From Dalian to the Country: Neutech Group Reshapes Intelligent Elderly Care with “City-Level Elderly Care Service Platform”

Published

on

HONG KONG and DALIAN, China, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At 7:00 a.m. in Dalian, Ms. Zhou opened the “Dalian Intelligent Elderly Care Service Platform” mini program in her home at Dahua Jinxiuhuacheng. She was booking an assisted bathing service for her semi-disabled father. Just after 10:00 a.m., a professional bathing assistant arrived on time with the necessary equipment. Over the next two hours, the weekly bathing ritual was carried out smoothly through a standardized service process.

This seemingly simple moment is no exception. In fact, it reflects a daily routine that has been replicated across the country by the “City-level Intelligent Elderly Care Service Platform”.

From Family Hardship to Platform Breakthrough: The Answer to a Challenge of Hundreds of Millions

As of the end of 2025, China’s population aged 60 and above reached 320 million, of which more than 40 million were disabled or semi-disabled elderly individuals. “When one family member becomes disabled, the whole family is thrown off balance.” This saying has become a reality for millions of households. The pressing demand for home-based elderly care is transforming from an individual family’s struggle into a societal challenge that must be addressed.

In response, the Ministry of Civil Affairs of PRC has explicitly called for accelerating the development of a three-tiered facility network for elderly care services that connect counties, townships, and villages, while promoting the integration and coordination of home-based, community-based, and institutional elderly care. On April 9, 2026, the Liaoning Provincial Civil Affairs Department further laid out its strategic direction: upgrading quality in urban areas, expanding coverage in rural areas, coordinating urban and rural development, and ensuring targeted support for those most in need. But turning these blueprints into reality requires a key player: who will connect the scattered community meal service points, local service providers, and community health clinics into a cohesive service network?

The solution is none other than a City-level Intelligent Elderly Care Service Platform, which integrates all resources within a 15-minute service circle. Elderly residents or their family members can simply open a mini-program or call a hotline to access one-click requests for the “Six Supports” services: meal assistance, housekeeping assistance, bathing assistance, medical assistance, emergency assistance, and mobility assistance.

The platform’s value extends far beyond on-demand service calls. It acts as a bridge connecting the government, service providers, and families. For the government, it serves as an “accelerator” for policy implementation, enabling full oversight via a single dashboard. For service providers, it functions as a new customer acquisition channel and a quality benchmark. For families, it brings greater choice and peace of mind, making it as easy to find elderly care services as ordering takeout.

Driving this innovation is Neutech Group, which launched its strategic transformation in 2024 to fully enter the elderly care technology and medical-care integration sector. The City-level Intelligent Elderly Care Service Platform developed by the group is positioned as “new infrastructure” for city elderly care service, establishing a digital foundation that connects four levels “government, institutions, communities, and families.”

From Dalian to the Whole Country: Elderly Care “New Infrastructure” in 20 Cities

To date, the City-level Intelligent Elderly Care Service Platform has been launched in Shenyang, Dalian and Nanning, and has expanded to more than 20 cities nationwide, basically forming a nationwide layout. The launched— “Shenyang “Shengqing Wellness (盛情康養)” and “Dalian Intelligent Wellness” platforms cover 30 core elderly care scenarios, serving over 70,000 users, gathering more than 1,950 quality service providers, and offering nearly 10,000 elderly-friendly products and services online.

These figures indicate that when Ms. Zhou in Dalian places an order for assisted bathing services on the platform, it is supported by a fully standardized system encompassing service provider access, automated dispatching, process traceability, and evaluation feedback. This serves as compelling evidence that the “Technology + Healthcare and Elderly Care” dual-engine strategy of Neutech is transitioning from blueprint to reality.

The platform’s ability to scale rapidly nationwide is underpinned by a clear operational pathway. Neutech adopts an integrated online-offline approach: online efforts focus on enhancing platform transaction and operational capabilities, continuously optimizing dispatch algorithms, service evaluation systems, and government supervision dashboards, thereby making the system behind “one-click ordering” increasingly intelligent and efficient; offline, the company establishes talent training bases and senior education centers to continuously supply professional personnel for elderly care services, while also fostering social engagement among the senior population through educational initiatives.

Building on this foundation, Neutech integrates ecosystem partners by incorporating service providers, medical institutions, and community facilities into a unified system, thereby creating a standardized and replicable operating model. Since 2025, the company has successively established joint ventures in Shenyang, Dalian, Shanghai, Fuzhou, and Nanning. Leveraging the resource advantages of Neutech and local state-owned enterprises, it advances localized operations of elderly care technology services and rapidly replicates the standardized system of a “City-level Intelligent Elderly Care Service Platform.”

