3 Trends In Healthcare Guided By AI And The Companies Behind The Innovation

Cardio Diagnostics Holdings, Inc

By Jeremy Golden, Benzinga Artificial intelligence (AI) is on the cusp of transforming nearly every single industry. When it comes to healthcare, several trends have emerged. As doctors and scientists continue to innovate, the market for AI in healthcare is expanding. The AI healthcare market appears poised for growth, with a market size of $22 billion in 2023 – a number that’s expected to accelerate at a CAGR of 36.4% from 2024-2030. The market for AI in healthcare is expected to reach $187.95 billion by 2030, demonstrating the transformative shift it’s brought to the healthcare industry. AI-focused healthcare companies are driving this progress. Here is how three healthcare companies are harnessing AI’s capabilities, using technology to drive innovation, target treatments and increase access to healthcare. Driving Innovation The rapidly growing field of AI in healthcare is already coming to life at places like the Mayo Clinic, where several AI-powered medical and surgical improvements have validated new approaches to clinical care in cardiovascular medicine, neurology, oncology, radiology and other fields of medicine. AI is replacing repetitive, manual processes – such as patient data analysis – that slow down healthcare professionals. Moving forward, this new technology will drive innovation, executives at Moderna (NASDAQ: MRNA) said after inking a partnership with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, in April. The move gave about 3,000 Moderna employees access to ChatGPT Enterprise, built on OpenAI’s most advanced language model, GPT-4, the Wall Street Journal reports. Moderna anticipates the integration of AI could lead to the introduction of 15 new products by 2029, the Cambridge, Mass., company said. Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel envisions employees using ChatGPT at least 20 times a day to “reinvent all of Moderna's business processes,” leading to greater overall efficiency. Here’s one example. When developing medicines, researchers study the biological and genetic variations that cause diseases to develop. Utilizing AI to dissect medical data sets like lab results can help scientists fill in the missing pieces. AI can assist them in figuring out the root cause of the disease, helping get much-needed treatments to patients faster. AI can lift success rates to up to 50% while reducing a drug’s time-to-market, a recent Moderna study by Harvard University’s Digital Data Design Institute found. AI is already transforming Moderna and enhancing its value-creation process. The company’s position in AI-powered innovation is leading to more efficiency and scalability across the value chain due in large part to an AI-centric culture. As of October 2023, nearly 65% of Moderna employees were active AI users. They have used the tool in multiple specific functions, from customized support to meaningful improvements in workflow efficiency and efficacy. Moderna has plans to integrate AI into all aspects of the drug development life cycle. To that end, the company has launched the Moderna AI Academy to accelerate training on AI throughout the organization. Targeted Treatments In addition to advancing drug discovery, artificial intelligence is also helping treatments reach patients faster. The past decade has seen an explosion in the amount of health data available to doctors. Organizing and analyzing this much data in a timely manner, however, can be a complex and time-consuming task for the human mind, no matter how capable or intelligent the person. That’s where AI comes in. AI is enabling researchers to develop more targeted medicines, driving progress in the field of precision medicine. This trend was part of a presentation delivered by executives at Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), who hosted a panel discussion about AI’s role in transforming healthcare at this year’s South by Southwest conference. They touched on many topics, from AI applications in drug discovery to its ability to assist doctors during clinical trials. When it comes to running clinical trials, one of the biggest challenges is quickly and efficiently recruiting and enrolling patients who meet the selection criteria. By applying AI technology to the early stages of a clinical trial, Johnson & Johnson researchers can use large anonymized datasets to identify and locate clinical research sites with patients who could potentially benefit from the Johnson & Johnson medicines that are being studied. From there, the clinical trial operations team can work to determine the likelihood of enrolling the newly identified sites into their trials. “Historically, many clinical trials have largely taken place at major academic medical centers, but we know that not all patients have access to these centers,” said Nicole Turner, Senior Director of Global Development, Data Science & Digital Health and R&D at Janssen Pharmaceuticals. “Our goal is to leverage the power of AI to bring trials to more patients, rather than waiting for patients to come to us.” According to The Wall Street Journal, Johnson & Johnson continues to make investments – to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars – in AI and data science. The company has hired about 6,000 data science and digital experts and opened a new research facility near San Francisco, and company executives say AI will power the company’s drug discovery work and strengthen its pharmaceuticals business in the future. Increasing Access Across the country, there is a need for more accessible and systemic healthcare solutions. One company is responding by using AI to combat cardiovascular diseases globally while committing to health equity and access. AI algorithms can effectively handle and analyze extensive medical data, including DNA biomarkers such as epigenetic and genetic information. As such, the shift to digital health and AI-driven diagnostics could also have widespread impacts on the cardiovascular detection, care and management industry, helping increase access to healthcare in a timely manner across the board – especially helping underserved communities in the process. Cardio Diagnostics (NASDAQ: CDIO), an artificial intelligence-powered precision cardiovascular medicine company that makes cardiovascular disease prevention and detection more precise, was formed to improve patient outcomes by developing and commercializing clinical tests that leverage AI-driven technology to combat cardiovascular disease. The company is behind PrecisionCHD TM, the first integrated genetic-epigenetic test for the detection of coronary heart disease (CHD), the most common type of heart disease and the cause of most heart attacks. With the introduction of PrecisionCHD, clinicians are armed with a powerful, scalable and non-invasive alternative that comes in the form of a blood-based test that uses AI, along with personalized genetic and epigenetic information, to sensitively detect the presence of CHD and use the information for more personalized patient management. Cardio Diagnostics has also developed Epi+Gen CHD TM, a powerful test that predicts the three-year risk for a CHD event, mainly a heart attack. Powered by AI-driven integrated genetics-epigenetics, the tool enables more effective decision-making and earlier interventions. Traditional diagnostic methods for CHD, often inaccessible due to the need for specialized infrastructure, can be invasive and sometimes require exposure to ionizing radiation. Additionally, some of the tests are not sensitive to all forms of CHD and can be very costly, resulting in millions of Americans left without adequate and potentially lifesaving cardiac care. Thanks to AI, PrecisionCHD has armed clinicians with a powerful, scalable and non-invasive alternative that comes in the form of a blood-based test. For rural communities where access to specialized medical facilities is limited, the implications of this advancement are particularly relevant. With only a simple blood draw needed to complete a test, PrecisionCHD offers patients in underserved areas access to state-of-the-art cardiac assessments. PrecisionCHD can be administered in primary care or telemedicine settings, significantly reducing the need for patients to travel to distant specialized clinics. This level of availability, marking a step forward toward mitigating healthcare disparities, would not be possible without AI. Featured photo by CDC on Unsplash. Cardio Diagnostics is an artificial intelligence-powered precision cardiovascular medicine company that makes cardiovascular disease prevention, detection, and management more accessible, personalized, and precise. The Company was formed to further develop and commercialize clinical tests by leveraging a proprietary Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven Integrated Genetic-Epigenetic Engine (“Core Technology”) for cardiovascular disease to become one of the leading medical technology companies for improving prevention, detection, and treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Middle East’s $9 Billion EV Opportunity Reaffirms Potential In These Stocks

