IntusCare Celebrates Milestone Year Building Momentum for 2025

IntusCare

IntusCare, a technology leader in the PACE market, celebrated a transformative year in its offerings for PACE (Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly), underscoring its commitment to supporting value-based care (VBC) models that serve complex senior populations. The company looks to build on the significant momentum in 2025. IntusCare starts the year with additional funding, having recently announced the company raised $11.5 million in a strategic follow-on financing round, bringing total funding to over $27 million. This infusion of capital will fuel the launch of CareHub, a comprehensive care management platform, and support the expansion of IntusCare’s existing suite of Revenue Integrity, Population Health, and Utilization Management solutions. Additionally, the company plans to accelerate its artificial intelligence research, aiming to enhance user experiences for healthcare providers and staff. Notably in 2024, the company announced the launch of two new products and one new service, all specifically designed for PACE. CareHub: The first PACE-specific EMR and practice management system for workflows to manage the VBC model, revolutionizing how interdisciplinary care teams, quality, and compliance managers care for older adults with complex healthcare needs. Intus Revenue Integrity System (IRIS): The first real-time, data-driven risk adjustment system designed specifically for PACE and VBC organizations. IRIS is designed to support PACE and VBC clinical, financial, compliance, and leadership teams to optimize workflows for consistent risk adjustment results. Delegated Utilization Management (UM) Service for PACE: The availability of fractionally-staffed Integrated Care Services (ICS) clinicians and nurses who optimize utilization management for organizations. “This year has been exciting in terms of building a foundation and the momentum to better serve our customers through technology and the expertise we bring to the industry,” said Robbie Felton, CEO and co-founder of IntusCare. “Initially when we started this company during college, we began as a data provider for PACE programs for better care decisions empowered by population health analytics. Now, we’ve grown in scope with delegated services, risk adjustment, and an EMR and practice management system, providing more value to our clients who are empowered to provide even better care for their complex, senior patients.” Much of IntusCare’s growth in scope took place within the last year, propelled by deep partnerships with their customers who shared their needs with the company. The vision for CareHub emerged when customers shared pain points such as reducing staff documentation and administrative burden, integrating disparate data systems, and enabling actionable workflows for interdisciplinary care teams. “Ultimately, we want to be the place where all value-based care organizations that manage risk for complex care come to do their work. CareHub is a key foundation of the ultimate operating system that we're looking to build for the space and community,” said Evan Jackson, co-founder and Chief Operating Officer for IntusCare. Strategic Partnerships Over the last year, IntusCare grew its strategic partnerships, including the addition of new PACE programs as clients along with alliances with other technology companies to improve offerings to customers. IntusCare now serves 70+ PACE organizations across the country, adding 33 new partners in 2024, an increase of ~90% over 2023. This growth is driven by our commitment to both grow alongside our existing partners and expand throughout PACE with the aligned goal of empowering high quality participant care. In addition, IntusCare is breaking down industry silos by prioritizing data access and interoperability through strategic partnerships with leading technology companies. This approach ensures the delivery of impactful, integrated solutions that better serve its customers. An example of how IntusCare is prioritizing interoperability with PACE organizations is through its collaboration with MedVision for seamless data integration, improved care coordination, regulatory and compliance support, and operational and financial efficiencies. Another partnership with Grane Rx will allow their pharmacy solutions to integrate with CareHub supporting medication safety, streamlined workflows, and advanced ePrescribing within the platform for PACE. Thought Leadership Education Providing software solutions is not enough within the complex healthcare environment, including some of the intricacies of PACE. IntusCare used its expertise and connections to support thought leadership educational opportunities to benefit the PACE ecosystem. Chief Population Health Officer Laura Ferrara, an experienced PACE leader, presented at several PACE organization conferences and meetings throughout the year, including a PACE Basics workshop at the National PACE Association’s annual conference in October. In November, IntusCare hosted a virtual conversation on “PACE and the Future of Healthcare Data Interoperability” with leading guests within healthcare and the PACE community. IntusCare CEO Robbie Felton moderated the discussion with Shawn Bloom, CEO and president of the National PACE Association (NPA); Dr. David Feinberg, Chairman of Oracle Health; and Stephanie Rock, Vice President of Product & Client Delivery at IntusCare. Team Growth In order to expand its software and services options, IntusCare strategically grew its team, including the addition of key leadership positions. Bharath Kakarla joined as the Senior Vice President of Engineering to lead the technology team, collaborating closely with product and design counterparts to ensure that IntusCare's products and services align seamlessly with customer needs. Stephanie Rock joined as Senior Vice President of Product and Client Delivery, leading the product and design teams to ensure the company meets the needs of IntusCare’s current and future partners.

