  • Clarity Tax Relief Publishes Analysis of the 2025 IRS Data Book Collection Figures

    Clarity Tax Relief analyzed the 2025 IRS Data Book, which shows increases in delinquent-return investigations, federal tax liens and levies, alongside changes in installment agreements and offer in compromise acceptances.

    Santa Ana, California, United States, 5th Nov 2026 – Clarity Tax Relief announced the publication of a new analysis of the 2025 IRS Data Book. The analysis examines changes in delinquent-return investigations, federal tax liens, levies, installment agreements and offers in compromise in fiscal year 2025 compared with fiscal year 2024. All figures come from Table 4-1 of the IRS Data Book, the agency’s annual statistical report.

    The largest change Clarity Tax Relief’s analysis found is in delinquent-return work. The IRS opened 2,501,667 new taxpayer delinquency investigations in fiscal year 2025, up from 639,143 in fiscal year 2024, an increase of nearly four times.

    “The investigation figure stood out the moment we compared the two years,” said Angeline Balsitis, an IRS Enrolled Agent at Clarity Tax Relief. “We published the full table so anyone can check the numbers against the IRS source.”

    Delinquent Return and Account Statistics, Fiscal Year 2025

    • Delinquency investigations: 2,501,667 opened, compared with 639,143 the year before.
    • Delinquent accounts: 13,112,485 taxpayer delinquent accounts in inventory at year end, with a combined balance of about $211.5 billion in assessed tax, penalties and interest.

    Federal Tax Lien and Levy Statistics, Fiscal Year 2025

    • Federal tax liens: 214,099 notices of federal tax lien filed, compared with 196,996, an increase of about 9 percent.
    • Levies: 339,137 notices of levy issued to third parties, compared with 313,792, an increase of about 8 percent.

    According to Clarity Tax Relief’s analysis, lien filings and levies both rose for the year while new installment agreements declined.

    IRS Installment Agreement Statistics, Fiscal Year 2025

    • New agreements: 3,160,047 installment agreements established, compared with 3,403,214 in fiscal year 2024.
    • Agreements in place: 4,870,810 at year end, up from 4,642,420.

    The full breakdown is published in Clarity Tax Relief’s IRS installment agreement statistics report.

    Offer in Compromise Acceptance Rate, Fiscal Year 2025

    • Offers received: 38,797, compared with 33,591.
    • Offers accepted: 5,464, compared with 7,199.

    Clarity Tax Relief’s analysis found the offer in compromise acceptance rate fell to about 14 percent in fiscal year 2025, from about 21 percent the year before. The firm’s offer in compromise acceptance rate page tracks the figure over time.

    “The offer in compromise figures show fewer acceptances on more submissions than the year before,” Balsitis said.

    Methodology

    The analysis compares the fiscal year 2025 and fiscal year 2024 columns of Table 4-1, Delinquent Collection Activities, in IRS Publication 55-B, the IRS Data Book. Percentages are calculated by Clarity Tax Relief from the published counts and are rounded. The IRS Data Book reports program activity in aggregate. The figures describe how often the IRS took each action during the fiscal year and do not indicate the outcome of any individual case.

    Clarity Tax Relief plans to update the analysis when the IRS publishes its fiscal year 2026 Data Book.

  • Peter Grimyser Highlights the Challenges of Campus Safety Beyond University Boundaries

    Former UW–Madison Detective/Sergeant examines why cooperation between university police, local authorities, and campus leadership matters for public safety.

    Milwaukee, Wisconsin, November 4th, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, University campuses are closely connected to the cities and communities surrounding them, creating public safety challenges that do not always fit within a single police department’s jurisdiction. Peter Grimyser, a retired Detective/Sergeant with 27 years of experience at the University of Wisconsin–Madison Police Department, is highlighting the importance of cooperation between campus police, local law enforcement and university leadership.

    Unlike many traditional policing environments, university campuses bring together students, employees, visitors and neighbouring residents. Public safety incidents can involve several locations and organisations, making clear communication and coordinated responses essential.

    “Campus safety involves much more than responding to incidents on university property,” Grimyser said. “You have to understand how the university and surrounding community are connected, especially when an incident involves multiple agencies.”

