SimpleNexus and Total Expert Supercharge Integration with Two-Way Data Sync

Always up-to-date contact records enable hyper-personalized marketing that improves loan pull-through and borrower satisfaction

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Total Expert, the fintech company behind the first fully-integrated marketing and customer experience platform for the mortgage and financial services industries, now offers two-way data sync with SimpleNexus, the leading digital mortgage platform for loan officers, borrowers, real estate agents and settlement agents.

SimpleNexus’ full-featured mortgage origination toolset integrates with Total Expert to bring the power of automated marketing to loan originators’ mobile devices, improving efficiency, increasing borrower satisfaction and accelerating loan pull-through rates. Now, automatic data syncing between Total Expert and SimpleNexus makes it effortless for loan officers to keep contact records up-to-date no matter which platform they work in.

“Loan originators need a 360-degree view of their customers no matter what tool they’re using — and, increasingly, they’re working from their mobile devices,” said Total Expert Founder & CEO Joe Welu. “Total Expert makes it easier than ever for loan officers to stay close to contacts before, during and after the loan application.”

Though SimpleNexus and Total Expert connect with most major loan origination systems, their integration is not dependent on lenders’ use of any particular LOS. In fact, lenders can use the combined capabilities of SimpleNexus and Total Expert to send customized marketing messages to prospects before they’ve even begun a loan application. Once the application is underway, Total Expert helps decrease abandonment by automating outreach to both originators and borrowers if an application stalls out along the way.

“Two-way data sharing between SimpleNexus and Total Expert enables hyper-personalized marketing communication and an all-around better experience for loan originators and borrowers alike,” said SimpleNexus CEO Matt Hansen. “As a result, lenders enjoy more funded loans, lower application abandonment and referral business from satisfied customers.”

Scanwell Health’s FDA-Cleared, Smartphone-Enabled UTI Test Kit Now Available at Amazon – Diagnose and Treat in Two Minutes From the Safety of Your Home

First FDA-cleared urinalysis app lets people test from anywhere, skip the waiting room, and get same-day treatment

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Scanwell Health, a developer of at-home lab tests, announced today that it has made its Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) test kits available at Amazon.com, making clinical-grade, at-home UTI testing accessible to anyone. Until now, the kits had been available only at the Scanwell Health website. The test kits are priced at 3 for $15 on Amazon, and are eligible for Prime shipping.

50-60 percent of women will experience a UTI during their lifetime. Scanwell lets people test from anywhere, skip the waiting room, and get same-day treatment. The company combines tried-and-true diagnostics methods used in labs with instant smartphone technology. Its test kits replicate the performance of clinical analyzers using smartphone cameras and computer vision algorithms. Scanwell gained FDA-clearance after demonstrating the same diagnostic accuracy as a urinalysis performed in a clinic.

Once people have their Scanwell test results (which takes two minutes), they can receive a prescription by connecting directly to telehealth providers via their smartphone for treatment. The whole process can take place from the safety of their home and they do not have to visit a doctor’s office.

“We’ve found that many people delay diagnostics and treatment for UTIs because they aren’t able to get to the doctor – especially right now, with many people avoiding trips out of the house,” said Stephen Chen, founder and CEO of Scanwell. “Scanwell’s at-home testing enables people to get a diagnosis and start treatment earlier, so they can avoid urgent care or even an ER visit when things get worse.”

Scanwell is growing quickly and has seen demand for their tests soar in 2020. In addition to offering an at-home UTI test, Scanwell is also working on tests for chronic kidney disease, malaria, and the virus that causes COVID-19.

enables clinical-grade testing, instant results, and professional guidance for comprehensive healthcare from the safety of your home.

Newman-Dailey Launches “Peace of Mind” Special Offer for 2021 Beach Vacations in Destin, Florida

Travelers will be rewarded with a 10% discount on Destin vacation rentals for booking 2021 Florida beach getaways early

Destin, Fla., Dec. 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — While travel experts are optimistic that vacations will resume in 2021, travelers remain cautious about making travel plans for the coming year. Many hotels and accommodations are migrating to direct check-in, enhanced sanitization, and cleaning protocols as well as the use of fabrics that can withstand heavy cleanings to make travel safe. Privately-owned vacation rental homes and condominiums remain one of the safest options for vacation stays, and many vacation rental companies have amended their cancellation policies due to COVID-19. In Destin, Fla., one of the longest operating vacation rental companies, Newman-Dailey Resort Properties, has introduced enhanced sanitization procedures, relaxed cancellation policies and is now offering a 10 percent discount for those who book their 2021 vacation sooner than later.  

