New payment, authentication and credential management company to be called PartX, Inc.

SEBASTIAN, Florida - October 18, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD) today announced that PartX, Inc. will be the name of the planned entity by which it will spin-off its payments, authentication, and credential management business. The name is intended to evoke connectively, stability and endless possibilities.

The name PartX™ is inspired by Charles Pajeau's invention of Tinker Toys in 1914. Pajeau's patent included a piece called 'Part W' – a round spool with holes drilled around the perimeter. It was designed so that when connected to the set's wooden sticks it formed perfect 90-degree angles, providing strength to an unlimited combination of structures.

"PartX is the evolution of Pajeau's vision – technology platforms and products that connect people to devices, and devices to ecosystems," explained Michael Orlando, COO of Nxt-ID and president of Fit Pay, Inc. "The company will facilitate connected commerce, making digital transactions secure, frictionless and personalized."

The PartX name and branding will be introduced at Money20/20, a payments industry event attended by more than 11,500 professionals, taking place October 21-24, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The company will be exhibiting at the event and is a sponsor.

On September 21, 2018, Nxt-ID announced that it intends to separate its payments, authentication, and credential management business into an independent company and distribute shares of the newly created company to its shareholders through the execution of a spin-off, which the Company believes will qualify as a tax-free distribution.

The new company, PartX, Inc., will include the assets acquired in the May 2017 business combination with Fit Pay, Inc. as well as the payment, authentication, and credential management assets that the Company developed since inception. Following the spin-off, the PartX has an investment commitment for $6.0 million to fund its operations. PartX plans to apply for listing on the NASDAQ exchange.

Michael Orlando, current Nxt-ID COO and president of Fit Pay, will be the chief executive officer of the new company. Orlando and Nxt-ID CEO, Gino Pereira, will serve on the Board of Directors of both companies.

#Tech / #AI News: Gopher Protocol (OTCQB: $GOPH) Releasing Official, Limited Access to Avant! AI System

Release a Beta Version 1.0 Web Based Demonstration of the Avant! – To give Followers a Flavor of its Technology

San Diego, CA - October 16, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB: GOPH) ("Gopher"), a company specializing in the creation of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence enabled mobile technologies, including a global platform with both mobile and fixed solutions, is providing limited access to its beta version of its 1.0 Web based Avant!

Avant! AI is an Artificial Intelligence system, neural network based, that is targeted to manage and supervise Gopher's technologies. As a courtesy to the public, Gopher enabled a question-answering interface with Avant! which is capable of answering questions posted in natural language.

Avant! is an exciting and radically new paradigm of the cognitive computing era. Avant! is structured to provide context to the vast volume of unstructured data in the world today, with the goal of enhancing human and machine capability. It can respond to highly complex situations and quickly provide a wide range of potential responses and recommendations, which are backed by evidence it has analyzed. Avant! is based on advanced reasoning and learning systems. Avant! AI technologies includes deep learning and neural networks to “think” like a human. The system was developed by Gopher Protocol research team with the goal of integrating into all of Gopher's technologies.

"We are proud to introduce a public access to our Avant! AI engine," provided Dr. Danny Rittman, Gopher's Chief Technology Officer. "Although we are only providing limited access to an initial phase of Avant!, the public can get a feel for the system's key strength. One of our major Avant! innovations is the use of an advanced semantic segmentation system that enables Avant! to identify visual objects. This allows understanding of an image down to the pixel level. A computer image can now be understood by our pixel analytics algorithm. We believe this will be crucial for applications such as autonomous driving, security drone operation and even computer assisted medical procedures." Dr. Rittman continued, "The next unique aspect of the Avant! system is the AI decision-making process. Avant! has the capability to predict scenarios based on analytics and statistical data. Our goal is to open a whole world of possibilities to integrate Avant! within human interface applications which could include customer services, chat support, financial advice and in the future, medical advices. Every decision taken within Avanti! is supervised by a cognitive deep-learning system for error capturing, which makes it safe and reliable. Another of the remarkable key elements in Avanti! is its Artificial Neural Network (or ANN). This is an information processing paradigm that is inspired by the way biological systems, such as the brain, process information. An ANN is configured for a specific application such as pattern recognition or data classification through a learning process. Avant!"

