Arteric Develops Website Centerpiece of Award-Winning Psoriasis Patient Activation Campaign

Summit, NJ, August 21, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Arteric (http://arteric.com), a digital healthcare marketing agency that fuses exceptional software development skill with healthcare marketing expertise to help brands connect patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals with the health information and tools that patients need to live longer, healthier lives proudly announces that the patient activation campaign Rise Up Against Psoriasis won a coveted Golden Scalpel award. In collaboration with McCann Health London and McCann Wien, Arteric developed and implemented the campaign’s website centerpiece (riseagainstpsoriasis.com/de) for Celgene Österreich (Celgene Austria). The strategic process behind this award-winning collaboration is described in detail at arteric.com.

Presented by Pharma Marketing Club Austria, the Golden Scalpel awards represent best-in-class pharmaceutical advertising in Austria. Two juries of industry experts - one with general marketing expertise and the other with digital marketing expertise - selected award recipients. Rise Up Against Psoriasis received a Golden Scalpel in the category Digital Media non-RX/non-OTC.

Psoriasis poses risks that go far beyond skin lesions. Research findings point to an increased risk of depression, anxiety, and risk of suicide in people with psoriasis. [1] The Rise Up Against Psoriasis campaign was developed to activate patients who had disengaged from the healthcare system.

The website accomplishes this through 4 tactics:

1. A short movie follows 3 people through their daily struggles to help psoriasis sufferers recognize that they are not alone.
2. A quiz helps psoriasis sufferers quantify the impact of the disease on their daily lives.
3. A physician finder connects psoriasis sufferers to local dermatologists.
4. A discussion guide creates the foundation for a successful conversation with the physician.

These tactics are delivered through a beautifully designed responsive website that is instrumented to track engagement and provide insights about visitors, to guide future campaign development.

Arteric’s president, Hans Kaspersetz, explains, “Rise Up Against Psoriasis has been successful because it authentically speaks to the psoriasis sufferer’s daily struggles with the disease - it calls out to all those directly and indirectly affected by psoriasis, sending the essential message that help is available. The website invites site visitors to complete the Dermatology Life Quality Index survey to assess the impact of psoriasis on their quality of life, helping to build context for a conversation with their doctor."[2]

Mr. Kaspersetz continues, “Arteric has a robust global digital marketing practice with clients in North America, the EU, Asia, and Australia. For more than a decade, we’ve created websites and digital campaigns for audiences all over the world. Our team has delivered digital assets in 28 languages in 35 markets. We’re especially pleased to create locally recognized best-in-class work with international partners like McCann Health London.”

Jonathan Kukathasan, General Manager of McCann Health London, concurs. “While developing the Rise Up Against Psoriasis campaign, we worked alongside key partners to ensure it was a success. As the creative agency, we enjoyed working with Arteric, which played a critical role. It was great working alongside them to create this campaign and we look forward to working with them in the future.”

Mr. Kaspersetz summarizes the effort this way. "The award validates the years of effort we’ve invested in understanding global needs and local markets. Whether in the US or in Austria, our goal is to connect people with the health information and resources they need to live longer, healthier lives."

For two decades, Arteric has worked directly with healthcare clients and partnered seamlessly with their service providers to develop award-winning websites, mobile apps, and Web applications that work everywhere and every time to help brands win. Contact Hans Kaspersetz at 201.558.9910 to put Arteric’s digital marketing expertise to work for your brand.

DigitalContent.com (DCNT) Launches Pre-ICO Campaign

$

0

Detroit, MI, August 21, 2017 --(PR.com)-- The much anticipated pre-ICO for DigitalContent.com will kick off today at 4:00pm EST, and will last five days, closing on Friday August 25. During the pre-ICO, a total of 10 million of the 100 million tokens will be made available for sale. This will be followed by the main ICO in October or November of this year where an additional 35 million DCNT tokens will be sold.

DigitalContent (DCNT) is developing a revolutionary new platform for content creators to create, track and sell exclusive, “ready-to-publish” digital assets like articles, white papers, infographics, videos and landing pages to publishers.

