The new collaboration reduces wait times for individuals who need care and delivers savings for millions of people who are enrolled in tax-free FSAs and HSAs

DALLAS, May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Health-E Commerce, the parent brand to FSA and HSA Store, the first and leading online stores that sell only products and telehealth services that are eligible for flexible spending account (FSA) and health savings account (HSA) use, announced today a new collaboration that makes virtual mental health and dermatology care from Sesame available on FSA Store and HSA Store. Sesame is the company that offers Americans quality, convenient health care at half the typical price, making it ideal for cash-pay patients and a great solution for those with FSAs or HSAs.

The collaboration expands Health-E Commerce’s footprint in guaranteed-eligible telehealth services, empowering consumers to invest their tax-free healthcare funds in personalized treatment for holistic mental health and dermatology needs.

“It can take weeks or even months to get an appointment with a specialist, such as a dermatologist or mental health provider, due to continued healthcare provider shortages, but the growth in telehealth can alleviate this problem in many practice areas,” said Keri Kaiser, chief revenue officer for Health-E Commerce. “Our new collaboration with Sesame delivers on our mission to give consumers as many options as possible to address their unique health needs in a timely, cost-effective manner.”

As a result of this collaboration, individuals and families who are enrolled in an FSA or HSA can access affordable treatment from thousands of licensed Sesame providers covering all 50 United States. Dermatology services include custom treatment plans and prescriptions for conditions such as acne, eczema, and rosacea, all starting at $59 a month. Mental health services provide unlimited messaging and video visits with a dedicated and qualified provider for only $79 a month. Most Sesame services are eligible to be used with FSA and HSA funds and allow individuals to skip lengthy prior authorization processes and even longer wait times that come with traditional, in-person care.

This launch comes at a time when consumer demand for flexible, affordable care has never been higher. Sesame leverages classic marketplace dynamics to  reshape healthcare delivery by requiring clinicians to compete on quality, accessibility and price. Virtual consultations lead to convenience and privacy for patients, allowing them to access care from anywhere, at any time. As most Americans continue to seek smarter and more affordable ways to manage their health and budgets, Sesame’s easy-to-use platform removes barriers and expands possibilities for proactive management of individualized healthcare needs.

“The marketplace effect of Sesame has very tangible benefits. Simply stated, when clinicians compete, patients win,” said Michael DiLorenzo, Sesame’s chief marketing officer. “By working with Health-E Commerce, Sesame is extending access to millions of individuals and families who are covered by FSAs and HSAs, and helping them put their tax-free health dollars to work in ways that matter most to them.”

Sesame has been ranked the #1 overall telehealth provider by Healthline five consecutive years and was named “Best for Doctor Choice” by Forbes (2023-2025). The platform has earned widespread recognition for its user-friendly interface, which allows patients to choose their providers, complete virtual visits, and access same-day prescription refills – all from the comfort of their home.

“What If We Had This in 2020?” Data Viz 4 Good Bridges the Fortune 100 Data Gap for the Social Sector

Published

By

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Data Viz 4 Good (DV4G) today announced the launch of its ImpactIQ platform, a breakthrough SaaS solution transforming how the social sector visualizes mission-critical data.

For founders Tyra Jean and Vanessa Francesca Ortega, both Ronald E. McNair Baccalaureate Scholars, the mission began with a pivotal question: “What if we had Data Viz 4 Good at Syracuse University back in 2020?”

CEO Tyra Jean—a former Public Policy & International Affairs Fellow at UC Berkeley and current D.S.W. candidate at the University of Southern California—developed the concept after bridging two vastly different worlds. “I worked as a data consultant for Fortune 100 companies and saw firsthand the massive gap in data infrastructure across the nonprofit sector,” said Jean. “We’re bringing enterprise-grade technology to the organizations that need it most.”

This vision, combined with the duo’s technical pedigree, has positioned them as emerging leaders in the next generation of AI-powered social infrastructure and frontrunners for Forbes’ 30 Under 30.

