Industry-leading AI system with guardrails announces new investors including Andreessen Horowitz, and general availability of healthcare AI copilot FastTrack™

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Infinitus Systems, Inc., provider of the first AI platform specifically built to automate manual healthcare phone calls, has raised its Series C financing led by Andreessen Horowitz. 

Andreessen Horowitz and Memorial Hermann Health System joined existing investors Kleiner Perkins, Coatue, and GV (Google Ventures) in investing an additional $51.5 million to accelerate the Infinitus mission of transforming healthcare operations with AI. This brings the company’s total funding raised to $102.9 million.

The healthcare experience for patients and employees is falling short. Inefficiencies in back-office operations lead to delays in access to treatment and contribute to employee burnout from tedious manual processes. Infinitus solves this fundamental problem by enabling payors, providers, and drug manufacturers to automate one of the most time-consuming aspects of healthcare operations — manual phone calls. 

“We have an enormous opportunity to transform how the healthcare ecosystem exchanges administrative data,” said Ankit Jain, CEO and co-founder of Infinitus. “We are grateful for the support from our new and existing investors, as this funding will allow us to further scale our impact, continuing to innovate and deliver solutions that meaningfully improve the experience of patients with chronic conditions.”

Infinitus is setting the standard for how AI is used within patient services, much of this due to the strength of its industry-leading AI guardrails, safeguards designed to ensure AI systems operate within ethical, legal, and technical boundaries. The ability to combine guardrails at every level of the Infinitus AI system means the company’s AI products can handle long phone conversations with high accuracy, ensuring customers get the reliable data they need. The AI agent, for example, can navigate hundreds of conversational turns and long context windows, something even the most modern LLMs can’t do.

Unlike other solutions on the market, Infinitus has the ability to use LLMs for their reasoning and extraction capabilities through a coordination layer that restricts conversations to an approved set of topics. This discrete knowledge and action space puts to rest any concerns that the AI might hallucinate.

In addition, the phone calls on which these conversations occur stay secure and compliant, as all Infinitus solutions are HIPAA and SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and run on a HITRUST Certified Cloud.

“Our comprehensive guardrails enable us to create a secure and precise environment for these interactions. This not only minimizes errors but also ensures compliance and trust, which are paramount in healthcare,” said Shyam Rajagopalan, co-founder and CTO of Infinitus. “In addition to enabling our full-call automation, our guardrails play a major role in other products we have developed, including FastTrack™, the Infinitus AI copilot, which is built on many of these same components.”

The purpose-built AI copilot for healthcare, FastTrack enters general availability today. It enables call center staff contacting payors to bypass tedious IVR systems and hold times, reducing administrative task turnaround time and improving patient support.

“The potential for AI to revolutionize the healthcare industry is immense, and Infinitus is well positioned to help customers navigate this time of change,” said Scott Kupor, managing partner at Andreessen Horowitz, who also joined the Infinitus board as part of this investment. “We believe in Infinitus’s vision and are confident that their innovative solutions, like FastTrack, will continue to disrupt the industry and deliver significant value to both their customers and the broader healthcare ecosystem, safely and securely driving efficiency and enabling healthcare providers to focus more on patient care.”

FastTrack is powered by lnfinitus’s purpose-built AI system for healthcare, which draws from a vast knowledge graph of payor intelligence gathered from over 4 million calls and counting. It knows the right numbers to call, can navigate complex IVR systems, and waits on hold on behalf of reimbursement specialists or other call center staff – dropping callers in once a live payor agent answers. Use cases for FastTrack include claims processing, prior authorizations, and benefit verifications, among others.

“We believe this technology can help with workforce shortages by taking on some of the tasks that help support workflow,” said Feby Abraham, PhD, executive vice president and chief strategy officer for Memorial Hermann. “We are always looking for new ways to engage our employees and make them feel better supported. The unique challenges of the past few years have only heightened the need for support in this area.”

FastTrack does not require an integration to get started; API integrations are available, as well as integrations to popular systems of record such as Salesforce. Users of the system get back significant time they would have otherwise spent navigating IVRs, waiting on hold, or composing summary notes – another feature auto-generated by the solution.

FastTrack is the latest achievement for Infinitus, which also announced the launches of its AI electronic benefit verification solutions for patients covered by commercial insurance and Medicare earlier this year. Access to FastTrack can be requested via this link.

BitradeX BXC First Two Subscription Rounds Sell Out, Total Subscriptions Exceed 14M USDT

Published

on

By

LONDON, May 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BitradeX Capital’s ecosystem equity token, BXC, has completed its first and second subscription rounds, selling a total of 50 million BXC with subscriptions exceeding 14 million USDT. The first round sold out in 90 seconds, while the second closed within 48 hours.

