Peer-reviewed study published in the HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine reports Phase 2 interim results of 90.0% sensitivity, 87.3% specificity and an AUC-ROC of 0.959 using a post hoc balanced classification threshold in assessing pressure injuries

Prospective pressure-injury study conducted at Methodist Hospital Metropolitan and Methodist Hospital Stone Oak included 1,314 device scans across 219 anatomical sites, with approximately 54% of participants representing dark skin types

No device-related adverse events were identified during the pressure-injury study

Study demonstrated the investigational device’s usability and compatibility with routine pressure-injury assessment workflows in acute-care settings

IR-MED Ltd. (OTC: IRME) (the “Company” or “IR-MED”), a developer of infrared spectroscopy-based medical device technology, today announced the publication of peer-reviewed interim clinical results evaluating the Company’s Infra-Red Spectroscopy Scanner, or IRSS, the investigational device underlying its PressureSafe™ platform, for the assessment of pressure injuries in patients across a range of skin tones.

The original research article, titled “The Use of Infra-Red Spectroscopy to Assess Intact Skin of Various Skin Tones,” was published in the HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine, Volume 7, Issue 5. The study evaluated the safety and performance of IR-MED’s non-invasive, machine-learning-enabled IRSS investigational device in distinguishing clinically healthy intact tissue from tissue classified by Certified Wound Ostomy Continence Nurses as a Stage 1 pressure injury or deep tissue injury.

PressureSafe™ is IR-MED’s proprietary platform based on the IRSS technology evaluated in the study.

  • The interim Phase 2 analysis, which included nine participants and 65 anatomical sites, reported the following performance metrics using a post hoc balanced classification threshold:87.7% overall accuracy
  • 90.0% sensitivity
  • 87.3% specificity
  • AUC-ROC of 0.959
  • No device-related adverse events

The prospective, two-phase pilot device study was conducted at Methodist Hospital Metropolitan and Methodist Hospital Stone Oak, two acute-care hospitals in San Antonio, Texas. Across both phases, 26 participants contributed 219 anatomical-site observations and 1,314 individual device scans. Approximately 54% of participants were classified as Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI (dark skin tone). The interim Phase 2 analysis included nine participants, 65 anatomical sites and 390 individual device scans, including ten sites clinically classified as pressure injuries.

Addressing a Critical Clinical Challenge

Pressure injuries can begin beneath visually intact skin, making early tissue changes difficult to identify through conventional visual and tactile assessment alone. This challenge may be particularly significant in patients with darker skin tones, where melanin pigmentation can obscure visual indicators such as non-blanchable erythema and contribute to delayed or missed identification.

The investigational IRSS device underlying the PressureSafe™ platform uses diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy across visible and near-infrared wavelengths, together with a proprietary machine-learning classifier, to assess optical signals associated with tissue biomarkers and structural characteristics that may be associated with pressure injuries.

The handheld, battery-operated investigational device performs an individual scan in approximately 400 milliseconds and provides a real-time assessment intended to support clinical decision-making. The study also demonstrated the device’s usability and compatibility with routine clinical workflows in acute-care settings.

The technology underlying PressureSafe™ is designed to provide objective information that augments, rather than replaces, standard visual and tactile skin assessment by qualified healthcare professionals.

Study Design and Results

The study was conducted under protocol IRM-02-1123 and included two phases. Phase 1 supported IRSS device calibration and validation, clinical personnel training, safety evaluation and refinement of the machine-learning algorithm.

Phase 2, which remains ongoing, is evaluating the safety and diagnostic performance of the investigational device underlying PressureSafe™ against assessments performed by experienced Certified Wound Ostomy Continence Nurses.

During Phase 1, the IRSS demonstrated 81.2% accuracy, 90.5% sensitivity, 79.7% specificity and an AUC-ROC of 0.922.

Phase 1 data were subsequently used to refine the machine-learning model evaluated during Phase 2.

