VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — WAT Medical Enterprise Ltd. proudly announced the publication of a groundbreaking clinical trial in The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery (JBJS) which demonstrates the significant benefits of the EmeTerm wristband in reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA) under spinal anesthesia.

The study aimed to evaluate whether the addition of the EmeTerm wristband to conventional antiemetic therapy could enhance prevention of PONV after orthopedic surgeries. This randomized controlled study involving 348 patients undergoing THA or TKA under spinal anesthesia were assigned to receive either (1) standard antiemetics alone (dexamethasone and ondansetron) or (2) antiemetics combined with the EmeTerm bracelet. PONV incidence, severity, and recovery quality were assessed over 24 hours post-surgery.

The combined use of the EmeTerm wristband and antiemetics significantly reduced PONV occurrence and improved overall recovery quality. Specifically: The combination of the EmeTerm wristband and antiemetic medication achieved a significantly higher complete response rate than medication alone (84.0% vs. 68.8%; p = 0.001)(Figure 1). Within the critical first 6 postoperative hours, combined use of the EmeTerm wristband substantially enhanced antiemetic efficacy: Nausea incidence reduced from 24.3% to 6.9%; Vomiting incidence reduced from 15.0% to 2.3%(Figure 2). Level of Evidence is Therapeutic Level l.

The study concludes that EmeTerm can significantly enhance the effectiveness of standard antiemetic protocols for orthopedic patients under spinal anesthesia. This study provides rigorous evidence that the EmeTerm wristband can meaningfully enhance standard antiemetic therapy and improve recovery outcomes after orthopedic procedures. The findings open a new pathway for integrating non-pharmacological interventions into perioperative care.

The EmeTerm wristband, developed by WAT Medical Enterprise, delivers transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) at the median nerve PC6 position on the wrist to regulate nausea pathways through neural modulation. The device has received medical device certifications from the FDA, HC, TGA and actively renewing its CE certification, which expected to be completed in Q1 2026.

This study provides strong evidence that the EmeTerm wristband effectively enhances the performance of standard antiemetic regimens, offering a drug-free, reusable, and patient-friendly solution for managing PONV. By integrating EmeTerm into perioperative care, hospitals can help patients recover faster and more comfortably, while reducing dependence on medication. This approach aligns with global trends toward multimodal, patient-centered recovery.

Key Points

• Backed by the intelligence of the IBM Cloudability platform and integration with Terraform, Cloudability Governance helps FinOps teams and engineers proactively understand cloud cost implications, forecast and comply with internal policies before deploying infrastructure.
• IBM Kubecost 3.0 represents the most comprehensive evolution of Kubecost to-date, delivering capabilities and enhancements to set a new Apptio standard for applying FinOps practices to Kubernetes deployments.
• New Apptio FinOps solutions are purpose-built for AI demand, empowering organizations with end-to-end visibility across cloud environments to derive practitioner efficiencies and actionable insights.

BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Apptio, an IBM company (NYSE: IBM), today unveiled next-generation FinOps solutions from IBM Cloudability and IBM Kubecost designed to enhance visibility and optimize cloud costs across complex, AI-driven environments. 

Apptio, an IBM company

As enterprises accelerate AI development, IT leaders are under increasing pressure to manage escalating costs effectively. IDC estimates that enterprise investments in AI infrastructure will reach $571 billion globally in 2026. Yet, according to an Apptio study, 55% of business leaders surveyed say they lack the information needed to evaluate technology spend effectively. FinOps provides an operational framework to address these challenges by empowering organizations with real-time visibility, financial accountability and management of cloud costs, maximizing business value and collaboration.

“Generative AI is not only pushing the limits of cloud infrastructure; it’s challenging the ability of technology and business leaders to make informed decisions and evaluate tech spend ROI. The AI era is one of information and compute-power overload,” said Eugene Khvostov, Chief Product Officer at Apptio. “So, it’s imperative for organizations to gain control over their cloud and data estate. That’s the first step in harnessing the AI opportunity and exactly what our new FinOps solutions are designed to address – proactive, and predictive cloud cost management.” 

Cloudability Governance: Proactive Control Across Multi-Cloud Environments

Infrastructure as Code helps teams scale cloud infrastructure with speed and consistency. But without FinOps alignment, there can be financial blind spots—where teams deploy at speed but may lack insights into the financial impact of their infrastructure decisions.

Backed by Cloudability and now integrated with HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) and Hashicorp Terraform, Cloudability Governance is specifically designed to empower FinOps teams with greater control over cloud infrastructure deployments by automating cost compliance monitoring and applying defined organizational policy – all within the engineering workflow. This includes: 

• Reliably scale infrastructure using infrastructure as code. Centralized state management, secure execution, and team collaboration support consistent, deployments—and can help reduce risk and accelerate delivery across complex cloud environments.
• Enact informed policies for infrastructure provisioning with built-in checks that guide or enforce best practices like ensuring the correct organizational tags are applied. Integrate personalized cost estimates and financial guardrails to help teams make informed, proactive decisions and stay aligned with budgets before deployment.
• Control cloud spend with near real-time visibility into actual cloud costs after deployment and AI-powered recommendations to uncover opportunities to address waste, even ahead of deploying infrastructure. Detect anomalies, track spend against expectations and validate infrastructure decisions based on detailed billing data—helping teams stay accountable and optimize their cloud investments.

