BRUSSELS, Feb. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mars, Incorporated – the leading pet care business – has announced the launch of the Pets and Wellbeing Study (PAWS) program. PAWS is set to become the world’s largest, multi-year research program exploring the impact of cats and dogs on mental health and wellbeing, deepening our understanding of the mutual benefits of the human-animal bond.

Pet owner and their cat bonding: Mars launches landmark global study into the human-animal bond

Led by the Waltham Petcare Science Institute in collaboration with leading academic institutions and experts, PAWS will examine the connection between pets and human mental health and wellbeing (including stress, anxiety, loneliness and overall wellbeing). The multi-disciplinary research program will engage over 35,000 people across 20+ countries in the initial phase and will continue to build over time. The program aims to bring deeper insight and scientific data into the mutual benefits of the human-animal bond, including how pets may enrich lives and how the bond contributes to the life of pets.

Loïc Moutault, President of Mars Petcare, said: “As a pet owner, I know firsthand the joy and comfort pets bring to our lives and there is increasing evidence that owning a pet or simply interacting with one can bring benefits to people of all ages and from all walks of life. We’re aiming to deliver on our Purpose: A Better World for Pets, because we believe pets make our lives better, and through this study program we aim to provide deeper, science-backed understanding of the mutual bond between people and pets.”

Over the lifetime of the study program the collaborative research will include work with academic institutions and partners including Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University, University of Maryland School of Nursing, University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Liverpool, University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine, YouGov and the Human Animal Bond Research Institute, with the aim to deliver novel research and new insights.

Dr Maggie O’Haire, Associate Dean for Research at the University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine said: “Both the breadth and depth of this study program promise to deliver novel data and greater insight into something many people instinctively feel – that the bond between pet and pet owner is a powerful and unique part of the human experience. We are proud to continue to collaborate with Mars and its world-leading research institute as it embarks on this transformative work.”

As part of the program, Mars is also partnering with Calm, a leading mental health company. The collaboration combines Calm’s expertise in mental wellness with Mars’ leading research into the human-animal bond and will encompass research and content through 2025.

Dr. Chris Mosunic, Chief Clinical Officer, Calm said: “Pets are daily sources of calm, joy, and connection. Through our partnership with Mars, we aim to understand these relationships better and illuminate the unique role pets play in mental health and wellbeing, supported by new in-app resources.”

Wellbeing has become an increasingly vital priority with 45% of people across 31 countries identifying mental health as their top health concern.² At the same time, global anxiety and stress levels are rising, affecting over 301 million people worldwide.¹ A growing body of evidence shows that pets can have a positive impact on mental health, underscoring the powerful potential of human-animal interaction to enhance wellbeing.^3,4 With 56% of people worldwide owning pets and a global pet population of 1 billion, understanding the universal and transformative bond between humans and animals has never been more important.³

Mars advocates for the essential role companion animals play in our lives and is committed to tackling issues such as pet homelessness to keep pets and people together. Over the next five years, Mars aims to support millions of vulnerable pets worldwide alongside a coalition of dedicated partners and believes a deeper understanding of the role pets play in people’s lives will contribute to improving the lives of pets and the people who care for them.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Together AI, the leading AI Acceleration Cloud, today announced a $305 million Series B investment led by General Catalyst and co-led by Prosperity7. The round saw participation from a distinguished group of global institutional and strategic investors including Salesforce Ventures, DAMAC Capital, NVIDIA, Kleiner Perkins, March Capital, Emergence Capital, Lux Capital, SE Ventures, Greycroft, Coatue, Definition, Cadenza Ventures, Long Journey Ventures, Brave Capital, Scott Banister, and technology pioneer John Chambers.

The funding round, which values the company at $3.3 billion, arrives as Together AI unveils plans for an unprecedented expansion of its AI Acceleration Cloud, with plans for large deployment of NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs. This strategic investment will further accelerate Together AI’s position as the leading end-to-end platform for building with open source models. Together AI’s enterprise-grade inference and fine-tuning capabilities have already transformed how over 450,000 AI developers, AI-native companies, and global enterprises like Salesforce, Zoom, SK Telecom, Hedra, Cognition, Zomato, Krea, Cartesia, and The Washington Post build modern AI applications.

“Vipul and team have built an incredible tech platform and business, emerging as a dominant player in AI infrastructure in less than two years. I was introduced to them when I invested in their first angel round and have witnessed firsthand the evolution of a product that, today, many Fortune 100 clients use to train, finetune, and run inference on models at scale,” said Marc Bhargava, managing director at General Catalyst. “Together AI’s mission to be the full stack AI cloud is truly inspiring, and General Catalyst brings the go-to-market expertise and ambition to supercharge this goal.”

Open source models like DeepSeek-R1 and Meta’s Llama have emerged as formidable alternatives to proprietary solutions, marking a decisive shift in the AI landscape. Together AI has established itself as the definitive platform powering this transformation for developers, AI-native companies, and global enterprises to leverage open source AI with unrivaled speed and efficiency. Together AI delivers the fastest DeepSeek-R1 and Llama inference at production scale through its secure, private infrastructure and research innovations.

“AI is transforming every industry, creating unprecedented efficiencies and enabling entirely new classes of products. We have built a cloud company for this AI-first world — combining state-of-the-art open source models and high performance infrastructure, with frontier research in AI efficiency and scalability,” said Together AI CEO Vipul Ved Prakash. “Our AI Acceleration Cloud uniquely provides organizations with the performance, security, and functionality required to train frontier models and build production-scale AI applications with incredible cost efficiency.