    Why University Police Must Work Beyond Campus Boundaries

    Many university campuses are integrated into surrounding cities, with public roads, businesses and residential neighbourhoods located close to academic buildings. Students often live off campus, while major events can bring thousands of visitors into nearby communities.

    These conditions create situations where university police and municipal law enforcement may need to work together. An incident beginning in one jurisdiction can quickly affect another, particularly when public safety concerns involve several individuals or locations.

    During his career at UW–Madison, Grimyser gained experience coordinating investigations, managing critical incidents, and working with different stakeholders. His responsibilities required understanding how separate organisations could contribute to a wider public safety response.

    “Knowing who needs to be involved is an important part of responding effectively,” Grimyser explained. “When agencies understand each other’s responsibilities and communicate clearly, they are better prepared to deal with complicated situations.”

    Accurate Information Remains a Major Challenge

    One of the difficulties facing university law enforcement is managing information during an evolving incident. Initial reports may contain conflicting accounts, and investigators often need time to establish what has happened before reaching conclusions.

    At the same time, universities must consider how to communicate with students, employees and the public. Information can spread rapidly through social media, sometimes before police have confirmed the details.

    Grimyser believes careful assessment and timely communication are important parts of managing these situations. His investigative background included gathering information, assessing risks and helping organisational leaders navigate sensitive matters.

    “The first information you receive is not always the complete picture,” Grimyser said. “You need to establish what is known, identify what still needs to be checked and make sure the information being shared is accurate.”

    Building Stronger Relationships Before an Emergency

    Cooperation between agencies is not limited to emergency situations. Established working relationships can help university officials, police departments and other public safety organisations understand their roles before an incident occurs.

    Grimyser’s experience reflects the value of preparation, particularly in environments where several organisations may need to respond to the same situation.

    After earning his Bachelor’s degree in Administration of Justice from Marian University in 1998, Grimyser built a career spanning nearly three decades in Wisconsin law enforcement. He also worked part-time with the Cottage Grove Police Department before retiring from UW–Madison Police as a Detective/Sergeant.

    Now semi-retired, he continues to maintain an interest in public safety and community service, including volunteer work with the American Red Cross.

    As universities review their safety procedures and emergency response plans, Grimyser’s professional experience offers a perspective on the importance of coordination, accurate information and clearly defined responsibilities.

    “Public safety is a shared responsibility, and no organisation has every resource or answer on its own,” Grimyser said. “Being prepared to work together is one of the most valuable things agencies can do.”

  • GlobalGPT Launches Yukie for Business 1.0 an AI Agent That Monitors Data and Builds Tools

    GlobalGPT has launched Yukie for Business 1.0, an AI agent for business that connects to company data, monitors what changes, and turns everyday work into finished results, from follow-up dashboards to websites, forms, and customer service chatbots.

    United States, 5th Nov 2026 — GlobalGPT today announced Yukie for Business 1.0, an AI agent for business that lets small business owners, independent operators, and professional teams connect their business data, keep watch on what matters, and carry everyday work through to finished results.

    GlobalGPT Launches Yukie for Business 1.0, an AI Agent That Monitors Data and Builds Tools

    For small teams, much of the work happens between tools: finding information, understanding what changed, deciding what to do next, and following up. Unlike AI assistants that wait for the next question, Yukie for Business starts from the business itself. Connected data shows it what has changed, and emails, meeting notes, and team messages show it what still needs to be done. Because the work runs in the cloud, owners can check results and send the next instruction from their phone.

    That keeps work moving after the first answer. A shift in website traffic can become a short list of pages to fix and a content plan. A reply from a prospect can land on a follow-up dashboard, with its background ready for whichever colleague picks it up. A question the website chatbot cannot answer can reach the right person with a reply already drafted.

    Yukie for Business also builds what the work calls for. Users describe a need in conversation, and Yukie creates and publishes it as a website, an interactive form, or a customer service chatbot that can be embedded in an existing site. A customer research idea can become a working survey, and a recurring operational need can become a tool the team uses regularly. The same business context carries into creative work, so a brand can reuse its product details, characters, and visual style to plan, generate, and edit its next marketing video.

