HoneyNaps Develops Next-Generation Wireless PSG system Using Four Skin Patches

- Patch-based wireless sensors and AI-powered analysis combine to improve patient comfort and clinical efficiency in polysomnography

- New platform reduces more than 24 wired sensors to four compact patches, with potential applications in hospitals, home sleep testing and remote monitoring

BOSTON, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- HoneyNaps, specializing in AI-powered sleep medical devices, has developed a next-generation wireless polysomnography system that combines patch-based skin sensors with artificial intelligence-driven analysis.

Polysomnography (PSG) is the standard diagnostic test for sleep disorders such as sleep apnea. Conventional PSG, however, generally requires patients to spend a night at a hospital while connected to more than 24 wired sensors placed across the face, chest, abdomen and legs. The complex setup and restricted movement can cause considerable discomfort. Sleeping in an unfamiliar clinical environment may also affect patients' usual sleep patterns, potentially making it more difficult to capture representative data.

To overcome these limitations, HoneyNaps redesigned the conventional PSG measurement architecture. Its Wireless PSG system consists of four compact skin patches: a Head Sensor, Chest Sensor, Body Sensor and Leg Sensor. Together, they consolidate the functions previously performed by numerous wired sensors into a single wearable platform.

Once the patches are attached, the system can capture the primary physiological signals required for polysomnography without cables. These include electroencephalography (EEG), electrooculography (EOG), electrocardiography (ECG), electromyography (EMG), respiratory airflow, blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂), body position and physical activity.

The system's capabilities extend beyond wireless connectivity. HoneyNaps incorporated a six-layer flexible printed circuit board design, an integrated analog-to-digital converter and sensor architecture, wireless noise-reduction technology and electrostatic discharge protection to maintain medical-grade signal quality during extended monitoring. A low-power design is intended to reduce the burden on patients while supporting potential use in both hospitals and future home-based polysomnography settings.

Data collected through the wireless skin sensors are integrated with SOMNUM, HoneyNaps' AI-powered sleep analysis software. The software automatically analyzes key sleep indicators, including sleep stages, sleep apnea events, arousals and periodic limb movements during sleep. By automating parts of the traditionally labor-intensive scoring and interpretation process, the platform is designed to help medical professionals review sleep studies more efficiently. It also incorporates edge-computing technology to process large volumes of physiological data in real time and support integration with healthcare institutions' centralized management systems.

The Wireless PSG platform builds on HoneyNaps' accumulated research and development in sleep sensing and AI analysis. The company has developed technologies including SOMNUM Scanning, a contactless sleep-sensing pad; single-channel EEG technology; AI-based sleep diagnostic software; and a digital therapeutic for insomnia. By integrating these technologies into a patch-based wireless medical device, HoneyNaps aims to establish a platform that can expand beyond hospital-based sleep studies into home sleep testing, remote monitoring and broader digital healthcare services.

"By bringing patch-based wireless skin sensors and AI-powered analysis together in a single platform, our Wireless PSG system improves both patient convenience and diagnostic efficiency for medical professionals, while laying the foundation for HoneyNaps to expand its presence in the global sleep diagnostics market," said Sean Ha (Taekyoung Ha), President of HoneyNaps USA.

Withings Introduces StethO Sense, Bringing Heart and Lung Sound Analysis to BeamO
Image File
Original HTML

StethO Sense, a new Withings+ service powered by eMurmur® and StethoMe, brings on-demand AI-powered heart sound analysis and breathing pattern insights to BeamO users, allowing families to track changes in heart sounds and breathing patterns early from home.

ISSY-LES-MOULINEAUX, France, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Withings today announced StethO Sense, a new service within Withings+, the premium membership tier of the Withings app, that gives parents a closer listen to what their child's bodies are already saying. It brings on-demand AI-powered analysis of heart and lung recordings to BeamO, the company's compact, FDA-cleared health device that combines a clinical-grade thermometer, 1-lead ECG, and digital stethoscope in one tool.

