Published

on

CHICAGO, May 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sidekick Health, a leading digital health company and a founding member of CancerX, is thrilled to present real-world data from its digital oncology program at ASCO 2024. 

The Sidekick Health oncology program is a groundbreaking app-based solution that supports patients living with cancer to self-manage their health. The program aims to bridge the gap between clinic visits by empowering patients with the tools and resources they need, focusing on areas such as mental resilience, nutrition, stress, and more. Features of the program may also include medication reminders and symptom tracking. 

Key findings
These new data will highlight the promising impact of Sidekick Health’s digital oncology program on the quality of life and symptom severity of people living with cancer. 

Sidekick Health’s digital health program to support cancer self-management was available free of charge to US-based cancer patientsWe conducted a retrospective real-world analysis to explore the impact of the program on quality of life and symptom severityA broad cancer population (from early-stage to terminal; diagnosed less than 6 months to over 10 years prior) used the program; retention was highWe found statistically significant improvements in self-reported quality of life measures and symptoms over the programQuality of life measures (energy and sleep) improved (p<0.05) and symptom (fatigue and nausea) severity reduced (p<0.05) in highly-engaged users (we used machine learning – unsupervised clustering – to group users by app engagement to mitigate potential bias)Fewer symptoms (e.g. stress, nausea, or fatigue) were reported over the program on average: each additional week in the program was associated with a 3.5% decrease in the expected count of symptoms (Incidence Risk Ratio, 0.965; P<0.001)Looking at individual symptoms, each additional week in the program was associated with a 6.8% decrease in the expected count of stress (Odds Ratio, 0.932; p=0.044), and a 10% decrease in the expected count of nausea (Odds Ratio, 0.900; p=0.004), on average

These findings indicate that digital self-management is not only achievable for people with cancer, but that higher engagement may improve patient-reported outcomes.

The poster will be presented on the second day of ASCO 2024:

Title: Digital health program for patients with cancer to support self-management: A retrospective real-world analysis Date: Saturday 1st June, 9 am-12 pmPoster session: Care Delivery/Models of care, Hall A, Abstract 1570, Poster Bd 441Presenting author: Dr. Ólöf Bjarnadóttir, Landspitali University Hospital, IcelandLINK: https://meetings.asco.org/abstracts-presentations/233743

AglaiaSense and Leopard Imaging to Demonstrate Privacy-First AI Traffic Sensing at Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona

Published

on

By

FREMONT, Calif. and BARCELONA, Spain, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AglaiaSense and Leopard Imaging will exhibit together at Smart City Expo World Congress, November 3–5, 2026, at Fira Barcelona Gran Vía.

The two companies proposed AI-VIVA (Vision Intelligence for València and Arterials) and is selected as a finalist in the fifth urban challenge of Barcelona Innova Lab Mobility (BILM), on the application of artificial intelligence to traffic-light regulation. AI-VIVA combines AglaiaSense’s edge-AI traffic solutions with Leopard Imaging’s patented privacy architecture. At the show, the team will give a live demonstration of AglaiaSense’s signature MS500 and GS500 cameras, with the AglaiaSense AI Box, powered by NVIDIA, which adds local processing to coordinate groups of neighboring intersections.

The cameras analyze images inside the device, using the Sony IMX500 and IMX501 intelligent vision sensors. They count and classify vehicles, buses, cyclists and pedestrians in real time. Raw video is discarded on the device within 400–800 milliseconds, and only anonymous metadata is transmitted. Cities can feed that data into signal-control software to adapt traffic lights to real demand.

MS500: about 2 W average power, 1080p, powered from a standard NEMA or ZHAGA street-light socket.

GS500: about 6.5 W average, dual 4K cameras, with Ethernet, LTE Cat 4 and GPS; powered by PoE, 12–24 V DC or a NEMA adapter.

Both cameras: IP66-rated, −20 °C to +65 °C, mounted on existing poles, so no trenching or new masts are needed.

Bandwidth: more than 95% lower than CCTV-based monitoring.

“Cities want safer, smoother streets without turning every crossing into a surveillance point,” said Leon Luo, CEO of AglaiaSense. “Being named a finalist in Barcelona tells us the approach resonates.”

“Privacy has to be built into the camera, not added later,” said Bill Pu, CEO of Leopard Imaging.

AglaiaSense’s solutions are deployed across North America and Asia, and the company won first place in the Pedestrian Safety Challenge Hackathon, run by the Edge AI Foundation (formerly the tinyML Foundation) and the City of San José. In field tests, the systems achieved detection and counting accuracy above 95%. The City of Lakewood, Colorado, compared the GS500 with traditional IP cameras and LiDAR on real roads and found it more accurate, more energy-efficient, and less costly to deploy. At a high-risk crossing where pedestrians often crossed outside the crosswalk, the system alerted approaching drivers in real time.

Visit us at Pavilion 3, Level 0, Street D, Stand 71. To book a meeting, email sales@aglaiasense.com.

About AglaiaSense

AglaiaSense, is an edge-AI company specializing in privacy-first, vision-based sensing for smart cities. Its GS500 and MS500 cameras run AI on the image sensor to count and classify road users in real time and send only anonymous metadata.

About Leopard Imaging

Leopard Imaging is a global leader in high-definition embedded cameras and AI-based imaging solutions in industries including automotive, aerospace, drones, IoT, and robotics.
