Today’s podcast overview/transcript:

Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com "Potcast" featuring cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

In today’s podcast we look at a few public announcements from earlier this week.

BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (CSE:BEV) (OTCQB:BVNNF) announced the debut of its latest cannabis-infused beverage brand, Jase™.

Created with an appealing pomegranate lemonade flavour, Jase will be available for sale in licensed dispensaries in California this year. Jase will be offered in a ready-to-mix single-serve powder, infused with 10 mg of THC, and available in 10-pouch box.

The Jase brand distinctly evokes "California Cool" - the endless summer sun combined with a vibrant hedonism. The mood is upbeat. The style, bold. The attitude, confident.  Coined from "ganja", the Sanskrit word for hemp or cannabis, and the word "base", Jase suggests a brand that is approachable, upbeat and bold.

"When conducting our North-America wide consumer study, it was quickly apparent that lemonade was seen as one of most popular flavours," said John Campbell, Chief Strategy Officer at BevCanna. "We were inspired by the idea of creating a vibrant, bold lemonade beverage that consumers could enjoy on sociable occasions, and we liked the idea of it being easily portable. Consumers can add the powder to their choice of still or sparking waters to create a personalized experience."

Developed in response to BevCanna's extensive North American-wide consumer study, which focused on product and consumption preferences within the cannabis-infused beverage market, Jase joins BevCanna's roster of recently released ready to drink brands, including the Anarchist Mountain Beverages™ line of botanical-flavoured sparkling beverages and the Grüv Beverages™ line of iced teas.

THC BioMed Intl Ltd. (CSE: THC)(OTC: THCBF) announced that its new cannabis beverage, THC Kiss, will be available for sale to Medical Patients this week. THC BioMed expects to begin its rollout of THC Kiss to the recreational market over the next few weeks.

THC KISS is a brand new cannabis beverage that is unlike those currently available in either the grey or legal cannabis markets. THC Kiss was developed by THC BioMed using proprietary extraction methods invented by THC BioMed.

"We remain a true cannabis company. We are passionate about cannabis and apply a deep understanding of it in our operations. Our operational procedures have proven successful and we have demonstrated that we have the ability to scale at low cost while producing the finest quality cannabis at a very reasonable cost to the end consumer," said John Miller, President & CEO of THC BioMed. "The launch of this product is an important milestone for the Company. We continue to fully focus on sustained growth and profitability as we aggressively increase our market share."

THC Kiss will sell at compassionate pricing for registered medical patients at $4.20 per 30ml beverage containing 10 mg of THC.

Fire & Flower Holdings Corp. (TSX: FAF) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Fire & Flower Inc., announced that its stores in Ottawa and Kingston, Ontario will offer online ordering and payment, curbside pickup and home delivery for cannabis products through the Spark Fastlane™ service available through Spark Perks™.

Fire & Flower's Ottawa and Kingston locations will re-open using the Fastlane service on April 9, 2020 for online orders that may be picked up using the curbside service to ensure the health and safety of our customers and team members. The Company anticipates free home delivery services to be available at its earliest opportunity. Details on the free home delivery service will be available on the Fire & Flower website at www.fireandflower.com.

On April 7, 2020, the province of Ontario announced that an emergency order was approved by the provincial cabinet that allows cannabis retail stores to safely operate through online, curbside pickup and home delivery services, for the duration of the government's emergency order on business closures in relation to COVID-19.

In anticipation of this potential announcement, the Fire & Flower and Hifyre™ teams have been working to build operating procedures and technology that serves customers through online payment, curbside pickup and home delivery services. Earlier this week, the Company announced these programs were launched in the province of Saskatchewan and are successfully being used by consumers in that market. The launch of these programs in the province of Saskatchewan enables Fire & Flower to rapidly deploy in the province of Ontario and other jurisdictions that may allow for curbside pickup and home delivery.

"Fire & Flower congratulates the province of Ontario and in particular, Premier Doug Ford and Attorney General Doug Downey for their leadership in taking this significant step to allow for home delivery by private cannabis retailers. These actions are critical to ensure that residents of Ontario have access to safe, legal cannabis in ways that protect public health. This is a very positive step in the continued elimination of the illegal, unregulated market which poses an additional threat to public health during this pandemic," shared Trevor Fencott, Chief Executive Officer of Fire & Flower. "The ability of the Fire & Flower operations and Hifyre digital teams to rapidly respond demonstrates the resiliency of both our people and our business systems. We are grateful for the opportunity to do our part and demonstrate how private retail can provide best-in-class home delivery services in a safe and responsible manner to cannabis consumers."

