Startup by Silicon Valley Nobel Protege Invents Compact Home Device with Blockchain Technology Capable of Detecting Coronavirus

SAN JOSE, CA, Mar 21, 2020 – (ACN Newswire) – Silicon Valley entrepreneur and Nobel Laureate Protege Dr. Ned Saleh announced today that the compact blood-testing device invented by his startup Synsal Inc. could have detected the Coronavirus outbreak and saved lives had it been deployed in the mass market. Saleh stated Synsal's technology has been verified on a similar infectious pathogen using a method called Reverse-Transcription Loop-mediated isothermal AMPlifications or RT-LAMP.

The new programmable technology — comparable in cost to a cell phone — is an innovative compact device that detects a wide range of wellness panels and human relevant biomarkers from a few drops of blood or bodily fluids. When deployed within a decentralized data-sharing network, the device can detect emerging outbreaks like the COVID-19, "for as little as $20 per test at high volume", Saleh indicated.

This technology is designed as a comprehensive quantified wellness solution and can also detect infectious outbreaks. "If you can measure it, you can improve it," Saleh said. "Powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics, our device generates actionable data that engages users in an innovative rapid behavior changing process encompassing gamification and reward, it is truly Medicine 2.0 " he added. Saleh confirmed Synsal has a global presence and engaged with partners to roll out this technology worldwide including in China. The value of the exclusively user-owned and cryptographically secure data generated in Synsal's blockchain network positions the device to pay back its cost of ownership, and generate personal revenue from this new class of digital assets.

Synsal is developing an interoperable decentralized quantified wellness network on emerging blockchain platforms like BurstIQ and Harmony. Saleh stated, "this is a horizontally disruptive technology designed to bring the blockchain to every household and accelerate its adoption similar to the way email brought the internet to every household. This could shift the economic burden of healthcare cost from treatment to prevention in a global market worth over 2 Trillion dollars ($2T). Our network's quantified data sets us up to create proprietary models critical to smart epidemiological mapping and early detection, which given the rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, holds potential to save lives. This extends to future inevitable outbreaks."

Saleh added, "On the financial front, our data becomes particularly relevant in today's global algorithmic trading markets. We have the capability to pre-create financial risk models to feed in data from our proprietary network to create risk assessment reports that can be shared with financial market analysts and decision makers in real-time, thus avoiding massive market sell-offs and possible recession."

Saleh started developing this technology as a graduate student at the University of Michigan in the nation's most prestigious program in nuclear engineering. He calls it "micro-plasma" and confirmed it does not occur naturally. Saleh co-built a micro-plasma laser-based machine cited in the Guinness Book of World Records which helped, in part, land his advisor Gerard Mourou the 2018 Physics Nobel Prize. Saleh declared he developed a compact next generation of this technology, now used by Synsal, based on "Van Allen electron beam micro-plasma."

Saleh, who worked at top Silicon Valley micro-electronics companies including Intel, IBM and KLA, became fascinated by miniaturization of devices and later invented a miniaturized microfluidics test lab. "Unlike past attempts to mainstream micro-sampled human diagnostics — which lacked scientific rigor and transparency — ours has been validated, and eventually will be judged by the global base of users who will adopt this technology and monetize the valuable data it generates."

When asked why Synsal technology has unique positioning and world-changing potential, Saleh said "We believe our technology has an absolute insurmountable differential advantage. We state this confidently based on borrowed knowledge from Moore's Law in the semiconductor industry. We have transformed the principles of selective patterning into microfluidics and assay preparation, and as such set the theoretical limit on progressive densification of surface functionality, which we think is superior until competitive technologies prove otherwise."

Brigitte Piniewski, M.D. is a primary care physician, researcher, author and digital health start-up advisor including Synsal. Dr. Piniewski stated that the community strongly needs a personally relevant biomarker testing service which cannot be provided through traditional healthcare. "When open access to stand-alone, biomarker testing becomes the norm, human health intelligence will advance in leaps and bounds. In parallel, the Synsal blockchain-based record management solution provides a data-as-financial-asset service laying the foundation for the human-centric societies of tomorrow."

