PathAI Launches AIM-HER2 Breast Cancer, an Artificial Intelligence-Powered HER2 Scoring Algorithm for Biopharma Research and Clinical Labs

PathAI

PathAI, a leading provider of AI-powered pathology tools to advance precision medicine, today announced the availability of AIM-HER2 Breast Cancer [i] for research use by clinical laboratories, researchers, and drug developers. AIM-HER2 Breast Cancer delivers automated digital HER2 scoring and is the market’s first algorithm to use additive multiple instance learning (aMIL) heatmaps to visualize the slide features driving the algorithm’s predicted score. AIM-HER2 will be available to biopharma researchers and clinical research lab pathologists on PathAI’s AISight TM [i] digital pathology platform in both the clinical research lab and clinical trial setting. “HER2 IHC assays have provided immense impact to patients by allowing for a widely available test to establish drug eligibility,” said Mike Montalto, Chief Scientific Officer at PathAI. “With AIM-HER2 Breast Cancer, we at PathAI sought to build upon the success of HER2 testing by assisting pathologists in their ability to more confidently score HER2, especially in borderline cases that can be the most challenging and time consuming to review. We also look forward to partnering with drug developers who may be interested in enhancing the scoring of the more recently described HER2 low assay as an important emerging patient population.” In addition to predicting slide-level HER2 score, AIM-HER2 Breast Cancer’s visualizations on AISight utilize additive multiple instance learning (aMIL) heatmaps to deliver a more interpretable and explainable prediction, diminishing the ‘black box’ challenges typically associated with understanding how AI predictions are made. “Our interpretable heatmaps are critical to driving utilization and adoption of AI – because it’s not about blind trust,” said Eric Walk, Chief Medical Officer at PathAI. “The results can be interpreted, explained – and confirmed – by humans. It also streamlines workflow as it allows pathologists to hone in on specific features to confirm the algorithm score and output vs. needing to analyze the entire slide.” AIM-HER2 Breast Cancer was developed using 157,000 tissue annotations and consensus scores on a dataset of over 4,000 slides (collected from more than 65 expert breast pathologists). In addition to slide-level HER2 scoring, AIM-HER2 Breast Cancer quantifies invasive carcinoma and provides a comprehensive analysis of the entire WSI without necessitating manual selection of the region of interest (ROI). To learn more about AIM-HER2 Breast Cancer, register for our webinar on Thursday, July 27, at 11:00am Eastern Time or visit www.PathAI.com Footnotes [i] Both AISight™ and the AIM-HER2 Breast Cancer Algorithm are intended for research-use only.

Avvir Announces Key Product Enhancements to Minimize Discrepancies in Construction, Protecting Budgets and Timelines

Avvir

Avvir, an automated risk analysis company for the construction industry, today announced a number of enhancements across its product offerings that will further improve customer efficiency, accuracy, and advance Avvir’s mission of automating workflow for contractors. Alongside the announcement of these product updates, Avvir has also released a new case study with Ryan Companies, the national builder, developer, designer, and real estate manager based in Minneapolis. The case study highlights a partnership between Avvir and Ryan in which the developer leveraged new reality capture hardware and data to create a comprehensive digital view of the job site and improve visibility into the construction process as it’s happening. A major pain point in the construction industry that Avvir aims to solve is discrepancies between plans and the physical build that can wreak havoc on project budgets and timelines. In order to help to combat this issue, Avvir is releasing a new grouping deviations feature, making it easier for users to take action on critical deviations and manage and organize deviated elements within the platform efficiently. Additionally, the platform will now include 5D cost tracking capabilities, enabling users to track the cost associated with installation progress for both modeled and non-modeled items in a unified manner, ensuring that no aspect of the project is overlooked. Other platform updates being launched in order to improve the user experience overall include new keyboard shortcuts, an enhanced capture tool that includes element names and refined deviation information, and a map update that lets users seamlessly navigate through their BIM in 2D. “We are continuously striving to improve the Avvir platform to be the most advanced and valuable addition to our customer's toolbelt,” said Matt Curry, Head of Product at Avvir. “These new developments will improve the user experience by making it easier to take action and address job site issues, get more unique insights from their data, and ultimately save time and resources.” Avvir and Ryan have released a case study that details the findings surrounding their work together on building the Jewel & Jim Plumb Heart Center, a 72,000-square- foot building on the Mercy Cedar Rapids (Iowa) Hospital campus. Ryan’s goal in engaging in this partnership was to leverage a platform that would allow them to make the data that the company previously had on hand actionable while simultaneously gaining new data insights to run a more efficient and transparent project. Using Avvir, Ryan was able to disseminate the inherent risks to its team, increasing awareness and keeping all vendors on the same page. This allowed the team to manage challenges better and spend more time focused on finding solutions rather than uncovering problems. Avvir assisted the Ryan team in quick onboarding to easily utilize reality capture and laser scanning, helping all team members understand how to leverage the data insights it provides. The case study ultimately showcases the success of the partnership, which resulted in a state-of-the-art new build in just under three years that was delivered on time with the help of BIM technology. “Having a partner who can help you get the most out of your team is invaluable. Using tools like Avvir means less time is needed to find problems with the resources that you do have, so senior resources can be effective in solving the issues and being proactive in the management of the project,” said Lucas Manos, Senior Innovation Manager at Ryan. “Avvir and its team did a great job creating reports and pulling out the essential data for us, and utilizing the platform improved our communication and efficiency tenfold.” Looking ahead, Avvir is focused on developing a new Custom Deviation Reports feature that will revolutionize how users analyze and report critical installation deviations, empowering them to take control of their projects and close the loop on installation errors before they lead to schedule delays. The team looks forward to releasing this new feature as well as others aimed at continuously improving how construction teams operate in the modern built world. To download the case study, please click here, and for more information on Avvir, please visit Avvir.io. About Avvir Avvir's automated risk analysis platform gives construction teams control with automated schedule tracking, cost and earned value analysis, installation issue detection, and an updated BIM with as-built conditions. Avvir delivers the only hardware agnostic platform that not only provides critical insights but closes the loop by updating the BIM, allowing customers to focus on solving issues, not finding them.