A Future of Secure Messaging and Payment Apps; Apps that can do it all - #WeChat, #Snapchat, Upco App

New York, NY and Delta, BC - October 9, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global news source and leading investor resource covering tech stocks releases a sector snapshot looking at messaging app stocks.

According to Business Insider 'THE MESSAGING APPS REPORT: How brands, businesses, and publishers can capitalize on the rising tide of messaging platforms', " The combined total monthly active user (MAU) count of the top 4 messaging apps has grown to 4.1 billion in 2018, with the top three messaging apps touting user bases of 1 billion or more."

It also goes on to say, "Not only are these consumer products drawing in more users, but they're effectively increasing the time consumers are spending within messaging apps. The average daily time US consumers spent in a messaging app in 2017 was 10 minutes, up 15.2% from 8 minutes in 2016, according to eMarketer. That 10 minutes is expected to grow to 11 this year, and 12 in 2019."

"This large and engaged consumer base is a prime market for businesses and publishers to target, particularly as social media networks like Facebook become more difficult to leverage. In order to capitalize on this opportunity, messaging apps like Facebook Messenger and WeChat have developed a range of tools, from chatbots to payments methods, that businesses and publishers can use to reach and monetize consumers."

The market has some clear leaders with Tencent Holdings Limited (TCHY) and its WeChat app, the WhatsApp messaging app that Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) bought for $19 billion in 2014 and Snapchat (NYSE:SNAP). Apple has iMessage and just recently, Yahoo announced the launch of a new messaging App, Yahoo Together; and now Samsung and Google are collaborating to create a new messaging app for Android.

So, with such big players in the market how does a smaller company like Upco International Inc. (CSE: UPCO.CN) (OTCQB: UCCPF) (FSE: U06) compete? With great technology and a specific target market to penetrate, they say in recent press releases.

According to news from the company, "Our product supports sending and receiving the complete package of media (text, photos, videos, documents), as well as location and voice calls. Our messages and calls are secured with end-to-end encryption. Additionally, our users' data is not interfered with in any way, or collected for subsequent use of personal identification information, other than for regulatory purposes and account management."

Also from the news, CEO Andrea Pagani stated, "We want to do one thing, which is communicate, and do that very well. WhatsApp has a stronger presence in the Western market. WeChat dominates in China. Our goal is to dominate the European market with a plan for global expansion."

How much does WeChat dominate in China? A recent article in Jing Daily says, "Since 2015! It has continued to grow and by 2017, the number of WeChat MAU reached 980 million, 30 percent higher than the 751 million China's internet users."

In terms of shopping and transactions the article reports, "In Q2 2018, the transaction volume on WeChat shop keeps growing at a 134 percent quarterly increase rate."

Snapchat (NYSE:SNAP) wants your transactions as well and is now in the shopping game. They announced September 24th, "Beginning this week, we're testing a new way to search for products on Amazon right from the Snapchat camera. We'll be rolling it out slowly, but we wanted to announce it to everyone at the same time."

They go on to say, "It's super easy to use. Simply point your Snapchat camera at a physical product or barcode, and press and hold on the camera screen to get started. When the item or barcode is recognized, an Amazon card will appear on-screen, surfacing a link for that product or similar ones available on Amazon. Tap your selection to visit the Amazon App (if you have it installed on your phone) or Amazon.com, where you can complete your purchase or keep browsing."

"Snapchat has always been the fastest way to communicate, and now it's the fastest way to shop!"

