CASEKOO ClipSafe™. LinKOO Silver Ease. You, hands-free.

LOS ANGELES, April 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CASEKOO is a design-led lifestyle brand dedicated to creating style-forward iphone cases for life in motion. Built for Innovation Enthusiasts and Style Pioneers, the brand designs for real human habits—not rigid assumptions. The LinKOO in the new Silver Ease finish with ClipSafe™ embodies this philosophy: purposeful protection meets personal expression, giving you the freedom to move through formal meetings or casual weekends without missing a moment. It’s not just an accessory. It’s designed to fit you more.

How does a push-to-open phone case mechanism work? That philosophy came from watching real people struggle. “We kept watching people dig their fingernails into phone grips, struggling to pop them out, or leaving them permanently extended and getting caught on pockets,” said Ralph, CEO of CASEKOO. “So we flipped the thinking. With ClipSafe™, you don’t pull — you push. A simple push on the bottom of your phone pops it out, ready to hook onto a strap, a belt, or a bag. Then push it back, and it folds flat against your phone, sliding naturally into a pocket or purse. No digging. No snagging. Just one motion that fits the way you actually move through your day.”

That intuitive push-to-open mechanism is why LinKOO has quickly emerged as one of the most talked-about accessories in the hands-free space. Since its initial launch, users have built a passionate following around ClipSafe™ technology — not because they were told to, but because it created real freedom: no more fumbling, no more dropped phones, no more interrupted moments.

So how to choose a phone case that matches both formal and casual outfits? The new Silver Ease finish makes that choice effortless. The clear phone case reveals your phone’s original design, while the silver platinum finish on the side catches light like brushed metal. The result is elegant — but never at the expense of function. The subtle metallic gradient shifts from cool silver to a soft twilight hue, so it naturally complements formal attire (suit fabrics, dress shirts, leather bags) and casual wear (denim, nylon, sportswear) without ever feeling out of place. It marks CASEKOO’s first step toward a luxury and elegant brand identity.

This launch follows the breakout success of LinKOO in Vivid Orange, which debuted in late March and quickly became a fan favorite. That vibrant, energy-packed color resonated with users who wanted their accessories to make a statement. Silver Ease answers a different need: quiet confidence. It’s for the user who wants protection and hands-free freedom without drawing attention — just clean, understated elegance that works everywhere.

“We’ve built an incredible community of users who tell us LinKOO has changed how they move through their day — from the office to the gym to parenting,” said Charlotte, brand representative at CASEKOO. “Vivid Orange proved there’s huge appetite for color that pops. Silver Ease is the other side of that coin — sophisticated, seamless, and still 100% functional. Together, they give us a chance to invite a whole new audience into the hands-free life.”

About LinKOO
LinKOO is the world’s first phone case to implement ClipSafe™ technology, now available in Vivid Orange, Silver Ease, and Midnight Blue. First unveiled in March 2026 as a celebration of spring’s vibrant energy, LinKOO introduced a patented clasp at the base of the case that securely holds a chain or wristlet — then folds completely flat against the phone when not in use. The original insight came from watching people juggle phones in crowded commutes, workout floors, and home kitchens. The solution — ClipSafe™ — was engineered to disappear when you don’t need it and act instantly when you do. Today, LinKOO bridges formal and casual scenes, effort and ease, designed to be used all day without a second thought. With interchangeable chain compatibility and a transformative 2-in-1 design, it’s the accessory that sparks curiosity and invites connection.

Berlin Heals Presents Positive Late Breaking Results from the CMIC-III First-In-Human Less Invasive Study

  • High Impact Session presented at Heart Rhythm Society’s Congress in Chicago
  • First time showing results of new Less Invasive approach
  • Improvement in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF), 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT), Quality of Life (QOL) and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class.

