BERLIN, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — VIDIZMO, a Gartner and IDC-recognized provider of AI-powered solutions, is participating in the GITEX EUROPE 2025, happening from May 21 to 23, 2025 at Messe Berlin, Germany.

Originally part of VIDIZMO product offerings, VIDIZMO AI services have grown in scope to serve the complex data and automation requirements of businesses and government agencies worldwide.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming industries, from German manufacturing and French healthcare to Dutch fintech, and government as a whole, and Europe is at the forefront of ethical AI regulation. This year’s GITEX EUROPE will spotlight critical priorities, such as AI governance and the continent’s digital transformation. As the European Union (EU) implements landmark regulations, such as the AI Act and NIS2 Directive, the event will explore how businesses and government organizations can benefit from advanced cross-sector AI applications to align their existing processes while maintaining compliance, security, and ethical standards.

This AI integration helps businesses and government agencies implement automated workflows for video, audio, and data analysis, conversational AI, data querying and intelligence, object detection, optical character recognition (OCR), redaction, and more. This results in the maximization of limited resources, reduces administrative costs, and saves time.

Europe is heading towards an unprecedented digital transformation driven largely by AI adoption. The adoption of AI can be catalyzed through responsible AI solutions that can be deployed anywhere to meet with the continent’s regulatory requirements,” said Nadeem Khan, CEO of VIDIZMO. “At GITEX EUROPE 2025, VIDIZMO will showcase how its GDPR-compliant, ethical AI solutions can drive AI adoption across different industries and shape Europe as one of the AI leaders.”

Houston County Jail Launches OverWatch™ by 4Sight Labs to Safeguard Lives and Modernize Operations

By

DOTHAN, Ala., May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Houston County has officially deployed 4Sight Labs’ OverWatch™ technology in its detention facility, marking a significant step forward in advancing inmate safety and operational transparency. Under the leadership of Sheriff Donald Valenza and Captain David Asbill, Jail Commander, the county received 15 OverWatch™ sensors and 4 gateway devices, providing comprehensive coverage throughout the Houston County Jail facility.

OverWatch™ is a wearable system developed by 4Sight Labs to monitor vital signs and movement in real-time. With proactive alerts and continuous oversight, the system is designed to reduce in-custody deaths and improve response times to health or behavioral emergencies.

“Our top priority is the safety and well-being of everyone inside this facility,” said Captain Asbill. “OverWatch gives us another tool to meet that responsibility — it allows our staff to respond faster and more effectively when someone is in medical distress or showing warning signs. It’s a smart step forward for our operations and for the people we serve.”

The integration of OverWatch™ aligns with a broader national movement toward data-driven corrections management and inmate wellness. The sensors, worn by inmates, transmit data to strategically placed gateway devices, enabling 24/7 monitoring and immediate alerting when readings deviate from safe thresholds.

This deployment reflects Houston County’s commitment to public safety innovation and makes it one of a growing number of forward-thinking jurisdictions leveraging OverWatch™ to transform correctional care.
