Trying to maintain a healthy heart has become more difficult in the wake of COVID-19. While the pandemic has increased remote telehealth, there are glaring vulnerabilities due to a lack of real-time cardiac monitoring. Heart attacks are on the rise as a result of patients ignoring symptoms, staying home and not going to the hospital. COVID-related stress has caused a surge in cardiac health issues. Additionally, some recovering COVID patients have since developed heart issues related to the virus. As a result, the need for real-time cardiac monitoring is more important than ever. Dr. Waqaas Al-Siddiq has been at the forefront of remote monitoring solutions. He is the founder and CEO of Biotricity, developer of advanced remote cardiac monitoring technology. Waqaas believes COVID-19 has accelerated the ongoing shift in the health landscape from a reactive system to a prevention, personalized and more efficient tech-based system. https://www.biotricity.com
Mode Founders Make Cannabis Consumption Safer Cannabis is no longer just for recreation. People depend on cannabis for a variety of personal and medical reasons on a daily basis. The problem for many users revolves around dosing and consumption. From choosing the right strain to knowing how much to take, achieving the right result can be troublesome. Mode is solving this problem with the world’s first universal dosing device and personalized guidance app for 510 cannabis cartridges. Mode removes the guesswork out of dosing and helps users achieve the ideal experience every time. The idea for the company came when co-founder Izzy Kirsh was using cannabis to treat a personal injury and became aware of the lack of proper cannabinoid dosing devices. This led to the exploration of creating a better and healthier approach to cannabis use. Mode offers several features including: • Real Time Dosing Control – Mode’s Touch Slider™ allows users to adjust their dose with precision down to the milligram • Universal 510 Compatibility – Mode is compatible with the universal 510 threaded cartridge, giving users the freedom to enjoy their favorite strains from the best brands on the market. • Haptic Guidance™ – Mode’s Inhale & Exhale Haptic Guidance feature lets users know exactly when to stop inhaling and when to exhale with a gentle vibration from the device. • Quick-Snap™ Connector – Swap out 510 cartridges with a simple snap. No screwing or twisting required. • Mode App – The app features the first ever control dashboard for personalized cannabis consumption. It provides access to detailed dosage plans, product information, feedback loop, personalized recommendations and consumption analytics. Mode retails for $100 and is set to launch early Q1 2021. https://mode.co

Wrightspeed Electrifies the Future of Heavy Duty Urban Transportation Urban transportation vehicles are among the world’s great polluters. Studies show that traditional medium- and heavy-duty trucks comprise only 4 percent of the total on-road vehicles, while producing 30 percent of on-road emissions and consuming 26 percent of the fuel. Wrightspeed is addressing this global problem with its electric vehicle and range-extended EV solutions. Wrightspeed has designed the world’s most efficient range-extended electric vehicle powertrains. Built for short-haul operations on urban streets, Wrightspeed is powering frequent-stop, heavy-duty vehicles such as garbage, delivery and construction trucks, as well as busses. Traditional piston combustion engines are least efficient when starting and stopping. Wrightspeed’s hybrid electric powertrains address this problem by optimizing efficiency and performance. On regional schedules, the Wrightspeed range-extended solution provides a 25 percent fuel savings with measured real-world fuel savings of up to 60 percent on more aggressive driving schedules. In addition to fuel savings, annual maintenance and brake replacement can be reduced by as much as $25,000 per year on these aggressive schedules. Wrightspeed has opened a new route for sustainable trucking by reducing greenhouse gasses, meeting regulatory needs and noise ordinances, and providing total cost of ownership (TCO). Wrightspeed is partnering with countries and international companies to make a global environmental impact. We’d like to invite you to speak with Wrightspeed VP of Engineering Broc TenHouten about the company’s groundbreaking technology and how the company is transporting the future of heavy duty vehicles one short haul at a time. https://www.wrightspeed.com