In the Phase 2 interim analysis, the balanced model demonstrated 87.7% accuracy, 90.0% sensitivity and 87.3% specificity. These results represented a 6.5 percentage-point improvement in accuracy and a 7.6 percentage-point improvement in specificity compared with Phase 1.

The AUC-ROC increased to 0.959, indicating strong discrimination between anatomical sites clinically classified as healthy tissue and those classified as pressure-injured tissue.

No device-related safety events were identified during either study phase, including participant discomfort, adverse tissue reactions, interference with patient-monitoring equipment or infection-transmission concerns.

“These peer-reviewed results represent an important clinical milestone for IR-MED and provide independent validation of the potential of the infrared spectroscopy and machine-learning technology underlying our PressureSafe™ platform,” said Dr. Yaniv Cohen, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of IR-MED.

“I would like to congratulate and thank Dr. Mary Lee Potter, the clinical research teams at Methodist Hospital Metropolitan and Methodist Hospital Stone Oak, our co-authors, and everyone who contributed to the successful completion and publication of this important research. Their dedication and clinical expertise were instrumental in advancing this study.”

“The improvement observed in Phase 2 highlights the potential of our technology to learn from high-quality clinical data and enhance its diagnostic performance. Most importantly, the study supports our mission to provide healthcare professionals with an objective, rapid and non-invasive tool that may strengthen pressure-injury assessment across diverse patient populations and help address a persistent healthcare equity challenge.”

Dr. Mary Lee Potter, PhD, MBA, RN, CWOCN, the study’s principal investigator and lead author, commented:

“Early-stage pressure injuries and deep tissue injuries can be difficult to identify, particularly when tissue damage develops beneath intact skin or when visual signs are less apparent. The interim findings demonstrate promising agreement between the investigational infrared spectroscopy scanner underlying PressureSafe™ and assessments performed by experienced wound-care clinicians.”

“The study also supports the feasibility of using the device across a range of skin phototypes and its compatibility with routine acute-care clinical workflows. Continued enrollment will allow us to further evaluate performance across skin-tone groups and anatomical locations.”

Next Steps

Phase 2 enrollment and data collection remain ongoing, with completion currently expected by March 2027. Continued enrollment is intended to expand the clinical dataset, improve the precision of performance estimates and further evaluate the performance of the IRSS technology underlying PressureSafe™ across different skin-tone groups and anatomical sites.

The published study concluded that the interim results demonstrated promising anatomical-site agreement between the IRSS and the clinical classification of healthy versus pressure-injured intact tissue, with no device-related adverse events identified.

San Francisco, CA, November 3rd, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Prosperity Partners LLC, a private stock trading consultancy focused on small-cap equities, is examining how premarket price activity can help traders assess potential opportunities before the regular trading session begins. The company emphasizes the importance of evaluating early price movements alongside trading volume, technical levels, and broader market conditions rather than treating premarket gains as a reliable indication of how a stock will perform after the opening bell.

Premarket trading can offer an early view of market interest in a stock. However, activity before the regular session often occurs under different conditions, including lower trading volume and wider bid-ask spreads. These factors can make price movements less reliable and complicate trade execution. For traders focused on small-cap stocks, understanding these limitations can be an important part of preparing for the trading day.

Small-cap stocks can experience substantial price changes before the regular market opens. Company announcements, earnings releases, regulatory developments, and shifts in investor sentiment can all contribute to increased activity. In some cases, a stock may rise sharply as traders respond to new information. In others, a price move may reflect limited trading activity rather than sustained demand.

Prosperity Partners emphasizes the importance of examining the circumstances behind these movements. A significant percentage gain may attract attention, but the size of the move alone does not establish whether a stock presents a viable trading opportunity. Traders also need to consider the volume supporting the move, the location of the current price relative to established technical levels, and whether the underlying catalyst offers a clear explanation for the activity.