CHICAGO, April 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Berlin Heals Holding AG, a clinical-stage medical device company focused on transforming the treatment of heart failure (HF) with a first-in-class, durable therapy, announced the presentation of positive results from the First-In-Human (FIH) CMIC-III study.  The study evaluated the safety of a novel, less invasive approach to implanting the cardiac microcurrent (CMIC) device. The data were presented by Dr. Marat Fudim, Associate Professor of Cardiology and HF at Duke University, during a High Impact Science Session at the Heart Rhythm Society’s Annual Congress in Chicago, Illinois.

This marks the first-time the CMIC system has been implanted via an outpatient procedure. The results demonstrated clinically significant improvements in LVEF, 6MWT, QOL and NYHA with a strong safety profile. Notably, these results are consistent with the robust outcomes previously observed in studies using the pericardial surgical implantation approach. To date, a total of 52 patients have been implanted across 3 studies.

“Earlier heart failure studies of microcurrent therapy demonstrated compelling clinical benefits but required a surgical implantation approach.” Said Sr. Author of the study Professor William T. Abraham, M.D., College of Medicine Distinguished Professor at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. “These new data from the CMIC-III study show that we can achieve comparable improvements using a less invasive, outpatient procedure, significantly enhancing the safety profile and expanding access to a much broader population of patients.”

Berlin Heals has initiated Phase II of the CMIC-III less invasive FIH study. This next phase will evaluate the therapy in patients with mildly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF >40% and <50%) expanding the clinical experience into a broader heart failure population. In parallel the company will launch the C-MIC-IV double blind sham- controlled trial, enrolling patients with both non-ischemic and ischemic heart failure and LVEF of 20-40%, primarily across Western European centers.

Together, these two studies are expected to increase the total number of implanted patients to approximately 122, generating critical data to inform the design and significantly de-risk the FDA IDE pivotal trial for market approval.

Berlin Heals Holding AG is a Swiss joint-stock company founded in 2014. The company’s C-MIC technology delivers a constant electrical microcurrent to the heart, generating a localized electrical field designed to improve cardiac function. Based on clinical studies to date, this approach has shown the potential to deliver rapid and sustained benefits for patients suffering from heart failure.

MALAYSIA HEALTHCARE RETURNS TO MEDAN AS INDONESIAN PATIENTS SEEK TRUSTED SECOND OPINIONS ABROAD

MEDAN, Indonesia, April 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Malaysia has steadily emerged as one of the most trusted destinations for Indonesian patients seeking timely and reliable care. Following its last major outreach in 2022, Malaysia Healthcare returns to Medan this year, reconnecting with a community that has long viewed Malaysian hospitals as a gold standard for second medical opinions and complex treatments. Malaysian hospitals are widely recognised for their internationally accredited facilities, specialised medical expertise and patient-centred care, supported by competitive treatment costs and culturally familiar healthcare services.

This long-standing patient movement has gradually formed a strong Medan–Penang healthcare corridor, connecting residents of North Sumatra with Malaysia’s major hospital hubs. The region serves a population catchment of more than 15 million people, with Medan acting as the primary gateway for patients travelling from surrounding areas such as Aceh, Padang, Pekanbaru, and Binjai to seek treatment abroad. The proximity between the two destinations further strengthens this relationship. Located just 160 kilometres across the Straits of Malacca, Penang can be reached from Medan in about a 40-45 minute flight, with approximately 56 weekly flights connecting Medan to Malaysia’s major hospital hubs. This accessibility has made Malaysian hospitals among the most convenient international healthcare options for residents of western Indonesia. The strong demand from Indonesian patients has also played a major role in shaping Malaysia’s healthcare travel ecosystem. Indonesian healthcare travellers contribute significantly to Malaysia’s medical tourism industry, accounting for approximately 65 per cent of the country’s total medical tourism revenue.

Recognising the importance of this long-standing healthcare connection, the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council continues to strengthen engagement with the Medan market through the national Malaysia Healthcare brand. Guided by the Healing Meets Hospitality positioning and supported by the Malaysia Year of Medical Tourism 2026, Malaysia Healthcare aims to deepen regional healthcare collaboration while improving patient access to trusted treatment options across Southeast Asia.