Fire & Flower has a distinct competitive advantage as online ordering, curbside pickup and delivery become available through its ability to communicate with more than 90,000 members in the Spark Perks program. The Spark Perks program provides a robust channel to communicate with consumers, understand their needs and preferences and drive consumer traffic digitally.

Valens GroWorks Corp. (TSXV: VLNS) (OTCQX: VLNCF) announced that it will begin production of hand sanitizer liquid with an initial 1,300 litre-batch at its Kelowna facility to help alleviate product supply shortages as a result of the COVID-19 health crisis. 

The Valens Company will bottle and donate 40,000 bottles of hand sanitizer in various formats to frontline health care workers across Canada. The Company is focusing on British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario for distribution, as well as providing 10,000 units to Shoppers Drug Mart to aid their public-facing workers at pharmacies across Canada. Simultaneously, the company is working with hospital networks, all essential services and various associations servicing the vulnerable, to distribute supplies to those who need it most.

Valens has also donated significant quantities of various personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, gowns, and sanitizing wipes from the Company's existing supply. The Company is also expecting a second shipment of PPE gear, including masks, which will also be donated to healthcare workers.

"We at The Valens Company recognize the urgency in assisting our communities across the country during this critical phase of the COVID-19 pandemic," said Tyler Robson, CEO, The Valens Company. "We consider it our corporate responsibility to leverage our existing extraction and production capabilities to distribute products that have the potential to fight the transmission of this virus. We are quickly mobilizing our teams and resources to alleviate essential supply shortages and contribute as much as we can to those selflessly helping on the frontlines."

Relevium Technologies Inc. (TSXV:RLV) (OTC:RLLVF) announced that it has secured the natural product number (“NPN”) for the Canadian market and is ready to launch the product for Canadian customers.

Relevium is leveraging product formulation and manufacturing expertise of its integrated supply chain in Montreal to commercialize the newly announced Bioganix® CleanCare hand sanitizers that effectively kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria. The Company, through its local manufacturing partner, has secured Health Canada Natural Product Number (“NPN number”) and will begin accepting pre-sale orders on a first-come, first-served basis.

“In conjunction with our manufacturing partners, we are very pleased to have the opportunity to introduce Bioganix® trusted products into the Canadian market,” stated Aurelio Useche, CEO of Relevium. “Given the recent tensions between Canada and the US due to the scarcity of supply of essential COVID-19 infection prevention products and in order to support local businesses, we have decided to manufacture locally for each market. Our products will be offered initially online, with plans to offer as well through specialty retail brands,” added Mr. Useche as he commented on the Company’s distribution strategy.

The #AIEye #Podcast: GBT Technologies’ (OTC PINK: $GTCH) qTerm Adds #AI to Human Vital Signs Device; CTO Discusses New AI #MedicalTechnology

  

The #AIEye #Podcast: GBT Technologies’ (OTC PINK: $GTCH) qTerm Adds #AI to Human Vital Signs Device; CTO Discusses New AI #MedicalTechnology

Point Roberts WA, Vancouver BC – April 8, 2020  – Investorideas.com (www.investorideas.com), a global investor news source covering Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings you a special edition of the The AI Eye, looking at advancements in artificial intelligence, featuring an exclusive interview with GBT Technologies Inc. (OTC PINK:GTCH) discussing the conception , design and development of its new AI medical technology.

GBT Technologies Inc.'s (OTC PINK:GTCH) intelligent human vital signs device qTerm is distinguished by its AI-powered features, according to company CTO, Danny Rittman.

qTerm measures a user’s vital signs and reports them to the user. The device is the result of a joint venture between GBT and Tokenize-It, S.A., called GBT Tokenize Corp. A recent press release announced that development of the device has begun.

The device, according to Rittman is, “Conceptually, as it is in design stage, is a combination of hardware and embedded software, making it capable of taking, on the fly and in a matter of seconds, body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure. And in the future we’ll probably add blood-oxygen level,” he said. But what separates qTerm from similar devices is its inclusion of AI.

“It’s going to incorporate not just the electronics of the measuring sensors, but an artificial intelligence unit that is going to collect the data and basically keep it per customer, per user – of course with the user’s permission – [and] save it in a central, secure database,” Rittman said. “It’s not just another measuring device, it’s an intelligent device that’s going to incorporate a whole database per user per human body vitals.”

This capability yields a “thermal map” that identifies “HOT SPOTS” – areas of users with higher-than-normal temperatures – which users can then avoid so as to reduce risk of illness. Think of it as “WAZE of the MEDICAL MAP” – based on user in the area it can indicate a potential problem.

