Partners In Leadership Releases Propeller™ App Update with Popular Recognition Tool


Focused Recognition

Focused Recognition

“Focused Recognition is a simple, highly effective tool that our clients use to manage culture and inspire greater levels of accountability.”

Partners In Leadership LLC, the firm which guides clients in defining Key Results™, shaping Cultural Beliefs®, and solving Accountability Gaps, releases updates to Propeller, the leadership app that focuses and aligns individuals around critical business outcomes. Among the firm’s most popular culture-shaping tools, Focused Recognition makes its digital debut in the Propeller 2.0 update.

“Focused Recognition is a simple, highly effective tool that our clients use to manage culture and inspire greater levels of accountability,” said Brent Barton, President and CEO of Partners In Leadership. “We designed a digital version of this popular tool to help organizational leaders extend their reach and impact through in-the-moment recognition of positive workplace behavior.”

The Focused Recognition feature is among the suite of tools on Propeller App that create greater engagement and positive accountability. These tools include: Key Results, to align team members around the top-priority results and allows team members to connect how their daily tasks directly impact achieving those results; Feedback, a tool that allows all team members to offer and seek direct and insightful feedback to discover areas of personal growth that most impacts team success; Solve It®, a collaboration platform to identify and crowdsource solutions to problems as they arise; and Wisdom, award-winning accountability models and methodologies to further your team’s productivity and success levels.

In addition to adding Focused Recognition to the app, leaders now have the capability to add the team’s Cultural Beliefs to the dashboard. These Cultural Beliefs bring focus to a team and organization, giving members clarity around what actions lead to desired results.

“We’ve seen a rising demand for technology that instills accountability and alignment across organizations,” Barton said. “Workforces are more dispersed, diverse, and under pressure to deliver results quicker than ever. We designed Propeller to help leaders accelerate culture change and align everyone around a united vision.”

Along with the app update, leaders and teams can find new webinars and articles on the Propeller website to develop accountability and leadership skills.

AQYR Announces Participation in Viasat’s Government Terminal Modification Kit Program


“We are excited to be working with Viasat to provide an affordable, resilient communications capability to our DoD and international coalition partners,” said Carl D’Alessandro, president of AQYR Technologies, Inc.

AQYR Technologies, Inc., a New Hampshire based manufacturer of rugged, portable, tactical satellite communications (SATCOM) terminals, announced it will participate in Viasat’s government-focused terminal modification kit program, which will enable AQYR’s terminals to interoperate with Viasat’s current and next-generation high-capacity SATCOM networks, including hybrid, multi-network architectures. Hybrid, multi-network SATCOM architectures will allow military users to easily roam among commercial and purpose-built defense satellite networks.

Enabling interoperability between AQYR’s terminals and Viasat’s SATCOM networks provides assurance to U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and international coalition forces that their current inventory of SATCOM terminals will be able to access Viasat’s next-generation, high-capacity satellite networks by simple updates to existing terminals without the need to purchase new equipment.

“We welcome companies like AQYR, who have committed to join us in creating a path to simplify technology logistics and lower total cost of ownership in relation to defense SATCOM networks,” said Ken Peterman, president, Government Systems, Viasat. “Our terminal modification kit will help U.S. DoD and international military forces quickly implement an end-to-end hybrid architecture to support their diverse mission sets while using interoperable terminals on the best available SATCOM networks.”

Hybrid networks can maximize subscriber capabilities and resilience by providing simultaneous access to multiple networks. These networks may span multiple orbital regimes, operate over multiple frequency bands, provide independent terrestrial infrastructure and feature different network management and cyber defense capabilities, providing inherent diversity and removing single points of failure and/or attack. Due to load balancing, different service level agreements, network congestion, weather and other attributes, the user population of hybrid networks will be spread across multiple transport networks. This will make it difficult for an adversary to target their communications capabilities for collection, exploitation or denial.

For more information on hybrid networking, please visit Viasat’s website.

About AQYR

AQYR Technologies, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Windmill International, Inc., provides innovative satellite communications products and solutions to a broad range of DoD, international defense, and enterprise customers. AQYR’s advanced, lightweight, easy to set-up ground satellite communications terminals support a variety of missions in benign to severe environments. AQYR, based in Nashua, New Hampshire, is a veteran founded, employee owned small business.