While the fundraising size is not unusually large by crypto standards, the structure of the sale has attracted market attention. The first two rounds were not open to the public, but limited to high-tier BitradeX users. The first round was available only to V5 users and above, while the second round expanded access to V3 users and above.

According to BitradeX’s tier system, V3+ users typically have higher recurring investment activity through AiBot, longer platform usage history, and stronger ecosystem participation. This means the early BXC allocation was absorbed mainly by the platform’s internal high-value user base, rather than short-term speculative participants.

This approach differs from many token fundraising campaigns that prioritize broad public participation and market hype. BitradeX instead adopted a more selective, staged model, gradually lowering the participation threshold while keeping the sale within its active ecosystem community.

BXC is positioned as more than a standard platform token. Its value framework is linked to BitradeX Capital’s broader ecosystem, including its exchange business, AiBot quantitative strategies, BTX Card payments, and Labs incubation platform. Public information indicates that BXC holders may receive staking rewards, benefit from ecosystem buybacks and burns, and gain priority access to Launchpad projects and governance participation.

The third subscription round is launched on April 30 at $0.35 USDT per BXC, with a total supply of 100 million BXC. It is now open to users participating in AiBot recurring investment. The fourth round price is expected to rise to $0.45 USDT.

The long-term value of BXC will ultimately depend on the growth of BitradeX’s underlying businesses, including exchange profitability, AiBot user expansion, and BTX Card adoption. However, the rapid sellout of the first two rounds suggests that BitradeX’s core user base has already shown strong confidence in the ecosystem’s future.

South and East Asia identified as hotspots of global warming related impacts on male fertility

Published

on

By

BEIJING, May 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A major new study has shown that South and East Asia dominate patterns of global warming related decline in male fertility with the strongest and most consistent evidence coming from India, Pakistan and the southern parts of China.

The effects of increased environmental temperatures on male reproductive health include declining sperm concentration and motility and increased sperm DNA fragmentation, or genetic damage that can hinder fertilisation and embryo development.

Male related factors account for around 50 per cent of infertility cases around the world and the impact of rising ambient heat on semen parameters raises serious implications across wide areas of Asia where total fertility rates are in serious decline.

Outcomes of the study undertaken by the Taiwan IVF Group and Ton Yen General Hospital, Taiwan (China) in collaboration with Stanford University (USA) are being presented at the 2026 Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE) in Beijing.

Research principal and Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor at Stanford University, Dr Jack Yu Jen Huang, MD, PhD, FACOG said: “Given the temperature sensitivity of spermatogenesis, even modest increases in ambient temperature could have cumulative, population-level effects over time.

“As global warming accelerates, male reproductive health may represent an emerging climate sensitive public health concern.”

The testes function optimally at temperatures lower than the internal body heat level, and previous studies have shown elevated scrotal or ambient temperatures can impair sperm production.

The latest research explored global patterns to reveal comparative data across regions. It is based on a systematic review of international studies on temperature exposure and semen parameter trends between 2000 and 2024. Artificial intelligence algorithms and machine learning tools were applied to extract key variables including geographic regions and semen outcomes.

Dr Huang said studies examining occupational heat exposure alone were excluded from the analysis as they reflected localised, job-specific conditions rather than broader climatic trends.

“Our findings therefore represent population level climate associated temperature effects including consistent seasonal variations showing poor semen quality parameters in warmer periods.”

The global patterns on temperature associated lower sperm concentration and motility show South and East Asia as major hot spots of concern followed by the Middle East, Europe and North America.

“South and East Asia are likely more affected due to a combination of factors including higher baseline ambient temperatures and rapid urbanisation that contribute to greater cumulative heat stress on spermatogenesis,” Dr Huang explained.

“With ongoing global warming, chronic heat exposure may increasingly impact male reproductive health.”

Dr Huang said potential approaches to address the issue include:

increasing public awareness of heat exposure and reproductive health;encouraging protective behaviours;expanding research integrating climate and reproductive health data; andexploring clinical and lifestyle interventions to mitigate heat-related effects.

The research team was assisted by research intern Jeffrey Zi Kang Huang from Taipei American School, particularly in the application of artificial intelligence in biomedical research including AI-assisted data analysis and pattern recognition across global datasets.

“Further longitudinal and mechanistic studies will be important to better define causality and guide interventions,” he added.

The ASPIRE Congress is being held at the China National Convention Centre in Beijing. More than 3,000 scientists, clinicians, nurses and counsellors in assisted reproduction from around the world are attending the Congress.
