Fluxx Announces Availability of Grantelligence™, First of its Kind Grantmaking Intelligence Platform

Leave a comment

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Fluxx, the world’s number one cloud-based grants management software solution, is excited to announce the general availability of Grantelligence, a new business intelligence and analytics platform specifically designed for grantmaking. Holistic and self-serviceable, Grantelligence delivers insights to all stakeholders, enabling them to collaborate to grant faster, with more accuracy, using powerful storytelling.

Grantelligence Analytics Solution for Grants Management
Grantelligence Analytics Solution for Grants Management

“We are thrilled to announce Grantelligence to the philanthropic and publicly funded grantmaking communities,” said Kristy Gannon, CEO of Fluxx. “We set out to provide a solution that enables our users to take their data and build stunning visualizations of grant programs, allowing them to easily measure impact, generate accurate, compelling board presentations, and build dashboards that are trusted by all levels in the organization. Grantelligence represents a new way of leveraging data, one that hasn’t been seen in our world before.”

“We developed Grantelligence because grantmakers today generally do not have the proper tools and resources to present their data effectively,” said Fintan Kelly, VP of Product at Fluxx. “Philanthropists and government organizations alike often struggle. It regularly falls to a single person in the organization to act as a gatekeeper – managing time-consuming requests across multiple audiences. Usually, manual efforts are required to consolidate, cleanse, and update various data sources, forcing the organization to rely upon static spreadsheets or cumbersome external tools to deliver insights about the organization, programs, processes, and outcomes.

“And it’s not just this data preparation that is painful,” Kelly said. “Grantmakers today struggle to convey impact effectively. They utilize these static tables – fine for general reporting but not well suited to present data to their boards, governing bodies, and larger communities. The net result – stakeholders often don’t get the facts they need in an easy-to-consume, engaging way. Decisions can be impacted as meaningful insights get missed. And the heroes can go unsung.”

“We chose the name Grantelligence because our tool is specifically designed for grantmaking,” added Gannon. “We employed best-of-breed technology to create a product that works for our customers. This new offering enables grantmakers to make intelligent decisions so they can take action, increase impact, and tell their stories.”

Grantelligence is available worldwide for purchase as a complement to Grantmaker, Fluxx’s industry-leading grants management solution. More information about Grantellience is available at https://www.fluxx.io/grantelligence-grants-management. 

About Fluxx:
Fluxx is the industry-leading cloud-first grantmaking solution. Purpose-built by grantmakers for grantmaking, Fluxx is women-led, a DEI champion, and a Pledge 1% member organization.

More than 400 world-class foundations and government organizations use Fluxx, including 10 of the top 20 foundations, granting more than $15 billion annually and impacting more than 150,000 non-profits. To learn more about Fluxx, please visit https://www.fluxx.io/.

The new JV will operate under the brand name Digital Connexion: A Brookfield, Jio and Digital Realty Company.

India represents a key market opportunity for Digital Realty to extend coverage, capacity, and connectivity options to cloud providers, hyperscalers and to both local and global enterprise customers.

“India is a mostly untapped market for the data center industry driven by the rapid adoption of digital business models, the world’s largest population, and a government that recognizes the role of technology for future economic development,” said Serene Nah, Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific, Digital Realty.  “This joint venture brings together three global leaders in digital infrastructure to accelerate Digital India by developing, owning and operating institutional quality carrier-and cloud neutral data centers across India.”

Speaking about the transaction, Kiran Thomas, CEO, Jio Platforms Ltd. said, “We are excited to partner with Digital Realty, one of the most innovative data center companies globally and with Brookfield, our existing and trusted partner. The partnership will help us serve our enterprise and SMB clients with cutting-edge, plug-and-play solutions delivered from the cloud and lead their digital transformation and make them more competitive and efficient. The unique and highly engaging consumer and home experiences that we are offering and further innovating on, such as high-definition live content, AR / VR experiences, cloud gaming, immersive shopping experiences and cloud PC have massive compute capacity requirements. We would like to thank the Indian government for granting infrastructure status to data centers and for creating a favorable ecosystem for their development and operations, which is critical for India’s vision to become a $1 trillion digital economy by 2025.”

Arpit Agrawal, Managing Director, Head of Infrastructure, India & Middle East, Brookfield, added, “We are very pleased to expand our existing partnership with Reliance and add their deep expertise in the Indian telecom, tech and data landscape to the platform. Data Centers provide essential services and critical infrastructure to support the digitalization that is taking place in every aspect of life in India.

Project Matty: Revolutionizing Care for Children with Autism and ADHD Through AI

Leave a comment

SINGAPORE, July 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Project Matty, a pioneering digital health solution, has been launched by a dedicated mother of an ADHD-diagnosed child and Dr. Pamela Lim, a clinical psychology doctor. Both inspired by their personal experiences and united by their commitment to improve the lives of children with autism and ADHD, they’re harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) for an extraordinary mission.

The co-founders’ personal journeys fuel their resolve to bridge the gap in traditional treatments. Born out of one mother’s determination to help her ADHD-diagnosed son, and Dr. Pamela Lim’s drive to assist others like her own child with autism, Project Matty aims to provide more accessible, effective, and personalized care to children worldwide.

Enter M.A.T.T.Y – an acronym for Managing Autism/ADHD Through Texting to You. It’s an AI system that leverages the simplicity and familiarity of texting. M.A.T.T.Y engages in insightful chats with caregivers, learning about each child’s unique traits, and using this information to create personalized virtual pets. These AI-powered pals provide children with an engaging, safe environment where they can develop essential skills beyond clinical settings.