Market Alert: PESG Releases New Report Highlighting Silexion Therapeutics as an Emerging Leader in the Multi-Billion Dollar Precision Oncology Industry

Global Markets News

PESG Research releases new market update: Silexion Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SLXN) * continues to strengthen its position in the precision oncology landscape with breakthrough preclinical data validating systemic administration of SIL-204, potentially opening new frontiers in treating KRAS-driven cancers. This development comes amid increasing industry appetite for innovative oncology assets, exemplified by recent multi-billion dollar acquisitions. Silexion's latest preclinical findings mark a significant advancement in RNAi therapeutics, with data showing 50% tumor growth reduction and complete necrosis in half of treated tumors after 30 days, sustained therapeutic levels for over 56 days from a single administration, and broad coverage of key KRAS mutations (G12D, G12V, G12R, Q61H, and G13D). These results build upon previous successes, including promising synergy with first-line chemotherapies and the strategic collaboration with Evonik for advanced PLGA microparticle formulation. The precision oncology landscape has witnessed unprecedented consolidation, with Pfizer's $43 billion acquisition of Seagen and AbbVie's $10.1 billion purchase of Immunogen exemplifying the industry's willingness to invest heavily in innovative cancer therapeutics. These transactions reflect a broader industry shift toward precision medicine, particularly in oncology, where targeted therapies command significant premiums. Silexion's emergence as a potentially compelling player stems from its differentiated RNAi approach to targeting one of oncology's most challenging problems, offering broader applicability across multiple KRAS mutations compared to competitors' small molecule inhibitors. The first-generation LODER™ platform has already demonstrated promising Phase 2 results, while the next-generation SIL-204 advances toward clinical trials with successful validation of systemic administration. Notable industry analysts seem to have taken notice, with Maxim Group initiating coverage with a "strong buy" recommendation in November 2024 and an updated price target of $9. As Silexion advances toward clinical trials with SIL-204 and explores expanded development strategies, several key catalysts may lie ahead and could be worth watching closely, including metastasis impact studies, advancement towards next phases of trials, data from additional indications, potential strategic partnerships, and more positioning the company uniquely in the precision oncology landscape at a time when the industry actively seeks innovative solutions for challenging cancers.

Silver Is Helping Power Global Electrification – Sprott's New ETF Offers Pure-Play Exposure To Miners And Physical Silver

Benzinga

By Kyle Anthony, Benzinga With over $33.4 billion in assets under management as of September 2024, Sprott Inc., (NYSE: SII) is a recognized asset manager in North America. The firm is focused on continuing to grow its size and stature with ongoing product development and yearly enhancement of its ETF line-up under its Sprott Asset Management division. Recently, Sprott launched a new ETF offering, the Sprott Silver Miners & Physical Silver ETF (NASDAQ: SLVR ), which it says is the only 1 ETF focused on providing pure-play 2 exposure to silver miners and physical silver. This new solution adds to Sprott’s extensive offering of precious metals and critical materials ETFs, which the company says allow investors to have transparent, liquid access to companies potentially poised to benefit from increasing demand for these metals over time. The Growing Importance Of Silver Silver's value proposition as an investment is well established, as it can be used as a hedge against inflation and has a low correlation with other asset classes. In 2024, silver was a top-performing commodity, returning 20.58%. However, it should be noted that silver’s importance is growing due to rising industrial demand. Silver has grown in importance as the world moves toward electrification, due to its use in solar panels and electric vehicles. As noted in the Silver Institute’s Silver News December 2024 issue, industrial demand was estimated to rise 7% in 2024 to surpass 700 million ounces for the first time. This gain was mainly from green economy applications. As a result of the growing demand for silver, there was a physical deficit for the fourth consecutive year, which helped push the metal price to $35, albeit momentarily, for the first time since 2012. Why Sprott Says The Time To Invest In Silver Is Now Though the growing industrial demand for silver is a top-of-mind rationale for why now is an opportune time to invest in the metal, current macroeconomic developments also support the attractiveness of silver as an investment. As noted in Sprott’s investor presentation for SLVR, the current market environment of lowered interest rates and decelerating inflation have historically been beneficial for silver, as the metal’s price has historically rallied following rate cuts from the U.S. Federal Reserve. As illustrated by Sprott in their presentation, silver and gold have historically rallied during periods of fiat currency debasement, inflation, falling interest rates, economic recoveries and rising geopolitical risks. Sprott notes that in past precious metals bull markets, silver’s rally has been 2x as large as gold, on average. Investing In Silver With Sprott Silver Miners And Physical Silver ETF With the rising industrial demand for silver and the current macroeconomic developments, SLVR provides investors with comprehensive exposure to silver miners, the supply-side companies potentially best positioned to benefit from the increased investment in silver necessary to meet the growing demand for the precious metal. As noted in the Silver Institute’s World Silver Survey 2024, 71.7% of annual silver mine supply was produced as a by-product in 2023. While the share of silver produced from gold mines declined year-on-year from 15.5% to 13.7%, the contribution from copper and lead/zinc operations rose from 25.5% to 26.7% and from 30.3% to 30.8%, respectively. The share of production from primary silver mines was unchanged year-on-year, accounting for 28.3% of mine output in 2023. Given these supply dynamics, increases in the silver price do not necessarily impact the decision to increase production at non-primary silver mines. As such, investors looking to capitalize on the growing demand for silver through investing in silver miners need to take a more targeted approach. The SLVR ETF provides access to a broad universe of silver miners, reflecting the performance of the Nasdaq Sprott Silver Miners™ Index, which is designed to track the performance of a selection of securities in the silver industry, including silver producers, developers and explorers as well as physical silver. Currently, because its index avoids silver-as-a-by-product miners, SLVR provides twice the exposure to silver relative to other silver mining ETF strategies, the company says 3. As the world transitions to a low-carbon economy, investors have an opportunity to participate in innovations that will usher in a new energy ecosystem. Silver could play an increasingly essential role in bringing said innovations to market. SLVR’s exposure to firms focused on producing silver or possessing physical silver could be of interest to investors who believe in the metal’s potential to bring change.

