Jumo Health Continues to Celebrate Youth Leaders as They Advocate for Patients and Their Families

Published

on

For the fourth year in a row, a global health education company will be the presenting sponsor of the 2024 International Children’s Advisory Network Research & Advocacy Summit in Bari, Italy

NEW HAVEN, Conn., June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Jumo Health, a global provider of age-appropriate, culturally sensitive medical education resources, today announced its ongoing commitment to the International Children’s Advisory Network (iCAN) as the Presenting Sponsor of its 2024 Research and Advocacy Summit, held in Bari, Italy from July 14-20. For the last 10 years, iCAN has provided a voice for children and their families across the globe.

“Our commitment to iCAN and the children and families they support goes well beyond a week in July each year,” shared Kevin Aniskovich, President and CEO of Jumo Health and a member of the iCAN Advisory Board. “Supporting pediatric advocacy is central to Jumo Health’s corporate mission to elevate health literacy and ensure health equity.  The annual iCAN Summit serves as a gathering for participants from more than 30 countries to share, learn, and inspire others with their stories of hope,” continued Aniskovich. “Each year we arrive excited to learn and leave ready to bring their ideas to life,” concluded Aniskovich.

Capitalizing on the unique knowledge base it created to address the unmet needs of pediatric patients, Jumo Health has since applied that knowledge to serve patients of all ages, across all cultures, in multiple languages. This skill set has allowed the company to remain committed to serving the entire care circle by developing relatable resources that reflect real patient experiences.

At this year’s iCAN Research and Advocacy Summit, Jumo Health will lead two interactive sessions:

The Power of Authentic Storytelling, Presented by Jesse Jankewicz & Riley Brunner 
In this interactive session, leaders from Jumo Health will explain the impact that real patient stories can have and discuss different mediums that attendees can use to share their experiences with others. This session will provide attendees with the opportunity to bring their stories to life in whatever form they choose, including writing, drawing, and video.

Understanding Informed Consent/Assent: A Focus Group, Presented by Rebecca Schelkun & Joe Brady
Jumo Health will discuss the critical components of informed consent forms and why it is important to make the information easy to understand. Then, the session will break out into smaller groups to review a real informed consent form in three different formats to test how well information is retained when presented in different ways.

“It continues to be an honor partnering with Jumo Health in our shared mission of Empowering Pediatric Patients Worldwide, and we are proud to have them as our Presenting Sponsor for the 2024 iCAN Research and Advocacy Summit” said Leanne West, iCAN President and Chief Engineer, Pediatric Technologies at Georgia Tech. “Communication and creativity go hand in hand, and iCAN’s global network of youth members benefits greatly from the work Jumo is doing in supporting health literacy for kids of all ages and conditions.”

The annual iCAN Summit provides an opportunity for its youth members to meet in person with those dedicated to improving pediatric health care, including entrepreneurs, researchers, scientists, and physicians from around the world. In addition to learning more about medical and scientific advances, participants will have the opportunity to interact and share their own stories and experiences navigating the health care system.

“At last year’s iCAN summit, I had an amazing time exploring the captivating coasts and numerous attractions of San Diego while also contributing my voice to pediatric healthcare and research as a patient with a rare disease. It was an incredible opportunity to discuss my passions for rare disease advocacy with experts and professionals from various research organizations,” reflected Meghan Herrington, the iCAN Youth Council Chair and a rising freshman at Brown University.

XRP Healthcare: XRPHAI, a Utility Token Rewarding Healthy Actions, to Go Live on MEXC April 27 at 10:00 AM UTC

Published

on

By

DUBAI, UAE, April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — XRP Ledger-powered utility token driving the XRPH AI ecosystem, with XRPHAI Rewards activating April 28 and enhanced rewards for XRPH holders to follow shortly. See the official MEXC announcement: https://www.mexc.com/announcements/article/17827791535042.