This assessment can help traders distinguish between stocks showing signs of sustained interest and those experiencing temporary price fluctuations. It can also help them avoid making decisions based solely on rankings, headlines, or the fear of missing an early move.

Trading volume is one factor traders can examine when assessing premarket activity. A price increase accompanied by meaningful participation may warrant further investigation, while a sharp move on limited volume can be more difficult to interpret. Neither situation guarantees a particular outcome, but volume provides context that price alone cannot supply.

Technical levels offer another reference point. Previous highs, support and resistance areas, and anticipated breakout levels can help traders evaluate where a stock stands in relation to its recent price behavior. If a stock approaches a significant resistance level before the opening bell, traders may consider whether buying interest is strong enough to sustain a move beyond that level once regular trading begins.

The opening session can also produce conditions that differ considerably from those observed earlier. As more market participants enter, prices may continue moving in the same direction, reverse sharply, or fluctuate around important technical levels. A premarket breakout therefore does not necessarily confirm that a sustained trend has begun.

By evaluating price action in context, traders can develop clearer criteria for deciding whether to participate, wait for additional confirmation, or disregard a setup that does not meet their requirements.

Premarket activity presents challenges that are particularly relevant to small-cap equities. Lower liquidity can make it harder to execute orders at expected prices, while wider spreads can increase transaction costs. Prices may also change quickly when a small number of orders account for a substantial share of available trading activity.

These conditions can affect both entry and exit decisions. A trader who bases a position on a displayed premarket price may find that the available price changes before an order can be executed. Similarly, a stock that appears to offer a clear opportunity before the opening bell may experience a rapid reversal when regular-session volume increases.

Prosperity Partners’ focus on predefined entry and exit levels, technical analysis, and risk management provides a framework for evaluating these uncertainties. Rather than assuming that early price strength will continue, traders can establish the conditions under which a trade would become attractive and identify the circumstances that would invalidate the original setup.

Position sizing and potential downside also remain important considerations. A promising chart pattern does not eliminate the possibility of an adverse move, and traders must account for the possibility that an exit may not occur at the intended price.

Premarket analysis can be most useful when it informs preparation rather than dictates immediate action. Traders can use the early session to identify stocks attracting attention, review relevant company developments, mark important price levels, and develop scenarios for the regular session.

This process also creates an opportunity to define what would justify entering a trade and what evidence would suggest staying out. Such preparation can reduce the pressure to make rushed decisions when prices begin moving quickly after the opening bell.

For Prosperity Partners, the broader consideration is the relationship between market observation and disciplined execution. Early price activity can provide useful information, but its value depends on how that information is interpreted and incorporated into a wider decision-making process.

By approaching premarket movements with defined criteria and an awareness of their limitations, traders can make more deliberate assessments of small-cap opportunities. The objective is not to predict every opening move, but to evaluate available evidence, manage uncertainty, and participate selectively when market conditions align with an established trading plan.

San Francisco, CA, November 3rd, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, David Rhoads, a cybersecurity expert based in San Jose with 15 years of experience, is highlighting the importance of preparing businesses for cyber incidents. As companies become more dependent on digital systems, security breaches can interrupt essential operations. According to Rhoads, businesses need clear plans to manage these risks before an attack occurs.

A cyberattack can bring business operations to a standstill. Employees may lose access to essential files. Customers may be unable to use online services. Financial transactions may also be delayed.

According to Rhoads, businesses should begin by identifying the operations they cannot afford to lose. This includes determining which systems are essential and how long the company could function without them. Such an assessment helps businesses prioritize their security investments. It also allows managers to prepare for disruptions that could affect revenue, customer service, and daily operations.

Rhoads emphasizes that cybersecurity planning should involve business leaders as well as technical teams. Management needs to understand the potential consequences of an attack. It must also ensure that employees know how to respond when problems arise.

Many cyber incidents exploit weaknesses that businesses could have addressed earlier. Outdated software, weak passwords, and poorly managed access permissions can expose company systems to attack.

