SINGAPORE, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Marsh and Resilience today announced the launch of Cyber Protect in Asia. An innovative offering that helps clients respond to emerging cyber threats before they become losses. Available exclusively through Marsh in Asia, Cyber Protect combines Marsh's expertise in cyber insurance placement with Resilience's Risk Operations Center (ROC), a 24/7 proactive cyber risk monitoring and detection service included as a core part of the Cyber Protect Program at no additional cost to clients.

Cyber Protect is designed to help clients identify critical vulnerabilities earlier and improve their risk profile by remediating risks likely to cause financial loss. The offering is available to organizations that purchase cyber insurance brokered by Marsh and is available across Asia, excluding China.

This offering combines:

Marsh's expertise in cyber insurance placement, backed by deep claims experience across the region.

24/7, AI-powered monitoring and proactive threat hunting service that continuously scans a policyholder's external-facing infrastructure to surface critical vulnerabilities and exposures before they can be exploited.

Human-validated alerts that filter out noise, so clients see only the risks that warrant action, with clear remediation guidance to enable security teams to close gaps faster and with more confidence.

A layer that works alongside existing security controls, with no software installation or internal system access required.

The launch comes as organizations across Asia face mounting pressure from AI-driven cyber threats. According to Marsh's Cyber Buyer Study, only 50% of Asia-based organizations are confident in their cyber risk management and mitigation initiatives, the lowest level of confidence globally and well below the worldwide average of 72%. Almost three in 10 cyber and social engineering attacks globally target Asia, underscoring the need for stronger cyber resilience and earlier threat detection.

"As cyber threats continue to accelerate, prevention alone is no longer sufficient. Managing cyber risk today demands both the ability to detect and respond to threats early, and the financial protection to recover when the inevitable incident occurs," said Sean Letz, Cyber Leader, Marsh Asia. "Cyber Protect helps clients detect critical vulnerabilities earlier, take action faster, and strengthen their risk profile, supporting stronger resilience, improved insurability, and greater confidence in recovery."

"Asia represents one of the most important developing cyber risk markets in the world, and we are proud to be bringing this unique solution to market with Marsh," said Mario Vitale, President of Resilience. "We built Resilience around a single belief: that the highest value we can deliver is a loss that never happens. Our platform continuously hunts for threats across clients' external attack surfaces, prioritizing the vulnerabilities most likely to cause financial harm before an attacker can act. Asian businesses now have access to that capability — together with the expertise of one of the world's most trusted insurance partners."

Clash of Clans and WWE reunite for their second collaboration with six WWE Superstars reimagined as Clash of Clans characters, and a worldwide hunt for Cena's in-game village.

Rhodes and Cena are long-time players of Clash of Clans — now Rhodes has enlisted WWE Superstars, including The Undertaker and IYO SKY, and the game's millions of daily players to join the search.

Starting today, players can join the hunt to raid Cena's village and unlock exclusive rewards.

HELSINKI, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Clash of Clans*, which has over two billion lifetime downloads, is back with WWE for a second collaboration; and this time, the rivalry is personal. WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes and WWE Legend John Cena are best known for what they do in the ring, but their competition didn't start there. Both are long-time players of Clash of Clans, and this shared gaming history has become locker room legend. Now, Rhodes, a decade-long player, has recruited the Clash of Clans community – plus fellow WWE Superstars – to help him hunt down John Cena's base, taking a decade-long battle out of the ring and into their in-game villages. 

Cody Rhodes enlists millions of gamers to Search for John Cena in Clash of Clans and WWE crossover.

Cody Rhodes enlists millions of gamers to Search for John Cena in Clash of Clans and WWE crossover.

Beginning today, September 1st, through September 30th, Cena's loot-filled base is waiting for Clash of Clans players to discover throughout the course of their daily raids. The more players raid, the higher the chance they have of locating the elusive WWE Legend and earning a one-time-only Cody Rhodes statue for their village – but only if their raid is a success. It's not like a 17-time WWE World Champion is going to have a rookie base.  

