Published

on

LEESBURG, Fla., April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Health Karma Inc., a leader in proactive well-being and behavioral health solutions, today announced the national rollout of its Health Karma PersonalCare™ Bundles, a new product line designed to meet the urgent healthcare access needs of millions of uninsured and underinsured Americans – particularly independent contractors, part-time, and hourly workers.

Developed over the past two years and fully integrated into Health Karma’s proprietary mobile platform, the PersonalCare Bundles represent a scalable, direct-to-consumer healthcare access solution that is already gaining rapid traction across broker networks nationwide.

A Massive, Underserved Market – The launch comes at a critical time in the U.S. healthcare landscape:

Nearly 23% of working-age adults are underinsured, facing high deductibles and out-of-pocket costsApproximately 24 million Americans remain completely uninsuredMillions more experience gaps in coverage annuallyAverage deductibles now exceed $4,000, with marketplace plans reaching as high as $7,400+

These realities leave a significant portion of the workforce, especially gig workers and part-time employees, effectively locked out of timely, affordable care.

“We Are Not Insurance — We Are Access”:

Health Karma’s PersonalCare Bundles are not insurance products. Instead, they provide immediate, affordable access to healthcare services through a simple, app-based experience. Users can connect 24/7 with licensed physicians, Master’s-level behavioral health clinicians, receive diagnoses, and obtain prescriptions often at zero out-of-pocket cost within hours. One early user shared their experience after enrolling through a broker partner: “I had a severe breakout and couldn’t reach my primary doctor. Through the app, I spoke with a physician within an hour, received a prescription, and paid $0 for both the consultation and medication. The entire process took less than two hours and solved my problem completely.”

Immediate Revenue, Proven Demand – Health Karma reports strong early validation of the product:

Zero pushback from broker distribution channelsInitial pilot groups saw 127 immediate sign-upsNationwide rollout underway through thousands of insurance brokers and independent agentsAll bundles, even the entry-level bundles, generate significant and sustainable recurring revenue for Health Karma

With a growing network of over 100 experienced brokers ready to deploy, the Company anticipates rapid expansion in the coming quarters.

Flexible Distribution Model – The PersonalCare Bundles are uniquely positioned for mass adoption:

Available direct-to-consumer without employer sponsorshipNo requirement for licensed insurance agents to sellEasily deployable for employers via simple group enrollment and monthly billingAccessible across mobile, tablet, and desktop, with a seamless app-based interface

Part of a Broader Growth Strategy – This launch complements Health Karma’s expanding footprint across multiple high-impact verticals, including:

UniversitiesHealthcare and health benefit providersJustice-Impacted Reentry ProgramsFirst Responders and VeteransNative American tribal healthcare programsWorkplace violence response programsWorkers’ compensation solutions

Technology-Driven Expansion:

To accelerate adoption, Health Karma is preparing a 90-day rollout strategy leveraging advanced AI, SEO, and targeted digital marketing to reach high-need populations such as small business owners, gig economy workers, and uninsured individuals.

Executive Commentary:

Travis H. Jackson, CEO of Health Karma, stated: “This is one of the most important products we’ve developed. It directly addresses a massive and growing gap in the U.S. healthcare system. The demand is immediate, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and the revenue potential is significant. We are moving aggressively to scale distribution and ensure this solution reaches the millions of people who need it most.”

Research Solutions Launches Article Galaxy Plugin In The ChatGPT Plugin Directory, Bringing Rights-Cleared Article Access To AI Research Workflows

Researchers Can Now Check Article Availability, Confirm Access & Reuse Rights, & Order Scientific Literature Through Their Article Galaxy Account Within The ChatGPT Conversation

HENDERSON, Nev., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Research Solutions (NASDAQ: RSSS), a leading provider of AI-powered scientific research tools, announces the availability of Article Galaxy as a ChatGPT plugin. The release brings the company’s scientific article access and document delivery capabilities directly into ChatGPT conversations, where a growing share of research work now begins.

With the Article Galaxy plugin, researchers can mention @Article Galaxy in any ChatGPT prompt to check whether an article is available through their organization’s entitlements, verify access and reuse rights, place document orders, and track order status with download links. Ordered PDFs are delivered through the researcher’s Article Galaxy account, preserving the compliant, rights-respecting workflow organizations already trust.

