PathAI Introduces TumorDetect, an AI Solution to Automate Tumor Assessment and Case Prioritization for Anatomic Pathology Laboratories

PathAI

PathAI, a global leader in AI-powered pathology, today announced TumorDetect on AISight™, PathAI’s digital pathology image management system. TumorDetect is an AI-powered feature of AISight which automates the assessment and quantification of tumor across diverse tissue types. This product transforms pathology workflows by enabling case prioritization based on tumor content, helping pathologists to expedite case review, accelerate ordering of additional tests, and improving overall case turnaround time. As cancer incidence and corresponding cancer biopsy volumes continue to rise year-over-year, TumorDetect is designed to ensure that pathologists’ focus is guided to cases with highest likelihood of cancer with the goal of more rapid confirmation of tumor presence (for example, through downstream IHC assessment). In addition to identifying cases and slides likely to contain tumor, the product generates overlay visualizations and slide-level quantifications to facilitate pathologist review. PathAI will be expanding this pilot across its network of 50+ laboratory and early access partners across diverse tumor types globally. "Pathologists are facing increasing demands for faster case turnaround time, against a backdrop of increasing workload. TumorDetect is a game-changer in the field of pathology, empowering pathologists to efficiently prioritize cases based on tumor content," said Andy Beck, MD, PhD, Cofounder & CEO, PathAI. "Our AI-powered solution is designed to expedite the case review process but also facilitates faster turnaround times for labs." “AI-enabled assist tools such as TumorDetect can help pathologists perform important daily tasks – tumor detection and cellularity assessment, which are crucial for biomarker testing and precision medicine,” said Marilyn Bui, MD, PhD, Senior Member in the Departments of Pathology and Machine Learning at Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute. “I am excited about the potential for AI-assisted tumor assessment to augment pathologists’ effectiveness in delivering quality results and streamlining pathology workflows.” TumorDetect’s assessment and prioritization criteria are customizable, allowing pathologists to set personalized tumor content thresholds in line with their unique preferences and requirements. In addition to tumor cell quantification, TumorDetect also generates overlay visualizations highlighting hotspots of possible tumor on whole slide images (WSI). TumorDetect was developed on a dataset comprised of over 100,000 WSIs with over 6 million hand-drawn annotations from expert board-certified subspecialist pathologists, capturing the diversity of ways in which cancers appear in pathology WSIs. This feature, delivered through AISight, significantly aids pathologists during hotspot reviews, allowing for a more focused and targeted analysis of potentially cancerous regions. This announcement follows the launch of several AI algorithm products including AIM-PD-L1™ and AIM-HER2™ for reproducible biomarker and disease severity assessment, ArtifactDetect™ for automated quality control, and AIM-TumorCellularity™ (AIM-TC) for whole-slide level assessment of tumor cellularity. PathAI’s comprehensive suite of eight AI product offerings is designed to power pathologist decision making while optimizing laboratory efficiency.

Haystack Introduces Solution to End Chronic Software Delays Worrying 89% of US Business Leaders