EMulate Therapeutics® Inks Distribution Agreement for India with Sayre Therapeutics


EMulate Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage therapeutic device company developing non-invasive treatments for cancers and other serious diseases, announced it has entered into an exclusive agreement for the distribution of the company’s proprietary Voyager ulRFE® system for treatment of patients with selected brain cancer indications – both recurrent and newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) and diffuse midline glioma (DMG), in India. The exclusive distributor is Sayre Therapeutics (Sayre), a Bangalore, India-based company that provides access to differentiated medical solutions to patients and clinicians in emerging markets by identifying high unmet needs across the healthcare continuum. Sayre Therapeutics is a specialty biotech dealing with innovative treatments, medical devices and diagnostics commercialization in South Asia. Sayre is backed by institutional investors and has a portfolio of oncology, interventional oncology and immunology drugs, drug delivery devices and diagnostics.

Chris Rivera, EMulate Therapeutics President and Chief Executive Officer, made the announcement stating, “This agreement with Sayre is EMulate’s second agreement with a highly-regarded international firm, the first being with Teijin Pharma Limited in Japan. Sayre is a natural fit for distributing the Voyager system as they focus on orphan therapeutics, especially cancer, as well as their current detailing of brain cancer doctors to promote products to treat GBM and DMG.”

“We are very excited about this agreement for Voyager and Hӕlo™ distribution with Sayre,” stated Michael Mischke-Reeds, Senior Vice President of Business Development for EMulate Therapeutics. “The agreement continues EMulate’s business plan for wide-spread international distribution of the Voyager and Hӕlo system with the potential to treat a number of forms of cancers and other serious diseases in children and adults.”

Ravindranath Kunjithai, Vice President and Head, Medical & Regulatory affairs at Sayre Therapeutics mentioned that “GBM is an aggressive and common malignant tumor, affecting 5000 to 7000 patients in India, with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Since 2003 until now there have been only two FDA approvals, pointing to the unmet therapeutic need in this field. The Voyager ulRFE system is a novel concept that has shown good results in the clinical trials for GBM. Emulate has developed this ulRFE technology into a non-invasive and easy to use device in home/office surroundings, that will have far reaching positive outcomes on the Indian GBM patients.”

“Voyager is in alignment with our philosophy of launching first-in-class products that improve survival and quality of life of Indian patients,” stated Shukrit Chimote, Chief Executive Officer at Sayre Therapeutics. “Sayre Therapeutics is excited to strengthen its neuro-oncology portfolio with the addition of Voyager and Hӕlo to the existing targeted drug-delivery options, such as carmustine wafers This further reinforces our commitment to the burgeoning home healthcare market for life threatening diseases. EMulate received ISO 13485:2016, a prerequisite for a CE Mark, in May of this year; as well as receiving MDSAP (Medical Device Single Audit Program) certification in July, which is pertinent to registration in other geographies. An application for a CE Mark in the European Union was announced in August.

About EMulate Therapeutics

Headquartered in Seattle, EMulate Therapeutics is a clinical-stage therapeutic device company. EMulate has invented and patented a groundbreaking technology that utilizes precisely targeted ultra-low radio frequency energy (ulRFE®) to specifically regulate metabolic pathways on the molecular and genetic levels – without chemicals, radiation or drugs – delivered via a simple-to-use non-sterile, non-invasive, non-thermal, non-ionizing investigational device. The company’s goal is to transform disease treatment on a global scale with ulRFE, which can potentially be applied to a wide range of medical conditions as well as to veterinary medicine and non-medical applications. EMulate’s initial focus is on the treatment of patients with brain cancer, who are not well served by conventional standard of care therapies, which often result in poor outcomes and devastating side effects. Pre-clinical work is focused on exploring new applications in oncology. In addition, EMulate’s Voyager system for adults with GBM is an investigational medical device in clinical development.

About Sayre Therapeutics

Headquartered in Karnataka, India, Sayre Therapeutics was founded in 2015 with backing from leading institutional investors. The Sayre leadership team boasts 25 years of global executive experience in leading Pharmaceutical, Medical Diagnostics & Devices companies. Sayre Therapeutics has been identified as a high potential healthcare company, a pedigree team with proven wins and a robust clinician network in the Oncology/Immunology space. The company is uniquely positioned with a first-mover advantage, which allows for it to quickly create a portfolio of differentiated global assets in emerging markets. The company’s geographic footprint covers India, South Asian and South-East Asian countries which are witnessing a high growth rate across the disease areas of interest. Sayre Therapeutics with its focused strategy, strong financial backing and established relationships with clinicians and regulatory know-how, is nimble and to that end, will prove to be a committed partner to licensors for their global assets.

