Aiomics and StreamedUp partner to deliver course on the general “AI Literacy” required by European law
“Dr. Sven Jungmann of aiomics on the AI Competency course for clinicians at the StreamedUp Academy.”

Aiomics partners with the medical education platform StreamedUp to launch a CME-certified curriculum on AI competence. Partnering with major medical societies including the DGIM and BVOU, the initiative addresses the broad “AI Literacy” requirement of the EU AI Act, focusing on the fundamental principles of probabilistic medicine rather than specific software tools.

BERLIN – The enforcement of the European Union’s AI Act introduces a sweeping regulatory change that extends far beyond technical standards for manufacturers. A core component of the legislation is the requirement for “AI Literacy” among those who deploy these systems. This mandate applies broadly to the medical profession, requiring physicians to possess the technical and ethical competence to use algorithmic tools responsibly. To bridge the gap between this statutory obligation and current medical training, aiomics has partnered with StreamedUp, a specialist in digital medical education, to release a comprehensive competency curriculum.

The partnership addresses a critical lag in the digitization of healthcare: while clinics are rapidly adopting AI-driven solutions—from automated documentation to diagnostic support—the workforce often lacks the epistemological framework to evaluate them. The EU AI Act makes closing this knowledge gap binding.

The resulting course, titled “Understanding, Using, and Taking Responsibility for AI,” offers 3 CME points and distinguishes itself by rejecting a “tool-centric” approach. Instead of training physicians on specific software interfaces which change rapidly, the curriculum focuses on enduring principles of algorithmic logic.

“The introduction of AI requires a fundamental update to the physician’s skill set,” says Dr. Sven Jungmann, the course instructor and a specialist in medical AI. “In traditional medicine, we rely on deterministic data. With AI, we are dealing with probabilistic outputs. The new curriculum teaches doctors how to perform a robust plausibility check—to interpret, control, and contextually validate AI suggestions. This ability to judge the machine’s output is what defines ‘AI Literacy’ under the new law.”

The curriculum is structured into three distinct modules:
- The Transformation of Practice: This module examines the current impact of AI on diagnostics, documentation, and organizational flows, identifying where these systems are already active in the clinical reality.
- Function and Limits: Participants learn the operational mechanics of AI models to understand their inherent technical boundaries. The focus is on interpreting results within a clinical context and recognizing when a system is hallucinating or operating outside its capabilities.
- The Regulatory Framework: The final section translates the requirements of the EU AI Regulation into actionable steps, clarifying how physicians can deploy these technologies in a legally compliant and ethically responsible manner.
Upon completion, participants receive a certificate serving as proof of the general AI competence required for the healthcare sector.

Recognizing that this competence is a cross-disciplinary necessity, the initiative is supported by meaningful partnerships with leading medical bodies, including the German Society for Internal Medicine (DGIM), the Professional Association of Orthopedic and Trauma Surgeons (BVOU), the German Obesity Society (Deutsche Adipositas Gesellschaft), and the innovation network 10XD. These endorsements signal a consensus that AI literacy is no longer an optional specialization, but a fundamental component of modern medical practice.

Sophtron Brings Personal Data into ChatGPT, Now You Have a Real Personal Financial Advisor

(PRUnderground) January 13th, 2026

According to a survey conducted by LendingTree, https://www.lendingtree.com/credit-cards/study/ai-chatbot-users/, 49% of AI chatbot users report that AI has influenced a financial decision, and 26% of users typically turn to chatbots for financial information. Among them, 61% seek help with personal finance management, 42% inquire about stock market trends, and 40% request assistance with public services such as Medicaid.

Despite this demand, a significant limitation remains: ChatGPT and similar models can only provide general advice because they lack specific “knowledge” of an individual’s financial profile—including income, spending habits, and retirement accounts. Consequently, the guidance offered is often generic and not directly applicable to the user’s unique situation.

Sophtron is addressing this gap as the AI Agent connecting millions of users to their bank, credit card, investment, mortgage, loan, and utility accounts. By providing a comprehensive view of a user’s financial status, Sophtron now makes this critical data available within AI chatbots like ChatGPT.

“AI models like ChatGPT are incredibly powerful, but without the context of real personal data, their financial advice often remains generic and limited,” said Nanjuan Shi, Founder at Sophtron. “By securely bringing siloed transaction data into the chat, Sophtron unlocks a new level of relevance and usefulness, transforming ChatGPT into a personalized financial adviser that can offer concrete, tailored guidance on how people spend, save, and plan.”

