Health Catalyst Releases Data and Analytics Solution Designed for Community, Regional, and Specialty Health Systems: Health Catalyst Ignite Spark™

PR Newswire


SALT LAKE CITY
, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Health Catalyst, Inc. (“Health Catalyst,” Nasdaq: HCAT), a leading provider of data and analytics technology and services to healthcare organizations, today announced the launch of Health Catalyst Ignite Spark™, a tailored data and analytics solution built for community health systems, regional hospitals, and multi-site practices.

Smaller community health systems across the U.S. are navigating shrinking margins, policy uncertainty, and rising pressure to deliver more with less. Ignite Spark is our answer—a nimble, flexible, and accessible data and analytics solution purpose-built to meet this moment.

Ignite Spark is designed to be foundational, to seamlessly complement existing systems, and to provide enterprise-grade analytics for teams with lean resources.

  • Delivers trusted insights from your existing data without added complexity or disruption, empowering teams to act with confidence.
  • Streamlines access to critical insights with intuitive self-service tools, smart data pathways, and fewer vendor handoffs—reducing cost and operational friction.
  • Optimizes decision-making by leveraging AI-driven insights, delivering smarter, faster, and more informed choices for healthcare teams.
  • Adapts to your environment with a purpose-built app layer, offering the flexibility to evolve with your strategy, scale across sites, and meet changing organizational needs.

“Early last year, we launched Health Catalyst Ignite™ with the commitment to meet health systems where they are—and the development of Ignite Spark affirms our dedication to that,” said Dan Burton, CEO of Health Catalyst. “Over the past year, we have engaged in meaningful discussions with CIOs, CFOs, and senior clinical leaders at regional health systems. A recurring theme in these conversations has been the challenge of managing multiple vendors, navigating overwhelming volumes of data, and operating with limited time, budget, and personnel to extract meaningful insights. Recognizing this pervasive, pressing need, we developed a tailored solution for healthcare teams with ambitious goals but lean resources.”

Ignite Spark ingests and normalizes data from multiple sources, centralizes governance, and empowers frontline teams with self-service access to actionable insights—all while reducing IT burden and unnecessary cost.

Ignite Spark breaks down the cost, access, and expertise barrier; through this streamlined solution, regional hospital networks, primary care networks, urgent care centers, and specialty practices can drive data-informed clinical, revenue performance, and cost control improvement.

“For too long, community hospitals have been underserved by traditional data platforms—Ignite Spark was built to change that,” said Dave Ross, Chief Technology and Product Officer at Health Catalyst. “It brings the full power of enterprise analytics—right-sized, simplified, and accessible—to organizations that have been asked to do more with less without the tools to do it.”

Innovative Eyewear enters EU market, receives EU Certification for Lucyd Armor Safety Glasses

PR Newswire


MIAMI
, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Innovative Eyewear, Inc. (NASDAQ: LUCY | LUCYW), the developer of smart eyewear under the Lucyd®, Nautica®, Eddie Bauer® and Reebok® brands, today announces that its Lucyd Armor™ smart safety glasses have been certified to meet European Union EN 166:2002 safety standards for workplace use.

Lucyd Armor has been a vital addition to the lineup of smart eyewear products produced by the Company, and since launching in Q4 2024 has quickly grown to become the Company’s fastest selling unit. The addition of the EU certification opens important European markets for the Lucyd Armor product, in addition to the US, Canadian and UK certifications which the Company has received. Lucyd Armor is unique on the market as the first smart safety glass with photochromic lenses, a full suite of smart features including a Walkie function, high-fidelity audio and Rx-adaptable lenses.

The safety eyewear market in Europe was $1.3b in 2024 and expected to reach a projected revenue of US$ 1.6b by 2030 with a compound annual growth rate of 3.5% from 2025 to 2030.1 Based on the feedback we received from potential customers at Vision Expo and the National Hardware Show, the Company is in discussions with a notable eyewear distributor to offer Lucyd Armor in Europe, and distributors for the Company’s other frames in Asia and LATAM.

