Partnership Accelerates Remote Care Adoption Across SRHO Member Health Systems, Extending Brook’s Agentic AI Platform to Communities Nationwide

SEATTLE, July 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Brook.ai, the remote care company, a pioneer of AI-enabled continuous care infrastructure, and SRHO – The National Association, the nation’s leading consortium of Strategic Regional Healthcare Organizations representing more than 275 hospitals across 20 states, today announced a strategic partnership to deploy Brook’s agentic AI remote care platform across SRHO member health systems – enabling continuous, longitudinal care beyond the walls of their institutions at a fraction of the traditional cost.

With health systems facing rising chronic disease burdens, persistent workforce shortages, and growing pressure to deliver outcomes-based care in the home, Brook’s continuous care infrastructure arrives at a critical moment. Trained on more than five million patient care conversations, Brook blends clinician-governed agentic AI with dedicated remote clinical teams to create a seamless, connected patient experience — embedding directly into longitudinal care workflows to enable earlier risk identification, timely interventions, and results that speak for themselves: a 50% reduction in all-cause readmissions, 74% hypertension control, and 71% long-term patient retention across Brook’s patient population.

SRHO’s economies-of-scale model means member hospitals of all sizes can now access this enterprise-grade infrastructure.

“Healthcare is at an inflection point,” said Brook.ai Co-Founder & CEO Oren Nissim. “The combination of agentic AI and a dedicated clinical care infrastructure means health systems can now deliver continuous, personalized care to their patients at home – at a scale and cost structure that simply wasn’t possible before. For the hundreds of hospitals in the SRHO network, that means care teams that can reach further, intervene earlier, and be present for patients in the moments that matter most between appointments. That is the kind of support that genuinely changes health outcomes, and we are honored to help make it a reality for so many communities.”

“SRHO’s mission has always been to help our member health systems access the tools, relationships, and scale they need to thrive in value-based care,” said SRHO CEO Mark Tribbett. “Brook represents exactly the kind of transformative partner we look for – an infrastructure that is proven, outcomes-driven, and built for the realities of community hospitals and regional health systems. We look forward to bringing Brook’s continuous care capabilities to our members and empowering them to deliver care for their patients at scale.”

Griffin Health, the nationally recognized independent community health system in Derby, Connecticut, was among the first SRHO members to deploy Brook’s platform; a natural extension of its whole-person care philosophy centered on meeting patients where they are.

“Griffin’s partnership with Brook Health has allowed us to use technology to expand patient access to care, deepen human connection, and help people live healthier lives,” said Griffin Health President and CEO Patrick Charmel. “Through our work with Brook, we’re already seeing progress helping people manage chronic conditions, including rapid blood pressure control, with patients achieving control in an average of eight weeks, and significant diabetes improvement, with high-risk patients reducing A1c by an average of 1.7 points within three months. These results are driven by identifying risk sooner and staying continuously engaged with patients by providing support and sharing health education in moments when symptoms arise. This approach reflects Griffin’s Planetree Person-Centered Care philosophy of treating the whole person, promoting meaningful human interaction, and empowering patients to become active participants in their care and wellbeing. Brook’s platform allows us to extend that by combining the thoughtful use of AI analytics with continuous human clinical support. It gives our care teams more timely insight and more opportunities to connect with patients in ways that are personal, responsive, and stay present in-between clinical visits.”

The Brook–SRHO partnership represents a significant step in the broader movement to make continuous, AI-enabled care a standard of practice – not a premium offering available only to the largest health systems. With strong early results at Griffin Health and more than 275 member hospitals now primed to benefit, this partnership signals a new era for how community health systems deliver care beyond the clinic.

CypherBlk, Powered By Apkudo, Launches Phoneshield™, Free For Life For The Small Businesses Powering The Circular Economy

OEM-grade diagnostics, counterfeit detection, and certified data erasure, at no cost for qualifying small businesses selling used devices direct to consumers

PHOENIX, July 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CypherBlk, powered by Apkudo, announced the launch of PhoneShield™, an advanced mobile device diagnostics and secure data erasure platform. Reshaping the industry, PhoneShield is available free for life for up to five stations for qualifying small businesses that sell used devices directly to consumers through online marketplaces or brick-and-mortar storefronts, have fewer than 150 employees, and have less than $15M in monthly Gross Merchandise Value (GMV). PhoneShield removes the final financial barrier between independent device sellers and the OEM-grade trust tools long priced exclusively for enterprise operations.