Rhoads points to regular security assessments as an important part of preparedness. These assessments help businesses identify vulnerabilities and decide which ones require immediate attention.

Companies should install security updates promptly. They should also restrict access to sensitive information. Employees should only have permission to access the systems and data required for their roles.

Artificial intelligence has added another challenge. Cybercriminals can use AI to create convincing phishing messages and automate parts of their attacks. These techniques can make fraudulent activity harder to recognize.

Rhoads stresses the need for businesses to review their security measures regularly. Organizations cannot assume that protections designed for yesterday’s threats will address tomorrow’s risks. Routine assessments can help identify gaps before attackers exploit them.

Employees play an important role in protecting business systems. A single careless action can expose sensitive information or provide attackers with unauthorized access. Rhoads believes employee awareness should form part of every organization’s cybersecurity strategy. Workers need to recognize suspicious messages and understand how to handle unexpected requests for confidential information.

Training should also explain how employees can report potential security problems. Clear reporting procedures allow technical teams to investigate concerns before they escalate.

Businesses can reinforce these lessons through practical exercises. Simulated phishing tests, for example, can help identify areas where additional training is needed.

According to Rhoads, security awareness should be an ongoing effort rather than a one-time exercise. Regular training helps employees remain alert as threats and attack methods change.

Even businesses with strong security measures can experience cyberattacks. Having a response plan can help limit the damage. Rhoads highlights the importance of assigning clear responsibilities before an incident occurs. Employees and technical teams should know who makes decisions, who investigates the problem, and who communicates with affected stakeholders.

An incident response plan should outline how to identify suspicious activity and isolate affected systems. It should also explain how to protect relevant evidence and restore normal operations.

Testing these procedures is equally important. Tabletop exercises allow teams to work through simulated cyber incidents. They can reveal communication gaps and unclear responsibilities before a real emergency occurs. Rhoads notes that confusion during an attack can waste valuable time. Businesses that establish procedures in advance are better prepared to make decisions under pressure.

Containing an attack is only part of the response. Businesses must also restore their systems and resume essential activities. Rhoads identifies secure data backups as one important element of recovery planning. Companies should protect backup copies from unauthorized access. They should also test their recovery procedures to ensure that information can be restored when needed.

Businesses should establish priorities for bringing systems back online. Critical services may need attention before less essential applications. This approach can help reduce unnecessary delays.

Alternative working arrangements may also prove useful. Some organizations may need manual procedures while their systems remain unavailable. Others may require backup communication channels to maintain contact with customers and employees.

According to Rhoads, recovery planning should reflect the specific needs of each business. A practical plan must account for the systems, information, and services that keep the organization running.

Cybersecurity preparedness requires regular attention. Businesses should review their security controls, update response plans, and address newly identified weaknesses. Rhoads encourages organizations to view preparedness as an ongoing responsibility. Cyber threats continue to evolve, and security measures must keep pace. Waiting until an attack occurs can leave businesses scrambling to make critical decisions.

By identifying vulnerabilities, training employees, and preparing recovery procedures, companies can improve their ability to withstand cyber incidents. These steps cannot eliminate every risk. However, they can help limit disruption and support a faster return to normal operations.

For Rhoads, the goal is to help businesses approach cybersecurity with greater foresight. Advance planning gives organizations a clearer path to follow when unexpected incidents threaten their operations.

Salt Lake City, Utah, November 4th, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Gene Kwon, a Salt Lake City-based entrepreneur and Co-Founder of eHub, is highlighting the need for businesses to take a broader approach to evaluating shipping performance. While delivery speed remains an important consideration, Kwon believes businesses should also examine reliability, communication, and how effectively shipping processes support their overall operations.

For companies that depend on shipping to serve customers, the fastest delivery option does not always provide the best operational outcome. A shipment that arrives quickly but requires extensive manual intervention, creates unexpected costs, or generates customer service issues may introduce problems elsewhere in the business.