Haystack

Research has found that 70% of software projects fail to be delivered on-time, despite 83% of software engineers rating the importance of on-time completion as high or very high*. Haystack today announces the launch of its Software Delivery Ops Platform, to help deliver high-quality software, on-time. New research has also found the vast majority of business leaders consider on-time delivery of software as essential, but are concerned about it at work. Research conducted by Dr Junade Ali CEng FIET and J.L. Partners on behalf of Haystack has also found that 77% of business decision-makers in the UK and 90% in the USA report on-time delivery as the main way they measure the performance of software engineering teams. Despite this, 81% of business decision-makers in the UK and 89% in the USA are concerned about the on-time delivery of software projects in their organisations**. Through analysing millions of data points, Haystack has identified the most critical risks impacting on-time delivery. This allows any software team to identify early signs of delay before they impact on-time delivery. Julian Colina, CEO of Haystack commented: “Most software projects miss their deadlines, stalling growth and eroding trust. Haystack tackles this widespread issue. Our Software Delivery Ops platform transforms data into decisive actions, turning the tide on the 70% project delay rate. With Haystack, teams consistently meet deadlines, fuel business success, and redefine the standards of software delivery.” Haystack ’s Software Delivery Ops Platform provides a suite of tools designed to keep software delivery on-track. Haystack identifies early warning signs of delay at any point in the delivery process while alerting teams to risks or bottlenecks that appear along the way. Despite on-time delivery being so important, recent industry solutions have focussed on using surveys to measure developer experience and “productivity”. However, November 2023 research by Dr Junade Ali CEng FIET has found a variety of failures in such approaches. Quarterly surveys are not only too slow to address early signs of delay but research indicates software engineers are concerned to voice their true opinions and research shows “those with the lowest programming skill” are most likely to be most over-optimistic at evaluating software delivery performance in large projects. 1 Instead, Haystack ’s Software Delivery Ops platform integrates directly into developer tools like Git and Jira - highlighting signs of delay in real-time without needing to wait for the results of time-consuming surveys and without the biases that subjective surveys suffer from. Kan Yilmaz, CTO of Haystack added: “Haystack is transforming the way software is delivered. We use powerful insights to shatter the chronic cycle of delayed software delivery. Our platform is not just a product, it's a manifesto for change, ensuring engineering teams can commit with confidence and deliver with dignity. It's time we change the narrative from why projects are late to how they're launched successfully - on time, every time.” * Research summarised in a letter by Dr Junade Ali CEng FIET, “ R.e. Predictability in Software Engineering ”. ** Research of 500 US and UK business decision makers conducted by J.L. Partners, commissioned by Dr Junade Ali CEng FIET for Haystack. Fieldwork was conducted from 28 th to 29 th November 2023. J.L. Partners is a member of the British Polling Council and abides by its rules. Research reported in a letter by Dr Junade Ali CEng FIET, “ R.e. Predictability in Software Engineering ”. About Haystack Haystack, the world’s first Software Delivery Ops Platform, helps software teams deliver high-quality software, on-time. Haystack was founded in 2020 by Julian Colina and Kan Yilmaz and helps to identify early signs of delay in software teams.

Stairs Financial raises $3.5M to help next generation of home buyers make moves

Stairs Financial

The number of first time home buyers in the US is shrinking and is at an all-time low. They accounted for just 26% of all home purchases last year, the lowest level in 41 years. Helping these first time home buyers achieve their American Dream, mortgage marketplace Stairs Financial has launched today with a $3.5M funding round. The seed funding round was led by Zigg Capital with participation from Y Combinator, its initial investor Antler, Exceptional Capital and others. This investment will empower Stairs to help millions of young Americans defy economic headwinds like interest rates and high prices to become homeowners. Stair Financial was founded by Malcolm-Wiley Floyd and Scott Fritz, who met as roommates at Harvard. The mortgage marketplace helps connect first time buyers with local lenders as well as detailed down payment assistance. Stairs’ free mortgage comparison product is powered by their database of home buyer programs and mortgage products. It leverages automation and computer vision technology to track changes to assistance programs, like fluctuating rates, updated eligibility requirements, and new program launches. Stairs also provides first time buyers with a growing library of resources and guides to take the uncertainty and unexpected challenges out of buying a home. In addition to their Home Buying Guide, which holds first time buyers’ hands through the basics of interest rates, credit and more, Stairs has also built a specific guide to down payment assistance, focused on how it works and how it can help buyers buy homes with less savings than their parents had. Stairs is now live in Texas with licenses across 40 states. They plan to expand nationwide in early 2024. Stairs is hosting home buyer events in Houston, San Antonio, Austin and Dallas, in collaboration with local real estate experts. Malcolm-Wiley Floyd, CEO and co-founder of Stairs Financial commented: “High interest rates, low inventory and high prices have combined to make it really hard for young Americans to buy homes. Our generation has had to deal with two recessions and a global pandemic during our peak earning and home buying years. Many young Americans won’t be able to afford to buy a home with a conventional 20% down mortgage.” “Thousands of down payment assistance and credit programs have sprung up to help first-time homebuyers overcome the challenges, but these home buying options are hard for home buyers to find and evaluate. Furthermore, home buyers have to find a lender who can underwrite the specific loan program they want to apply for. Stairs helps home buyers find the right mortgage for them, with lower down payments, grants, and flexible underwriting.” Ryan Orley, Managing Partner at Zigg Capital added: "Zigg has studied a number of approaches to expand home affordability. The concept of leveraging technology to navigate the complicated system of incentive programs available to eligible homebuyers is particularly impactful and aligned. We are proud to partner with Malcolm-Wiley and Scott Fritz - they are talented entrepreneurs who deeply understand the problem they are solving at Stairs Financial." Stairs is also committed to addressing the systemic racial injustice in home buying. Black homeownership, at 43.4%, remains lower than it was a decade ago. And it is nearly 30 percentage points behind the White homeownership rate of 72.1%. Meanwhile, the Hispanic homeownership rate is at an all-time high, reaching over 50% for the first time, and the Asian homeownership rate is 61.7%. “The Black-White homeownership gap is larger today than it was ten years ago. As banks and lenders create new programs to address this gap, Stairs plans to incorporate them into their platform and help educate homebuyers on their advantages. As a Black founder, it is important to me that our work at Stairs improves equity and access to home ownership for traditionally disadvantaged communities,” added Malcolm-Wiley Floyd. Ryan Sommerville, General Partner at Antler commented: "Malcolm-Wiley embodies an unwavering commitment to tackling society's real challenges, navigating through the toughest solutions with unyielding focus and an indomitable work ethic. Stairs Financial stands as a testament to his dedication, making it one of my most fulfilling investments to date. We’re incredibly proud to be the first investor in Stairs and looking forward to continuing to back Malcolm-Wiley and the top tier team he’s built.” About Zigg Capital Zigg Capital is a venture capital firm based in New York City that invests globally in technology companies touching the real estate, construction, and retail industries.