    “Many of our users are also founders, shop owners, salespeople, operators, and creators. They carry real business responsibility, often without a full team of specialists,” said Huanzhi Li, Founder & CEO of GlobalGPT. “We built Yukie for Business to stay with that work for them, from the first update of the day to the follow-up that would otherwise slip.”

    With this launch, GlobalGPT extends Yukie from a personal AI assistant into business operations and team collaboration. Yukie for Business is available now at glbgpt.com.

    About GlobalGPT

    GlobalGPT is an all-in-one AI platform for individuals and businesses. It brings multiple AI models, content creation, and task workflows together in one place, and has more than 4 million cumulative users worldwide. Its AI agent, Yukie, now includes Yukie for Business, an AI agent for business that lets small business owners, independent operators, and professional teams connect their business data, keep watch on what matters, and carry everyday work through to finished results.

  • Wellows Launches Free AI Brand Visibility Report Tool

    Wellows has launched the AI Brand Visibility Report, a free tool that asks an AI engine six buyer questions about a brand, six times each, and reports the story the engine tells, with counts. The report takes about five minutes and is emailed as a link.

    Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 5th Nov 2026 – Wellows has launched the AI Brand Visibility Report, a free tool that shows what an AI engine says about a brand when buyers ask about it. The report takes about five minutes and needs no card, and the link to it is emailed when it is ready.

    Wellows Launches Free AI Brand Visibility Report Tool

    Wellows says AI engines build their answers about a brand largely from third-party pages such as reviews, comparisons, forums, and directories, and it calls the result a brand’s shadow reputation. Buyers ask engines about a company, and the company usually cannot see the answers.

    A user enters a website domain, an email address, one of five AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode, or Google AI Overviews), and a country. Up to five domains can be entered at once, and each gets its own report. The tool needs no access to the site or its analytics and no installation. An optional name can be added to show who prepared the report when it is run for a client.

    The tool asks the chosen engine six buyer questions, each six times, for 36 answers per report: what the brand is, what people say about it, its pros and cons, who it is for, the best alternatives to it, and whether to use it. Each answer is coded, and the counts are computed from the coded answers.

    The report writes out the narrative the engine tells and lists the qualities it assigns to the brand, the rivals it suggests, and the objections and gaps it raises, each with counts or share of answers. It compares the brand’s own site with the answers, including how many citations land on the brand’s domain, and ends with a prioritized list of changes.

    “Buyers ask AI about a company before they ever talk to it, and most companies never see those answers,” said Masab Gadit, Founder and CEO of Wellows. “Asking each question six times shows what the engine says consistently, so the report gives counts instead of a single reply.”

    Each report covers one engine and one country. Because answers change, Wellows advises reading the numbers as a sample and running the report again. Report pages are not indexed by search engines, but anyone with the link can open the full report.    

    Wellows is also hosting a free live webinar series, Are you in the AI answer?, on Thursdays from October 29 to November 26. The second session, Best X for Y, takes place on November 5 at 11:00 AM ET (8:00 PM Gulf Standard Time) and will cover the AI Brand Visibility Report as part of looking at who AI recommends and why. Registration is free and required for each session, with a replay within 24 hours.

    The AI Brand Visibility Report is free to use and available now on the Wellows AI Brand Visibility Report page.

  • Hana Hou AC Heat Plumbing Electrical Provides 24-7 Emergency Plumbing Response Across Orange County

    Company prioritizes urgent plumbing problems, including burst pipes, active leaks, and sewer backups, with a damage-first response approach and upfront repair pricing.

    United States, 5th Nov 2026 — Plumbing emergencies can develop quickly, leaving homeowners facing uncontrolled water, damaged pipes, sewage backups, and other problems that threaten their property and daily routines. Hana Hou AC Heat Plumbing Electrical is highlighting its 24-7 emergency plumbing response across Orange County, providing homeowners with access to professional assistance for urgent plumbing situations that cannot wait for a scheduled appointment.

