IR-MED and Dice Technologies Announce collaboration to Evaluate and Advance Pressure-Injury Prevention Platform in Japan

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.”

Malmö Project Outlines Business Proposal Development and Project Funds Management Activities in the Netherlands

Published

on

Netherlands, 10th Oct 2026 — The Malmö Project, presented by Audrius Razma under the Project Funds Manager designation at Ossendrecht Contract, outlines an approach to business project proposal development, investment-related research, and the coordination of professional support services. The initiative is documented on the project’s online platform, where readers can explore its stated objectives and the resources associated with its activities.

The project information is published on the website of Audrius Razma and references Malmö as the focus of its business proposal activities. It describes the use of publicly available company information to develop commercial project proposals that may be presented to businesses for consideration and potential financing.

Business Research and Project Proposal Development

A central element of the Malmö Project is the preparation of business proposals informed by company information. The published material encourages readers to examine lists of businesses identified as potential investment opportunities and use relevant information to develop structured project proposals.

Business proposal development typically involves understanding a company’s activities, identifying potential commercial opportunities, assessing resource requirements, and presenting a clear rationale for a proposed initiative. A well-organized proposal can help prospective business partners evaluate the purpose, feasibility, and expected costs of a project before deciding whether to participate.

The project’s stated approach places emphasis on commercial awareness and the preparation of written material based on available business information. Such work requires careful research, transparent assumptions, and clear documentation of any projected financial outcomes.

Companies and individuals considering a proposal should independently verify the information used, assess the associated risks, and establish the terms of any potential funding arrangement before making financial commitments.

The Role of Project Funds Management

Audrius Razma is identified in the published material as the Project Funds Manager associated with Ossendrecht Contract. The role provides an administrative framework for the project’s discussion of funding proposals, portfolio documentation, and financial coordination.

Project funds management generally involves organizing financial records, documenting proposed allocations, monitoring project-related expenditures, and maintaining information that supports financial reviews. These activities can help stakeholders understand how a project is structured and what resources may be required for its implementation.

Clear documentation is particularly important when proposals involve multiple companies, external service providers, or prospective funding partners. Written agreements, verifiable records, and clearly defined responsibilities can help establish expectations and support informed decision-making.

Professional Support and Documentation

The online material also references professional services relating to legal assessments, translation, accounting reviews, investigative research, and the preparation of supporting reports. These services are presented as potential resources for individuals seeking assistance with complex administrative, financial, or legal matters.

Depending on the circumstances, professional support may help individuals organize documents, understand procedural requirements, review financial information, or prepare materials for consultation with qualified advisers.

Legal matters involving compensation claims, business liabilities, insolvency, or disputes with public authorities require an assessment of the relevant facts and applicable law. Outcomes depend on the evidence, jurisdiction, and individual circumstances. Individuals should therefore seek advice from appropriately qualified professionals before relying on potential compensation estimates or pursuing legal action.

Similarly, investment proposals should be reviewed carefully, with attention to the identity of the parties involved, the source and availability of funds, the proposed terms, and any associated risks.

Accessing Information About the Malmö Project

The project page provides the primary reference for readers interested in reviewing the Malmö Project’s published information. It outlines the proposal-development concept and identifies the associated project-management contact.

The initiative is presented in the context of business research, funding-related documentation, and coordination with professional service providers. Its practical application will depend on the details of individual proposals, the reliability of supporting information, and the terms agreed upon by the relevant parties.

Readers can consult the published page to learn more about the project’s stated approach and determine whether further clarification is required before entering into any business or financial arrangement.

Lovering & Partners adds AI role-play for leadership, sales and influence skills with LeaderCoreAI

Published

on

The Bucharest performance consultancy becomes an authorised LeaderCoreAI partner and reseller for Romania and Central and Eastern Europe

Romania, 10th Oct 2026 – Lovering & Partners, the Bucharest-based business, sales and people performance consultancy, now offers AI role-play for leadership, sales and influence skills through a partnership with Blue Horizon Training, the maker and owner of LeaderCoreAI. Lovering & Partners becomes an authorised LeaderCoreAI partner and reseller for Romania and the wider Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region.

AI role-play simulations for difficult conversations

LeaderCoreAI is an artificial intelligence (AI) simulation platform for leadership development. Participants hold spoken, realistic conversations with AI characters – a resistant team member, a sceptical client, a room of peer managers with competing agendas. Each session ends with scored feedback and concrete recommendations.

