Aligned with Sennheiser’s mission to make collaboration and learning easier, DeviceHub combines remote monitoring, clear oversight, and secure role-based access into one browser-based environment. The launch follows the platform’s initial announcement at InfoComm US in June 2025, marking the next step in a broader DeviceHub roadmap, with additional Sennheiser devices gaining compatibility throughout 2026.

“DeviceHub represents a major step forward in how customers manage their Sennheiser devices,” said Iain Horrocks, Product Marketing Manager, Software & Security, Sennheiser. “By bringing secure, cloud-based control to the entire ecosystem, we’re giving IT and AV teams the tools they need to work more efficiently, collaborate more effectively, and support better learning and meeting experiences…and this is just the beginning.” 

As a single cloud-based platform, DeviceHub makes management of networked Sennheiser devices accessible through any browser. Real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and alerts provide clear insight into device status and performance, helping teams act before issues disrupt meetings, classes, or collaboration spaces, whether on site or remotely.

For IT personnel, DeviceHub simplifies management at scale by organizing devices by room, building, campus, or region in a structure that mirrors real-world environments. This provides a clear view of every space from a single platform, allowing teams to navigate between locations easily, view devices in context, and understand system health at a glance, from a handful of rooms to global estates.

The platform enables teams to collaborate securely across an organization through role-based access, ensuring technicians, administrators, and integrators see and control only what they need, with access limited to the locations and systems relevant to their responsibilities. Support for modern authentication methods reinforces secure collaboration while keeping responsibilities clearly defined, workflows streamlined, and accountability transparent.

Built on Microsoft Azure, security and trust are built into DeviceHub from the start. The platform follows industry-recognised IT security standards across authentication, authorisation, encryption, and data handling. Ongoing evaluation and compliance oversight ensure DeviceHub meets the privacy and security expectations of enterprise and education environments.

Built to grow with an organisation’s needs, DeviceHub will support TeamConnect Bar Solutions at launch, with compatibility expanding across additional Sennheiser devices throughout 2026. A streamlined Local Web UI also supports efficient single-device setup through a browser, reducing software dependencies during installation.  The platform will continue to evolve with new capabilities that strengthen monitoring, configuration, and collaboration across the ecosystem.

Early customers have already provided feedback regarding their experience with DeviceHub, with Guillaume Amaurin, AV Specialist, Sainte-Justine Hospital, Quebec, sharing, “DeviceHub has significantly simplified the management of our infrastructure. A single configuration is enough to onboard a new device, making the onboarding process fast and frictionless. The portal is easy to access and is used daily by the entire team to configure the bars and monitor their usage, wherever we are.”

Alain Lamontagne IT Specialist, Sainte-Justine Hospital, Quebec, added, “Compared to the previous method based on Cockpit, which was limited to a single computer and required the bars to be re-added whenever the machine changed, DeviceHub represents a major gain in both time and flexibility. We are looking forward to being able to add more devices synchronized with the portal.”

Basecare Medical (HK.2170) Receives NMPA Approval for Core Product Geri Medium, Unlocking New Opportunities in Assisted Reproduction

SUZHOU, China, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Basecare Medical (02170.HK) has recently encountered a key catalyst——its Gems one-step embryo culture medium has officially obtained the China Class III Medical Device Registration Certificate (National Medical Products Administration Registration No. 20253180071). This represents a core signal of the company’s strategic transformation implementation and accelerated domestic substitution layout, and is expected to become an important driver for its valuation repair, warranting close attention.

From a market logic perspective, the approval of this product essentially serves as Basecare’s “entry ticket” into the vast blue ocean of the multi-billion-yuan assisted reproductive consumables market. The underlying product strength and market foundation determine the certainty of its subsequent performance delivery, which serves as the core starting point for our analysis of its investment value.


I. Product Strength: Backed by Internationally Mature Assets, Market Competitiveness Need Not Be Overly Concerning

Unlike the model of many domestic enterprises involving “R&D from scratch and long-term investment,” Basecare’s Gems culture medium was acquired as an internationally mature asset – a particularly crucial point. Its technology originates from world-leading assisted reproductive institutions, was developed under the guidance of the “Father of Culture Media,” has undergone 12 years of clinical validation, has helped bring tens of thousands of healthy babies into the world, and has received certifications from multiple regions including the US FDA, European CE, and Australian TGA. Its technological barriers are clear, placing it in the top tier of the industry.

First, R&D risk is eliminated. By acquiring a mature product directly, Basecare has bypassed years of R&D investment and the uncertainty of potential R&D failure, enabling rapid product implementation and market launch, thus shortening the performance delivery cycle. This is a significant advantage for a target with clear expectations for performance improvement.

