STUART, Fla.Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Health In Tech (Nasdaq: HIT), an Insurtech platform company backed by third-party AI technology, will showcase its groundbreaking Enhanced Do It Yourself Benefit System (eDIYBS) at the upcoming SIIA National Conference, being held October 12–14, 2025 at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge in Phoenix, Arizona.

Recently upgraded in September 2025, the platform now supports mid- and large-sized employers (150+ employees), significantly expanding HIT’s addressable market. Health In Tech’s presence at SIIA represents a strategic opportunity to expand broker relationships and showcase the platform’s potential to accelerate national growth.

Recognized as one of the most influential events in the self-insurance industry, the SIIA National Conference is expected to draw thousands of thought leaders, innovators, and visionaries driving the future of healthcare funding. Health In Tech will be on-site at Booth #909, offering live demonstrations of how its next-generation eDIYBS platform empowers brokers and administrators to create fully bindable quotes for small employers in minutes — not weeks.

Improving Self-Funding Efficiency for All Employer Sizes

The eDIYBS platform gives users the freedom to define their own underwriting guidelines, network discounts, and plan designs—all in one place. In just minutes, brokers can generate firm proposals with up to 12 plans and four-tier rates for small to mid-sized employers, dramatically reducing quoting time from weeks to minutes.

For larger employer groups, eDIYBS streamlines data intake and underwriting workflows, allowing most quotes to be completed in approximately two weeks, compared to traditional timelines that often spanned several months.

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 October 2025 – Green GSM, the all-electric ride-hailing brand under the GSM ecosystem, has signed a memorandum of understanding with AMRC Renewable Corporation/Xentro Motors, a subsidiary of the Philippine-based Xentro Group of Companies, for the supply of 2,000 VinFast electric vehicles to support future operations under the Green GSM platform. The collaboration supports the Philippines’ transition to cleaner and more inclusive mobility, reflecting both companies’ shared commitment to sustainability and community impact.

Under the MOU, Green GSM will supply 2,000 VinFast Nerio Green electric vehicles to AMRC Renewable Corp/Xentro Motors. The first 1,000 units have already been secured, with the remaining to be delivered within two years. The fleet will operate under the co-branding “Green Xentro powered by Green GSM” across Metro Manila and key urban centers, following the completion of all necessary regulatory and accreditation processes.

The Green Xentro fleet will showcase Green GSM’s signature cyan color and follow eco-friendly standards, similar to those used in other markets. Known for their quiet operation, zero tailpipe emissions, and comfortable interiors, VinFast electric vehicles aim to offer passengers a cleaner and more enjoyable ride.

Green GSM, which began deploying its all-electric ride-hailing service in the Philippines earlier this year, is developing a partner-based operational approach to increase EV adoption while fully complying with local regulations. AMRC Renewable Corp/Xentro Motors viewed this collaboration as an opportunity to contribute to the country’s growing sustainable transportation movement. Once all approvals are secured, the fleet will begin operations under the Green GSM platform.

Through this partnership, Xentro Motors will also utilize its nationwide Xentro Malls network to offer accessible pick-up zones, EV charging stations, and parking areas, improving convenience for passengers and drivers. This initiative supports the group’s broader goal of incorporating sustainability into its retail and property ecosystem.

The partnership will also benefit from VinFast’s service ecosystem, which includes fleet maintenance, charging infrastructure, and driver support, strengthening Xentro’s collaboration with the Vietnamese automaker.

“We are honored to partner with Green GSM in bringing all-electric ride-hailing closer to Filipino communities,” said Mr. Noel M. Ignacio, CEO of Xentro Motors. “This collaboration reflects our belief that sustainability and progress can go hand in hand. By integrating electric mobility into our ecosystem, we aim to support the country’s long-term transport modernization goals and enhance daily commutes for users.”

