To date, Lindus Health has conducted numerous end-to-end trials in consumer health and wellness, enrolling patients across the US, UK, and Europe for a variety of products including topical creams, prebiotics and probiotics, weight loss supplements, digital health interventions, over-the-counter medications, and more. Lindus Health is set to enhance consumer health trials with the release of their “All-in-One Consumer Health CRO”, capitalizing on their expertise in the development of health and wellness products.

This comprehensive solution provides companies developing health and wellness products with all the tools they need to conduct their research in one place.

Lindus Health’s offering equips sponsors to enroll diverse participant populations through a variety of tactics, including targeted social media recruitment campaigns, collaborations with primary care, EHR screening, virtual and hybrid site models, and more. The company’s robust recruitment capabilities allow them to enroll participants in consumer health trials two times faster on average.

The “All-in-One Consumer Health CRO” solution provides consumer health companies with a comprehensive suite of features:

CRO and traditional study management services: Lindus Health’s clinical operations team leverages their extensive expertise in health and wellness research through trial end-to-end execution, from study startup through close-out.Strategies for large-scale recruitment: With the ability to readily screen over 30 million EHRs and deploy multi-channel advertising campaigns, Lindus Health can reach a larger pool of study candidates to accelerate recruitment timelines.Customizable eClinical software, Citrus™: Lindus Health’s home-grown trial management platform, integrates essential trial execution technologies like the Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS), Electronic Data Capture (EDC), eConsent, and patient scheduling, all customized to fit each study’s needs.Deep regulatory and industry expertise: Bringing together various research backgrounds, the Lindus Health team resumes exceptional knowledge of the requirements of different types of consumer health studies and stays current with industry trends.Exceptional site operations solutions: With strong partnerships with principal investigators (PIs) and research staff, Lindus Health’s site management team efficiently conducts trials in various settings—single-site, multi-site, remote/hybrid, and traditional—using their extensive primary and specialty care network to meet study requirements.

“We’ve had the privilege of collaborating with Lindus Health, and their team’s attentiveness and dedication have been beyond our expectations,” said CEO Thomas Gurry, Co-Founder and CEO of Myota, a health tech start-up that aims to improve well-being and prevent chronic diseases. “Their passion is evident in every aspect of their work, from meticulous study planning to execution.”

The “All-in-One Consumer Health CRO” is backed by the support of a stellar advisory board that includes Bob Langer, co-founder at Moderna and institute professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), as well as Alessandro Falcone, Executive Director of Breast Cancer Oncology R&D Strategy at AstraZeneca.

MARRAKECH, Morocco, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA), an independent and non-political anti-corruption organisation with over 190 member anti-corruption authorities (ACAs) worldwide, will co-host IAACA Annual Conference 2026 in Marrakech, Morocco next month together with the Independent Commission Against Corruption of Hong Kong, China (ICAC) and the National Authority for Probity, Prevention and Fight Against Corruption of Morocco (INPPLC) to chart a path for the global graft fight and explore cutting-edge approaches to tackle emerging corruption challenges.

Themed “Building on 20 Years of Legacy: Drawing Strength from the Past, Guarding Global Integrity for the Future”, the international event will not only mark the 20th anniversary of the IAACA, but also provide a dynamic forum for IAACA members to exchange insights and enhance co-operation.

Calling on international counterparts to participate in the conference scheduled for November 25, IAACA President Mr Woo Ying-ming, who also serves as ICAC Commissioner, said that “As the IAACA marks its 20th anniversary, the conference will bring together global anti-corruption community at a pivotal moment for collective action. I anticipate that the valuable insights and new approaches generated through the international synergy will chart a resilient strategic path for us to navigate integrity risks and draw strength from our shared legacy to guard global integrity for generations to come.”

During the conference, renowned international experts from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Basel Institute on Governance, the International Anti-Corruption Academy, and global anti-corruption and law enforcement agencies and institutions will shed light on harnessing artificial intelligence in the fight against corruption, safeguarding integrity within global climate and biodiversity frameworks and analysing global corruption measurement and systemic effectiveness.

Following the conference, the ICAC, the INPPLC, the IAACA and the UNODC will co-organise a training seminar on leveraging AI in combating corruption.

While the ICAC and INPPLC will share how AI and new technology can reshape the future of anti-graft enforcement and corruption prevention, the UNODC will provide a global perspective on using AI models in financial crime investigations and addressing the operational relevance, legal robustness and adaptability across jurisdictions.

Viettel moves 100 million subscribers to home-grown cloud-native charging in three months – with zero downtime

Published

on

By

HANOI, Vietnam, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Viettel High Technology Industries Corporation (Viettel High Tech), part of Viettel Group, has migrated more than 100 million subscribers and some 5,000 tariff plans at Viettel, Vietnam’s largest mobile operator, to vOCS 4.0, its in-house cloud-native charging system. The three-month cutover ran on a live national network with no service disruption.

Replacing a charging system is one of the riskiest projects an operator can undertake, which is why many stick with legacy platforms. Viettel High Tech reduced the risk through real-time data synchronization, parallel running and a phased cutover, with instant rollback at every stage.

The project won the Telecom Review Excellence Awards 2026 prize for Best Technology Deployment in Asia, a first for a Vietnamese company.

What it means for operators:

Scale: more than 300,000 transactions per second at latency below 5 milliseconds, across 2G–5G and fixed services on one platformLower cost: up to 50% less hardware investment than the previous generation, by sharing infrastructure with the networkAgility: new tariff plans in hours instead of days, new features three times faster and deployments about 30% fasterResilience: two active data centers about 2,000 km apart and automatic recovery in under two minutes

Viettel High Tech developed every core layer in-house, from a telecom-grade cloud-native platform and NFV-MANO orchestration to real-time charging, subscriber and balance management.

“Passing rigorous tests of real-time self-diagnosis and self-recovery is what allows an operator to keep its promise of 24/7 service to customers,” said Luu Manh Ha, CEO of Viettel Networks, which operates the system on Viettel’s network in Vietnam. “Above all, owning the charging system means an operator is not dependent on foreign vendors – it safeguards digital sovereignty and preserves business flexibility.”

“The charging system is where an operator’s business strategy turns into revenue in real time,” said Nguyen Minh Quang, CEO of Viettel High Tech. “We believe vOCS 4.0 is ready to help operators worldwide capture the value of 5G and digital services.”

In 2017, vOCS 4.0’s predecessor, vOCS 3.0, replaced a foreign vendor’s platform for 90 million Viettel subscribers. Across both generations, vOCS serves more than 220 million subscribers in 11 countries. Viettel High Tech now offers vOCS 4.0 to operators worldwide.
