HAPPY HEALTH RECEIVES FDA CLEARANCE FOR HAPPY RING, REVOLUTIONARY CLINICAL-GRADE SMART RING AND COMPREHENSIVE DIGITAL HEALTH PLATFORM

Published

on

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Happy Health, an innovative health technology company based in Austin, TX, has received FDA clearance for its groundbreaking consumer-focused platform designed to bring clinical-grade healthcare directly into the home. At the heart of this revolution is the Happy Ring – the first and only truly wearable medical device that seamlessly combines medical accuracy with all-day comfort.

“Accuracy Meets Wearability: The Only Way Forward”
In the world of healthcare, harmonizing medical accuracy with consumer wearability has always been a challenge – one that Happy Health has finally overcome. The Happy Ring is designed to monitor key health metrics such as sleep, blood oxygen, heart rate, activity, temperature, brain activity, and more – all while fitting comfortably on your finger. With a near-indestructible, diamond-hard ceramic design, the Happy Ring has been recognized by the IDSA with its prestigious Design Award.

“If it’s not comfortable, people won’t wear it. If it’s not accurate, the data is useless,” says Dr. Dustin Freckleton, CEO of Happy Health. “We’re inundated today with wearable devices that are invalidated and inaccurate, leading to poor decision-making and, ultimately, anxiety. Imagine driving down a remote highway with a fuel gauge that’s constantly fluctuating and faulty. Instead of providing reassurance, it leaves you frustrated. This is the reality for many people relying on today’s wearables for health decision making. We’re here to change that.”

With the Happy Ring, consumers now have ‘delivered-to-your-door’ access to an FDA approved, medical-grade device they can rely on, alongside an FDA-approved bathroom weight scale, forming a complete at-home monitoring platform that is as simple to use as it is elegant.

“Data + Doctors: The Future of Healthcare”
Happy Health’s platform goes beyond just the Happy Ring and associated devices. It’s a comprehensive diagnostic and ongoing clinical monitoring solution that uses personalized machine learning algorithms and generative AI to integrate data into a clinical context where it matters most. With Happy, data becomes more than numbers on a screen – it’s translated into actionable notifications and alerts sent directly to patients and their care teams. This full-circle approach allows individuals to receive coordinated clinical monitoring for a wide range of health conditions – from sleep apnea and heart disease to diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and more.

“Combining devices with doctors is critically important,” continues Dr. Freckleton. “Healthcare is not monitoring a single biomarker or treating a single condition. We’re ensuring patients can receive fully coordinated clinical monitoring of nearly any medical condition, headache-free, so they can focus on their health without the hassle.”

“Flipping the Script: Patient-Driven, Doctor-Powered Healthcare”
This unique approach allows Happy Health to flip the script on traditional healthcare by putting the consumer first. For too long, healthcare has been driven exclusively by physicians who dictate what healthcare services patients can access and when. Happy Health’s platform empowers individuals with health data and clinical expertise, literally at their fingertips, allowing them to take charge of their own health journey right from the comfort of their home.

Dr. Param Dedhia, MD, an integrative sleep doctor & longevity expert emphasized this shift: “We’re all familiar with the phrase: ‘the doctor will see you now.’ But what if instead it were ‘the patient will see you now.’ What a difference that would make! Happy Health is flipping the script by putting the patient in control, which is where they’ve always belonged. That’s a powerful paradigm shift that places individuals at the center of their health journey, offering convenience and access like never before, while also delivering significant cost savings for the health system.”

“Introducing Happy Sleep: The First of Many Clinical Programs”
Happy Health’s first clinical program, Happy Sleep, is set to launch later this year, offering an all-encompassing approach to sleep health. The Happy Ring will be available directly to consumers at launch through the Happy Sleep website as well as through partnerships with hospital systems, physician groups, and other medical service providers. For partnership inquiries, please contact partnerships@happyring.com.

About Happy Health
Based in Austin, TX, Happy Health is pioneering the future of healthcare by creating a consumer-first healthcare experience that is patient-driven and doctor-powered. Through its novel platform, Happy Health empowers individuals to take charge of their health with accurate, actionable data and clinical expertise, right at home.

DELTEC HOMES LAUNCHES 360° ELEMENTS: A NEW WAY TO BUILD HURRICANE READY ROUND HOMES

Published

on

By

Five predesigned models bring flexible floor plans to the panoramic views, natural light, and hurricane resistance Deltec is known for

ASHEVILLE, N.C., Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Deltec Homes, a leader in hurricane-resistant round home design, today introduced 360° Elements, a new line of five predesigned homes that pairs the company’s distinctive round living spaces with rectangular wings that offer more traditional room layouts.

Inspired by one of Deltec’s most requested custom home styles, 360° Elements brings more flexible floor plans to round living. Like Deltec’s best-selling 360° Signature line, 360° Elements offers a simpler, faster, and more cost-effective path to a hurricane-resilient home than a fully custom design.