VVPR, VFS, NWTN, LCID

The Middle East, a region long known for its oil and gas riches, is transitioning to a new, more sustainable future, potentially dominated by electric vehicles. The UAE, for instance, has launched several initiatives over the past years to encourage the adoption of EVs among its residents. Strategies like the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030 aim to have around 42,000 electric cars on Dubai’s streets by the end of this decade. Currently, the UAE is ranked 7th globally and is the top country in the MENA region on the Global Electric Mobility Readiness Index (Gemrix), demonstrating the nation’s dedication to sustainable transportation and its goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Like the UAE, the Saudi government has also taken significant steps to drive EV adoption, including funding infrastructure. Since 2021, the Saudi Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Development Initiative (SEVCIDI) has been working towards a goal of installing 50,000 domestic charging stations by 2025. According to analysts, EV adoption will gain major momentum in the Middle East thanks to growing tech-savvy urban hubs in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, in addition to a significant drop in the cost of EVs over the past years. With EV sales looking set to continue ramping up, here are four stocks that seem well positioned to capitalize on the region’s growth. VivoPower International PLC (NASDAQ:VVPR), a sustainable energy solutions (SES) company, is on a mission to make the cost of owning an EV much more affordable without compromising on any of the features. The company’s flagship subsidiary, Tembo e-LV, supplies conversion kits containing all the parts needed to convert a vehicle from an internal combustion engine to electric. These parts include the batteries, an e-motor, a reduction box, a charger, software, and many other components that make the converted vehicle work safely and seamlessly. In essence, the Tembo electric utility vehicle (EUV) conversion kits will transform new and second-hand diesel-powered 4x4 LandCruiser and Hilux vehicles into ruggedized EUVs that can operate in the harshest of terrains, like in mining and other industrial applications. Tembo’s conversion kits have seen significant interest from not only the Middle East but also the African market, as illustrated by its recent securing of a commitment of 5000+ kits and an order pipeline of 10,000+ kits. Those included an MOU in Jordan for 1,000 kits, opening a path to the Middle East, which is the largest Landcruiser market, and a definitive agreement in Kenya for 4,000 kits, providing entry into second-hand vehicle segments, which expands the company’s addressable market. To put the opportunity in context, the Middle East and Africa EV markets were worth about $3.33 billion in 2024 and are expected to reach $9.42 billion by 2029, representing a CAGR of 23.20%, according to research from Mordor Intelligence. VVPR is well positioned to capitalize on this growth and has what could possibly be one of the best backers to help advance in the region. That is because earlier this month, Vivo received a direct investment of $10 million into Tembo at a pre-money valuation of $120 million, from a private investment office of a member of the ruling Al Maktoum family of Dubai. At the moment, VVPR has a market cap of about $12.5 million, which implies that its valuation has significant upside potential even without taking into account its other subsidiaries, which it is divesting from. Just this week, VivoPower International PLC (NASDAQ:VVPR) announced that it entered into a definitive asset sale agreement for the sale of one of its non-core business units, Kenshaw Electrical, to ARA Group Limited, a leading diversified industrial services group based in Australia, for a total of A$5 million. This follows another announcement that it would spin off the majority of its Caret business unit’s portfolio, representing up to ten solar projects totaling 586 MW-DC at varying stages of development. This is in line with VivoPower’s previously announced strategy to focus on reinvesting in its strong growth businesses, including Tembo. It is also important to note that Tembo will be going public via a merger with Nasdaq-listed SPAC Cactus Acquisition Corp. (CCTS). CCTS will issue 83.8 million shares in exchange for Tembo shares at $10 per CCTS share, which corresponds to a pre-money indicative equity