“Upon, of course, the user’s permission, and without recording names or privacy invasion … the device will record the user’s geographical spot with [their] temperature,” he said. “That means that a higher temperature than normal is recorded [and] it will accumulate in a broad map…”

Also indicated in the press release, is that the company intends to create both a mobile and standalone version of the device. Highlighting its planned intuitive and user-friendly nature, Rittman said the mobile version:

“…looks like a little button and sticks to the back of your cell phone. It has a little touch button, you touch it and hold your finger there between five and ten seconds, and in this time it is activated, takes your body vitals (temperature, heart rate, blood pressure), transmits it to your phone via Bluetooth device and you can see the results on your phone.”

The development of qTerm also reflects some of the major trends observed in telemedicine – the remote diagnosis and treatment of patients by means of telecommunications technology. An article from the site Medical Alert Advice notes the tendency in the space toward better mobile tech and apps to further proliferate access to healthcare. While not an app, qTerm’s mobility lends itself to this trend in its mobility.

In a sense, telemedicine is following the trend of all technological advancements of recent years -providing a service that patients can access in the palm of their hands.

One of the key elements in making telemedicine technologies work is greater access to information and data. This trend can be observed in qTerm, given the ease with which it can measure and record such data (“touch it and hold your finger there between five and ten seconds”).

qTerm’s development is also notable for its potential concurrence with the COVID-19 pandemic. IBM (NYSE:IBM), a veteran in the field, recently announced that it is making its AI-powered “Watson Assistant for Citizens” freely available for 90 days in an effort to spread information and awareness about the virus. For its part, Watson Assistant for Citizens leverages AI search capabilities to advance critical information to citizens.

With restrictions on businesses and social gatherings increasing as governments scramble to slow the spread of COVID-19, a product like qTerm could be potentially  in the future invaluable with its application in identifying high risk areas.

“We believe that this type of product can really assist, especially in the world health crisis that’s going on,” Rittman said. “Giving and providing hotspots worldwide can help fight this pandemic.”

Today’s podcast overview/transcript:

Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com "Potcast" featuring cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

In today’s podcast Investorideas interviews Anthony Charles, the Co-Founder of Oakum Cannabis Corp., a privately-owned and operated, licensed producer of cannabis products based in Kelowna, British Columbia, where we discussed what separates Oakum from some of its competitors when it comes to its facility and grow techniques as well as how the company has maintained operations through the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Anthony, like many Cannabis Entrepreneurs in the industry today, did not start with a Cannabis background but instead was a machinist who eventually developed a love for growing cannabis through personal experiences. Anthony and his family later thought to turn this passion into a business back around 2013 but due to difficulties with government and lack of investors it took until 2018 to establish a site and begin construction.

Anthony and the Oakum team personally designed their facility from scratch, which I was lucky enough to receive a tour of, and from security to water treatment to their roto grow machines the facility goes above and beyond to be state of the art.

Anthony went on to discuss how their high tech facility came about saying, “To grow under compliance with Health Canada can sometimes be a bit tricky. You want to be compliant and do the best job you can, but because of certain rules you have to follow, which we’re glad to follow, makes you have to sort of think outside the box on what you can do to optimize your facility and stay in compliance. One of the main areas we found was overhead. By the time you’ve put in all of these auxiliary rooms and you put an extraction lab in the facility like we have, in a 10,000 square foot facility it doesn’t give you as much space to grow as you might like. So we decided as opposed to just looking at the square footage of our building, since we had height in our building, we went vertical with it so that was one of our reasons to choose Roto Grow, so we could produce more product in a smaller space and in a more controlled environment. We go two machines high and we get twice as much canopy space in a room as opposed to traditional growing. From there we have all these machines that are automated but you’ve got to water them so we went ahead and brought in a whole fertigation unit that is from a subsidiary of RotoGrow and we are the first ones in Canada to have this specific fertigation unit. All of our water comes in municipal, then we heavily filter it, carbon filter it, UV filter it, test it and then mix it through our machine and add the nutrients which you write the recipe that tracks everything for you. Then we send it off to the rooms and since it's a flood and drain style system we can see day to day what’s happening at our root zone. This allows us to focus our attention away from the physical mixing and measuring nutrients and focus more time on what changes you may want to make to your environment and investigating plants and perfecting our craft here.”

This system of growing also gives the Oakum team access to a large series of data sets regarding their grow techniques when it comes to nutrient and water levels on an hour by hour basis which allows them a large deal of control over their plants.

Oakum products may not be out on the market yet but Anthony and his team have a very specific concept for the Oakum brand and are expecting to receive their sales license within the next few months.

Mr. Charles went on to discuss the company’s unique extraction techniques in more detail, how the COVID-19 Pandemic has affected their business as well as the future of Oakum and their products.