Powered by eMurmur Heart AI for abnormal murmur detection, and StethoMe for breathing sound insights, StethO Sense provides BeamO users with the ability to analyze heart and lung recordings from the comfort of the home. Withings+ members can access unlimited analyses at home, with results available in seconds. StethO Sense results are not a diagnosis and are intended to be shared with a healthcare professional.1

"Hearts don't always tell us when something is wrong. A heart murmur, an unusual sound caused by blood flowing through the heart, can go unnoticed for years. StethO Sense lets families record heart sounds at home, in seconds, as often as they want, and build a record they can bring to their doctor. It doesn't replace a visit; rather, StethO Sense gives you additional health data to bring to one," said Livia Robic, Product Manager, BeamO.

How StethO Sense Works

From the StethO Sense section of the Withings+ app, users can select a heart or lung recording and instantly start the analysis. Heart recordings are taken at one of four standard positions, while lung recordings are taken at up to eight positions at 12 years of age and above, and six positions for those below 12 years of age. BeamO guides users through the process with an anatomical diagram. Results are delivered within seconds in the Withings app.1,1b

StethO Sense complements the Withings+ Cardio Check-Up service, which provides a cardiologist review of a user's ECG within 24 hours, up to four times a year. The two services are complementary: Cardio Check-Up provides a cardiologist's review of an ECG, while StethO Sense provides unlimited AI-assisted analysis of heart and lung recordings that users can share with a healthcare professional.1

Designed for Families and Everyday Health Monitoring

StethO Sense is designed to provide peace of mind to people who want additional insight into the health signals they can capture at home, including:

For children & families:

- Identify changes in breathing sounds: StethoMe's Breathing Index gives a score, 0–100, based on their breathing sounds, breathing quality, breathing rate, plus respiratory rhythm, and heart rate, helping families notice changes over time. It is designed to give insight into day-to-day breathing patterns and if necessary to be shared directly with a healthcare professional, with a report exportable from the Withings+ app.

- Track heart murmurs: StethO Sense lets parents record their child's heart sounds at home, tracking heart murmurs and changes in heart sounds. It is designed to be shared directly with a healthcare professional and a report is exportable from the Withings+ app.

- Spot early symptoms before an urgent care visit: StethO Sense also tracks changes in heart which is particularly important during winter months.

Adults monitoring their heart health:

- Track heart murmurs: Heart murmurs are relatively common, affecting nearly one in four adults.6 While many are harmless, murmurs can sometimes be an early sign of valvular heart disease, a condition that often develops silently and is easy to miss without a regular check. A 2024 study of over 4,200 older adults found that more than a quarter had valvular heart disease that had never been diagnosed.7 StethO Sense gives users a way to record and track heart sounds over time, rather than only at an annual check-up, and to share those recordings with a healthcare professional.

- Athletes: StethO Sense is valuable for athletes as heart murmur checks are increasingly part of routine sports physicals, particularly in the US, where screening for conditions like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM),8 a leading cause of sudden cardiac events in young athletes, is a growing focus.

eMurmur: Heart Sound Analysis

StethO Sense's heart sounds analysis is provided by eMurmur2, a medical AI company that built an open intelligence layer to power auscultation hardware and software. eMurmur Heart AI analyzes BeamO heart sound recordings in seconds, and distinguishes between the absence of a murmur, innocent murmurs and abnormal murmurs. Across multiple blinded prospective clinical studies, eMurmur Heart AI demonstrated approximately 90% sensitivity and specificity for pathologic murmur detection.3 It also provides the heart rate and a confidence score for its findings. eMurmur Heart AI is FDA-cleared for use on both children and adults.4

StethoMe: Breathing Sound Insights

StethO Sense also brings a new Breathing Index from StethoMe,5a an AI company specializing in pulmonary sound analysis. The Breathing Index provides a score 0–100 based on breathing sounds and quality of breathing. It is designed to help people notice changes in their breathing patterns over time, with a guided protocol that adapts to age (six recording points for children, eight for adults). In the US, StethoMe's Breathing Index is offered as a general wellness feature.5b

Extending StethO Sense to Healthcare Professionals

StethO Sense also extends to BeamO PrO, the professional version of the device used by clinicians and care teams. With eMurmur's FDA-cleared Heart AI, healthcare professionals can perform heart sound assessments efficiently across a range of care settings, including nursing homes. AI-assisted auscultation has also been shown to reduce inappropriate cardiology referrals by up to 50–75%,3 helping care teams prioritize the patients who need further investigation. The technology is designed to support clinical workflows by providing additional information that can be considered alongside a healthcare professional's assessment.