The platform’s technical moat is anchored by the COO Vanessa Francesca Ortega — Posse Alumni, SU Remembrance Scholar, and Newhouse’s Dean Branham Scholar. She is the founder & CEO of Civic Trust Systems, the core operating system powering municipal-scale AI platforms, including HellogovAI Inc.

“ImpactIQ is built on infrastructure originally designed to power secure, large-scale government service delivery,” said Ortega. “Through Civic Trust Systems, I developed the AI delivery model and user experience architecture that enables platforms like Hellogov. We are now applying that same level of security and privacy to the social sector.”

By leveraging Civic Trust Systems, DV4G delivers government-grade security, privacy-first data handing, and scalable AI intelligence— without the complexity of cost of traditional enterprise systems.

As a free resource for the sector, the founders co-host a DV4G Podcast on Instagram (@DataViz4GoodHQ). The next episode explores how ImpactIQ’s privacy-first architecture not only protects sensitive community data but also strengthens grant readiness and institutional trust.

DV4G is currently scaling ImpactIQ for global researchers, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations seeking to modernize how they measure and communicate impact.

Pirelli further strengthens its commitment to the country. Investment and output expansion details will be communicated in the coming months following the finalization of the development plans

MILAN and WASHINGTON, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Pirelli is reinforcing its long-term commitment to the United States with a key step in its product and industrial strategy. The Georgia plant, already dedicated to the most technologically advanced products for the U.S. market—both in the High-Value segment and in Motorsport—will be further enhanced by the production of connected tires featuring Cyber™ Tyre technology. This development highlights the strategic importance of the U.S. for Pirelli’s global growth roadmap, strengthening the company’s integrated industrial and technological presence in the country.

The announcement comes as Pirelli participates in the SelectUSA Investment Summit, the flagship event promoted by the U.S. Department of Commerce, where Cyber™ Tyre is being showcased as a core innovation shaping the future of smart mobility. 

Cyber™ Tyre is the world’s first hardware-and-software system capable of collecting data and information from sensors embedded in tires, processing them through Pirelli’s proprietary software and algorithms, and, by communicating in real time with the vehicle’s electronics, enabling new functionalities integrated with driving and control systems to enhance the driving experience and increase safety levels, as well as supporting connected infrastructure.

In a highly advanced market such as the United States, where digital and smart mobility solutions are rapidly expanding, Cyber™ Tyre represents a distinctive competitive advantage for Pirelli.

At SelectUSA, Cyber™ Tyre was showcased at the Georgia State booth, a particularly meaningful presence given Pirelli’s industrial footprint in the state, where it has been established for more than 20 years.

“The start of Cyber™ Tyre production in our Rome, Georgia plant is a significant milestone for Pirelli in this country,” said Claudio Zanardo, CEO of Pirelli North America. “It reflects our commitment to bringing advanced technologies like Cyber™ Tyre closer to the market, further strengthening our industrial footprint and innovation capabilities in the United States.”

To further enhance the role of Rome as a high-tech production site, Pirelli is finalizing the introduction of the latest version of the MIRS (Modular Integrated Robotized System) production process. It will be the most advanced manufacturing process for high-end, premium production within the entire Pirelli Group, and is exclusive to the Georgia factory. The process further enhances robotized production capabilities, increasing productivity, flexibility, and quality.

It is a highly digitalized system that enables a direct link between product design and its industrial application.

This development lays the groundwork for growth in Pirelli’s production capacity in Rome, an integral part of the Group’s industrial development plans, and will further strengthen Pirelli’s presence in the United States—one of its most important and strategic markets.

The Rome, Georgia, plant specializes in high-value tire production for the North American market. It also hosts a dedicated R&D center, further strengthening its role in technological development and product innovation.

The facility is recognized for its responsible sourcing practices, including the use of FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®)-certified natural rubber, underscoring the company’s broader environmental commitment across its supply chain.
