Ping An Ranks #1 in Top 100 Global Digital Health Patents for 2018-2020

PR Newswire

HONG KONG and SHANGHAI, Dec. 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd. (hereafter “Ping An” or the “Group”, HKEX: 02318; SSE: 601318) leads the world with 1,074 patent applications in the “Top 100 Global Digital Health Patents for 2018-2020”, jointly issued by the China Digital Technology Development Working Committee (CDTC) and 01 Caijing magazine. Ping An is followed by Netherlands-headquartered Philips (1,021 applications) and Johnson & Johnson of the US (535 applications).

From 2018-2020, Ping An’s 1,074 digital health patent applications were mainly focused on scenarios of smart diagnosis and treatment assistants, patient record management, medical image processing, medicine management and smart hospital management.

Ping An also ranked first in the country and third in the world with 9,255 patents in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) in the “Top 100 Global AI Patents Ranking for 2018-2020” jointly issued by CDTC and 01 Caijing.

The global digital health patents ranking is a testament to the significant efforts of medical institutions and healthtech companies in China. By country, China also tops the list of global digital health patents with 23,100 applications for 2018-2020, followed by the US (9,100 applications) and Japan (2,700 applications). The CDTC noted that compared with the US, China started later in the development of digital health but industry giants such as Ping An have provided creativity and influence for the development of the digital health field.

Since the State Council issued the Opinions on Promoting the Development of “Internet plus Health Care” in 2018, digital health’s development in China has achieved remarkable results. From 2018 to 2020, nearly 8,000 applicants in China participated in 23,100 patent applications, surpassing developed countries such as the US, Japan and South Korea. China represented more than 50% of patent applications and patent applicants in that time, among a global total of 44,500 digital health patent applications, more than 80 countries and 14,000 applicants, including companies, universities, hospitals, government authorities, research institutions and individuals.

According to the ranking, there are two significant development trends in China’s digital health field: 1) Technology industry giants represented by Ping An, Baidu, Huawei and Tencent entered the field of digital health to compete for the rapidly growing health care market expected to reach RMB16 trillion by 2030; and 2) Looking at the patent applications and the launch of medical devices, the development of smart diagnosis and treatment assistant tools is the focus in the short term.

The global digital health patents list also shows that in addition to medical institutions and healthtech companies, major players from different industries are also involved in the development of digital health sector. In China, these include Ping An from the finance industry, Tencent from the internet industry and Yitu from AI industry.

Since 1996, Ping An has invested in health care development and has accumulated rich experience and strong technological capability. It is committed to actively assist with the execution of “Healthy China”, a national strategy, to improve people’s health, seize market development opportunities and create greater value. As of 30 June 2020, Ping An Good Doctor, the internet medical platform with the highest number of visits in China, provided diagnoses for over 3,000 common diseases for 346 million users, and managed an average of 830,000 consultations a day. Ping An Health Technology Research Institute has built one of the largest medical databases in the world, and has ranked first in six international competitions in medical images. The database covers over 30,000 types of diseases, more than 1 billion medical consultation records, and more than 300 million applications. Ping An Smart Healthcare provides end-to-end solutions to regulatory bodies and the health care system, supporting social health insurers, commercial health insurers, and medical service providers, to ensure the speedy operation of China’s healthcare system.

Ping An’s principle of “serving the country, society and public” through its “finance + ecosystem” strategy, includes a commitment to technological development to achieve world-class standards in areas including fintech, healthtech, AI and blockchain. Ping An has a technology team of nearly 110,000 technology business employees and over 3,000 scientists and has established eight research institutes and 57 laboratories.

Ping An attaches great importance to developing core technologies and securing intellectual property. As of 30 September 2020, Ping An’s technology patent applications increased by 6,654 from the beginning of 2020 to 28,037, more than most other international financial institutions. Of these applications, nearly 96% were invention patents and 6,908 were filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) or abroad. Ping An has ranked first in fintech for published patent applications for two consecutive years. Its multiple technological innovations have received awards in areas including AI and blockchain.

The top 10 enterprises on the global digital health patents ranking are: Ping An (1,074 applications), Philips (1,021 applications), Johnson & Johnson (535 applications), Siemens (503 applications), IBM (395 applications), United Imaging (367 applications), Canon (346 applications), Tencent (251 applications), Samsung (233 applications) and General Electric (221 applications).

Beginning on January 4, 2021, the Company’s common stock will trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market and the Toronto Stock Exchange on a split adjusted basis.

Upon effectiveness, the reverse stock split will cause a reduction in the number of shares of common stock outstanding and issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants in proportion to the ratio of the reverse split, and will cause a proportionate increase in the conversion and exercise prices of such stock options and warrants.

Any fraction of a share of Common Stock that would be created as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded down to the next whole share and the stockholder will receive cash equal to the market value of the fractional share, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing sales price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq on the last trading day before the Reverse Stock Split becomes effective (on a split-adjusted basis).

The number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock will remain at 150 million, while the number of outstanding shares will be reduced from approximately 51.9 million to approximately 1.5 million. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “HSDT” and on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “HSM.” The new CUSIP number for the common stock following the reverse split is 42328V 603.

