BRISTOL, Pa., Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BioVid, a leading life science consultancy, today announced the launch of Tumor Worlds™, a proprietary strategic intelligence system that helps pharmaceutical companies anticipate how oncology markets respond to new evidence. Integrating oncology expertise, behavioral science, and BioVid’s proprietary CIAIRA™ AI platform, Tumor Worlds™ moves beyond descriptive market research to provide an early signal model of physician decision-making. The launch begins with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), with Prostate and Pancreatic Cancer to follow, and full portfolio expansion planned through 2026.

Clinical evidence now moves faster than most markets can absorb, and one-size-fits-all launch playbooks weren’t built for that pace. Tumor Worlds™ maps the “gravitational forces” of each oncology market, identifying the structural conditions that govern how new evidence is adopted in clinical practice.

“The industry is trapped in a ‘rearview mirror’ approach, relying on historical data to predict what physicians will do next,” said Peggy Hirtle, CEO of BioVid. “We’ve mapped the sociotechnical forces — social norms, institutional constraints, cognitive heuristics — that drive physician behavior, so clients can anticipate where market change will accelerate, stall, or fail before it appears in prescription data.”

“Success in oncology is no longer just about having the best data; it’s about understanding the social and structural reality of the physician,” said Meredith Jacobetz, PhD, Senior Director, Oncology Center of Excellence at BioVid. “Tumor Worlds™ lets us build an actionable picture of the world an asset inhabits before that reality shows up in the data.”

Tumor Worlds™ includes four core suites, powered by a sociotechnical engine mapping behavioral rules across 30+ tumor types:

World Dynamics Suite: Maps the clinical and competitive landscape shaping how fast a market can move.

Treater Insights Suite: Maps physician roles and influence networks, from awareness to prescribing.

Cognitive Insights Suite: Surfaces the psychological drivers behind physician decisions and where messaging fails.

Lifecycle Intelligence Suite: Calibrates risk flags, competitive playbook, and resource allocation across an asset’s life.

CIAIRA™: BioVid’s proprietary AI engine synthesizes data across all four suites to identify leading indicators of physician sentiment as the market evolves.

About BioVid

BioVid is a life science consultancy applying behavioral science and AI to commercial and market access strategy, marrying market opportunity with behavioral insight for clients.

Foreclosure Starts Increase 10 Percent Year Over Year; Completed Foreclosures (REOs) Rises 23 Percent Annually

IRVINE, Calif., August 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ATTOM, the leading provider of property data, AI-powered intelligence, and real estate analytics solutions, today released its July 2026 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, which shows there were a total of 39,906 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings— default notices, scheduled auctions or bank repossessions — up 1 percent from a month ago and up 10 percent from a year ago.

“The increase in foreclosure starts and completed foreclosures compared to last year shows that financial pressures remain a factor for some homeowners,” said Rob Barber, CEO at ATTOM. “However, the broader context is important. Foreclosure activity remains relatively low by historical standards. While annual increases have become more common, current volumes indicate that the market remains relatively resilient overall.”

Nevada, South Carolina, and Florida record worst foreclosure rates in July
In July 2026, one in every 3,603 housing units nationwide had a foreclosure filing. Nevada led the nation with one foreclosure filing for every 1,703 housing units. South Carolina ranked second (one in every 2,085 housing units), followed by Florida (one in every 2,232 housing units), Delaware (one in every 2,579 housing units), and Texas (one in every 2,653 housing units).

Among metro areas with populations of 200,000 or more, Punta Gorda, FL recorded the worst foreclosure rate in July 2026, with one filing for every 899 housing units. Following Punta Gorda were Killeen, TX (one in every 1,359); Las Vegas, NV (one in every 1,394); Vallejo, CA (one in every 1,432 housing units); and Lakeland, FL (one in every 1,501).

Texas, Florida, and California post most foreclosure starts nationwide
Lenders initiated the foreclosure process on 26,648 U.S. properties in July 2026, up 2 percent from the previous month and up 10 percent from a year ago.

Texas led the nation in foreclosure starts in July 2026 (3,306 foreclosure starts); followed by Florida (3,277 foreclosure starts); California (2,540 foreclosure starts); Illinois (1,243 foreclosure starts); and Georgia (1,217 foreclosure starts).

Contrary to the national trend, among metropolitan areas with a population of at least 200,000 with at least 20 foreclosure starts, the following saw the largest year-over-year declines in foreclosure starts in July 2026: Tulsa, OK (decrease from 138 foreclosure starts in July 2025 to 41 in July 2026); Spokane, WA (decrease from 43 to 20 foreclosure starts); Fayetteville, NC (decrease from 62 to 31 foreclosure starts); Toledo, OH (decrease from 98 to 49 foreclosure starts); and Greeley, CO (decrease from 47 to 24 foreclosure starts).

Completed foreclosures stay elevated compared to last year
Lenders repossessed 4,764 U.S. properties through completed foreclosures (REOs) in July 2026, virtually unchanged from the previous month but up 23 percent from a year ago.

States with the highest number of REOs in July 2026 were Texas (1,265 REOs); California (616 REOs); North Carolina (299 REOs); Maryland (272 REOs); and Virginia (263 REOs).

