Squirrel Ai’s Dr. Liang Takes the Stage at Web Summit: Pioneering a New Human-AI Collaborative Paradigm for the Classroom of the Future

SHANGHAI, Dec. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — From November 10 to 13, 2025, Web Summit, one of the world’s premier technology events, was held at the MEO Arena in Lisbon, Portugal. This year’s summit brought together more than 70,000 technology professionals from 157 countries, along with leaders from over 2,700 startups. Dr. Joleen Liang, Co-founder of Squirrel Ai Learning, was invited to attend and took part in three major forums, appearing alongside Microsoft President Brad Smith, TIME CEO Jessica Sibley, tennis legend Maria Sharapova, and other distinguished guests to discuss emerging technology trends and the future of the industry.


At this globally influential, large-scale technology gathering, Dr. Liang participated in three core forums — “Human vs. Machine: Who Owns the Classroom of Tomorrow?”, “The Silicon Shift: China’s Quiet Influence on Global Innovation”, and “Beyond the Lab: Will AI Fix Our Systems?”. In these sessions, she joined technology leaders from around the world to explore the future of human-AI collaboration in education, providing global audiences with strategic insights and forward-looking perspectives drawn from China’s practical experience in AI-powered education. 

Squirrel Ai Highlights the Irreplaceable Human Value in Education

During the forum entitled “Human vs. Machine: Who Owns the Classroom of Tomorrow?”, Dr. Liang engaged in an in-depth conversation with JoĂŁo Rui Ferreira, Secretary of State for Economy of Portugal, and Marc Tawil, columnist at Exame, Brazil’s largest business publication. She noted: “Through Squirrel Ai’s years of practice, we have come to understand that the highest value of artificial intelligence in education is not to replace teachers, but to free them from repetitive tasks so they can focus on what machines cannot replicate — inspiration, empathy, and creativity.” Dr. Liang further explained that Squirrel Ai’s multimodal intelligent adaptive learning system is a vivid embodiment of this philosophy.

The system integrates multimodal cognitive diagnostics, a fine-grained knowledge graph, and error-cause analysis algorithms to deliver precise, real-time insights into each student’s learning state. It intelligently generates personalized learning paths, enabling teachers to devote more time to individualized guidance, the cultivation of higher-order thinking, and character education.

“Education is, at its core, a profound interaction between people. Technology’s highest purpose is to enhance — not diminish — that experience,” stated Dr. Liang. “Our goal is the effective collaboration between humans and machines, working together to create a learning environment that is both supportive and human-centered.” With this vision, she articulated a new paradigm for human-AI collaboration in education, offering meaningful insights into the deeper essence of teaching and learning.

Building a Boundaryless, Personalized, and Human-Centered Classroom of the Future

Against the backdrop of rapid growth in the global educational technology sector, Dr. Liang highlighted in her remarks that true innovation in educational technology does not lie in market expansion but in harnessing technology to drive a fundamental shift toward learner-centered education. She underscored that the essence of educational innovation is achieving personalized learning at scale and educational equity — goals that must be grounded in authentic, dynamic learning data.

“Building on Squirrel Ai’s multimodal intelligent adaptive learning model, developed through serving more than 43 million students and analyzing over 20 billion learning behaviors, we can perceive each student’s challenges and strengths in real time and dynamically adjust their learning path. This is not merely about enhancing the efficiency of knowledge delivery; it is about fundamentally understanding why a learner gets stuck at a specific point, how they can learn better, and providing the most appropriate support instantly.” Dr. Liang added that the classroom of the future is poised to transcend physical and temporal boundaries, evolving into a boundless, data-driven learning environment guided by human values.

Notably, Dr. Liang’s presence at Web Summit showcased Squirrel Ai’s maturity as a key builder and innovator in the educational technology sector, presenting an intelligent educational framework designed to understand student needs and support teacher decision-making. Its value lies not only in the technology itself, but also in the practical implementation model it offers to the education community. In the learning environment shaped by Squirrel Ai, teachers are no longer mere transmitters of knowledge. Instead, they become designers and facilitators of the learning process, while artificial intelligence provides personalized support and continuously refines instruction. In this way, true “teaching according to students’ aptitude” becomes an integral part of daily classroom routines.

As technology frameworks and educational philosophies continue to converge, Squirrel Ai’s proven approach has become an important benchmark for the entire industry. It demonstrates that when technology truly serves the essence of education, it can overcome resource and geographic constraints, allowing more students to access learning experiences tailored to their individual needs. This learner-centered, technology-enabled model is driving continuous advancement in global education and making a more personalized and equitable future not only possible, but increasingly within reach.