    Unlike routine plumbing maintenance, emergency situations require immediate attention to prevent further damage and address potential safety concerns. Hana Hou Home focuses its emergency response on problems such as burst supply lines, active water leaks, sewage entering living spaces, water heaters leaking from their tanks, and complete water service interruptions throughout a home.

    Prioritizing Plumbing Emergencies Around Immediate Risks

    Not every plumbing problem requires an emergency service call. Hana Hou Home evaluates incoming requests based on the nature of the problem, its location, the potential hazard, and current service availability. This approach helps the company distinguish between urgent situations requiring immediate attention and less critical issues that can be addressed through a scheduled appointment.

    A burst pipe that cannot be shut off, sewage backing up into a bathtub or floor drain, or an actively leaking water heater tank can create significant property concerns. These situations may require urgent professional intervention to control the immediate problem and identify the underlying cause.

    By contrast, a slow drain or minor dripping faucet may be suitable for a routine service appointment when the issue is contained and does not present an immediate risk.

    Stop the Damage First, Then Fix the Problem

    Hana Hou Home follows a damage-first approach when responding to emergency plumbing calls. After understanding the reported situation, the company dispatches assistance according to the urgency of the problem and available resources.

    Once on-site, the priority is to stop the immediate problem. This may involve shutting off the water or gas supply as necessary, followed by an assessment to determine what caused the plumbing failure.

    Rather than relying on temporary fixes, the company focuses on diagnosing the actual issue and identifying an appropriate repair. Customers receive a written repair price after the immediate condition has been assessed and before work on the repair begins.

    This process gives homeowners a clearer understanding of the problem, the proposed solution, and the expected repair cost before authorizing the work.

    Addressing Burst Pipes, Sewer Backups, and Water Heater Failures

    Burst pipes are among the plumbing emergencies that can cause substantial water damage when left uncontrolled. Hana Hou Home’s burst pipe repair service focuses on stopping the water flow and completing the necessary pipe repair rather than relying on temporary patches that may fail again.

    Sewer backups present a different type of emergency. When wastewater enters a bathtub, shower, or floor drain, the problem may indicate a blockage in the main sewer line. Hana Hou Home provides sewer backup response and directs customers to its sewer services for further information about diagnosing drainage problems, including camera inspections.

    Water heater failures can also disrupt essential household activities. An actively leaking water heater tank requires prompt attention, while a complete loss of hot water may need professional assessment to determine whether emergency service is necessary.

    A 30-Day Encore Promise for Added Confidence

    Hana Hou Home also highlights its 30-Day Encore Promise as part of its service commitment. If the same issue returns within 30 days, the company comes back at no charge.

    In addition to emergency plumbing, the company offers its Hana Hou ‘Ohana Membership for $14.99 per month. Membership benefits include priority scheduling, an annual HVAC tune-up, plumbing and electrical safety checks, and 10% off services.

    These additional offerings give homeowners options for ongoing home system maintenance beyond an individual emergency repair.

    Serving Orange County and Surrounding Communities

    Hana Hou AC Heat Plumbing Electrical serves customers across Orange County, with additional service coverage in Murrieta and Temecula. Homeowners experiencing a plumbing emergency can contact the company directly at (949) 996-9886 for Orange County service information.

    The company also encourages homeowners to locate their main water shutoff valve before an emergency occurs. Knowing how to stop the water supply can help limit damage when a pipe bursts or an uncontrolled leak develops.

  • Promax Pogo Pin to Exhibit at Electronica Munich 2026

    Gary, IN 46402, United States, 5th Nov 2026 – Promax Pogo Pin, a manufacturer of pogo pins, spring-loaded connectors and magnetic connectors, has announced that it will exhibit at electronica 2026, the electronics trade fair in Munich, Germany. The fair runs from November 10 to 13, 2026, at the Trade Fair Center Messe München, and the company will be in Hall A3, Booth 561/2.

    Promax Pogo Pin supplies components used across consumer electronics, aerospace and medical industries, where spring-loaded connector applications (link pending) range from battery charging and device docking to board testing. The company has published a dedicated event page that lists the products it will show and explains how visitors can book a meeting in advance.

