New AI-powered platform leverages routine imaging to identify hidden health risks for women as they age, improving quality of life and reducing healthcare costs

NEW YORK, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Covera Health, a leader in advancing quality-driven radiology, today announced the launch of Protect Her, an innovative AI-powered solution designed to enhance early detection of critical health conditions predominantly impacting women ages 40 and up. Protect Her leverages the latest advances in radiology AI to identify early signs of breast cancer, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis during routine scans that women are already receiving, such as mammograms, chest CTs, and chest x-rays. This platform can often detect disease before symptoms appear, empowering women to proactively seek timely, and potentially lifesaving care.

Addressing a Critical Gap in Women’s Healthcare
Each year, millions of women undergo routine imaging scans, yet many serious conditions go undiagnosed. Cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, and osteoporosis are among the leading causes of death and disability in women, yet early signs of these conditions are often overlooked in routine imaging.

For example:

1 in 5 breast cancers are missed on screening mammogramsUp to 1 in 6 women show early signs of heart disease—such as breast arterial calcifications—on routine mammograms, yet these indicators are rarely reported or acted uponApproximately 1 in 2 women with osteoporosis will experience an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime, and of those that suffer osteoporotic hip fractures, 20% will not survive beyond the first year

Protect Her works at the point of care to ensure women get the most out of their radiology exams with no additional effort.

“Early detection is the single most powerful tool we have to improve health outcomes, particularly for women, who are frequently underdiagnosed in these areas,” said Ron Vianu, CEO of Covera Health. “Protect Her empowers providers with AI-powered insights that can detect serious and life-threatening conditions early, allowing women to get the right care before it’s too late. This is a game-changer for women’s health.”

AI-Powered Detection During Routine Imaging
Protect Her works by analyzing imaging studies that women are already undergoing—such as mammograms and chest x-rays—to flag undetected conditions that traditional radiology may overlook:

Breast Cancer: AI can detect subtle patterns that may indicate early malignancies, increasing detection rates and reducing missed cancers.Cardiovascular Disease: Protect Her flags breast arterial calcifications (BAC), a marker of heart disease visible on mammograms but rarely reported and Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) on chest CT scans, a key predictor of heart disease.Osteoporosis: AI scans routine images for signs of vertebral spine fractures, which are often missed in early stages.

Benefits for Employers & Health Plans
For employers, benefits managers and payors, Protect Her represents a proactive approach to managing healthcare costs and improving employee well-being. This platform allows organizations to prioritize the health and well-being of their employee population, while also delivering lower long-term healthcare costs and higher workplace satisfaction and productivity. By catching diseases early, organizations can:

Improve diagnostic accuracy by enabling Covera’s AI driven platform to support the detection and verification of incidental clinical findings on imaging reports.Reduce high-cost claims associated with late-stage cancer, heart attacks, and osteoporotic fractures.Improve workforce productivity, as early intervention leads to better treatment outcomes and less missed work.Support a healthier employee population, leading to lower long-term healthcare costs and higher workplace satisfaction.

“AI has the ability to transform how we practice medicine, especially when it comes to our ability to detect early signs of disease,” said Dr. Phoebe E. Freer, a leading expert in the field. Dr. Freer is a Professor of Radiology and serves as a Breast Cancer Screening Leader with the American College of Radiology. She is also a Fellow of the Society of Breast Imaging. “By using advanced technology to analyze a patient’s image beyond the primary concern, we can detect high-impact conditions more readily, giving patients and their physicians critical insights that may help them act before a crisis occurs.”

About Covera Health
Covera Health is redefining quality in radiology to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. By combining advanced AI with deep clinical expertise, Covera has developed a suite of innovative radiology programs—including a nationwide Centers of Excellence network—that reduce diagnostic errors and drive better outcomes, lowering the total cost of care.

BWI secures annual 400,000-unit MagneRide® suspension project

Published

on

By

KRAKOW, Poland, April 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BWI Group has recently secured a project to supply magneto-rheological suspensions to a leading automaker, covering multiple models including sedans, SUVs, and high-performance vehicles, with an annual volume of approximately 400,000 vehicles within a life cycle. Meanwhile, the productivity of the fourth-generation MagneRide® suspension is continuing to expand.

As a world-renowned tier-1 automotive supplier, BWI Group has developed prototype vehicles for this project, incorporating the MagneRide® suspension as the core of the chassis, achieving substantial enhancements in chassis performance. This innovative suspension system significantly improves handling while excelling in comfort and stability across multiple dimensions. The high recognition from a leading automaker highlights BWI Group’s cutting-edge suspension technology and reinforces its leadership position in chassis and suspension sectors.

