SimonMed Launches World’s First Enterprise-Scale Integrated AI Lung Nodule Risk Assessment Workflow
Multiple FDA-cleared AI technologies are integrated into a single clinical workflow for lung nodule detection, characterization and malignancy-risk prediction—without disrupting how radiologists work.
SCOTTSDALE, AZ – Aug 25– SimonMed, one of the largest outpatient medical imaging providers and radiology practices in the United States, announced a partnership with Optellum, an AI-powered lung cancer diagnostics company, to integrate advanced lung nodule risk-stratification AI directly into its existing AI-enabled clinical workflow. This integration is designed to give referring providers an objective, validated assessment of malignancy risk for eligible incidentally detected pulmonary nodules, supporting earlier and more appropriate patient care.
Under this new partnership, eligible lung nodules identified during standard chest CT scans will flow into Optellum’s Lung Cancer Prediction (LCP) AI for evaluation. Optellum’s software is the first AI-based decision-support tool cleared by the FDA for malignancy risk prediction of eligible incidentally detected pulmonary nodules. The software analyzes various nodule characteristics and generates a validated AI-derived Lung Cancer Prediction (LCP) score to assist in informing clinical decision-making.
“For the first time, eligible pulmonary nodules can move seamlessly from detection to malignancy risk assessment without requiring a separate workflow, additional clicks, or manual case selection,” said Dr. Sean Raj, Chief Medical Officer and Chief Innovation Officer at SimonMed. “We believe this represents the world’s first enterprise-wide deployment of an integrated AI-powered pathway for lung nodule detection, characterization, and malignancy risk prediction. It’s a major step toward ensuring every patient with a potentially dangerous lung nodule receives a consistent, objective assessment, while keeping the radiologist firmly at the center of clinical decision-making.”
Millions of lung nodules are found incidentally on CT scans each year, but timely and appropriate follow-up remains a challenge. Traditional risk models can leave clinicians uncertain, leading to delayed diagnoses of malignant nodules or unnecessary procedures for benign ones. By evaluating every eligible pulmonary nodule within the radiologist’s existing workflow, SimonMed helps ensure consistent, AI-powered risk assessment across the enterprise while reducing variability and the chance that high-risk nodules are overlooked.
The integration of Optellum LCP AI builds on SimonMed’s existing AI-enhanced lung nodule program, powered by Infervision, which already provides automated volumetric sizing and interval-growth tracking. By adding Optellum’s risk prediction technology, SimonMed gives referring providers clearer guidance while continuing to advance a more targeted, imaging-based assessment of pulmonary nodules.
“We are thrilled to partner with SimonMed to bring our LCP AI to their extensive network of clinics,” said Dr. Johnathan Watkins, CEO of Optellum. “SimonMed’s commitment to making cutting-edge diagnostic technology accessible aligns with our mission to ensure no lung nodule is left behind. By risk-stratifying patients at the point of diagnosis, we can help their subspecialty radiologists and referring clinicians prioritize the right patients for life-saving interventions. And with Optellum’s LCP AI uniquely named in Medicare payment policy and reimbursed by commercial payers, partnerships like this can scale sustainably, bringing earlier diagnosis to more patients.”
While the workflow is designed for speed and ease of use, specialist oversight remains central. The Optellum LCP score serves as clinical decision support and is interpreted alongside imaging, prior exams, patient risk factors, and clinical guidelines. Every AI-generated risk score is reviewed and confirmed by a board-certified SimonMed radiologist before inclusion in the final report, ensuring referred providers receive trusted, actionable findings. Once fully deployed, this workflow will automatically evaluate pulmonary nodules across one of the nation’s largest outpatient imaging networks, representing one of the largest enterprise implementations of AI-powered lung cancer risk assessment worldwide.
The Optellum integration is the latest milestone in SimonMed’s broader strategy to advance medical imaging through clinically validated AI. Across multiple imaging specialties, SimonMed continues to invest in technologies that enhance diagnostic accuracy, improve efficiency, and provide referring providers with more meaningful insights, while ensuring every result remains under the review and oversight of board-certified radiologists.