Second, an existing market foundation is in place. This product was previously authorized for sale by COOK in China, where it has captured 40% of the domestic market share. This means its market acceptance has been fully validated. After Basecare takes over, it can rapidly achieve market penetration without needing to re-cultivate the market, converting the existing market share into its own revenue, providing clear support for performance increment.

Third, demand side exhibits rigidity. Clinical data shows that this product can increase the rate of high-quality embryos by 46%, effectively improving the pregnancy success rate for older couples and reducing miscarriage rates. With domestic demand for fertility at an advanced age continuously rising and the volume of assisted reproductive treatments growing steadily, hospitals’ rigid demand for high-quality consumables provides stable support for the product’s subsequent sales, mitigating concerns about demand falling short of expectations.


II. Industry Analysis: Domestic Substitution + Policy Dividends, Sector Prosperity Continues to Rise

“Sector prosperity” serves as a core dimension for assessing a target’s long-term value. The assisted reproduction sector in which Basecare operates is currently at the intersection of two major trends: “accelerated domestic substitution + release of policy dividends.” The industry’s prosperity is continuously rising, forming the core logic for its long-term investment value.

Previously, the domestic embryo culture medium market was long dominated by overseas giants, characterized not only by relatively high prices but also by supply shortage risks due to international supply chain fluctuations. The need for domestic substitution was urgent. The approval of Basecare’s related product marks a significant breakthrough in the domestic substitution of high-end embryo culture media, precisely aligning with the broader trend of domestic substitution for medical devices in China, offering inherent policy advantages.

Firstly, policy dividends are continuously increasing. The national level persistently promotes fertility support policies. The gradual inclusion of assisted reproductive technology in medical insurance and the implementation of childcare subsidies directly boost the volume of assisted reproductive treatments, thereby driving demand for related consumables. This provides clear policy support for Basecare’s product sales, ensuring a stable demand side for the industry.

Secondly, product competitiveness holds differentiated advantages. Compared to imported products, Basecare’s domestically produced version offers higher cost-effectiveness. It can also be paired with the company’s already approved supporting equipment, providing hospitals with a one-stop solution. This synergistic advantage can effectively enhance market competitiveness, accelerate the import substitution process, and seize market share from overseas giants.

Thirdly, revenue growth has clear expectations. Referring to the product’s previous sales performance in China, if fully rolled out subsequently, it is expected to bring stable revenue increments to Basecare, becoming a new engine for the company’s performance growth. This also serves as a core catalytic factor for short-term performance improvement.

III. Company Transformation: Full-Chain Layout Realized, Valuation Reassessment Holds Imaginative Potential

From the perspective of the company’s development logic, this product approval serves as a key marker of Basecare’s strategic transformation implementation. Previously, the company mainly focused on the preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) business, with a relatively single business scope and weaker risk resistance capability. Through the acquisition of relevant international brands, the company has successfully opened up the full-chain layout of “Testing + Equipment + Consumables,” completing its transformation from a single IVD (in vitro diagnostics) enterprise to a full-chain IVF service provider, further improving its business matrix.

Post-transformation, Basecare can not only provide testing services but also sell products such as embryo culture media and culture equipment. The business synergy is significant, effectively enhancing value per client. More crucially, currently, few domestic enterprises have achieved a full-chain layout in assisted reproduction. This differentiated positioning helps the company break free from the growth bottleneck of a single business and enhance its long-term competitiveness.

From a valuation logic perspective, an improved business structure helps reduce the operational risks associated with a single business, enhances the stability of the company’s profitability, and creates room for a re-evaluation of the company’s valuation. For long-term investors, this transformation towards a full-chain layout serves as a core manifestation of the company’s long-term development potential and a key support for subsequent valuation reassessment.


IV. Investment Analysis and Risk Warning: View Positive News Rationally, Beware of Volatility Risks

Based on the above analysis, the investment value assessment for Basecare Medical (02170.HK) is as follows: In the short term, the product approval serves as a clear positive catalyst. Coupled with the product’s high maturity and solid market foundation, short-term performance growth has a certain degree of certainty, which is expected to drive a valuation repair for the stock price. In the long term, the realization of the full-chain layout, the advancement of domestic substitution, coupled with rising industry prosperity, suggest the company has certain growth potential.

However, investors are reminded to remain rational. The realization of positive news does not necessarily equate to a stock price increase. Relevant risks still need to be monitored, with three key points to focus on:

1.  Performance Realization Risk: Post-approval, the progress of market promotion and customer expansion may fall short of expectations, leading to slower-than-expected revenue growth. This serves as the most critical risk to watch in the short term.

2.  Market Competition Risk: Overseas giants will not easily give up market share and may compete through price reductions, product upgrades, etc. If Basecare cannot achieve rapid market penetration, it may impact performance growth.

3.  Policy and Market Volatility Risk: The assisted reproduction industry is significantly influenced by policy changes. Adjustments to related policies could affect industry demand. Concurrently, the Hong Kong stock market itself is highly volatile; short-term positive news might be digested by market sentiment. Investors need to implement risk control measures.