(1) Based on Morningstar’s universe of Precious Metals Sector Equity ETFs as of 14 January 2025. (2) The term “pure-play” relates directly to the fund’s exposure to the total universe of investable, publicly listed securities in the investment strategy. (3) As of 14 January 2025, and based on Sprott’s internal analysis of all currently-listed ETFs seeking exposure to silver miners. IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES & DEFINITIONS An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. To obtain a Sprott Silver Miners & Physical Silver ETF Statutory Prospectus, which contains this and other information, visit https://sprottetfs.com/slvr/prospectus, contact your financial professional or call 1.888.622.1813. Read the Prospectus carefully before investing. The Sprott Silver Miners & Physical Silver ETF is new and has limited operating history. Investors in the Fund should be willing to accept a high degree of volatility in the price of the Fund’s shares and the possibility of significant losses. The Fund will be concentrated in the silver mining industry. As a result, the Fund will be sensitive to changes in, and its performance will depend to a greater extent on, the overall condition of the silver mining industry, highly dependent on the price of silver bullion. The silver and precious metals industry can be significantly affected by competitive pressures, central bank operations, events relating to international political developments, the success of exploration projects, commodity prices, adverse environmental developments and tax and government regulations. An investment in the Fund involves a substantial degree of risk. The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a diversified fund. Shares are not individually redeemable. Investors buy and sell shares of the Sprott Silver Miners & Physical Silver ETF on a secondary market. Only market makers or “authorized participants” may trade directly with the Fund, typically in blocks of 10,000 shares. Funds that emphasize investments in small/mid-cap companies will generally experience greater price volatility. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of investment losses. ETFs are considered to have continuous liquidity because they allow an individual to trade throughout the day. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses, affect the Fund’s performance. The Sprott Silver Miners & Physical Silver ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, generally correspond to the total return performance of the Nasdaq Sprott Silver Miners™ Index (NSLVR™).

The interactive dashboard allows users to explore homelessness trends across multiple geographic areas - from national and state levels to local communities, U.S. Congressional districts, and state legislative districts. New features help school districts assess whether they may be under-identifying students experiencing homelessness and highlight districts that are categorized as "severely underfunded" - those that have identified students experiencing homelessness but do not receive McKinney-Vento subgrants to serve them. Users can also compare educational outcomes between homeless students and their housed peers through critical indicators such as chronic absenteeism and graduation rates.