FoodLogiQ Makes Rapid Gains in CPG Industry, Welcoming Laird Superfood to Growing List of Customers


“Laird Superfood has joined an elite group of food safety forerunners who are proactively streamlining their operations while answering the call for greater transparency for their consumers.” – Sean O’Leary, FoodLogiQ CEO

FoodLogiQ, the leading provider of food safety, traceability, and supply chain transparency software, is quickly becoming the solution of choice for consumer packaged goods companies pursuing global supply chain visibility, streamlined supplier management, and quality issue tracking and reporting. Among the CPG companies to recently join FoodLogiQ’s growing customer base is Laird Superfood.

The consumer packaged goods industry faces a host of supply chain and food safety challenges, many of which relate to quick and easy access to data and technology. As consumer demand for transparency grows and regulatory standards become more stringent, the industry must strive to meet these expectations while maximizing efficiency across their operations. An increasing number of CPG businesses are turning to technology to help automate and improve their supplier engagement, traceability, case-level labeling and food safety efforts.

“FoodLogiQ is expanding at a rapid pace in the CPG industry, and we are pleased to welcome Laird Superfood to our growing list of customers,” said Sean O’Leary, FoodLogiQ CEO. “They have joined an elite group of food safety forerunners who are proactively streamlining their operations while answering the call for greater transparency for their consumers. FoodLogiQ is committed to providing our new customers with the visual and analytical reporting that will help drive strategic decisions for their businesses.”

With FoodLogiQ Connect, CPG companies are working to:


  • Transition out of spreadsheets and emails and to engage with suppliers in a centralized, online communications platform.
  • Manage supplier approvals, keep notes on suppliers, and message directly with them.
  • Build and monitor a Supplier Dashboard to see exactly which suppliers have expired documentation and failed audits and which suppliers have the most quality incidents.
  • Ease compliance woes with streamlined supplier documentation and template workflows to ssemble food safety plans, implement corrective actions, support supplier verification, and centralize required recordkeeping.
  • Capture and track quality issues with FoodLogiQ’s mobile app to document quality issues when products are received.

Customer Spotlight: FoodLogiQ and Compass Group Collaborate on Supplier Management

As the largest contract foodservice company in the world, UK-based Compass Group has operations in 50 countries and employs more than 600,000 people around the globe. This multinational company expanded its reach to the United States in 1994 and has since become the leading foodservice supplier to restaurants, hospitals, arenas, corporate offices, museums, K-12 schools, and college campuses. With more than 3,000 different suppliers and tens of thousands of products, the task of managing all of the required documentation is a massive undertaking.

Jeff Mann, Director of Quality at Compass, says supplier management is an integral part of protecting the Compass brand, as well as their stakeholders. That’s why the company selected FoodLogiQ Connect’s Manage + Monitor to help them streamline their supplier management and to provide visibility into their supply chain.

“We had a very basic automated supplier management system that promised a wide variety of capabilities, but it didn’t deliver,” explains Mann. “It was very limited in the functions it allowed us to perform, and if we wanted to make changes, we had to ask the service provider to do it. That’s inefficient. We wanted an off-the-shelf system that was flexible enough for us to manage ourselves. FoodLogiQ had all the requirements to help us accomplish that goal.”

For more information, please visit http://www.foodlogiq.com.

About FoodLogiQ

FoodLogiQ® LLC is the leading SaaS provider of traceability, food safety and supply chain transparency solutions. FoodLogiQ Connect is the most comprehensive, data-driven software solution that enables supplier management, food safety compliance, quality incident management, recall management and whole chain traceability – all on a single platform built exclusively for the food industry. To meet mounting regulatory requirements and consumer demands for transparency, food companies are leveraging FoodLogiQ Connect to validate supplier compliance with food safety and act with confidence in the event of a food safety or quality issue.

Elemental Machines Partners with Advanced LIMS Manufacturer


News Image

The Elemental Machines platform gives laboratory personnel peace of mind that their valuable assets are protected.

Elemental Machines (EM) has partnered with Accelerated Technology Laboratories, Inc. (ATL), a leader in Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), to combine EM’s continuous data collection technology with ATL’s LIMS solutions.

