AppYea expands its SleepX patent commercialization portfolio with a non-diluting agreement.

Appyea

AppYea (OTC: APYP) announced that its subsidiary SleepX, which focuses on the development of accurate wearable monitoring solutions to treat sleep apnea and snoring – has signed new commercialization agreement for two additional patents by Ben-Gurion University. The new patented technology enables the innovative detection of sleep apnea and hypopnea through speech analysis using only a smartphone and with no physical contact. This is compared to traditional technologies that use physical sensors to detect apnea in overnight sleep labs. "In recent years we see a growing number of major players taking development efforts in the field of sleep monitoring and sleep apnea”, said Boris (Bary) Molchadsky, chairman & CEO of AppYea. “We are developing our own products that cater to this market while increasing our patent portfolio and examining synergistic technologies as part of our strategy to become a leading player in the sleep health market while also offering licensing agreements for leading smartphone manufacturers.” SleepX is a research and development company recently acquired by AppYea. The company had developed a unique product for monitoring and treating sleep apnea and snoring. The technology is protected by several international patents and the company plans to start serial production in 2022. SleepX focuses its activities on the development and commercialization of its flagship product SleepX PRO solution which is designed to diagnose sleep apnea using only a smartphone and with no physical contact. The company recently announced that it has applied to the Helsinki Committee for approval to begin its planned clinical trial on the SleepX PRO application. This trial is intended to take place at a hospital sleep lab as the first step toward applying for an FDA approval under the first-of-its-kind medical device category for “contactless detection of sleep apnea to be performed through the Artificial Intelligence (AI) analysis of breathing during sleep”. As far as SleepX is aware, the global sleep apnea devices market size is valued at USD 3.7 billion as of 2020 with a 6.2% CAGR, reaching USD 6.1 billion by 2028, according to Grand View Research’s report.

Funding update: Marquee tech founders and investors join Ultrahuman’s Series A

Ultrahuman

Several prolific tech investors and founders have come together to invest in Ultrahuman, a leading metabolic fitness platform that uses glucose biomarkers to help people optimize their lifestyle. Balaji Srinivasan (ex-Coinbase), Nithin Kamath (founder of Zerodha via Rainmatter) and Preethi Kasireddy (ex-a16z) along with several others have invested in Ultrahuman, the world’s most advanced metabolic fitness platform, in an undisclosed funding amount which will be in addition to their recent series A round. Others influential leaders include Groww founders (Harsh Jain, Lalit Keshre, Neeraj Singh and Ishan Bansal), Razorpay founder, Harshil Mathur and RazorpayX GM - Shashank Mehta, Akshay BD (founding team Uber India) and Tanmay Bhat (celebrity content creator and investor) as they support Ultrahuman, a metabolic fitness platform that helps people optimize their metabolism via real-time biomarkers like glucose in combination with HRV, sleep and activity insights. The metabolic health crisis is unarguably one of the largest healthcare crises that exist today. Over a billion people in the world suffer from a metabolic health disorder which contributes to almost 85% of all chronic diseases in the world. By helping people understand how food and exercise affect their metabolic health, people would be able to make informed choices about what they eat and their activity levels. The approach is a geography/diet agnostic way to help people eat and exercise better. Measuring a powerful biomarker like glucose can reveal so much about how a particular food item affects the user’s metabolic health by measuring the glucose response. This response is unique to an individual and it depends on various factors like their gut microbiome, stress levels, time of the day, food ingredient quality, etc. Ultrahuman launched with Ultrahuman M1 - a metabolic health tracking platform that provides intelligent nudges based on glucose biomarkers. This helps people optimize their exercise, sleep and nutrition based on deep insights from the platform. The M1 tracks the wearer’s metabolism as they go about their day using a continuous glucose monitoring device. It triggers timely personalized nudges to the user such as alerts to high glucose variability events leading to oxidative stress and suggestions to optimize it via lifestyle interventions. Nithin Kamath, founder of Zerodha, added: “A big part of living healthier is tracking your diet and eating right, but the problem is doing this accurately is tricky. The approach that Ultrahuman is taking to tackle this problem of improving metabolic fitness by using biomarkers is really interesting. We're excited to join Mohit and Vatsal on their journey.” Ultrahuman has raised over $25M to date. Existing investors include Alpha Wave, Steadview Capital, Nexus Venture Partners, Blume Ventures and Utsav Somani’s iSeed fund, and a range of other angel investors including Tiger Global’s Scott Schleifer. “We’re super excited to welcome some of the world’s foremost founders, investors and biohackers to join our Series A round. The most inspiring aspect of this investment is that most of them are long term users of the platform as well and that strengthens our mission holistically”. said Mohit Kumar, Founder and CEO, Ultrahuman. Ultrahuman was started by Mohit Kumar and Vatsal Singhal who were also co-founders at Runnr which later merged with India’s largest food delivery service Zomato. Mohit is an avid cyclist, biohacker and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu enthusiast. Vatsal is a cross-fit enthusiast and a biohacker. Mohit was training at one of the largest MMA Camps in the world (Tiger Muay Thai in Thailand). During his training, he observed athletes train smartly via the usage of data, recovery tools and protocols. About Ultrahuman Ultrahuman is the world's most advanced metabolic fitness platform. By using glucose and other biomarkers, Ultrahuman is helping people improve their energy levels, lose fat and avoid metabolic disorders.