“We know the future is uncertain, however, we believe a vaccine will soon be available and families will begin to take their long-awaited family vacations,” said Newman-Dailey Founder and CEO Jeanne Dailey. “Our team has been welcoming guests to the beach for more than 35 years and we know that the newest properties and those closest to the beach also book first. Therefore, we always encourage our guests to book early to enjoy the best selection at the best rate.”  

With hundreds of premier Destin beach vacation rentals available, ranging from beach-front condominiums to large luxury homes, Newman-Dailey offers a vacation rental for any size group and any budget. Properties such as Hidden Dunes Beach & Tennis Resort are ideal for families looking for world-class amenities within a gated community. Families who prefer to feel like a local will enjoy private homes in neighborhoods such as Crystal Beach, Destiny by the Sea, and Avalon Beach Estates. For added assurances, vacation rental companies including Newman-Dailey are continuing their COVID-19 enhanced sanitization and cleaning procedures as well as providing direct check-in. In addition, families can purchase travel insurance to further protect their vacation from unforeseen emergencies, including if a member of the travel party becomes ill.  

After spending a great deal of time at home and indoors due to lockdowns and regulations, families want to travel to destinations that offer outdoor pursuits and expansive spaces for social distancing. Northwest Florida’s miles of sugar-white sand beaches along with five state parks and Point Washington State forest provide a safe option for vacations in 2021.

Savvy travelers are starting to plan their 2021 vacations now and Newman-Dailey provides details for its South Walton and Destin vacation rentals online or travelers can call a vacation specialist at 1-800-225-7652. Newman-Dailey’s Peace of Mind* discount for 10% off is available with stays of 4 nights or more in any South Walton or Destin vacation rental stay between Jan. 2 – Oct. 31, 2021 (excludes holiday weeks, including Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day).

Henry Ford Health System Partners With Acadia Healthcare To Build Progressive, Modernized Behavioral Health Facility To Serve Detroit Area Communities

Inpatient Treatment Facility Slated to Open in Late 2022

PR Newswire

DETROIT and FRANKLIN, Tenn., Dec. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Henry Ford Health System and Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACHC) today announced that they have formed a joint venture to address the growing, unmet need for accessible, high-quality behavioral health services in Detroit and the surrounding counties.

Henry Ford Health System, one of Michigan’s premier, academic and integrated health systems, has partnered with Acadia Healthcare, the nation’s largest stand-alone behavioral healthcare company. Henry Ford chose Acadia as its partner because of its commitment to patient- and family-centered care, strong clinical outcomes, and proven track record of collaborating with health systems across the country.

“We believe healthcare is one of the most important building blocks of a strong community and that every individual deserves safe, accessible, affordable, compassionate, and high-quality care,” said Wright Lassiter, III, President and CEO, Henry Ford Health System. “We have been a trusted healthcare provider in the Detroit area for more than 100 years and are committed to meeting the rapidly growing demand for behavioral health services in the communities we serve.”

This past Monday night, the elected members of the West Bloomfield Township Board cast their final vote to approve a rezoning request for the parcel of land on which Henry Ford and Acadia intend to build the new hospital. Henry Ford already owns the land, which is adjacent to its Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital campus. The next step in the process is to seek Certificates of Need (CONs) from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

“This inpatient facility will provide a safe, modern care environment for our team members, patients and families,” said Robert G. Riney, President, Healthcare Operations and Chief Operating Officer, Henry Ford Health System. “This is a natural extension of services we currently provide on the campus and the hospital will be built on land we already own. We look forward to expanding our operations through this progressive joint venture model to provide an essential resource in a fiscally responsible way.”

Construction will begin once all regulatory approvals are met. Slated to open in late 2022, the hospital will be able to accommodate 192 beds with the potential to expand to meet future demand for inpatient services in the area. Comprehensive inpatient treatment will be provided for adults, seniors and adolescents who struggle with acute symptoms of mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In addition to offering a full continuum of inpatient care, the hospital will also serve as a destination academic site for the training of inpatient psychiatry residents, medical students, nurses and other healthcare professionals.

“Acadia is extremely pleased to be partnering with a premier healthcare system like Henry Ford to provide these critically needed services in the Detroit area. The new hospital will make a positive difference in the lives of individuals and families throughout the region,” said Acadia Healthcare CEO Debbie Osteen. “We look forward to collaborating with Henry Ford to expand the quality treatment programs in these communities.”