Comprehensive Assessment: The approval of Basecare’s Gems one-step embryo culture medium represents a significant milestone in the company’s business development and a key step in its strategic transformation and domestic substitution layout. It aligns with the industry development trend and possesses certain investment merit. For small and medium investors, Basecare can be considered a key watchlist target in the assisted reproduction sector. In the long run, with the popularization of assisted reproduction inclusion in medical insurance and the increase in industry concentration, Basecare, as a leading enterprise in the upstream of the industrial chain, its technological barriers and the value of its full industrial chain layout are likely to be repriced by the market. The company’s valuation system stands at a critical juncture of reshaping. The current stock price does not fully reflect its potential in high-barrier technology platforms and future performance conversion, indicating significant room for value reassessment and appreciation.


 

Singapore pioneers a groundbreaking approach to grief support with the world’s first music album and children’s book by Direct Funeral Services


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 February 2026 – Direct Funeral Services, Singapore’s leading funeral service provider, introduces new approaches to grief support with the launch of two pioneering resources: Music for Comfort and The Colours of Missing You.

Music for Comfort is the world’s first music album developed using monaural beats specifically designed for grief support in open spaces, while The Colours of Missing You is a children’s book that guides both young and old through the experience of grief using colour and storytelling. Together, these resources offer gentle, accessible pathways for emotional expression and reflection.

In line with the same commitment to bridging tradition and technology, Direct Funeral Services has also introduced Memory Weave, an AI-driven tool designed to help families honour and celebrate their loved ones through deeply personalised digital tributes, extending remembrance beyond the farewell.

Music for Comfort, a global first in funeral sound healing

Driven by a deep understanding of the needs of grieving families, Direct Funeral Services partnered with The TENG Company to co-develop Music for Comfort. The album is positioned as the world’s first to utilise monaural beats specifically designed for grief support in open environments such as funeral wakes.

Comprising 10 original tracks, the album was developed in collaboration with researchers from the Singapore Institute of Technology, with compositions aligned to the emotional stages of farewell. Early research findings indicate promising reductions in commonly reported grief-related symptoms, including anxiety and emotional overwhelm.

Alongside the album, Memory Weave, an interactive digital tool that offers families and friends a collaborative way to celebrate a life well lived. Attendees can contribute photos, videos, or audio messages via the app. These shared memories are then woven into a personalised digital montage, accompanied by music from the Music for Comfort album and played throughout the wake, offering attendees an intimate and reflective glimpse into the many facets of the departed’s life.

Jenny Tay, Managing Director at Direct Funeral Services, shares, “Every person’s life is a tapestry of stories and moments that deserve to be celebrated. With Memory Weave, we aim to provide families with meaningful ways to remember their loved ones, while creating a deeply personal farewell. By combining innovation with compassion, we hope to honour the beauty of each life lived.”

While Music for Comfort was initially conceived for funeral settings, its therapeutic potential extends beyond death care. The album may also support individuals navigating other forms of emotional loss, including divorce, illness, separation, or major life transitions. Building on The TENG Company’s Music for Mindfulness album released in 2023, Music for Comfort represents a continued exploration into emotional well-being through music. Four of the album’s ten tracks were released on Spotify in the last quarter of 2025:

(https://open.spotify.com/album/1KBClxkYV8YN78UdqTXjw5?si=XeYiRmXwR-mInRV3i vQzLA).

The Colours of Missing You, a tender guide through loss

Written by Darren, The Colours of Missing You is an exquisitely illustrated book that helps both children and adults navigate the intricate emotions of grief. Inspired by Darren’s personal experience of losing his sister in 2022, and drawing on his expertise as a psychotherapist and leader in the deathcare industry. As the third title in a series of grief-support publications, this book uniquely uses the colours of the rainbow to represent the non-linear nature of grief.

Each colour – from red for anger to blue for sadness and indigo for healing – invites readers to acknowledge and process their feelings without judgment. The book’s captivating visuals were brought to life by Shan Jiang, a Shanghai-born, London-based artist renowned for his collaborations with global brands like Nike and NASA.

“The typical ways of addressing grief through silence, avoidance, or clinical terms can feel heavy and inaccessible. What we need is a softer entry point. Music and story help us feel first, before we think,” said Darren TK Cheng, CEO of Direct Funeral Services.

Together, these initiatives by Direct Funeral Services reflect a growing shift towards more compassionate and inclusive approaches to grief support in Singapore, underscoring how thoughtful integration of art, technology and human care can create meaningful spaces for remembrance, reflection and healing.

