The veterinarian-owned startup empowers a network of veterinarians who provide in-home euthanasia to ease the passing of pets at home, surrounded by loved ones.

ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, January 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — CodaPet is proud to welcome a new licensed veterinarian to its team, expanding its in-home pet euthanasia services in Atlanta, GA. Through its network of compassionate veterinarians, CodaPet provides peaceful, in-home euthanasia that allows pets to pass at home, where they feel most at ease, surrounded by the people they love. Dr. Allie Poole will serve pets and pet parents throughout Atlanta and the surrounding areas.

“As an in-home euthanasia veterinarian, I repeatedly hear the heartfelt gratitude and the relief a family feels when they have been able to grant their pet this gift. It is my wish that every family in Atlanta becomes aware of at-home pet euthanasia so they may provide a peaceful and compassionate end-of-life experience for their beloved pets when their time comes,” says Dr. Karen Whala, a co-founder of CodaPet.

Dr. Karen Whala, Dr. Gary Hsia, and Dr. Bethany Hsia are co-founders and veterinarians of CodaPet. They share a passion for increasing both customer access and awareness by empowering a network of veterinarians who provide compassion and professional care to more pets and their families in a familiar environment.

“The Atlanta community has displayed significant love and appreciation for their pets through the human-animal bond. More and more people are interested in in-home euthanasia in order to decrease the stress of families and ensure the comfort of their pet during end-of-life care,” says Dr. Allie Poole.

Dr. Allie Poole, a Kentucky native, brings both clinical expertise and heartfelt compassion to the communities she serves. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Animal Sciences from Berry College in 2017 and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Auburn University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2022 (War Eagle!). After graduation, Dr. Poole spent the past three and a half years practicing small animal and exotic emergency medicine in the Atlanta area, where she supported pets and families through some of their most critical and emotional moments.

From an early age, Dr. Poole knew she was called to advocate for animals who cannot speak for themselves. That calling was deeply shaped by a personal experience with her own childhood pet, whose life ended peacefully through in-home euthanasia. Witnessing the comfort and calm that came from allowing a beloved companion to pass in a familiar environment left a lasting impression and continues to guide her approach to end-of-life care.

Dr. Poole’s love for animals extends beyond her professional life. She rescued her dog, Willett, before starting veterinary school—her constant study companion who earned an honorary “dog-torate” along the way. She later welcomed Harlow, a domestic shorthair cat rescued after a traumatic injury, and Chappell, a Himalayan cat she adopted during her early years in practice after providing lifesaving emergency care. These experiences reinforce Dr. Poole’s belief that every pet deserves compassion, dignity, and comfort, especially during life’s final chapter.

Dr. Allie Poole serves Atlanta and the surrounding communities throughout Fulton County, DeKalb County, and nearby areas like Sandy Springs, Decatur, Smyrna, Brookhaven, Dunwoody, East Point, College Park, and Stone Mountain—providing trusted, compassionate veterinary care across the heart of Metro Atlanta.

How In-home Pet Euthanasia Works

Through CodaPet, pet parents can easily book in-home pet euthanasia performed by a compassionate and licensed veterinarian. Prior to the appointment, the veterinarian contacts the family to address any questions or concerns they might have. At the appointment, the veterinarian assists the family by going over the diagnosis and applying a quality-of-life assessment to objectively assess the pet’s health and ensure there is no uncertainty about the need for euthanasia.

The visit takes, on average, 45 minutes. Pet parents have a window of time to be with their pets privately before and after the euthanasia procedure. The veterinarian only starts the euthanasia process when everyone is ready. This helps bring closure to all family members involved in the end-of-life care of a pet. For those who need support with aftercare, the veterinarian can assist with transportation and cremation services.

Benefits of In-home Pet Euthanasia include:

1. Compassion: In-home pet euthanasia allows for a more compassionate approach to end-of-life care. Pets can be surrounded by their loved ones, receive individual attention and care, and pass away peacefully in a familiar environment.

2. Comfort: One major benefit of in-home pet euthanasia is the comfort it provides to both the pet and their owners. The familiar surroundings of home can help reduce anxiety and stress for pets, making the process more peaceful. In addition, being surrounded by loved ones can provide a sense of support and comfort during a very difficult time.

3. Control: In-home pet euthanasia also allows pet owners to have more control over the experience. They can choose the time and place of the euthanasia, as well as who will be present. In addition, in-home euthanasia allows owners to personalize the experience, including choosing the location, music, lighting, and other factors that can make the experience more meaningful.

4. Closure: Being able to say goodbye in a meaningful way can be an essential part of the grieving process. In-home pet euthanasia allows for a more intimate farewell, which can provide closure and help with the healing process.

In-home Pet Euthanasia Costs

The starting price of in-home euthanasia starts at $300 in Atlanta. The aftercare and cremation price begins at $100 and varies depending on factors such as the driving distance, the pet’s size, and the option for private or communal cremation.

