NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Crisil Coalition Greenwich today announced the 2025 Best Bank and Share Leader award winners. Over 60 banks were recognized globally, regionally and by country in the corporate banking segment. J.P.

Morgan and HSBC as the year’s best global corporate banks in their respective categories.”

New Award, Same Trusted Methodology
The Coalition Greenwich Leader designation has long been the industry’s standard among banks and corporates across Corporate Banking, Cash Management, Foreign Exchange, Trade Finance, and other core bank business lines. These awards help companies identify the top performers in specific banking functions and for banks to benchmark themselves against rivals both locally and regionally.

For 2025, Crisil Coalition Greenwich retained the Share Leader award and revamped the renowned Quality Leader and Excellence designations as Best Bank awards to enhance clarity, marketability and prestige. With the new and expanded awards, the same industry-leading data and analytical rigor that made the Quality and Excellence Leaders the most trusted and cited award in global banking is retained.

Award winners receive quality ratings from corporate clients that top those of competing banks by a statistically significant margin. The analysis considers coverage intensity, ease of doing business, advisory capabilities, product and digital capabilities, and other factors.

“Our expertise in market analysis is why our awards are the industry gold standard,” says Dr. Tobias Miarka. “They comprise direct feedback from objective and in-depth interviews with corporate decision-makers and are built on comprehensive and robust market analysis.”

The project focuses on improving user experience, content discoverability, and engagement while introducing a scalable CMS to support ongoing updates. The new platform is now live at https://www.portlandlibrary.org/.

The redesigned website reflects a strategic effort to better serve a diverse audience by improving navigation, enhancing accessibility, and creating clearer pathways to programs, events, and resources.

Improving Engagement Through User-Centric Design

Portland Public Library required a modern digital platform to address challenges related to fragmented navigation, limited engagement pathways, and difficulty in accessing content. The previous website structure made it harder for users to find relevant information efficiently.

Digital Silk addressed these challenges through a full website redesign supported by user-centric information architecture and optimized user journeys. The updated experience prioritizes clarity, accessibility, and ease of navigation across a wide range of services and resources.

“Organizations like public libraries are increasingly relying on their digital platforms to serve as primary engagement hubs, making usability and content clarity more important than ever,” said Ana Margarida Meira, VP, Client Partner.

Key outcomes include:

+47.82% increase in average engagement time per active user+4.5% increase in engaged sessions per active user+18.38% increase in average engagement time per session

These improvements may indicate stronger interaction with site content and increased user engagement across programs and services.

Key Deliverables Supporting Accessibility and Scalability

The project combined design, UX strategy, and technical development to support both immediate engagement improvements and long-term flexibility.

Core deliverables included:

Full website redesign and developmentUser-centric information architectureEngagement-focused UX design and user journey optimizationInclusive design enhancementsScalable CMS with modular content componentsPerformance optimization and QA testing

The implementation enables the library’s internal team to manage content more efficiently while supporting dynamic updates for seasonal programming and community initiatives.

Supporting a Shift Toward Inclusive Digital Experiences

The project reflects a broader trend among public institutions and content-heavy organizations to prioritize inclusive design, improved content discoverability, and scalable content management systems. Increasingly, organizations are focusing on engagement metrics as a measure of digital effectiveness.

“A well-structured, user-centric website can significantly increase engagement by making it easier for diverse audiences to find, explore, and interact with valuable resources and services,” said Ana Margarida Meira, VP, Client Partner.

Building a Foundation for Ongoing Community Engagement

The redesigned platform provides Portland Public Library with a flexible and scalable foundation to support future growth. By improving accessibility and navigation, the website is positioned to better connect users with educational programs, community services, and digital resources.

LUMA Vision to Showcase VERAFEYE 4D Imaging Platform at HRS 2026, Signaling a New Foundation for EP Guidance

Published

on

By

DUBLIN, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LUMA Vision, a leader in real-time 4D cardiac imaging and navigation, today announced its participation in the Heart Rhythm Society Annual Meeting (HRS 2026) in Chicago, where the company will showcase its VERAFEYE™ Visualization and Guidance Platform and highlight new clinical progress through physician-led presentations and scientific sessions.

At HRS 2026, LUMA Vision will demonstrate how VERAFEYE enables direct, real-time visualization of cardiac anatomy, catheters, and therapy delivery—a step-change from conventional imaging and mapping approaches. By combining live 2D and 4D intra-procedural imaging with precise digital anatomical models, the platform delivers CT-quality visualization in seconds, supporting faster, more intuitive, and more precise procedures.

VERAEYE is redefining EP Guidance — from tools to platform, VERAFEYE is designed to eliminate the fragmentation of current EP workflows by enabling physicians to see and guide therapy in real time, rather than relying on the traditional three separate systems of point-by-point mapping, ICE and fluoroscopy. Early clinical experience demonstrates the platform’s ability to:

Enable efficient single-operator workflowsSupport multiple ablation technologiesEliminate the use of fluoroscopyIntroduce a true two-catheter procedure

LUMA Vision will be featured across multiple sessions:

Wednesday, April 22 | 3:00 PM Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago
Dr. Shephal Doshi will present at the Stanford Biodesign New Arrhythmia Technologies Retreat, highlighting the role of real-time 4D imaging in advancing EP innovation.

Thursday, April 23 | 5:00 PM McCormick Place Convention Center • Room S406AB
Dr. Vivek Reddy will present “AF Ablation with a Large-Focal PFA Catheter & Integrated Guidance” at the 3rd Annual PFA LIVE Case Summit, featuring the VERAFEYE™ System in collaboration with CardioFocus.

Saturday, April 25 | Time 12:00 to 2:00 PM Abstract Pavilion, McCormick Place (Exhibit Hall)
Dr. Toni Breskovic will present new clinical data demonstrating real-world workflow validation and procedural impact.

“This is a defining moment not only for LUMA Vision, but for the future architecture of cardiac procedures. VERAFEYE is a globally unique, AI–powered system that sits at the intersection of electrophysiology, left atrial appendage closure, and structural heart interventions, designed as a unified operating layer rather than a standalone procedural tool,” said Fionn Lahart, CEO of LUMA Vision. “What we are introducing with VERAFEYE is a unified, real–time view of the heart that has the potential to become the foundation for how cardiac procedures are performed.  As the field advances toward next–generation ablation technologies, guidance will no longer be an accessory. It will be the AI–enabled decision–making platform on which everything else is built.”

Driven by advanced AI algorithms, VERAFEYE interprets cardiac anatomy in real time, creating a single anatomical and guidance framework that spans multiple procedures. This intelligent foundation establishes a common procedural language through which therapies can enable greater precision, more efficient workflows, and tighter integration across the cardiac ecosystem.

Throughout the week, attendees are invited to visit Booth #2415 to meet the clinical team and experience how VERAFEYE delivers CT-quality digital anatomy in seconds, enabling a new level of precision and control in EP procedures. As EP continues to evolve toward energy-agnostic, platform-driven workflows, VERAFEYE is positioned to serve as a foundational imaging layer integrating across mapping systems.

About LUMA Vision

LUMA Vision is a privately held medical technology company headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, with key operations in Munich, Germany. The company designs and develops next-generation cardiac visualization and navigation systems that empower clinicians to see and treat with unmatched precision. VERAFEYE™, LUMA Vision’s flagship platform, delivers a real-time, 360° intracardiac view with an unprecedented field of visualization, redefining procedural accuracy in electrophysiology and structural heart interventions. Founded by CEO Fionn Lahart and CTO Christoph Hennersperger, LUMA Vision is committed to transforming cardiac care through innovation that improves outcomes and save lives.