The Company believes international expansion centered on the Armor and pending Reebok Powered by Lucyd collection will be foundational to its growth efforts in 2025, particularly in the wake of current US tariff situation. Goods shipped from the Company’s manufacturing facilities in China directly to distributors, retailers and retail customers outside the US are not subject to US tariffs, and the Company believes it will have the opportunity to create a stronger footprint as there is less competition in markets outside the US, where smart eyewear is newer to market and tends to be available from fewer quality providers.

The Company plans to introduce additional variants of Lucyd Armor later this year, including sunglass and full-range prescription versions, to complement the original photochromic lens version.

Lucyd Armor™ Highlights:

  • The first smart safety glass for all-day wear providing eye protection and communication in one convenient device.
  • Lightweight and flexible TR90 body for rugged durability.
  • Open-ear audio technology with impressive sound for high-octane environments.
  • Seamless voice assistant integration, including ChatGPT, empowering users with hands-free AI access.
  • Streamlined touch controls for quick and easy call and music management.
  • Built-in Walkie features for global VOIP conferencing with teammates.

Lucyd Armor aims to transform how teams communicate in any environment, from factories to construction sites and everything in between.

“Lucyd Armor™ has quickly grown to become our bestselling product, thanks to the unique mix of functionality, style and affordability it brings to the safety market. Unlike many of our other products which may be perceived as a “nice-to-have” upgrade, Lucyd Armor is unique among smart eyewear in that we believe it is a new “need-to-have” tool for working professionals worldwide, who need eye protection as well as handsfree comms and AI access. We look forward to working with hardware distributors and retailers to bring this new technology to hardworking folks across America, Europe and beyond,” said Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear.

Availability

Lucyd Armor is available now on Lucyd.co in a variety of standard lenses and in prescriptions ranging from SPH -3 to +8. The product is also available on Amazon.

About Innovative Eyewear, Inc.

Innovative Eyewear is a developer of cutting-edge ChatGPT enabled smart eyewear, under the Lucyd®, Nautica®, Eddie Bauer® and Reebok® brands. True to our mission to Upgrade Your Eyewear®, our Bluetooth audio glasses allow users to stay safely and ergonomically connected to their digital lives and are offered in hundreds of frame and lens combinations to meet the needs of the optical market.

Trio acquires producing cash flow positive oil and gas assets in prolific heavy oil region of Saskatchewan Canada

Bakersfield, CA, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trio Petroleum Corp (NYSE American: TPET) (“Trio” or the “Company”), a California-based oil and gas company, today is pleased to announce that it has closed on certain petroleum and natural gas properties held by Novacor Exploration Ltd. (“Novacor”). More specifically, TPET closed on Novacor’s TWP48 Assets which is expected to be shortly followed by the closing on Novacor’s TWP47 assets. These assets are in the prolific Lloydminster, Saskatchewan heavy oil region (the “Acquisition”). This acquisition could strategically position the Company to expand its operations into one of North America’s most promising heavy oil basins, with upside potential for long term production and reserve growth. Since the Novacor assets are in the heavy oil area, they offer economic development and low operational costs. Market accessibility combined with a favorable regulatory process makes this area very attractive for continued and future development within these lands.

As reported by the Company’s press release on December 19, 2024, the Novacor assets are located at the South-West quarter of Section 19, Township 47, Range 26W3M and the Northeast Section 3, Township 48, Range 24W3M, both in the Lloydminster, Saskatchewan area. There are currently seven producing wells located on the two properties. Production from the wells in Section 19 is subject to Freehold Royalties of 13.5% and a GORR of 2%, and production from the wells in Section 3 is subject to Freehold Royalties of 15%. The wells produce heavy crude oil from the McLaren/Sparky and Lloydminster formation(s). Novacor is the operator of these cash flow positive wells. Current production is approximately 70 barrels per day with potential for 4 additional re-entry wells and two fully equipped locations to be reactivated each capable of an additional 70 barrels in total per day. All the foregoing information was derived from reports provided to the Company by Novacor.

Additionally, a Reserve Report was prepared in August 2024 by Petrotech and Associates detailing 91.5MBBL for total proved and probable oil of those wells currently being produced. Novacor has identified further potential upside in the Sparky GP thru some multi-lateral drill opportunities.