Meanwhile, to beef up the search party, Rhodes has enlisted the support of The Undertaker, IYO SKY and a whole host of other WWE Superstars who will be rallying their own fans online to join the hunt.

"People think this started in the ring with Cody. It didn't. It started when I out-raided him in the game and he threw me off his team," says Cena. "Ten years later he still needs help. This time he's asking millions of you to take on my base. That's fine. As I have always said - if you want some, come get some."

Beyond Cena's base, the in-game crossover presents six WWE Superstars reimagined as iconic Clash of Clans Hero characters, including the return of Cody Rhodes as The Barbarian King. The lineup include: 

Cody Rhodes as "Barbarian King"

Alexa Bliss as "Archer Queen" 

The Undertaker as "Grand Warden" 

IYO SKY as "Royal Champion" 

Jey Uso as "Minion Prince" 

Kane as "Dragon Duke"

Players can also experience WWE-themed features throughout the event, from temporary troops to a branded village theme that's designed around WWE Money in the Bank, taking place in New Orleans on October 10th. WWE chests hold a series of rewards too, with returning favorites like Action Figure Equipment, plus Challenge Tickets and a guaranteed Cody Rhodes Skin**.

Download Clash of Clans for iOS or Google Play today to help Rhodes in his Search for Cena until September 30th. 

*Clash of Clans has been downloaded over 2 billion times and was recently voted "Greatest Mobile Game of All Time" by followers of Pubity.

**Players who already own the Cody Rhodes Skin will instead receive a random Gold Pass skin, then random Equipment, or a Book of Everything if they've collected them all

SIBIONICS présente le GS3 à Melbourne, pour une surveillance de la glycémie plus efficace et activée par l'intelligence artificielle USA - Français

NEWS PROVIDED BY

SIBIONICS

Sep 01, 2026, 03:53 ET

SHARE THIS ARTICLE

MELBOURNE, Australie, 1er septembre 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SIBIONICS a présenté ses innovations en matière de capteurs et son système de surveillance de la glycémie basé sur l'intelligence artificielle à l'occasion du congrès conjoint IDF-WPR, ADC et Metabolic Diseases 2026, qui s'est déroulé à Melbourne du 18 au 21 août. Sur le stand n° 1 et grâce à un colloque scientifique et à des entretiens sur place avec des éducateurs certifiés en diabète, l'entreprise a associé une technologie de pointe, des données cliniques et des perspectives issues de la pratique quotidienne.

At IDF-WPR 2026 & ADC 2026 & Metabolic Diseases 2026, we shared how GS3 is bringing AI into everyday glucose management — from easier meal logging and food analysis to smarter insights into glucose trends.

La genèse technologique du GS3 va bien au-delà de la surveillance de la glycémie. Les travaux de SIBIONICS dans le domaine des interfaces cerveau-ordinateur comprennent notamment une prothèse rétinienne conçue pour offrir une perception visuelle limitée aux personnes souffrant d'une perte de vision profonde due à des maladies dégénératives de la rétine externe, telles que la rétinite pigmentaire. Ces systèmes d'une grande complexité nécessitent une biodétection précise et stable, ainsi qu'un traitement très fiable des signaux. SIBIONICS a transformé cette ingénierie hautement spécialisée en une technologie médicale plus accessible au grand public : la surveillance continue du glucose. Cette même plateforme prend désormais en charge le GS3, un capteur de surveillance continue du glucose (CGM) étalonné en usine, d'une durée de vie de 14 jours et d'une épaisseur de 2,9 mm, conçu pour offrir une surveillance fiable tout en réduisant la gêne ressentie par l'utilisateur.