At the heart of each 360° Elements home is an open, light-filled round living space, where vaulted ceilings and windows following the curve bring the surrounding landscape into everyday life. Rectangular wings add space and flexibility for the way each homeowner lives.

“People are drawn to Deltec homes not just for their resilience, but for how they feel—the light, the openness, and the way the views become part of everyday life,” said Meg Gore, CEO of Deltec Homes. “With 360° Elements, we’re making that experience work for even more people. The wings give homeowners additional flexibility for the spaces they use every day, while the round living area remains at the heart of the home.”

More ways to make round living your own

The five models—Mesa, Grove, Summit, Headland, and Crest—offer a range of floor plans, with options for entries, private suites, extra bedrooms, and attached garages.

360° Elements builds on Deltec’s decades of high-wind experience. Each home combines Deltec’s radial structural system in the round living space with high-strength materials and strong connections. Deltec homes have endured direct hits from some of the most destructive hurricanes on record, including Andrew, Katrina, Michael, Dorian, and Ian. In fact, Deltec round homes built over the last 30 years have a documented 99.9% survival rate. In 2024, Hurricane Helene devastated Deltec’s hometown of Asheville, demonstrating that hurricane impacts can reach far inland—even into mountain communities.

The standard 360° Elements structural shell is designed for wind speeds up to 130 mph, with upgrades available up to 190 mph, depending on the design and location. Manufactured in Asheville using Deltec’s panelized building system, 360° Elements homes are designed for energy efficiency as well as strength. 360° Elements is available in all 50 states and the Caribbean. To explore the models and floor plans, visit deltechomes.com/360-elements.

Launch celebration: Savings up to $30,000

To celebrate the launch, Deltec is offering savings of up to $30,000 on new home packages. Place a deposit by November 26, 2026. Restrictions apply; see full offer details at deltechomes.com/offer-elements-launch-promo.

New solution helps energy utilities and equipment manufacturers manage trusted device identities across complex, multi-vendor infrastructure

ASHBURN, Va., Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OmniTrust today announced the launch of GridAuth, a device identity and trust management platform for energy utilities and equipment manufacturers deploying secure Wi-SUN® Field Area Networks (FAN), Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), and connected-grid infrastructure. The announcement coincides with the Wi-SUN Alliance Fall Members Meeting in North Carolina.

Energy utilities are managing increasingly complex networks of smart meters, routers, gateways, and other connected devices, often supplied by multiple manufacturers and expected to remain deployed for decades. As these networks expand, so do the cybersecurity risks and regulatory demands surrounding critical infrastructure protection and supply chain security. Establishing trusted device identities at manufacturing is only the beginning. Maintaining secure communications and operational control throughout each device’s lifecycle is essential to protecting critical infrastructure.

GridAuth bridges the gap between device identity established during manufacturing and the long-term trust requirements of utility operators. The platform helps manufacturers securely provision devices while enabling utilities to maintain visibility and control across complex, multi-vendor networks.

Key capabilities include:

Trusted Device Identity: Establish and track device identities from manufacturing through deployment.Secure Provisioning: Simplify certificate provisioning and enrollment for Wi-SUN and connected infrastructure devices.Multi-Vendor Trust: Support consistent identity practices across equipment manufacturers.Utility-Controlled Trust: Enable utility-defined trust policies and operational credentials.Lifecycle Visibility: Maintain visibility into device certificates and provisioning history.Cryptographic Agility: Prepare for evolving security requirements and post-quantum cryptography.

“Utilities are responsible for protecting infrastructure that may operate for decades, while manufacturers, technologies, and cybersecurity requirements change,” said Daniel Fynaardt, Vice President of Software Development at OmniTrust. “GridAuth is designed to give utilities greater visibility and control over device trust while simplifying secure provisioning for manufacturers. Our goal is to make trusted device identity easier to manage across the connected grid.”

GridAuth is powered by OmniTrust PKI (OTPKI), which supports certificate issuance, enrollment, validation, revocation, CA hierarchy management, and cryptographic key operations. Together, they provide the trust infrastructure needed for secure manufacturing, device onboarding, and long-term lifecycle management.

OmniTrust invites energy utilities, equipment manufacturers, and Wi-SUN ecosystem participants to learn more about GridAuth and share their requirements at GridAuth.com.

About OmniTrust

OmniTrust secures the connected world by delivering verifiable, enforceable trust across the entire lifecycle of devices, digital identities, and AI agents. As the leader in Trust Lifecycle Management, OmniTrust ensures security from design and provisioning through operation, update, and retirement.

Global customers, including many Fortune 100 companies, rely on OmniTrust to protect more than 2 billion devices and secure more than 3 billion software updates annually. OmniTrust enables end-to-end visibility, policy-driven enforcement and quantum-resilient cryptography across complex ecosystems in automotive, aerospace and defense, finance, healthcare and other safety-critical, regulated industries.