Gene Kwon’s experience developing businesses across different industries, including his involvement in shipping and logistics through eHub, has informed his interest in how companies evaluate operational performance.

“Speed matters, but it shouldn’t be the only thing a business measures,” said Kwon. “You also have to consider whether the process is reliable, whether customers know what to expect, and how much work is required to deliver that result.”

Looking Beyond Delivery Times

As businesses manage shipping across multiple providers and service levels, measuring performance can become increasingly complicated.

Delivery times provide useful information, but they don’t necessarily reveal the full cost of a shipping operation. Businesses may also need to examine shipment exceptions, customer inquiries, billing accuracy, and the time employees spend resolving problems.

Kwon believes evaluating these factors together can help organizations identify weaknesses that might otherwise remain unnoticed.

A shipping process that requires frequent manual corrections, for example, may be less efficient than one with slightly longer delivery times but fewer disruptions.

The objective is not to reduce the importance of speed. Instead, businesses can benefit from understanding how speed fits into the broader customer experience and operational requirements.

The Role of Consistency in Customer Expectations

Customers increasingly expect clear information about their orders and dependable delivery estimates. When those expectations are not met, the consequences can extend beyond the shipment itself.

Customer service teams may need to investigate delays, explain tracking discrepancies, or coordinate replacements. These activities require time and resources that are not always reflected in basic shipping performance reports.

“Customers need to know what they can expect,” Kwon explained. “A company that consistently delivers on a realistic commitment can create a better experience than one that promises more than its operation can reliably support.”

For businesses evaluating shipping solutions, this places greater importance on the quality of operational information and the ability to identify recurring service issues.

Using Better Information to Evaluate Shipping Decisions

Technology has made it possible for companies to access more information about shipping activity, but having more data does not automatically improve decision-making.

Businesses need to determine which measurements are useful and how that information should influence their operations.

For example, reviewing delivery performance alongside exception rates and customer support demands may provide a more complete understanding of whether a particular shipping arrangement is working.

Kwon sees practical value in examining how different measurements relate to one another rather than treating each performance indicator separately.

His experience as an entrepreneur and involvement with the Package Shippers Association have kept him connected to conversations about the operational needs of businesses that depend on shipping services.

A Broader Definition of Shipping Performance

As businesses continue evaluating shipping technologies and service providers, Kwon encourages greater attention to the operational demands behind each delivery.

Reliable processes, realistic customer expectations, and useful performance information can help companies make better decisions about the services they provide.

For Kwon, the question is not simply how quickly a package reaches its destination, but whether the entire shipping process operates effectively for the business and its customers.

“Businesses should understand what it takes to deliver the service they’re promising,” Kwon said. “When you look at the full process, you can make more informed decisions about where improvements are actually needed.”

Gene Kwon is an entrepreneur and business leader based in Salt Lake City, Utah. He is a Partner and Co-Founder of Move Method and a Co-Founder of eHub, a company focused on shipping and logistics solutions.

Toronto, Ontario, November 4th, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE ,

Gillian Rotstein, a Toronto-area marketing and communications consultant, is raising concerns about how late many small businesses bring marketing into the decision-making process.

A Problem She Sees Again and Again

Gillian Rotstein works with small businesses and independent brands on marketing strategy, brand positioning, and digital communications. Across that work, she keeps running into the same pattern: marketing gets treated as something to do after the real decisions are already made.

A business picks a name, sets prices, builds a product, and only then asks how to talk about it. By that point, the options are limited. The brand has already been shaped by choices nobody thought to run past a marketing lens.

Rotstein says this is not a small timing issue. It changes what marketing can actually accomplish.

Why the Order Matters

When marketing comes in at the end, its job shrinks to packaging. It can write the copy, pick the colors, and build the posts, but it cannot fix a business that was never positioned clearly in the first place.

Rotstein points out that positioning is a business decision, not a design decision. Who a product is for, what it is competing against, and why a customer should pick it over the alternative: these questions shape pricing, hiring, and even what the business builds next. If marketing is only invited in after those questions are settled, it is reacting instead of informing.