The addition of EM’s wireless sensor measurements to ATL’s TITAN® or Sample Master® LIMS will allow customers to monitor the temperature of laboratory equipment such as freezers, refrigerators, incubators, humidity chambers, greenhouses or ovens in real-time. In addition to equipment monitoring they can use the Element-A for ambient monitoring, including the ability to monitor temperature, humidity, pressure and light. This best-in-class technology combination will allow users to affordably meet regulatory compliance goals, enhance data quality and maximize resources.

The Elemental Machines platform gives laboratory personnel peace of mind that their valuable assets are protected. It also saves them time and improves the accuracy of their studies with its AI-powered platform. Instruments and environments are monitored 24/7 for out of range conditions with all data automatically stored in the Cloud.

ATL is introducing this capability as Monitor Plus, a continuous automated monitoring solution, which includes intelligent, wireless sensors that install easily and transmit data via WiFi with a cellular backup in case of a power outage or network interruption. The continuous flow of data is stored in the Cloud, and the Dashboard is a powerful browser-based data analysis tool that provides a wealth of monitoring data plus the ability to provide real-time alerts, 24/7, via text messaging, for potential out of compliance situations to enable rapid mitigation.

“We are delighted to partner with ATL to integrate our Internet of Things network into ATL’s LIMS, providing customers with a continuous data record of their equipment and environment to enable alerting and monitoring, regulatory compliance and accelerating their scientific discovery,” said Robert Pemberton, Vice President of Commercial Operations at Elemental Machines.

“ATL is very excited about adding Monitor Plus, the cutting-edge wireless monitoring technology, as a powerful feature for our TITAN and Sample Master LIMS customers,” said Dr. Christine Paszko, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at ATL. “This will allow laboratories to visualize the temperature and asset data for a more complete understanding of performance, trends and compliance.”

Elemental Machines, based in Cambridge, MA, uses new tools such as IoT, predictive analytics, and data science for process optimization. Access and interpretation of large data volumes is easier thanks to these tools, whose applications are far-reaching: improved processes for biopharma, chemistry, clinical, agriculture and veterinary industries.

ATL, headquartered in West End, NC, provides laboratory automation solutions to a variety of industries from analytical, environmental, food & beverage, water and wastewater, chemical, government, public health, clinical testing, forensics and manufacturing.

Membersy Acquires The CDI Group

Membersy LLC (“membersy”), the Austin-based digital health company that provides dental practices with thoughtfully designed membership programs to make dental care more approachable, is pleased to announce the acquisition of The CDI Group Inc. (“The CDI Group”), a California-based Knox-Keene licensed dental benefits company that administers custom discount dental plans on behalf of more than 3,000 dental practices across 42 states.

The acquisition will combine the core competencies and scale of The CDI Group with membersy’s industry leading subscription-based technology, marketing and administration solutions currently utilized by over 1,000 dental practices spanning across 28 states. The CDI Group created the modern dental membership model, and membersy’s success in this space has been based on refining that model by embracing tech and engaging practices at the local level.

“Today’s consumers have come to expect a highly personal and connected experience in everything they do. It’s time dentistry met those expectations,” said Eric Johnson, founder & CEO of membersy. “We’re deeply passionate about membership dentistry, the dentist-led movement that dramatically improves patient experiences and outcomes, and are committed to doing our part to further the movement by providing dental professionals nationwide with the tools and support needed to offer patients a top-notch membership experience that’s second to none.”

“Membersy has impressed me with the way that they have elevated the dental membership experience,” said Neil Schroeder, co-founder and CEO of The CDI Group. “When we evaluated this opportunity, we identified a natural fit with membersy with respect to company culture and a shared commitment to regulatory compliance, and I’m confident that our partners at CDI will be in good hands.”

The acquisition comes at a time when the industry is experiencing significant changes to the delivery of dental care, and signals that the antiquated dental insurance model is ripe for disruption. Currently only 77% of Americans have dental coverage but only 50% of those visit a dentist in a year. According to the Health Policy Institute (HPI), between 2013-2016, 15.2% of the U.S. population reported needing dental care but did not obtain it due to cost. Additionally, unlike medical insurance, which covers costs after the bills reach the amount of the deductible, dental insurance cuts off coverage after a patient meets the annual limit. If coverage had kept up with the rates of inflation, the average annual maximums would be close to $10,000 vs $1,500 they are today.

The acquisition agreement for an undisclosed amount was signed on October 11, 2019, and is currently pending approval from the California Department of Managed Care.