As part of these efforts, Malaysia Healthcare brings together a delegation of leading Malaysian hospitals to Medan through MHX Medan 2026, including Island Hospital Penang, winner of Malaysia’s Flagship Medical Tourism Hospital award, as well as Institut Jantung Negara (IJN), Mahkota Medical Centre and Subang Jaya Medical Centre, which were recipients of multiple accolades under the same award, alongside Alpha IVF & Women’s Specialists, GenPrime Everlink Fertility Centre, Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Gleneagles Hospital Penang, Hospital Picaso, Damansara Specialist Hospital 2, Johor Specialist Hospital, MSU Medical Centre, Northern Heart Hospital Penang, Optimax Eye Specialist Centre, Penang Adventist Hospital, Prince Court Medical Centre, Sunway Medical Centre Sunway City Kuala Lumpur, Sunway Medical Centre Penang and Thomson Hospital Kota Damansara. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet specialists directly, explore treatment options and obtain trusted second medical opinions in key areas frequently sought by Indonesian patients, including cardiology, oncology, orthopaedics, fertility treatment and comprehensive health screening.

MHX Medan 2026 aims to surpass the benchmark set during MHX Medan 2022, which generated 1,514 patient enquiries, with a new target of achieving at least 1,665 healthcare leads from the Medan market. The event is expected to attract families seeking clarity on complex diagnoses, patients considering overseas treatment just a short flight away, as well as healthcare facilitators and industry partners interested in strengthening Malaysia–Indonesia healthcare collaboration.

Stéphane Rolland Transforms Barcelona Bridal Night into a Celebration of Love

BARCELONA, Spain, April 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — French couturier Stéphane Rolland made his Spanish runway debut on Wednesday night at the tenth edition of Barcelona Bridal Night, transforming the gala into a multidisciplinary spectacle of fashion, music, art and poetry. The presentation, held during Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week 2026 (BBFW), marked a milestone for the event and showcased the couturier’s vision of bridal fashion as an emotional and artistic expression.

Under the title Love for Peace, Rolland and his partner Pierre Martinez, serving as artistic director, devised a visual and musical ceremony at Hall 8 of Fira de Barcelona’s Montjuïc venue. Lighting, sound and spatial design drove an optimistic narrative that framed fashion as a universal language and a symbol of peace and hope.

The evening began with a runway show featuring 23 designs created by students from fashion schools IED Barcelona, LCI Barcelona, and ESDI and developed under the direct mentorship of Stéphane Rolland as part of the Sculpted by Nature project. The pieces, crafted from fabrics provided by Gratacós explored the relationship between nature, volume, and organic forms through sculptural silhouettes, precise structures, and meticulous attention to detail, highlighting the passing on of expertise and the intergenerational dialogue that marked the start of the gala.

Rolland then presented 80 looks, including his ready-to-wear bridal line, Noce de Sang, and a selection of signature couture gowns. Nieves Álvarez, a frequent muse of the French master, walked the runway alongside Latin-American top-model Ariadna Gutiérrez, and models as Laura Sánchez, Davinia Pelegrí, Marta Ortiz and Mercedes Muñoz.

The live music was provided by the Barcelona Youth Symphony Orchestra (JOSB), conducted by Carlos Checa and comprising 65 musicians, who accompanied the show with an eclectic and emotional repertoire including works by Chopin, Debussy, Bach or Vivaldi. Actress Nathalie Poza recited Jacques Prévert’s “Cet amour” and excerpts from classic love songs between sequences.

Ahead of BBFW, Rolland donated 22 original sketches now displayed at Barcelona Bridal Night museum installation to raise funds for the Kálida Foundation, which supports people undergoing cancer treatment and their families. The gala concluded with a tenth-anniversary celebration, featuring a commemorative cake created by Lolita Bakery, reinforcing the event’s status as a key international platform in bridal fashion.