Important in this acquisition is Novacor’s ability to address recent fluctuations in global oil prices and their limited impact on the company’s operations. Novacor will continue as operator of the assets Trio is acquiring. While market volatility is inherent in the energy sector, Novacor’s strategic focus on operational efficiency and low lift costs provides a significant buffer against downward price pressures.

Novacor’s current lift cost stands at a competitive CDN $10.00 per barrel. This low operational expenditure will help ensure Trio maintains strong profitability even in a lower oil price environment. Their commitment to cost management and efficient production techniques will allow the Company to navigate market fluctuations with greater resilience compared to companies with higher operating costs.

Commented Robin Ross, Chief Executive Officer of Trio, “Novacor has always prioritized operational excellence and fiscal responsibility as their low lift costs are a testament to this commitment and will provide us with a significant advantage in the current market. While we are mindful of global economic trends and their potential influence on commodity prices, our fundamental strength moving forward will be in our ability to produce oil economically.

 As i mentioned previously, we are excited to acquire an initial footprint in this very lucrative oil and gas area of Canada and home to some of the largest players in the industry such as Cenovus Energy, Canadian Natural Resources, Baytex Energy, Rife Resources and many others who have made Heavy Oil a staple of their operation, and where numerous opportunities to acquire additional highly economic fields exist. Trio’s relationship with Novacor is very important, because Novacor has a long history of oil and gas development in the area. Trio’s plan is to aggressively grow its footprint in the area utilizing Novacor as an operator of the assets. We are looking forward to a long and prosperous relationship with Novacor. We will continue to seek opportunities for strategic growth and optimization with Novacor’s operational efficiencies and are confident to deliver consistent value to our shareholders through a disciplined approach to operations and cost management.”

Mr. Ross continued, “Our focus remains on acquiring projects that generate immediate cash flow or offer transformative growth potential with strategic investment. We believe that this approach aligns with our long-term vision of creating exponential value while managing risk and resources effectively.” 

Terms of the Acquisition

The stated purchase price of the Acquisition is US$650,000 in cash paid in two tranches, and 526,536 in shares of common stock of Trio, which we agree to use our commercially reasonable efforts to register for resale in a registration statement filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company paid Novacor a good faith deposit of $65,000, which is being applied to the cash portion of the purchase price on the initial closing.

KENVUE SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Kaskela Law LLC Announces Investigation of Kenvue Inc. (NYSE: KVUE) and Encourages Long-Term KVUE Investors to Contact the Firm

PHILADELPHIA, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kaskela Law LLC announces that it is investigating Kenvue Inc. (NYSE: KVUE) on behalf of the company’s long-term investors.


Click here for additional information:



https://kaskelalaw.com/case/kenvue/

Recently a securities fraud complaint was filed against Kenvue on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired shares of the company’s stock between May 8, 2023 and September 12, 2023.

According to the complaint, in connection with the company’s May 8, 2023 initial public offering (“IPO”) of common stock to investors, Kenvue and certain of the company’s senior executive officers (i) made misleading statements and (ii) failed to disclose the material risks that Kenvue was facing with respect to pending regulatory proceedings before the FDA and its advisory panel to reconsider the effectiveness of orally administered phenylephrine (“oral PE”).

As further detailed in the complaint, in September 2023, the Nonprescription Drugs Advisory Committee (“NDAC”) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) met to provide its insight and opinions as to the issue of whether oral PE is efficacious as a nasal decongestant, and whether oral PE should be reclassified as not Generally Recognized as Safe and Effective (“GRASE”) due to lack of efficacy. At the conclusion of the meeting, the voting members of the NDAC panel voted unanimously that the current scientific data does not support the conclusion that oral PE is effective as a nasal decongestant, with one member of the panel stating that there was “compelling, convincing evidence that oral phenylephrine is ineffective at relieving symptoms of nasal congestion.” Following the report that the NDAC had unanimously voted that oral PE was not effective, Kenvue’s share price fell by $1.01 per share, or over 4.5% in value.

The investigation seeks to determine whether the members of Kenvue’s board of directors violated the securities laws and/or breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the above alleged misconduct.


Kenvue shareholders who purchased or acquired their KVUE shares



prior to September 12, 2023



are encouraged to contact Kaskela Law LLC (D. Seamus Kaskela, Esq. or Adrienne Bell, Esq.) at (484) 229 – 0750 for additional information about this investigation and their legal rights and options.