 


 

 

SEED Medical Launches “Christmas Gift of Health: Year-End Body Check Festival”


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 December 2025 – As the Christmas season and the New Year approach, citizens should not overlook their personal health amidst the festive celebrations. Located in Ocean Centre, Tsim Sha Tsui, SEED Medical—dedicated to providing comprehensive, high-quality medical services—has recently launched the “Christmas Gift of Health: Year-End Body Check Festival.” Effective immediately, a range of signature health check packages covering comprehensive physical examinations, women-specific screenings, and cancer risk assessments are available at approximately 40% off (60% of the original price). This initiative aims to encourage the public to conduct a thorough “Annual Health Summary” before the year ends, allowing for the early detection of potential risks and laying a robust foundation to meet the challenges of 2026.

Year-End Health Check: Rewarding Yourself with a “Health Checklist”

Over the past year, the fast-paced lifestyle and heavy work pressure in Hong Kong have often led people to overlook subtle health warning signs. Therefore, the end of the year is not only a time to summarize work achievements but also a golden window to examine one’s physical condition. SEED Medical advocates the philosophy that “prevention is better than cure.” Through this promotion, the center hopes to remind citizens to regard “health” as the best Christmas gift for themselves and their families. By utilizing comprehensive data analysis to adjust lifestyle habits, individuals can lower the risks of chronic and critical illnesses.

Three Festive Limited-Time Offers Covering Diverse Needs

In response to festive demand and addressing health concerns across different age groups and genders, SEED Medical has selected three popular packages for promotional offers, allowing citizens to enjoy professional-grade medical services at more accessible prices:

The Universal Upgrade Choice: Advanced 80-Item Health Check Package Targeting the basic health needs of the general public, this package covers 80 key indicators including blood lipids, blood glucose, and liver and kidney functions. As a premier choice ranging from entry-level to advanced screening, it effectively screens for common urban diseases.

Christmas Special: HK$1,800 (Original Price: HK$2,500)

Essential for Working Women: Comprehensive Well Woman Health Check Designed specifically for busy urban women, this check-up goes beyond general physical examinations to provide in-depth screening for common gynecological risks. It serves as a reminder for women to watch out for body warning signals while balancing family care and work.

Christmas Special: HK$2,500 (Original Price: HK$3,080)

Critical Protection: Male/Female Cancer Risk Screening With the trend of cancer affecting younger demographics garnering attention, this screening covers at least 8 cancer risk indicators, offering deeper peace of mind for those concerned about critical illness risks.

Christmas Special: HK$1,680 (Original Price: HK$2,980)

Additionally, with the purchase of any of the above health check plans, clients can add on the G-NiiB M3CRC Colorectal Cancer Risk Assessment for a half-price offer of HK$1,400 (Original Price: HK$2,800). This non-invasive test requires only a stool sample to detect bacterial genes, offering high sensitivity in assessing the risks of colorectal cancer, adenomas, and polyp recurrence.

Diversified Medical Services with a Premium Harbour View Experience

Beyond festive limited packages, SEED Medical provides specialist testing services with great depth and breadth to fully satisfy needs at different life stages. These include the “Smart” Elderly Health Check, Cardiac and Comprehensive Health Check, Comprehensive Liver Health Check, and Allergen Panel Tests for those with sensitive constitutions. In the fields of pre-pregnancy and prenatal care, the center offers high-specification services such as comprehensive Female Hormone Screening, T21 Prenatal Screening, NIFTY Non-invasive Fetal Chromosomal Testing, and FDA-approved Pre-implantation Genetic Testing.

SEED Medical Center is situated at Ocean Centre, Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, enjoying a prime location with convenient transport links.

DMX-200 ACTION3 PHASE 3 TRIAL COMPLETES RECRUITMENT

  • Recruitment successfully completed in Dimerix’ ACTION3 Phase 3 clinical trial[1], which has recruited and dosed its target 286th adult patient
  • The ACTION3 Phase 3 trial explores the efficacy and safety of DMX-200 in FSGS patients when dosed in combination with standard-of-care blood pressure medication over 2 years
  • Of the 286 adult patients dosed in the trial, 69 have already completed the full 2-year treatment period and of those, 65 entered voluntarily into the Open Label Extension (OLE) study, representing 94% OLE uptake
  • The study has now successfully passed seven scheduled Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) reviews with no changes to the protocol required or safety concerns identified[2]
  • Following the successful outcome of the PARASOL collaboration data analysis (PARASOL Findings), Dimerix and its U.S. partner, Amicus Therapeutics, intend to seek feedback from the FDA on the proposed clinical trial endpoints, prior to a blinded analysis of ACTION3 data[3]
  • Recruitment of pediatric patients remains ongoing as an independent cohort in the trial, and if successful, may allow Dimerix to expand its application for DMX-200 to adolescents in key territories
  • Dimerix continues to maintain a strong cash position to fund its operations, including the ongoing ACTION3 Phase 3 clinical trial as well as assess new R&D opportunities

MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Dimerix Limited (ASX: DXB), a biopharmaceutical company with a Phase 3 clinical asset in kidney disease, today announces that the ACTION3 Phase 3 trial of DMX-200 in patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) has now successfully completed the planned recruitment and dosing of the 286th adult patient[1].

