Published

on

Rosh Pinna, Israel, September 16th, 2026, FinanceWire

  • Letter of Intent (“LOI”) signed to cooperate in the evaluation, research support, localization, commercialization preparation and regulatory preparation of the PressureSafe™ medical device in Japan.
  • Collaboration addresses a significant potential market need in Japan, which includes more than 36 million people aged 65 and older and approximately 8,000 hospitals, 13,600 long-term care facilities, and 16,000+ home-visit nursing stations.
  • Strategic collaboration combines IR-MED’s infrared spectroscopy technology and proprietary algorithm with Dice Technologies’ capabilities in coordinating clinical evaluation, localization and regulatory preparation activities in Japan.
  • Clinical research and evidence-generation activities are expected to include cooperation with the Department of Plastic Surgery at Kobe University, subject to required ethics review, institutional approvals and separate written arrangements.

IR-MED Ltd. (OTC: IRME) (the “Company” or “IR-Med”), developer of infrared spectroscopy-based medical device technology,, and Dice Technologies Co., Ltd., a leading Japanese healthcare digital transformation and medical IT provider, today announced the signing of a LOI. The LOI sets forth a framework for the parties to cooperate in the evaluation, research support, localization, commercialization preparation and regulatory preparation of IR-MED’s PressureSafe™ device for the Japanese market. Except for certain provisions relating to confidentiality and data protection, intellectual property rights, and device management, return and disposal, the LOI is not intended to create legally binding obligations between the parties.

Ultimately, the partnership is driven by a shared, transformative vision: Build pressure-injury prevention platform — device, AI, and EHR systems unified across hospitals, LTC, and home care nation wide

The parties intend to evaluate PressureSafe™ for use in hospitals, long-term care facilities and home healthcare settings in Japan, with a focus on supporting the assessment of early signs of pressure injuries.

PressureSafe™ is a medical device that uses infrared technology to support the assessment of early changes associated with pressure injuries and skin conditions. It provides real-time, on-site, non-thermal and blood-flow-related indicators intended to support, and not replace, the clinical judgment of nurses and physicians. PressureSafe™ combines infrared spectroscopy with a proprietary algorithm and is intended to support the assessment of early signs of pressure injuries.

Market Need in Japan

Japan is facing an unprecedented demographic and systemic challenge. With an aging population of 36.19 million individuals aged 65 and older (29.4% of the total population), national care expenditures have reached a record ¥11.94 trillion. Concurrently, the healthcare sector is bracing for a projected shortage of hundreds of thousands of nurses and approximately 300,000 care workers.

This convergence of an aging population and severe workforce shortages has driven a significant increase in the prevalence of pressure injuries—particularly in the rapidly growing home care sector, which reports a 1.93% prevalence rate. To address this, Japan requires scalable, technology-assisted care solutions across its approximately 8,000 hospitals (1.2 million beds), 13,600 long-term care facilities (1.0 million residents), and 18,042 home-visit nursing agencies.

A complementary Strategic Synergy

The collaboration between IR-MED and Dice Technologies represents a highly complementary alignment of technological innovation and domestic operational mastery.

  • The Technology & Science Engine (IR-MED): IR-MED brings its proprietary PressureSafe™ sensors, predictive AI algorithms, and a foundation of global clinical data. The technology addresses the crucial “Layer 1” of early risk assessment—sub-epidermal tissue health—providing objective metrics to a field that has historically relied on subjective visual observation.
  • The Domestic Commercial & Integration Leader (Dice Technologies): Dice Technologies will lead and coordinate the evaluation program in Japan. Leveraging an established nationwide footprint serving over 1,000 clinics well-distributed across Japan, Dice Technologies will support Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (“PMDA”) consultation preparation and regulatory communications in Japan.. Crucially, Dice Technologies bridges the gap between device and daily workflow by integrating PressureSafe™ data into its existing CareNest platform and domestic Electronic Health Records (“EHR” ), creating a seamless data flow from the hospital to the patient’s home.

Phased Rollout and Clinical Validation

The partnership will execute a highly structured, reverse L-shaped Go-to-Market strategy. The initial phase will focus on real-world evaluations in long-term care (“LTC”) and home-visit settings to generate clinical utility data and user feedback.

Simultaneously, the partners will advance rigorous clinical research and PMDA consultation to support the regulatory pathway for PressureSafe™ in Japan. This validation process will be bolstered by anticipated cooperation with Japanese clinical leaders, including the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Kobe University, subject to required ethics review, institutional approvals and separate written arrangements.

Executive Commentary

Ken Ishiga, President and Representative Director of Dice Technologies Co., Ltd., stated, “Japan’s care crisis cannot be solved with isolated tools. We must unify prevention, observation, and discharge support. By combining IR-MED’s extraordinary ‘sensing the invisible’ technology with our EHR integrations and CareNest platform, we are delivering on our shared vision to build a continuous, patient-centered care infrastructure that supports our overstretched healthcare workforce over the long term.”