PainReform Expands into Home Energy Management Sector, Leveraging DeepSolar’s AI-Driven Platform to Address the Growing Solar Optimization Market

TEL AVIV, Israel, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PainReform Ltd. (Nasdaq: PRFX), a clinical-stage specialty pharmaceutical company and developer of AI-powered energy optimization technologies, today announced its official expansion into the rapidly growing Smart Energy Management (SEM) sector. This move follows the successful acquisition of DeepSolar, a cutting-edge provider of AI-driven software solutions designed to optimize solar energy usage in residential and utility-scale solar power plants.

This strategic expansion marks an important milestone in PainReform’s long-term diversification strategy, aimed at tapping into high-growth, tech-enabled markets. With global solar capacity accelerating amid increasing demand for decentralized, sustainable energy solutions, the ability to measure, analyze, and improve solar energy yield is more critical than ever. Optimization software has emerged as a foundational tool in this transition—driving both economic and environmental value for consumers and enterprises alike.

DeepSolar’s product, MyDeepSolar, is an application that leverages machine learning and predictive analytics to provide real-time monitoring, yield forecasting, and performance optimization for solar-enabled homes.

The app helps maximize the return on solar investments and optimize energy efficiency, by providing homeowners with comprehensive insights into their solar system’s performance. It also provides full visibility of the system’s status and losses, allowing users to compare actual energy production with the system’s potential.

“Our expansion into Smart Energy Management not only aligns with global energy trends but also capitalizes on a technology platform with enormous commercial scalability,” said Ehud Geller, Chairman and interim CEO of PainReform. “We believe DeepSolar has the potential to play a transformative role in a market where intelligent optimization is the key to unlocking the full value of solar energy. The future of energy is decentralized, intelligent, and consumer-empowered—and we intend to be at the forefront of that evolution.”

PainReform’s entry into the SEM market comes amid a flurry of M&A activity and institutional investments in solar and smart energy technologies. Governments worldwide are also ramping up support for residential optimization through tax credits, net metering incentives, and smart grid infrastructure.

By entering a sector with strong macro tailwinds, PainReform is expanding its innovation footprint beyond its pharmaceutical roots, leveraging its AI expertise to address new verticals where data-centric platforms drive recurring revenue and operational scalability.

About PainReform

PainReform Ltd. (Nasdaq: PRFX) is a clinical-stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the reformulation of established therapeutics, and a developer of AI-driven energy optimization technologies through its DeepSolar platform. The Company’s pharmaceutical programs leverage a proprietary extended-release drug-delivery system intended to provide prolonged post-surgical pain relief while minimizing the need for repeated dosing and reducing reliance on opioids. Through DeepSolar, PainReform also delivers advanced software solutions that enable both consumers and enterprises to monitor, forecast, and optimize energy consumption—particularly in solar-integrated environments. This dual business model reflects PainReform’s strategic commitment to applying precision technology across high-impact sectors including healthcare and sustainable energy.

SIMPPLE Ltd. Launches New Multi-Functional Robot “Orion”, as part of its expansion line-up of SIMPPLE Robotics, spearheading change within integrated facility operations

Singapore, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SIMPPLE Ltd. (NASDAQ: SPPL) (“SIMPPLE” or “the Company”), a leading technology provider and innovator in the facilities management (FM) sector, today announced the launch of its latest innovation in robotics – brand-named Orion, a multi-functional robot equipped with real-time security surveillance, on-demand digital concierge support, and intelligent spot cleaning and sweeping capabilities. SIMPPLE’s Orion robot made its official debut at Kings Club, Melbourne. The private launch event, which takes place today and tomorrow, was jointly facilitated by Melbourne-based property management firm Above OCM and technology integrator Australian Robot Technology. Clients and partners of Above OCM and Australian Robot Technology were invited to witness the launch of SIMPPLE’s multi-functional robots (Gemini and Orion) in Australia.