Checkered Flag Getaways: Agoda Reveals Top Formula 1 Host Destinations Among South Korean Travelers

– Shanghai, Barcelona, and Suzuka lead the list of most popular Formula 1 host destinations

SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The global popularity of Formula 1 (F1) continues to rise, with strong momentum among South Korean fans. Interest increased further following the release of “F1: The Movie” last year, which featured appearances by current F1 drivers including Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, and Lando Norris, introducing the excitement of the sport to a broader audience. With the 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship approaching, digital travel platform Agoda has unveiled the top F1 host destinations in the first half of this year favored by South Korean travelers.

Based on accommodation searches made by South Korean travelers, Shanghai (China) ranked as the most sought-after F1 destination. Barcelona (Spain), Suzuka (Japan), Melbourne (Australia), Montreal (Canda), Monaco, Miami (the U.S.), Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), and Sakhir (Bahrain) followed to complete the top nine racing hotspots, highlighting South Koreans’ growing enthusiasm for attending races in diverse international locations.

Notably, Shanghai and Suzuka secured positions within the top three, likely driven by their close proximity to South Korea and ease of travel within Asia. Melbourne also ranked within the top five, drawing attention as the host of the season-opening race scheduled for the second week of March.

Barcelona ranked highly as its race is set to take place in second week of June, aligning well with early summer vacation trends. Monaco was also placed within the top nine, reflecting its status as a legendary F1 destination. The Monaco Grand Prix has been held annually since 1955, with the exception of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Monaco circuit is renowned for its narrow streets and iconic Fairmont Hairpin, F1’s slowest corner, offering a dramatic and unforgettable viewing experience.

In addition, Miami has gained attention following the attendance of BLACKPINK members Lisa and Rosé at the Miami Grand Prix last year. Interest was further amplified when Rosé participated in the original soundtrack of “F1: The Movie”, capturing the attention of both K-pop and motorsports fans alike.

Jay Lee, Regional Director, North Asia at Agoda, said, “Following the success of the film and renowned K-pop idols attending F1 events, interest in the sport has reached new heights in South Korea. Through Agoda’s wide selection of flights, accommodations, and activities, travelers can not only visit F1 host cities but also fully immerse themselves in the local culture and experiences each destination has to offer.”

Travelers planning trips to upcoming F1 events are encouraged to explore Agoda’s great value deals on over 6 million holiday properties, more than 130,000 flight routes, and over 300,000 activities and experiences that are available on the platform.

Two soft rubber edge-gliding wheels and a fixed side brush further extend cleaning reach, capturing hidden debris that typical vacuums leave behind.
When facing impassable obstacles, the TruePass Adaptive 4-Wheel-Drive Climbing System gives the DEEBOT T90 PRO OMNI unmatched mobility. Two auxiliary levering wheels deploy automatically when needed, using soft rubber gripping teeth to climb single steps up to 2.4 cm and consecutive steps up to 4 cm. This ensures the robot cleans seamlessly across uneven surfaces without missing rooms or getting stuck.
The all-new ZeroTangle 4.0, with lateral airflow channels, and a reinforced wide-span dual-bearing structure, captures dust and hair efficiently without tangling. This reduces maintenance and keeps suction strong and stable, giving users a smooth, quiet, and worry-free cleaning experience every day.
Elegant Design Meets Effortless Maintenance

Understanding consumers’ desire for both style and convenience, ECOVACS designed the DEEBOT T90 PRO OMNI with a refined, minimalist aesthetic inspired by Nordic design. Its monochromatic point-cloud texture and fabric-like finish offer a warm, premium appearance while ensuring durability and easy upkeep, effortlessly complementing any home interior.
To make cleaning truly hands-free, the OMNI Station features Fresh-flow Power Washing and Dirty Water Box Auto-Cleaning. Fresh-flow Power Washing uses a new high-pressure direct pump to deliver heated water (up to 75°C) through 16 nozzles, saturating and deep-cleaning the mop roller for maximum cleanness. The self-cleaning wastewater system — with a 5,000 RPM propeller, straight-down drainage, a dual-layer scraping mechanism, and an independent sediment trough — removes dirt quickly to eliminate odors and prevent contamination. Users can enjoy a consistently fresh cleaning experience without touching dirty components.

An AI-Powered Experience that Truly Understands You and Your Home

With AGENT YIKO, the DEEBOT T90 PRO OMNI becomes more than a cleaning device — it is an intelligent home companion. Using intelligent scene recognition, AGENT YIKO identifies room types, floor materials, and pet zones, then automatically generates adaptive cleaning plans based on your habits and living space. It adjusts suction, water flow, and route planning in real time to deliver optimal results with zero management.
For pet families, the T90 PRO OMNI offers a gentle yet smart cleaning experience. It can sense and avoid pets while they roam. Users can set customized pet activity zones, so the robot focuses where it’s needed most, keeping both floors and furry friends happy.

Whether you’re at home or away, you can count on a spotless space, a healthier environment, and a cleaning experience that fits naturally into your lifestyle.
