on

30 scholarships of $2,500 each available to students pursuing careers in the skilled trades – applications open July 10

MELVILLE, N.Y., July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SupplyHouse, a leading online distributor of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical supplies, has announced the launch of its annual Track to the Trades Scholarship program. Now in its third year, the program has expanded to a $75,000 scholarship pool, offering 30 awards of $2,500 each to students and early-career professionals pursuing careers in the skilled trades.

Applications open July 10, 2026, through the Foundation’s scholarship partner Bold.org, with a deadline of November 10, 2026. The program is open to trade school students, high school seniors pursuing the trades, and apprentices and early-career tradespeople nationwide.

The scholarship is funded by SupplyHouse and administered through the SupplyHouse Foundation, the company’s philanthropic arm launched in 2026 to create access and opportunity for the next generation of tradespeople — the professionals who keep homes, businesses, and communities running.

“SupplyHouse was built by and for the trades. The Foundation is how we put that commitment into action and Track to the Trades is the clearest expression of it. Financial barriers should never be what stops someone from pursuing a trades career, and we’re proud to grow this program in Year 3 to reach even more students.” says Kaylin, Foundation President and SupplyHouse CMO.

Introduced in 2024, Track to the Trades has grown into a recognized annual program within SupplyHouse’s broader philanthropic strategy. Scholarship funds are designed to offset real costs that create barriers for trades students — including tuition, tools, certifications, and training. Recipients are selected through Bold.org’s platform based on their commitment to a trades career and demonstrated need.

The program’s expansion reflects both the success of its first two years and SupplyHouse’s belief that the skilled trades industry deserves sustained, meaningful investment. With demand for qualified tradespeople continuing to outpace supply, the company sees education funding as a direct contribution to the long-term health of an industry it has served for over two decades.

New capability delivers more natural, adaptive, and human-centered voice-guided healthcare experiences

LOS ANGELES, July 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — DRAI Health today announced the launch of a new personalized voice interaction capability within heyDRAI, its AI-powered healthcare platform. Powered by advanced SpaceXAI technology, this innovation enables more natural, expressive, and context-aware voice-guided healthcare interactions, further advancing DRAI Health’s mission to deliver truly patient-centric digital care.

“By integrating SpaceXAI technology into heyDRAI, we are enabling a more natural, adaptive, and emotionally intelligent interface that enhances how patients interact with healthcare information.” said Gor Galstyan, CTO of DRAI Health.

The new capability transforms AI-guided consultations from static, text-based exchanges into dynamic, conversational experiences tailored to each individual user. Patients can select from a range of voice styles—such as calm and reassuring, clear and clinical, or energetic and motivational—allowing interactions to align with their personal preferences and emotional needs.

Unlike conventional text-to-speech systems that simply vocalize scripted content, heyDRAI’s SpaceXAI-powered voice interaction is designed to understand conversational context, adjust tone dynamically, and deliver responses in a more human-like manner. This creates a more engaging and intuitive experience that helps patients feel more comfortable, attentive, and connected throughout their healthcare journey.

Each user’s preferred voice profile is retained across interactions, ensuring continuity and personalization over time, while maintaining flexibility for users to modify their preferences as needed.

Technology Differentiation Through SpaceXAI Integration

The integration of SpaceXAI technology enables a new class of voice interaction that goes beyond traditional AI voice systems by incorporating:

Context-aware response generation rather than static script delivery

Adaptive tone modulation based on conversational flow and user engagement

Improved reasoning and coherence in multi-step healthcare interactions

More natural conversational pacing, reducing cognitive load for users

These capabilities are particularly important in healthcare, where clarity, empathy, and precision directly impact patient understanding and engagement.

Leadership Commentary

“Healthcare conversations are deeply personal. Our goal is to make interactions with AI feel less transactional and more human,” said Gor Galstyan, CTO of DRAI Health. “By integrating SpaceXAI technology into heyDRAI, we are enabling a more natural, adaptive, and emotionally intelligent interface that enhances how patients interact with healthcare information.”

Enhancing the Patient-Centric Healthcare Experience

The introduction of personalized voice interaction represents a significant step forward in DRAI Health’s broader vision to create a continuous, patient-centered healthcare experience spanning:

Wellness and preventive care

Symptom assessment and early intervention

Acute and chronic condition support

Post-acute recovery and ongoing monitoring

By embedding advanced voice interaction into the consultation flow, heyDRAI improves accessibility for a wide range of users, including those who prefer voice-first interaction or may have difficulty engaging with traditional text-based interfaces.

Looking Ahead

The personalized voice capability is now available within heyDRAI and will continue to evolve with additional features, including deeper personalization, multilingual support, and enhanced clinical interaction workflows.

About DRAI Health

DRAI Health is developing AI-powered healthcare technologies designed to transform how patients, providers, and health systems interact with medical information. Through platforms such as heyDRAI, the company focuses on intelligent intake, guided consultation, patient engagement, and clinical decision support.

DRAI Health’s mission is to make healthcare more accessible, personalized, and human-centered, leveraging advanced artificial intelligence combined with real-world clinical insight.

PrimeBOT Brings Personal Robotics to the UN’s AI for Good Summit in Geneva

Published

on

By

GENEVA, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PrimeBOT, a robotics brand, appeared at the United Nations’ AI for Good Global Summit. The summit, organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) with over 50 UN agencies including UNESCO, explores how AI can serve human welfare. PrimeBOT defines a new category: the Personal Robot – robots designed for homes and daily life, not production lines, that anyone can own, program, and create with. PrimeBOT came not to showcase technical specs, but to join a global conversation on education, inclusion, and human potential.

Personal robots will reshape how AI is taught. Imagine a child learning to code by teaching a real robot to move and respond. PrimeBOT Q1 offers a developer console for young learners. Children start with block-based programming to choreograph movements, expressions, and conversational responses – turning Q1 into a companion that listens and speaks. They can then convert blocks into Python code and train AI models to recognize gestures or objects, making the entire machine learning cycle tangible. Programming becomes a conversation with a robot, not abstract syntax. PrimeBOT envisions Q1 as an AI learning companion for every family – not replacing teachers or parents, but making education hands-on and playful.

PrimeBOT’s vision is collaboration and integration – robots understanding human needs and augmenting creativity. The brand partners with youth and educational institutions globally, helping people see technology as a connector, not a divider. At the UN, PrimeBOT chose education over spectacle. In its view, technology must let the next generation grow as creators of AI, not just consumers.

PrimeBOT is in dialogue with educational and non-profit organizations across North America and Europe to explore how personal robots can support youth AI literacy. This is a patient journey – not a product announcement, but a shared exploration with educators, parents, and children. The future of personal robots is not something to be defined alone – it will be built together.
