SAN CARLOS, Calif., Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — XP Health, a company dedicated to democratizing vision care with a digital-first vision benefits platform, announced today a new partnership with Bell Bank and the addition of new Chief Marketing Officer Cynthia Spitalny to grow its leadership roster. The Company also recently launched a new $0 copay benefit.

XP Health continues momentum with new Bell Bank partnership and addition of a CMO to its leadership roster

XP Health currently covers more than 250,000 people and has seen an 8,100 percent growth in the last two years since launching their platform, expanding from 30 to 2600+ customers, including DocuSign, Navistar, Chegg, Sequoia Consulting, and strategic partner Guardian Life Insurance. XP Health’s vision benefits provide reduced to no-cost frames with a market leading selection.

XP Health has signed a contract with Bell Bank, based in Fargo, N.D., one of the nation’s largest family- and employee-owned banks with more than $14 billion in assets, to provide vision benefits for more than 2,000 employees.

“Bell Bank is pleased to announce that XP Health has been selected as our new vision provider; XP Health’s approach to vision coverage is different than traditional insurance plans – in a good way,” said Amy Perrin, vice president/human resources director of operations, Bell Bank. “The employee experience is at the center of it all, highlighted by special online features including the ability to try on glasses virtually, and access to a wide range of discounted products to choose from. Going shopping for glasses just got fun!”

“We’re proud to add these new partnerships, which demonstrate continued growing interest in vision benefits and vision care among employers and payors,” said Antonio Moraes, CEO, and co-founder of XP Health. “Among the great things happening at XP Health is the expansion of our leadership roster with seasoned industry veterans from leading insurance and healthtech organizations. We are excited that Cynthia Spitalny is joining us as chief marketing officer, bringing strategic marketing experience to XP Health during a crucial time in our growth.”

A full-stack marketing and strategy health and tech executive with more than 20 years of experience in both global and national markets, Spitalny has a specialty in healthcare and wellness for B2B, B2C/DTC, B2B2C. A former STEM PhD, she is an award-winning marketer with one IPO and two strategic exits during her career. She is also a former wellness guest writer for various national and local publications. Spitalny earned a bachelor’s degree in molecular biology from the University of Connecticut and attended the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine’s PhD program in immunology.

Spitalny joins recent hires Ryan VanOverbeke (former CRO at Vimly) as chief commercial officer and Joel Alperstein (former president and CFO at Avesis) as chief financial officer.

Adding to XP Health’s growing appeal and momentum, in fall of 2023 the organization launched a new coverage model. In the new model, eye exams have a $0 copay and all glasses come with doctor recommended lenses, which include advanced blue-light protection, advanced anti-glare protection, UV protection and scratch-resistant coating, for $0.

“These features are more expensive to provide so most vision benefits packages do not include this as the baseline of care. It’s these elevated employee and employer benefits, combined with advantageous new partnerships and key leadership additions, that we believe are providing momentum and fueling our growth. It’s why XP Health is appealing to new investors like Rebecca Lynn” says Moraes.

Lynn, who appeared five times on the Forbes Midas List and is founder and general partner at Canvas Ventures offered, “For the 5 billion people who require some form of vision correction, vision care is an outdated, confusing, and expensive experience. XP Health is reimagining what is possible through its digital-first platform that leverages AI, AR, and customer-centric design. I believe Antonio and his growing leadership team are on a strong trajectory, building the partnerships that will make these important benefits much more accessible.”

eSign.AI Named Sole Electronic Signature Technology Provider for Hong Kong Government’s CorpID Project, Building the Foundation for Digital Signing Infrastructure in Hong Kong

Published

11 hours ago

on

May 8, 2026

By

HONG KONG, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Hong Kong’s Digital Corporate Identity Platform (CorpID) counts down to its phased launch, eSign.AI has been appointed as the sole electronic signature vendor in the project, responsible for delivering core digital signing capabilities including digital signatures, certificate management, and signature verification services. CorpID is led by Nexify, a seasoned government systems integrator, as the prime contractor. The platform is expected to launch in phases starting late 2026, with multiple CorpID-based e-government services going live in mid-2027.

CorpID: Government-Grade Digital Identity Infrastructure for Hong Kong Enterprises

The Digital Corporate Identity Platform (CorpID) is an enterprise-level digital services platform launched by the Hong Kong SAR Government, developed under the oversight of the Digital Policy Office (DPO). It is designed to serve as the business equivalent of “iAM Smart,” providing a unified digital identity foundation for Hong Kong enterprises. CorpID’s core mission is to build an integrated digital government infrastructure — offering unified identity authentication, digital signing, form pre-filling, and e-licence storage — replacing paper-heavy, cumbersome traditional processes and enabling smart city development through seamless data connectivity.

