingly open to visa-free arrivals. Prior to the pandemic, the average growth of the World Openness Score was 3.6% a year. After the impact of the pandemic, the score experienced a decline of 65%, falling from 21,360 to 12,944. Since then, growth has rebounded spectacularly, with an average growth rate of 18.8%. At the end of 2022, this score now stands at 21,695; the highest it's ever been. 

The finding of general growth in global mobility does, however, obscure some of the winners and losers this year. The UK falls into this latter category: though it has seen its global mobility score rise again, its year-on-year gains have stagnated relative to other European states, such as France. This trend appears set to continue as the UK struggles to strike the visa agreements achieved by states within the EU. This is largely attributable to the consequences of leaving the common market.

Alongside the rise in passport power around the world, countries, in general, have become more welcoming, with a greater number of countries accepting more passports visa-free, with visa on arrival, or with electronic travel agreement. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Africa, where many countries, especially those in Central and West Africa, have continued to create a travel environment that is accessible to all, no matter the nationality on your passport. The Passport Index's Welcoming Countries Rank shows that 15 of the 23 most welcoming countries in the world are found in Africa, welcoming 198 countries out of 199. 

Hrant Boghossian, Co-founder of the Passport Index, commented that "the rise in passport power that we have seen this year brings great cause for optimism. The world has surpassed the benchmark of 'openness' set prior to the pandemic, and there are strong indicators that this upward trend is here to stay. It is particularly encouraging to see such growth at a time of heightened geopolitical tension and economic turmoil, indicating that countries agree that a world with fewer borders has the potential to address some of the defining challenges of the 21st century."

Redox and Let’s Talk Interactive Partner to Expand Access to Healthcare
Tech firms unite to address inefficiencies in virtual care integration

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - December 6, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Today, Redox, the company setting the stage for composable healthcare, has partnered with Let's Talk Interactive, a technology company that develops virtual care solutions to make healthcare more accessible. Together Let's Talk Interactive (LTI) and Redox are addressing inefficiencies in virtual care and making the EHR/EMR integration experience seamless for healthcare systems.

Virtual care solutions enable healthcare systems to extend access to care, overcoming clinician shortages and burnout, while maintaining continuity of care and improving patient outcomes. However, a key barrier to telehealth deployment for many health systems is the ability to find an efficient path to telehealth implementation. On average, it takes hospitals 23 months to go from identifying the need for digital innovation to scaling that solution to meet the need (AMA). Integrating a new virtual care solution into a health system's current EHR alone can take 3-4 months.

LTI and Redox are addressing these inefficiencies head-on, cutting the virtual care integration time in half to 30 to 60 days. LTI's next-generation enterprise telehealth solution, TrustVideo, leverages Redox's integration expertise with any EHR/EMR system, resulting in the platform's efficient integration with existing workflows of healthcare systems. This enables healthcare systems to integrate virtual care faster than ever before and scale it across the entire system efficiently with no additional cost. 

"Virtual care has seen an unprecedented rise in the past couple of years," explains Redox VP of Product Bryan Dunn. "Patients and clinicians see the value of having virtual experiences composed just for them. At Redox, we're glad to help LTI make that happen at scale."

"We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Redox, a best-in-class partner whose integration expertise is unmatched," said Arthur Cooksey, CEO and Founder of Let's Talk Interactive. "Our collaboration has resulted in one of the most unique telehealth technology platforms on the market that can serve any medical use case. Together, we are serving our mission which is to make healthcare accessible for all people." 

About Redox 
Payers, providers, digital health companies, and other healthcare entities use Redox to produce differentiated experiences for patients and clinicians. Connecting to more than 30,000 healthcare organizations, Redox provides a composable software experience across the healthcare ecosystem. With our single API, product teams are empowered to build whatever they can imagine. Redox accelerates innovations that make healthcare data more useful than ever before.

About Let's Talk Interactive, Inc.

Not many men open up about what it's really like to face cancer - no filters, no pretense. But Trevor Maxwell, a husband and father of two young girls and founder of Man Up to Cancer, is changing that story. 

In March 2018, Maxwell was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer and has since undergone five major surgeries and more than 50 rounds of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. 

In Maxwell's new book, "Open Heart, Warrior Spirit: A Man's Guide to Living with Cancer," he tells the story of one patient's quest to create a 'wolfpack' for men with cancer. The book not only explains why men go into their man caves when facing a cancer diagnosis but provides a roadmap for surviving and thriving through treatment. 

"For men with cancer, there's an old road to travel, and you're supposed to walk alone. Don't show pain. Don't burden others. Don't talk about it," Maxwell said. "The trouble is, isolation during cancer leads to mental health problems and worse medical outcomes. This book offers a new road for men facing cancer where we share the burden, accept help, and give help along the way. It's a wolfpack mentality. We're stronger and smarter as a pack than we are as lone wolves." 

Patrick Dempsey, known worldwide for his iconic television and film roles, met Maxwell in 2019 through the Dempsey Center, which provides counseling, nutrition, exercise, and other services to cancer patients and their families. Dempsey's endorsement appears on the back cover of Maxwell's book. 

"Trevor writes with authenticity, generosity, and heart. For men facing cancer and the people who love them, this book is a game changer," said Patrick Dempsey. 

Maxwell also founded "Man Up to Cancer," a purpose-driven company and support community, with a mission to inspire men to avoid isolation during the cancer journey. Through this community, the hearts of countless men across the country and around the world have been opened, helping them share their fears and burdens so they can find their warrior spirits and better fight their disease. Since its inception, Man Up to Cancer has grown into a thriving international community with a popular podcast and sought-after swag. The testimonials from those who have found Man Up to Cancer speak to the group's effect on their lives. 

"Open Heart, Warrior Spirit: A Man's Guide to Living with Cancer" is currently available through Amazon and can be accessed here

Maxwell resides in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, with his wife and two daughters.
