G Medical Innovations Holdings

G Medical Innovations Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ:GMVD) (the "Company"), a telehealth, medical device, and remote patient monitoring company providing clinical-grade solutions for consumers, medical professionals, and healthcare institutions, today announced plans to open as many as 25 Covid-19 testing centers in California in Q1, 2022. Known for its groundbreaking technology, remote patient monitoring devices and services utilized by hospitals and cardiologists across the country, GMedical’s innovative Prizma monitoring device will be offered direct-to-consumer for the first time at these testing locations, as part of an aggressive company direct-to-consumer strategy. Prizma is a user-friendly cell phone-sized device that can help monitor user’s vital signs, providing to-the-minute readings for ECG, temperature, oxygen saturation, heart rate, stress levels and blood pressure, help track body weight and glucose levels. Data is presented directly to the user and the designated care provider. G Medical’s remote patient monitoring center can alert users to readings that may be a cause for concern. Prizma can also be prescribed by physicians to patients with cardiac or respiratory disease, diabetes and other health issues. With the explosive growth in demand for Covid testing across the country, G Medical expects its new California locations to boost Prizma sales. “By offering Prizma at our Covid19 testing sites we are empowering consumers to measure and monitor their vital signs post testing, in the comfort of their own home,” said G Medical CEO Dr. Yacov Geva. “This unique opportunity to introduce our Prizma device to customers face-to-face at the point of sale is an important step forward in our company’s direct-to-consumer initiative.” Prominent Santa Monica physician Dr. Rand McClain agrees. “G Medical’s Prizma vital sign monitoring device can provide ‘next level’ of care, by empowering patients to measure and record their vital signs daily.” Telehealth services and the use of remote patient monitoring more than doubled from 2018 to 2020, and that growth continues, according to a recent report by the American Medical Association (AMA). Within this industry, G Medical Innovations is well positioned as a next-generation mobile health (mHealth) and e-health company that develops and markets its clinical and consumer medical-grade health monitoring solutions, and offers end-to-end support for e-health projects. With extensive experience in the field of digital health and project management, GMedical Innovations is committed to raising the global level of healthcare by empowering caregivers and patients to better monitor, manage and improve clinical and personal health outcomes.

100 Houstonians in Harris and Ft. Bend Counties Awarded a Total of $1 Million Through Comcast RISE, National Initiative to Support Small Business Owners

Comcast Houston

Comcast today announced the 100 recipients of the Comcast Rise Investment Fund grants. Each small business will receive a one-time $10,000 grant from the fund. More than 100 businesses in the area will also receive technology and marketing resources. The recipients are among nearly 6,700 entrepreneurs nationwide who have been selected through the Comcast RISE program, which provides marketing, technology, and capital support to small business owners. “We are proud of all of our small businesses, the impact they have in Fort Bend County is invaluable. Many of our business owners, particularly our minority owned businesses, have faced unprecedented challenges over the past year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and require a wide range of support to help their businesses survive,” stated Fort Bend County Judge KP George. “The Comcast Rise Investment Fund Grant provides these business owners with the critical financial lifeline and the resources needed so they can sustain and grow their businesses.” Through Comcast RISE, the company also announced it is on track to support 13,000 small businesses by the end of the year with marketing or technology support such as a TV campaign, production of a TV commercial or consulting services from Effectv, the advertising sales division of Comcast Cable, or computer equipment, internet, voice or cybersecurity services from Comcast Business. “Since we launched Comcast RISE a year ago, we have assisted more than 200 small businesses throughout the Houston area with either marketing, technology, or monetary grants. This round of Comcast RISE grants will provide even more small business owners of color with the resources and tools they need to thrive,” said Ralph Martinez, senior vice president for Comcast’s Houston region. “We look forward to empowering their success.” To further build on the program’s success and provide support to even more small businesses, Comcast also announced today a major expansion to eligibility, enabling all women-owned small businesses nationwide to apply. This expansion recognizes and seeks to help address the persistent inequities women continue to face in accessing the resources and funding that are critical to success. Comcast RISE and the Comcast RISE Investment Fund, initially launched as a response to help small businesses owners of color hardest hit by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, continue to focus on uplifting small businesses, ensuring they continue to prosper in an ever-shifting post-pandemic economy. “As we continue to rebuild and emerge from the effects of the pandemic, small businesses will continue to be the backbone of our economy – and we must take every opportunity to help them thrive,” said Dave Watson, President and CEO, Comcast Cable. “Looking forward, this expansion will enable Comcast RISE to further empower and strengthen even more small businesses that are the heart of our local communities across the country.” In the year since its inception, Comcast RISE has awarded more than $11 million in grants and $50 million in in-kind support for marketing and technology services, impacting more than 6,700 entrepreneurs of color in 432 cities across 34 states. By the end of 2022, 13,000 businesses across the country are expected to benefit from the Comcast RISE initiative, either through the grant program or from the resources provided through Effectv and Comcast Business. In addition to the financial and business support services provided, a key part of the program is ensuring the long-term sustainability of businesses. To help address this, Comcast invests in and partners with organizations such as Ureeka to provide ongoing mentorship and resources to help small businesses succeed over the long-term. Comcast RISE, which stands for Representation, Investment, Strength, and Empowerment, is part of Project UP, Comcast’s comprehensive initiative to advance digital equity and help provide underrepresented small business owners with access to the digital tools and funding they need to thrive. Over the next 10 years, Comcast has committed $1 billion to programs and partnerships that will reach an estimated 50 million people with the skills, opportunities, and resources they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world. The program will continue to be open to racially and ethnically diverse small business owners and the expanded Comcast RISE eligibility to all women-owned businesses will be effective on January 16, 2022. More information and the applications to apply for either the grant program or marketing and technology services are available at www.ComcastRISE.com.