The blockchain-based platform will allow digital assets to be secured and monetized by content creators and distributed for sale or licensing to publishers and advertisers.

Boyan Josic, the Founder & CEO of DigitalContent.com stated:

“Our platform will enable creators to boost their earnings by spending more time on creating content instead of looking for projects. In return, publishers will have access to content they can immediately purchase and publish, saving them time and money.”

The content marketplace will be token driven with content buyers using DCNT tokens to purchase and license content items. Content creators will also be able to secure and track content items with a digital asset token called DAST. DAST tokens will function as a “proof of ownership” token, providing both content creators and publishers a ledger tracking the origination, smart-contract terms and performance of each individual content item.

The DigitalContent platform will have in-depth content tracking tools, providing creators with a dashboard which tracks historical performance of each content item they’ve ever created, along with insights on where content is hosted, the transactional terms and even content performance metrics like impressions and clicks.

These features will enable creators to sell or license content on their terms. For example, instead of listing an item at a set price, they may choose to license content on pay-per-performance terms like clicks or impressions. These terms are secured by smart-contracts in the blockchain using the DAST token.

According to the token distribution plan, 50% of the total 100 million DCNT tokens will be sold through the ICO to funding contributors. 20 million tokens are being set aside for content creators who will be incentivized and paid with tokens to jump-start the marketplace with high-quality content. No additional DCNT tokens will be issued in the future.

Equality Rules the Galaxy; 10 Year Old Girl Invents Eclipse Toy - Rocket Knobs®

Pleasant View, UT, August 22, 2017 --(PR.com)-- 10 year old Adria Johnson certainly believes that girls can do anything; the inventor of Rocket Knobs holds the future in her hands as she celebrates the solar eclipse with a new product, built out of a desire to have fun and make things that remind her of space and the future. She tsays her product is “not about fidgeting!” It happens to be somewhat inspired by solar eclipses and features two orbiting spheres. She and her father developed the small toy that allows for experimentation with the effects of angular and rotational momentum and newtonian physics. It’s a very simple toy that holds some unique properties. Adria points out that Rocket Knobs® are the World’s next super toy with many uses. She says the joy comes from tossing, spinning, flipping, rolling, and using them to massage your sore muscles.

The 10 year old Utah native is unshakable in her feeling that girls can do anything and should reach for the stars when it comes to their goals. She says the current target for her is to reach her funding goals on her Indiegogo® campaign so that she can invest in the manufacturing and distribution of Rocket Knobs®.

“I didn’t realize there was so much that went into making a product, but now that I have started in the process, I totally think I can get this product to market. My artistic dad is helping me with the day to day marketing and project management to see it through to completion." -Adria Johnson

When asked where such an odd product name came from, she replied that “My dad and I had some brainstorming sessions where we tossed around some fun names. I knew the name should be something that recalls the launch of humans traveling to space, and beyond that, to walking on the moon, and seeking to go further out to Mars, or beyond. I really want people to think of the future and all the amazing things that have taken place in the past to break the bounds of gravity and put us in a position to see the cosmos from a different perspective than ground level. We can do amazing things and I want this new product to bring that into focus and be a reminder.”

When it comes to the solar eclipse, Adria points out that the best way to re-live it is to “donate to my Indiegogo® campaign, and then buy some freeze dried ice-cream and listen to “Ticket to the Moon” by Electric Light Orchestra while you watch all the replays online.”

All these products are now selling successfully on the company’s website www.hminers.com.

With the steadily growing population of cryptocurrencies, the demand for mining rigs has also experienced a significant growth over the years. However, unfortunately, many of the available products fail to deliver the desired level of hash rate to the users. Incidentally, hash rate is the most important parameter to judge the efficiency of a mining rig.

Hminers is a team cryptocurrency enthusiasts and experts that grabbed the attention of the industry some years ago by creating the world’s first 10 nm ASIC Chip.