She has seen small businesses spend months on a product and then ask for help explaining it in a weekend. The explaining is the easy part. The hard part, figuring out what makes the business distinct, is the part that needed to happen earlier.

What Gets Lost When Marketing Comes Last

Rotstein describes a few consequences she sees often.

Messaging ends up generic, because it is built to fit a business that was never defined with a customer in mind. Brands end up sounding like their competitors, because nobody asked what made them different before the website was already live.

Budgets get spent twice. A business launches with one message, learns it does not land, and pays again to reposition. Rotstein says this second round is often more expensive and more disruptive than it would have been to think it through at the start.

And founders get discouraged. They did the work, built something real, and then hear that it is not resonating. Often the product is fine. The problem is that nobody connected it to a clear reason for a customer to care, until it was already out in the world.

What She Tells Business Owners Instead

Rotstein’s advice is simple: bring marketing questions into the room earlier, even informally. Before a name is finalized, before a price is set, ask who this is for and why they would choose it. The answer does not need to be polished. It needs to exist.

She also tells founders that marketing is not a department that gets handed a finished business to describe. It is a way of thinking about the customer that should sit next to every other decision, from pricing to hiring to what gets built next.

This does not mean every small business needs a full strategy document before taking a single step. Rotstein works with businesses at every stage, including ones that come to her well after launch. But she says the earlier the thinking happens, the less expensive it is to fix later.

Her consulting work focuses on helping businesses define that positioning clearly, whether they are just starting out or trying to understand why their current messaging has stopped working.

With over 1 million downloads, the NEAR ecosystem’s largest mobile wallet expands its global reach while launching gasless cross-chain swaps across 120+ assets and 35+ blockchains powered by NEAR Intents.

NEAR Mobile is gaining international traction, appearing in App Store rankings across 38 countries over a recent 31-day period, according to app ranking data from Toplify.

The self-custodial wallet reached #1 in Finance in Serbia, #2 in Hungary, and #4 in Moldova and Oman, highlighting its growing visibility across international markets. NEAR Mobile also recently reached #7 in Finance in Finland and Nigeria.

These milestones come amid growing attention around the NEAR ecosystem and its chain abstraction infrastructure. NEAR Intents, the protocol powering cross-chain execution across the ecosystem, has surpassed $33 billion in cumulative volume across 35 blockchains.

With more than one million downloads, NEAR Mobile is the largest mobile wallet in the NEAR ecosystem and continues to expand its capabilities with version 4.0.0, introducing a gasless experience designed to make blockchain interactions significantly simpler.

From Global Adoption to a Gasless Multichain Experience

As NEAR Mobile expands its international reach, its latest update addresses one of crypto’s biggest usability challenges: gas fees.

Traditionally, users interacting with multiple blockchains must maintain different native tokens to pay transaction fees, even when they already hold the assets they want to transfer or swap.

With version 4.0.0, NEAR Mobile sponsors relayer fees for supported transactions, enabling users to swap and move assets across supported networks without needing to hold NEAR or maintain native gas tokens across different blockchains.

Powered by NEAR Intents, NEAR Mobile provides access to more than 120 assets across 35+ blockchains, combining cross-chain execution, unified balances, staking and self-custodial asset management in a single mobile interface.

One Wallet. All Chains. Powered by NEAR.

Unified Balances Across 35+ Blockchains

Beyond removing gas complexity, NEAR Mobile addresses another major challenge in crypto: fragmented liquidity.

A user holding USDC across Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain and TRON traditionally has separate balances that may require manual bridging and network switching to use together.

Through NEAR Intents, NEAR Mobile can present supported liquidity from multiple networks as a unified balance, allowing users to send or swap aggregated assets without manually bridging funds first.

Cross-chain swaps can settle in seconds, bringing the experience closer to using a single financial account rather than navigating multiple independent blockchains.