Power-independent modular RIS for eliminating wireless blind spots in 6G and beyond.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, January 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Wave Shine Tech Co., Ltd. is a deep-tech startup specializing in next-generation wireless infrastructure, developing Tile-Based Battery-Powered Intelligent Surface technology designed to overcome fundamental limitations of existing wireless communication systems. As networks evolve toward 6G Communication Infrastructure and increasingly converge with satellite, aerial, and smart infrastructure environments, conventional wireless relay solutions face growing challenges related to power consumption, installation complexity, and operational cost.

Traditional relay and repeater systems rely heavily on signal amplification, complex signal processing, continuous power supply, and fixed wired connections. These structural constraints limit scalability and make deployment difficult in dense urban spaces, large buildings, and power-constrained environments. Wave Shine Tech addresses these challenges by introducing a new physical-layer approach to wireless signal control.

◼ Ultra-Low-Power Wireless Relay Technology Without Signal Amplification

Wave Shine Tech’s intelligent surface functions as an Ultra-Low-Power Wireless Relay Technology that operates without amplifying or decoding signals. Instead, it actively controls electromagnetic wave reflection characteristics through an ultra-low-power reflection control mechanism. By excluding signal amplification and complex signal processing, the system significantly reduces energy consumption while maintaining effective signal redirection.

This architecture enables long-duration operation using minimal power and eliminates many of the cost and maintenance burdens associated with traditional relay equipment. As a result, the technology presents a cost-effective and energy-efficient infrastructure alternative suitable for future 6G Communication Infrastructure deployments.

◼ Tile-Based, Battery-Powered Modular Architecture

A core differentiator of Wave Shine Tech’s solution is its tile-based, battery-powered modular design. Each Tile-Based Battery-Powered Intelligent Surface module operates independently without external power sources or wired infrastructure. This architecture minimizes installation constraints and enables flexible placement and scalable deployment based on environmental conditions.

The modular structure allows intelligent surfaces to be expanded, repositioned, or reconfigured according to site-specific requirements, making the technology adaptable to a wide range of deployment scenarios, including large indoor facilities, smart infrastructure, remote outdoor locations, and temporary installations.

◼ Structurally Addressing Wireless Blind Spots

Wireless blind spots are increasingly recognized as structural challenges rather than simple coverage gaps. Physical obstacles, building layouts, and infrastructure limitations often prevent signals from propagating effectively, even when transmission power is increased.

Wave Shine Tech’s Ultra-Low-Power Wireless Relay Technology addresses these challenges at the physical layer by reshaping signal propagation paths instead of relying on higher transmission power. This structural approach enables more efficient and sustainable coverage improvement, particularly in complex environments expected to dominate next-generation 6G Communication Infrastructure.

◼ Expanding Global Validation and PoC Collaboration Ecosystem

Wave Shine Tech is actively expanding technical validation and proof-of-concept (PoC) collaborations with global research institutions and industry partners. These efforts establish a foundation for evaluating Tile-Based Battery-Powered Intelligent Surface technology across diverse real-world environments.

Target application areas include 6G mobile communication systems, satellite and aerial communication platforms, smart cities, large-scale in-building coverage, and defense and aerospace communication infrastructure. Through these collaborations, the company aims to verify performance, scalability, and deployment feasibility under practical operating conditions.

◼ Scalable Intelligent Surface Product Portfolio

Building on its core Tile-Based Battery-Powered Intelligent Surface platform, Wave Shine Tech plans to sequentially introduce a diversified portfolio of intelligent surface products optimized for different deployment requirements.

Planned offerings include battery-powered intelligent surfaces designed for ultra-low-power, long-term operation in power-constrained environments; amplified intelligent surfaces that combine reflection control with signal amplification to support wider coverage and enhanced signal quality; and fixed-reflection intelligent surfaces that enable cost-efficient large-scale coverage expansion through simplified reflection structures.

◼ Integrated Technical Verification and Deployment Support

In addition to product development, Wave Shine Tech provides integrated technical verification and collaboration services. These services include installation environment analysis, system design, deployment planning, on-site application, and real-environment PoC execution.

By offering an end-to-end validation framework, the company supports telecommunications operators, research institutions, and infrastructure operators in practically evaluating Ultra-Low-Power Wireless Relay Technology and preparing for future 6G Communication Infrastructure deployments.

WILMINGTON, DE, UNITED STATES, January 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Aquelyst develops environmental and molecular remediation solutions based on aqueous catalyst technologies designed to interact with odor-causing compounds at a chemical level. In post-spill residential settings, this approach is applied to address persistent fuel-related compounds, positioning the technology as a heating oil spill odor remover focused on molecular interaction rather than masking or physical extraction.

Aquelyst applies aqueous catalyst–based remediation technologies designed to interact with residual odor-causing compounds commonly present after fuel-related incidents in managed environments. The solution scope focuses on molecular interaction with persistent hydrocarbons and related byproducts rather than physical removal or microbial treatment. Intended users include property managers, restoration professionals, and facilities teams overseeing residential or enclosed spaces. The technology does not mask odors, provide real-time monitoring, or automate operational decisions.