Upco International Inc. (CSE: UPCO.CN) (OTCQB: UCCPF) (FSE: U06) also sees the future of their app in money. They recently announcedthe Upco App is available for download on Apple App Store for iOS and Google play store for Android and report some of its features include;

"Cashless technology (eWallet): We are working to enhance the security and unlock the barrier of money transfer improving the economy among others in developing countries."

They also say, "The Upco users will be able to transfer funds to other Upco users without additional costs. Also they will be able to transfer cash funds to regulated banks and cash pick up outlets. The receiver can collect the funds in local currencies."

Building on their payment technology capabilities, Upco announced on October 2nd, "It has commenced development of the interface between Emoney and the Upco application, regarding user authentication and transaction / account management. This is an important early step in deployment of a full-featured mobile payment and transfer application, encompassing both Fiat and Cryptocurrencies, within our E-wallet. Details regarding this innovative offering, which is in the advanced design stage, will be addressed in future news releases."

#Podcast Corner Talks to CEO of Nxt-ID, Inc. ($NXTD) about Personal Emergency Response System #PERS Market and Expanding from VA Market to Big Box Retail

Listen to the Podcast on iTunes

With research indicating that the Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) market could reach $11.1 billion USD by 2025, Nxt-ID, Inc.'s (NasdaqCM:NXTD) subsidiary, LogicMark, LLC is well positioned to expand the business opportunities, according to CEO and President Gino Pereira.

Furthermore, the elderly is more prone to falls, and according to a study, 50% of seniors aged 80 years and 30% of seniors aged 65 fall every year. In addition, those suffering from diseases such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, and muscular dystrophy, are at a higher risk of falling. These are major factors that are estimated to drive the market. - Grand View Research

A report last year from Grand View Research posits that as life expectancies rise and with increasing incidence of Alzheimer's disease, standalone PERS devices are predicted to become more commonplace. Pereira emphasized how crucial response time was against data from falling incidents.

"A major factor in Personal Emergency Response is really response time," he said. "If you look at some fall statistics, the cost of dealing with medical expenses related to adult falls is estimated to be about $55 billion USD by the year 2020. And it's been shown that, in terms of being able to stay alive, the response time is critical. 92 percent of patients that have been found alive within an hour do well, but that drops off - if it's one to three hours it drops all the way to 47 percent. Beyond three hours it goes from 25 percent on down, so response time is extremely important and therefore Personal Emergency Response devices are absolutely critical."

Pereira explained how LogicMark PERS devices that integrate different and better technologies are ideal for preventing negative outcomes.

"Most of the existing PERS devices are based off of the hold wireless handset type technology which [use] radio frequency," he said. "What we're seeing today are versions with WiFi, BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and GPS to enhance tracking. We are in the process of doing R&D and coming out with products in the relative short term covering all three of those technologies."

Pereira also elucidated the market opportunity of telemedicine, and how it works in tandem with what the company does.

"The type of telemedicine monitoring we're doing keeps track of patient health, so it's exactly in line with what we're doing," he said. "When the patient starts going downhill, or if something is wrong, we can intervene very quickly. We can call the physician's office to let them know what's going on, we can call the patient to tell them to get in touch with their doctor's office and have them seek treatment sooner rather than later."

Many of LogicMark PERS are sold through the United States Department of Veteran Affairs, and Pereira is enthusiastic about growing sales there, but he also explained the company's plans of expanding into general retail opportunities.

"Even though we have far and away the largest market share of products being sold into the VA hospitals, we believe there's room for significant growth still within the VA hospital," he said. "We're aligning our markets and sales efforts to push further and deeper into the VA to get continued growth out of there. Beyond that, we think these devices are suited to more commercial retail partnerships and so we are in the process of finalizing agreements with a couple of large big box stores. So, our product will be available to the general public in those stores as well."

"All of these are really designed to drive down healthcare costs from the healthcare provider side," he said. "The cost of presenting at an emergency room is extremely high and if it can be avoided by a simple visit to a doctor's office several days beforehand, that's a significant advantage."