    What the Company Will Show

    According to the company, the booth will present five product categories: pogo pins, pogo pin connectors, magnetic connectors, magnetic cable connectors and test probes. The company states that visitors will see live demonstrations under real working conditions, so that buyers can judge a part in use rather than from a datasheet alone.

    Pogo pins are spring-loaded contacts that create an electrical connection between two surfaces. Magnetic connectors use magnets to hold the mating parts in alignment, and test probes make contact with points on a circuit board during testing. The five categories reflect three approaches: connectors that rely on spring force, connectors that rely on magnetic attraction, and probes designed for testing. Each type involves different requirements, such as size, contact travel, current rating and the environment in which the part will operate.

    “Trade fairs allow engineers to see connectors up close and discuss an application with the people who make them,” said Gavin, Manager of Promax Pogo Pin. “The team is preparing demonstrations of its pogo pins and magnetic connectors for Hall A3, along with technical staff to go through the applications that visitors bring.”

    Event Details

    The company has published the following practical information for visitors. Because admission is limited to trade visitors, anyone planning to attend needs to register before travelling to Munich.

    Dates: November 10 to 13, 2026

    Venue: Trade Fair Center Messe München, Am Messesee 2, 81829 Munich, Germany

    Location: Hall A3, Booth 561/2

    Hours: Tuesday to Thursday, 9:00 to 18:00; Friday, 9:00 to 15:00

    Admission: Trade only, with advance online registration required and no tickets sold at the door
     

    Meetings with the Technical Team

    Promax Pogo Pin is accepting meeting requests ahead of the fair through a booking form on its event page. The form asks for a preferred date between November 10 and 13, a preferred time of morning, afternoon or flexible, and optional notes about the application. The company states that it confirms each slot by email before the show.

    According to the company, technical staff will be at the booth to walk through each visitor’s application, and booked meetings include a free technical assessment. Connector selection is often tied to a specific device, since the dimensions, spring force, plating and mounting method of a part are usually matched to the product it serves. Discussing those details in person can shorten the exchange of drawings and specifications that normally follows a first inquiry.

    The event page does not name the specific models that will be demonstrated, and it does not state whether samples will be handed out at the booth.
     

    Getting to the Venue

    The company’s event page also sets out travel advice for visitors to the Messe München grounds. The U2 subway line toward Messestadt Ost serves the venue and takes about 20 minutes from Munich Hauptbahnhof, the central railway station. Visitors travelling by car can leave the A94 motorway at the München-Riem exit. The page lists parking at 15 euros per day outdoors and 21 euros per day in the multi-storey car park, at 2026 rates, and it notes bicycle stands at the East and West entrances.
     

    Looking Ahead

    Preparation for the fair is under way, and the company plans to use the four days to speak with visitors about their requirements. Any follow-up work, such as sample requests or quotations, depends on the applications that visitors bring to the booth.

    “The aim for the show is to give visitors a clear picture of how their application would be handled, from the technical assessment through to the options for a custom part,” said Gavin, Manager of Promax Pogo Pin. “Follow-up conversations after the fair will depend on the requirements that each visitor describes.”
     

    About Promax Pogo Pin

    Promax Pogo Pin manufactures high-quality pogo pins, spring-loaded connectors and magnetic connectors for applications including consumer electronics, aerospace and medical industries. The company states that it has more than 15 years of experience, offers customizable solutions and competitive pricing, and works to internationally certified quality standards.

  • GoElite’s OCIC 2026 Drew Over 7,000 Registrations

    OPT Career and Immigration Conference (OCIC 2026), a free virtual event held on October 17, featured numerous speakers and sessions covering O-1 visa pathways, H-1B alternatives, and breaking into AI, finance, and consulting roles.

    United States, 5th Nov 2026 — GoElite, the global education platform that connects international students with top universities and hybrid programs, today announced that its OPT Career and Immigration Conference (OCIC 2026) drew over 7,000 registrations. The free virtual conference held on October 17, 2026, helped international students land U.S. jobs and stay in the U.S. after Optional Practical Training (OPT). 

