ATLANTIC-THERAPEUTICS
6.2.2020 15:02:14 CET | Business Wire | Press release
Atlantic Therapeutics, a global medical device manufacturer, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted over-the-counter (OTC) clearance to INNOVO® , a non-invasive, clinically proven and wearable device for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in adult females.
This approval represents a major milestone that will be a key value driver for Atlantic Therapeutics. This achievement as well as the previous funding rounds position the company to enter its next phase of growth, driven by geographic expansion within the U.S., accelerated sales in other geographies, further development of its existing product portfolio and expansion into new clinical applications.
INNOVO® is the first transcutaneous electrical stimulation continence device to be cleared by the FDA, following positive results from two clinical trials. The clinical trials demonstrated that 80%1 of INNOVO® users experienced significant improvements after four weeks and 87%2 were considered “dry” or “near dry” after three months.
“With INNOVO® now approved for over-the-counter use in the U.S., women suffering from urinary incontinence, a common but stigmatized condition, have easy access to this convenient, effective and safe product, which is backed by science,” said Steve Atkinson, Chief Executive Officer of Atlantic Therapeutics. “No longer requiring a prescription for INNOVO® means women can take back control of their personal health in the safest and most convenient way possible with this effective at-home treatment. They no longer need to suffer in silence and make do with temporary fixes, such as pads, to manage their condition.”
“We are encouraged by the over-the-counter clearance of INNOVO® and believe it unlocks substantial value for Atlantic Therapeutics,” said Anne Portwich, Partner at LSP and investor in Atlantic Therapeutics. “This is an exciting time to be supporting the global expansion and growth of Atlantic Therapeutics.”
An estimated one third of all U.S. females are affected by SUI3 , representing a significant market opportunity for INNOVO®. INNOVO® has an excellent safety record to date, with over 3.5 million therapy sessions delivered by INNOVO® worldwide with no reported device related complications. INNOVO ® can be purchased without a prescription at www.myinnovo.com starting February 6, 2020.

Icon Solutions Showcases How Banks Can Accelerate Digital Asset Innovation with IPF9.6.2026 11:30:00 CEST | Press release
Banks can now deploy digital asset payments faster, without risking fragmentation Icon Solutions – the UK fintech enabling banks to design and implement state-of-the-art payment systems – has released a reference implementation showing how banks can use the Icon Payments Framework (IPF) to accelerate support for payments processing using distributed ledger technology (DLT)-based digital assets. As IPF is agnostic to both the type of digital asset and the DLT network on which they are issued, the risk of fragmentation is reduced as adoption scales. There is growing momentum for digital assets such as stablecoins, tokenised deposits, deposit tokens and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) to enable faster, cheaper and smarter payments. Yet the emergence of different digital asset types and DLT networks – which must also work with existing financial infrastructure – creates fragmentation and operational complexity for banks. This is compounded by legacy vendor solutions that limit choi

Forrester Reveals The Top 10 Highest-Performing Brands In Its 2026 Global Total Experience Score Rankings At Its CX Events9.6.2026 09:30:00 CEST | Press release
Introduced last year, the Total Experience Score evaluates the combined influence of brand and customer experience on overall brand perception among both noncustomers and customers According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) 2026 global Total Experience Score rankings of 375 brands evaluated across Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America in 2025 and 2026, 41% improved their scores while only 3% declined. A compelling total experience — calculated by combining Forrester’s Customer Experience Index (CX Index™), Brand Experience Index (BX Index™), and, for the first time, the new Employee Experience Index (EX Index™) into a unified view of performance — can drive outsized growth for brands. While brand experience and customer experience can each drive revenue independently, the impact multiplies when they are orchestrated together as a unified total experience. In the US, for example, companies delivering a strong total experience see significantly higher returns from retention and enrichment