Shatterproof Statement Regarding the Just Released 2021 CDC Overdose Numbers

Shatterproof

In response to the newly-reported number of overdose deaths in the country, and on the heels of the first-ever National Fentanyl Awareness Day, Shatterproof, a national nonprofit dedicated to reversing the addiction crisis in the United States, announced that they will be addressing the alarming rates at which fentanyl is killing Americans through several targeted policy initiatives. According to the CDC, more than 107,000 people died of an overdose in the year 2021—more than twice the number of U.S. traffic fatalities or gun-violence deaths during that period. Approximately 66 percent of these deaths involved synthetic opioids such as fentanyl and according to the CDC overdose deaths are the leading cause of death for people 18 to 45. The primary driver of the opioid epidemic today is illicit fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times more potent than heroin. A recent Stanford-Lancet Commission Report warned that, without radical change, the U.S. opioid ten-year death toll could reach to 1.2 million by 2029. The Commission recommended bold changes to address this enormous challenge. The issue is further complicated by the fact that many users are not seeking fentanyl, rather it is laced into heroin, stimulants (cocaine and methamphetamines), and counterfeit pills of brand-named drugs like Oxycontin, Xanax and Adderall, unbeknownst to the user, driving overdoses. This is a multi-dimensional problem: a national security, law enforcement and public health challenge that requires a multi-dimensional solution spanning foreign policy, homeland security, and public health, while developing a deeper understanding of demand for the substances. To address this urgent public health crisis, Shatterproof has developed a national strategy to enact policies that can reverse the alarming trend in deaths from fentanyl. These policies include: Ensuring real-time overdose monitoring through data collection and reporting Ensuring multichannel, broadbased fentanyl-specific education programs Significantly expanding access to and use of naloxone Siginficantly expanding stigma-reduction programs related to those with a substance use disorder Provide law enforcement with necessary tools to stop fentanyl trafficking Integrating evidence-based prevention programming for substance use with other community-based programming for children, and ensuring adequate funding for prevention programs. Testing viability of fentanyl test strips as an intervention by changing state drug paraphernalia laws, as needed, to make them available “It is beyond time that we addressed the scourge that fentanyl has brought to our communities. Fentanyl’s silent and sinister prevalence is reversing otherwise positive trends in treatment quality and addiction stigma reduction. We must reduce the supply of fentanyl and the demand for its effects as logical and urgent next steps in our efforts to save lives, said Gary Mendell, Shatterproof Founder and CEO.” About Shatterproof: Shatterproof is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to reversing the addiction crisis in the United States. Shatterproof harnesses the models of business, the rigor of science and the power of a national movement to create change and save lives through three pillars of work: revolutionizing the addiction treatment system, breaking down addiction-related stigmas and supporting and empowering our communities.

April 23 has been declared the World Infant, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Day (WICAMHD) by the world’s leading psychiatric organizations for child and adolescence