Superior Value and Performance
The fourth-generation BWI MagneRide® suspension boasts a simple structure with active suspension technology, delivering superior handling, comfort, and safety for vehicles. This makes it an optimal choice for smart chassis upgrades involving active suspension systems. The company plans to leverage economies of scale to substantially reduce the cost of this world-leading active suspension technology, thereby making it more accessible to consumers.

When driving a vehicle equipped with the fourth-generation BWI MagneRide® suspension, sensors collect real-time data from the entire vehicle, including the wheels and pedals. The ECU processes this data to perform ultra-high-frequency adjustments up to 1,000 times per second, achieving a response speed 5 to 10 times faster than traditional systems. At a vehicle speed of 100 km/h, the suspension can adjust approximately every 2.5 cm of travel. With a dynamic adjustment range in damping that is about twice that of other technologies, it offers a better balance between comfort and handling.

In the production and development of car models, MagneRide® suspension does not require complex valve systems. The hardware is easier to standardize and universalize, allowing different damping characteristics to be achieved through software adjustments, making it highly adaptable to various scenarios. This flexibility in tuning facilitates subsequent OTA upgrades during vehicle development. The symmetrical compression and rebound forces provide fine-tuning capabilities unmatched by other suspensions, allowing for precise adaptation to minor road surface changes and significantly reducing the tuning and development cycle.

Plume to Introduce Access to Tokenized Gold via Matrixdock, Matrixport’s RWA Platform

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Plume, the first fully integrated blockchain and ecosystem built specifically for Real World Asset Finance (RWAfi), has announced that Matrixdock, a leading tokenized real world asset platform from Asia, will be launching on Plume to introduce access to their fully backed, tokenized gold token XAUm. Matrixdock was the first in Asia to introduce a tokenized short-term treasury bill, and was founded in February 2023 by Matrixport, Asia’s largest all-in-one hub for crypto financial services, with over US$6billion in assets under management.

Gold continues to be a cornerstone asset in investment portfolios, serving as a hedge against inflation and as a portfolio diversifier. Traditional gold markets, however, present challenges including high entry barriers, custody requirements, and limited accessibility. By tokenizing gold, investors benefit from verifiable reserves, efficient settlement, and continuous global access without sacrificing the underlying asset’s stability.

Integrating Matrixdock’s XAUm token enhances Plume’s composability, allowing gold to function as a programmable financial primitive across the entire RWAfi ecosystem. This integration provides a refuge from volatility, allowing traders on Plume to rotate from alternative assets directly into gold as a safe haven asset, instead of relying on stablecoins or Bitcoin. Users will be able to use XAUm across Plume to seamlessly interact with other tokenized assets, whether it be as collateral, settlement, or as a real yield instrument.

“Gold has not only proven its value throughout economic cycles, but is now reaching historic price levels as global interest surges,” said Chris Yin, CEO & Co-Founder at Plume. “Despite this renewed attention, gold’s potential as a yield-generating asset remains largely untapped. “Providing access to XAUm in our ecosystem will create new avenues of real yield for gold, enhancing the diversity of our ecosystem.”

“At Matrixdock, our mission is to redefine gold ownership for the modern era by making it fully transparent, accessible, and on-chain. We’re proud to be a leading gold project on Plume, as we believe the future of gold lies in combining traditional asset quality with digital infrastructure. XAUm is 100% backed by LBMA-accredited investment-grade gold, sourced through our robust refiner network and stored in world-class vaults. Unlike traditional gold products, every token is verifiable in real time—giving users confidence, clarity, and control like never before.” said Eva Meng, Head of Matrixdock.

The inclusion of Matrixdock’s XAUm will unlock new liquidity avenues for traditional market makers and create access to gold yield onchain. As a verifiable alternative to paper gold markets, XAUm offers full transparency and auditability while maintaining the security of physical gold backing. This will enable Plume users to diversify their portfolios with an inflation-resistant asset class that now delivers productive yields previously unavailable to gold holders, and represents a significant step toward realizing the full potential of tokenized commodities within a composable and permissionless RWAfi ecosystem.

About Matrixdock

Founded in February 2023 by Matrixport, Matrixdock is a leader in advanced tokenization technology of real-world assets in Asia. As the first in Asia to introduce a tokenized short-term treasury bill product, STBT, Matrixdock earned the Ecosystem Excellence TADS Award in 2023 for Trading & Liquidity Solutions. In 2024, it launched a one-of-a-kind Tokenized Gold token, XAUm, modernizing traditional gold investment into a dynamic, multifunctional digital asset.