“AI platforms have become remarkably good at surfacing the literature, but they cannot resolve who has the right to use it. That capability lives in the entitlements, publisher agreements, and acquisition workflows our customers manage through Article Galaxy,” states Chris Atwood, Vice President of Product Development & Implementations at Research Solutions. “This plugin puts that infrastructure at the point where research now begins, so compliant access is a native part of AI-assisted work instead of a step outside it.”

As AI becomes part of more research workflows, it creates more opportunities for researchers to engage with the scientific literature. AI-assisted research can generate additional searches, article requests, and document acquisitions, increasing activity across the scholarly content ecosystem. For Research Solutions and its publishing partners, growing AI adoption has the potential to increase the volume of literature transactions flowing through the existing infrastructure.

Part Of A Wider AI Ecosystem Strategy

The ChatGPT plugin directory listing extends Research Solutions’ work in making its products available wherever research happens. Article Galaxy also connects to Claude and other MCP-compatible AI assistants through the company’s Model Context Protocol server. Scite, which grounds AI answers in over 300M scientific articles, is available through the ChatGPT plugin directory and as a Claude Connector.

That reach also provides continuity. The subscriptions, licenses, and rights workflows organizations have spent years assembling now apply across the assistants their researchers use, with a single governed process instead of a new compliance surface for each AI platform.

Availability

The Article Galaxy plugin is available now in the ChatGPT plugin directory. An Article Galaxy account with MCP access is required. Setup instructions are available here.

About Article Galaxy

Article Galaxy is a scientific literature access platform that gives R&D teams and academic institutions on-demand access to 80M+ full-text, peer-reviewed journal articles. Article Galaxy routes every request through the most cost-effective compliant path, whether an existing subscription, open access, or one-time purchase, with article-level re-use rights built into each transaction. Researchers can order full text directly from PubMed, Google Scholar, and 70+ other discovery environments. For more information, visit https://www.articlegalaxy.com/. Article Galaxy is a product of Research Solutions (NASDAQ: RSSS).

Data Center Capex Grew 92 Percent in 2Q 2026, Driven by Surging AI Demand and Memory Costs, According to Dell’Oro Group

US and China Hyperscalers Double Spending as Server Costs Rise

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — According to a recently published report by Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries, the worldwide data center capital expenditures accelerated sharply in 2Q 2026. Continued AI infrastructure investment supported growth across compute, storage, networking, and physical infrastructure, while rising memory and storage prices significantly increased server average selling prices.

“Data center capex growth broadened in the second quarter as investment accelerated across both established Cloud service providers and emerging AI infrastructure customers,” said Baron Fung, Vice President of Research at Dell’Oro Group. “Spending remained concentrated in NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra and hyperscaler custom accelerators, while agentic AI created incremental demand for general-purpose compute, storage, and complementary networking. Neocloud providers and AI model builders are also becoming increasingly important contributors to infrastructure investment. These companies are rapidly expanding their own capacity while deepening partnerships with cloud service providers.

“Looking ahead, ongoing accelerator deployments and emerging agentic AI and AI-related storage workloads should sustain strong capex growth through the remainder of 2026 and beyond, although supply constraints could limit the pace at which planned infrastructure is deployed,” explained Fung.

Additional highlights from the 2Q 2026 Data Center IT Capex Quarterly Report:

Neocloud and AI Model Builder capex grew the fastest among the customer segments, reflecting the early stages of their infrastructure buildouts.Higher memory and storage prices provided an additional lift to capex by driving server average selling prices higher.Dell led server OEM revenue, followed by Supermicro and Lenovo, while white-box server revenue reached a record high.

A Better Road Forward Campaign Launches to Champion Safer Streets and Autonomous Vehicle Innovation Across New York

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, A Better Road Forward, a new 501(C)(4) advocacy coalition, launched its campaign to champion fully autonomous passenger vehicle technology in the State of New York.

A Better Road Forward is a statewide coalition of New Yorkers who believe fully autonomous passenger vehicles, when scaled responsibly, will make our streets safer, our transportation networks more sustainable, our neighborhoods easier to get around, and our communities more connected.

