Ozelle to Debut O-Cyte 1 at ADLM 2026, Bringing Speed to AI-Powered Morphology Intelligence

ANAHEIM, Calif. and FRANKFURT, Germany, June 30 -- Ozelle will unveil O-Cyte 1, its newest automated hematology analyzer, at ADLM 2026 in California. Making its global debut at one of the leading international events for diagnostics and laboratory medicine, O-Cyte 1 marks Ozelle's latest milestone in advancing the 4th Generation of Hematology Analysis through AI × CBM (Complete Blood Morphology). For decades, cellular morphology has been one of the most valuable sources of hematology insight. Yet bringing morphology into routine hematology workflows without slowing productivity has remained a challenge. Manual microscopy depends on specialist expertise, while image-based approaches have expanded what laboratories can see but have not always fit seamlessly into routine high-throughput workflows. O-Cyte 1 is designed to address this gap by bringing morphology intelligence, scalable throughput, and operational simplicity into one compact system. Built on Ozelle's AI × CBM technology, the analyzer transforms cell images into structured morphology insight, supporting a workflow that moves beyond numerical parameters toward image-based evidence and consistent interpretation.  Designed for productive clinical workflows, O-Cyte 1 supports up to 60 tests per hour as a standalone unit and up to 360 tests per hour through cascaded expansion. Its compact footprint, modular architecture, minimal-maintenance workflow, and service-ready design are intended to help healthcare providers and laboratory operators improve efficiency while reducing operational complexity. "O-Cyte 1 reflects our vision of making advanced morphology intelligence more practical, scalable, and accessible for everyday hematology workflows," said Raymond, head of Ozelle North America division. "At ADLM, we look forward to showing global partners how AI-powered morphology can move into more productive hematology workflows." At ADLM 2026, Ozelle will present O-Cyte 1 alongside its clinical hematology portfolio. As demand grows for efficient and scalable hematology solutions across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, India, and beyond, Ozelle aims to support diverse clinical settings with AI-powered diagnostic systems designed for everyday practice. Visitors and partners are invited to experience O-Cyte 1 at Booth 2517 during ADLM 2026, July 28–30, at the Anaheim Convention Center. Partners unable to attend in person are also welcome to request a product briefing and explore regional collaboration opportunities.   -- PRNewswire -- Source: Ozelle

Vibefam Raises US$1 Million to Build an AI-Powered Operating System for Fitness Businesses

SINGAPORE and NEW YORK, June 18 -- Vibefam, the all-in-one operating system for fitness businesses, announced the completion of a US$1 million seed funding round led by a Singapore-based family office with a strong track record of backing category-defining technology companies. In addition to capital, the investor brings deep operating insight and a network built through years of supporting founders and working alongside leading venture investors.  Today, Vibefam powers more than 700 fitness locations worldwide and serves over 500,000 end users. The platform supports a diverse range of fitness businesses, including Pilates studios, yoga studios, strength and conditioning gyms, dance academies, martial arts schools, and boutique fitness brands. The investment will accelerate Vibefam's mission to help fitness businesses launch, operate, and scale through a unified platform that combines operations, payments, customer engagement, and growth solutions within a single platform. The funding comes at a time when fitness operators are increasingly seeking intelligent operating platforms that unify operations, payments, and customer engagement, replacing fragmented technology stacks and legacy software platforms. "Fitness businesses deserve technology that works as hard as they do," said Serene Lim, Co-Founder and CEO of Vibefam. "Many operators still juggle multiple disconnected systems to manage bookings, payments, customer communication, marketing, and reporting. We're building a platform that brings everything together, helping businesses operate more efficiently while delivering better experiences to their customers." The newly raised capital will primarily be invested into artificial intelligence and embedded financial services, two areas the company believes will fundamentally reshape how service businesses operate. In July 2026, Vibefam will launch Vibe AI, a messaging-native customer engagement platform that allows members to interact with fitness businesses through natural conversations. From answering enquiries and recommending classes to completing bookings and re-engaging inactive customers, the platform helps businesses deliver instant service at scale without increasing administrative workload. The company is also expanding its embedded finance capabilities through a growing network of financial partners, enabling eligible businesses to access funding directly within the Vibefam platform to support expansion, hiring, equipment purchases, and working capital needs. By leveraging operational data already available on Vibefam, eligible businesses can gain faster access to growth capital with significantly reduced paperwork and approval times. "We believe the future of business software will be proactive, intelligent, and deeply embedded into the daily operations of every business," Lim added. "The opportunity extends far beyond managing bookings and payments. We're building infrastructure that helps fitness businesses acquire customers, automate operations, access capital, and make better decisions every day." The funding will support continued product development, strategic hiring, and the expansion of Vibefam's AI and embedded finance capabilities as the company continues its evolution into a comprehensive operating system for fitness businesses.

Apple Launches Ai-powered Siri Upgrade

CALIFORNIA, June 9 -- Apple has launched an artificial intelligence-powered version of its voice assistant, Siri, featuring enhanced voice recognition and a standalone application during its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) at its Cupertino headquarters. Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported that the new version, Siri AI, enables the assistant to pull deeper insights from the internet when answering queries. It can also reference previous conversations to access details such as an address sent in a message, even if the information was not formally saved. Apple stated that Siri AI introduces a new voice experience, allowing the assistant to speak more expressively and responsively. The software will be available on iPads, with development underway to expand it to Apple Watches. The company noted that Siri AI will not initially be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union or China, pending the completion of regulatory procedures. Images and searches conducted using Siri AI will be saved in a new standalone application available across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with the software integrating directly into Apple's private cloud computing infrastructure. The upgraded Siri will initially roll out in English, with additional languages to be introduced at a later, unspecified date. -- BERNAMA-WAM
