LOS ANGELES – October 10, 202…

The wearable sustained acoustic medicine (sam®) treatment has been effectively utilized by sports medicine doctors, athletes and beyond to help rapidly treat tendon, ligament and other soft-tissue injuries.

TRUMBULL, Conn. – October 10, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

ZetrOZ Systems, creator and manufacturer of the sam® wearable ultrasound device product line, is continuing to expand its clinical education program on the benefits of sustained acoustic medicine for soft tissue healing, the usage of the pain relief treatment and attaining health insurance coverage of the pain relief device. 

Sustained Acoustic Medicine (sam®) is the only home-use bioregenerative medical device cleared by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for the treatment of select medical indications, most commonly for chronic joint pain of the shoulder, knee and elbow, and the treatment of overuse injuries. More than 50 clinical and scientific studies support its effectiveness in healing injuries, restoring function and returning patients to work and everyday activities.

“Our sam® technology is touching thousands of lives daily, and we want to continue providing education to more healthcare providers as a way to bring this innovative intervention forward to Americans who can benefit from this treatment,” said Dr. George Lewis, founder and CEO of ZetrOZ Systems. “This technology offers results without the need for opioids or other drugs while treating and healing patients up to 40% faster than standard methodologies.”

Clinical education on sam® is directed by Dr. Rod Walters and Dr. Rajiv Mallipudi. Walters is a nationally recognized leader in athletic training with decades of experience at major universities and as a consultant to clients including the National Football League, the Big 12 Athletic Conference and Cirque du Soleil. He was inducted into the National Athletic Trainers Association Hall of Fame in 2005.

Dr. Mallipudi, MD, M.H.S, is a board-certified internal medicine hospitalist physician and assistant clinical professor at the Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Conn. He is an active clinical researcher on healthcare quality improvement, with projects examining methods to reduce length of stay for hospital patients and to improve patient outcomes.

Walters and Mallipudi have a shared goal of educating physicians, physical therapists and athletic trainers about the benefits and use of the sam® device, in hopes of reducing the need for surgeries and pain medication and improving patients’ likelihood of returning to work, sports and normal daily activities. By providing clinical training resources, including online videos, medical professionals now have information on best practices for the drug-free and non-invasive treatment of patients’ injuries.

Adherence to a sam® regimen across the repair phase provides a necessary and safe intervention to ensure patients avoid chronic, recurring injuries. Recommended practices are specified in the education materials and include:

• The sam® treatment can be applied with one or two ultrasound stimulators.
• The sam® device should be applied a minimum of four times a week.
• Treatments should be applied incrementally to assess patients’ response to treatment, from an initial one-hour treatment to a maximum of four hours per treatment.
• For acute conditions, treatment duration can range from 4 to 8 weeks.
• For chronic conditions, treatment can range from 2 to 12 weeks.

Clinical education instructs physicians that sam® can serve as a stand-alone treatment or be used to supplement other treatment approaches to stimulate soft-tissue repair and that its value is as a treatment option that does not require surgery or pain relief medications. 

The sam® treatment also is a cost-effective treatment option. For example, a 2020 study on knee osteoarthritis, published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, found sam® provided a greater improvement in functional effectiveness per dollar of care than the standard care options. 

ZetrOZ Systems continues to provide education on sam® technology, most recently participating in the annual PHATS (Professional Hockey Athletic Trainers Society) SPHEM (Society of Professional Hockey Equipment Managers) 2022 Conference in June. Findings showed sam® is a non-invasive, non-narcotic alternative to pain, and that the device’s ease of use led athletes to return to normal activity after treatment.

Climate infrastructure startup’s 8x revenue growth captured the attention of lead investors Fifth Wall

SAN FRANCISCO – October 10, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

EcoCart, a software company building the infrastructure for ecommerce companies to operate sustainably at scale, has raised a $14.5M Series A round. The company, which previously raised $3M in April 2021, will leverage the funds to continue its work toward making ecommerce more transparent and sustainable. 

The round was led by Fifth Wall Climate, and with participation from Capital One Ventures, SVB Capital, Ryder Ventures, Sree Sreedhararaj, CTO at Sephora, Nikila Srinivasan, VP of Product at Instacart, and a handful of other angel investors. Existing investors Base10 Partners, SuperAngel.Fund, and angel Ben Jabbawy, Founder of Privy also participated in the round.

The company has increased revenue more than 8x and grown headcount from 5 to 30 full-time employees, which is a direct result of them capturing the attention of major ecommerce brands across the globe. As the company continues to grow, they plan to expand into new ecommerce platforms as well as other custom builds with their evolving API capabilities.

“Using EcoCart is like having your own trusted sustainability team to guide you through the process of measuring, offsetting, and analyzing your carbon footprint,” says Kyle Hency, Co-Founder and former CEO of Chubbies. “Their way of threading sustainability into the shopping experience doesn’t only help brands communicate about what they’re doing to be more sustainable but it genuinely delights customers in the moment. It’s also an extremely easy way for ecommerce brands to take that first step toward operating more sustainably, which removes potentially the biggest hurdle brands face when they first start considering sustainability.”

EcoCart’s platform has grown extensively since the previous financing round, having added capabilities such as product detail page content, educational homepage banners, live impact counters, and in-depth sustainability reporting. In addition to new capabilities, the roster of carefully vetted offsetting projects that the company partners with to help their customers fund genuinely impactful offsetting activities has also grown. This expansion has allowed EcoCart to offer even more impactful sustainability-led experiences, solidifying the company as a clear leader in the sustainable commerce space. As a result, brands leveraging EcoCart have seen higher than 60% adoption rates from their customers, which has led up to a 22% lift in conversion rate and a 38% increase in average order value.

“EcoCart makes sustainability an everyday touchpoint for consumers, unlocking a scalable way for thousands of companies to contribute to impactful, sustainable projects that support people and help to decarbonize our planet,” said Brendan Wallace, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Fifth Wall. “We are proud to back EcoCart through its next stage of development and growth and explore how the real estate sector can harness the power of consumer action to make a meaningful impact globally.”

EcoCart was founded in 2019 by Dane Baker and Peter Twomey. Since inception, EcoCart has worked alongside merchants of all sizes, from retail giants to home-grown businesses, who don’t have the time or resources to go through a full product lifecycle audit and analysis, to help them calculate, analyze, and offset their carbon emissions. The company’s continued growth, and this new round of funding, is further evidence that the need for sustainability solutions for businesses of all sizes will only continue to grow.

“Since partnering with EcoCart last year, Dane, Peter, and team have made tremendous strides towards their vision of making the entire retail industry more sustainable. We’ve seen EcoCart build strong trusted relationships with their customers around the most critical point of the ecommerce experience: checkout,” noted Rexhi Dollaku, Partner at Base10 Partners. “Base10 is excited to continue backing this special company, which is well on its way to  solidifying a spot in every brand’s ecommerce toolkit.”

EcoCart’s robust product suite has enabled the company to support 2,000+ customers including Siete Foods, Walmart Canada, Supergoop!, Bird Scooters, Mr. Beast’s Feastables, APL, and more. With this new round of funding, EcoCart will continue building next generation climate tools to enable ecommerce brands to operate more sustainably with a mission to make an impact with every online transaction.