Five-year strategic agreement establishes a standardized orchestration and operations platform across Sharon AI's expanding AI Factory environments

NEW YORK, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SharonAI Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: SHAZ) ("Sharon AI" or the "Company"), a leading Australian Neocloud delivering trusted AI infrastructure, today announced a five-year strategic agreement with Rafay Systems, a leading platform provider for modern infrastructure and AI workloads.

Under the agreement, Sharon AI will use the Rafay platform as a centralized orchestration and operations layer across its AI Factory environments. The platform standardizes how Sharon AI's accelerated computing infrastructure is provisioned, governed, monitored and made available to customers across different locations, tenants and workloads.

The agreement formalizes Sharon AI's use of Rafay across its expanding AI infrastructure platform, moving from individual cluster deployments to a consistent operating framework designed to support the Company's growth across Asia-Pacific and globally.

The Rafay platform provides the automation, observability, governance and secure, multi-tenancy capabilities required to operate advanced AI infrastructure at scale. It is designed to help Sharon AI manage compute capacity efficiently, respond to different customer workload requirements and deliver secure, reliable access to the infrastructure customers need to build, train and run AI.

"Sharon AI is delivering the trusted infrastructure and operational capabilities required to help customers realize measurable value," said James Manning, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sharon AI. "Our agreement with Rafay gives us a standardized platform for orchestrating and managing AI infrastructure across our expanding footprint. This should enable us to manage our compute capacity more efficiently, accelerate service delivery and provide customers with a consistent and secure experience as we scale."

The Rafay platform acts as a centralized control plane across Sharon AI's AI Factory environments, providing operational guardrails above the underlying physical infrastructure. Its capabilities include infrastructure lifecycle management, workload orchestration, governance, monitoring and support for Kubernetes and virtual machine environments through a unified platform.

This operating layer abstracts the complexity of procuring, deploying and managing advanced AI infrastructure. It is intended to enable Sharon AI to provide customers with access to the AI capabilities they require without those customers needing to own or operate the underlying physical infrastructure.

The architecture established through the agreement is designed to support the orchestration of up to 150,000 GPUs over the five-year term, illustrating that Sharon AI intends to build platform components for larger-scale GPU deployments over time.

"Operating AI infrastructure at scale requires more than access to GPU capacity," said Haseeb Budhani, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Rafay Systems. "Providers also need the orchestration, automation and governance capabilities required to transform that infrastructure into secure, reliable and production-ready AI services. Sharon AI is building a highly scalable AI infrastructure platform for customers across Asia-Pacific and beyond, and we are proud to provide an operational foundation that can support its continued growth."

The agreement is also expected to support the development of Sharon AI's internal capabilities and expertise around the Rafay platform, establishing consistent operating practices across its AI infrastructure deployments.

The collaboration is expected to strengthen Sharon AI's ability to automate service delivery, improve infrastructure utilization and reliability, maintain consistent governance and accelerate access to advanced AI capabilities for customers.

ECOVACS Launches WINBOT W2S PRO OMNI, the Latest Addition to the World's #1 Robotic Window Cleaner Line

The latest WINBOT combines upgraded edge-to-edge scrubbing, cordless cleaning, intelligent navigation and comprehensive safety for a more effortless way to keep windows clean

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ECOVACS Robotics today launched the WINBOT W2S PRO OMNI robotic window cleaner and WINBOT W2S PRO, the latest additions to the WINBOT family, following their global debut at IFA 2026 in Berlin. Showcasing ECOVACS' latest advancements in robotic window cleaning, the new WINBOT models bring the company's "Created for Ease" philosophy to a new generation of smarter, more effortless window cleaning. The WINBOT W2S PRO OMNI combines precise edge-to-edge scrubbing, cordless cleaning, intelligent navigation and comprehensive safety features to transform a once-tiring chore into a more hands-free, worry-free experience.