The company is proud to introduce the Sophtron in-chat-app (formerly known as the connector) inside ChatGPT. By adding Sophtron app and simply typing “launch Sophtron” within the chat interface, users can securely connect their banking, utility, and brokerage accounts.

Once the connection is established, Sophtron requests explicit user permission to return account or transaction data to the chat. This allows ChatGPT to function as a dedicated financial assistant, offering truly personalized advice based on real-time data.

A showcase of this integration can be viewed at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crkiQ0A010s

Sophtron believes the emergence of AI assistants will drastically reshape the financial services landscape, enabling previously impossible use cases. Future scenarios include AI assistants reminding users of upcoming utility bills, recommending credit cards to maximize cash back based on spending habits during a cash crunch, providing mortgage quotes based on income, or offering advice on rebalancing 401k mutual funds to achieve retirement goals.

Privacy and security remain paramount. All interactions occur in a user-controlled, secured manner. Only data explicitly granted by the user is accessible by the AI assistant, and sensitive financial information is restricted to the user’s individual account, ensuring it is never shared with other users or used for training Large Language Models (LLMs).

Sophtron invites parties interested in learning more or exploring new use cases on the AI platform to get in touch for potential collaboration.

About Sophtron, Inc

Sophtron is a premier financial data aggregation platform providing secure, real-time access to tens of thousands of banking, investment, loan, insurance, utility, and other data sources. By bridging the gap between siloed data and AI reasoning, Sophtron empowers the next generation of fintech ecosystems.

Silverado Residents Will Soon Benefit From Science-Backed Memory Air™ Technology

Based on peer-reviewed research, the innovative program helps residents train their sense of smell to strengthen memory.

With tools like Memory Air we’re seeing how this simple, noninvasive approach can substantially support residents’ memory and thinking.”

— Kim Butrum, MS, RN, GNP, Silverado Senior Vice President, Clinical Services

IRVINE, CA, UNITED STATES, January 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Silverado, a global leader in memory care innovation, today announced a nationwide partnership with Memory Air™ from Science Lab 3, bringing the company’s science-backed, scent-based cognitive enrichment technology to all 26 Silverado memory care communities across the nation. This marks one the largest memory-care deployment of olfactory enrichment technology in the United States.

Memory Air is grounded in more than 16 years of neuroscience research led by Dr. Michael Leon, Professor Emeritus of Neurobiology at UC Irvine and one of the world’s top sensory-enrichment researchers. In a 2023 randomized controlled trial, adults ages 60–85 experienced a 226% greater improvement in memory performance after six months of nightly exposure to various scents. In a separate published study conducted in memory care centers, olfactory enrichment created improvements up to 300% on five different memory tests. Participants also experienced a 325% improvement in depression scores, with all of these gains observed after just 15 days of therapy.

Through the partnership, Memory Air units will be available to interested residents and their families. Residents will use the plug-in device to automate this protocol via rotating natural scents released during sleep, targeting neural pathways essential to memory and cognitive resilience.
“Our studies demonstrate that nightly scent stimulation can significantly improve memory function in older adults,” said Dr. Michael Leon. “With Memory Air, that science becomes effortless to implement. The device works passively as residents sleep, making cognitive support accessible without requiring any extra effort from the user.”

In keeping with Silverado’s dedication to further understanding of dementia through research, the company plans to publish a white paper following six months of deploying Memory Air, tracking improvements in cognition and the behavioral and psychological symptoms that can occur in dementia. In addition, a focus will be placed on evaluating the device’s impact among a distinct subset of residents at Silverado, who are former professional football players living with complex traumatic brain injuries.

“We’ve long known that loss of smell is closely tied to conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s,” said Kim Butrum, RN, MS, GNP-BC Gerontological Nurse Practitioner and Senior Vice President, Clinical Service, Silverado Memory Care Communities. “What’s so exciting today is that we finally have an evidence-based way to gently stimulate the sense of smell, and with tools like Memory Air we’re seeing how this simple, noninvasive approach can substantially support residents’ memory and thinking.”

This partnership aligns with Silverado’s longstanding commitment to integrating research-informed care and advanced, person-centered technologies. Programs such as Nexus at Silverado, as well as tools like Eversound, have demonstrated measurable improvements in resident engagement, communication, and cognitive support. Adding Memory Air builds on that foundation, further strengthening Silverado’s mission to combine science, compassionate, well-trained staff, and purposeful innovation.