“Entering the Japanese market requires more than just groundbreaking technology; it requires a deep integration into the local care ecosystem. In Dice Technologies, we have found the perfect partner,” said Dr. Yaniv Cohen, Interim CEO and Chief Scientific Officer of IR-MED. “Their expertise in medical IT, their impressive footprint serving over 1,000 care facilities, and their ability to navigate PMDA regulations make them the ideal catalyst for PressureSafe™. Together, we are not just evaluating a device; we are working toward a new national standard for objective, preventive care.”

Premium Package Valemont Invest Inc to Launch Fourth Quarter 2026 Online Education Program on November 7

Published

on

Founder Evan Valemont will continue to lead the investment education division

United States, 3rd Nov 2026 – Valemont Invest Inc. announced that its investment education division will hold an online opening ceremony on November 7, 2026, to formally launch its fourth-quarter education program. Founder Evan Valemont will continue to lead the division. The program is designed to help investors understand market developments, evaluate investment opportunities and take a more structured approach to risk management and trading decisions.

According to the company, instruction will begin with practical questions about individual stock movements, the durability of market themes and rebound signals, then explore the relationships among capital flows, sector rotation and business performance. The program will invite seasoned financial market experts to participate in livestreams, connecting specific market developments with the decisions investors face in their day-to-day activities.

In an interview, Evan Valemont said the program aims to help investors clarify the reasoning behind buying, setting stop-loss levels, holding and exiting: which opportunities warrant participation, at what price level losses should be limited, what developments support holding a position and when an earlier decision should be reassessed. He emphasized that understanding the forces behind market moves can help reduce the influence of price swings and emotion on decision-making.

The program will also incorporate CortexQuant (CQ), the company’s internally developed research support system, as an instructional tool. It will help illustrate the research process, from interpreting market information and articulating an investment rationale to assessing risk. Instruction will emphasize the conditions that support a judgment and how to reassess a view when circumstances change, helping participants understand the connection between the analysis and its conclusions.

Instruction on trade execution will connect stop-loss planning and position sizing with individual risk tolerance. Topics will include defining the investment rationale and acceptable loss before buying, identifying developments to monitor while holding, and distinguishing among achieving an objective, rising risk and a change in the investment thesis when exiting. Interest rates, corporate earnings and cash flow will also be covered to help participants understand how market expectations form and evolve.

Seasoned financial market experts will participate in accompanying livestreams focused on market developments and their underlying drivers. Valemont said the sessions are intended to show participants how researchers frame questions, assess the significance of information and examine different perspectives, connecting the methods taught in the program with observations of actual market conditions.

The quarterly program will also address ongoing monitoring and post-trade review, helping participants revisit their initial judgments, the actions they took and the eventual outcomes to identify areas for improvement. By combining classroom instruction with follow-up discussions, the company aims to translate research approaches into learning methods investors can continue to apply.

Valemont concluded by reaffirming the company’s mission: “Structure creates clarity. Technology makes it scalable.” He said the program will follow that direction, using clearly organized instruction and supporting technology tools to help participants understand complex market issues.

Past performance does not indicate future results.

Founded in 2021, Anthropic provides AI models and products, including Claude Code, to businesses and developers. Its proposed listing remains subject to regulatory approvals and market conditions.

“The S-1 puts filed numbers behind growth the market had mostly followed through funding rounds. ANTHUSD has given clients a way to take a view on Anthropic since June, well before its shares begin trading.”- Peter Karsten, CEO, STARTRADER

ANTHUSD is a CFD and provides price exposure only. Clients do not own Anthropic shares, receive any IPO allocation or hold shareholder rights. Its pricing may differ from any future share price. Trading availability, pricing and liquidity are subject to market conditions and applicable product terms.

Risk Warning: CFDs are complex instruments and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Pre-IPO CFDs may be subject to limited liquidity, wider spreads and significant price volatility, and there is no guarantee that the underlying company will complete a public listing.

With experience in various electrical projects, Ryan Cassidy Electrician offers solutions tailored to individual property requirements. Its services support modern electrical needs, including electric vehicle charging installations and system upgrades.

Blackstone, Massachusetts, United States, 3rd Nov 2026 – Ryan Cassidy Electrician is highlighting its residential electrical services for homeowners looking to support electric vehicle ownership, improve electrical capacity, and prepare their homes for modern power demands. Based in Blackstone, Massachusetts, the company serves surrounding communities with electrical services that include EV charger installation, electrical panel and service upgrades, lighting installation, generator installation, and wiring. Homeowners can discuss their project requirements, existing electrical systems, and installation needs with the company before scheduling service.

Ryan Cassidy Electrician Highlights EV Charger Installation and Electrical Upgrade Services

Why Modern Electrical Services Matter

Homes today often need to support more electrical equipment than they did when they were first built. Electric vehicles, new appliances, home offices, heating and cooling equipment, and other electrical devices can place additional demands on existing systems. An electrical assessment helps determine whether a home can accommodate new equipment safely and whether changes to the existing wiring, panel, or service may be necessary.

EV charging is one example of this growing demand. While some homes can accommodate a new charger with limited electrical work, others may require additional capacity or panel modifications. Understanding the home’s existing electrical setup before installation helps homeowners plan the work, identify potential limitations, and make informed decisions about their electrical needs.