Window cleaning can be a time-consuming and potentially hazardous household task, particularly for large, hard-to-reach and exterior windows. The WINBOT W2S PRO OMNI is designed to take the work out of the chore, delivering powerful cleaning across glass surfaces while helping users clean more windows with fewer interruptions.

Precision at Every Corner, High Performance from Edge to Edge

The WINBOT W2S PRO OMNI features upgraded TruEdge 2.0 Technology, combining precise frame sensing with an optimized four-corner scrubbing system for more complete edge-to-edge cleaning coverage. Four active corner scrubbers use high-density felt bristles to target dirt along window borders and corners, while continuous frame detection helps the WINBOT maintain stable contact with window frames and edges. Together, the four-way scrubbing system delivers up to a 46% increase in cleaning efficiency compared with the previous generation, covering up to 1 square meter in 90 seconds.

The WINBOT can dynamically adjust its path and brush position as it encounters different window structures, helping minimize jamming and maintain consistent cleaning coverage without manual intervention. For tougher outdoor dirt such as rain stains, dust accumulation and bird droppings, its pressurized dual-side spray technology uses three precision spray nozzles on each side. The upgraded triple-nozzle design expands spray coverage to 90%, helping reduce dead spots while creating a fine, wind-resistant water film that loosens dirt before wiping. Combined with an ultra-fine microfiber wiping pad, the system helps lift away dust, pollen, water spots, fingerprints, smudges and pet marks for a streak-free finish.

For larger cleaning jobs, its 4.1 fl oz water reservoir provides up to 807 sq. ft. of coverage per fill, allowing users to clean more windows without repeatedly stopping to refill.

Multi-Purpose OMNI Station Redefines Convenience

The OMNI Station combines control, charging, power and storage in one portable base, making the WINBOT easy to set up, operate and transport. Its integrated 5200mAh battery provides up to 110 minutes of cordless cleaning, allowing users to clean in locations where power outlets may be difficult to access, such as balconies and bathrooms. The station can also connect directly to AC power for longer cleaning sessions.

A high-strength 2-in-1 compound cable combines power delivery and safety tethering in a single line and automatically retracts into the OMNI Station after cleaning, helping keep the setup organized and tangle-free. When the job is done, the WINBOT and its accessories can be stored inside the OMNI Station, while its soft rubber handle makes the station easy to carry.

Intelligently Adapts to Every Scenario

Powered by WIN-SLAM 4.0 Technology, the WINBOT W2S PRO OMNI can adapt its path planning across a wide range of window layouts, including expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, frameless partitions and vanity mirrors. Its multi-sensor detection system continuously monitors window frames and obstacles, allowing the WINBOT to calculate a bypass strategy when it encounters obstacles such as window handles or locks and continue cleaning.

Through the ECOVACS mobile app, voice control or shortcut buttons on the OMNI Station, users can choose from eight cleaning modes to suit different cleaning needs and scenarios. At just 66dB, the WINBOT W2S PRO OMNI is the quietest model in the WINBOT family to date. Its four-layer noise reduction system combines Dual-Wing Air Ducts, vibration control, acoustic padding and sound insulation to help deliver quieter operation.

Designed for Safety and Peace of Mind

The WINBOT W2S PRO OMNI features a 12-tier protection system combining hardware and software safeguards for a secure and reliable cleaning experience. Key protections include 10,000Pa suction power, automatic air pressure compensation, a floating wiping pad plate, anti-drop protection and power-off protection. The automatic air pressure compensation system detects air leaks in as little as 0.007 seconds and compensates to help maintain consistent suction.

If power is interrupted or the battery level becomes low, power-off protection keeps the WINBOT attached to the window for more than 30 minutes, providing additional time for users to respond.

For additional peace of mind, users can also enjoy insurance protection in the unlikely event of damage caused by a loss of suction.

Pricing and Availability

The ECOVACS WINBOT W2S PRO OMNI is now available at a limited-time launch price of $499.99, a $100 discount off its $599.99 MSRP, through September 14, 2026. The WINBOT W2S PRO is available at a limited-time launch price of $339.99, a $60 discount off its $399.99 MSRP, through September 7, 2026. Both are available through the official ECOVACS store on Amazon.