This model has formed an operational structure described as “One Platform, Two Centers.” Driven by the dual engines of localized joint ventures and standardized output, Neutech is upgrading city-level platforms into a new type of elderly care infrastructure that can be promoted nationwide, with the goal of becoming a trusted digital elderly care partner for governments.

The Future is Here: Turning the Blueprint into Everyday Reality

A city-level platform is not an isolated software system, behind it lies a physical network that integrates education, healthcare, and wellness. This is inextricably linked to Neutech’s multi-business deep synergy strategy of “education enhances healthcare and wellness, healthcare transitions into wellness and supplements education, and wellness supports and complements both healthcare and education.”

On the elderly care services front: Neucare Phoenix Academy has built a nationwide elderly education network comprising “3 branch schools and 8 branch institutes,” with offline paid enrollments exceeding 2,000 in 2025. Wecare Family Nursing Home was awarded the title of “Liaoning Province Five-Star Elderly Care Institution (遼寧省五級養老機構)” (the highest level), achieving an occupancy rate of 93%, of which 96% are seniors aged 80 and above. Wecare Family Nursing Home has fully deployed the “Ruixintong (睿新通)” integrated medical, wellness, and elderly care SAAS service system, serving as a demonstration and validation center for Intelligent elderly care solutions.

On the medical services front: Ruikang Cardiovascular Hospital undertook the national cardiovascular high-risk screening project, becoming the solely designated screening institution in the Liaoning region, with nearly 58,000 outpatient and emergency visits in 2025. Ruikang Stomatology Hospital was awarded the honor of Liaoning Province Elderly-Friendly Medical Institution (《遼寧省老年友善醫療機構》), with annual outpatient visits exceeding 23,000. These medical resources and elderly care services have formed a positive collaborative mechanism of “healthcare transitions into wellness and supplements education,” providing the city-level platform with solid service supply capabilities.

The “15-minute elderly care service circle,” established by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is a service network centered on the provision of the “six assistance services.” While a City-level Intelligent Elderly Care Service Platform is just like an engine that drives the efficient operation of these services within the 15-minute service radius.

Powered by “AI + big data,” the platform integrates scenarios such as bed searching, service matching, policy inquiries, and subsidy applications into a unified system. By bridging information gaps between supply and demand, it transforms fragmented services into a seamlessly connected network. Home-based care, community care, and institutional care are coordinated through unified resource allocation and service integration, aligning with the Ministry’s vision of “integrated and coordinated” service delivery.

Returning to Ms. Zhou’s daily life, she reflects that “home-based elderly care” once felt like a heavy burden. Today, however, it is becoming increasingly manageable—not because her family has suddenly gained more capacity, but because a reliable network of elderly care is gradually taking shape.

From Dalian to Shenyang, from Nanning to Shanghai, Neutech Group is deploying a combination of city-level Intelligent elderly care platforms, localized joint ventures, and integrated healthcare service networks. This coordinated approach is expanding the coverage of the care network from an individual city to a nationwide scale, turning the vision into everyday services that are used by tens of thousands of users in cities across China.

By connecting resources through platforms, empowering ecosystems through technology, and driving services with data, the challenges of elderly care will gradually be alleviated—replaced by a society-wide system of reassurance and support.

VITG Unveils Modern Managed Services and Managed Detection & Response as Part of a Broader AI and Cybersecurity Transformation across ANZ

Published

on

By

SYDNEY, Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As organisations across Australia and New Zealand navigate the accelerating impact of artificial intelligence, increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, and growing governance requirements, Virtual IT Group   (VITG) has announced the launch of Modern Managed Services  (MMS)  and Managed Detection & Response  (MDR) , that are next-generation managed services and managed security offerings designed to help organisations remain secure, resilient and ready for what’s next.

Modern Managed Services delivers a Modern Defensible Architecture framework for managed IT operations, ensuring security controls, governance frameworks and operational best practices are embedded and continuously maintained. Complementing this, Managed Detection & Response provides organisations with 24×7 Security Operations Centre (SOC) capability, actively monitoring, investigating and responding to threats using advanced security analytics and response technologies.

Jeremy Nees , Chief Product Officer, VITG , said:

“Too often, organisations purchase managed services only to discover they do not have the standard level of security they need. As businesses adopt AI, the old-world IT solutions that Managed Service Providers (MSP) are selling are simply not going to cut it. We’ve baked common security requirements into the MMS service from day one, applying the key principles of Modern Defensible Architecture: Secure-by-Design, Defense in Depth, and Zero Trust.

