The launch of PulseIR will deliver a data-driven, digital IR marketing platform to enhance IR communications and investor engagement.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 20, 2023 / EMPOWER CLINICS INC (CSE:EPW)(OTC PINK:EPWCF) ("Empower" or the "Company"), an integrated healthcare company - serving patients through medical centers, a medical device company, and with a developing research and clinical trials division - announces that the company is officially launching the PulseIR technology platform, a personalized, automated, and data-driven mobile IR solution from the PulseIR subsidiary of Fobi AI.

PulseIR is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that delivers an automated activation and communications channel for investor relations directly through the mobile wallet. PulseIR simplifies and enhances the way businesses can grow, diversify, engage, and retain their investor base by enabling personalized engagement through mobile lock screen communication. Using the PulseIR platform, companies can send business updates, volume alerts, price action, and more in real-time, directly to investors' smartphones right as they happen, not just at the end of the day or week. The mobile IR solution brings a business's IR needs right into the hands of today's digital-first investors, improving the user experience by consolidating company-wide IR assets into one touchpoint with customized branding, segmentation, and analytics.

The implementation of Empower Clinic's PulseIR platform will enable:

• Two-way, direct-to-lock screen messaging between the company and its investors
• Automated, real-time communication through SMS or push notifications that can be sent immediately, scheduled, or cancelled
• Ability to search for specific investors and access contact information such as phone numbers and email addresses
• Segmentation of communication to specific shareholders or groups, or to the company's entire database of investors
• Detailed insights and analytics that highlight metrics such as the total number of passes created or downloaded (which can also be segmented by specific investors to see if they downloaded the wallet pass or not)
• Functionality as a CRM database with CSV import and export capabilities

"We are very excited to launch the PulseIR platform and Investor Experience Wallet Pass for Empower Clinics. Being able to connect with our shareholders directly through the lock screen at any time will make all the difference in how we acquire, engage, and retain our investors," stated Steven McAuley, Chairman and CEO of Empower Clinics. "The new automated communications and marketing channel that we now have through the PulseIR technology will definitely be a game changer for improving our IR strategy and results."

"With the official launch of PulseIR with Empower Clinics, we're providing the automated tools that many businesses need to transform their existing, often static, IR strategies," said Rob Anson, Chairman and CEO of Fobi AI. "The PulseIR platform has generated great momentum in the last few months following its commercial launch, and we look forward to continue scaling our solutions and driving digital transformation in IR together with Empower."