Reflection Analytics Launches Digital Platform for Comprehensive ESG Audit and Analysis

Reflection Analytics

Reflection Analytics, a technology company delivering ESG investment evaluation, reporting and advisory services, announced today that it has launched Reflect—the first and only platform for investor-focused ESG analysis, serving asset managers, financial advisors, and investors/institutions across six key areas: advisory, due diligence, compliance, portfolio management, auditing and reporting. Launched just two months after the SEC expanded Rule 35d-1, the “Names Rule,” to include ESG terms, Reflect is the market’s only “Names Rule"-compliant software, providing an investor-focused rating that scores companies across 250 data points in 18 ESG sub-themes while also offering asset managers a portfolio management tool to ensure continuous compliance. Under the SEC’s expanded rule, asset managers have 24 months to begin reporting on their alignment, demonstrating that 80% of their investments are in securities that reflect the terms in their name, or risk regulatory fines and fees. Unlike other ESG rating companies, which focus on only financial materiality and from the corporation’s management perspective, Reflect assesses companies from the perspective of an investor’s understanding and reasonable expectations. “The big ESG ratings agencies aren’t evaluating companies from the investor’s perspective—which the expanded SEC ‘Names Rule' requires—but rather are looking at them from a corporate management perspective, which is a real problem,” said Jason Britton, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Reflection Analytics. “With existing rating methodologies, a company like McDonald’s could have a higher ESG rating than a business focused on reducing greenhouse gases and cleaning up waste. With Reflect, asset managers have, for the first time, the ability to assess investments from the investor’s perspective and at a more granular level.” The SaaS tool assesses companies by benchmarking them against their sector peer group and ranking them by quartile performance. Beyond its use as a compliance tool, Reflect is designed to support values-based investing. The Reflect platform allows advisors, investors and institutions to review portfolios based on ESG components that are most important to them while also identifying types of companies to avoid, such as those associated with weapons or alcohol. After analyzing an investment portfolio, Reflect provides a real-time, percentage-match score, rating investments across 18 sub-themes ranging from “not aligned” to “strongly aligned.” Reflect can also weigh an existing portfolio against a curated list of investments, allowing individuals and institutions to compare assets via a side-by-side analysis. With comprehensive data on 6,500 companies—or 98% of the global market capitalization—the patent-pending software can analyze virtually every asset type, including individual equities, bonds and investments in various structures, including ETFs, mutual funds and SMAs. Like a credit-rating score, Reflect provides investors, advisors and asset managers with the most comprehensive, up-to-date ESG information and the assurance it brings. About Reflection Analytics Reflection Analytics’ patent-pending software—Reflect—is the only ESG ratings tool designed to serve asset managers, financial advisors and investors/institutions across six key areas: advisory, due diligence, compliance, portfolio management, auditing and reporting. Unlike other ESG software, which are reliant on rating methodologies rooted in the corporate perspective, Reflect analyzes 250 data points from an investor-focused viewpoint. As the industry’s only “Names Rule-compliant tool,” Reflect helps portfolio managers meet new compliance standards, with the SEC’s expansion of the “Names Rule” to include ESG funds taking effect in less than two years. Reflect maintains comprehensive self-reported and third-party data on 6,500 companies, or 98% of the global market cap. For more information, visit: www.reflectvalues.com.