IACAPAP

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 11 May 2022 - Research has shown that most mental disorders develop in childhood and adolescence (before the age of 25), and one-quarter of number of years lost to disability or illness for mental and substance use disorders occur in youths. Recognising the urgency to address this burgeoning issue and to galvanise the global community to take ownership and action, the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions ( IACAPAP ), International Society for Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology ( ISAPP ), World Association for Infant Mental Health ( WAIMH ), and World Psychiatric Association Child and Adolescent Psychiatry ( WPA-CAP ) have jointly declared April 23 as the World Infant, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Day (WICAMHD) with a launch event on that day. Children and adolescents form one third of the world's population. Childhood and adolescence are foundational years and ideally a period of growth, learning and carefree exploration. However, many around the world are inflicted by trauma and crises – adverse experiences which research has demonstrated to impact lifelong mental and physical health. Research has also shown that most mental disorders develop in childhood and adolescence (before the age of 25), and one-quarter of disability-adjusted life years for mental and substance use disorders occur in youths. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are also contributing factors in the development of mental disorders in adult years. The indirect and compounding effects of this is a ballooning economic burden on societies, especially in the areas of healthcare utilisation and productivity loss. Below are excerpts from speakers at the Launch: Associate Professor Daniel Fung, President of the IACAPAP said, “Studies of adults with both mental and physical illnesses have also shown that adverse childhood experiences can have long lasting effects later in life. The emphasis by most governments has always been on adults in both financial budgeting as well as policy development. We hope to change this with the World Infant Child and Adolescent Mental Health Day, by relooking our priorities and having the right reasons for planning our future. If there is no health without mental health, then the key to health and well-being of people and nations lies with our young, and we should take early steps to protect their mental health.” Prof Campbell Paul, President for WAIMH said, “Early intervention means intervening early in childhood and before mental health problems become established when it is more difficult to help the child or young person resume a healthy social and emotional developmental trajectory. Around the world mental health services for infants, children and adolescents are patchy and sparse with many countries and communities having literally no access to child mental health services,” Prof Norbert Skokauskas, Chair for WPA-CAP said, “We are aware of the current unmet needs in global child and adolescent mental health and it’s critical for us to call for an integrated approach with a clear vision for change, political support and funding to implement the vision, and trained healthcare workforce to implement the change in clinical practice,”. Prof Mario Speranza, President of the ISAPP said, “Supporting adolescents’ mental health is not just a duty toward a significant part of the population. It may be useful to remind ourselves that children and adolescents represent over a quarter of the world population. It’s much more a question of investing in the most promising elements of our society. Raise the awareness of the specific needs of children and adolescents and supporting their mental health means investing in our very own future. This is the reason for celebrating the World Infant, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Day,” The designation of Apr 23 as WICAMHD draws recognition of the importance of infant, child and adolescent mental health; and encourages stakeholders to advocate for the promotion of mental health and prevention of mental illness in the young by: Improving global public awareness about infant, child and adolescent mental health. Creating literacy and competencies in the promotion of infant, child and adolescent mental health as well as reducing the stigma of mental disorders in these populations. Improving diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infant, child and adolescent mental disorders through international cooperation and understanding. Reaching out to countries with scarce resources to develop infant, child and adolescent mental health professionals. The prevalence of mental disorders continues to rise in the young and is higher than in older-age groups. An improved understanding of this, as well as better awareness among communities and helping professionals cannot be underestimated.

That is what you will receive from other brands. Exhale CBD Gummies ingredients contain only pure, potent CBD derived from hemp. Thus, you're ingesting a plant extract to aid in your recovery.