Teledyne FLIR to Show the New Si2a-PD Continuous Partial Discharge Monitor at Electric & Power Indonesia 2026
A fixed-mount acoustic imaging camera built to watch energized electrical assets around the clock.

Aug 24: Teledyne FLIR will bring the new FLIR Si2a-PD to Electric & Power Indonesia 2026 — a fixed-mount acoustic imaging camera built to watch energized electrical assets around the clock. It joins the portable Si2-Series, iXX-Series, Exx-Series and T-Series cameras at Booth #2501 in Hall A, September 2–5 at the Jakarta International Expo.
Partial discharge is intermittent. A quarterly inspection catches it only if the discharge happens to be active when the inspector walks past. Closing that gap is what the Si2a-PD is for.
Si2a-PD: An Always-On Electrical Guardian
The Si2a-PD detects, locates, classifies and assesses partial discharge, corona and arcing from 0.3 m (1.0 ft) up to 200 m (656 ft). An array of 124 low-noise MEMS microphones covers a 2 kHz to 130 kHz bandwidth and overlays the acoustic image on a 12 MP color camera view with a 75° field of view.
AI-based severity assessment ranks what the camera finds and recommends an action, so the output is a maintenance decision rather than a waveform for someone to interpret. The unit is IP66-rated with VESA mounting for switchgear rooms, GIS and outdoor substations, and it feeds FLIR Assetlink™ for event tracking and integration into existing digital maintenance workflows.
“Partial discharge is often intermittent and can therefore be difficult to capture during routine inspections,” said Darrell Taylor, Business Director for Acoustics at Teledyne FLIR. “With the Si2a-PD, customers gain continuous visibility into their assets, enabling earlier detection, improved reliability, and more informed maintenance decisions.”
Si2-Series: The Portable Counterpart
Where the Si2a-PD stays mounted, the Si2-Series goes to the asset. The Si2-PD locates partial discharge in high-voltage equipment. The Si2-LD finds pressurized leaks and mechanical faults. The Si2-Pro does both and quantifies gas leaks, including hydrogen, CO₂, methane, helium, argon and ammonia. All three use the same 124-microphone array and the same 200 m reach in a one-handed camera that takes minimal training, and the Si2x models carry that capability into ATEX and HazLoc classified areas.
iXX-Series, Exx-Series and T-Series: Thermal on the Same Stand
Thermal imaging remains the fastest way to find a loose connection or an overloaded conductor before it fails. The iXX-Series — the i34 at 240 × 320 and the i64 at 480 × 640 — runs guided workflows on the camera itself and uploads results automatically to FLIR Assetlink™ for route planning or FLIR Ignite™ for trend tracking and work order generation through a connected CMMS.
The Exx-Series runs from the E54 up to the E96, which images at 640 × 480 and measures to 1500°C (2732°F), with laser-assisted autofocus on the E76, E86 and E96. The T-Series adds a 180° rotating lens platform for overhead and floor-level targets and an optional 6° telephoto lens for reading terminations from outside the fence line.

Why Pay More for an EV When You Can Choose Smarter
E-Went is challenging the idea that a better electric scooter has to come with a bigger price tag. Let’s be honest. The EV market has become very good at selling the future. Big Technology. Big Claims. Big Performance numbers. Bigger Price Tags.
But there’s one question most riders still ask before they buy:
“Will this actually make my life better?” That is where E-Went takes a rather different view.
Its philosophy is simple: Smartness isn’t about spending more or less. It’s about choosing better.
And two segments of scooters make that argument particularly well. In popular segment Rabbitor and in Power segment Foxy.
One is built for everyday India. The other is built for riders who want more.
THE RABBITOR: FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN WORRY ABOUT THEIR SCOOTER

Not everyone wants their scooter to be a conversation starter. Sometimes, you just want it to start every morning. You want enough range for your commute. Enough comfort for the family. Enough practicality for everyday errands. And running costs that don’t make you miss petrol. That is the thinking behind the Rabbitor, E-Went’s Popular-range scooter.
Starting at ₹79,350 ex-showroom, it offers up to 140 km IDC range, 4–5 hour charging and an IP67-rated motor and controller designed to handle the dust, water and everyday conditions that Indian scooters actually face.
No unnecessary drama. No paying extra to look futuristic. Just a scooter designed to do its job.
Every day something you can depend on without having to think about it.
THEN THERE’S THE FOXY. WHAT IF “MORE” DIDN’T HAVE TO MEAN “MORE EXPENSIVE”?

