First Deployment of Apierion Digital Medical Identity Technology in Healthcare Provision with Credentialing App, Enabling Access That Leads to Better Patient Data Interoperability

VOORHEES, N.J., June 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Apierion (formerly MAPay, LLC), the global healthcare fintech company revolutionizing healthcare payments and data exchange with blockchain innovations, today announced the live deployment of the Apierion Digital Medical Twin (DMT) healthcare credentialing application in Bermuda. Following a successful proof-of-concept delivered last fall, the DMT enables providers to use a secure data vault for their professional data, expediting health licensing and enhancing Bermuda’s overall healthcare provision. Typically healthcare credentialing is labor-intensive and not easily transferable to other necessary recipients including insurers and government programs. Apierion’s Digital Medical Twin for medical providers, ProDT, streamlines this process, reducing administrative costs, enhancing population health outcomes, and empowering cross border standards for sharing of healthcare resources.

“Apierion’s mission to democratize healthcare worldwide begins with Bermuda, an island that encapsulates the healthcare challenges affecting communities around the world,” said Michael ‘Dersh’ Dershem, CEO of Apierion. “The health challenges we are seeking to overcome are not unique to Bermuda; they are a microcosm of the inefficiencies in modern healthcare worldwide. Improving public health, beginning with digital records and data management with the Apierion Digital Medical Twin, we can level the playing field, overcome health inequities and increase data access in countries, on all continents.”

The ground-breaking Digital Medical Twin and accompanying credentialing app will provide comprehensive assurance to Bermudians that their local healthcare providers maintain the necessary training and licensing to deliver high-quality patient care, while also creating value for providers. The macro goal is globally standardized processes to provide agility and regulatory framework across jurisdictions. The Apierion Digital Medical Twin introduces a dynamic professional electronic representation stored as an NFT, enabling bi-directional data, payment and messaging. Health providers will now have a digital identity stored on the blockchain that authenticates their qualifications and credentials, dynamically updated with permissionable access for authorized users for the supported data.

“Apierion’s vertical integration of the Digital Medical Twin across data, healthcare, and monetary development within permissible guidelines is a monumental step towards providing efficient healthcare solutions for Bermuda,” added Dr Ricky Brathwaite, CEO, of the Bermuda Health Council.

The Apierion Digital Medical Twin suite offers key features to the three main stakeholders in medical commerce:

ProDt: Digital identities and dynamic NFTs for professionals’ information on the blockchainMyDT: Patient centric digital identities for individuals’ personal health informationOrgDt: Digital Identity of the organization such as hospitals, clinics and insurance companies

Apierion is designed to tackle several fundamental problems in Bermuda’s healthcare sector, including reducing the cost of care, enabling better allocation of resources within the medical commerce ecosystem, improving patient data interoperability, including social determinants of health (SDOH) and enhancing cross-border care. Prospective regions with similar challenges such as India, Africa, South America and the greater LATAM locality, can also benefit from the revolutionary healthcare ledger technology.

Kevin Richards formerly with the Bermuda Authority and now managing director of Bermuda Asset Management takes special pride as a Bermudian with Apierion’s achievement. “My knowledge of Apierion stretches years to when I was first introduced to the ambitious team. Dersh bet his reputation on what he saw in Bermuda as a true ‘healthcare revolution’ and a sandbox of possibilities. Now seeing this transformation happening here locally and being exported as the ‘Bermuda principle’ is incredibly moving in many aspects.”

Apierion is turning “healthcare to Humancare” with a healthcare-focused mission currently building and deploying a technology ecosystem that enables companies and governments around the world to launch and commercialize applications that reduce costs, promote interoperability, increase transparency and data exchange, and empower individuals with control over their personal health information.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
