Recognized for Advancing Equitable, Technology-Enabled Diabetes Care for Medicaid Populations

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Feb. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Circadian Health, a pioneering leader in virtual-first specialty care, has been named a Winner in the 2025 HLTH Foundation‘s 2nd Annual Techquity for Health Case Study Awards for its work in addressing systemic inequities in diabetes care among urban Medicaid populations. This award highlights Circadian’s efforts to bridge the technology divide in diabetes management by expanding access to advanced tools and personalized specialty care for African American and Asian patients in Brooklyn and Queens, New York.

“HLTH Foundation’s Techquity for Health Awards recognize leadership in equitable digital health innovation,” said Janna Guinen, Executive Director of HLTH Foundation. “We’re proud to honor each of our finalists and winners for showing us that a commitment to reducing health disparities at every stage of innovation unlocks the true potential of digital health to deliver better outcomes, stronger patient engagement, and healthcare cost containment.”

Racial disparities in diabetes care persist, with African American and Asian patients experiencing lower adoption rates of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), digital health tools, and newer therapeutics. Implicit and explicit provider biases, as well as systemic barriers, often limit access to intensive disease management, resulting in poorer glycemic control. Circadian Health has developed a virtual-first, technology-enabled care model to address these disparities and ensure that patients have equitable access to the latest advancements in diabetes treatment.

This initiative leverages seamless remote monitoring through cellular-enabled, easy-to-use glucose meters, and when appropriate, CGMs and other connected devices—eliminating the need for WiFi or complex digital platforms. Patients receive risk-stratified, personalized care plans managed by a dedicated nurse care manager who is also a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, with oversight from a nurse practitioner and an endocrinologist. Multilingual technology support and community health workers provide hands-on assistance to help patients navigate and engage with their care. Real-time physiological data review allows for timely interventions, medication adjustments, and targeted education, ensuring that patients receive the right care at the right time. Engagement is tailored to individual comfort levels, with options including text messaging, emails, phone calls, or video visits.

While this program launched in November 2024 and continues to actively engage patients, previous implementations of this model have already demonstrated its effectiveness in improving diabetes management for high-risk Medicaid populations. Key outcomes include:

65% of patients achieving an HbA1c below 9%65% completion rate for diabetes kidney evaluations85%+ medication adherence (statins, hypertension, anti-diabetes medications)Projected 10-point improvement in diabetes distress scores within six months70% completion rate for post-discharge medication reconciliation and follow-up visits15% reduction in diabetes-related emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and readmissions

“As we work to address disparities in diabetes care, we must focus on more than just expanding access—we need to ensure that access is truly equitable,” said Chuck Hector, President and Co-Founder of Circadian Health. “Winning the HLTH Foundation’s Techquity Award is an important recognition of our work, but more importantly, it’s a validation of what’s possible when we pair technology with compassionate, patient-centered care. We’re breaking down barriers so that every patient—regardless of their background, income level, or digital literacy—can receive the high-quality, specialized treatment they deserve.”

Circadian Health is committed to expanding this initiative to additional Medicaid markets and scaling its impact through partnerships with national health plans, employers, and risk-bearing entities. By integrating equitable access to diabetes technology with a compassionate, patient-centric approach, Circadian is not only closing care gaps but also redefining how chronic disease management can be delivered at scale.

Asset manager margins squeezed as infrastructure bill climbs, PwC finds

Infrastructure moves up the strategic agenda as asset managers confront margin pressure

LUXEMBOURG, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Infrastructure is moving from the back office to the centre of asset managers’ strategy. With profit per AuM down 19% since 2018 and projected to fall another 9.1% by 2030, decisions on what to build, buy or access through partners now shape how firms compete, according to PwC’s Global Asset Management Infrastructure: Rethinking the industry’s piping report. 67% say fee compression is limiting their ability to invest.

Spending is also tied to the past: only 23% of asset managers direct most of their technology budget to new capabilities, while 29% spend more than 70% of it maintaining legacy systems.

Surveying 150 asset managers and 50 infrastructure providers, the report finds AI is sharpening these constraints. Some 24% cite data fragmentation and 17% legacy systems as major barriers to scaling AI.

Roland Kastoun, Global Asset and Wealth Management Advisory Leader, PwC, notes: “The industry’s profits per dollar managed have fallen by almost a fifth, and the bill for the pipes keeps rising. The managers who survive the next five years won’t be the ones with the flashiest AI, but rather the ones who fixed the so-called boring stuff first.”

Market data is seen as poor value for money, with 58% ranking it among the most expensive infrastructure layers relative to the value delivered, ahead of regulatory reporting systems (47%) and core technology platforms (46%).

Meanwhile, some 70% of infrastructure providers expect a larger share of industry revenues, while 68% name hyperscale cloud providers as the main emerging threat.

“Seven in ten infrastructure providers expect to take a bigger slice of the pie, which tells you where the power in this industry is quietly shifting,” said Björn Ebert, Financial Services Leader, PwC Luxembourg.

Some 44% favour hybrid sourcing models combining in-house, bought and partnered capabilities, compared with 21% who prefer to buy, 18% to partner and 13% to build in-house.

The report identifies four emerging infrastructure archetypes, namely infrastructure orchestrators, digital and tokenisation platforms, specialist modular providers and integrated asset managers. No single model fits every firm. Each must decide what to own, what to standardise and where a specialist can do the job better. Those who decide early will be better placed to protect margins through 2030.

Temu Partners with Latvian IT Cluster to Help Local Businesses Grow Online

November 3, 2026

RIGA, Latvia, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Temu has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Latvian IT Cluster (Latvijas IT klasteris) to support Latvia’s digital business ecosystem, providing local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with broader access to digital tools, knowledge, and international e-commerce opportunities.

Under the MoU, Temu will collaborate with the Latvian IT Cluster on its programs and activities, host educational webinars and exchange insights with local industry experts. The collaboration brings together Temu’s experience as an international marketplace operator and Latvian IT Cluster’s work helping businesses across sectors adopt digital tools.

Temu and Latvian IT Cluster hosted “The Path to Growth: Navigating E-commerce for European SMEs” on Oct. 20, drawing participants from local businesses across various industries. The webinar covered Temu’s Local Seller Program, logistics and regulatory requirements, and included a Q&A with Temu representatives.

“We are delighted to welcome Temu as a member of the Latvian IT Cluster. The involvement of internationally recognized companies in our ecosystem creates new opportunities for Latvian businesses to gain valuable knowledge, build connections, and strengthen their competitiveness,” said Aiga Irmeja, Chair of the Board at Latvian IT Cluster. “We are pleased that our partnership has already resulted in joint activities exploring e-commerce opportunities in Europe, and we hope this is just the first step towards further joint initiatives that will support the presence of Latvian businesses in the digital economy and international markets.”

The focus on practical guidance and direct dialogue responds to the challenges of complexity and connection, two of the key barriers to growth identified in Temu’s recent Small Business Insights Report, which was informed by meetings and discussions with over 100 European trade organizations.

“We want more small businesses in Latvia to benefit from the opportunities that e-commerce creates,” said a Temu spokesperson. “Working with Latvian IT Cluster brings us closer to local entrepreneurs, helping us understand their needs and support their ambitions to reach new customers and grow across Europe.”

Temu opened its Local Seller Program to businesses in Latvia in October 2025. In March 2026, it signed a logistics MoU with national postal operator Latvijas Pasts to support delivery and returns for local sellers.

About Temu

Temu is a global e-commerce platform connecting consumers with millions of manufacturers, brands and business partners. Operating in more than 90 markets worldwide, Temu is committed to providing affordable, high-quality products that enable customers to live better lives.