Exhale products are designed for everyone who wants to enjoy a premium quality hemp product while simultaneously gaining health advantages. The business gives you a ticket to stress-free days. Their natural goods, which have a natural flavor and mild hints of hemp from the terpenes, could be beneficial to your health. These gummies can be taken by anyone who is suffering from anxiety or insomnia. On the Exhale website, there is a wide range of things to choose from, catering to all types of people. The CBD gummies, which have gotten amazing reviews due to their flavor and potency, are the most popular among the public. The CBD gummies formula encourages a natural healing process for chronic ailments, allowing you to live a more active and healthier life. These natural soft gels are easy to chew and digest, as well as being healthful. They start working as soon as it enters the bloodstream. It is free of THC elements because it is uprooted by modern technology and reused after filtration. Factors To Consider While Selecting A CBD Gummy On The Market Full or Broad-Spectrum Opt for products prepared with full or broad-spectrum oil rather than distillate or isolate to reap the entire range of health benefits. Full-spectrum products contained all of the cannabis plant's cannabinoids, including CBD and THC. Broad-spectrum oils contain the majority of cannabinoids but are typically devoid of THC. THC and CBD may act better together than separately according to one source. This is guided to as the entourage effect. Additionally, full-spectrum and broad-spectrum products are less processed, which aids in the preservation of some of cannabis's volatile organic components such as terpenes. Terpenes contribute to its flavor and aroma and have their medical benefits. Exhale CBD gummies are infused with full-spectrum CBD. Product Quality Plants usually imitate their surroundings. For example, coffee has a specific flavor that varies depending on the soil and plants. Organically grown hemp plants have a particularly high absorption capacity. You may have noticed that the flavor of hemp products varies based on their origin. Their surroundings highly influence hemp plants' quality and flavor. This incredible level of absorption, in the right hands, can lead to some unexpected combinations. However, this ability can be problematic, as chemicals and other synthetic components can alter the plant's flavor and taste. This is why it's so important to keep as many organic hemp farms as possible and what it means when a brand claims to be 100% organic. In addition, certain businesses may add additives to their products for various reasons. Several compounds can change the taste, lengthen life, or change the color. Keep an eye on the components they use throughout production because these compounds may negatively affect the final product. It's vital to make sure that the CBD is derived from hemp plants rather than marijuana, as this could lead to legal complications. Brand's Reputation Always consider the brand reputation like Exhale's because a good one ensures that your money is in good hands. Customer reviews, which validate the firm, its product quality, and its services, can gauge its reputation. Never choose a brand unknown to the general public or has no customer evaluations since you may be duped. Even if it isn't a fraud, many brands are likely to employ low-quality components that could harm your health. Safety You are what you eat; therefore, we don't have to say much more if you stuff your body with pesticide CBD gummies that include many toxins. As a result, you should constantly double-check the safety of your products before purchasing them. You may easily do this by keeping an eye out for third-party lab test results. These, among other things, help ensure that the product is free of pollutants and legally compliant. You should not compromise if a brand lacks this. Look in another direction. Aside from that, it would be best if you looked into the ingredients. CBD may not be hazardous to you, but you should be aware of any potential allergies to the product. Before utilizing the best delta-8 THC products, consult your doctor if you have a medical issue. Personal Needs Last but not least, there's the reason you're considering CBD gummies in the first place. Many manufacturers sell gummies for various reasons and applications, but some specialize in certain types of gummies. Clients buy full-spectrum edibles for various reasons, ranging from anxiety to improved focus. Some gummies contain CBD extract or another particular chemical that can aid in treating anxiety and stress management. If you're searching for gummies to help with your mental health, seek CBD products commonly used for that purpose. Benefits Of Consuming CBD Gummies Support Healthy Inflammatory Function The capacity of CBD to support good inflammatory function is likely its most interesting benefit since it can alleviate the unpleasant symptoms of a wide range of human ailments. As a result, considerable research examining CBD's effect on inflammation has been conducted, with promising results even though these studies were mostly conducted on animals. Support For Focus CBD has been demonstrated to interact with dopamine receptors in the body. Dopamine is a natural neurotransmitter that regulates human behavior, including our ability to focus, motivate, remember, and pay attention. Hemp-Less Taste Hemp's flavor isn't for everyone; it's nutty and earthy, and it can turn people off to cannabis in general. As a result, numerous companies provide flavored CBD products to hide hemp's inherent flavor, but people with sensitive taste buds are frequently disappointed. The benefits of CBD gummies are that, because they're made to look like candy, they taste like a pleasant treat with barely any undertones of hemp. It's the ideal solution for individuals who want to get the advantages of CBD but don't want to deal with hemp's naturally strong flavor. How Do Exhale CBD Gummies Work? CBD gummies are probably the simplest way to introduce CBD edibles to your body. Vegan gummies packed with cannabidiol that are naturally extracted and organic might be an excellent method to target your difficulties while also fulfilling your sweet craving. The formula begins by promoting the normal function of the critical receptors found throughout your body. They are highly effective at boosting the ECS system in your body. As a result, you'll notice that everything from pain to inflammation, eating, sleeping, and even cognitive function is under healthy control. Additionally, the natural elements in the formula aid in the healing process associated with common pain and promote bone health. Side Effects According to experts, most people can take up to 1500mg of CBD per day. You'd have to consume roughly 150 gummies to get that much CBD from an ordinary gummy. More gelatine, sugar, and other additives are more likely to induce negative effects than CBD. Large doses of CBD gummies may cause nausea, bloating, and indigestion, among other things. How your body reacts to everything might be from the CBD or the other gummy elements. Even though CBD gummies have no known adverse effects, it's always a good idea to see your doctor before starting any CBD product, as individual results may vary. Especially if you're expecting a child, breastfeeding, have a medical condition or are on any medications. According to a study, most people handle high doses of CBD well and experience few negative effects. A 2017 study showed that CBD was safe, which supports this review. However, according to a 2019 study, CBD may interact with some drugs. It also caused liver damage in mice, according to the study. Overall, research suggests that CBD gummies are safe to consume by anyone, but always consult your doctor before doing so. Who Should Refrain From Exhale Exhale CBD gummies are not intended for use by anybody under the age of eighteen. Exhale CBD gummies are also not suggested for mothers who are breastfeeding. Anyone with a significant medical condition should avoid consuming them. If you've been smoking or drinking, Exhale CBD gummies might not provide the health benefits you're looking for. Dosage CBD gummies are a far more fun way to absorb CBD than capsules or tinctures, and they also contain sugar. Additionally, they are more elegant to consume in public than any of those. As a result, many people enjoy bringing them to work, vacations, and other locations outside the home. Taking a few gummies prior to entering a tense scenario can help you maintain your composure. Bear in mind that it enters your system more slowly than when taking a tincture when you take CBD. Allow at least an hour for thorough absorption if you want it to affect immediately. If you're new to CBD, start cautiously regardless of how wonderful the products are. We recommend beginning with a few gummies daily for a few weeks to assess your body's reaction. You can always add more if necessary. Additionally, gummies can be used in conjunction with other CBD products. If you have a greater need for CBD's natural benefits on that particular day, you can use it as a boost. Where to Buy Exhale's CBD Gummies and Guarantees?

