RACINE, Wis., Feb. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Modine (NYSE: MOD), a leader in innovative heating solutions in the HVAC industry, has announced the launch of the MEW, a new corrosion-resistant electric unit heater that is designed to be used in non-hazardous washdown and corrosive environments. This new unit provides a heating option for use in the farming and agriculture, food and beverage production, car wash, oil and gas, petrochemical and dairy industries.

This is the latest product launch that expands the company’s electric heater offering to meet the needs and demands of customers. The MEW fills the market demand between Modine’s full line of commercial electric heaters, HER/VE/PTE, and its top-tier explosion-proof offering, HEX.

The MEW is the fifth new electric product Modine has brought to market in the past 12 months. With the addition of the Amp Dawg electric heater, MES no-light infrared electric heater, MEQ light commercial electric infrared heater and the MEL heavy-duty infrared electric heater, Modine continues to provide customers options for lower carbon emissions heating or an alternative for those who do not have access to natural or propane gas.

“Modine is uniquely qualified to provide an array of heating solutions that solve our customers’ heating needs no matter the environment,” said Jon Schlemmer, Vice President and General Manager of Modine’s Heating business. “The Modine® MEW is a new generation of NEMA 4X corrosion-resistant heater for those highly corrosive or washdown areas. With the launch of this new unit, we are empowering contractors by providing a state-of-the-art heating solution that can be applied where other products in the market fall short.”

“The MEW is another step for Modine as we continue establishing ourselves as the leader of innovative heating solutions in the HVAC industry by expanding our product catalog,” Schlemmer added.

The MEW provides NEMA 4X protection against water penetration for longer life in corrosive or washdown environments, and the Epoxy-coated fan blade contributes to longer operational life. In addition, the stainless-steel elements add corrosion protection and improved heat distribution.

Additional features and benefits include:

16-gauge stainless-steel cabinet that offers industrial-grade durability.120V controls that allow for better contractor pull-in reliability.Increased safety with stainless steel temperature high limit.Optional built-in features that allow for greater installation flexibility and U.S. Coast Guard Marine Duty listing.A stainless-steel wall/ceiling mounting kit for highly flexible mounting options.

Function Now Connects to Meta’s Muse, Allowing Members to Bring Their Personal Health Data to the New AI Agent

Published

Members can securely bring their Function health data into Muse to better understand their health and personalize their AI experience.

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Function today announced that members can securely connect their Function health data to Muse, Meta’s new personal AI agent. Muse joins ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity in Function’s growing network of AI connectors, giving members the ability to bring their personal health data into the AI experiences they choose to use.

Muse can use a member’s Function insights as personal context to help them understand their health, build and adapt plans around their goals, track progress, and follow through over time, while members remain in control of their data.

“Your AI should know your biology,” said Jonathan Swerdlin, CEO and Co-founder of Function. “By connecting Function health data to Muse, people can bring a living picture of their health into the AI platforms they use every day. We are entering a world where people understand their bodies in far greater detail and increasingly rely on AI to make decisions. Bringing those together makes AI dramatically more useful.”

How it works

Members authorize the connection from inside Meta, through the same account controls they already use to manage their account data. Once connected, Muse draws on their lab results and clinician-reviewed summaries to inform the goals and tasks a member brings to it.

Ask Muse how a lab result compares to a member’s optimal range before deciding whether to act on itHave Muse build or adjust a plan toward a health goal, using a member’s own Function insights as contextLet Muse flag when it’s time to schedule a member’s next Function lab visit, and follow up until it’s on the calendar

The Function health connector will roll out in the coming weeks. To learn more about Function or become a member, visit www.functionhealth.com.

A groundbreaker in its category, Function has changed the game by making lab testing, MRI and CT, and longitudinal health data accessible, understandable, and actionable—serving millions. Function’s Medical Intelligence Lab™ (MI Lab™) is leveraging a dedicated clinical team to develop a continuous learning system that helps its members see, understand, and act on their biology over time. Members receive access to 160+ lab tests—including biannual testing—for just $365/year, equivalent to $1 per day, covering the heart, hormones, thyroid, liver, kidneys, heavy metal exposures, nutrient levels, inflammation, potential cancer signals, and more. Each member’s results are integrated into an intelligent, personalized interface designed to support powerfully informed decision-making. Function members can also access (for an additional cost) MRI and CT that are designed to see signs of cancer and hundreds of other conditions. Function believes everyone should have the power to own their health.
