Neurosom announces oversubscribed bridge round financing as company advances towards Seed Round in 1H 2026
OR – Neurosom™, the developer of a personalized, at-home neuromodulation therapy to improve deep and REM sleep, key factors in reducing dementia risk, today announced the imminent closing of an oversubscribed bridge round of investment funding for the company. “We are incredibly grateful for this strong show of support for our Sleep WISP ™ technology and the promise it provides for reducing dementia risk, optimizing sleep, and providing brain care as we age,” said Viral Sheth, CEO of Neurosom. The oversubscribed bridge round led by Portland Seed Fund’s Intrepid Oregon Fund with major participation from the Loomis Family Trust, OEN Angel Syndicate and ONAMI reflects strong validation of Neurosom’s technology and clinical trajectory. "The Neurosom team directs decades of neuroscience and product expertise at some of the most pernicious health and longevity issues of our day," said Angela Jackson, managing director of Portland Seed Fund. We are thrilled to have led this investment round and look forward to its growth in the months and years to come." In 2025, other milestones such as the FDA clearance of NEAT, their AI-powered software for the therapy system, and the phase II funding for a clinical trial for Mild Cognitive Impairment, or MCI, funded by the National Institute of Aging, helped drive a stellar year of recognition for Neurosom in the business community. On December 1st, Neurosom won the 2025 Oregon Entrepreneur Network (OEN) Angel Oregon Life & BioScience Fund Investment Award. Sheth comments, “Neurosom is honored to win OEN's Angel Oregon BIO investment. This award serves as a powerful endorsement of our mission to transform deep sleep into a therapeutic gateway for brain health and dementia prevention. The mentorship and network we have been able to build throughout this program have been incredibly valuable. We are deeply grateful to OEN and the Oregon innovation community for their support as we bring Sleep WISP™ closer to the patients and families who need it most.” Path to Seed Round and 2026 Outlook In 2026, the funds raised during the bridge round will be strategically deployed to scale operations and support additional clinical trials for treating MCI. Neurosom has entered active discussions with a small group of specialized neurotechnology investors to anchor a $5M priced seed financing targeted for the first half of 2026. The company will be deepening discussions with a select group of strategic neurotech investors during meetings around the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference. “With multiple data milestones expected in 2026 and growing inbound interest from strategic neurotech VCs, we expect the Seed Round to move quickly,” says Sheth. On the Horizon Key Opinion Leader Sites – the Sleep WISP™ is now in use at Mount Sinai, OHSU, University of Washington, Northwestern University, and Wake Forest University. In 2026, the company will expand its clinical collaborations to additional KOLs and private clinics to broaden the data foundation and accelerate real-world learning. Product Development Neurosom will continue advancing the Sleep WISP™ platform, focusing on improved signal quality and comfort through refinements in hardware and electrodes to support long-term, at-home use with clinical-grade EEG and neuromodulation capability. In parallel, the company is developing an HD EEG based framework for memory and cognitive assessment, integrating longitudinal sleep EEG biomarkers, objective event-related potential (ERP) measures, and emerging biomarkers associated with glymphatic clearance capacity to support earlier detection of cognitive decline and personalized therapy optimization. Qualified investors and strategic partners are encouraged to contact Neurosom through the website to find out more information.

Dementia Care Guide for Out-of-State Families in Dallas-Fort Worth Released
Sage Senior Support has released a specialized guide addressing the legal, financial, and logistical challenges faced by adult children living outside the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex who have parents with dementia residing in the area. The resource fills a critical gap for distance caregivers navigating a fragmented system that assumes proximity, offering actionable strategies for managing care from afar. With over 53 million Americans providing unpaid care—a 22% increase since 2015 according to the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP—and a growing number managing dementia specifically, the guide responds to an urgent need as families confront the realities of long-distance caregiving in 2026. More information is available at https://sageseniorsupport.com/post/my-mom-has-dementia-i-live-out-of-state-dallas-fort-worth-guide Distance caregivers face exponentially higher burdens than their local counterparts. Travel expenses alone can reach $8,000 to $15,000 annually, according to industry analyses, on top of direct care costs. Dementia amplifies this burden because patients cannot reliably communicate their own condition, forcing families to build expensive surveillance and support systems from hundreds or thousands of miles away. A 2024 study by Fidelity Investments found that 56% of caregivers are willing to withdraw from retirement accounts to fund parent care, a measure that compromises intergenerational wealth and long-term financial security. Texas operates under specific legal and financial structures that can mitigate these challenges when properly understood. The state is one of only five recognizing Lady Bird Deeds for Medicaid planning, a powerful instrument allowing seniors to protect their homestead from Medicaid Estate Recovery while retaining the right to live in the home. Because Texas is also an income-cap Medicaid state, families must employ specialized strategies such as Qualified Income Trusts to manage excess income and maintain eligibility. Without proper planning, families can lose hundreds of thousands of dollars to the state through estate recovery programs. According to Sage Senior Support's October 2025 market analysis, memory care in the