— New HomePass features empower consumers to prioritize the throughput of the applications, devices, and people that are most important to them at any time —
PARIS, Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — NETWORK X — Network services and consumer experience pioneer Plume® has introduced new AI-driven personalization features within its HomePass® app. The company’s Founder and CEO, Fahri Diner, will welcome this new era of user control in a headline keynote at Network X on Wednesday, October 25 at 9:50 AM CEST.

App Priority from Plume allows users to prioritize their own application-level traffic and ensure peak performance via a number of options: through general application categories across the home, through applications running on individual devices, or through applications being used by specific people on the WiFi network. Plume is also introducing a first-of-its-kind Security Boost feature that enables users to automatically prioritize network traffic for home security devices and applications when away from home or when the household is asleep.
These new developments are the consumer-facing features of Plume’s recently announced Full Stack Optimization. Full Stack Optimization added the sophistication of application awareness needed to identify, measure, and prioritize application traffic flows. Plume expects to roll out the new features globally via the Plume HomePass app beginning in the first quarter of 2024.
Key User Benefits:
App Category Priority—Users can boost the throughput and performance of bandwidth-intensive Gaming, Streaming, Video Calling, or Home Security app families across all devices and people in the home.Device Priority—Throughput to apps running on specific devices can be prioritized for increments of one hour, end-of-day, or indefinitely.People Priority—Application flows for the devices assigned to a specific user profile can also be prioritized for increments of one hour, end-of-day, or indefinitely.Home Security Boost—By combining App Category Priority with Plume’s Sense™ service—which uses WiFi signals to detect movement and track each user’s primary device inside the home—consumers can opt into “Away Mode” which will trigger the HomePass app to automatically boost throughput for home security devices and their associated apps when the home is empty or inactive.Dynamic traffic prioritization—In each case, non-urgent traffic, such as software updates, is deprioritized to reduce interference with real-time applications to bring additional optimization of the home network.Monitor app performance—Users can monitor each app family’s performance rating on a scale of excellent, fair, or poor to gain visibility into the home network, make decisions around what to prioritize, and verify their boosts are achieving better connectivity.The new controls are entirely optional—Users can choose to allow Plume to optimize performance based on its AI-driven algorithms via the default Automated Mode. Plume’s adaptive WiFi intelligently monitors the home network and tunes it for optimal performance based on multiple factors including usage patterns, load, and interference.Efficient and proactive support—The new prioritization-based feature set presents an opportunity for service providers to improve customer support. Application category-, device-, and people-level insights available through Plume’s Haystack® Support Suite can enable service providers to diagnose and resolve network performance issues more rapidly, leading to reduced support calls, improved customer satisfaction, and reduced churn.”Consumer experience is the new currency for the modern service provider,” said Michael Philpott, Research Director at Omdia. “The days of focusing marketing campaigns on speed and price are numbered—our research shows that consumers now value experience over all else. This new development will bring them greater control over their in-home device and application experiences.”

CISION (PR Newswire)

DALIAN, China, July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — “AI in healthcare is extremely challenging. For companies, it requires not only solving scientific problems but also understanding AI technology and respecting the complexity of the healthcare industry.” At the 15th Annual Meeting of the New Champions, also known as Summer Davos, Ms. Gong Rujing (Yingying), Chairwoman and Founder of Yidu Tech, was invited as a distinguished representative of the healthcare technology sector. She shared her unique insights into the future of AI in healthcare during the thematic dialogue on “Healthcare Analytics, Not Moving Fast Enough.”

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Yidu Tech and Ms. Gong Rujing’s decade-long dedication to the healthcare industry. From the inception of her entrepreneurial journey 10 years ago, she has been driven by the mission to leverage the power of technology to deliver precise healthcare to every individual.
Ms. Gong described the past decade as a journey filled with miracles and achievements. During this period, Yidu Tech has progressively established close collaborations with key stakeholders in the healthcare industry, including government agencies, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, insurance firms, experts, and clinicians. As of March 31, 2024, Yidu Tech’s “AI Medical Brain” YiduCore has been authorized to process and analyze over 5 billion medical records, covering more than 2,500 hospitals.
In AI-powered clinical research, Yidu Tech has supported researchers and clinicians in producing over 240 high-level papers, accelerating the application of research outcomes. Additionally, Yidu Tech provides clinical trial services to globally renowned pharmaceutical companies, helping them optimize trial processes, reduce costs, and bring new drugs to market more swiftly, ultimately benefiting patients. In healthcare management, Yidu Tech’s AI technology plays a crucial role by analyzing vast amounts of medical data to provide comprehensive decision support to healthcare administrators, helping them optimize resource allocation and improve service efficiency.
“We are now entering a new era of AI technology.” The development of large language model technologies has opened up new possibilities across various industries. Yidu Tech has independently developed a large language model specific to the medical field and is advancing its application across the entire healthcare industry chain. The goal is to promote further progress and innovation through new AI technologies. However, Ms. Gong also emphasized that the healthcare industry is professional, complex, and sensitive, and the application of new technologies must address challenges such as data security, privacy protection, and ethics.
“Data security and privacy protection are fundamental to the development of AI technology and medical big data technology. We must ensure that all stakeholders are satisfied with compliance, security, accessibility, and privacy protection.”
“AI technology still has a long way to go.” She called on policymakers, healthcare institutions, and technology companies to work together to realize the immense potential of healthcare data. Ms. Gong highlighted that building trust is key, and enhancing data operability is essential to fully unleash the power of data. “It’s not just about better data quality; it’s about a better future for health.”