News Release

El Salvador To Provide Visas With Crypto Contributions; Altcoin Hype Grows With Dogecoin (DOGE), Meme Moguls (MGLS) and Floki (FLOKI)

Total Media

Tether recently announced that El Salvador will offer visas in exchange for cryptocurrency contributions. This is a significant leap forward in global crypto adoption, which made many altcoins like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Floki (FLOKI) soar. However, one new ICO currently in Stage 1 of its presale is also making headlines - Meme Moguls (MGLS). With a projected surge of 100x in 2024, let’s look at all three of these tokens and what makes MGLS stand out. >>Buy Meme Moguls Today<< How High Will Dogecoin Go? According to crypto analyst Crypto Bullish, Dogecoin (DOGE) recently surpassed the $0.10 milestone. Most importantly, the Dogecoin price hit this mark on the same day as its 10th anniversary, December 6. After this surge, DOGE managed to maintain this level, and it now trades at $0.1006 on December 9. This bullish trend may continue when we look at the Dogecoin technical analysis. Over 25 technical indicators for it are flashing green signals, while this altcoin has experienced 20 positive trading days in the last month. These are great bullish signs, and experts have taken notice. They forecast a potential price surge to $0.1045 before 2023 ends. This Dogecoin price prediction makes DOGE a good altcoin to watch. Meme Moguls: The Top Crypto To Buy According to Statista, the meme industry value is expected to grow to $6.1B by 2025. While there are currently numerous meme-tokens, they may not match Meme Moguls (MGLS). Some experts have labeled it as the best crypto investment anyone can make at the moment. Essentially, Meme Moguls will introduce a one-of-a-kind play-to-earn game where you can learn the delicate art of investing and wealth-building. As a noteworthy feature, you may even compete against other traders in an exciting head-to-head battle with a “winner-takes-all” scenario. The primary rewards for this will be meme assets. The crypto community is excited about this play-to-earn token with utility as a meme coin. This frenzy is evident as over $178,000 USDT has been raised so far in Stage 1 of its presale. One MGLS now costs only $0.0021, but obtaining it will bring you many perks. For instance, you can stake your tokens for significant rewards and gain governance. If Meme Moguls gains the adoption it deserves as a project that will bring something never-before-seen, experts predict a 100x growth to $0.19 in 2024. Those who purchase it now will capitalize on this growth while obtaining a 30% deposit bonus. If you are active on the Meme Moguls X account, you will also participate in a $10,000 giveaway at the end of each presale stage. Floki (FLOKI): Reveals Valhalla Gameplay Floki (FLOKI) recently revealed the open-world gameplay for Valhalla, its new NFT metaverse game. This gameplay showcased many exciting game aspects like the daily quests, world exploration, and more. After this Floki news, its price increased from $0.00004029 on December 8 to $0.00004146 on December 9. Moreover, this Floki price may continue rising if we look at the technical analysis. It is now trading above its 50 and 100-day EMAs while also showing 26 technical indicators in the green. Market analysts have taken note of all these developments when making their Floki price predictions. Therefore, they foresee a potential rise to $0.00004608 before 2023 finishes for this altcoin. Crypto’s Evolution and Excitement As El Salvador pioneers a crypto-centric visa program, altcoins like Dogecoin, Meme Moguls, and Floki will gain traction. However, Meme Moguls will stand out with real utility (governance and as in-game currency), while Dogecoin and Floki are solely hype-based. Moreover, its low market cap means it will surge faster than its rivals as fewer new funds are needed. Therefore, Meme Moguls is the top crypto to buy right now.