As part of the agreement, Henry Ford will consolidate inpatient services from two of its locations: Henry Ford Kingswood Hospital and the inpatient psychiatric units at Henry Ford Macomb Hospital – Mt. Clemens. Both facilities are aging structures and no longer able to support technology upgrades including the infrastructure needed to support the expansion of virtual care. The new behavioral health hospital will also serve as a new center of excellence of comprehensive inpatient services. The partnership will look to develop innovative care delivery models to better integrate physical and mental health services.

A newly released 2020 Mental Health America Report estimates that 47 million Americans now struggle with mental health challenges, an increase of 4 million people since the 2018 report. In-line with a national spike in mental health cases in the past decade, Henry Ford has seen an upward trend in admissions and visits beginning in 2014. In addition, the rates of major depressive episodes in kids aged 12–17 increased 52 percent during the same time period. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that 24 percent of Michigan’s population will be 60 and older by the year 2030, an increase of 32 percent from 2012. This growth has accelerated the need for more psychiatric inpatient geriatric units in the region.

“We are dedicated to providing a safe, trusted resource for patients, families, and our team members through a progressive, modernized approach to care in an environment conducive to hope and healing,” said Cathrine B. Frank, M.D., Chair, Henry Ford Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health Services. “We are excited to expand access to our nationally recognized programs and services by partnering with an accredited, nationally recognized expert in behavioral health who shares our mission and values for high-quality care.”

About Henry Ford Health System

Founded in 1915 by Henry Ford himself, Henry Ford Health System is a non-profit, integrated health system committed to improving people’s lives through excellence in the science and art of healthcare and healing. Henry Ford Health System consists of six hospitals including Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit; Henry Ford Macomb Hospitals; Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital; Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital; Henry Ford Allegiance in Jackson, MI; and Henry Ford Kingswood Hospital – an inpatient psychiatric hospital.

Gainey McKenna & Egleston Announces A Class Action Lawsuit Has Been Filed Against Minerva Neurosciences, Inc. (NERV)

NEW YORK, Dec. 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gainey McKenna & Egleston announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Minerva Neurosciences, Inc. (“Minerva” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NERV) in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts on behalf of those who purchased or acquired the securities of Minerva between May 5, 2017 and November 30, 2020, inclusive (the “Class Period”). The lawsuit seeks to recover damages for Minerva investors under the federal securities laws.

The Complaint alleges that Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the truth about the feedback received from the FDA concerning the “end-of-Phase 2” meeting; (2) the Phase 2b study did not use the commercial formulation of roluperidone and was conducted solely outside of the United States; (3) the failure of the Phase 3 study to meet its primary and key secondary endpoints rendered that study incapable of supporting substantial evidence of effectiveness; (4) the Company’s plan to use the combination of the Phase 2b and Phase 3 studies would be “highly unlikely” to support the submission of an NDA; (5) reliance on these two trials in the submission of an NDA would lead to “substantial review issues” because the trials were inadequate and not well-controlled; and (6) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On May 29, 2020, Minerva released the results of its Phase 3 clinical trial. The Company announced that the studied “doses were not statistically significantly different from placebo at Week 12 on the primary endpoint . . . or the key secondary endpoint.” In other words, the Phase 3 clinical trial failed. On this news, the Company’s stock price plummeted from a May 28, 2020 closing price of $13.47 per share to a May 29, 2020 closing price of just $3.71 per share.

Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of Minerva during the Class Period should contact the Firm prior to the February 8, 2021 lead plaintiff motion deadline. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.  If you wish to discuss your rights or interests regarding this class action, please contact Thomas J. McKenna, Esq. or Gregory M. Egleston, Esq. of Gainey McKenna & Egleston at (212) 983-1300, or via e-mail at [email protected] or [email protected].

Notes


i

Please note that national forms may vary due to specific national legislation (Article 3(1a) of Directive 2004/109/EC) as for instance the applicable thresholds or information regarding capital holdings.


ii

Full name of the legal entity and further specification of the issuer or underlying issuer, provided it is reliable and accurate (e.g. address, LEI, domestic number identity). Indicate in the relevant section whether the issuer is a non UK issuer.


iii

Other reason for the notification could be voluntary notifications, changes of attribution of the nature of the holding (e.g. expiring of financial instruments) or acting in concert.


iv

This should be the full name of (a) the shareholder; (b) the natural person or legal entity acquiring, disposing of or exercising voting rights in the cases provided for in DTR5.2.1 (b) to (h)/ Article 10 (b) to (h) of Directive 2004/109/EC; (c) all parties to the agreement referred to in Article 10 (a) of Directive 2004/109/EC (DTR5.2.1 (a)) or (d) the holder of financial instruments referred to in Article 13(1) of Directive 2004/109/EC (DTR5.3.1).