valuation of Tembo of $838 million. VivoPower shareholders will get 5 Tembo shares worth $10 each for every share held, in addition to a special dividend at $1 per share, translating to another $5 per VivoPower share held. This deal has the potential to unlock significant shareholder value since even if the Tembo share price upon IPO is only $1, this implies a per share valuation for VVPR of $28, including the value of dividend shares. VinFast Auto Ltd. (NASDAQ:VFS) marked a significant milestone in its global expansion strategy by entering into a dealer sales agreement with Bahwan Automobiles Trading LLC (BAT) for the distribution of electric vehicles (EVs) in Oman. This collaboration not only introduces VinFast's presence in the Middle East but also underscores the company's commitment to promoting green mobility solutions worldwide. The deal follows an Initial Memorandum of Understanding for Cooperation signed at the COP 28 conference in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2023. It makes BAT the official dealer of VinFast in Oman. Under the agreement, BAT is to establish 13 VinFast stores and service locations over the next three years. The first store is expected to launch in mid-2024, with vehicle sales commencing shortly after. VinFast will also collaborate with BAT to introduce four e-SUV models in the Omani market: VF 6, VF 7, VF 8, and VF 9. Mr. Ta Xuan Hien, CEO of VinFast Middle East, said: "Oman presents a promising market for electric vehicles, as consumers in the nation demonstrate a growing interest in sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation solutions. We are confident that this dealer sales agreement with BAT, a leading and highly reputable dealer in Oman, will empower VinFast to swiftly establish a presence in the market and provide customers in the country with the most diverse and high-quality selection of electric vehicles available." NWTN (NASDAQ:NWTN) is a Dubai-based pioneering green energy company dedicated to providing passenger-focused, premium electric vehicle products and green energy solutions to customers worldwide. The company has a full vehicle assembly facility in Abu Dhabi. In January this year, NWTN’s strategic partner, W Motors, a leading manufacturer of high-performance luxury cars in the Middle East, signed a partnership agreement with Manaseer Group. Through this agreement, Manaseer Group will be the exclusive distributor for W Motors and NWTN vehicles in Jordan and the Middle East and Africa region. It will use its facilities as a factory for assembly and thereafter manufacturing operations for these new car brands, which is made possible by Manaseer’s strong presence and expertise of the Jordan market, and its commitment to providing environment-friendly solutions that combine innovation and luxury. The agreement was reached following Manaseer Group's recent participation in the Higher and Executive Committees for Integrated Industrial Partnership meeting that took place in Bahrain. Manaseer Group’s Vice Chairman Eng Abdel Rhman Obaid said: "We are proud to have represented Jordan in the Higher and Executive Committees for Integrated Industrial Partnership meeting and to contribute to the industry's development in Jordan and the region, as we believe in our role in the industrial sector empowerment.” Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:LCID) officially opened the first-ever car manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia last year, making it its second Advanced Manufacturing Plant (AMP-2) and first international plant. The facility will produce Lucid's groundbreaking electric vehicles for Saudi Arabia and export them to other markets. The AMP-2 facility received significant support from the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia (MISA), the Saudi Industrial Development Fund (SIDF), and the Economic City at King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) and is expected to play a pivotal role in accelerating Saudi Arabia's strategic goal to diversify its economy. The AMP-2 facility has begun semi knocked-down (SKD) assembly and is expected to have an annual capacity of 5,000 cars. The initial operation re-assembles Lucid Air vehicle 'kits' that are pre-manufactured at the company's U.S. AMP-1 Manufacturing Facility in Casa Grande, Arizona. Lucid aims to transition AMP-2 to complete build unit (CBU) production after the middle of the decade, with an additional annual capacity of 150,000 cars.