Dr. Pamela Lim, a stalwart in the field of clinical psychology, emphasizes the core philosophy of Project Matty. “Kids with neurodevelopmental disorders behave differently because their brains process the world differently. They’re not abnormal, just different. By understanding how they perceive the world, we can help them integrate into what may seem a frightening and strange world. Our mission with M.A.T.T.Y is to empower caregivers, who can then empower these amazing kids.”

Project Matty embodies the transformative potential of technology when combined with deep empathy and personal experience. It presents a significant opportunity for investors looking to support an innovative solution with vast societal impact.

Join Project Matty in empowering children with Autism and ADHD to reach their full potential. Together, we can make a difference in their lives and contribute to a more inclusive, supportive world.

Medlinker’s MedGPT Performs 96% As Well As Top Human Doctors

Leave a comment

In a Livestreamed Real-World Assessment, MedGPT’s AI Doctors Rival Diagnostic Accuracy of China’s Leading Doctors

BEIJING, July 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Medlinker, a leading digital healthcare company in China, undertook a real world comparison of AI doctors accessible through its MedGPT service and their human equivalents in Chengdu on June 30 2023.

The evaluation, streamed live, involved 120 real patients and ten attending physicians from West China Hospital, Sichuan University. Seven eminent physicians from leading Chinese hospitals reviewed and scored the results based on criteria including consultation accuracy, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, suggested additional examinations, data analysis, explanation provided to patients, and the use of natural language in patient interactions. Human doctors scored an average of 7.5 out of 10, while MedGPT scored 7.2. MedGPT’s recommendations were found to be 96% as good as those from top-tier physicians.

Launched by Medlinker on May 25 2023, MedGPT is China’s first homegrown medical large-scale language model founded on the Transformer architecture. Unlike general-purpose large-scale models, MedGPT was designed to provide practical diagnostic value in real medical scenarios, offering intelligent diagnosis and treatment capabilities throughout the entire process, from disease prevention to diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. Medlinker’s ability to release a large-scale medical model ahead of its peers is the result of its accumulated expertise in artificial intelligence, big data, and internet-based healthcare. The world’s first real patient evaluation confirms Medlinker’s leadership in the research, development and application of medical large-scale language models.

The consultation session between doctor and patient was planned to fully ensure the impartiality and fact-based reliability of the evaluation, following a carefully established process:

  • The patient explained their medical situation, including symptoms and previous treatments, to the medical assistant;
  • The medical assistant relayed the collected information simultaneously to the human doctor and to MedGPT through online text input;
  • The medical assistant acted as the intermediary as doctor and patient completed multiple rounds of communication until sufficient information had been collected for a diagnosis;
  • Based on the information, the human doctor and MedGPT ordered specific follow-up examinations or, if the information provided was sufficient, provided a diagnosis to the patient;
  • If further examinations were required, the patient underwent examinations at the hospital;
  • After obtaining the examination results, the patient returned for a final consultation where MedGPT and the human doctor independently provided a clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Throughout the entire process, the human doctor and MedGPT worked independently with no sharing of information, to ensure that both were operating under the same conditions.

During the evaluation session, the medical experts on the panel were impressed by MedGPT’s performance. They generally agreed that MedGPT ensured medical accuracy by collecting sufficient information through multiple rounds of questioning, resulting in a relatively low probability of misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. What was particularly surprising was that, unlike doctors specialized in one field, MedGPT could diagnose diseases outside its field of expertise and suggest a treatment program based on other clinical observations and factors, something that can be quite challenging to achieve in routine consultations undertaken by specialists. The panel concluded that MedGPT’s knowledge coverage surpassed that of human doctors with limited experience.

“The integration of AI doctors and telemedicine services is certain to disrupt the entire medical field,” said Wang Shirui, founder and CEO of Medlinker. “Looking into the future, we firmly believe that through Medlinker’s MedGPT, both the efficiency and the effectiveness of doctors will be vastly enhanced. At the same time, it will become possible to rapidly replicate high-quality medical resources and make them universally available. Furthermore, Medlinker’s telemedicine service network will be able to leverage MedGPT to provide more convenient, efficient and accessible medical services to a significantly larger pool of patients, vastly expanding medical inclusion, and taking a huge step towards solving the biggest dilemma facing the medical community today, providing medical services that are efficient and deliver meaningful treatment to the patient while remaining affordable.”

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — EP Cube announced its partnership with Treedom, the first platform in the world allowing customers to plant a tree remotely and track the story online, and jointly launched the “One Move to Green, One Step to Eternal Planet” event.

Through this initiative, all customers who purchase EP Cube will receive a tree planted by Treedom. Participants can invite their friends to join as well. The initiative details can be found on EP Cube’s social media platforms. All proceeds from the trees will be used to benefit local communities and residents.

Battery systems bring sustainable benefits by supplying power to households during peak hours, thus reducing customers’ electricity bills and their reliance on traditional energy sources. As the first self-designed-and-developed residential energy storage system by Eternalplanet, a consumer-oriented independent brand under Canadian Solar, EP Cube furthers these benefits, offering greater energy savings and sustainability through compatibility with high-power solar panels, enhancing energy efficiency and cutting down energy loss.

By partnering with Treedom, EP Cube now offers those investing in solar energy storage a way to make an even larger positive impact by helping support tree-planting projects around the world.

“In this collaboration with Treedom, we are proud to offer our customers an opportunity to take further action and help to protect our planet,” said Mimosa Kan, Director of Business Development at Eternalplanet. “EP Cube plays a significant role in saving energy, decreasing reliance on fossil fuels, and reducing emissions – equivalent to as much as 600 trees a year. We hope this collaboration will encourage more people to go green with EP Cube.”

The initiative is currently underway in the US and will come to more regions globally. Canadian Solar and Eternalplanet are dedicated to further popularizing this campaign and will introduce EP Cube to more markets, creating a greener and more sustainable future with their partners.
