HONG KONG, Oct. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Caretia, a local tech startup based at Hong Kong Science Park, today announced that its AI-powered lung cancer screening platform has achieved initial milestones and entered a new phase of development. This progress aligns closely with the direction set out in the 2025 Policy Address, where Chief Executive Mr. John Lee indicated that the government would comprehensively enhance cancer prevention and diagnosis and specifically recommended launching AI-assisted lung cancer screening.

According to data from the HK Cancer Online Resource Hub, lung cancer remains one of the most common cancers in Hong Kong and is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. A core challenge contributing to its high mortality rate is that early-stage lung cancer typically presents no obvious symptoms. By the time symptoms emerge, the condition has often progressed to an intermediate or advanced stage. While low-dose computed tomography is internationally recognised as an effective method for early detection, its widespread adoption in screening programmes still faces practical challenges.

Caretia’s team, composed of postgraduate research students and graduates from The University of Hong Kong and The Chinese University of Hong Kong in fields including medicine and computer science, has been developing and refining its AI model over the past year to improve screening efficiency and reduce costs. The company is also partnering with local charitable organisations to subsidise lung health screenings for underprivileged communities in Hong Kong. This initiative not only provides critical early screening for those in need but also generates valuable, locally-relevant clinical data to further enhance the AI model’s accuracy for the Hong Kong population.

“We welcome the latest Policy Address and are greatly encouraged by its focus on leveraging AI technology to enhance cancer screening and diagnosis,” said Philip Tsang, Co-Founder and CEO of Caretia. “Our ongoing R&D in AI-assisted CT scan analysis is designed to identify early-stage lesions proactively. If lung cancer can be detected and treated at an initial stage, patient recovery rates can be significantly improved, while also substantially reducing public and private healthcare costs.”

Philip also added, “As a locally-rooted tech team, we are ready to contribute to the healthcare sector. We look forward to uniting Hong Kong’s best innovative talents and fostering close collaboration between government health authorities, academic institutions, and the science research community to collectively build a healthier future.”

The company is currently focused on developing solutions in the fields of medical imaging and public health.

SHANGHAI, Oct. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — PATEO CONNECT Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “PATEO “, stock code: 2889.HK) released its first interim report since its IPO, showing robust improvements across key financial metrics, with gross profit growing by 38.3%.

In the first half of 2025, PATEO’s revenue reached RMB 10.86 billion, a year-on-year increase of 26.2%. Gross profit amounted to RMB 1.56 billion, up 38.3% year-on-year, while the gross profit margin rose by 1.3 percentage points compared to the same period last year.

The growth in key indicators highlighted in PATEO’s interim report is attributed to the company’s successful high-end product strategy, enhanced core business capabilities, and industry-leading R&D strength.

PATEO’s shipments of intelligent cockpit domain controllers increased from approximately 300,000 units in the same period last year to 400,000 units, of which 160,000 were high-end SoC domain controllers, further consolidating the company’s competitive advantage in the high-end intelligent cockpit sector.

The strengthening and improvement of the company’s core business capabilities resulted in two key areas of steady growth in the interim report: revenue from smart cockpit solutions reached RMB 1,039.6 million, a year-on-year increase of 25.9%; and revenue from connected services reached RMB 44.2 million, a year-on-year increase of 37.9%.

The interim report shows that PATEO Automotive’s R&D expenditure increased by 17.4% year-on-year, and PATEO ranked first among domestic smart cockpit and connected service solution providers in terms of the number of registered invention patents. As of June 30, 2025, the company had been granted 1,785 patents, 935 of which were invention patents. During the same period, PATEO Automotive had applied for 6,088 patents, 5,026 of which were invention patents, accounting for approximately 82.6% of its total patent applications.

Coinciding with its successful listing on the Hong Kong stock market, PATEO also jointly announced with the Porsche brand a collaboration to develop a new generation of in-vehicle infotainment systems tailored for the Chinese market.

As Chairman Ying Zhenkai (also known as Ying Yilun) stated in the company’s semi-annual report, “PATEO has achieved fruitful results through deepening collaboration across the upstream and downstream supply chains of its core businesses, with outstanding performance from high-end products, steady progress in overseas business, and significant growth in revenue.” These steadily growing financial figures, combined with the company’s clear growth trajectory and focus on the market, promise to deliver even more compelling returns to investors.

DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released its latest Bybit x Block Scholes Crypto Derivatives Analytics Report in collaboration with Block Scholes. The latest edition highlights limited impact of the ongoing US government shutdown on digital assets, renewed caution in the options market, and growing momentum for privacy tokens such as Zcash (ZEC).

Key Highlights

• Limited Impact from U.S. Shutdown: Bitcoin and Ethereum quickly rebounded from late-September liquidations, with BTC trading above $118K and ETH at $4,400.
• Options Market Cautious: BTC and ETH volatility remains suppressed, but options pricing continues to favor puts, reflecting defensive positioning.
• Privacy Tokens Outperform: Zcash (ZEC) nearly doubled, fueled by new integrations and rising concerns over global surveillance.

The report notes that despite macroeconomic uncertainty, crypto assets have shown resilience in spot markets. Following September’s liquidation-driven correction, Bitcoin and Ethereum both staged recoveries, supported by stabilized trading flows.

Bitcoin’s implied volatility collapsed to levels not seen since mid-2023, reflecting subdued realized volatility. However, options markets remain defensive, with long-dated tenors continuing to price in downside risk through put-skewed volatility smiles.

Ethereum options also reveal a risk-averse posture. Volumes surged during ETH’s September dip, with positioning heavily favoring puts. Spot ETF outflows further underlined market caution, while implied volatility continued to trend lower throughout the month.

Privacy-focused assets, particularly Zcash, stood out recently. ZEC nearly doubled in value, bolstered by the launch of Zashi CrossPay, its integration with THORSwap, and heightened global debate over digital surveillance. Its strong performance outpaced other leading privacy tokens.

The full analysis is available in the Bybit x Block Scholes Crypto Derivatives Analytics Report.
