Creators and operators of
TN-CAPS

The TN Chamber partnered with Chattanooga-based Thinking Media to launch a career-based curriculum, the Tennessee Career Awareness and Preparation System or TN-CAPS, for educators that illustrates localized, career-focused pathways for students in kindergarten through 12th grade.

Teachers are able to download classroom-ready, age-appropriate lesson plans that illustrate the tasks common to careers that local businesses desire, and then link to actual local businesses near the specific school allowing more students to identify high-demand career paths that tie to new economy jobs, thereby preventing a shortage of qualified workers.

Creators of
PictureRx®
now a product of Bioscape Digital, Inc.

PictureRx was inspired by the many patients who have difficulty taking their medicines correctly, and by their friends and family members who try to help them. PictureRx grew out of research which proves that using pictures helps both children and adults remember what medicines to take, what they are for, and how to take them. PictureRx is one of the few medication aids that has been tested in clinical research studies. Four out of 5 patients said PictureRx helped them keep up with their medicines.

​PictureRx is simple on the surface. Behind the scenes is our innovative, patent-pending technology. PictureRx has received attention from the Wall Street Journal and was ranked among the top 50 finalists in the American Express Members Project, in a field of over 8,000 entries.