ZenaTech Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA): Harnessing AI, Drones, and Quantum Computing to Revolutionize Industries

ZENA

Artificial intelligence is no longer a buzzword—it’s reshaping industries and redefining competitive advantages. As global AI spending is projected to soar to $337 billion by 2025 (IDC), much of this investment is flowing into companies embedding AI into real-world operations. From streamlining agriculture to managing natural disasters, AI is powering transformative solutions in unexpected areas. While industry giants dominate headlines, innovative up-and-comers like ZenaTech Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) are tackling critical challenges with practical AI applications. Unlike the tech behemoths, ZenaTech focuses on integrating AI into essential industries—agriculture, wildfire management, and defense—where efficient solutions can have immediate and meaningful impact. This approach, coupled with ZenaTech’s commitment to cutting-edge technologies like Quantum Computing and its accessible Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS) model, positions the company as a rising star in the AI-driven transformation of traditional sectors. ZenaTech: Driving Innovation with AI, Quantum Computing, and Drones ZENA continues to push the boundaries of technological innovation through its focus on AI-driven drones, Quantum Computing, and its scalable Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS) business model. The company is making headlines with its acquisitions, geographical expansion, and groundbreaking solutions aimed at addressing real-world challenges in industries like agriculture, disaster management, and land surveying. Expanding Through Acquisitions in the Southeast ZENA recently announced its fourth Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire a land survey engineering firm in Florida, solidifying its presence in the Southeast U.S. region. This acquisition supports ZenaTech’s vision of creating a national DaaS network, offering AI-powered drone solutions to industries and government agencies. The ZenaDrone 1000, a multifunction AI-powered drone, will play a central role in helping Florida manage natural disasters, particularly hurricanes. With an average cost of $22.8 billion in damages per hurricane, according to the Office for Coastal Management, the deployment of drone swarms for real-time data collection, search and rescue, and resource allocation has the potential to significantly improve response efficiency and reduce costs. This acquisition follows two others completed earlier this month, forming the foundation of ZenaTech’s national DaaS rollout. The company’s roll-up strategy targets established land survey engineering firms with experienced teams and a proven customer base, leveraging their expertise to enhance drone-based surveying operations. Drone Swarms: Revolutionizing Disaster Management A key component of ZenaTech’s innovation is its AI-powered drone swarms. These drones work collaboratively using advanced algorithms to share data, coordinate flight paths, and adapt dynamically to changing conditions. In hurricane-prone areas like Florida, they can assist with disaster preparation and recovery by mapping high-risk areas, monitoring real-time weather and environmental data, conducting search-and-rescue operations using GPS and thermal imaging, and delivering supplies to inaccessible regions. These advancements are part of ZenaTech’s larger Sky Traffic project, which combines drone swarm technology with Quantum Computing algorithms to process vast amounts of real-time data. By hiring experts in physics and Quantum Computing, the company aims to optimize disaster response and other high-value applications. Quantum Computing: Amplifying AI’s Impact ZenaTech’s integration of Quantum Computing into its AI solutions sets it apart from competitors. Quantum technology enhances data processing speeds and precision, enabling groundbreaking applications in fields such as wildfire prevention and enterprise operations. For example, predictive analytics powered by Quantum Computing allow ZenaTech’s drones to forecast wildfire outbreaks with remarkable accuracy by analyzing weather, vegetation, and terrain data. Additionally, Quantum-enhanced AI is being developed to streamline workforce scheduling, logistics, and operational planning, diversifying ZenaTech’s revenue streams and targeting the $4 billion Quantum Computing market. Drone-as-a-Service: A Scalable Business Model ZenaTech’s DaaS model offers a cost-effective, pay-as-you-go solution for businesses and government agencies, eliminating the need for high upfront investments in drone hardware and software. Industries like construction, agriculture, and oil and gas benefit from ZenaTech’s advanced drone capabilities for applications such as land surveying, crop management, compliance, and safety inspections. This approach mirrors the success of platforms like Amazon Web Services, with ZenaTech owning the drones and employing trained pilots, allowing customers to focus on leveraging the technology’s benefits without operational burdens. The U.S. Surveying and Mapping Services industry, valued at $10.3 billion and growing at 3% annually, represents a significant market opportunity for ZenaTech’s drone-driven disruption. International Growth and Market Expansion In addition to its U.S. operations, ZenaTech’s listing on the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV) under the symbol “ZENA” marks a milestone in its international expansion. This move provides greater liquidity for shareholders and broadens the company’s exposure to international investors. "This additional listing not only enhances our global reach but also aligns with our goal of delivering shareholder value as we expand into new geographical markets,” said CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D. Why Investors Should Watch ZenaTech ZenaTech’s unique combination of AI, Quantum Computing, and practical applications positions it at the forefront of multiple high-growth industries. The company is addressing markets with substantial growth potential, including the $10.3 billion land surveying industry and the $1.5 trillion AI market by 2030. By integrating Quantum Computing with AI, ZenaTech delivers advanced solutions that tackle complex challenges in disaster management, agriculture, and beyond. Its DaaS model ensures consistent cash flow, while its expertise in navigating FAA certification and regulatory landscapes demonstrates readiness for scalable growth. Disclaimers: RazorPitch Inc.