Kapil Amarasinghe is a British medical doctor, blockchain promoter and influencer. His daily practice in emergency-room medicine puts him at the forefront of immediate critical medical decision-making. Dr. Amarasinghe believes the Synsal technology provides powerful predictive value from AI and analytics that helps understand broad wellness trends, an urgent and unmet need today from the large but siloed clinical databases. [linkedin.com/in/kapil-amarasinghe-97a71965/]

Yev Muchnik is a technology attorney, influencer and thought leader in the blockchain space. She works with emerging growth companies across various industries incorporating blockchain technology and was recently on the Blockchain Advisory Group to the Colorado Department of Agriculture. She too is a Synsal advisor and believes a provenance for capturing quantified self-data is critical in today's world of data manipulation and critical need for ethical data governance. "Synsal's model is very promising in bringing back ownership of data to their originators, especially in the wellness and health domain, thanks to the capability of blockchain technology." [linkedin.com/in/yevmuchnik/]

Synsal is partnering with Harmony (https://harmony.one/), a fast and secure blockchain company whose mission is to scale trust for billions of people, in order to build and scale the Synsal health data monetization platform. Stephen Tse, the Founder & CEO of Harmony and a serial entrepreneur from Silicon Valley, stated "We are building Harmony as the infrastructure layer for applications with global reach and are excited to work with Synsal to help everyone secure their personal health data."

Radiologex Partners with Trusona to Bolster User Auth Security for Innovative Healthcare Industry Software

IRVINE, CA, Mar 12, 2020 – (ACN Newswire) – Radiologex announced this week that it has partnered with Trusona, the pioneering leader of passwordless authentication, for its new all-inclusive software for medical doctors, healthcare professionals and healthcare companies. Radiologex(R) or RDEE for short, pronounced [AR-Dee], is the world's first and only one-stop software ecosystem exclusively for the healthcare industry, powered by blockchain technology, and now protected by the highest level of security. The Radiologex product is especially relevant in light of the current novel coronavirus crisis and other health emergencies where the speed, efficiency and confidentiality of communications and data transmission is paramount.

Radiologex is a real-time productivity, collaboration and information resource available via portable device-based app or via the Web. Its advanced user-authentication technology and builtin KYC (Know Your Customer) now includes a state of the art usernameless and passwordless authentication option that was developed by Trusona, the world leader in the field that holds some of the largest financial services and health care companies as clients.

"Compromised credentials are responsible for over 80 percent of breaches. Trusona's mission is to thwart cybercrime by eliminating static credentials from the user experience," said Ori Eisen, Founder and CEO at Trusona. "Radiologex has set the bar high for security within its product and we have integrated our stringent cutting-edge safeguards into their software engine."

"The recent appearance of novel coronavirus, and the very real possibility of a pandemic, is illuminating the need for a one stop instant communications platform dedicated for the healthcare industry, that is also equipped with a full suite of relevant services and productivity enhancing tools, allowing healthcare professionals to carry out various tasks in the most efficient manner when timing is critical. Yet in providing such services, Radiologex does not want to sacrifice security. Secure and safe transmission of information will always remain a top priority for Radiologex," said John Kiyo Smith, CEO, Radiologex.

"Trusona is the only company anywhere in the world that can provide technological solutions that meet our strict standards for security. We are confident our partnership with Trusona will serve to foster trust and peace of mind among Radiologex customers, and is a natural fit with our game changing platform."

Radiologex is the industry's first and only Web 3.0 solution, encompassing productivity tools; clinical information systems; medical imaging processing and storage; entire payment settlement and lending/finance systems; medical supplies, devices and equipment sales and repair services; content on demand; and a dedicated online community. The Radiologex team is comprised of experienced professionals with diverse backgrounds including medical physicians, healthcare service providers (e.g. radiology), and information systems and software developers with blockchain and distributed ledger technology expertise.

"The healthcare industry is highly vulnerable to security breaches and transactional bottlenecks, negatively affecting patient care, including critical care logistics, from start to finish. Radiologex solves for all of that in one easy-to-use platform with safety and speed built in as the vanguard, and partnering with Trusona only serves to enhance these capabilities," says Radiologex Co-founder, George Tyler.

"I headed a study with our team to uncover the primary pain-points experienced by the healthcare industry associated with the SARS epidemic of 2002, which is a scaled-down version of what we are currently experiencing with this COVID-19 event. The primary pain-point we discovered was the unavailability of a streamlined and dedicated communications platform among healthcare providers, which substantially hindered their ability to determine optimal courses of action in a time efficient manner. There was a dearth of communication amongst healthcare providers, large and small, including all levels of government, that was highly uncoordinated, leading to misinformation and contradictory information being disseminated to the public.

"RDEE's messenger module solves for this by offering the only available real-time, dual end encrypted, user KYC'd solution for the entire healthcare industry and even governments, with Trusona technology serving as the gateway for seamless yet ultra-secure access from anywhere. Healthcare professionals will no longer be required to physically be at their respective organizations or login via a cumbersome VPN process on their laptops to establish a wide-ranging communications channel with their colleagues. With Radiologex and Trusona technology, they can now establish unlimited communications channels instantly, from any portable device or web portal, from anywhere in the world, all without remembering a username or password. It will literally be that easy.