ONCOTELIC ANNOUNCES POSITIVE TOPLINE DATA FOR OT-101 C001 COVID STUDY

Oncotelic Therapeutics

Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc. ("Oncotelic" or the "Company") (OTCQB:OTLC), a leading developer of TGF-β therapeutics for oncology and virology, today announced that its COVID-19 trial (“C001”) for OT-101 has successfully met its safety and efficacy endpoints. OT-101 is a first-in-class anti-TGF-β ribonucleic acid (“RNA”) therapeutic that has exhibited single agent activity in relapsed/refractory cancer patients in multiple clinical trials. OT-101 has also demonstrated activity against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the virus that causes COVID-19, and is currently being evaluated in the Company’s C001 clinical trial against hospitalized severe COVID-19 patients. Both tumor cells and SARS-Cov-2 induce TGF-β as part of their immune evasion mechanism. Consequently, inhibiting TGF-β by OT-101 is expected to impact both cancer and COVID. By targeting the host protein, OT-101 is expected to work against multiple respiratory viruses, including related emerging variants, unlike traditional antiviral drugs and vaccines. On October 18, Data lock and Study Data and Analysis Data Models (SDTMs & ADaMS Databases) were generated for a Phase 2 C001 Covid Study: “A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Multi-Center Study of OT-101 in Hospitalized COVID-19 Subjects”. The trial compares OT-101 + Standard of Care (“SOC”) versus Placebo + SOC (N= 32 patients, at 2:1 randomization ratio). SOC includes dexamethasone, the only drug known to improve outcomes in severe cases of COVID-19. The top line data is: Safety endpoints met. OT-101 as a TGF-β inhibitor was safe to administer to COVID-19 patients including severe/critical COVID-19 patients. Efficacy signals were obtained. End of treatment (Day 7) mortality for the entire study population was 4.5% OT-101 versus 20% for placebo. Incidence of >96% viral load knockdown on End of Treatment (Day 7) was 89% for OT-101 versus 67% for placebo. Overall survival improved 3X for critical COVID-19 patients (4 days for placebo versus 14 days for OT-101, p < 0.0166). “It is gratifying that the TGF-β concept that we put forward has now been validated,” said Dr. Vuong Trieu, CEO and Chairman of Oncotelic. “The data form the basis for further development of OT-101 as a viable treatment for severe respiratory viral infections, including flu and COVID-19. We thank the patients and investigators involved, especially Dr. Carbajal of Calle Mariscal Sucre, Chancay, Huaral, Lima, Peru, who drove the study to its conclusion.” “The resulting data clearly suggest a favorable clinical response to OT-101 in the treatment of patients with COVID-19,” noted Dr. Anthony Maida, Chief Clinical Officer – Translational Medicine. “Additionally, we were able to demonstrate that there is no evidence of delivering OT-101 and any effect relating to cytokine release syndrome.” Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc.