 

 

XRP Healthcare, the first AI healthcare platform built on the XRP Ledger, today confirms that $XRPHAI (the “XRPHAI” utility token) will go live for trading on MEXC at 10:00 AM UTC on April 27, 2026, marking the next phase in the evolution of its unified XRPH AI ecosystem. The XRPH AI Rewards system will activate on April 28, enabling users to begin earning rewards for healthy actions within the XRPH AI App through verified participation.

This marks the first time XRPHAI has been made available for trading, with no prior market activity, private sale, or exchange listing. The initial listing on MEXC provides users with first access to the token as it enters the market.

MEXC has recently undertaken a platform-wide rebrand focused on strengthening its global presence and advancing its position among leading digital asset exchanges. Serving over 40 million users across more than 170 countries, the exchange continues to expand its offering through the introduction of new projects and infrastructure designed to support long-term growth.

XRP Healthcare operates as a connected ecosystem where technology, application, and user engagement work together. XRPH serves as the foundational token layer, while XRPHAI operates as the utility token powering rewards within the XRPH AI App. This structure aligns platform activity with real-world healthcare engagement, ensuring scalability and practical use.

XRPHAI enables a system designed to reward verified healthcare participation within the XRPH AI App. Users can earn XRPHAI through AI-guided health interactions, CalmXRPH wellness sessions, image-based health assessments, educational participation and referrals, as well as through use of the XRPH Prescription Savings Card across more than 68,000 pharmacies in the United States, including Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens. This model introduces a practical approach to digital healthcare, linking real engagement with measurable rewards.

The XRPH AI App and XRPH Wallet are designed to operate seamlessly together, allowing users to earn XRPHAI within the app, transfer rewards directly to the wallet, and hold, manage, or utilise those rewards within the broader ecosystem. This integration connects user participation with underlying infrastructure in a single, unified experience.

Following the initial activation of the rewards system, XRP Healthcare expects to introduce an enhanced rewards layer shortly afterwards. This will enable users holding XRPH in the XRPH Wallet to receive increased XRPHAI rewards, directly linking long-term participation and token holding with greater earning potential across the ecosystem.

Global healthcare represents an estimated $10 trillion market, with digital health continuing to expand rapidly. With over 6.8 billion smartphone users worldwide and growing daily, healthcare delivery is increasingly shifting toward accessible, mobile-first platforms, positioning XRP Healthcare at the intersection of artificial intelligence, mobile technology, and real-world healthcare engagement on a global scale.

XRPHAI will be listed on MEXC at 10:00 AM UTC on April 27, 2026. The XRPH AI Rewards system will go live on April 28, ensuring that market trading and price discovery occur first, followed by reward activation aligned with a live market environment.

XRPHAI has a fixed maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens, with the issuing account permanently disabled (commonly referred to as ‘blackholed’) to prevent any additional minting, reinforcing a transparent and finite token structure. Further details are available in the whitepaper: https://www.xrphealthcare.ai/docs/ai/xrph-ai-white-paper.pdf.

At the core of the system is Proof of Health™, a model designed to reward verified AI-driven healthcare engagement through a structured digital rewards system. Powered by XRPHAI and supported by XRPH infrastructure, this model ensures that participation is measurable, meaningful, and aligned with real-world outcomes.

Following its initial listing, XRP Healthcare intends to pursue additional listings on higher-tier exchanges throughout 2026, supporting broader access, increased liquidity, and continued ecosystem growth.

XRP Healthcare continues to focus on expanding its AI-driven healthcare ecosystem, with ongoing development aimed at increasing user engagement, accessibility, and real-world application.

Kain Roomes, Founder and CEO of XRP Healthcare, said:

“We are building a connected healthcare ecosystem where participation, technology, and real-world use come together. XRPHAI enables us to reward meaningful engagement at scale, while maintaining a strong foundation through XRPH.”

Laban Roomes, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of XRP Healthcare, added:

“This has always been about building one ecosystem. XRPH provides the foundation, and XRPHAI introduces a structured way to reward participation within the XRPH AI App. The integration between the app and the wallet ensures users can move seamlessly across the ecosystem while benefiting from their engagement.”
