Pomdoctor Targets Predictive Healthcare With AI and Wearables

Guangzhou – October 13, 2026 -- Nasdaq-listed Pomdoctor Limited (POM) said it will integrate AI, wearable devices, remote patient monitoring (RPM) and real-world healthcare data with its existing physician resources, aiming to move care from "diagnose and treat" to "predict, alert and intervene."

Pomdoctor bets on chronic disease management as the first use case

The company said continuous monitoring and timely intervention are particularly relevant to chronic disease management. Wearables and RPM can collect health indicators outside clinical settings, while longitudinal and real-world data give a broader view of changes in an individual's health status. AI would analyze these datasets, flag potential risk signals and support earlier healthcare decisions.

Leadde AI Cuts Education Video Production Time by Up to 80%

Singapore – October 12, 2026 -- Leadde AI has introduced an education workflow that converts course materials into learning videos in minutes, and selected education teams report video-production time reductions of up to 80 percent.

Workflow targets the scripting, recording and localization bottleneck

Education institutions hold extensive teaching materials but lack capacity for scripting, recording, editing, subtitling and localization, according to the company. The constraint is most acute in hybrid programs and multilingual classrooms, where content must stay accurate, consistent and easy to update.

The workflow runs on Leadde's AI Video Agent for education. It analyzes source materials, identifies key messages, and generates scripts, narrated scenes, subtitles and editable video drafts.
