DENVER, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Theralink Technologies (OTC: OBMP) (“Theralink” or the “Company”), a molecular profiling company specializing in patented, biomarker assay services that target multiple areas of oncology, today issued a letter to shareholders from its President and CEO, Mick Ruxin, M.D., providing a 2020 year-end recap and vision for the path ahead in 2021.

Dear Shareholders:

2020 was a transformative year for Theralink Technologies. In June, we successfully closed OncBioMune Pharmaceuticals’ asset purchase of Avant Diagnostics and changed the corporate name to Theralink® Technologies Inc. In September, Theralink emerged as a proteomics-based, molecular profiling and precision medicine company targeting multiple areas of oncology and drug development. Going forward we will continue to work on several other key aspects of our evolution as a public company, including our stock symbol change and updated financial statements with the SEC, which we anticipate to all be completed during the first half of 2021.

In addition to my appointment as President and CEO, we have added experienced professionals to our leadership team through three key hires. We welcomed Kris Weinberg as Director of Commercial Oncology Markets, Michael Fanelli as Senior Director of Biopharma Commercial Operations and Tom Chilcott as Chief Financial Officer, who all bring extensive experience in their respective fields and have hit the ground running as part of our team.

Over the past six-months, we have worked diligently to lay the foundation for our growth in 2021. Notably, we received Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certification for our Golden, Colorado laboratory, which took two years to achieve. CLIA certification enables us to expand our testing capabilities and we will soon begin receiving, testing and billing for patient’s breast cancer tumor specimens.

As part of our growth strategy ahead, we have established several strategic agreements:

In July, we announced a multi-year strategic agreement with VieCure™, the developer of the proprietary VieCure™ platform, a real-time decision-support system that combines clinical knowledge with patient data to assist oncologists in generating personalized treatment plans and managing a patient’s care throughout his or her cancer therapy. Through our agreement, VieCure’s physician network has access to Theralink’s generation of testing for cancer patients, extending VieCure™’s genomics platform to now include phosphoprotein and protein-based information. We believe that the potential reach of their physician network leveraging our assay is substantial.

In September, we announced our translational research collaboration with BioMed Valley Discoveries (BVD) to provide Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) and Reverse Phase Protein Array (RPPA) services to assist BVD with translational research. We believe that this research could potentially improve treatment outcomes and quality of life for all cancer patients.

In November 2020, we announced our agreement with Perthera, a market leader in Precision Oncology technology and services whose platform has been utilized by over 250 cancer care sites. The alliance was formed to facilitate and accelerate access to Theralink’s 32 phosphoprotein panel, the Theralink® assay, across Perthera’s wide reach in the U.S. for breast cancer patients and the oncologists who treat them.

With many key milestones under our belt for 2020, there remains no shortage of opportunity as we head into 2021. In addition to the signing of our translational research collaboration with BioMed Valley Discoveries in September 2020, we have successfully signed multiple other biopharma collaboration agreements to date, all of which are generating revenue. In 2021, we not only expect to expand these existing relationships, but we will also continue to sign multiple other collaborative agreements.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment. The Theralink team looks forward to a prosperous 2021!

Sincerely,

Mick Ruxin, M.D.

BURLINGTON, Mass., Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that Rush University Medical Center (Rush) has expanded its use of the Nuance® Dragon Ambient eXperience™ (DAX™) ambient clinical intelligence (ACI) solution to 14 clinical specialties to help relieve the burden of clinical documentation and physician burnout, while improving the patient experience during in-person and telehealth visits. The 14 clinical specialties, including otolaryngology, plastic surgery, urology, and orthopedics, were selected based on the specialty’s workflow and clinical documentation needs.

“The clinical documentation burden has long been a pain point for our clinicians, making it difficult to bill and code accurately, which is an important piece of revenue integrity,” said Dr. Jordan Dale, Acting Chief Medical Informatics Officer at Rush. “Nuance DAX allows us to fill the gaps in the patient narrative and improve clinical documentation by providing more complete and accurate notes. More importantly, it allows our doctors to be doctors and gives them the mental space to focus on what matters – delivering empathy and expert care for which they trained.”

Deployments of Nuance DAX are increasing as more healthcare organizations recognize ambient clinical intelligence technology’s transformative benefits for reducing physician burnout, improving financial integrity, and enhancing the patient experience. Nuance DAX extends the proven power of Nuance Dragon Medical, already trusted by over 550,000 physicians globally, with the latest AI-powered advancements to create a fully voice-enabled and ambient exam room environment. The system securely captures, contextualizes, and automatically creates detailed clinical notes from multi-party conversations during on-site and virtual encounters with patient consent. It enables physicians to stay fully engaged with patients without the need to look away to type or dictate. It also improves clinical documentation quality and physician satisfaction by ensuring that the complete patient story is captured while reducing the time needed to update clinical documentation.

In order to reduce physicians’ administrative workloads, enable them to focus on patients during visits instead of computer screens, and free time to see more patients, Rush decided to expand the Nuance DAX deployment following a pilot program. Pilot participants found they were able to increase their number of patients seen per clinic day – which is similar to Nuance DAX deployments at other health systems that increased patient throughput by up to 38 percent.

“Rush is one of our closest partners for Nuance DAX development and shares our vision for how to overcome the challenges facing healthcare organizations with conversational AI and ambient solutions that place patients front and center in care delivery,” said Diana Nole, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Healthcare at Nuance. “The confidence Rush has in Nuance DAX coupled with the growing adoption of our clinical documentation solutions at healthcare systems across the country, shows that we are on the right track to help transform care access, outcomes, and reimbursement accuracy.”