Some of the top features of these mining rigs include:

-High hash rates
-Low power consumption
-Built and designed to operate under multiple algorithms
-Low noise and heat generation
-Suitable for mining Bitcoin/Litecoin/Ethereum/Dash
-Guaranteed Return of Investment in less than a month

Expressing pleasure about the company’s H2U Miner, a recent user mentioned, “I have recently purchased the H2U Miner from Hminers and the experience so far has been just amazing. With solid hash rate and low power consumption, this product is certainly miles ahead of any other mining rig I have used so far. My accolades to the creators for delivering something that the market has been missing so far.”

Reacting to the positive market response for the mining rigs, a senior official from Hminers stated, “Our team has spent several months in evaluating, prototyping, and extreme-condition pressure testing of these products to achieve perfection. It is certainly great to see that their effort and dedication is making a serious difference in the user experience of our customers.”

Elisiontec Announced Advanced Remote Agent Feature to Benefit Call Centers and Customer Support Centers

Charlotte, NC, August 23, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Elision Technolab LLP is an India based VoIP solution provider Company. The company has been in the industry for more than a decade and benefiting its customers with their expertise in VoIP technologies. Recently the spokesperson of the company announced that the company offers an advanced contact center module called Remote Agent. This module can be used with VICIDial: Open source call center solution or Dialshree: Contact center software offered by the Elision Technolab LLP by to its customers as a product.

This advanced contact center solution module allows call center agents to work from any location. These agents don’t need access to contact center software or web client to work. All they need is a cell phone or a Smartphone. The agent can work on inbound or outbound calling campaign as well as on a blended campaign. Each call received or made through his phone will be logged by the VICIDial or contact center software in use. This ensures to get a complete call detail report and logs for the working of an agent. Also, the supervisors will have ability to barge-in the conversation. This makes the remote agent concept of call centers true in all senses.

As the Indian call centers have to adhere to the rules and regulation of TRAI, Elisiontec further supports calling over PRI lines. It means each call will adhere to the rules of TRAI. This keeps a call center secure from any legal concern as well as Indian call centers can support the‘Remote Agent’ work model for its agents as well.

Here is what the spokesperson of Elisiontec shared with the media, “The remote agent concept is there in the call center industry for long, but it is not supported in a true way. The agents who work from remote location have to log in to the call center software. This creates a barrier as in the agent has to be at a location which can give him access of required infrastructure. Thus, we invented a call center software module which allows agents to work from any location they want to without a need to get logged into the system or access the call center software. Our module will allow an agent to make and receive calls using his mobile phone. This mobile number will be registered with the call center solution. Thus, each call made and received will be logged into the call center software or VICIDial open source contact center solution. The admin and supervisor can track activities of an agent as well.”

The stated module can work with both, call center software and contact center software. The company has removed all barriers coming across to any customer support center or call center to support the ‘Remote Agent’ model. Moreover, it bestowed complete flexibility to the agents with limited internet or system access. The agent can still work in his shift without system or internet access.

$

London, United Kingdom, August 23, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Hampleton Partners, an international mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and corporate advisory firm for technology companies, today issued 11 technology M&A market reports for 2H 2017 in the key business segments of artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR), automotive technology, cybersecurity, digital marketing, e-commerce, enterprise software, financial technology, internet of things (IoT), IT services, and SaaS & cloud services.

“Overall, our research shows that technology M&A cooled down in the first half of 2017,” says Miro Parizek, Principal Partner of Hampleton Partners. “However, it is critical to be more nuanced and to look deeper into specific sectors and the related data when assessing deal activity and planning strategy.”

Parizek adds, “M&A and funding is accelerating in select sectors, as more ‘non-technology’ or traditional companies and private equity firms move to acquire and invest in technology and innovation. Artificial intelligence, augmented reality/virtual reality, and cybersecurity are three of the most promising sectors for technology M&A right now.”

Key findings in the technology M&A market reports for 2H 2017 include the following:

- Artificial Intelligence: Acquisitions of AI related targets speeds up dramatically as deal volume increases 179% versus the previous year. Total M&A relating to artificial intelligence now exceeds 100 transactions in the last 24 months to June 2017, in concert with the growing media attention dedicated to the sector.

- AR/VR: Investment in augmented reality and virtual reality has shot up in recent years, with a majority of related M&A activity occurring in the US. In the last 12 months, nearly 80% of the $620+ million worth of deals in AR/VR were related to hardware development.