MDR and ZDR   can be layered on top or are available independently if you have your own IT service or team. The push to adopt AI is leaving security gaps across the ANZ mid-market. Our goal is to provide customers with technology that is secure, resilient, and ready for what’s next.”

The launch marks VITG’s second major solution release of the year, following the introduction of its Zero Trust Consulting Practice  and Zero Trust Detection & Response  (ZDR)  offering earlier in 2026. It is also the Group’s first launch since acquiring cybersecurity outfit Security Centric , building on the addition of Auckland based The Instillery  in 2025 and further strengthening VITG’s capabilities across managed services, cloud, cybersecurity, data and AI. VITG is also advancing a dedicated Data & AI Practice and Momentum, a continuous improvement framework currently being piloted with customers ahead of a market launch later this year.

Since joining VITG  at the start of the year, Maurice McCarthy , Chief Executive Officer , is committed to moving at pace to meet the demand that has been created off the back of the market’s rapid adoption of AI.   

McCarthy said, “The traditional managed services model was built for a different era. Today’s organisations need partners that can help them unlock the value of data and AI while strengthening cybersecurity, managing risk, and continuously evolving their technology environment.

Through the acquisition of Security Centric and The Instillery we have brought together market-leading expertise across managed services, data and AI, and cybersecurity. This launch is the first of several innovations we will introduce as we help organisations accelerate transformation and realise greater value from AI.”

Sash Vasilevski , Chief Security Officer, VITG , said:

“The technology businesses are using to unlock the value of AI, integrate systems, and build strong data foundations, is rapidly introducing new risks and attack surfaces.

As business leaders accelerate their adoption of AI, the gap between the threats they face and the security capabilities they have in place is growing faster than many businesses realise.”

Modern Managed Services and Managed Detection & Response are available immediately.

DUVA Introduces DUVA ONE at IFA 2026: Personalized Sleep Earbuds That Respond in Real Time

Published

The Sleep System That Understands You Best.

BERLIN, Sept. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DUVA, created by Fitnexa, is introducing DUVA ONE at IFA Berlin 2026. This intelligent in-ear sleep system is designed to sense changes in the user and the bedroom, then personalize audio, noise control, and device behavior throughout the night.

Most sleep wearables explain what happened after users wake up. DUVA ONE is designed to help while the night is still happening. Its low-profile earbuds, environment-sensing charging case, and app work together to determine when and how to respond.

A user might start the night with a podcast over Bluetooth. After they fall asleep, DUVA ONE can introduce locally stored sleep audio and optimize power use. If a partner begins snoring or traffic grows louder, it can adjust ANC or add sound masking. In the morning, a private offline alarm wakes only the wearer, without requiring an active phone connection.

In-ear PPG and motion sensors estimate sleep stages and track heart rate, HRV, sleep position, and movement, while the case monitors noise, light, temperature, and humidity. The AI Agent interprets these signals alongside playback status and personal preferences to select an appropriate response. Users control sleep audio, playback duration, ANC strategy, and nighttime interventions in the DUVA App.

“Sleep does not happen in a static environment, so sleep technology should not remain static either,” said Diego, Founder of Fitnexa. “DUVA ONE is designed to respond while sleep is still happening.”

Key Highlights

Layered noise relief: Passive isolation, Hybrid ANC, and sleep audio provide noise reduction of up to 42 dB, with Transparency Mode and adaptive ANC calibration.Personalized AI sleep guidance: The AI analyzes the user’s real-time sleep state and generates personalized audio guidance to help them gradually fall asleep.Side-sleeping comfort: Each fitted earbud weighs approximately 3.3 grams and has an approximately 9.9 mm low-profile design. Two ear-tip shapes and multiple tip and stabilizing-wing sizes provide more than 40 fit configurations.All-night battery: Up to 16 hours in the most power-efficient configuration, including 13 hours of local audio with ANC off and 9.5 hours with ANC on. The USB-C and wireless charging case provides up to five additional recharges.Private offline alarm: Alarms gradually increase in volume and offer 5, 10, or 15-minute snooze options through the earbud controls.Privacy-first sensing: DUVA ONE does not record conversations, store ambient audio, or upload raw environmental audio. Users can disable individual sensors and delete historical data.

DUVA ONE is planned for release in October 2026 at a target retail price of US$349.99, with target markets including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Australia.