This is where the conventional EV formula starts to get uncomfortable. More power usually means more money. More capability usually means a bigger price tag. More features? You guessed it. Foxy doesn’t quite follow the script.
Starting at ₹97,650, the E-Went Foxy delivers up to 60 km/h, up to 170 km IDC range and 0–40 km/h in around 4 seconds.
Then comes the practical stuff that matters when the brochure is forgotten: 272 kg loading capacity. 36-litre boot space. Rugged steel tubular chassis. Triple-lens projector headlamps. And big seat for the Indian middle class commuters.
It is designed for potholes, monsoons, stop-start traffic, heavy loads and the everyday unpredictability of Indian roads. In other words for the Real India.
What if buying an EV didn’t mean choosing between affordable and capable? What if you could choose according to your needs instead?
Choose Rabbitor, and the thought is: “I got everything I actually need.”
Choose Foxy, and the thought becomes: “I got more without paying just for a badge.”
Different riders. Different priorities. Same outcome:
“I made the smarter choice.”
THE NUMBERS MAKE THE ARGUMENT HARDER TO IGNORE.
E-Went isn’t building this proposition on marketing alone. There are already 20,000+ vehicles on Indian roads, backed by a warranty claim rate below 1.5%.
The company has built a network of 250+ dealer partners across seven states—West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Assam.
And every vehicle is tested and certified by ICAT and CIRT under full ISO compliance.
That matters because an EV isn’t just a purchase. And E-Went’s ambition is to make that relationship dependable—from the first test ride to years of ownership.
E-Went is building across Retail, Commercial and Enterprise, bringing products and services discipline to individual riders, rental operators and businesses deploying EVs at scale.
It’s about changing the way people think about value in electric mobility. Not cheapest. Not most expensive. Not most futuristic. Smartest for the person buying it.
MAYBE THE REAL EV UPGRADE ISN’T MORE TECHNOLOGY.
Maybe it’s simply making a better decision. A scooter that costs less to run. A vehicle built for Indian conditions. A product that gives you the features you actually need. A service network that doesn’t disappear after delivery. And a price that doesn’t make “smart choice” feel like a luxury. That is the switch E-Went wants riders to make.
Because the smartest EV isn’t necessarily the one with the biggest claim. It’s the one that makes the most sense when you take it home.
E-WENT – SMARTNESS KA SWITCH ON.
Ready to test the difference?

Aadhaar App Crosses 5 Crore Downloads as Digital Identity Services Gain Momentum
New Delhi, August 20: The Aadhaar App has crossed the milestone of 5 crore downloads, underlining the growing preference among residents for accessing digital identity services through their smartphones.
Developed by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), the app is increasingly serving as a digital interface for Aadhaar holders, offering services such as mobile number, address and email updates, biometric lock and unlock, and e-Aadhaar downloads. More than 60 lakh residents have already updated their mobile numbers through the app, while over 15 lakh have updated their addresses and more than 23 lakh have updated their email details.
The growing use of these facilities reflects a shift towards digital-first Aadhaar services, allowing residents to complete several identity-related processes without visiting an Aadhaar centre. The app follows a “Show, Share and Verify” approach, aimed at giving Aadhaar holders greater control over the use and sharing of their identity information.
Alongside the app’s growing adoption, UIDAI is also expanding its offline verification ecosystem. More than 200 entities have been onboarded as Offline Verification Seeking Entities (OVSEs) since the initiative was rolled out in January. The framework enables organisations to conduct secure, consent-based and paperless Aadhaar verification without requiring real-time access to UIDAI’s central database.
Through mechanisms such as QR code-based verification and secure digitally signed documents, OVSEs can verify identity information while limiting data sharing to what is necessary. The approach is intended to strengthen privacy, user consent and convenience in Aadhaar-based verification.
The expansion of the Aadhaar App and offline verification network is part of the government’s broader Digital India agenda, with a focus on making public digital services more accessible, secure and resident-centric.