Those major metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) with a population greater than 200,00 that saw the highest number of REOs in July 2026 included: Houston, TX (405 REOs); Dallas, TX (223 REOs); Baltimore, MD (164 REOs); Washington, DC (131 REOs); and San Antonio, TX (128 REOs).

Key takeaways from the July 2026 foreclosure data
ATTOM’s July 2026 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report shows that 39,906 properties nationwide had a foreclosure filing, up 1 percent from the prior month and 10 percent from July 2025. Foreclosure starts increased 10 percent year over year to 26,648, while completed foreclosures (REOs) rose 23 percent to 4,764, extending a broader trend of annual increases. Despite the upward movement, foreclosure activity remains below pre-pandemic norms.

Report methodology
The ATTOM U.S. Foreclosure Market Report provides a count of the total number of properties with at least one foreclosure filing entered into the ATTOM Data Warehouse during the month and quarter. Some foreclosure filings entered into the database during the quarter may have been recorded in the previous quarter. Data is collected from more than 3,000 counties nationwide, and those counties account for more than 99 percent of the U.S. population. ATTOM’s report incorporates documents filed in all three phases of foreclosure: Default — Notice of Default (NOD) and Lis Pendens (LIS); Auction — Notice of Trustee Sale and Notice of Foreclosure Sale (NTS and NFS); and Real Estate Owned, or REO properties (that have been foreclosed on and repurchased by a bank). For the annual, midyear and quarterly reports, if more than one type of foreclosure document is received for a property during the timeframe, only the most recent filing is counted in the report. The annual, midyear, quarterly and monthly reports all check if the same type of document was filed against a property previously. If so, and if that previous filing occurred within the estimated foreclosure timeframe for the state where the property is located, the report does not count the property in the current year, quarter or month.

Partnership brings together indoor first autonomous drone technology and trusted location intelligence to help security teams and responders better understand critical incidents inside complex facilities.

ST. CLOUD, Minn. and LIBERTYVILLE, Ill., Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GeoComm, a leader in public safety grade location intelligence, and Brecourt Solutions, developer of the iDFR™ Indoor Drone as First Responder platform, today announced a partnership to connect indoor autonomous drone response with public safety grade location intelligence.

The partnership is designed to help security teams and first responders gain faster, more actionable awareness during critical incidents inside buildings and other GPS-denied environments. By combining Brecourt’s mobile, real-time indoor threat awareness with GeoComm’s trusted mapping and location intelligence, organizations can better understand what is happening, where it is happening, and how to support a more informed response.

Brecourt’s iDFR™ platform combines indoor drones with computer vision, live video streaming, and remote operation, designed to work alongside a customer’s existing platforms and workflows, whatever their use case. The drones are installed and pre-positioned inside the facility on a dedicated charging platform, always ready for immediate deployment — infrastructure, not equipment brought in by responders. The drones are remotely piloted by a trained operator — operating from the customer’s own security operations center or through a remote monitoring provider, with AI Assist, reducing operator workload while piloting the system in indoor and close-quarters environments. Beyond security, the platform supports the broader mission of facility teams — safety, logistics, inventory, building management, and more. Designed for GPS-denied indoor environments, the platform gives operators a fast, mobile source of real-time visual information during critical incidents.

GeoComm’s public safety grade location intelligence provides the indoor mapping and location context needed to help translate that visual intelligence into a clearer operational picture. Together, the technologies can help connect detection, deployment, tracking, location, and response within the same critical-incident workflow.

“Inside a complex facility, seeing an incident is only part of the challenge. Responders also need to understand exactly where that incident is unfolding and have location information they can trust,” said Mac McElvaney, Chief Product and Innovation Officer at GeoComm. “By pairing Brecourt’s indoor drone capabilities with GeoComm’s public safety grade location intelligence, we can help create a more connected path from real-time awareness to informed response.”

The partnership expands the role of location intelligence within emerging autonomous security workflows. Rather than treating drone video, threat detection, indoor mapping, and response coordination as separate capabilities, GeoComm and Brecourt are working to create a more unified operational picture for security teams and public safety professionals.

“First responders make life saving decisions with the information they have available. By combining GeoComm’s indoor mapping with Brecourt’s rapid indoor robotic response, we’re helping deliver better information faster so responders can act with greater confidence when every second counts,” said Jeff Ross, Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Brecourt Solutions.

About Brecourt Solutions
Brecourt Solutions is a technology company advancing how organizations protect and inspect complex indoor environments. Founded by former special operations veterans and technology leaders, Brecourt develops robotic systems designed to extend human reach, improve situational awareness, and reduce the time and risk associated with responding to problems inside buildings.

Brecourt’s flagship platform, Indoor Drone as a First Responder (iDFR™), provides a prepositioned aerial capability that can deploy in seconds for security response, inspections, incident assessment, and other operational needs. By combining robotics, remote operations, intelligent software, and purpose-built indoor infrastructure, Brecourt is making difficult, dangerous, and time-consuming indoor tasks faster, safer, and easier to accomplish.