It's one of the most popular CBD gummy recipes on the market right now. As a result, you must act quickly if you want to incorporate this into your life.

Many people still have misconceptions about CBD, believing that cannabis, hemp, marijuana, CBD, and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) are different. No, they aren't. Cannabis is a type of plant that comes in two different forms: Cannabis Sativa and Cannabis Indica. While both forms of cannabis can make marijuana, hemp is solely produced from the Cannabis Sativa family. This means that, while hemp and marijuana have a few characteristics, there are significant distinctions. The most important is that hemp is nearly devoid of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Indeed, the hemp must contain less than 0.3% THC to be deemed hemp; else, producers face federal prosecution. CBD is the most active ingredient in marijuana, and it does not make you high. Instead, CBD has been credited with reducing anxiety, insomnia, inflammation, and pain. Other studies are being performed to see if CBD can help with Parkinson's illness, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and anxiety. Aside from its therapeutic use, hemp is an excellent resource for producing 100% biodegradable, environmentally friendly items such as biofuel, construction materials, clothes, and paper. Can These Gummies Make You High? CBD gummies have no psychoactive components, so that you won't get high from them. CBD is derived from hemp, which has very little THC. Marijuana's psychotropic component is THC. The hemp must have less than 0.3% THC; otherwise, producers risk prosecution under federal law. When it comes to hemp, CBD is the most active component, and CBD does not have any intoxication effects. Instead, CBD has been linked to inflammation, reduced anxiety, sleeplessness, and discomfort, though "linked" does not imply "proved." Is it possible for CBD to have long-term health effects? Because CBD became authorized in the United States in 2018, there aren't enough long-term studies on its effectiveness and side effects to completely address this. The endocannabinoid system, a biological system that helps our bodies find balance, is influenced by CBD. Some members may negatively affect their bodies, acclimate to CBD, and readjust themselves, although these normally fade with time. The occurrence or absence of side effects can be influenced by various factors, including your body chemistry, environmental factors, health conditions, and any drugs you may be taking. As a result, before incorporating CBD into your daily routine, talk to your doctor to determine if it's a suitable fit for you. Drowsiness, nausea, headaches, dry eyes, and dry tongue are common side effects. You're not alone if you're experiencing some of these side effects as you begin your CBD regimen. Some of our members tell us that they experience some adverse effects when they first start using CBD but that the effects usually fade away after a few weeks. Because cannabis can be dehydrating in general, it's critical to water, hydrate, hydrate while commencing a CBD regimen. Is it safe to eat Exhale CBD gummies every day? Yes, you can take these daily. CBD-infused gummies from Exhale are completely safe. You can take these before bedtime every night. This is the optimum time to take this medicine because it encourages sleep. Also, if you're not sure where to begin, talk to a doctor. Start with half a gummy or a single gummy. CBD gummies are also recommended as a post-workout supplement by some experts. They will not hurt you in this situation. Furthermore, if you want to see results, you must stick to your routine. CBD gummies can make you feel more energized and less weary during the day. Thanks to a good night's sleep, you'll wake up feeling more energized than ever. Gummies containing CBD are both healthful and legal to use daily. If you're still not convinced, start taking CBD in this form. Furthermore, you can begin to feel better right soon. You can get your first box of gummies right now from Exhale wellness's website. Is CBD psychoactive? CBD is devoid of tetrahydrocannabinol, the intoxicating component of marijuana. However, it does produce the right amount of exhilaration to assist folks in relaxing and falling asleep. The gummy could knock you out as well if you're not careful. CBD gummies can help you sleep better, but if you're new to them, try with a little amount at first. Some hemp derived products available are potentially dangerous. Only purchase CBD gummies from reputable companies like Exhale to prevent being a victim of these scammers. => Click here to visit the official website of Exhale Wellness Conclusion: Why Consume CBD gummy cubes?