Lors du colloque « Beyond Glucose: The Integrated Future of CGM, CKM, and AI in Diabetesémie (CGM) », organisé conjointement par SIBIONICS et Air Liquide Healthcare et présidée par le professeur Sofianos Andrikopoulos, PDG de l'Australian Diabetes Society, trois points de vue ont été mis en avant. Le professeur David O'Neal, de l'université de Melbourne et directeur adjoint de l'Australian Centre for Accelerating Diabetes Innovations, a passé en revue les nouvelles données cliniques relatives à la surveillance continue de la glycémie et des corps cétoniques. La professeure associée Shannon Lin, spécialiste du diabète et de la nutrition à l'Université de technologie de Sydney, a examiné comment la surveillance continue du glucose (CGM) peut aller au-delà de la simple visibilité des données pour offrir un accompagnement personnalisé, prédictif et concret. Le professeur Wei Qiang, médecin-chef adjoint et directeur adjoint du service d'endocrinologie et de métabolisme du Premier Hôpital affilié à l'Université Jiaotong de Xi'an, a présenté les grandes lignes d'un écosystème intégré, géré par l'intelligence artificielle, qui associe des technologies de détection fiables, la prise en compte du contexte et l'apprentissage.

Tout au long du congrès, des médecins et des éducateurs spécialisés dans le diabète se sont rendus sur le stand de SIBIONICS pour découvrir le GS3 et échanger sur ses fonctionnalités de gestion de la glycémie. Lors d'entretiens anonymisés, les éducateurs certifiés en diabète ont décrit le capteur comme étant petit, léger, confortable et facile à installer. Ils ont notamment identifié un fort potentiel dans la détection des pics glycémiques assistée par l'IA, la simplification de l'enregistrement des repas et l'analyse alimentaire permettant de relier l'évolution de la glycémie au contexte des repas. Leurs commentaires ont également mis en évidence l'importance de la personnalisation, d'estimations claires des apports en glucides et de calendriers d'événements utiles sur le plan clinique, soulignant ainsi que l'IA doit améliorer la formation et l'aide à la décision sans se substituer aux soins prodigués par des professionnels.

À l'avenir, SIBIONICS prévoit d'intégrer sa plateforme de détection à des technologies de surveillance continue des cétones, d'administration d'insuline, d'intelligence artificielle et à d'autres technologies liées au diabète. L'objectif est de créer un écosystème plus riche, fiable et efficace, qui raccourcit le chemin menant des données à la compréhension, puis de la compréhension à l'action.

About 30 Minutes from Tokyo: Koshigaya, Saitama Hosts First "EDO Nigiwai Market" -- Vegetables, Traditional Crafts and Japanese Culture

NEWS PROVIDED BY

Tourism Media Service

Sep 01, 2026, 03:57 ET

SHARE THIS ARTICLE

TOKYO, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Located about 30 minutes from Tokyo, Koshigaya City in Saitama Prefecture will host the first "EDO Nigiwai Market — Koshigaya Vegetables and Traditional Crafts Experience Market" on November 15.

The event will take place at AEON LakeTown OUTLET, a major shopping destination in the area. Visitors can taste and purchase locally grown vegetables and food, discover traditional crafts such as daruma and hina dolls, and enjoy Japanese cultural experiences including live shamisen music, samurai performances, armor wearing and shuriken throwing.

The event is planned to continue approximately once every three months, featuring seasonal food, crafts and cultural experiences. Organizers aim to develop it into a gateway for both Japanese and international visitors to discover Koshigaya's history, culture and people.

Tourism Media Service spoke with the organizer about the concept behind the event and what visitors can expect.

The event is planned and operated by ROJICOYA, which develops cultural experiences and walking tours centered on Edo-period and traditional Japanese culture. A pre-event will be held on September 27, with visitor feedback and operational findings reflected in the first full-scale event on November 15.

The main theme is "Koshigaya — A Town That Helped Sustain Edo." Edo is the former name of present-day Tokyo and refers to the period from 1603 to 1868, when the city developed into Japan's political and economic center.

The market will introduce food, agriculture, craftsmanship and culture passed down in Koshigaya from the Edo period to today. Visitors will learn about the area not only through displays, but also by tasting, shopping, watching and taking part in hands-on experiences.

A Historic Post Town About 25 Kilometers from Edo

Koshigaya is located about 25 kilometers from Nihonbashi in central Tokyo. During the Edo period, it flourished as Koshigaya-juku, the third post town on the Nikko Kaido, a major road connecting Edo with Nikko.