New Survey Reveals 77% of American High School Students Feel Overwhelmed by Tests

Bespoke Education

Bespoke Education Inc., which for more than 20 years has provided the highest quality tutoring, test preparation, and academic support to students from elementary through graduate school in both New York and France, today released a survey of parents of American high school students (n=600) in the wake of the last paper-and-pencil SAT exam earlier this month. Ahead of the nearly 100-year old paper test giving way to the future, all-new digital SAT coming in March, the survey showed that: Parents are taking the SAT very seriously with nearly 70% saying their students will take the test; only a small minority of parents say their kids will not take the SAT. Students start SAT preparations early–a majority have started by the end of the previous school year. Students prepare mainly through either self-study, or through SAT preparation and tutoring programs. About three-quarters of all parents report that their children “sometimes” to “always” feel overwhelmed or stressed about an upcoming test. Here is a detailed breakdown of the more important findings: Notwithstanding the decision of more than 2,000 higher education institutes to put test-optional admissions policies in place, parents and students continue to attach great importance to SAT results. A large majority (67.6%) of parents report that they are certain their child(ren) will take the new SAT this year. Q2: Will one of your children be taking the new SAT this year? ““Parents are clearly taking the SAT very seriously.” They intuitively know that the SAT test scores will continue to be important in later life for most American high school students,” said Bespoke Education CEO Tim Levin. Asked when their student(s) will begin preparing for the new SAT, a majority of parents (64.31%) reported that their student(s) either started this past summer or began preparing when school started. Q3: When will your student(s) begin preparing for the new SAT? “I was positively surprised by these answers. We will always recommend that students start preparing for the tests no later than when school starts. Starting after December significantly decreases the odds of posting a good test score,” said Levin. Students prepare for the SATs through self-study using books and online resources (34.46%), enrolling in an SAT preparatory course or tutoring program (28.69%), or participating in school-offered SAT preparatory sessions or workshops (26.76%). Q4: How exactly is/are your student(s) preparing or planning to prepare for the new SAT? “The most important thing is not how students prepare, but that they prepare. Fortunately, parents can choose from a number of options to help their student test takers develop the skills and confidence needed to perform at their best on test day. And of course, digital resources have made self-study much more valuable,” added Levin. The minority of parents with students who will not take the test were asked why these students would not take the SAT test. The number one answer to this question was that their student(s) is/are taking an alternative test (e.g. ACT) instead. Coming in second place, under “other,” a plethora of answers followed that seem to indicate that there is uncertainty with some parents on whether SAT tests are actually still taken. Third comes the answer that the colleges where parents are considering applying have test-optional admissions policies in place. Significantly, 8.05% of students will not take the SAT test because of stress or anxiety. Q7: Why will your student(s) not take the SAT? Parents were also asked to which degree their children feel overwhelmed by tests. 77.26% of parents report that their children feel “sometimes,” “often,” or “always” overwhelmed or stressed about an upcoming test. 40.19% feel either often or always overwhelmed. Q8: How often have one or more of your children expressed feeling overwhelmed or stressed about an upcoming test? On the question of how parents normally help their child(ren) cope with test anxiety, a large majority (65.01%) answered that they counsel their children themselves. “Test-related stress is a very real problem for many students but it can be addressed. That means teachers, counselors, tutors, and parents must get involved in supporting students as they prepare,” said Levin. “We expect stress levels to diminish as students become more comfortable with the new digital format, which is more accessible and less intimidating than the 100-year old paper version it replaces.” On the survey The survey was run on October 25, 2023. A total of 600 parents of American high school children were surveyed. 65.83% of all respondents were between 34 and 44 years old. 24.33% were between 45 and 55 and 9.83% were older than 54. All respondents lived in the United States. 49.17% were male, 50.83% were female.