Though fully autonomous passenger vehicles are currently unable to operate on New York streets, the state Department of Motor Vehicles has overseen an AV testing program since 2017. Most recently, AV testing permits have been awarded to operators who successfully tested in communities like Buffalo and New York City.

Said Basil Seggos, Chair of the ABRF Advisory Board & Former Commissioner of the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, “This campaign is about bringing New Yorkers into the conversation about the future of autonomous passenger vehicles on our streets. As this technology continues to grow and communities across the country explore its benefits, and its potential, New York has a chance to seize the moment on innovation and sustainability. A Better Road Forward is here to be an educational platform for community engagement, helping New Yorkers understand the opportunities this technology presents.”

The full ABRF Advisory Board includes representatives from across NYS:

Basil Seggos of Albany, Partner, Foley Hoag LLP and former Commissioner of NYS Department of Environmental ConservationChristine Quinn of NYC, President and CEO of Win (formerly Women in Need)Rev. Mark E. Blue of Buffalo, President of the Buffalo Branch of the NAACPKenny Burgos of NYC, CEO of the NY Apartment Association & former Assembly Member who championed AV-authorization in the State LegislatureMark Schroeder of Buffalo, former Commissioner of the NYS Department of Motor VehiclesJulie Samuels of NYC, Executive Director of Tech:NYC

ABRF will leverage its members’ statewide presence to host community events to educate New Yorkers about autonomous vehicle technology. The coalition’s website will also serve as a testimonial hub where New Yorkers can share their experiences with AVs in other cities, and how it could benefit their communities. Additionally, the coalition will use public polling and paid media to support its efforts.

Said Rev. Mark E. Blue, President of the Buffalo Branch of the NAACP, “The promise of autonomous vehicles to make our streets safer and lift up our neighborhoods deserves serious attention in New York. Too often, it is communities of color across the state – including places like Buffalo and Western New York – that bear the burden of transportation deserts and unequal access to safe, reliable public transportation.” Continued Rev. Blue, who also sits on the Board of Erie County Medical Center, “As New Yorkers, we should meaningfully explore the potential of autonomous vehicles as part of the solution to expanding transportation access, especially for those who rely on paratransit services.”

Said Christine Quinn, President and CEO of Win (formerly Women in Need), “For too many New Yorkers, safe and reliable ways to get around still depend on where you live. The women and families I work with know that better than anyone — a late shift, a subway that doesn’t come, a stretch of street you don’t want to walk alone at night. The potential for AVs to better connect our neighborhoods, improve mobility for New Yorkers who can’t drive themselves, and make our streets measurably safer is too great to ignore.”

Said Kenny Burgos, CEO of the NY Apartment Association & former Assembly Member who championed AV-authorization in the State Legislature, “I first introduced AV legislation in the Assembly three years ago because I believe this technology can not only help make our streets dramatically safer, but give New Yorkers better access to transit in the neighborhoods that need it most. We started a conversation back then, but there’s still so much New Yorkers don’t know about AVs, and that’s exactly the gap A Better Road Forward is going to close.”

Said Mark Schroeder, former Commissioner of the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles, “Over nearly a decade at the helm of the NYS DMV, I saw firsthand just how steep the toll of our street safety crisis can be. I’ve also seen how new technologies, from autonomous vehicles to speed cameras can make our streets safer across the board. There’s never been a more critical time to double down on advancing every tool we have to make New York’s roads as safe as they can be.”

“Autonomous vehicles have moved well beyond the theoretical. They have the potential to make streets safer, close gaps in our transportation system and give more New Yorkers greater independence,” said Julie Samuels, President and CEO, Tech:NYC. “Other states and cities across the country have worked to proactively regulate this technology and take advantage of its benefits. New York can’t afford to fall behind. We should be leading the nation in championing technology that not only makes streets safer, but fills in the gaps our current transit system has left behind.”

A Better Road Forward is a registered 501(C)(4) Advocacy organization committed to supporting efforts in Albany to authorize the responsible introduction of autonomous passenger vehicles in the State of New York.