A juku was a post town where travelers could rest, eat and stay overnight. Such towns also became important hubs for the movement of goods and information.

With rivers, waterways and fertile farmland, Koshigaya developed agriculture alongside transportation and trade. Local crafts and skilled handwork also grew as part of everyday life.

The EDO Nigiwai Market will show how that history remains connected to modern Koshigaya through local vegetables, food, crafts and culture.

For international visitors, "EDO" serves as an accessible gateway into Japanese history, while the event also introduces the farmers, craftspeople and residents who continue these traditions today.

Four Ways to Enjoy the Market

The venue will be organized around four main experiences, making it easy for visitors to understand what they can see and do.

Taste & Shop | The Flavors of Koshigaya

Visitors can discover vegetables grown in Koshigaya and other local foods.

Along with buying fresh produce and regional specialties, they can learn about the land where the vegetables are grown and the knowledge of local farmers. The aim is to introduce both the food and the people behind it.

See & Shop | Traditional Craftsmanship of Koshigaya

The market will introduce locally inherited crafts including Koshigaya daruma, traditional Japanese good-luck dolls; hina dolls, displayed during Hinamatsuri, Japan's annual Girls' Festival; samurai armor; and traditional boxes made from lightweight paulownia wood, known in Japan as kiri.

Visitors can see these items up close, purchase selected products and learn about the skills of the craftspeople who make them.

The experience also introduces monozukuri, a Japanese concept referring not simply to manufacturing, but to the care, skill and craftsmanship behind making things.

Watch & Listen | Japanese Live Music and Performances

The event will feature live performances of the shamisen, a traditional Japanese three-stringed instrument, as well as dynamic samurai performances.

Even visitors unfamiliar with Japanese history or performing arts can enjoy the sounds, movements and atmosphere as an introduction to Japanese culture.

Become a Samurai or Ninja | Armor & Shuriken Experience

Visitors can put on traditional samurai armor and step into the world of Japan's historic warriors.

A ninja-themed activity will also allow participants to try throwing shuriken, small throwing weapons commonly associated with ninja.

These hands-on activities are designed to make Japanese culture something visitors can experience rather than simply observe.

Together, the four elements — food, crafts, performances and hands-on activities — encourage visitors to explore the market while discovering different sides of Koshigaya.

From the Market to the Rest of Koshigaya

The attractions presented at the event are only an introduction to what Koshigaya has to offer.

A tourism information area will guide visitors to places throughout the city, including the historic Nikko Kaido and Koshigaya-juku area, local farms and workshops, shops, waterfront areas and cultural sites.

Among them are Hisaizu Shrine, a historic Shinto shrine; Koshigaya Noh Theater, where visitors can encounter Noh, one of Japan's oldest forms of classical performing arts; and Hanata-en, a traditional Japanese garden.

Visitors who enjoy Koshigaya's vegetables will be encouraged to visit farms and local produce shops. Those interested in craftsmanship can explore workshops and meet local makers, while visitors inspired by samurai culture or traditional performing arts can continue to historical and cultural sites around the city.

Organizers also plan to develop half-day and full-day tours connecting farms, workshops, shops, shrines, temples and cultural facilities, along with year-round bookable experiences.

A New Koshigaya Experience Every Three Months

Following the first full-scale event on November 15, the EDO Nigiwai Market is expected to continue approximately once every three months.

Each edition will feature seasonal vegetables, food, crafts and cultural experiences, giving visitors a reason to return and discover a different side of Koshigaya throughout the year.

The wider project positions the market as a gateway to the city. Rather than ending a visit at LakeTown, organizers hope visitors will continue on to farms, workshops, historic streets and cultural facilities around Koshigaya.

The project also aims to connect tourism with local industries and cultural heritage. By creating opportunities to meet farmers, craftspeople and cultural practitioners, organizers hope to encourage repeat visits, local spending and the continuation of regional traditions.