Dallas-Fort Worth area costs between $5,500 and $8,500 monthly, with base services starting around $5,200 and all-inclusive care often exceeding $8,500 when level-of-care fees are factored in. Market data from JLL indicates that occupancy rates in many facilities hover near 90%, creating waitlists that require proactive planning rather than crisis placement. Out-of-state families struggle to independently identify critical local resources such as the Alzheimer's Association Dallas & Northeast Texas Chapter, Area Agencies on Aging, and the James L. West Center for Dementia Care, which provide support groups, benefits counseling, and educational programs tailored to the region. Founded by Logan Hassinger and based in Grapevine, Sage Senior Support provides personalized consultations, transition planning, downsizing support, and real estate solutions specifically for aging parent transitions. The company addresses a critical pain point for distance caregivers: often the parent's home is the primary asset available to fund care, yet selling a home during a dementia crisis is complex and time-sensitive. Sage Senior Support offers complimentary resources including a Transition Blueprint, Texas Medicaid Roadmap, and Empowering Caregivers eBook to equip families with knowledge before they reach the crisis point of a 2am internet search. The guide shifts caregivers from reactive crisis management to proactive strategic planning by clarifying Texas Medicaid specifics, elder law tools, care costs in the metroplex, and the emotional terrain of dementia. By understanding these realities, out-of-state families can reclaim agency in a situation that often feels overwhelming and opaque. Customer testimonials consistently praise the company's compassionate, knowledgeable approach to supporting families during difficult transitions, emphasizing the value of having a trusted local partner who understands both the legal landscape and the human dimensions of dementia care. Families can access the guide and contact Sage Senior Support for a consultation at https://SageSeniorSupport.com

AI Rebooker Launches App to Help Travelers Save On Trips They’ve Already Booked
AI Rebooker announced the official launch of its travel-savings app, a service built for travelers who want to save money after they book, not just before. The platform watches existing bookings for price drops on the same trip and alerts users when it finds a cheaper option, so they can rebook and keep the difference. “Most travelers have seen a fare or room price drop right after they book,” said Brian Wisniewski, founder of AI Rebooker. “We built AI Rebooker to keep an eye on those trips in the background and surface savings that people would probably miss on their own.” Built for trips you already have on the calendar AI Rebooker focuses on the reservations travelers already have. Once a flight, hotel, or car rental is booked, the app keeps an eye on that reservation, checks prices in real time, and looks for lower fares or better value on the same plans. If the same trip becomes available at a lower price, the traveler receives a simple alert and can decide whether or not to act on it. The aim is straightforward: help travelers keep their seats or rooms while paying less than their original booking and put the difference back in their pocket. The service works across flights, hotels, and car rentals so that frequent travelers can view and manage everything in one place. Instead of searching through multiple airline and hotel sites or digging through old confirmation emails, AI Rebooker creates a unified reservation hub that shows upcoming trips and the status of each monitored booking. How AI Rebooker works “On a recent trip I planned for Atlanta in 2026, AI Rebooker alerted me that the price of the exact same hotel room had dropped by more than $50 a night,” said traveler Rick Saake. “It’s a savings I never would have caught on my own. Having an AI system that monitors my bookings in the background makes a major difference. I can keep the same plans but pay a whole lot less.” To get started, users register, choose a plan, and pay a $29.99 annual registration fee for the basic plan. Once their account is active, travelers send in their bookings by forwarding their confirmation emails to [email protected], and the system automatically extracts the details and begins monitoring those reservations. Bookings then appear on the user dashboard, where travelers can see active trips and any available savings. When AI Rebooker finds a cheaper or better alternative for the same trip, it sends a real-time email alert with clear instructions on what to cancel and what to book. Users then sign in to their preferred airline, hotel, or travel site with their own credentials and make the change themselves, keeping complete control over their reservations. If a traveler accepts a suggested savings opportunity, AI Rebooker charges a success fee of 10 percent of the savings, with no hidden costs. The company earns only when the traveler saves. AI Rebooker supports both individual travelers and companies that want to stretch their travel budgets further. Personal plans monitor booked travel and send alerts for cheaper alternatives. In contrast, corporate plans extend the same idea to business travel with a centralized dashboard for flights, hotels, and car rentals. In both cases, the focus is on capturing fare drops and turning them into savings to use on future trips. AI Rebooker is committed to privacy first Privacy and security are central to the product. AI Rebooker encrypts travel data, and traveler information is never shared or sold. By centralizing bookings in a single secure dashboard and sending targeted alerts only when a meaningful price change occurs, the app helps travelers avoid constant manual searching while staying in control of their information and reservations. To learn more about the company and its mission, media and investors can visit the website. A step-by-step walkthrough of registration, adding bookings, and handling price alerts is available on the How It Works page at airebooker.com/how-it-works . Travelers can also review plan options and pricing to find the fit that matches their needs.