The ACTION3 Phase 3 study is a pivotal Phase 3, multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of DMX-200 in patients with FSGS who are receiving a stable dose of a blood pressure medication known as an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Once the ARB dose is stable, patients are then randomised to receive either DMX-200 (120 mg capsule, twice daily) or placebo for a 2-year treatment period. The single Phase 3 trial in FSGS patients is designed to capture evidence of proteinuria reduction and kidney function (eGFR slope) during the trial, aimed at generating sufficient evidence to support marketing approval.

In accordance with the trial protocol, patients were first recruited and then stabilised on background medications before undergoing a second screening. Only those who successfully passed this re-screening were randomised to receive either the DMX-200 or placebo. As per standard practice, patients currently recruited and in the stabilisation phase will be allowed to continue in the study (if still eligible) and, once dosed, will confirm the anticipated last patient and last dose date.

Notably, in March 2024, Dimerix announced that the ACTION3 Phase 3 trial of DMX-200 in patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) was successful in the pre-specified interim analysis of the proteinuria (efficacy) endpoint from the trial’s first 72 randomised patients.[4] The analysis indicated that, using a statistical measure, DMX-200 was performing better than placebo in reducing proteinuria (a surrogate marker of kidney disease progression[5]) in patients with FSGS at that point in time.[6]

“We are pleased to announce that the recruitment, randomisation and dosing of the 286th patient in the ACTION3 Phase 3 trial has successfully completed, reflecting the commitment and operational excellence of the Dimerix team and our clinical partners. Achieving this milestone in a rare disease setting reflects our ability to execute efficiently in complex environments. With patient data now being collected across a 2-year treatment period, we are progressing towards a number of key value-inflection points. With the successful achievement of the study’s target recruitment, this positions Dimerix and our commercial partners to continue to advance toward regulatory submission and potential commercialisation. We are sincerely grateful to the patients and their families for their vital contribution to this important program.”

Dr Nina Webster, CEO & Managing Director, Dimerix

The ACTION3 trial opened 219 sites for recruitment across 21 countries and regions, including US, Europe, UK, Japan, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand.

Next Steps in the U.S.

Dimerix and its U.S. partner, Amicus Therapeutics, intend to seek feedback from the FDA on the 104-week endpoints and potential submission for accelerated approval.

About ACTION3 FSGS Phase 3 Study

The Phase 3 study, which is titled “Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor (AT1R) & Chemokine Receptor 2 (CCR2) Targets for Inflammatory Nephrosis”, or ACTION3 for short, is a pivotal (Phase 3), multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of DMX-200 in patients with FSGS who are receiving a stable dose of an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB).

The “Hong Kong vs. Japan Youth Men’s International Friendship Demonstration Match” following the opening ceremony became the climax of the event. Hong Kong’s youth athletes faced off against Japan’s youth national team, using the latest World Taekwondo electronic protective gear in intense bouts. The matches were thrilling, with athletes showcasing swift kicking techniques, precise defense, and unyielding fighting spirit, eliciting thunderous applause and an exhilarating atmosphere. This friendship match not only perfectly highlighted the elite prowess of the new generation of taekwondo athletes from both regions but also symbolized international friendship and cooperation.

Ms. Lee Pui Yin, Head of HK Pung Saeng Taekwondo, stated: “We are immensely grateful to all international guests for traveling from afar, as well as to the athletes, coaches, parents, sponsors, and volunteer teams from various regions for their strong support. This event is not just a competition and exchange platform but a valuable opportunity for young people to learn respect, perseverance, inclusivity, and team spirit. We witnessed participants gaining experience from exchanges and honing their willpower through competitions—this is the true essence of the taekwondo spirit. We look forward to an even grander TaekwonFest next year, gathering more international elites to jointly advance taekwondo development!”

The event concluded perfectly with a group photo of all participants shouting “Taekwondo!” in unison amid enthusiastic applause. HK Pung Saeng Taekwondo will continue to dedicate itself to promoting authentic Korean-style taekwondo spirit, cultivating a new generation that is courteous, ambitious, and responsible, contributing to the taekwondo communities in Hong Kong and internationally.