"The second major pain-point we discovered was the unfortunate price-gouging of prized medical goods, services, and products essential to containment, which would be subdued by RDEE's Marketplace and Service-on-Demand modules, providing real time global verified product and vendor authenticity, as well as instant, borderless, transactional capacity that can get these goods and services where they need to be with never-before-seen efficiency and swiftness, thanks in no small-part to secure ease of access facilitated by Trusona," added George Tyler.

Trusona (www.trusona.com), founded in 2015 by cybersecurity expert Ori Eisen, is the pioneer and world leader in passwordless authentication. Over 200 organizations, including some of the world's largest financial services and health care companies, rely on Trusona's solutions.

Radiologex (www.radiologex.com) technology is utility patent-pending, tested and certified by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology of the U.S. Department of Human and Health Services. The platform is available worldwide with free to use capacities for all users in April 2020.

SINGAPORE, Feb 28, 2020 – (ACN Newswire) – While many companies seem to be in a race to release the "next big thing" in AI, blockchain and other technologies, the reality is what's available now is hardly being used to its fullest potential.

Following US$11.7M Series-A Funding, RegTech Firm Tookitaki Appoints Industry Veteran as Advisor to Strengthen Its Presence in The U.S. And Asia-Pacific Region as Part of Expansion Plan

Colorado, USA, Feb 26, 2020 – (ACN Newswire) – Tookitaki Holding Pte. Ltd. (Tookitaki), a global next-generation regulatory technology company with solutions in Financial Crime, announced today that it has appointed industry veteran Joe Friscia, former President of NICE Actimize and BAE Systems as Advisor to the Company's Advisory Board. Joe brings over 25 years' extensive experience in the financial crime and enterprise software domains having handled roles of global scale. Joe will be helping Tookitaki scale its operations in the U.S., as well as advise around strategic inroads into the company's Asia-Pacific presence.

Abhishek Chatterjee, CEO and co-founder of Tookitaki shared, "Tookitaki is absolutely delighted to welcome Joe as part of the family. Our vision has always been to revolutionize regulatory compliance and ensure sustainable compliance programs for every financial institution in the world. With Joe at the helm, we are better placed to deliver on this vision by growing our presence significantly across the U.S. and the Asia-Pacific region."

Tookitaki was founded by Mr Abhishek Chatterjee, its CEO, and Ms Jeeta Bandopadhyay, its COO. Abhishek, who was formerly employed at JP Morgan, observed the 2008 financial crisis first-hand and noted that regulators were stricter about financial checks and balances in a bid to maintain financial stability. Tookitaki was formed from this need to provide sustainable compliance programs in the banking and financial services industry (BFS), using solutions powered by machine learning, Big Data analytics, and distributed data-parallel architecture. The company strives to drive its proprietary technological innovation to help fuel its ongoing fight against money laundering and reconciliation issues.

Ensuring regulatory compliance can be expensive for financial services companies, with the average cost nearly doubled from US$16 million to US$30.9 million between 2011 and 2017 according to a survey. Meanwhile in 2017, over 900 agencies together issued over 200 regulatory updates each day, on average.

"As modern-day criminals thrive with the aid of new and advanced methods of conducting financial crimes, machine learning-based technology is rapidly gaining traction in helping future-proof and thwart these evolving threats. For this reason, I am both proud and excited to be part of the Tookitaki team and helping them make Sustainable Compliance a reality." commented Joe Friscia.

With his deep wealth of experience in the financial crime space, Joe's presence will be invaluable in building business momentum and driving growth for Tookitaki as it looks to expand its offerings around financial crime use cases. He will contribute to Tookitaki's strength in business and go-to-market strategy to help position Tookitaki as the leading RegTech company that helps banks detect sophisticated money laundering patterns with best-in-class enterprise software solutions.

Joe joins the current board that includes former CEO of online mortgage broker LendingTree, Tom Reddin and ex-Managing Partner of McKinsey & Company, Inc., Shailesh Kekre. With the guidance of strategic advisors, Tookitaki is better positioned to deliver its vision in revolutionizing regulatory compliance and ensure sustainable compliance programs for financial institutions globally.

Tookitaki is a pioneer in launching explainable machine learning models in the compliance space and validating the same with global banks and reputed third-party consultants. It recently filed a patent on explainable AI and machine learning framework and models to bring transparency into the validation process and output interpretability by banking customers and regulators. Tookitaki's recent Series A round was co-led by Viola Fintech and SIG, followed by Nomura Holdings through its venture capital arm Nomura Incubation Investment Limited Partnership. Other investors include Illuminate Financial, Jungle Ventures and SEEDs Capital, an investment arm of the Singapore government. Its strategic fundraise, complemented with Joe's appointment, positions the company well to help banking and financial institutions stay "regulator ready", particularly in the face of rising financial crime complexities.
