FREMONT, Calif., March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Alamar Biosciences, a company powering precision proteomics to enable the earliest detection of disease, announced today the commercial launch of the NULISAseq CNS Disease Panel 120 for highly multiplexed protein analysis of all the critical pathways implicated in major neurological disorders, and the NULISAqpcr pTau-217 Assay (ALZpath antibody) for focused studies of this important biomarker in dementia research. Both assays benefit from the unparalleled sensitivity of the NULISA™ chemistry and are run on the fully automated ARGO™ HT System that streamlines the time to complete large cohort studies. The launch of these two products represents another important milestone in the company's goal to deliver high-sensitivity protein analysis from biofluids to enable earlier diagnosis of disease and better prediction of therapeutic outcomes. The products are expected to ship in Q2 2024. 

Key Points: 
  • Data demonstrating the superior performance over existing assays highlighted at the Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease (AD/PD™ 2024) international conference in Lisbon, Portugal.
  • Both assays benefit from the unparalleled sensitivity of the NULISA™ chemistry and are run on the fully automated ARGO™ HT System that streamlines the time to complete large cohort studies.
  • The Alamar products represent a significant advancement in Alzheimer's Disease research, says Dr. Henrik Zetterberg.
  • This research depends on the availability of biomarkers to detect disease earlier and distinguish between highly related dementia disorders.

TORONTO, Feb. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The development and deployment of disease-modifying interventions for Parkinson's disease (PD) have been limited due to a lack of objective, accurate and reliable measures of progression. As such, the adoption of digital technologies has increased in recent years with the intent to overcome the poor sensitivity of conventional rating scales currently used as the gold standard in clinical trials. However, natural history studies incorporating digital motor endpoints in PD are sparse. Excitingly, data recently published from key longitudinal studies reveal cutting-edge evidence demonstrating that digital endpoints of motor progression are more sensitive than conventional clinical scales.

Key Points: 
  • The featured speakers will discuss how (by capturing a composite score of digital measures of bradykinesia with wearable sensors) a better signal of disease progression can be obtained compared to independent measurements.
  • Attendees will gain insights into the future directions of wearable sensors and digital motor endpoints in clinical trials to monitor the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.

Detroit, Michigan, Feb. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Robotic Assistance Devices (RAD), a subsidiary of Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCPK:AITX), today announced a significant addition to its suite of AI analytics. This innovation equips RAD's robotic security solutions with the capability to detect the rampant threat of Hook & Chain ATM attacks plaguing the banking industry. A Hook and Chain attack involves attaching one end of a chain or cable to an ATM and using a vehicle to exert force on the machine, usually by pulling the chain with the vehicle, with the objective of forcefully open the ATM's safe doors, allowing thieves to access the cash inside. With this development, RAD continues to lead the charge in providing cutting-edge security solutions tailored to meet the evolving challenges faced by financial institutions and other enterprise clients.

Key Points: 
  • This innovation equips RAD's robotic security solutions with the capability to detect the rampant threat of Hook & Chain ATM attacks plaguing the banking industry.
  • Hook and chain attacks were the leading ATM crime, in which thieves steal the cash from an ATM machine and cause extensive property damage, sometimes with loss and damages approaching $500K per incident.
  • Mark Folmer, CPP, PSP, FSyI, President of RAD, added, “The Hook & Chain analytic was requested during discussions with a leading national bank with over 1000 branches.
  • We currently have highly satisfied banking clients who are eager to implement the ATM attack detection analytic.