This proprietary technology stack delivers 24% faster training operations while significantly reducing costs for customers like Pika Labs.

“Recent developments in open source AI illustrate the importance of Together AI’s work in making access to models like these secure, accessible, and powerful for organizations here in the U.S. and around the world,” said Prosperity7 Ventures Managing Director Abhishek Shukla. “Together AI’s ability to do this while accelerating the process, increasing efficiencies and reducing costs makes Together AI an exceptional resource for even large, global businesses.”

Together AI’s research lab continues to pioneer breakthrough methods at the intersection of AI and systems research, with open source contributions like Mixture of Agents, Medusa, Sequoia, Hyena, and Mamba driving innovation across the industry.

The company’s leadership position has been reinforced by milestone achievements at an extraordinary pace.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a recent announcement, Bestqool is upgrading both the Pro100 and Pro200 to the four-wavelength configuration (630 nm, 660 nm, 850 nm, 940 nm) as the Pro 300, without increasing the price. Apart from this upgrade, Bestqool has also introduced a second-gen light mobile stand that is more controllable and powerful than its predecessor.

Bestqool is one of the earliest brands in the red light therapy industry, pursuing innovation in product development to meet the emerging needs in health and wellness. These new products further demonstrate how Bestqool is committed to transforming lives by ensuring people have access to high-quality red light therapy at home.

Two New Wavelengths Unlocking Diverse Medical Benefits

The Pro100 and Pro200 were initially available with two wavelengths, 660 nm and 850 nm, which assist in inflammation reduction and blood circulation. Two new wavelengths have been added with the recent upgrade —630 nm and 940 nm. These new additions stretch the spectrum and make the devices more versatile and able to cater to a wider range of consumer needs.

• The red light of 630 nm has a better effect on super shallow skin layers, can promote skin repair, and improve skin quality.
• 940 nm near-infrared light has better penetrating ability, which can penetrate deep tissues, relieve chronic pain, and improve joint function.

For users, the availability of these two wavelengths adds more effective therapies targeting multiple pain points and conditions. From mood improvement to ocular fatigue relief, hair growth support, cognitive function aid, and energy and immunity boosting, Bestqool’s professional-grade apparatus allows users to physically and mentally lead a healthier, more powerful existence that enables them to live with greater enjoyment in today’s speedily changing world.

Upgraded mobile stand and powerful panel light ≠ heavy and clumsy

Bestqool is dedicated to improving user experience, which is evident from their second-generation mobile stand. This stand provides easy adjustment for large-volume red light devices during home therapy sessions, enhancing safety and comfort while performing therapy. 

Key Upgrades:

• Less weight: Easy to handle and carry.
• More Robust: Designed to withstand the rigors of commercial use.
• Customer friendly: Better coordination between the customer and the mounted equipment.

The 2nd Gen mobile stand is also compatible with 99% of the red light therapy products available today; with its help, even users of other brands devices can have a higher level of use experience. The refined stand facilitates the setup of multiple devices, producing an enjoyable and flexible experience for users.

Cost Effectiveness: Major Benefit for Customers

One of the standout features of the Pro Series upgrade is that despite adding two other wavelengths, Bestqool has not increased the price of the Pro100 and Pro200. The upgrade ensures that consumers can access cutting-edge, multi-band therapy at the same price level, making it one of the most cost-effective solutions in the world of red light therapy.

Also, users don’t have to buy multiple devices for their needs. With the updated Pro Series, one device can meet a variety of needs, spanning post-workout recovery, muscle and joint pain relief, skin repair, and enhanced cognitive function. This flexibility allows individuals to explore their health with greater accessibility and cost-effectiveness.

The Ingenious Technology Behind the Upgrade

The upgraded Pro100 and Pro200 are designed to produce the best results possible, according to the R&D team at Bestqool, who has reportedly left no stone unturned. The following improvements were done:

• Optimized Spectrum Ratio: The spectrum ratio of 630 nm, 660 nm, 850 nm and 940 nm has been finely tuned to achieve optimal synergy of the four wavelengths. This maintains that each of the wavelengths is colluding to provide maximum therapeutic effects without wasting any energy. This results in a more powerful and efficient device.
• Dual-Chip Lamp Beads: The Pro100 and Pro200 now employ an innovative dual-chip lamp bead design. This enables the devices to work at the new wavelengths while still providing stable, reliable output. This improves performance without sacrificing longevity or power efficiency of the device.
• Upgraded Circuit / Improved Heat Dissipation: The devices now feature two additional wavelengths, which require higher power input, leading to excessive heat generation. To ensure the devices stay safe and efficient even at high output conditions, Bestqool has adopted an upgraded version of the circuit design and heat dissipation system. With this upgrade, it ensures smooth and durable performance of Pro Series products for users.
• Increased Device Longevity: The technical features of the Pro Series contribute to the longevity of the devices. Optimized parts in addition to increased heat dissipation give users the reassurance that these new models will provide safe and effective operation for many years with no performance degradation.

About Bestqool

With a commitment to providing high-quality red light therapy solutions that are affordable and accessible to all, Bestqool invests significantly in R&D to ensure each product meets the highest standards of both quality and performance. This dedication to constant development and service quality has earned them countless loyal customers as the franchise continues to set the standard in the wellness industry.
