New AI solutions to enhance and streamline the quarterly earnings process – securely leveraging AI to monitor trends, predict questions and grade communication

NEW YORK, Aug. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Notified, a globally trusted technology partner for investor relations, public relations and marketing professionals, today announced that it has filed a patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to develop new artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled features for its IR Event Platform. These new AI capabilities – including an Earnings Call Coach – aim to empower Investor Relations (IR) teams to tell their investment story more effectively by analyzing trends, predicting questions, and grading the performance of past and planned capital markets communications.

Notified’s Earnings Call Coach will collect data from both historical and future corporate earnings calls, webcasts, press releases and news across industries, countries and stock exchanges. By rapidly analyzing and distilling relevant data for a given company or industry – the platform will extract trends, predict questions that are likely to occur during an upcoming earnings webcast or call, coach IR teams on improving their prepared statements, and prepare executives for future calls and analyst conversations. Additionally, the Earnings Call Coach will provide an overall quality score for earnings call-related audio, video or text content – including pre-written IR scripts and pre-recordings – enabling IR teams to optimize messaging and better assess improvement over time. Finally, the platform will enable investor relations officers (IROs) to measure the impact of their efforts through post-call analytics, that can improve future interactions with investors and analysts by surfacing hidden cues in sentiment, tone of voice and body language.

“When it comes to communicating in today’s market environment, there are no second chances – and investor relations professionals can greatly benefit from the power and speed of AI-enabled data processing and analysis,” said Nimesh Davé, President, Notified. “As an IR technology provider, Notified has the obligation to provide a secure environment to leverage the capabilities of AI. We’re developing proprietary products that will give executives fast access to critical and previously unavailable information, facilitating a more engaging and impactful earnings process while ensuring complete security and compliance. We believe that Notified’s AI-powered tools will supercharge IR efforts – automating tedious, time-consuming tasks, empowering data-driven strategy, and giving IR teams an edge with insights at a scale that only artificial intelligence and predictive models can provide.”

In addition, Notified has filed a patent for its Smart Press Release Solutions, building on the GlobeNewswire AI Press Release Generator’s cutting-edge capabilities. This solution will include new tools for content optimization, a grading system to predict success rates, recommended distribution options and predicted media engagement.

Notified recently announced an exclusive partnership with IR Magazine to form an Artificial Intelligence Working Group, inviting global IROs and finance leaders to explore the applications and implications surrounding the use of AI in the investor relations industry. Notified will sponsor IR Magazine’s upcoming AI in IR Forum on December 1, 2023 in New York City, and will deliver a keynote session highlighting insights and findings from this report.

RIMINI, Italy, Aug. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — On the occasion of the Rimini Meeting, the TIM Group presented the project ‘Riconnessioni’ (Reconnections), featuring 100 photos that narrate the recovery of the population of Emilia-Romagna, which was hit by serious floods last spring. The exhibition, currently underway at the Rimini Meeting, aims to bear witness to the solidarity and commitment at this crucial and deeply challenging time. It also serves as a testimony to the dual dream of a sustainable approach that aids in preventing and confronting these natural disasters.

“This project tells the story of our past year at TIM, when we launched the claim, i.e. the message associated with the TIM brand, ‘the strength of connections’; we reflected on the fact that connections are the essence of innovation, they are the essence of human relationships, they are what has improved our lives in the last 10 years,” explained Maria Enrica Danese, Head of Institutional Communication, Sustainability & Sponsorship at the TIM Group. “These connections are also made up of a lot of technology, and that’s what we do,” she added.

The shots are captured by Rosa Mariniello, an architect and photographer, who, by following some TIM technicians, managed to reach the areas most affected by the disaster. “The exhibition represents my perspective, what I experienced, what struck me the most when I was on site,” explained the photographer. “I tried in every way not to dwell on what was already a territory ravaged by this catastrophe; therefore, I focused on elements that represented the whole, perhaps without showing anything directly. A refrigerator full of mud, to me, represents our daily life completely invaded by the thing that belongs to us the most, which is the food we consume, that helps us live, grow, work, and gives us the energy to do everything. For me, these are small frames that truly say a lot about this catastrophe.”

Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today highlighted how it integrates AI in cardiac ultrasound and across cardiac care to help improve clinical confidence and increase efficiency. Center-stage at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC, Aug. 25-28, Amsterdam) Congress is the portable Philips Ultrasound Compact System 5500 CV, which includes an AI-powered automation tool (the automated strain quantification) to assess the function of the heart’s left ventricle, a key indicator of heart health.

“The demands on cardiology departments have never been higher, driving clinicians to balance the delivery of high-quality care for a growing volume of complex patients with pressures to improve departmental efficiency,” said Bert van Meurs, Executive Vice President and Chief Business Leader of Image Guided Therapy and Precision Diagnosis at Philips. “From helping sonographers acquire the right image and analyze it in the right way, to cutting the assessment time for cardiac MR and CT images, we’re integrating AI across our portfolio to help clinicians make sense of all the information available to them so that they can focus more on caring for their patients.”

Integrating AI in cardiac ultrasound
Ultrasound is one of the most used imaging modalities as the first line of diagnosis for cardiac patients. A shortage of operators dealing with heavy workloads and growing numbers of complex cases continues to challenge health systems across the globe. Using AI to help streamline workflows and enhance diagnostic confidence is core to Philips cardiac ultrasound technology. Each year, Philips’ ultrasound systems support the diagnosis and treatment of more than 240 million patients.

Philips is a leader in integrating AI-powered technology across its cardiac ultrasound portfolio, including full 3D quantification and modeling of the heart, automated 2D Doppler and length measurements, reproducible 2D strain quantification and dynamic analysis of the mitral valve. The company is now integrating AI-powered automated analysis and reporting.

Integrating AI across cardiac care
Individually, Philips’ solutions can help solve cardiology’s daily challenges. Together, they create a powerful ecosystem that helps clinicians realize better cardiac care with greater efficiency. At ESC, Philips will also highlight its Advanced Visualization Workspace, which integrates AI-enabled algorithms and workflows into a single workspace. The integration of Cardiac MR and CT on Philips Advanced Visualization Workspace has lowered overall analysis time by 20-30% [1].

Philips monitors 1.2 million patients every year, with 4 billion heartbeat data transmissions daily [2]. Philips cardiology management solutions include remote cardiac monitoring innovations from Philips ECG Solutions, a leading AI-powered remote ambulatory cardiac monitoring provider, to better manage heart patients by extending physicians’ diagnostics  and cardiac monitoring from home to hospital – and hospital to home.

Visit Philips at ESC (Hall 1, booth #A300) for more information on Philips’ entire program at the event, including a satellite symposium featuring global clinical leaders addressing some of the major challenges in peri-interventional and diagnostic echocardiography and a wide range of hands-on tutorial sessions.