As the disclosure of cases of acting in concert may vary due to the specific circumstances (e.g. same or different total positions of the parties, entering or exiting of acting in concert by a single party) the standard form does not provide for a specific method how to notify cases of acting in concert.

In relation to the transactions referred to in points (b) to (h) of Article 10 of Directive 2004/109/EC (DTR5.2.1 (b) to (h)), the following list is provided as indication of the persons who should be mentioned:

– in the circumstances foreseen in letter (b) of Article 10 of that Directive (DTR5.2.1 (b)), the natural person or legal entity that acquires the voting rights and is entitled to exercise them under the agreement and the natural person or legal entity who is transferring temporarily for consideration the voting rights;

– in the circumstances foreseen in letter (c) of Article 10 of that Directive (DTR5.2.1 (c)), the natural person or legal entity holding the collateral, provided the person or entity controls the voting rights and declares its intention of exercising them, and natural person or legal entity lodging the collateral under these conditions;

– in the circumstances foreseen in letter (d) of Article 10 of that Directive (DTR5.2.1 (d)), the natural person or legal entity who has a life interest in shares if that person or entity is entitled to exercise the voting rights attached to the shares and the natural person or legal entity who is disposing of the voting rights when the life interest is created;

– in the circumstances foreseen in letter (e) of Article 10 of that Directive (DTR5.2.1 (e)), the controlling natural person or legal entity and, provided it has a notification duty at an individual level under Article 9 (DTR 5.1), under letters (a) to (d) of Article 10 of that Directive (DTR5.2.1 (a) to (d)) or under a combination of any of those situations, the controlled undertaking;

– in the circumstances foreseen in letter (f) of Article 10 of that Directive (DTR5.2.1 (f)), the deposit taker of the shares, if he can exercise the voting rights attached to the shares deposited with him at his discretion, and the depositor of the shares allowing the deposit taker to exercise the voting rights at his discretion;

– in the circumstances foreseen in letter (g) of Article 10 of that Directive (DTR5.2.1 (g)), the natural person or legal entity that controls the voting rights;

– in the circumstances foreseen in letter (h) of Article 10 of that Directive (DTR5.2.1 (h)), the proxy holder, if he can exercise the voting rights at his discretion, and the shareholder who has given his proxy to the proxy holder allowing the latter to exercise the voting rights at his discretion (e.g. management companies).


v

Applicable in the cases provided for in Article 10 (b) to (h) of Directive 2004/109/EC (DTR5.2.1 (b) to (h). This should be the full name of the shareholder who is the counterparty to the natural person or legal entity referred to in Article 10 of that Directive (DTR5.2) unless the percentage of voting rights held by the shareholder is lower than the lowest notifiable threshold for the disclosure of voting rights holdings in accordance with national practices (e.g. identification of funds managed by management companies).


vi

The date on which threshold is crossed or reached should be the date on which the acquisition or disposal took place or the other reason triggered the notification obligation. For passive crossings, the date when the corporate event took effect.


vii

The total number of voting rights shall be composed of all the shares, including depository receipts representing shares, to which voting rights are attached even if the exercise thereof is suspended.


viii

If the holding has fallen below the lowest applicable threshold in accordance with national law, please note that it might not be necessary in accordance with national law to disclose the extent of the holding, only that the new holding is below that threshold.


ix

In case of combined holdings of shares with voting rights attached “direct holding” and voting rights “indirect holding”, please split the voting rights number and percentage into the direct and indirect columns – if there is no combined holdings, please leave the relevant box blank.


x

Date of maturity/expiration of the financial instrument i.e. the date when right to acquire shares ends.


xi

If the financial instrument has such a period – please specify this period – for example once every 3 months starting from [date].


xii

In case of cash settled instruments the number and percentages of voting rights is to be presented on a delta-adjusted basis (Article 13(1a) of Directive 2004/109/EC) (DTR 5.3.3.A).


xiii

If the person subject to the notification obligation is either controlled and/or does control another undertaking then the second option applies.


xiv

The full chain of controlled undertakings starting with the ultimate controlling natural person or legal entity has to be presented also in the cases, in which only on subsidiary level a threshold is crossed or reached and the subsidiary undertaking discloses the notification as only thus the markets get always the full picture of the group holdings. In case of multiple chains through which the voting rights and/or financial instruments are effectively held the chains have to be presented chain by chain leaving a row free between different chains (e.g.: A, B, C, free row, A, B, D, free row, A, E, F etc.).


xv

The names of controlled undertakings through which the voting rights and/or financial instruments are effectively held have to be presented irrespectively whether the controlled undertakings cross or reach the lowest applicable threshold themselves.


xvi

Example: Correction of a previous notification.