“With increasing pressure for buildings to become safer, smarter, and more environmentally friendly, the development and launch of Orion could not be more timely. Today’s announcement underscores our commitment to innovation in the field of service robotics, delivering fit-for-purpose robotic solutions that enhance operational efficiency and cover multi-faceted integrated capabilities,” said SIMPPLE chief executive officer Norman Schroeder. “Like Gemini, Orion is the next evolution in autonomous building operations and fits well into the range of SIMPPLE Robotics line-up.”

The new Orion robot combines intelligence and safety, equipped with advanced dual compute modules housed within its modular head and robot body, delivering powerful Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) performance across both security surveillance and cleaning functions. It can also operate independently or integrate seamlessly with existing CCTV systems, allowing facilities to extend their surveillance coverage while reducing operational costs. Through its 32-beam 3D LiDAR and precision navigation, Orion can operate effectively in high-density areas while performing a variety of functions to support building service operators.

“After extensive global research, including significant time spent in Singapore studying SIMPPLE’s advanced technological capabilities, we together with Australian Robot Technology are proud to be part of the launch of Gemini and Orion robots in Australia,” said Simon Saint-John, Director of Above OCM. “Being able to integrate different facility functions and technology assets on a single platform like SIMPPLE is amazing. We see tremendous benefits deploying such robotic solutions in residential settings, to complement our staff and promote a cleaner and more secure environment for us all in Melbourne.”

According to Norman, “Being supported by Above OCM and Australian Robot Technology to launch our revolutionary multi-functional robots in Australia is definitely a meaningful milestone for us to showcase our innovative technologies in Australia and represents an exciting step in our international expansion with forward-thinking industry stakeholders to help them achieve their goals through A.I. robotics and automation.”

Today’s announcement follows the Company’s release on October 16, 2024, detailing the launch and sale of 3-in-1 multifunctional Gemini robots for Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand markets aggregating $1.0 million.

Conduit Pharmaceuticals Announces up to $1,000,000 Share Repurchase Program

NAPLES, Fla. and CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Conduit Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: CDT) (“Conduit” or the “Company”) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to $1,000,000 of its outstanding common stock. The Directors believe that the market price of its common stock trades at prices that do not reflect their underlying value.

Under the program, Conduit may repurchase shares from time to time through open market transactions or other methods in compliance with SEC Rule 10b-18. Purchases will be executed by The Benchmark Company, the Company’s appointed broker, and will be subject to market conditions, corporate liquidity requirements, regulatory considerations, and other factors.

The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire a particular amount of common stock and the Company will use its discretion to repurchase shares. The program has no fixed expiration date and may be adjusted or terminated at any time by the Company.

“Given the current market value of our common stock we believe it is prudent to have the option to re-purchase our shares using our existing cash reserves,” said Dr. David Tapolczay, Chief Executive Officer of Conduit. “With multiple milestones anticipated across our pipeline this year, including preclinical data readouts and Phase II trial initiation for AZD1656, we believe in a balanced approach to capital allocation.”

About Conduit Pharmaceuticals

Conduit is a multi-asset clinical stage, life science company delivering an efficient model for compound development. Conduit both acquires and funds the development of Phase 2-ready assets, building an integrated and advanced platform-driven approach powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and cybernetics, and seeking an exit through third-party license deals following successful clinical trials. Led by a highly experienced team of pharmaceutical executives including Dr. David Tapolczay and Dr. Freda Lewis-Hall, this novel approach is a departure from the traditional pharma/biotech business model of taking assets through regulatory approval.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release, including statements regarding Conduit’s future results of operations and financial position, Conduit’s business strategy, prospective product candidates, product approvals, research and development costs, timing and likelihood of success, plans and objectives of management for future operations, future results of current and anticipated studies and business endeavors with third parties, and future results of current and anticipated product candidates, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to; the inability to maintain the listing of Conduit’s securities on Nasdaq; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination completed in September 2023, which may be affected by, among other things, competition; the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth economically and hire and retain key employees; the risks that Conduit’s product candidates in development fail clinical trials or are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or other applicable authorities on a timely basis or at all; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that Conduit may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and other risks and uncertainties to be identified in the proxy statement/prospectus (as amended and supplemented) relating to the business combination completed in September 2023, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in other filings made by Conduit with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, Conduit operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond Conduit’s control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and except as required by law, Conduit assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Conduit gives no assurance that it will achieve its expectations.