Cybersecurity for Connected Vehicles Is the Next Big Thing

MarketJar

The next major cyber attack may not be directed at your computer or even your bank card. It might be on your car. For over a decade, cybersecurity experts have warned about vulnerabilities in connected cars, which connect to an app, the internet, or an electric charging station. Owners of these automobiles risk having their personal data stolen, having their car hijacked while driving, or even having the power grid into which the vehicle is plugged shut off. EVs have gotten the most attention since they contain more digital components than their gasoline-powered equivalents. However, many modern automobiles have cybersecurity flaws, according to Stephen Meagher, Deloitte's director of new product offerings. Some of the cybersecurity threats involved with autos and charging stations are the same as those associated with ATMs or your personal computer. Someone hacking an EV charging station, for example, could steal your personal information, including payment information, location, or demographic information. Some concerns, though, are particular to vehicles and much more concerning. Hackers, for example, could get access to and control of the car. A 2021 speculative analysis demonstrated how a cyberattacker may short circuit an engine or even pull a car off the road. In 2023, a French hacker team used bluetooth to take control of a Tesla in under two minutes as part of a hacking competition. Then there are the more general concerns, such as gaining access to or shutting down a charging station network or even the central power system. Jim Alfred, general manager of applied cryptography group BlackBerry Certicom, agrees that automakers are aware of the risks and are taking precautions. Alfred and his team at BlackBerry Certicom develop computer protocols that enable safeguard communication channels in connected automobiles, similar to the ones you might find in your internet browser that notify you if a website is secure. Securing vehicles remains a difficult task. There are numerous companies participating in creating, producing, and ultimately deploying connected vehicles and EVs, ranging from equipment and software makers to telecommunications corporations, power companies, and local or national governments. According to Damu Prabhu, a partner in the cyber risk practice at Deloitte, a big part of the solution is to coordinate the cybersecurity effort. Essentially, vehicle cybersecurity is an arms race in which the winner will be determined by who has the most to lose and who is prepared to invest. A Leader in Advanced Continuous Authentication Technology Plurilock Security Inc. (TSXV:PLUR) (OTC:PLCKF) has created cybersecurity solutions that are used by over 600 customers, including NASA, the US Department of Defense, US Special Operations Command, the US Army, Navy, Marines, and Airforce, and has unique AI capabilities capable of identifying malicious behavior in seconds. Plurilock uses behavioral analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to provide cutting-edge least privilege cybersecurity solutions to its clients. The company's AI system can identify and detect dangerous behaviors in seconds by monitoring individual behavior patterns, providing real-time security against cyber attacks. Plurilock AI is available in three configurations from the manufacturer. Plurilock AI Cloud provides a comprehensive suite of tools to enable least privilege access management across a company's cloud universe, as well as cloud-based data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities; Plurilock AI Cloud DLP combines the AI Cloud with an endpoint agent to ensure least privilege strategies are maintained to protect sensitive data across employee workstations; and Plurilock AI Complete, which connects these capabilities to machine learning (ML) and behavioral biomimetic technologies. Plurilock Security has continued to sign new contracts and renew existing ones, resulting in a year-over-year rise in Q1 revenue of 125%, from C$7 million to $15.8 million. Plurilock 's core AI-driven technology solution received 16 sale orders and contract renewals in Q1, including cross-sell buy orders from two US financial institutions.

ToolsGroup

ToolsGroup, a global leader in retail and supply chain planning and optimization software, today announced the launch of Dynamic Fulfillment, a new addition to the JustEnough® retail planning and execution suite. This capability enhances a retailer’s OMS with optimized fulfillment plan throughout omnichannel and ship-from-store networks, reducing costs, improving profits, and ensuring more satisfied customers. “The Dynamic Fulfillment solution from ToolsGroup helps us use data to make smarter, faster decisions to create an even better experience for our customers,” said Paul Kisicki, VP of IT at Zumiez. “The fulfillment optimization logic helps us generate operational efficiencies like reducing split rates and shipping costs while better serving the needs of our customers.” Unlike traditional, rule-based approaches, Dynamic Fulfillment evaluates every fulfillment option and simultaneously optimizes based on costs, margins, resources, and customer SLAs. Dynamic Fulfillment leverages real-time inventory, demand, and operational signals captured by ToolsGroup’s unique dynamic data unification platform, which provides a digital supply chain twin for optimal sourcing decisions.