Hyperscale Data Holds Approximately $53 Million in Cash, Restricted Cash and Bitcoin, Representing Nearly 200% of Recent Market Capitalization
Image File
Original HTML

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), an artificial intelligence ("AI") data center company anchored by Bitcoin ("Hyperscale Data" or the "Company"), today announced that, as of September 3, 2026, it held approximately $36 million in cash and restricted cash and approximately 215 Bitcoin.

As of September 3, 2026, the Company's combined cash, restricted cash and Bitcoin holdings totaled approximately $53 million, based on a Bitcoin price of approximately $81,500, representing nearly 200% of the Company's equity market capitalization as of that date.

Milton "Todd" Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data, stated, "Hyperscale Data currently holds approximately $36 million in cash and restricted cash and approximately 215 Bitcoin, with an estimated market value of approximately $18 million. Together, these assets total approximately $53 million, equal to nearly twice the Company's recent equity market capitalization.

"We sold a portion of our Bitcoin and deployed the proceeds to support the continued buildout of our Michigan AI data center as we prepare to perform under our master services agreement (the 'MSA') with a California-based neocloud provider. The MSA provides for the deployment of 20 megawatts, has an initial term of 10 years and includes two five-year extension options that may be exercised by the customer. If the customer exercises both extension options, the MSA is expected to generate in excess of $1.2 billion in revenue over the maximum 20-year term.

"This was a deliberate capital-allocation decision. We believe investing in the infrastructure necessary to perform under the MSA has the potential to create substantially greater long-term value for the Company and our stockholders. Even after deploying capital toward the Michigan facility, the value of our cash, restricted cash and remaining Bitcoin substantially exceeds our recent equity market capitalization. Although this comparison does not reflect our liabilities or the restrictions applicable to certain cash balances, we believe it provides meaningful context regarding the Company's current market valuation and underlying assets. In my view, the market is not presently reflecting the underlying value of the Company."

The Company notes that the market value of Bitcoin and the market capitalization of Hyperscale Data fluctuate continuously. Restricted cash is subject to applicable restrictions on its use. The comparison in this release is intended to highlight the relationship between these specific assets and the Company's recent equity market capitalization and should not be interpreted as a calculation of net cash, enterprise value, liquidation value or amounts available for distribution to stockholders.

For more information on Hyperscale Data and its subsidiaries, Hyperscale Data recommends that stockholders, investors and any other interested parties read Hyperscale Data's public filings and press releases available under the Investor Relations section at hyperscaledata.com or available at www.sec.gov.

About Hyperscale Data, Inc.

Through its wholly owned subsidiary Sentinum, Inc., Hyperscale Data owns and operates a data center that offers colocation and hosting services for the emerging AI ecosystems and other industries. Hyperscale Data's other wholly owned subsidiary, Ault Capital Group, Inc. ("ACG"), is a hybrid private equity firm and operating company that acquires, finances, builds and actively manages businesses across financial services, digital assets, industrial services, hospitality, defense technologies and other sectors.

Hyperscale Data currently expects the divestiture of ACG (the "Divestiture") to occur in 2027. Upon the occurrence of the Divestiture, the Company would be an owner and operator of data centers to support high-performance computing services, as well as a holder of the digital assets. Until the Divestiture occurs, the Company will continue to provide, through ACG and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and strategic investments, mission-critical products that support a diverse range of industries, including an AI software platform, equipment rental services, defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive and hotel operations. In addition, ACG is actively engaged in private credit and structured finance through Ault Lending, LLC, a licensed lending subsidiary. Hyperscale Data's headquarters are located at 11411 Southern Highlands Parkway, Suite 190, Las Vegas, NV 89141.

On December 23, 2024, the Company issued one million (1,000,000) shares of a newly designated Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "Series F Preferred Stock") to all common stockholders and holders of the Series C Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis. The Divestiture will occur through the voluntary exchange of the Series F Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of ACG (collectively, the "ACG Shares"). The Company reminds its stockholders that only those holders of the Series F Preferred Stock who agree to surrender such shares, and do not properly withdraw such surrender, in the exchange offer through which the Divestiture will occur, will be entitled to receive the ACG Shares and consequently be shareholders of ACG upon the occurrence of the Divestiture.