By abstracting networks, bridges and gas tokens, NEAR Mobile makes NEAR’s chain abstraction technology accessible to everyday users.

The Largest Mobile Wallet in the NEAR Ecosystem

With over one million downloads and growing visibility across international Finance App Store rankings, NEAR Mobile has established itself as a leading consumer application within the NEAR ecosystem.

Available on both iOS and Android, the self-custodial NEAR wallet allows users to create and manage NEAR accounts, send and receive assets, stake NEAR and access multichain functionality directly from their phones.

NEAR Mobile supports onboarding through Google, Apple ID or email, combining a familiar mobile experience with self-custody and on-chain account recovery.

Experienced users can alternatively create or import wallets using a traditional mnemonic phrase.

The wallet also provides NEAR staking and access to NPRO staking, currently offering up to 8.58% APY.

As NEAR’s chain abstraction ecosystem continues expanding, NEAR Mobile aims to make its infrastructure accessible through an intuitive consumer-facing application.

The manufacturing AI agent platform links AI-assisted product concepts and 3D review with engineering review and manufacturing quotations, with ordering and contract workflows planned for launch.

Seoul, South Korea, 4th Nov 2026 — SELSEN KOREA, a South Korean product design and manufacturing services company, demonstrated MEO, its manufacturing AI agent platform, to international buyers during the second phase of the 140th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) in Guangzhou, China. The company plans to officially launch MEO in late December 2026.

Developed and operated by SELSEN KOREA, MEO connects AI-assisted product design, 3D model review, engineering and design for manufacturing (DFM) review, and manufacturing quotations in one online workflow. It brings together product development tasks that are typically handled across separate tools and suppliers.

Built by a design and manufacturing services company

SELSEN KOREA provides product design, mechanical design, DFM consulting, prototyping, CNC machining, and mold manufacturing, with offices in Seoul and Daejeon and manufacturing operations in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China. MEO reflects that background: AI supports early concept exploration, while SELSEN KOREA’s engineers review and finalize production data.

How MEO works

MEO combines two connected modules. AI Design supports concept development and 3D form review, while MEO CLOUD handles manufacturing quotations. Users can transfer a model from AI Design to MEO CLOUD with one click.

In AI Design, users sketch a form in 2D or build it from 3D blocks, describe the product, and choose a material. MEO generates rendered concepts that users can refine with plain-language instructions, such as requesting rounder corners. Users can also upload component models to generate housing design concepts. A selected concept can be converted into a 3D model, split into parts, assigned materials by part, and exported as GLB, OBJ, or STL files.

In MEO CLOUD, users upload STEP or STL files or transfer a model from AI Design, then select a process, material, and quantity. Process options include CNC machining, 3D printing, injection mold manufacturing, and press tooling. Automated geometry measurement and DFM rules estimate tooling costs, unit prices, and lead times for the selected process.

At launch, MEO is planned to support ordering and payment, with electronic contracts signed through SELSEN SIGN. AI-generated renders and 3D models are intended for form review; production data is finalized through SELSEN KOREA’s engineering and DFM review. Final quotations may change depending on part complexity and manufacturing conditions.

Preparing for international collaboration

Ahead of the official launch, Korean product design companies including DEFAMOUS and Nexion Lab have joined MEO as design partners. SELSEN KOREA is also preparing the platform for international clients. MEO includes browser-based video meetings with live translated subtitles in seven languages, voice-enabled AI agent chat, and shared project folders. SELSEN SIGN electronic contracts, planned for launch, include identity verification, sequential signing, and an audit trail.

At the Canton Fair, SELSEN KOREA used MEO to show how product concept development, review, manufacturing quotations, and production preparation can be connected within one workflow.

MEO is a manufacturing AI agent platform developed and operated by SELSEN KOREA, with an official launch planned for late December 2026. It connects AI-assisted product design and 3D form review through AI Design with manufacturing quotations through MEO CLOUD.