“Silverado is dedicated to bringing significant quality of life improvements through evidence-based innovations to those we serve,” said Loren Shook, President, CEO, Chairman, and Co-Founder of Silverado. “Memory Air offers a simple, noninvasive way to expand cognitive support for our residents and represents an exciting next step in our commitment to meaningful, research-driven care.”
Several peer-reviewed studies support the potential of olfactory enrichment, with research linking smell loss to more than 100 conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and depression, further underscoring the promise of scent-based stimulation as a scalable tool for long-term brain health.

PLEXIS Healthcare Systems Provides Guidance on Responsible AI Adoption for Healthcare Payers

Enterprise payer platforms remain the system of record as AI accelerates productivity and insight.

AI does not replace core systems that execute premium invoicing, claims processing/payment, ensure compliance, and maintain accountability. In healthcare, execution and trust remain paramount.”

— Jorge Yant, CEO of PLEXIS Healthcare Systems

MEDFORD, OR, UNITED STATES, January 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — PLEXIS Healthcare Systems, a trusted provider of enterprise core administration and claims processing platforms for healthcare payers, today issued guidance to help health plans, TPAs, and delegated risk organizations navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare.
Recent announcements from major AI technology providers have elevated industry interest in generative AI tools for healthcare. PLEXIS welcomes this innovation and emphasizes the importance of understanding how AI should be responsibly applied within regulated payer operations.

“AI has the potential to significantly improve productivity, insight, and user experience across healthcare operations,” said Jorge Yant, CEO of PLEXIS Healthcare Systems. “However, AI does not replace the core systems that execute premium invoicing, claims processing/payment, manage member benefits and provider agreements, ensure compliance, and maintain accountability. In healthcare, execution and trust remain paramount.”

AI as an Augmentation Layer, not a Replacement
PLEXIS notes that AI technologies are best positioned to augment human workflows (keeping the “human in the loop”), such as documentation summarization, decision support, and operational insight, while enterprise payer platforms remain the system of record responsible for deterministic processing, regulatory compliance, and financial accuracy.

Healthcare payer operations require:
• Auditable and repeatable outcomes
• Compliance with Medicare, Medicaid, and state regulations
• Accurate claims adjudication and encounter reporting
• Precise premium billing and revenue reconciliation

“These responsibilities cannot be delegated to probabilistic systems alone,” added Yant. “AI must operate with clear guardrails, integrated into platforms that are purpose-built for healthcare payer execution.”

The PLEXIS Approach to AI Enablement
PLEXIS has long supported innovation through modular architecture, providing and connecting to 3rd-party APIs, and configurable workflows. The company’s platforms are designed to integrate with emerging AI technologies in a secure, governed, and flexible manner, enabling clients to benefit from innovation without compromising accuracy or compliance.

Examples of AI-enabled opportunities include:
• Accelerating new provider onboarding, customer service and other operational workflows
• Enhancing claims and authorization review efficiency
• Improving audit readiness and reporting clarity
• Supporting faster configuration and onboarding processes

“PLEXIS is readying a beta release of its Quantum Choice core administrative system with embedded AI-assisted workflows for client user review and feedback. Each of these new features keeps “responsible AI” in mind. Responsible AI adoption is about knowing where AI adds value, and where accountability must remain firmly anchored,” said Yant. “PLEXIS is committed to helping our clients do both.”

A Call for Clarity in a Rapidly Evolving Market
As AI adoption accelerates, PLEXIS encourages healthcare payer organizations to evaluate technology decisions through the lens of execution, compliance, and long-term trust.

“Healthcare payers should not feel pressure to replace core administrative platforms to participate in AI innovation,” Yant concluded. “The future belongs to platforms that combine automation, configurability, and trusted execution with intelligent augmentation.”

About PLEXIS Healthcare Systems
PLEXIS Healthcare Systems delivers trusted enterprise core administration and claims management solutions to healthcare payers and delivery systems worldwide. More than 100 organizations trust PLEXIS core administrative enterprise solutions to manage millions of lives in all 50 states and around the world. PLEXIS provides mission-critical solutions that catalyze efficiencies and connect evolving business ecosystems to a wide range of payer organizations.