    The event featured 17 speakers to help with the U.S. job search process. These included immigration attorneys, a former U.S. visa officer, recruiters, and professionals with experience at companies like Amazon, Google, and Meta. Sessions covered O-1 visa pathways, H-1B alternatives, and breaking into AI, finance, and consulting roles. 

    The conference also offered a live resume teardown and sessions on personal branding and LinkedIn strategies, as well as live 90-day job search coaching, and a no-code guide to building an AI job search agent. Attendees learned what employers want in 2026. They were able to explore what is involved in breaking into finance, consulting, AI engineering, AI product roles, and agentic AI program management

    “Many F-1 students face a tight timeline after graduation,” explained GoElite’s Ryan Zhang, who hosted the webinar. “They have to find a job, keep their work authorization, and plan a long-term immigration path, often while relying on the uncertain H-1B lottery. This is quite challenging. Our answer is to bring career and immigration experts together in one free, accessible event. We gave international students clear, practical information they can act on now.”

    GoElite structured the event’s content around two goals: helping international students get hired and stay in the U.S. This is why the conference focused on career opportunities and practical training pathways such as OPT and STEM OPT. In so doing, the organization strengthened its role as a trusted resource for international talent moving from school into the U.S. workforce. 

    To stay informed, international students can register for GoElite’s upcoming free webinars at https://goelite.com/events and watch Day 1 CPT updates at https://www.youtube.com/@day1cpt

  • Peer-Reviewed Scientific Journal Publishes U.S. Clinical Study Reporting Interim Results of 87.7% Accuracy for IR-MED’s PressureSafe™ Technology in Pressure-Injury Assessment

    ROSH PINNA, Israel, November 4th, 2026, FinanceWire

    Peer-reviewed study published in the HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine reports Phase 2 interim results of 90.0% sensitivity, 87.3% specificity and an AUC-ROC of 0.959 using a post hoc balanced classification threshold in assessing pressure injuries

    Prospective pressure-injury study conducted at Methodist Hospital Metropolitan and Methodist Hospital Stone Oak included 1,314 device scans across 219 anatomical sites, with approximately 54% of participants representing dark skin types

    No device-related adverse events were identified during the pressure-injury study

    Study demonstrated the investigational device’s usability and compatibility with routine pressure-injury assessment workflows in acute-care settings

    IR-MED Ltd. (OTC: IRME) (the “Company” or “IR-MED”), a developer of infrared spectroscopy-based medical device technology, today announced the publication of peer-reviewed interim clinical results evaluating the Company’s Infra-Red Spectroscopy Scanner, or IRSS, the investigational device underlying its PressureSafe™ platform, for the assessment of pressure injuries in patients across a range of skin tones.

    The original research article, titled “The Use of Infra-Red Spectroscopy to Assess Intact Skin of Various Skin Tones,” was published in the HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine, Volume 7, Issue 5. The study evaluated the safety and performance of IR-MED’s non-invasive, machine-learning-enabled IRSS investigational device in distinguishing clinically healthy intact tissue from tissue classified by Certified Wound Ostomy Continence Nurses as a Stage 1 pressure injury or deep tissue injury.

    PressureSafe™ is IR-MED’s proprietary platform based on the IRSS technology evaluated in the study.

    • The interim Phase 2 analysis, which included nine participants and 65 anatomical sites, reported the following performance metrics using a post hoc balanced classification threshold:87.7% overall accuracy
    • 90.0% sensitivity
    • 87.3% specificity
    • AUC-ROC of 0.959
    • No device-related adverse events

    The prospective, two-phase pilot device study was conducted at Methodist Hospital Metropolitan and Methodist Hospital Stone Oak, two acute-care hospitals in San Antonio, Texas. Across both phases, 26 participants contributed 219 anatomical-site observations and 1,314 individual device scans. Approximately 54% of participants were classified as Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI (dark skin tone). The interim Phase 2 analysis included nine participants, 65 anatomical sites and 390 individual device scans, including ten sites clinically classified as pressure injuries.