- Cybersecurity: Headline grabbing data thefts, government and corporate breaches underpin high growth in spending on cybersecurity driving investment and M&A activity in the sector. Deal volumes remain high with 80 security related acquisitions tracked in 1H 2017. Valuations maintain a healthy level as well with EV/S (i.e. revenue multiples) clocking in at 4.7x on disclosed transactions for the period 2015 through 1H 2017.

- Automotive Technology: European investors are setting the pace in automotive technology, with 59% of automotive technology companies acquired by European buyers compared with 37% purchased by North American investors.

- Digital Marketing: Deal sizes in marketing application software M&A grew at the start of the year, with total transaction values for 1H 2017 up 20% to $1.7 billion versus the previous half-year period.

- E-Commerce: The global e-commerce industry is rapidly evolving as European investors dominated another half-year period of regional dealmaking. In the last 30 months, European buyers acquired 63% of regional targets compared to 32% of targets from North American investors.

- Enterprise Software: Global M&A volume increased 12% in 1H 2017 versus the previous half-year period with earnings based valuation metrics (EV/EBITDA) remaining stable at 14.5x. Political uncertainty in Britain had little impact on deal flow in enterprise software as the number of UK deals grew by a modest 5% from the previous half year and accounted for 35% of all deals in Europe.

- Financial Technology: M&A deal activity in Fintech is up 8% in 1H 2017 and beginning to recover from its sharp drop in 2H 2016, however, still not at the levels registered from mid-2014 to mid-2016. Within the Fintech sub-sector, Online Financial Services, valuations are increasing as private equity purchasers focus on purchasing payment providers.

- Internet of Things: Intel, Verizon and ARM head up the list of Top Acquirers in IoT. 198 buyers were active snapping up 239 IoT assets from 2015 through 1H 2017. While the median revenues paid on disclosed transactions has come in at 3.5x during that period, some deals were inked with EV/S ratios as high as 21x.

- IT Services: Of the top 50 highest valued deal during 1H 2017, more than half were cross border deals, building on from the second half of 2016 where 40% of the top 50 transactions crossed national borders. Additionally, global private equity deal flow showed a marked turnaround. There were 48 private equity deals announced in 1H 2017, doubling the number of deals private equity buyers closed during the previous six months.

- SaaS & Cloud: SaaS and Cloud sector picked up in 1H 2017 as deal flow in the information management and enterprise applications/networking sub sectors increased this year by 7%, as interest from buyout funds drove to the total value of $5.22 billion across the SaaS & Cloud sector.

Hampleton’s research team publishes semi-annual technology M&A market reports by sector with data on transaction multiples, analysis of deal drivers, and informed discussions of current trends and what to expect in the near- to mid-term future.

Society for the Blind and Visually Impaired Introduces New Eyeglass Mounted Technology to St. Louis

$

Brentwood, MO, August 23, 2017 --(PR.com)-- For over one hundred years, The Society for the Blind and Visually Impaired has continued to enhance, empower and enrich the lives of children and adults who are visually impaired, and their families. Now, the Society is proud to announce the introduction of OrCam MyEye, a new, breakthrough, wearable technology to assist people who are blind or visually impaired and provide them with independence.

According to David Ekin, President of the Society, “We are excited to be the first to introduce this remarkable low vision wearable device which interprets visual information using an intuitive smart camera mounted on the frames of the wearer’s eyeglasses, connected to a pocket-sized computer, to the entire Metro St. Louis area.”

Ekin added, “This device will make the world of difference for our clients who have limited vision. OrCam MyEye will allow them to instantly and discreetly read their mail, newspapers and magazines, restaurant menus, all the words around them, even recognize faces and objects, opening up a whole new world! This only adds to the many options and services we offer for those with low vision.”

Prior to introduction of OrCam to the St. Louis Metro Area, anyone who wanted to obtain the device in the Midwest had to travel to Chicago, Illinois. Two Society for the Blind and Visually Impaired clients, Mark Detjen and Robyn Wallen, recently travelled from their home in St. Louis to Chicago to purchase an OrCam MyEye and to receive training.