Harness Introduces AI Agents for Machine-Speed Vulnerability Response
India, Aug 20: Harness, the AI Software Delivery Platform company, today announced a set of security capabilities – AI SAST, agentic triage and remediation, a dedicated Zero-Day Agent, and virtual patching – that let security teams scan, prioritize, and ship a fix without waiting on a slower, disconnected process.
Frontier AI models are now on both sides of the equation. Attackers are using them to find and chain vulnerabilities faster than ever, going from disclosure to first exploit in as little as six hours, while the average vulnerability still takes over 50 days to fix. Defenders are gaining the same advantage, but unevenly: Project Glasswing partners have surfaced roughly 10 times more vulnerabilities using LLM-based scanning, a wave of visibility that turns into a bigger backlog without a faster way to act.
This is the new baseline, and every enterprise needs to be ready. This means having the ability to scan, triage, and ship a fix at the same machine speed those models now run, rather than relying on a security process built for a slower era.
“We’re at a point where the same AI models helping our customers ship software faster are also what attackers are using to find and exploit vulnerabilities faster,” said Rahul Sood, General Manager of Application Security at Harness. “The only way to close that gap is to make security a first-class part of the delivery pipeline itself, so scanning, prioritization, remediation, and deployment all move together instead of getting stuck in handoffs between disconnected systems. That’s the shift we built these agents around, and it’s the same shift every enterprise is going to have to make to stay ahead.”
Launching Agents Across the Vulnerability Lifecycle
These agents cover every stage a vulnerability moves through, from the moment it’s found to the moment it’s shielded in production, so no single slow step holds up the rest of the chain. Here’s what’s shipping:
- AI SAST: A deterministic scanning engine paired with an AI layer that filters out noise, cutting false positives dramatically while catching complex issues like IDOR that traditional tools miss entirely.
- LLM Scan Orchestration: Teams that run their own LLM scanners can now do it natively inside their pipeline, with results feeding directly into the same triage and remediation workflow as everything else.
- Triage Agent: Automatically triages the flood of scanner findings, prioritizing what’s actually exploitable, so teams can focus their time on real risk.
- Remediation Agent: Writes and validates a fix for a prioritized finding and opens a pull request for a developer to review and approve.
- Zero-Day Agent: Monitors for newly disclosed zero-days around the clock, instantly identifies every affected pipeline and artifact across a customer’s environment, and generates a validated fix ready for review, often within minutes of a threat going public.
- Virtual Patching: Deploys a protective patch the moment a vulnerability is discovered during testing, no code changes required, shielding production immediately while the real fix is finished behind the scenes.
“For customers, this means the distance between ‘we found something’ and ‘it’s fixed and deployed’ shrinks from weeks to hours, without adding headcount or a new tool to manage,” Sood added. “Every agent in this launch is built on the same reachability data, so teams aren’t just moving faster, they’re spending that speed on the vulnerabilities that actually matter instead of chasing noise.”
Extending Harness‘s AI Security Momentum
Harness has invested heavily in AI-driven security since its merger with Traceable in early 2025. Today’s announcement continues that trajectory, following the July 21, 2026 launch of Agent DLC, which brought governance and chain of custody to AI coding agents across the software delivery lifecycle. It also follows new integrations with Kong and Google that extend Harness‘s security and governance capabilities across a wider range of infrastructure and platform partners.
As AI reshapes both software delivery and the threats against it, security has to be built into the platform itself. Harness plans to continue extending this work as the AI models on both sides keep getting more capable.