On Amazon, more than 60% of sales come from independent sellers, almost all of them small and medium-sized businesses (Amazon, 2025 Small Business Empowerment Report). The secondary device market is no different. Yet the tools that prove a device is authentic, functional, and safely erased have long been priced for enterprises only. PhoneShield changes that.

With no license fees, small device businesses gain the exact same operational certainty as the largest global processors. PhoneShield returns OEM-grade diagnostics and verified component authenticity in seconds. The platform reads what a device actually reports rather than sampling surface information. This architecture delivers full diagnostic coverage across iOS and Android from a single interface. 

The software validates hardware components down to the logic board. This deep visibility flags battery swaps, recalibrated batteries presenting as original, display swaps, and unauthorized repairs before they turn into costly customer disputes or negative online reviews. It also executes ADISA-certified data sanitization in the same pass as diagnostics. The system creates tamper-proof audit trails that support R2v3, GDPR, and global privacy requirements.

“The circular economy does not run on large processors alone,” said Milos Mihic, CEO and Co-Founder of CypherBlk. “It runs on thousands of independent businesses selling one verified asset at a time. By making PhoneShield free for life for these operators, we eliminate the financial barrier to the trust and transparency their customers deserve. A two-person shop can now prove device authenticity the same way a global refurbisher does.” 

PhoneShield is engineered for practical storefront and warehouse operations, not just industrial floors. It significantly reduces operator training requirements, mitigates manual testing errors, enables automated USB debugging, and runs diagnostics nearly hands-free. Operators can configure custom diagnostic tests, erasure types, and label printing to match individual stations. Teams run PhoneShield the same way their retail counters and processing lines already operate. 

Integrated with the Apkudo Device Passport™ Platform and powered by Device OS™, PhoneShield streams verified diagnostic and authenticity data directly into a digital Device Passport™. This integration provides every business with a trusted, portable record that travels with the device across its entire lifecycle. Results are also accessible through real-time webhooks into existing ERP, WMS, and reporting systems. 

“Every used device that reaches a consumer with a verified record makes the secondary market stronger,” said Josh Matthews, CEO and Co-Founder of Apkudo. “When diagnostics and data erasure are free for the small businesses doing this heavy lifting, there is no reason for a Device Passport to be incomplete. Every station in every operation becomes a source of verified truth instead of a gap in the data record. Apkudo applauds Cypherblk for this disruptive move in supporting the small businesses that power the circular economy.” 

The environmental stakes extend far beyond retail commerce. The world generated a record 62 million tonnes of e-waste in 2022, yet less than 25% was properly recycled (UN Global E-waste Monitor, 2024). Every asset a small business restores to circulation instead of a landfill has a measurable impact. PhoneShield places the essential data infrastructure of technology reuse within reach of the local businesses doing that vital work every single day.

PhoneShield is available now. The free-for-life tier supports qualified small businesses selling used devices direct-to-consumer. To deploy the software, visit the CypherBlk customer onboarding portal.

The CypherBlk team will be at Mobile Disrupt 2026 with live demonstrations at the Apkudo booth #1001-1002.

About CypherBlk
CypherBlk is the trust layer for second-life devices. Its ADISA-certified platforms, led by TimeShield™, the industry’s first certified solution for smartwatches, pair certified data sanitization with device intelligence that catches counterfeit parts and account-locked units before they hit the resale channel. Powered by Apkudo, CypherBlk helps refurbishers and ITADs move more devices with less risk and increased margin. Learn more at cypherblk.com.

Published

TORONTO, July 6, 2026 /CNW/ –  Asian Television Network International Limited (ATN), Canada’s largest South Asian broadcaster and a leading multicultural media company, today reiterated its call for equitable access to any federal financial support being made available to Canada’s broadcasting sector.

Prior to the recent announcement of the federal government’s proposed $600 million support initiative for broadcasters, ATN had already written to the Right Honourable Prime Minister of Canada, outlining the significant challenges facing independent multicultural broadcasters and requesting meaningful financial assistance to help preserve local multicultural media services across Canada. ATN is hoping to get a positive response from the Prime Minister’s Office.

For more than four decades, ATN has invested several million dollars in serving Canada’s diverse South Asian communities by providing multilingual news & current affairs, entertainment, sports, and cultural programming while creating over 120 full time Canadian jobs and supporting multicultural storytelling.