From the Shop Floor to CTO: Workers Benefit Fund Appoints Brad Schmelzer as Chief Technology Officer

Brad Schmelzer joins Workers Benefit Fund as CTO to build interoperable, scalable tech connecting gig and non-traditional workers to benefits and services.

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, January 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Workers Benefit Fund (WBF) has appointed Brad Schmelzer as its Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to expand WBF’s capacity to build and support technology that strengthens worker organizations, including unions and the growing gig workforce.

Schmelzer began his union journey in 2001 while working at a union machinist shop and pursuing a degree in Computer Information Systems. His commitment to labor advocacy grew quickly—he went on to serve as a shop steward and later as a communications representative for IAM Local 153 in Evansville, Indiana. That early experience in the labor movement shaped his belief in technology as a tool for empowerment and solidarity.

Schmelzer brings more than two decades of experience building IT systems and digital infrastructure for unions. Before joining WBF, he served as President of UnionTrack, Inc., a firm specializing in digital tools that help unions communicate, organize, and engage members. Earlier, he spent over a decade with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), where he led large-scale modernization projects as IT Director.

At WBF, Schmelzer will focus on building interoperable, scalable technology that connects workers to benefits and services, particularly for gig and non-traditional workers who are often excluded from traditional benefit systems. His appointment reflects WBF’s continued national growth and its investment in long-term infrastructure to support benefit delivery, data integration, and secure collaboration across unions, worker organizations, and partners.

“As we scale nationally, technology becomes critical to delivering benefits simply, reliably, and at scale especially for gig workers whose work doesn’t fit neatly into traditional systems,” said Nick Abramovich, CEO of Workers Benefit Fund. “Brad brings rare credibility across both labor and technology. He understands how to build and connect systems that actually work for unions and for workers.”

“We’re not looking to reinvent what’s already working,” said Schmelzer. “Our goal is to build on what unions and their partners have created by connecting systems, integrating data, and improving access for members. Collaboration is the key.”

WBF’s mission is to ensure workers, especially those in non-traditional and gig roles can access meaningful benefits and modern tools that support economic security and collective power. WBF partners with unions, benefit funds, and technology providers to build a more connected, worker-centered ecosystem.

About Workers Benefit Fund (WBF)
Workers Benefit Fund (WBF) is a national benefits and healthcare technology company on a mission to improve access, utilization, and outcomes for working families. We partner with labor organizations and unions to design, operate, and scale health and wellness benefit programs for today’s decentralized and non-traditional workforce. WBF’s interoperable, enterprise-grade platform enables secure collaboration, real-time data integration, and scalable benefit delivery,particularly for gig workers and others outside traditional HR systems.

WBF delivers end-to-end support at scale across the healthcare lifecycle, including personalized care navigation, multilingual assistance, and in-community services such as mobile clinics and mental health counseling. Through this integrated, hands-on model, WBF closes access gaps and drives measurable improvements by helping workers get the care and services they need.

SXTC-DYADICA Global Brand Consulting Declare the New Battlefield of Branding: The Creation of their Brand Warfare Unit™

SXTC Global & DYADICA Global Declare New Battlefield of Branding: The Creation of their Brand Warfare Unit™. Brand Strategy Will Define NEXTGEN Market Leaders.

For over three decades, SXTC and DYADICA have been at the forefront of the “brand strategy drives business strategy” evolution (CMA Conference 2002—SXTC-DYADICA)”

— Esteban Jaworski, Director

LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, January 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — SXTC Global & DYADICA Global Declare the New Battlefield of Branding: The Creation of their Brand Warfare Unit™. Brand Strategy, Not Creative or Design, Will Define NEXTGEN Market Leaders.

SXTC Global Brand Consulting, together with its elite brand strategy and brand building arm DYADICA Global (www.dyadica.co), today announced a decisive shift in the global branding landscape: The creation of their Global Brand Warfare (GBW) Unit™.

As artificial intelligence(AI) rapidly democratizes creative and design capabilities resulting in creative and design parity amongst small and large brands, the true competitive frontier for NEXTGEN brands is moving into a domain far more complex, investment intensive, and far more resistant to automation: human “brain-driven” high level brand strategy. We are entering a new era of top/elite school MBA talent being the green fee for entry and the massive costs and investment are going to polarize the industry into the “haves” and “have nots.” As in investment banking where highly skilled experts engineer massive financial solutions there is a parallel in brand building where elite, highly skilled brand strategists, brand leaders and brand consultants engineer and manage brand success, brand assets and equity build.