For travelers visiting LakeTown, the EDO Nigiwai Market offers an opportunity to discover another side of Koshigaya.

The hope is that visitors will leave thinking: "I didn't know Koshigaya had this kind of history and culture. Next time, I want to explore the city itself."

The market aims to become the first step toward discovering "the Koshigaya beyond LakeTown."

Continentale Versicherung

Krankenversicherte der Continentale erhalten rund 163 Millionen Euro für kostenbewusstes Verhalten

Dortmund (ots)

Die Continentale Krankenversicherung schüttete jetzt rund 163 Millionen Euro an Kundinnen und Kunden aus, die im vergangenen Jahr keine Rechnungen eingereicht hatten. "Wer keine Leistungen in Anspruch nimmt, bekommt Beiträge zurück. Das liegt seit 100 Jahren in unserer DNA", sagt Dr. Marcus Kremer, Vorstand Kranken bei der Continentale Versicherung. "Schon 1927 haben unsere Gründer Gesundheitsprämien eingeführt - die Geburtsstunde der Beitragsrückerstattung." Damit honorierte das Unternehmen als erster deutscher Krankenversicherer wirtschaftliches Handeln seiner Kunden.

Leistungsfreiheit rechnet sich

Heute belohnt die Continentale Leistungsfreiheit auf drei Wegen:

Erfolgsabhängige Beitragsrückerstattung: Hierbei profitieren die Kunden direkt von Überschüssen des Unternehmens - der überwiegende Teil davon wird an sie ausgeschüttet. In diesem Jahr waren es 81,0 Millionen Euro.

Erfolgsunabhängige Beitragsrückerstattung: Unabhängig vom Geschäftsergebnis kommt den Versicherten in einigen Vollkosten-Tarifen, zum Beispiel im PREMIUM und im COMFORT, zusätzlich eine garantierte Rückerstattung zugute. In der erfolgsunabhängigen Variante zahlte die Continentale aktuell 37,7 Millionen Euro aus.

Pauschalleistung: Das vertraglich fixierte Modell der Pauschalleistung gibt es in verschiedenen Voll- und Zusatzversicherungen der Continentale. In dieser Kategorie flossen den Versicherten 44 Millionen Euro zu.

GesundheitsApp mit Parkplatzfunktion hilft bei der Entscheidung

Eine Beitragsrückerstattung oder Pauschalleistung bei Leistungsfreiheit kann höher sein als die voraussichtliche Erstattung der Rechnungen. Je nach Tarif können Kunden bis zu sechs Monatsbeiträge pro Kalenderjahr zurückerhalten. Deshalb ist es sinnvoll, Belege nicht sofort einzureichen. Die Continentale GesundheitsApp macht es den Versicherten besonders einfach: Mit der Parkplatzfunktion lassen sich Belege digital sammeln und erst dann übermitteln, wenn feststeht, dass sich dies lohnt.

Weitere Informationen zu den Krankenversicherungstarifen der Continentale gibt es unter www.continentale.de/krankenversicherung. Freie Vermittler finden speziell für sie aufbereitete Informationen unter makler.continentale.de/krankenversicherung.

Continentale Versicherung - Vertrauen, das bleibt

Die Continentale gehört zu den großen deutschen Versicherern. Über die Continentale Krankenversicherung a.G., die Continentale Lebensversicherung AG und die Continentale Sachversicherung AG bietet sie privaten und gewerblichen Kunden modernen Versicherungsschutz aus einer Hand. Ob Vorsorge für den Krankheitsfall, den Verlust der Arbeitskraft, ein finanzielles Polster im Alter oder Versicherungen für Haus, Auto und Betrieb.

Als Teil des Continentale Versicherungsverbundes ist ihr Handeln geprägt vom Gedanken des Versicherungsvereins auf Gegenseitigkeit. Muttergesellschaft des Verbundes ist die Continentale Krankenversicherung a.G., die in diesem Jahr ihr hundertjähriges Bestehen begeht. Im Mittelpunkt stehen für die Unternehmen die Bedürfnisse der Versicherten, Vertriebspartner und Mitarbeitenden. Oberster Grundsatz ist es, seriös, vorausschauend und partnerschaftlich zu agieren. So steht die Continentale für Sicherheit, Stabilität und langfristiges, nachhaltiges Denken. Für Vertrauen, das bleibt.