This partnership provides Sernova a potentially unlimited supply of insulin-producing cells to treat millions of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes (type 1 and type 2).

Hong Kong Authorities Approve Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF, A New Dawn For These Tokens?

Kangamoon

After the Hong Kong regulatory authority's approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the crypto market is set to witness a resurgence. Some of the tokens that badly need this approval are Ethereum (ETH) and Polkadot (DOT) which have slipped considerably in the wake of the bearish sentiments. For KangaMoon (KANG), the development is a good way of continuing its bullish momentum, projecting it as one of the best meme coins to buy now. KangaMoon (KANG)- An Injection of Fresh Idea KangaMoon's fresh idea is set to revolutionize the meme coin market. The platform blend of SocialFi and GameFI models projects it as the future of meme coin utility, offering a platform where participants come together for an immersive gaming experience. KangaMoon's ideas also transcend to making the platform a user-centric one. Every participant on the platform has a chance to earn significant rewards through their active participation. Players earn through weekly, monthly, and quarterly competitions. Spectators earn through predictive betting while holders get free tokens through simple social tasks. At stage 5 of the ICO campaign, KangaMoon has broken through as one of the best meme coins to buy. Its native token KANG has witnessed huge growth, rising from $0.005 at inception to $0.0196 now. With the price rising, investors have also pocketed a 290% ROI for holding on to the token. With the listings across major exchanges set to happen in Q2 2024, KangaMoon's potential ROI could be up 1000%. Although the token has proved itself in the meme coin market, keen watchers believe more are still to come. With events such as the approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs and the upcoming bull market, KangaMoon can truly serve investors with a bounce to $1. Can The Effect of Hong Kong ETF Approval Kickstart a New Dawn For Ethereum (ETH)? Ethereum (ETH), the number two crypto, has witnessed a subdued performance in recent times, losing almost $1000 of its price value within a few months. However, the recent approval of the Ethereum ETF in Hong Kong is expected to trigger a massive rally in the next few months. Even though the Ethereum token still has the US SEC to contend with, Ethereum EMA is battling hard to find support at the $3k threshold. If Ethereum's price can find support, analysts observe that it may restage its move above the key resistance level of $3500. Otherwise, a pullback to below $3k can not be ruled out. Holders Expect Polkadot (DOT) To Surge After Breaking Key Support Level Now that Polkadot (DOT) has broken out of the support level of $6.5, the token may be set for an extended spell with a bullish sentiment. From the trading outlook, the Polkadot token is moving next into the 100-day EMA located at $8.1 and the Fibonacci retracement level situated at $8. This audacious jump by Polkadot may be due to the recent massive adoption of the Polkadot network by many projects. Projects such as Moonsong Labs, Origin Trail, and Neuro Web AI have all embraced Polkadot silky blockchain as their preferred network to drive their platform growth.

