HealthLynked discusses year-end financials and MedOfficeDirect prospects in development

HealthLynked

HealthLynked chairman and CEO Dr Michael Dent and chief financial officer George O'Leary join Proactive's Natalie Stoberman to share highlights from the company's fourth-quarter and full-year 2022 financial results. HealthLynked reported revenue of $5.86 million, a 10% decrease compared to $6.50 million in 2021. Dent says the decline is primarily attributed to decreases in patient service revenue at the Naples Women’s Center and Bridging the Gap facilities, as well as lower product revenue from MedOfficeDirect. However, the company has reported that the decrease was partially offset by revenue increases at its Naples Center for Functional Medicine facility and revenue from the newly-acquired Aesthetics Enhancements Unlimited practice.

AmeriLife Strengthens Wealth Distribution Leadership to Help Unleash the Power of Its Holistic Platform

AmeriLife

AmeriLife Group, LLC (“AmeriLife”), a national leader in developing, marketing, and distributing life and health insurance, annuities and retirement planning solutions, today announced the next phase of changes to its Wealth organization, which are aimed at redefining the independent agent and advisor experience and breaking through traditional distribution models. Effective immediately, TruChoice Financial Group President and CEO Brian Peterson will assume expanded responsibilities as president of Accumulation and Retirement Income Distribution. Peterson, whose focus will be on growing annuity sales across the AmeriLife enterprise, will also help lead a significant effort to bring to market a world-class, integrated Wealth platform that delivers on AmeriLife’s client-centric, holistic approach. Peterson will have direct oversight over the performance of AmeriLife’s annuities-focused affiliates, in addition to TruChoice, as part of his new responsibilities. “Brian’s leadership is well known throughout our industry, and was a key reason why AmeriLife was so excited to add TruChoice to its family of companies,” said Mike Vietri, Chief Distribution Officer of AmeriLife’s Wealth Distribution. “Today, it’s a pleasure to welcome him again in a new capacity in which he’ll help shape and lead the direction of our accumulation and retirement income efforts; maximize the potential of our annuities-focused companies and their advisors; and help drive new, innovative solutions for their clients.” “I’m thrilled to work with AmeriLife in this expanded role, but even more excited for the opportunities that lie ahead for our growing distribution network,” added Peterson. “Our advisors are helping their clients navigate through extraordinary economic times. I believe that, together, we can ensure that they have the platforms, resources and solutions they need to meet and exceed their clients’ challenges. I look forward to getting to work to deliver on that promise.” Peterson’s appointment follows AmeriLife’s recent restructuring of the company’s Distribution organization, during which it created distinct Wealth and Health groups to better meet the growing demands of the market, AmeriLife’s affiliated companies, and their agents and advisors. These efforts continue as AmeriLife’s Wealth Distribution continues to fortify its ranks to better leverage recent strategic acquisitions (such as TruChoice) and maximize existing partnerships and the industry-leading offerings of Saybrus Partners, Brookstone Capital Management and ICON, AmeriLife’s joint venture with AIMCOR Group. Denny Southern, previously president of Annuities and Retirement Planning, will assume a new role leveraging his carrier-side experience, industry relationships and deep product expertise to — in collaboration with Peterson and other Wealth leaders — support product innovation for the Wealth platform. “AmeriLife’s Wealth Distribution aims to empower agents and advisors who demand more out of their independent distribution platforms, as well as become the partner of choice to make sure their clients, no matter their stages of life, never outgrow them,” said Vietri. “Our holistic approach brings together three core pillars — Accumulation and Retirement Income, Protection Income and Advisory Services — that are essential to delivering the peace of mind that today’s retirees need to live longer, healthier and happier lives. Today’s announcement is simply the next step to deliver on that promise.” ### About AmeriLife AmeriLife’s strength is its mission: to provide insurance and retirement solutions to help people live longer, healthier lives. In doing so, AmeriLife has become recognized as the leader in developing, marketing, and distributing life and health insurance, annuities and retirement planning solutions to enhance the lives of pre-retirees and retirees across the United States. For more than 50 years, AmeriLife has partnered with top insurance carriers to provide value and quality to customers served through a distribution network of over 300,000 insurance agents and advisors and 120 marketing organizations and insurance agency locations nationwide.

Ultrack Enters Acquisition Agreement with Successful Medical and Wellness Company

Ultrack Systems, Inc.

McapMediaWire --Ultrack Systems Inc. (OTC: MJLB ), a total fleet-management GPS tracking and monitoring solution provider, is pleased to announce that Ultrack has entered into a formal contractual agreement with Supreme Products to both acquire and market their "Pet Tracker" product which is a wearable GPS device for pets. Notably, Carl Lamonte from Supreme Products will join Ultrack as an Officer of Brand Development Officer Earlier this year Ultrack noted in a release that the Company is actively seeking joint-venture relationships and/or acquisitions within recession proof sectors. Today's announcement is the initial fulfillment of that goal with more planned to come. With years of experience, resources, and relationships within the GPS industry, it makes sense for Ultrack to expand to the developing vertical market of pet tracking hardware and software. Currently, the global pet market is worth roughly $261 billion with the sub "pet care" market coming in at around $79 billion as of 2021. Current forecasters project that the U.S. pet market alone is projected to grow to $325 billion by 2028 with a projected sustained growth of pet ownership up to 14% by 2030. (Source: https://www.hepper.com/pet-industry-statistics-us / ) Ultrack CEO Michael Marsbergen commented: “Pets are big business and Millennials and Gen Z are leading the way for the foreseeable future. We believe that pet ownership and pet care is a recession-proof industry because people are simply not going to give up the things that they truly love, no matter how hard the economy gets hit. I'm delighted that Mr. Carl Lamonte will be joining Ultrack and helping the Company to establish sure footing as a new face and voice for our “Pet Tracker” product." Some of the ways the Company intends to provide a superior device include potential features like: 1. Health monitoring: Monitor a pet's health by tracking their activity levels, heart rate, and other biometric data. This information could be shared with veterinarians or pet owners to identify potential health problems early on. 2. Behavior modification: Modify a pet's behavior by providing real-time feedback on their location and activity level. For example, a device could be set up to alert a pet owner if their dog has strayed too far from home, or if their cat is spending too much time in a certain area. 3. Predictive analytics: Collect data on a pet's behavior and use machine learning algorithms to predict future behavior. This could help pet owners anticipate potential problems and take preventive action. 4. Social media integration: Integration with social media platforms, allowing pet owners to share their pet's location and activity level with friends and family. This could create a community of pet owners who share information and support each other. 5. Virtual fences: Create virtual fences around a pet's home or yard, alerting the pet owner if their pet strays beyond a certain boundary. This could be especially useful for pet owners who live in areas with high levels of traffic or other hazards. Ultrack and Supreme Products are planning a full-orbed marketing plan through multiple strategies including: As technology and AI evolves, the Company will seek for new ways to add more benefits to its line of pet care products. Investors can anticipate updates moving forward regarding details of the development and deployment of the new "Pet Tracker" product. Furthermore, the details of the contract with Supreme Products involves a marketing partnership to bring appropriate exposure to the new Pet Tracker product. These initiatives include but are not limited to: 1. Social media advertising: Social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram offer targeted advertising options that allow businesses to reach pet owners directly, especially young pet owners. 2. Influencer marketing: Partnering with influencers in the pet industry can be an effective way to reach a wider audience. 3. Pet store partnerships: Starting with pet stores in Canada and established relationship, the Company believes this strategy will be well-received and well-rewarded. 4. Trade shows and events: The Company is looking ahead to three of the largest North American pet-focused trade shows in which to have a meaningful presence.