Schlummersack GmbH

Von der Decke zum Schlafsack. Wie sich der Babyschlaf in 25 Jahren verändert hat

Schlummersack feiert sein 25-jähriges Bestehen und zeigt, was wir seitdem über sicheren Babyschlaf gelernt haben

Bild-Infos Download

Düsseldorf (ots)

Dass ein Baby im Schlafsack schläft und nicht unter einer losen Decke, gehört heute zu den etablierten Empfehlungen für das erste Lebensjahr. Vor 25 Jahren war das noch keineswegs selbstverständlich. Als 2001 im südenglischen Berkshire der erste slumbersac entstand, waren Babyschlafsäcke in Deutschland ein Nischenprodukt, dessen Nutzen vielen Eltern erst erklärt werden musste. Aus dieser Idee ist Schlummersack geworden, eine Marke, die 2026 ihr 25-jähriges Bestehen feiert.

Das zeigt auch die Entwicklung beim plötzlichen Kindstod. 2002 starben in Deutschland 367 Säuglinge daran, 2024 waren es 75. Zu diesem deutlichen Rückgang haben verschiedene Empfehlungen und Präventionsmaßnahmen beigetragen, die sich in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten etabliert haben. Dazu gehören die Rückenlage, ein eigenes Bett im Schlafzimmer der Eltern, eine rauchfreie Umgebung sowie ein Schlafsack anstelle einer losen Decke. Die Rückenlage gilt dabei als wichtigste einzelne Maßnahme.

Parallel zu den Empfehlungen hat sich der Schlafsack auch im Alltag durchgesetzt und ist vom erklärungsbedürftigen Nischenprodukt zur normalen Erstausstattung geworden. Schlummersack hat diesen Weg von Anfang an begleitet. Was 2001 in Großbritannien begann, entwickelte sich in Deutschland zu einer Marke, die früh neue Lösungen rund um den Schlafsack aufgegriffen hat. Besonders prägend wurde dabei eine Idee aus dem Familienalltag, der Schlafsack mit Füßen.

Von Berkshire nach Deutschland

Die Geschichte von Schlummersack begann 2001 in Berkshire. Geoffrey und Josephine Wood entwickelten gemeinsam mit ihrem Partner Henry Young einen Babyschlafsack, der die lose Bettdecke ersetzen sollte. Das britische Original kam unter dem Namen slumbersac auf den Markt.

Den Weg nach Deutschland ebnete einige Jahre später Karina Grassy. Sie war damals alleinerziehend und im Londoner E-Commerce tätig. 2010 investierte sie 5.000 Euro ihrer Ersparnisse in 500 Schlafsäcke, lagerte sie im Haus ihrer Eltern in Plauen und begann, sie über einen eigenen Onlineshop zu verkaufen. Bereits im zweiten Jahr waren es rund 20.000 Stück.

2012 übernahm Grassy die Markenrechte für den deutschsprachigen Raum. Aus slumbersac wurde in Deutschland Schlummersack.

Pionier beim Schlafsack mit Füßen

2014 brachte Schlummersack den Schlafsack mit Füßen auf den Markt und gehörte damit zu den Pionieren dieses Produktkonzepts. Die Idee entstand aus einer einfachen Beobachtung des Familienalltags. Kleinkinder wollen nach dem Aufwachen häufig direkt aufstehen und loslaufen, was in einem klassischen geschlossenen Schlafsack kaum möglich ist.

Der Schlafsack mit Füßen verbindet die Wärme und Geborgenheit eines Schlafsacks mit mehr Bewegungsfreiheit für ältere Babys und Kleinkinder. Das Konzept wurde zu einem prägenden Bestandteil der Marke. Bis heute ist der Schlafsack mit Füßen das meistverkaufte Produkt von Schlummersack.