Franklin Templeton Launches Money Market Fund on Polygon; Why Are Tron and KangaMoon Surging?

Kangamoon

Franklin Templeton recently created a money-market fund on the Polygon (MATIC) blockchain, which indicates that institutions are becoming more interested in DeFi. Meanwhile, Tron (TRX) and KangaMoon (KANG) are the best cryptos to buy. Analysts hint that KANG, a Stage 5 presale star, may become a $0.5 crypto in 2024. The Polygon Crypto May Soar After Franklin Templeton Announcement Franklin Templeton has revealed that the Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund (FOBXX) will be integrated into the Polygon (MATIC) blockchain. This is a significant step for the first-ever U.S.-registered mutual fund, which now uses public blockchains to perform transactions. Meanwhile, the Polygon coin has been riding a bullish wave. Over the last week alone, the Polygon crypto value rose from $0.67 to $0.70. During that time, the Polygon market cap increased from $6.88B to $6.97B. This crypto is trading above its 200-day EMA, so experts have made a bullish Polygon price prediction. They foresee growth to $1.10 within Q2 of 2024. Tron (TRX): Another Good Crypto To Buy Tron (TRX) is another token making waves in this market. Over the last seven days, the Tron price soared from $0.11 to $0.12. The Tron market cap surged from $9.60B to $10.46B in that period. Additionally, Messari reports that Tron had positive growth in many sectors in Q1 of 2024. For example, the USDT on TRON reached $50B. In addition, there are now 25 technical indicators for the Tron coin in the green. Because of this, market analysts remain bullish on this crypto. In their Tron price predictions, they forecast a rise to $0.17 before Q2 of 2024 ends. KangaMoon (KANG): The Best New Crypto To Invest In Global traders are also gravitating to KangaMoon (KANG), a rising presale sensation. This presale has raised over $5.8M so far and is expected to reach $6M by the end of April 2024. The community has over 20K registered members and 6K KANG holders, showing strong involvement. Recently, KangaMoon announced a major partnership with RiotSharks, bringing thrilling raids and a $1K monthly reward pool. This development has only increased the level of attention that KangaMoon is getting. Essentially, KangaMoon will launch a P2E game where KANG will be used to buy in-game items and upgrade characters. What makes KangaMoon unique is its focus on giving back to its community. For example, KangaMoon rewards the most active community members with free KANG tokens before its launch. Therefore, countless individuals are now rushing to like and share KangaMoon's social media posts. Currently, one KANG costs just $0.0196 in Stage 5 of its presale - a 290% pump from its starting price of $0.005. However, since it has ties to the P2E gaming market, which may reach $885M by 2028, its long-term growth potential is stellar. Experts foresee a rise to $0.5 once a Tier-1 CEX lists KANG in Q2 of 2024. This makes KANG the top crypto to invest in. Can KangaMoon Outpace Polygon and Tron? KangaMoon possesses a major advantage over Polygon and Tron—a low market cap of $19.6M. This means that KANG will surge much faster, as it needs fewer new funds for its price to rise. Therefore, KANG is the best new crypto to invest in. Sign up for its presale now and get a 10% bonus. Discover the Exciting Opportunities of the KangaMoon (KANG) Presale Today!