Lovering & Partners will embed the platform into three of its own areas of work: leadership coaching and its acceleration programme for emerging leaders and managers, consultative sales training, and its ethical influence programmes. Between workshops and coaching sessions, participants practise the conversations those programmes prepare them for. They can repeat a conversation as often as they want, at five levels of difficulty.

Why practice decides whether training sticks

Pilots train to excellence in flight simulators before they carry passengers. Managers rarely get that chance. Role-play with colleagues offers a few attempts, limited by time and by the discomfort of practising in front of people they work with. So the first real test of a new skill usually comes in a real conversation, with a real person. The partnership brings the simulator into Lovering & Partners’ programmes.

“A workshop gives people the method. It does not give them the repetitions to build new capabilities,” said Colin Lovering, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Lovering & Partners. “Every client asks us the same question: will this training build skills that stick? No trainer can honestly guarantee that. Under pressure, people fall back on old instincts unless the new behaviour has been practised until it becomes the instinct. Now our clients’ people can get that practice, as much as they need.” 

“We build the practice ground,” said Frank Basinski, founder of Blue Horizon Training. “We rely on partners who know how to develop people. Colin and his team have spent years doing that work with organisations in Romania and across the region. That is why we wanted them as a partner.”

How a learner experiences an AI role-play session

For the learner, a session feels like the real conversation. They speak, and the characters answer back, disagree and react to how they are treated. Nobody is watching, so people try approaches they would perhaps not dare with a real colleague. The feedback afterwards is theirs alone: what worked, what did not, and what to try next time. Participants can practise in 42 languages, so Lovering & Partners can offer the platform to multinational clients across the region.

Availability

LeaderCoreAI is available through Lovering & Partners with immediate effect, as part of its programmes or alongside them.

About Lovering & Partners

Lovering & Partners is a business, sales and people performance consultancy based in Bucharest, Romania. The firm helps organisations achieve strategic growth in those three areas. Every engagement is tailored to the client and measured by the outcome it delivers. Lovering & Partners is a founding member of the Cialdini Institute and works in English and Romanian. It is a trading name of Achieve International S.R.L. www.loveringpartners.com

About LeaderCoreAI and Blue Horizon Training

LeaderCoreAI is an AI role-play and simulation platform for leadership, sales and influence skills, made and owned by Blue Horizon Training S.R.L. of Bucharest, Romania. Leaders practise difficult conversations with AI characters in 42 languages and receive scored feedback after every session. LeaderCoreAI is sold through authorised partners who embed it into their own development programmes. Blue Horizon Training has designed and run leadership development programmes since 2020. leadercore.ai

Arthur Murray Dance Studio Makes Learning to Dance Accessible to Everyone

Published

on

Arthur Murray Dance Studio Parkland welcomes singles and couples with beginner-friendly dance lessons designed to build practical skills, confidence, and enjoyment.

PARKLAND, FL– Arthur Murray Dance Studio Parkland is making Ballroom Dance Lessons Parkland, FL more accessible to singles and couples by providing a welcoming environment where students can learn regardless of previous experience or whether they have a dance partner. The studio encourages people who have always wanted to dance but may have felt hesitant about getting started to discover an approachable way to learn. 

Instruction helps students gradually build practical skills, confidence, and comfort on the dance floor. By welcoming people with different goals and experience levels, the studio aims to make dancing an enjoyable activity that more members of the Parkland community can explore.

No Dance Partner Is Required to Get Started

One concern prospective students often have is whether they need to bring a partner to dance lessons. Arthur Murray Dance Studio Parkland welcomes individuals and couples, so people can begin learning even if they don’t have someone available to attend lessons with them. Students can work with instructors to learn timing, movement, leading, following, and other fundamentals of partner dancing. This gives individuals the opportunity to begin their dance journey without waiting to find a partner.

Couples are equally welcome when they want to learn a shared skill, spend time together, or prepare for an upcoming occasion. Instruction can be adapted to each student’s experience, interests, and reasons for learning rather than expecting everyone to progress in exactly the same way. Singles and couples can develop skills for weddings, parties, date nights, vacations, and other social occasions where dancing may be part of the experience. The focus is on helping students make steady progress while enjoying the learning process.