2017 zog das Unternehmen nach Plauen im Vogtland. Für Karina Grassy war es zugleich eine Rückkehr in ihre Heimatregion. Das Lager befindet sich heute im nahe gelegenen Neuensalz.

2023 wurde Schlummersack Teil der empact brands GmbH unter der Führung von Ferdinand von Hammerstein und Daniel Reiners. Heute ist die Marke in mehr als 15 Ländern vertreten, in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz unter dem Namen Schlummersack, international als slumbersac. 2025 wurde die Marke unter anderem mit dem German Brand Award in Gold ausgezeichnet.

1.000 Schlafsäcke zum Jubiläum

Zum 25-jährigen Bestehen verschenkt Schlummersack ab dem 3. September insgesamt 1.000 Schlafsäcke an werdende Eltern. Eine Teilnahme ist bis zum 22. September über www.schlummersack.de möglich.

Darüber hinaus unterstützt das Unternehmen über die Initiative B1G1 mit jedem verkauften Produkt Projekte in den Bereichen Bildung, Gesundheit und Umweltschutz.

"Ich hatte damals 500 Schlafsäcke im Haus meiner Eltern in Plauen stehen und musste den Menschen noch erklären, wofür man so etwas überhaupt braucht. Dass der Schlafsack heute zu den etablierten Empfehlungen für sicheren Babyschlaf gehört, hätte ich mir damals nicht vorstellen können."

Karina Grassy, Inhaberin von Schlummersack bis 2023

"In 25 Jahren hat sich viel verändert, vor allem unser Wissen darüber, wie Babys sicher schlafen. Geblieben sind die Eltern, die nachts für ihre Kinder aufstehen. Für sie entwickeln wir unsere Produkte."

Erasure of Healthcare Stigma for Modern Viral Epidemics : the Data-Driven Approach of 26Health Featured on "All Access hosted by Andy Garcia"

SHARE THIS ARTICLE

A new educational television feature explores how regional community centers are re-engineering the paradigm of long-term chronic care by blending localized medical outreach with data-driven patient advocacy.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The upcoming Public Television segment of "All Access hosted by Andy Garcia" features 26Health to examine the evolving landscape of community healthcare. Filmed on July 29, 2026, in Orlando, Florida, the production highlighted how localized clinical networks address regional transmission spikes through integrated care models. By combining primary medicine, mental health infrastructure, and mobile testing units, the organization removes traditional barriers to entry for historically underserved populations.

26Health

Central to this educational narrative is a sophisticated philosophy of data diversity. The organization addresses clinical blind spots by intentionally gathering inclusive wellness insights from demographics frequently missing from broader medical studies, including Black women. This targeted approach ensures that preventative therapies and operational methodologies reflect the community's true epidemiology, turning regional clinical data into a powerful tool for public education.

"For too long, stigma has been one of the greatest barriers to better health outcomes. We know that people are far more likely to seek care when they feel seen and safe. The 26Health team combines compassionate, community-based care with meaningful data that reflects the populations we serve. That approach allows us not only to identify gaps, but also to improve prevention and deliver care that is both equitable and effective. This is how we build healthier communities today while preparing for the public health challenges of tomorrow," said Latrice Stewart, 26Health President & CEO.

Modern community health networks face significant operational hurdles due to shifting public funding models and localized budget reallocations. When municipal resources for preventative screenings diminish, community clinics must pioneer independent fiscal strategies to sustain complimentary public testing. These financial pressures require creative clinical operations, forcing regional providers to leverage private partnerships and distinct pharmacy programs to offset the rising cost of long-term antiviral therapies.

Beyond financial constraints, deep-rooted social taboos continue to disrupt public health interventions and early diagnoses. Misconceptions regarding viral transmission limits often prevent open dialogue between partners, delaying crucial preventative care. Furthermore, a widespread lack of awareness about modern long-acting injectable therapies and preventative protocols keeps vulnerable populations from utilizing highly effective, discreet medical alternatives that fit easily into daily life.