    Addressing a Critical Clinical Challenge

    Pressure injuries can begin beneath visually intact skin, making early tissue changes difficult to identify through conventional visual and tactile assessment alone. This challenge may be particularly significant in patients with darker skin tones, where melanin pigmentation can obscure visual indicators such as non-blanchable erythema and contribute to delayed or missed identification.

    The investigational IRSS device underlying the PressureSafe™ platform uses diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy across visible and near-infrared wavelengths, together with a proprietary machine-learning classifier, to assess optical signals associated with tissue biomarkers and structural characteristics that may be associated with pressure injuries.

    The handheld, battery-operated investigational device performs an individual scan in approximately 400 milliseconds and provides a real-time assessment intended to support clinical decision-making. The study also demonstrated the device’s usability and compatibility with routine clinical workflows in acute-care settings.

    The technology underlying PressureSafe™ is designed to provide objective information that augments, rather than replaces, standard visual and tactile skin assessment by qualified healthcare professionals.

    Study Design and Results

    The study was conducted under protocol IRM-02-1123 and included two phases. Phase 1 supported IRSS device calibration and validation, clinical personnel training, safety evaluation and refinement of the machine-learning algorithm.

    Phase 2, which remains ongoing, is evaluating the safety and diagnostic performance of the investigational device underlying PressureSafe™ against assessments performed by experienced Certified Wound Ostomy Continence Nurses.

    During Phase 1, the IRSS demonstrated 81.2% accuracy, 90.5% sensitivity, 79.7% specificity and an AUC-ROC of 0.922.

    Phase 1 data were subsequently used to refine the machine-learning model evaluated during Phase 2.

    In the Phase 2 interim analysis, the balanced model demonstrated 87.7% accuracy, 90.0% sensitivity and 87.3% specificity. These results represented a 6.5 percentage-point improvement in accuracy and a 7.6 percentage-point improvement in specificity compared with Phase 1.

    The AUC-ROC increased to 0.959, indicating strong discrimination between anatomical sites clinically classified as healthy tissue and those classified as pressure-injured tissue.

    No device-related safety events were identified during either study phase, including participant discomfort, adverse tissue reactions, interference with patient-monitoring equipment or infection-transmission concerns.

    “These peer-reviewed results represent an important clinical milestone for IR-MED and provide independent validation of the potential of the infrared spectroscopy and machine-learning technology underlying our PressureSafe™ platform,” said Dr. Yaniv Cohen, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of IR-MED.

    “I would like to congratulate and thank Dr. Mary Lee Potter, the clinical research teams at Methodist Hospital Metropolitan and Methodist Hospital Stone Oak, our co-authors, and everyone who contributed to the successful completion and publication of this important research. Their dedication and clinical expertise were instrumental in advancing this study.”

    “The improvement observed in Phase 2 highlights the potential of our technology to learn from high-quality clinical data and enhance its diagnostic performance. Most importantly, the study supports our mission to provide healthcare professionals with an objective, rapid and non-invasive tool that may strengthen pressure-injury assessment across diverse patient populations and help address a persistent healthcare equity challenge.”

    Dr. Mary Lee Potter, PhD, MBA, RN, CWOCN, the study’s principal investigator and lead author, commented:

    “Early-stage pressure injuries and deep tissue injuries can be difficult to identify, particularly when tissue damage develops beneath intact skin or when visual signs are less apparent. The interim findings demonstrate promising agreement between the investigational infrared spectroscopy scanner underlying PressureSafe™ and assessments performed by experienced wound-care clinicians.”

    “The study also supports the feasibility of using the device across a range of skin phototypes and its compatibility with routine acute-care clinical workflows. Continued enrollment will allow us to further evaluate performance across skin-tone groups and anatomical locations.”

    Next Steps

    Phase 2 enrollment and data collection remain ongoing, with completion currently expected by March 2027. Continued enrollment is intended to expand the clinical dataset, improve the precision of performance estimates and further evaluate the performance of the IRSS technology underlying PressureSafe™ across different skin-tone groups and anatomical sites.

    The published study concluded that the interim results demonstrated promising anatomical-site agreement between the IRSS and the clinical classification of healthy versus pressure-injured intact tissue, with no device-related adverse events identified.