The platform is open to companies incorporated under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) and businesses registered under the Business Registration Ordinance (Cap. 310), including sole proprietorships and partnerships. The DPO requires all enterprise-related e-government services to support CorpID within 18 months of launch, and will continue expanding ecosystem coverage through sandbox initiatives, cross-industry identity standard interoperability, and fully online registration processes.

eSign.AI: The Digital Signing Engine Behind CorpID

eSign.AI is an AI-native electronic signature and contract automation platform built for enterprises worldwide, offering a complete signing framework from simple electronic signatures to the highest-level compliant digital signatures — meeting diverse regulatory requirements across industries and jurisdictions.

On the identity verification front, eSign.AI has completed integration with iAM Smart, enabling individual identity verification through Hong Kong’s citizen digital identity system, and providing legally valid digital certificate services for both enterprises and individuals.

Looking ahead, the eSign.AI SaaS platform will be deeply integrated with CorpID, providing enterprise and individual identity verification for Hong Kong businesses, and supporting both electronic and digital signing that complies with Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance — connecting the full digital contracting lifecycle for government and enterprise alike.

Getting Ahead of the AI Era: From eSignGlobal to eSign.AI

The electronic signature industry is undergoing a structural shift from “tooling” to “intelligence.” Market data underscores this acceleration: the AI-powered contract analysis tools market has grown from USD 3.32 billion in 2025 to USD 4.3 billion in 2026, at a CAGR of 29.6%. Signing is just one node in the contract lifecycle — document generation, workflow orchestration, compliance tracking, and post-execution management are all being transformed by AI, and the industry window is closing fast.

In April 2026, the company officially rebranded from eSignGlobal to eSign.AI, completing its strategic transformation from an e-signature tool provider to an AI-native contract automation platform. As the company’s spokesperson noted, this rebrand is not cosmetic — it is an acknowledgment of where the product actually is. Customers were already using eSign.AI to automate workflows that go far beyond the signature itself.

eSign Automation Skill was launched alongside the rebrand — an AI-powered signing automation framework for enterprise workflows that enables complete contract signing through natural language interaction, with no manual intervention required. Whether it is single-party approval, multi-party sequential signing, or large-scale parallel execution, an AI Agent can orchestrate the entire workflow in a single call. All signature initiations and status queries return structured JSON outputs, directly parseable by leading large language models and intelligent workflow systems.

eSign Automation is now available in the OpenClaw ecosystem and supports integration via Claude MCP, ChatGPT, and other leading AI platforms.

By combining AI automation capabilities with CorpID’s government-grade digital identity infrastructure, eSign.AI delivers a complete solution for Hong Kong enterprises — from identity verification to intelligent signing to full workflow automation.

About eSign.AI

eSign.AI (formerly eSignGlobal) is an AI-native electronic signature and contract automation platform built for enterprises worldwide. The platform serves over 100 countries and regions, covering core industries including financial services, manufacturing, real estate, human resources, and healthcare — with 1,500+ scenario applications and 3,000+ ecosystem partners. eSign.AI holds ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and ISO 27018 certifications and supports major regulatory frameworks including the U.S. ESIGN Act / UETA, EU eIDAS, HIPAA, GDPR, and 21 CFR Part 11.

By

SINGAPORE, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The winners of the 2026 German Red Dot Design Award were officially announced. Five of SUNMI Technology’s flagship products won awards: the CPad Business Tablet, CPad PAY, FLEX 3 Interactive Display, the V3 handheld POS Terminal and L3 Industrial PDA. These products stood out with three core design concepts: integration, versatility and human-centricity.

Known as “The Oscars” of global industrial design, the Red Dot Award has strict evaluation criteria covering aesthetics, ergonomics, scenario adaptability and sustainability. SUNMI adheres to original commercial scenario customization, rejecting crudely modified consumer devices. All winning products are originally developed for real commercial scenarios such as cash register, food delivery, industrial inspection and store operations, covering the entire commercial track with high scenario adaptability. Meanwhile, it practices ESG concepts, adopting eco-friendly materials and modular structures to extend equipment service life, reduce consumable consumption, and implement low-carbon and long-term design, which perfectly meets the Red Dot’s sustainability evaluation criteria.

Simplify Complexity: With highly integrated design, SUNMI eliminates the “patchwork feeling” of cluttered devices and tangled cables in traditional commercial scenarios, streamlining store operations and saving space.All-in-One Versatility: Beyond a single tool function, SUNMI’s products achieve flexible transformation through modular and multi-form designs to proactively adapt to changing business needs. The CPad series with modular accessories and FLEX 3’s Lego-style modular design enable multi-scenario application and long-term reuse.Human-Centric Design: Every detail is human-oriented, focusing on real pain points to enhance scenario experience. The L3 Industrial PDA reduces high-frequency work fatigue through scientific weight distribution; the V3 Smart POS Terminal balances large-screen visibility and grip comfort; CPad PAY integrates full-link functions to simplify workflows.

These honors stem from SUNMI’s long-term commitment to a sustainable society, original commercial R&D and ESG. In the future, SUNMI will uphold its core concepts, expand the boundaries of commercial industrial design, and empower global businesses with user-oriented, eco-friendly and high-value products.