About "All Access hosted by Andy Garcia": "All Access hosted by Andy Garcia" is an award-winning short-form documentary series engineered for Public Television stations nationwide. The program specializes in producing deeply informative, educational content that highlights groundbreaking advancements across medicine, technology, commerce, and environmental science. By focusing on human-centric stories and macro-industry trends, the platform provides viewers with a sophisticated, nuanced look at the innovations shaping the modern world.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Haut.AI, a SaaS technology company specializing in AI-powered skin intelligence and personalized skincare, today announced the commercial launch of Hair Analysis, a B2B AI-powered hair assessment technology that enables beauty brands and retailers to deliver personalized haircare recommendations through digital commerce experiences.

Hair Analysis combines a smartphone selfie with a short questionnaire to create a personalized hair profile. The technology evaluates six visible hair characteristics, combines those findings with information about a consumer's routine and concerns and connects the resulting profile with relevant products from a brand's catalog. Hair Analysis is now commercially available to beauty and retail companies worldwide.

The launch expands Haut.AI's personalization platform beyond skincare, allowing brands to offer AI-powered skin and hair experiences through the same SaaS infrastructure.

"Haircare has faced a longstanding personalization challenge: hair is highly individual, yet product discovery still often relies on broad categories and trial and error," said Anastasia Georgievskaya, CEO & Co-founder of Haut.AI. "Hair Analysis addresses that gap by combining visual assessment with consumer-provided insights to help brands connect people with more relevant products."

How Haut.AI Hair Analysis Works

Consumers can complete a Hair Analysis assessment in less than one minute. After answering a short questionnaire about their hair, styling habits and concerns, they take a smartphone selfie that is analyzed using Haut.AI's computer-vision technology.

The system evaluates six visible characteristics:

Hair curvature

Hair density

Hair volume

Frizz level

Hair color

Color uniformity

Those findings are combined with questionnaire responses to create a personalized hair profile. The combined inputs support recommendations across 19 hair concerns, including dryness, frizz, split ends, hair loss, chemical damage, dandruff, lack of volume and oily or greasy hair.

Hair Analysis spans 12 product categories, from shampoos and conditioners to treatments, masks, oils, and styling products.

How Hair Analysis Helps Beauty Brands Personalize Haircare

Hair Analysis is delivered through Haut.AI's SaaS platform and can be integrated into beauty brands' and retailers' digital commerce experiences. Brands can manage product catalogs, configure recommendation logic, connect individual hair profiles with relevant products from their own portfolios, and access consumer insights generated from hair analysis data to better understand customer needs and preferences.

Companies already using Haut.AI for skin analysis can add hair personalization through the same platform, creating a unified technology foundation for personalized skin and hair experiences.

Hair Analysis Builds on Haut.AI's Beauty Personalization Technology

Hair Analysis was initially co-developed with Grupo Boticário following the Brazilian beauty company's strategic investment in Haut.AI. The collaboration combined Haut.AI's computer-vision and AI-powered personalization capabilities with Grupo Boticário's experience in haircare science, consumer insights and diverse hair needs. Grupo Boticário served as Haut.AI's launch partner for the technology, which is now available to beauty brands and retailers worldwide.

"As an early partner in the development of Hair Analysis, we've seen firsthand how this technology can make haircare discovery intuitive for consumers," said Gustavo Dieamant, Executive Director of R&D at Grupo Boticário. "Hair needs are incredibly diverse, and Haut.AI has developed a solution that translates that complexity into an experience that helps consumers identify products suited to their individual needs. We're excited to see Haut.AI now bring this technology to beauty brands around the world."

With Hair Analysis joining Haut.AI's Face Analysis 3.0 and recently launched Body Analysis, Haut.AI now provides AI-powered personalization across face, body and hair. This broad coverage enables beauty brands, pharmacy groups and retailers with diverse product portfolios to use a unified technology platform. It helps them address a wider range of consumer needs, deliver more personalized product recommendations and create connected beauty experiences across digital and in-store channels.