The system is formulated to support molecular-level interaction and compound neutralization through controlled chemical processes. Its application targets residual contaminants embedded in surfaces and porous materials without relying on fragrances or reactive masking agents. Use is manual and non-mechanized, allowing integration into existing remediation or maintenance workflows while maintaining a consistent, chemistry-driven approach.

Aquelyst applies a source-level remediation method that focuses on chemical interaction with fuel-related odor compounds rather than surface deodorization alone. This approach supports environmental consistency by addressing residual hydrocarbons that may persist after an incident. By operating at a molecular interaction stage, the technology aligns with basement fuel spill odor control practices that emphasize process stability and measured environmental management without asserting outcome guarantees.

The solution may be applied in residential and managed environments where fuel-related odors remain after a spill has been contained. Typical settings include basements, utility rooms, storage areas, and enclosed residential spaces with porous building materials. It may also be used in multi-unit properties or managed facilities as part of broader maintenance or restoration workflows. Applications are informational and do not imply automated control, continuous operation, or guaranteed environmental outcomes.

Aquelyst solutions are not designed to perform real-time system adjustments, operate or control mechanical equipment, or manage remediation processes directly. The technology does not provide personalized recommendations, automated decision-making, or on-site operational oversight. Application methods and frequency remain user-directed and are intended to supplement, not replace, established remediation or maintenance procedures.

The technology is based on established principles of aqueous catalyst chemistry and molecular remediation developed for industrial and environmental applications. Formulation and deployment are supported by internal research and documented chemical interaction models rather than external data feeds or connected systems. In residential contexts, this scientific foundation informs guidance on how to remove heating oil smell from house environments without reliance on integrated infrastructure.

Why Movement Intelligence
Traditional consumer health tools emphasize metrics like steps, heart rate, and sleep. Movement intelligence captures how the body functions—mobility, stability, asymmetry, compensation patterns, and changes over time—unlocking personalization that reflects real-world capability, not just activity volume. Together, Brava and AMV aim to establish movement as a core biomarker within Brava Health OS and support Brava’s long-term intelligence roadmap, including risk stratification, adaptive insights, movement archetypes, and future predictive modeling.

What’s Next
The partnership will begin with joint module definition and technical integration planning, followed by validation workflows supported through AMV-facilitated Sports Academy environments. Early rollouts will focus on D2C engagement and targeted B2B2C opportunities across longevity, performance, workforce readiness, and fall-risk prevention.

Brava Health is building Brava Health OS, an adaptive and personalized platform designed to unify data, behavior, and guidance into a seamless user experience. Brava helps individuals take daily action across the pillars of health through personalized plans, insights, and coaching. https://www.brava.health/

Independent analyst recognizes ECI’s industry-specific ERP and practical AI approach for SMB manufacturers

FORT WORTH, TX, UNITED STATES, January 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — ECI Software Solutions, a leader in AI-powered, cloud-based business management software and services, today announced it has been named 2025 Best Practices Product Leader by Frost & Sullivan for SMB Manufacturing in North America, its highest product specific honor.

The recognition is based on Frost & Sullivan’s independent market analysis of ERP providers serving small and mid-sized manufacturers. The firm cited ECI’s purpose-built, industry-specific ERP platforms, practical and embedded approach to AI, and proven execution at scale as key differentiators versus horizontal ERP providers. Unlike one-size-fits-all platforms, ECI’s solutions are built to reflect how manufacturers actually operate, enabling faster decisions, tighter cost control, and greater resilience across job shop, mixed-mode, and batch and process environments.

Frost & Sullivan highlighted ECI’s manufacturing ecosystem, which includes JobBOSS², M1, Deacom, and Ridder iQ, noting that each platform is optimized for the specific needs of its target segment. Deacom, in particular, is cited as a disruptive force in batch and process manufacturing, where many competitors rely on outdated or bolt-on solutions.

“What differentiates ECI is not simply its use of AI, but how intentionally that intelligence is applied,” said Sankara Narayanan, Industry Director at Frost & Sullivan. “By embedding autonomous and assisted intelligence directly into manufacturing workflows and designing every capability with a clear purpose, ECI reduces complexity for users while enabling faster, more confident execution across the business.”

This practical approach extends across ECI’s AI capabilities, including agentic quoting and AI-powered BOM creation, which automate administrative work, improve accuracy, and help manufacturers respond faster while maintaining quality and cost control.

“We’re honored to receive this recognition from Frost & Sullivan,” said Sarah Hagan, President and COO at ECI Software Solutions. “SMB manufacturers are under constant pressure from rising costs, supply chain volatility, and labor constraints. Our focus remains on delivering industry-specific, AI-driven solutions that remove friction, improve efficiency, and help manufacturers grow profitably.”

Frost & Sullivan’s Product Leadership Recognition reflects ECI’s performance across product innovation, customer impact, and growth potential, as well as its ability to deliver rapid time-to-value and scale alongside customers as their needs evolve.