“Independent multicultural broadcasters play a vital role in ensuring that Canada’s diverse communities remain informed, connected, and represented,” said Dr. Shan Chandrasekar, President and CEO of ATN. “As the broadcasting industry continues to face unprecedented economic and structural challenges, it is essential that any government support be distributed fairly and recognizes the unique contribution made by independent multicultural broadcasters–in addition to the large conventional media companies.”

ATN believes that any public funding initiative should be inclusive, transparent, and accessible to broadcasters of all sizes that provide meaningful public service and Canadian programming.

The company looks forward to engaging with the Government of Canada and relevant stakeholders to ensure that multicultural broadcasters are fully considered as part of any support framework designed to strengthen Canada’s broadcasting ecosystem.

About ATN-Asian Television Network International Limited 
ATN serves Canada’s diverse cultural communities with over 50 specialty television channels. The Company offers its flagship ATN-HD general interest service along with 7 other general interest channels, 3 sports Channels, 7 news Channels, 5 Bollywood movie channels and a variety of channels that include music, lifestyle, and several regional language channels that includes Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Bengali, Urdu, Gujarati & Marathi. ATN has been a pioneer in the Production of Multicultural Television Programming in Canada. ATN has programming alliances with leading international broadcasters like Sony Entertainment Television, Disney/Reliance- JioStar, CNN News 18, Zee Network, Times Television, B4U, NDTV (Good Times), Republic TV, ABP News Network, Jaya TV, ARY, FOOD FOOD Network and many more.. ATN is also a pioneer broadcaster of Cricket in Canada and has exclusive broadcast rights for various International Cricket Boards. ATN was the first to bring the ICC World Cup of Cricket live across Canada in 1987 and since have exclusively broadcast a large number of Test Matches, One Day Internationals, limited over T-20 games including the Premier of IPL & various T-10 leagues. ATN’s content is also available on Amazon Prime in USA & UK, ATN has its own State Of The Art Production and Digital Broadcast facilities which have also been used by various production companies associated with Netflix, Amazon, CBC and others. ATN Channels are distributed through TELUS, Rogers, BELL, Cogeco, MTS, Eastlink, FUBO & Canadian cable systems alliance.

We rely on safe harbour provision.

New WatsGo Feature: Restore WhatsApp from iCloud Without Uninstalling

HONG KONG, July 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — iToolab WatsGo has introduced a new feature that enables users to restore WhatsApp from iCloud without resetting their iPhone. The update helps users download and check chats, photos, videos, and other WhatsApp data. In addition, users don’t have to deal with complicated recovery procedures. This update makes WhatsApp data restoration from iCloud simpler and gives users an easier way to recover the information that matters most.

Why iToolab WatsGo Stands Out?
iToolab WatsGo is a WhatsApp management solution that supports WhatsApp transfer, backup, restore, and export across Android and iPhone. It also helps users restore WhatsApp from iCloud without uninstalling the app.

Key Features of iToolab WatsGo – Restore WhatsApp from iCloud
Here are some of the WatsGo features that make it simple to restore WhatsApp from iCloud without uninstalling the app or dealing with unnecessary complications.

1. Restore WhatsApp from iCloud Without Uninstalling
Restoring WhatsApp backup from iCloud on iPhone usually requires users to uninstall and reinstall the app before the process. WatsGo removes this hassle by allowing you to restore your WhatsApp backup directly from iCloud. This delivers a faster, more seamless restoration experience with minimal effort.

2. Preview WhatsApp iCloud Backups Before Restoring
WatsGo lets users preview available WhatsApp backups before restoring them, unlike the official method, which restores the entire backup without preview. Users can then select supported chats and media to export to their computers.

3. Ensures Secure, Reliable Data Restore
Since iCloud backups are encrypted, WatsGo never downloads or stores users’ data, helping protect user privacy throughout the entire restore process. The tool maintains data transmission integrity throughout the restore process, so no files are corrupted or lost. It also supports a wide diversity of WhatsApp data types, which gives users a complete restore process.

3 Simple Steps to Restore WhatsApp from iCloud Using WatsGo
To explore how to restore deleted messages in WhatsApp, follow these simple steps:

Install and Launch: Download iToolab WatsGo and choose the “Restore WhatsApp from iCloud” option.Sign in to iCloud: Sign in to iCloud and pick the WhatsApp backup from the list.Choose to Restore Data: Choose the WhatsApp chat data you want to restore and click on “Export to Computer.”
