19.3.2020 15:03:10 CET | Business Wire | Press release
As hospitals start to prepare for a surge in confirmed cases of COVID-19, a more pronounced focus will be placed on the appropriate utilization of healthcare resources. Without planning and organization, this surge can lead to delays in care and wasted resources, both of which hurt patients. In conjunction with public health experts, Surgisphere has developed a COVID-19 triage tool that helps prioritize care for patients who are in urgent need of care (https://surgisphere.com/covid-19-triage-tool/ ).

Surgisphere leveraged its real time global research network to develop this triage tool. Using its #1 ranked machine learning capabilities, Surgisphere identified the clinical signs and symptoms most predictive of poor outcomes. Using patient age, chronic medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, vital signs, and routine physical exam maneuvers, healthcare professionals on the front line can triage a COVID-19 patient in under a minute.
“This smartphone app will help thousands of vulnerable patients. We have already seen healthcare systems around the world struggling to cope with the extensive number of sick patients. Better triaging them to provide vital healthcare to those who need it the most is a top priority. Our data driven approach combined with advanced machine learning has created a solution that can positively impact healthcare delivery,” said Sapan Desai, MD, PhD, MBA, FACS. Dr. Desai is a vascular surgeon and President and Chief Executive Officer of the Surgisphere Corporation.
This triage tool has been prospectively validated and has a 95.5% overall accuracy. 100% of patients who require immediate attention are correctly triaged. This smartphone app can be accessed at https://www.Surgisphere.com . Surgisphere has also created a COVID-19 mortality risk calculator and diagnosis decision support tool, all freely and immediately available to healthcare professionals around the world.
Surgisphere is currently leveraging its coordinated efforts with global health agencies and its own global network of over 1,200 healthcare organizations to facilitate rapid, world-wide deployment of this life-saving tool. The methodology and results associated with this triage tool have been submitted for peer review and publication in a scientific journal.
Surgisphere is a physician-led company dedicated to making the world a better place, a mission that has motivated its growth and progress since its inception in 2008. An ISO 27001:2013 certified corporation in Chicago, Surgisphere has developed leading solutions in healthcare delivery for patients with kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, lymphedema, and other major diseases.

TestMu AI Introduces the Source-to-Verdict Loop in Kane CLI, Carrying Every Requirement to a Ship Decision With Portable Proof23.7.2026 15:45:00 CEST | Press release
Kane CLI now takes a requirement all the way to a ship-or-hold verdict, designing the tests, running them in a real browser, and emitting an open .evidence proof pack that teammates, AI agents, and auditors can all verify, with no server or dashboard required TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest), the world's first Agentic AI-powered Quality Engineering platform, introduced a source-to-verdict loop in Kane CLI, its natural-language testing tool. Building on Kane CLI's evolution from a browser automation tool, the loop carries a product requirement to a ship decision, writing the tests, running them in the local browser, collecting the proof, measuring coverage from what actually happened, and returning a verdict. As AI agents write, run, and fix tests, a green checkmark is no longer enough: a step that checks nothing passes, a test written against a spec that changed weeks ago passes, and an agent that says “done” without the click ever landing passes. Empty green and earned green are the sa

Trulioo Launches AI Agent to Resolve Beneficial Ownership Where Global Registries Fall Short23.7.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
Breakthrough AI agent reconstructs ownership for long-tail businesses and hard-to-reach jurisdictions while significantly increasing UBO coverage Trulioo, a global risk intelligence platform, today announced the UBO Discovery Agent, the newest layer in Trulioo's UBO Discovery capability inside its business risk and Know Your Business (KYB) verification workflow. AI is reshaping fraud, making it easier for bad actors to hide, and harder for companies to catch them. This makes the already tough job of verifying who actually owns a business even more difficult. Determining a business's ultimate beneficial owner is an ongoing, acute challenge for companies: registry coverage is inconsistent across countries, and even where registries exist, they typically record shareholders and directors of record (rather than the people actually in control). That data isn't simply outdated, it reflects a structural lag: ownership changes and time passes before the filing is made and processed, so a looku