For over three decades, SXTC and DYADICA have been at the forefront of this “brand strategy drives business strategy” evolution (CMA Conference 2002—SXTC-DYADICA)—long before AI entered the mainstream conversation. With 15 global bestselling brand strategy and brand building books, dozens of industry defining white papers, news articles, and a body of original ideation SXTC and DYADICA have reshaped how global brands think, operate, and compete. The firm now stands as one of the world’s most advanced niche “elite consulting authorities” on brand strategy, brand warfare and evolution, brand management, brand architecture, brand systems engineering, and long horizon brand value and equity creation.

AI Has Leveled the Creative & Design Playing Field—But Not the Strategic One:

As generative AI tools make artistic, design, content creation, and visual identity development accessible to even the smallest startups, the traditional “creative agency advantage” is collapsing. What once required large budgets and specialized talent can now be produced in minutes by small and SME brands through the power of well manipulated AI. But AI cannot replicate the deep-trained, multidisciplinary, time-intensive training of elite MBA level strategic intelligence and skillsets required to “genesize,” build, scale, propagate, manage, evolve and defend a brand in a hyper competitive and resource-draining global market where the competition never ceases and fights back.

This is the competitive space and mindset where SXTC Global and DYADICA Global have always operated—and where their decades of expertise, ruthless brand innovation, high-level skillsets, and leadership are now more critical than ever.

The SXTC-DYADICA Global Brand Warfare (GBW) Unit™ has genesized out of both necessity and direction dictated by many factors involved in The NEXTGEN Battlefield: Elite Brand Strategy.

The emerging competitive arena(s) demands the following:

• Brand Evolution
• Brand warfare
• Advanced strategic and tactical brand architecture
• Long term strategic identity and market positioning
• Market shaping ideation
• Competitive brand countermeasures
• Brand equity drivers, undertraining, and strategic management
• Behavioral economics driven brand systems
• Global brand governance and brand management frameworks
• High stakes strategic decision making
• MBA level analytical and operational expertise

These are disciplines that require top tier credentials and elite institution training, decades of highest-level robust experience, deep elite academic grounding, and the rare ability to synthesize identity strategy and applications, economics, business strategy and game theory, finance and control, psychology, culture, technology, equity creation, brand evolution, and competitive consumer, market and cultural intelligence.

AI can assist—but it cannot lead:

And this is precisely why SXTC and DYADICA are now being recognized as the elite strategic partners for brands preparing for the next era of global competition. They fundamentally understand that brands cannot and should not forfeit strategic brand responsibility to non-human entities. SXTC Global Brand Consulting’s GBW Unit’s key mandate is to ensure and propagate the belief that only human-driven brand thought, skillsets, and leadership are what really will drive brand excellence across levels strategic and tactical. AI is seen as merely a supportive tool in this mandate and supporting endeavor(s).

Why Elite Strategy Will Define the Future:

As AI accelerates, the brands that win and dominate their markets will be those with:

• Clear dedication to brand strategy leadership, strategic brand differentiation, and brand innovation across a myriad of defined areas
• Understanding of strategic brand evolution and enhancing market positions
• Long term brand identity, brand value, brand skillset, and brand equity building systems
• Cohesive local and global brand architectures that evolve strategically not tactically
• Leadership teams capable of high level strategic thinking across all aspects of brands and brand management
• Creative, Design, brand asset building, and pioneering efficiencies generated by the best practice manipulation and leveraging of AI

This is not a domain for generalists or low cost agencies. This is the realm of elite strategic experts, top tier MBAs, front-line brand directors and global brand architects—the exact space SXTC and DYADICA have dominated for decades.

Three Decades of Pioneering Work:

SXTC Global Brand Consulting and DYADICA Global have built a legacy that includes:
• 30+ years of global brand consulting leadership
• 15 bestselling books that have influenced brand leaders worldwide
• Dozens of white papers, articles in leading global media, and ideation concepts and models that have changed the way brands think and operate.
• A proprietary ideation ecosystem that has shaped the strategic direction and day to day brand management of Fortune & FTSE level brands
• A NEXTGEN brand building methodology, proprietary model, and unique best practice-based mindset that integrates AI, behavioral science, and advanced strategic modeling

The SXTC Global Brand Consulting-DYADICA ideation library—available at https://www.dyadica.co/ideation— has been cited as one of the most influential bodies of work in modern brand strategy.