Beginners Can Build Dance Skills One Step at a Time

Starting a new activity can feel intimidating, especially when it involves moving in front of other people. Arthur Murray Dance Studio Parkland works with beginners by introducing dance skills progressively and building from manageable fundamentals. Students can build rhythm, footwork, posture, partner connection, and basic patterns before moving on to more detailed techniques. This structured approach can make ballroom and social dancing easier to understand for people starting with little or no previous experience.

Students also arrive with different goals, so their learning experiences don’t have to look identical. One person may want enough confidence to participate at social events, while another may want to learn several ballroom or Latin dance styles. Others may simply want an enjoyable activity that combines movement, social interaction, and the challenge of developing a new skill. Instructors can use those individual goals to help shape how each student progresses.

Private Dance Lessons Provide Personalized Attention

Students who want focused instruction can explore private dance lessons Parkland, FL designed around their individual abilities and objectives. Private lessons let instructors observe movement closely, answer questions, and spend extra time on skills that may require more practice. Students can work on timing, technique, patterns, leading, following, or overall confidence at a pace appropriate for their current level. The personalized setting can benefit complete beginners and dancers who want to refine skills they already have.

Individual instruction can also change as a student’s interests and abilities develop. Someone who initially wants to feel more comfortable at a party may later decide to explore additional ballroom or social dance styles. Another student may have a particular event approaching and want to concentrate on the movements most useful for that occasion. This flexibility keeps lessons connected to what each person wants to achieve, rather than placing every student on the same learning path.

Wedding Dance Lessons Help Couples Prepare Together

Weddings are one of the occasions that inspire many people to enter a dance studio for the first time. Couples interested in wedding dance lessons Parkland, FL can receive instruction based on their selected song, previous experience, preparation time, and vision for their first dance. Some couples want something simple and natural, while others may prefer turns, transitions, or more detailed choreography. Lessons can be adapted so the final dance reflects the couple’s comfort level and the atmosphere they want to create.

Preparing together can help couples become more comfortable moving as partners before their wedding day arrives. Lessons may focus on timing, leading, following, partner connection, and movements that work naturally with the selected music. Repeated practice can make the dance more familiar so couples can spend less time worrying about the next step during their reception. The skills they develop may also be useful at future weddings, celebrations, and other occasions where they can dance together.

An Inclusive Community Makes Dancing More Approachable

Arthur Murray Dance Studio Parkland aims to create an environment where students from different backgrounds and experience levels can feel comfortable learning. For beginners, being around other people who are developing their own skills can make the process feel less intimidating. Students can discover that ballroom dancing is not limited to experienced performers or people who already consider themselves naturally coordinated. Instead, it can become an enjoyable social and recreational activity developed through instruction, practice, and continued participation.

“We want people to know that they do not need previous experience or even a dance partner to begin,” said Luci, contact person for Arthur Murray Dance Studio Parkland. “Our goal is to give each student a welcoming place to learn at a comfortable pace, develop useful dance skills, and build the confidence to enjoy dancing when opportunities come along.” This inclusive approach lets students focus on their goals instead of worrying about what they think they should already know. It also gives people who have previously felt unsure about taking dance lessons a more comfortable way to get started.

Dance Skills Can Add More Enjoyment to Social Experiences

Learning to dance can provide value beyond time spent in the studio. Students may use their skills at weddings, parties, vacations, date nights, community gatherings, and other occasions where music and dancing are part of the experience. Greater familiarity with basic movement and partner dancing can make those situations feel more inviting and less intimidating. For some students, dancing may also become a long-term recreational interest and a way to connect with others.

Arthur Murray Dance Studio Parkland serves students throughout Parkland, FL, who have many different reasons for wanting to learn. Some are preparing for an important event, while others want to try something new, spend meaningful time with a partner, or become more comfortable socially. The studio’s approach lets those motivations guide the learning experience while giving students room to develop at their own pace. As their abilities grow, students can continue exploring different dances, developing techniques, and setting new goals.

Start Your Dance Journey in Parkland

Prospective students don’t need to wait until they have a partner, a special event, or previous dance experience to take their first lesson. Getting started can be as simple as discussing personal goals with an instructor and learning foundational movements that provide a starting point for continued instruction. Students can then explore lessons that match their interests while gradually building their skills through instruction and practice. Both singles and couples are welcome to begin at a level that matches their current experience.
