MediKarma, a leader in Agentic AI for healthcare, has launched what it describes as healthcare’s first Agentic AI Licensing Program, designed to give providers and partners access to pre-validated AI agents focused on disease management. The model allows healthcare organizations to license individual agents tailored to specific conditions, rather than building or training systems from scratch. MediKarma's agents are designed to support care coordination, patient engagement and longitudinal disease monitoring while operating within defined clinical and governance boundaries.

Recent research reveals that Biotronik Neuro's remote monitoring with real-time visibility into spinal cord stimulation (SCS) usage can support a more effective, long-term approach to managing implanted neurostimulation devices. Biotronik is a leading medical device company aimed at developing improvements for heart and blood vessel diseases. The research examined how continuous data on stimulation patterns and patient engagement can help clinicians better understand therapy adherence, optimize programming and identify issues earlier than traditional follow-up methods. Researchers claim that the approach addresses a long-standing gap in post-implant care, where limited visibility has made it difficult to assess how devices are actually used outside the clinic.

Mira Precision Health, specialists in precision medicine diagnostics, has announced the U.S. launch of ToxNav Advantage, an AI-based clinical decision support platform, at the 2026 ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium. The software is designed to help oncologists assess and manage treatment-related toxicity risk by analyzing patient-specific data alongside therapy characteristics. Mira intends for ToxNav Advantage to support more informed treatment planning, particularly for gastrointestinal cancers where adverse effects can limit dose intensity or lead to early discontinuation.

The Veterans Health Venture Studio (VHVS), an engine designed to develop the pipeline of innovation, expands its Make-a-thon program, an innovation initiative that pairs VA clinicians, engineers, designers and veterans to rapidly develop solutions to unmet needs in health care delivery and daily living. The Make-a-thon is supported by the VA's Office of Healthcare, The American Legion and Microsoft. At its core, the program is powered by Microsoft with expert innovative training, experts and mentorship. The program focuses on hands-on collaboration, enabling teams to prototype assistive devices, clinical tools, and workflow improvements in short, intensive sprints. VA officials want the approach to help translate frontline insights into practical solutions more quickly than traditional procurement or research pathways.

Astrin Biosciences, a cancer intelligence company, has established a scientific advisory board to support the development of its AI-enabled proteomics platform for early cancer detection. The new board includes clinicians and researchers with backgrounds in oncology, biomarker discovery and machine learning, who will advise on study design, validation strategies and clinical translation. The development of the board comes post the launch of Astrin's Certitude Breast, a non-imaging screening test that can detect breast cancer in early stages. Astrin claims expert input is critical as it advances toward larger trials and potential regulatory pathways.

Inductive Bio, an AI drug discovery partner, has received an award of up to $21 million to advance AI-driven toxicity models intended to improve drug safety assessment and reduce downstream development risk. The company will work with leading academic and biopharmaceutical partners to generate datasets, validate predictive models and evaluate how AI can better characterize off-target effects early in the R&D cycle. Inductive Bio aims to use the initiative to address persistent gaps in preclinical toxicity screening, where conventional models often fail to capture complex biological interactions that later lead to trial delays or program termination.

ALR Technologies, a data management company, plans to relaunch its GluCurve Pet Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) in January 2026. The device is designed to help veterinarians and pet owners monitor glucose levels in diabetic cats and dogs through continuous, automated readings rather than periodic manual tests. Blood sugar readings are uploaded to the ALRT Veterinary Web Portal so that vets can easily monitor readings and adjust insulin levels accordingly for their patients.
