This new application, AnemoCheck Mobile, should be available in early 2020 to download from the App Store and Google Play.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Rob Mannino and Erika Tyburski were named to the 2020 Forbes 30 Under 30 list"}],"uid":"27513","created_gmt":"2019-12-12 15:15:54","changed_gmt":"2019-12-12 19:19:29","author":"Walter Rich","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2019-12-12T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2019-12-12T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"629954":{"id":"629954","type":"image","title":"Forbes 30 under 30 2020","body":null,"created":"1576163601","gmt_created":"2019-12-12 15:13:21","changed":"1576163601","gmt_changed":"2019-12-12 15:13:21","alt":"Rob Mannino (B.S.