IPL 2026 Highlights Shifting Betting Patterns and Growing Focus on Platform Reliability
As anticipation builds across cricketing circles, IPL 2026 is already drawing attention for reasons that extend beyond team lineups and player auctions. Industry observers are noting clear changes in how fans and participants are approaching betting during the tournament, with increased emphasis on data awareness, disciplined engagement, and trust in digital platforms. More Analytical Approaches Gain Ground Over recent seasons, access to detailed match statistics has transformed how betting decisions are made. For IPL 2026 , this trend is expected to continue, with participants relying more heavily on venue history, player form cycles, and match-phase performance rather than intuition alone. Micro-markets—such as powerplay scoring patterns, death-over efficiency, and individual player contributions—are receiving greater attention as they allow for more contextual assessment of match dynamics. These segments are increasingly viewed as reflective of real-time conditions rather than pre-match expectations. Live Match Engagement Brings New Considerations Live betting remains one of the fastest-growing forms of engagement during the IPL, driven by improved data availability and in-app streaming. However, analysts caution that the pace of in-play markets can amplify risk if not approached carefully. The ability to interpret momentum shifts—while maintaining pre-defined limits—has become central to sustainable participation. Sudden changes in match flow, common in T20 cricket, underscore the importance of controlled decision-making throughout IPL 2026 . Why Platform Trust Is Becoming Central Alongside evolving strategies, attention is increasingly focused on the platforms facilitating IPL betting. As regulatory oversight strengthens in multiple regions, long-operating platforms are being examined for consistency, transparency, and compliance. Jeetwin is cited within industry discussions as an example of a platform that has remained operational since 2017 under an internationally recognized gaming license. Its continued presence is referenced in the context of broader industry stability rather than short-term market competition. Security and Support Expectations Continue to Rise User expectations have also shifted toward stronger safeguards and accessible assistance. Encryption standards, fraud monitoring mechanisms, and continuous customer support are now considered essential components during high-traffic sporting events such as IPL 2026 . The availability of real-time human support is increasingly viewed as a differentiator, particularly during live matches when technical clarity can directly affect user experience. A Broader View of IPL 2026 As IPL 2026 approaches, the tournament is shaping up to reflect not only the evolution of T20 cricket but also the changing nature of digital sports engagement. With informed participation, responsible practices, and dependable infrastructure gaining prominence, the season is expected to mark another step in how fans interact with cricket in a data-driven era.

Ailias Launches New Historical Character Library for Museums and Heritage Sites
Ailias, a leading provider of immersive full-body conversational AI 3D human holograms, has just announced a new and expanded library of historically inspired figures. The Historical Character Library includes a range of well-known figures, scientific educators, and purpose-built learning personas that have been designed for museums, heritage sites, and STEM learning centres. As such, they aim to help these organisations and facilities deliver immersive conversational experiences that can bring history and science to life for visitors of all ages. Each character in the library is built on advanced conversational AI and lifelike hologram technology, developed through a structured research process with examples such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Marie Curie, Nikola Tesla, Charles Darwin, and Isaac Newton already available. The team is committed to transparent sourcing and ethical representation standards, with holograms that can answer questions in real time, making more complex topics even more accessible for museums, STEM learning centres, and outreach programmes. These full-size, conversational historical holograms can transform galleries, exhibitions, and heritage attractions from passive to active experiences, bringing immersive, living narratives to the fore. Visitors to facilities equipped with Ailias’s new historical character holograms can converse directly with legendary figures, ask them questions, and make their exploration of history a much more personal experience. Each persona is designed to provide authentic and accurate historical interpretations, blending storytelling and education in a way that directly increases engagement, stimulating the curiosity of visitors of all ages, while creating more memorable, personalised encounters for everyone who talks with them. They’re designed with accessibility in mind, as well, and they can support multiple languages and can simplify complex topics on demand based on the age of the audience. Ailias is the leading platform for realistic interactive historical holograms, providing new levels of realising through high-fidelity, full-body avatars that have natural speech, motion, and lip-sync abilities that create more believable and human-like interactions. With easy installation and remote updates, they require little work to keep active, and come with no need for licensing, as they are all based on characters from the public domain. The Historical Character library is now available for immediate integration into museums, heritage exhibitions, and STEM engagement initiatives. Ailias also offers tailored demonstrations and consultations to help organisations find the holographic solution that best suits their needs.