The previous operator had not been paying taxes nor rent, and we were able to secure the facility and its operations at a significant discount. The Company was please it was able to negotiate in a private transaction the repurchase of shares during the quarter and at a respectable price. After being 9 months behind on financials, we are currently up to date on all SEC filings of our quarterly reports. We look forward to the completion of the corporate rebranding effort and filing our annual report. We will continue to build out the management team in the coming months to ensure our managed growth. Unfortunately, similar to others in our industry, Covid-19 was a factor during the quarter, specifically at our Tulsa facilities which resulted in a lower than anticipated impact to our census and bottom line. We had a higher-than-normal amount of write offs of bad receivables from the transfer of operations in 2019. On the whole, we are very pleased with the new direction the company is moving towards, and I look forward to 2021 and the improvements we are beginning to deploy.”

“Coffee and Cars” Monthly Showcase Increasing Foot Traffic by 26% at Whitestone’s Market Street at DC Ranch

HOUSTON, Dec. 31, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Scuderia Southwest’s “Coffee and Cars” will be starting the New Year off with another high-octane event at Whitestone REIT’s Market Street at DC Ranch property in North Scottsdale, Arizona. The monthly Scottsdale Motorsports Gathering brings its collection of Ferraris, Fords, Lamborghinis, Bentleys and other rare and exotic cars back to Whitestone’s highly desirable DC Ranch property and has become a significant foot traffic driver to the property, increasing traffic 26% on the Saturdays the event is held as compared to other Saturdays in the month.

The highly anticipated event, which gathers on the first Saturday of every month, began in October at DC Ranch and kicks off again this Saturday, January 2nd at 7am, Mountain Standard Time. Market Street at DC Ranch is located at 20789 North Pima Road, and has hosted over 150 exotic cars per event, and that number continues to grow.

However, we admittedly did not anticipate this type of successful response so quickly! Foot traffic to our property has increased significantly, up 26%, which in turn has helped our tenants grow sales.” Mr. Mastandrea concluded, “Given the overwhelmingly positive response we have received from our Arizona neighbors, we envision hosting similar events at other Whitestone properties in our Texas markets in the future.”

SunHydrogen Provides End-of-Year Corporate Update

The Company overview details the status of the Gen 1 and Gen 2 programs, strategic partnerships, and other corporate milestones and goals

SANTA BARBARA, CA , Dec. 31, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SunHydrogen, Inc. (OTC:HYSR), the developer of a breakthrough technology to produce renewable hydrogen using sunlight and water, today shared an end of year business and technology development update.

The Gen 1 program was designed to provide a clear proof of concept and demonstrate the potential for scalable growth, and ultimately commercial viability. Currently, SunHydrogen is completing the build-out of the 100 prototype solar hydrogen units that include solar cell assembly with applied coatings and catalysts, and the housing for safe hydrogen collection. For the manufacturing of the solar hydrogen panels for demonstration, the Company is working with Suzhou GH New Energy Tech Co., LTD and Suzhou Maimaosi Sensor Technology Co., LTD, both based in Suzhou, China. The Gen 1 technology uses multi-junction amorphous silicon solar cells.

In 2019, the company demonstrated 1000 hours of continuous hydrogen production utilizing Gen 1 cell technology. While the overall efficiency of the cells is low, SunHydrogen has gained significant and valuable insight during experimentation for the development of its Gen 2 nanoparticle technology. SunHydrogen anticipates completing the 100 demonstration units in the beginning of Q2 of 2021, enabling the Company to leverage them as further proof of concept as the Company looks to accelerate its nano-technology development. For a more efficient use of resources, these 100 demonstration units that were previously earmarked for one large demonstration pilot plant, will be put on display as smaller demonstration centers in global locations to demonstrate how sunlight and water can be used to produce hydrogen. The infrastructure required for a large plant is well documented, and demonstrating its function with the Gen 1 panels is not relevant to the Company’s overall goal of commercializing its Gen 2 nanoparticle technology.   

SunHydrogen’s Gen 2 program is one that the Company believes is most economical from a technology and commercial viability standpoint. By gaining and leveraging insights from the Gen 1 program, Gen 2 technology is well positioned to attain three times the solar-to-hydrogen efficiency and represents a potential tipping point for market-changing hydrogen production. The Company is now working with two different companies – one in Colorado and one in Germany – that are fabricating and testing the manufacturability of Gen 2 technology structure at sizes needed for commercial viability.

“SunHydrogen has achieved a number of milestones this year spanning technology development and our capital structure, positioning us well for growth within the hydrogen fuel sector,” said Tim Young, CEO of SunHydrogen, Inc. “Well-funded and with strategic partners in place, we are laser-focused on completing the Gen 1 program and continuing to leverage our technology as a proof of concept, while adding the necessary resources and partners to advance the Gen 2 program and establish a commercial partnership. As hydrogen fuel – and more specifically green hydrogen – continues to garner attention from customers and investors alike, we anticipate 2021 being an impactful year for SunHydrogen.”

About SunHydrogen, Inc.

SunHydrogen is developing a breakthrough, low-cost technology to make renewable hydrogen using sunlight and any source of water, including seawater and wastewater. Unlike hydrocarbon fuels, such as oil, coal and natural gas, where carbon dioxide and other contaminants are released into the atmosphere when used, hydrogen fuel usage produces pure water as the only byproduct. By optimizing the science of water electrolysis at the nano-level, our low-cost nanoparticles mimic photosynthesis to efficiently use sunlight to separate hydrogen from water, ultimately producing environmentally friendly renewable hydrogen. Using our low-cost method to produce renewable hydrogen, we intend to enable a world of distributed hydrogen production for renewable electricity and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.  To learn more about SunHydrogen, please visit our website at www.SunHydrogen.com.