EV Charger Installation in Mendon, MA

Homeowners considering an electric vehicle can explore EV charger installation in Mendon, MA with Ryan Cassidy Electrician. Installing a home charging station provides a convenient way to charge a vehicle between trips, particularly for residents who prefer charging at home rather than relying exclusively on public charging locations.

Before installation, the property’s electrical capacity, panel condition, charger requirements, and proposed installation location should be reviewed. The distance between the electrical panel and charging area, the routing of wiring, and any necessary circuit protection can affect the scope of work. An assessment helps establish the installation requirements and identify whether additional electrical work may be needed.

Homeowners should also consider their daily driving habits, vehicle specifications, and preferred charging location when selecting equipment. Proper planning helps ensure that the charging setup is appropriate for the property and intended use.

Generator Installation in Millis, MA

Reliable backup power is an important consideration for households that want to prepare for electrical interruptions. Through generator installation in Millis, MA, homeowners can explore backup power options based on their household’s electrical requirements and the equipment they want to operate during an outage.

The appropriate generator depends on the intended load, available installation space, fuel requirements, and the home’s electrical configuration. Some homeowners may want to prioritize essential circuits, such as refrigeration, lighting, and selected heating equipment, while others may need a larger system to support additional household loads.

A properly planned installation also requires attention to transfer equipment, electrical connections, applicable codes, and manufacturer requirements. Homeowners should discuss their priorities before selecting a system so the proposed installation reflects their backup power needs.

Electrical Panel and Service Upgrades in Wellesley, MA

An electrical panel plays an important role in distributing power throughout a home. As households add appliances, charging equipment, and other electrical devices, the existing electrical system may need to be evaluated to determine whether it can support the additional demand.

Ryan Cassidy Electrician provides information about electrical panel and service upgrades in Wellesley, MA for homeowners experiencing capacity limitations or planning significant electrical additions. Depending on the property’s condition and electrical requirements, the work may involve evaluating the existing panel, reviewing service capacity, addressing outdated components, or making changes needed to support new equipment.

A panel upgrade is not automatically necessary whenever a homeowner adds an appliance or charger. The correct approach depends on the existing installation, calculated electrical loads, available capacity, and applicable electrical requirements. Having the system assessed before beginning a project can help homeowners understand the work involved and plan accordingly.

EV Charger Installation in Douglas, MA

Residents researching EV charger installation in Douglas, MA can consider how a dedicated home charging station may fit into their everyday routines. Charging at home can reduce the need for frequent public charging stops and allow drivers to recharge their vehicles while parked overnight or during other periods when the vehicle is not in use.

The installation process starts with reviewing the selected charger and the property’s electrical system. The electrician can evaluate the proposed location, circuit requirements, wiring route, and panel capacity to determine the work needed. If the existing system has limitations, those issues should be identified before installation proceeds.

Homeowners should choose charging equipment compatible with their vehicle and intended charging needs. Installation should follow applicable electrical codes, manufacturer instructions, and relevant permitting requirements. These considerations help support a charging arrangement that suits the property and is designed for safe operation.

EV Charger Installation in Dover, MA

For homeowners planning to purchase an electric vehicle or improve their existing charging arrangement, EV charger installation in Dover, MA offers an opportunity to evaluate home charging options. The right setup depends on the vehicle, charger specifications, electrical capacity, and the location where the vehicle will be parked.

A site assessment can help determine where the charger should be installed and whether the existing panel and wiring can accommodate the additional load. Homeowners may also need to consider the distance from the electrical panel, indoor or outdoor installation conditions, and the accessibility of the charging point.

Planning these details in advance helps establish a clear scope of work and reduces the likelihood of unexpected installation requirements. Ryan Cassidy Electrician encourages homeowners to discuss their electrical setup and project goals before moving forward with a new charging station.

A Focus on Electrical Safety and Planning

Electrical projects require more than choosing equipment and deciding where it should be installed. The condition of existing wiring, the capacity of electrical components, circuit protection, and compliance with applicable codes all influence the installation process.

For projects involving EV chargers, generators, or electrical panels, an initial assessment helps identify relevant requirements before work begins. Homeowners should avoid overloading existing circuits or attempting electrical modifications without appropriate qualifications. Work involving new circuits, service equipment, and permanently installed charging systems should be handled by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable regulations.

Clear communication also helps homeowners understand the proposed scope, expected work, and any additional requirements. By reviewing the property and discussing the intended use of the equipment, the electrician can help determine an appropriate course of action.

How the Service Process Works

The process begins with a discussion about the homeowner’s electrical needs. This may involve installing an EV charger, evaluating backup power options, or determining whether an existing electrical panel can support planned additions.

The next step is to review the property’s electrical system and establish the requirements for the proposed work. Depending on the project, this can include checking panel capacity, identifying a suitable equipment location, planning wiring routes, and determining whether permits or additional modifications are required.

After the scope is established, the homeowner can review the proposed work and associated estimate before scheduling. Installation is then carried out according to the applicable requirements for the project. A final review helps confirm that the installed equipment and electrical connections have been addressed as required.