ATAP ACTION NETWORK PHYSICIANS & PATIENT ADVOCATES MEET WITH CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES

Alliance for Transparent & Affordable Prescriptions

Today, physician and patient advocates on behalf of the Alliance for Transparent and Affordable Prescriptions (ATAP) Action Network (AN) will meet virtually with congressional lawmakers’ offices as part of its 2021 Capitol Hill Day. In these meetings, ATAP member organizations are advocating for lowering prescription drug prices for their patients by bringing accountability to the pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) industry. ATAP is an active advocate for patients in federal and state battles to amplify the voices of patients and physicians – especially as it relates to exposing PBM abuses and the impact on access to therapies (medications) needed for the treatment of patients. In the meetings today, ATAP AN will speak to congressional offices about three pieces of legislation, including: the PBM Accountability Study Act (H.R. 1829/S. 298), the Drug Price Transparency Act (S. 1523), and the Prescription Pricing for the People Act (S. 1388). “We are proud to bring policymakers the voices of patients and providers, two groups grossly underrepresented in the drug pricing debate’” said Dr. Robert Levin, the President of ATAP. “These voices from our members, combined with supporting advocacy organizations, and individuals fearing drug cost affordability, will surely inspire national leaders to take action to fix problems created by the PBM industry.” ATAP AN will meet with congressional member offices from Florida, Wisconsin, New York, Virginia, North Carolina, Missouri, Maryland, and California. Michael Schweitz, President of ATAP Action Network and Member of the Florida Society of Rheumatology, stated, “Officials in Washington understand that our members, those on the front lines of medical care, offer a valuable perspective. We see the struggles and confusion that patients are put through by this completely unnecessary middleman industry. We appreciate to opportunity to share these experiences and help more legislators see the light – and shine it on the PBMs.” Several ATAP member organizations are participating in meetings including, the American College of Rheumatology, the Coalition of State Rheumatology Organizations, Lupus and Allied Diseases Association, Inc., and many others. Kathleen A. Arntsen President & CEO of Lupus and Allied Diseases Association, (an ATAP member organization) stated, "As a patient-led organization representing those facing serious health conditions, we have direct experience with the frustration in struggling to access affordable and appropriate treatments due to PBM interference. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to share this information with elected officials and are hopeful that they will stand with patients and support fair drug pricing legislation that holds the PBM industry accountable." “PBMs generate significant profits while patients struggle to afford the cost of care,” said Steven Newmark, Director of Policy at the Global Healthy Living Foundation (an ATAP member organization). “We will show elected officials and policymakers what is really happening in exam rooms, and the stress patients experience due to PBM interference. There is a better way.” Updates from the meetings will be shared at https://atapadvocates.com/ and on Twitter with the hashtag, #ATAPHillDay21. About ATAP ATAP was created in 2017 with a mission to address prescription drugs costs and patient access to affordable treatment by regulating PBM practices and reforming the drug industry through educational outreach and grassroots advocacy initiatives at both the state and federal levels. Driven by the reality that many patients struggle to afford their medications, the physician and patient advocacy organizations joined to shine a light on the abusive practices of PBMs. ### To schedule an interview with an ATAP spokesperson please contact Dan Rene of kglobal at 202-329-8357.

New Options to Treat Alcohol Use Disorder

YourUpdateTV

Nearly 15 million Americans have alcohol use disorder and 75 million engaged in binge drinking or heavy alcohol use in the month before a survey conducted by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. This problem has not been solved…yet. Hope for a solution is one of the big stories coming out of the Wonderland Conference, the largest psychedelic business event, ever. YourUpdateTV spoke with Awakn Life Sciences CEO, Anthony Tennyson who discussed the problem. “Alcohol addiction is a chronic disease effecting many millions of Americans each year. The success rates for treatments are typically quite low though. Three out of four people are back drinking alcohol within 12 months of seeking treatment. There is, however, a new hope.

Connecticut chooses BioTrack as the state's cannabis seed-to-sale tracking software

Forian

Forian Inc. (NASDAQ: FORA), a provider of technology, analytics and data science driven solutions for the healthcare and cannabis industries, announced that Connecticut has chosen BioTrack as the track and trace system for the state’s Department of Consumer Protection Drug Control Division. The state plans to use the BioTrack inventory tracking system to monitor the movement of cannabis products in the state’s medical and adult-use cannabis markets, while providing a real-time inventory of cannabis products available in the state and preventing unlawful diversion of products. The BioTrack software, commonly referred to as seed-to-sale tracking, will track cannabis from when it is first planted as a seed to the point of sale to the consumer. All licensed medical marijuana and adult-use cannabis establishments will be required to participate in the tracking system and log the movement of cannabis as it is grown, manufactured into other products, packaged, tested, and sold to qualifying patients or consumers. BioTrack’s state traceability system will also help recall cannabis plants and products deemed as unsafe/adulterated, and prevent adulterated and regulated materials from reaching the black market. “Connecticut has shown their desire to be at the forefront of cannabis by looking for best-in-class software solutions. We are very excited to work with the state to develop new technologies to support their cannabis-related initiatives,” said Moe Afaneh, VP of BioTrack. BioTrack’s point-of-sale software is used by customers in 38 states and 10 countries, while 10 state governments, including Connecticut, currently use BioTrack's patient portal and traceability system.