Mark has Retinitis Pigmentosa and had lost most of his sight. Mark says, “I am thrilled to be able to go to the mailbox, retrieve our mail and then be able to sort and read it independently. It is something I have truly missed.” OrCam MyEye has given Mark back a sense of normalcy.

Robyn has been legally blind all her life but has always loved books. According to Robyn “One truly defining moment for me that changed my life forever was just being able to walk into a bookstore, pull a book off a shelf and sit down and start reading. It is something I had not done since I was a teenager.” The fact that the OrCam MyEye is so small makes Robyn feel normal because, unlike a large bulky device, OrCam MyEye does not draw attention.

"OrCam is passionately dedicated to providing independence through our unparalleled artificial vision technology," said Elad Serfaty, OrCam Senior Vice President. "Whether it's reading a morning newspaper, recognizing the approach of a loved one or choosing a favorite item in the supermarket, our mission is to improve quality of life."

OrCam is now available for demonstration, training and purchase at the Society for the entire metro St. Louis region, both Illinois and Missouri, and Southern Illinois, as of Monday, August 7th. Several of the Society’s staff members have been trained by OrCam to be Certified/Authorized trainers of the device. The price for each reader is $2,500 for the base model or $3,500 for a device with facial and object recognition. An appointment must be made to have the device demonstrated and to determine feasibility of use for each individual.

About OrCam Technologies:
OrCam’s mission is to harness the power of artificial vision by incorporating pioneering technology into a wearable platform which improves the lives of individuals who are blind, visually impaired, have a reading disability or people with other conditions.

Powered by leading minds in the Computer Vision and Machine Learning fields, OrCam’s team includes dedicated software, computer and electrical engineers, hardware design experts, passionate customer service team – including sighed, low vision and blind members – to provide visual aid through a discreet mobile and easy-to-use interface.

OrCam was jointly founded in 2010 by CTO Profession Amnon Shashua and CEO Ziv Aviram, who are also co-founders of collision avoidance system Mobileye (NYSE:MBLY). The OrCam MyEye assistive technology device was launched in the US in 2015 and subsequently in a growing number of countries. The company recently established its European headquarters in London and Canadian headquarters in Toronto. Please visit http://www.orcam.com.

About Society for the Blind and Visually Impaired:
The Society enhances independence, empowers individuals and enriches the lives of people who are blind or visually impaired and their families. Caring, qualified staff provide specialized vision rehabilitation, adaptive education, assistive technology and support services.

For further information, please visit the Society’s website at www.slsbvi.org. Anyone needing the services of the Society for the Blind or Visually Impaired, including the OrCam demonstration, may call the Society’s office at 314-968-9000.

Amsterdam, Netherlands, August 24, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Web crawling expert Dataprovider.com will be one of the speakers at this year’s Big Data Matters Conference. The conference, that is organized by Statistics Netherlands, will take stock of the progress made in big data innovation since the creation of the Center of Big Data Statistics (CBDS) last year. It aims to unite the expertise of more than 40 collaborative partners in big data technology and method analysis.

Dataprovider.com will attend the conference to discuss the findings of a study the company did in collaboration with Statistics Netherlands and Google. This highly innovative project - called "Measuring the Internet Economy in the Netherlands" - was the first of its kind to map the country’s internet economy. The unique approach taken by combining big data resources from Dataprovider.com with the General Business Register provided by Statistics Netherlands, has allowed both parties to create an extensive analysis of the 50.000 companies that make up the internet economy in the Netherlands.

“It’s our pleasure to discuss the findings of this research at the Big Data Matters Conference this year,” says Gijs Barends, co-founder of Dataprovider.com. “The study has been an exciting puzzle for us. It not only allowed us to define what the internet economy is, but also gave us a chance to determine which variables from our database were needed to measure it. Studies like this are a great way for us to turn our data into valuable information.”

The conference will be held on September 27th at the Brightlands Smart Services Campus in Heerlen. For more information or to sign up, visit www.cbs.nl/bigdatamatters-en.