“Our customers want accurate, real-time visibility into the cost implications of the infrastructure they manage and deploy with HashiCorp Terraform,” said Armon Dadgar, CTO and co-founder of HashiCorp, an IBM company. “With native bi-directional integration between HashiCorp Terraform and Cloudability, engineers gain visibility into infrastructure costs, embedded governance checks, and optimization opportunities directly within their workflows.”

Kubecost 3.0: Setting a New Standard for Kubernetes Cost Management  

Kubecost 3.0 represents the most advanced evolution of Kubernetes cost management to date, built to help enterprises tackle the complexities of managing their Kubernetes environments at scale. With this latest version, Kubernetes teams gain access to: 

• Enhanced tools for unified resource management that provide a comprehensive view across clusters, streamlining cost allocation and resource utilization.
• Advanced savings recommendations, enabling precise identification of opportunities to optimize usage and eliminate inefficiencies.
• Comprehensive savings recommendations, featuring automated container right-sizing, advanced GPU monitoring and optimization powered by NVIDIA’s DCGM exporter, and enhanced node group sizing insights. These new capabilities were built for teams to quickly identify inefficiencies and take action to address costs across all workloads.
• Enhanced capabilities for scalability and security, helping to ensure that organizations can grow their Kubernetes deployments while prioritizing security and operational control in even the most complex cloud environments.

Cloudability Governance integration with HCP and Terraform Enterprise is available today in public preview. Kubecost 3.0 is generally available now. Apptio will demonstrate the new solutions at the annual TBM Conference and at KubeCon North America (Booth 800), showcasing how organizations can leverage FinOps for strategic business advantage.

CYBERJAYA, Malaysia, Nov. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Elitery, a leading managed service provider from Indonesia, through its Malaysian subsidiary Elitery Global Technology Sdn. Bhd. (Elitery Malaysia), in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and several leading universities across Malaysia, proudly announced the launch of the CendekiAwan Malaysia Program. The initiative officially launches with three charter universities: Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), and Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM), with up to eight more universities on track to join.

In total, the CendekiAwan Malaysia Program aims to train 20,000 students from up to eleven universities across Malaysia, equipping them with practical Cloud Computing and Generative AI skills. The program will also host two national-level competitions: one featuring the Top 200 AI applications and another recognizing the Top 5 projects with real-world impact. Open to students from all academic disciplines, the program is designed to empower Malaysia’s next generation of digital talent, fostering creativity, innovation, and the development of future-ready skills essential for success in today’s digital economy.

The CendekiAwan Malaysia Program supports Malaysia’s MyDIGITAL Blueprint and the Ministry of Higher Education’s certification agenda. By joining as beneficiary universities, participating institutions will gain significant advantages through access to AWS-led learning and mentorship programs. For students, they will have access to AWS Skill Builder courses on Cloud Computing and Generative AI, hands-on experience through PartyRock, an Amazon Bedrock playground, and certificates of completion under AWS’s Future Builders initiative, part of AWS’s Training & Certification program. The program uses a carefully designed knowledge cascade: AWS experts first train Elitery’s professional trainers who then conduct dedicated Train-the-Trainer sessions for 8-12 faculty members from each university. These trained lecturers then become the primary educators who directly teach cloud computing and generative AI skills to their students.

While the universities benefit from co-hosting opportunities for AWS-led events and competitions, enhance research collaboration, and strengthen visibility in Malaysia’s digital transformation ecosystem.

“Elitery has always believed that technology is truly meaningful only when it empowers people. Wherever it may be, we remain committed to supporting Malaysia’s vision of building a future-ready digital workforce. This collaboration with AWS and leading universities marks an important milestone in Elitery’s journey to deliver innovation, inclusivity, and real-world impact across the region,” said Kresna Adiprawira, President Director of Elitery.

“Exposing students to AI skills at the earliest stages of their education is a step in the right direction for Malaysia’s future competitiveness,” said Emmanuel Pillai, Head of ASEAN, Education & Training at AWS. “The CendekiAwan Malaysia Program represents our belief that AI literacy is as fundamental as reading or mathematics, and we’re committed to democratizing access to these skills across all academic disciplines. Through initiatives like PartyRock, we’re fostering a culture of experimentation where young Malaysians learn by doing, testing ideas rapidly, and building confidence in their technical abilities.”

Running from November 2025 to January 2026, the CendekiAwan Malaysia Program will culminate in a national competition in February 2026, where students will showcase their PartyRock projects applying AI and cloud knowledge gained from the program. This initiative reflects AWS and Elitery’s shared mission to bridge Malaysia’s digital skills gap, foster innovation, and build a future-ready workforce. With strong partnerships across academia, government, and industry, the CendekiAwan Malaysia Program is expected to become a landmark success in nurturing Malaysia’s next generation of digital leaders.