“This partnership with Xentro Motors marks another important step in our regional journey,” said Mr. Dao Quy Phi, Managing Director of Green GSM Southest Asia. “Green GSM always welcomes and creates favorable conditions for local businesses to collaborate on the GSM platform. Across the countries where GSM operates, we have successfully partnered with and supported more than 100 enterprises in building sustainable business models within the electric mobility ecosystem. Xentro is the first of such valued partners in the Philippines, and we believe this cooperation will set a positive example for future collaborations. Our mission remains clear, to work alongside partners who share the same vision for cleaner, smarter, and more inclusive mobility, because when communities and businesses move together, everyone benefits”.

The collaboration represents a shared belief that meaningful change in mobility begins with collective effort. By combining Green GSM’s expertise in electric ride-hailing with Xentro Motors’ strong local network, the two companies aim to make sustainable transport accessible to more Filipinos and to inspire a growing movement toward cleaner, smarter everyday journeys.

DPC Dash — Domino’s Pizza China Builds Lasting Growth in the Third Quarter of 2025 With Excellence in Store Expansion, Innovation, and Digital Leadership

HONG KONG, Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DPC Dash — Domino’s Pizza China (“DPC Dash” or the “Company”) (1405.HK), Domino’s Pizza’s exclusive master franchisee in the Chinese Mainland, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China, and the Macau Special Administrative Region of China, continued to build a connected community and lasting growth in the third quarter of 2025 with excellence across store expansion, innovation, and digital leadership.

During the third quarter of 2025, DPC Dash continued its strategic expansion through the “go-deeper, go-broader” store network approach, opening 275 net new stores during the period. As reported in the Third Quarter 2025 Investor Fact Sheet (“Investor Fact Sheet”), DPC Dash operated 1,283 stores in 51 cities across the Chinese Mainland as of September 30, 2025. Approximately 100% of the Company’s 300-store opening target for 2025 was secured as of September 30, 2025, including stores that have been opened, stores under construction, and stores that have been signed.

Same-store sales growth was positive at both group level and Tier-1 cities during the third quarter of 2025, reflecting the Company’s resilience and brand strength in highly competitive markets.

The Company’s strategic expansion continues to yield strong results, as evidenced by the outstanding performance of its newly opened stores. The first store in Handan achieved over RMB6.8 million in sales in its first month as of August 31, 2025, ranking No. 5 globally in Domino’s 30-day sales performance. Meanwhile, the debut store in Xuzhou recorded over RMB680,000 on its opening day, setting a new global record. These remarkable outcomes reflect not only robust consumer demand but also the effectiveness of the Company’s market entry strategy in newly entered cities.

This operational excellence was further highlighted in the third quarter, during which the Company secured an unprecedented 49 of the top 50 positions for the first 30-day sales among Domino’s network of more than 21,500 stores globally. This remarkable achievement underscores the Company’s superior brand appeal and execution capabilities in the Chinese market.

DPC Dash’s outstanding performance in 2024 was recognized with two prestigious international awards by Domino’s Pizza. The company received the Gold Franny Award, marking seven consecutive years of recognition since the current management team formed. It was further honored with the International Cornerstone Award for the sixth consecutive year, which celebrated its exceptional store expansion and market development efforts. The Chinese Mainland market is ranked the 3rd largest international market within Domino’s Pizza’s global system in terms of store count as of June 30, 2025.

The Company’s strong position is reinforced by the continued expansion of China’s pizza market, where consumers are increasingly embracing localized Western-style fast food. According to Frost & Sullivan, Domino’s Pizza ranks No. 2 in the China pizza market in terms of 2024 pizza sales, confirming the Company’s strong competitive position in this rapidly growing industry.

DPC Dash’s digital leadership strategy yielded impressive results in building a connected community. The Company’s loyalty program reached 32.9 million members as of September 30, 2025, compared to 21.7 million as of September 30, 2024, representing substantial year-over-year growth. Over the past 12 months, 14.4 million customers placed their first orders, including orders from own channels and third-party channels, highlighting the Company’s effectiveness in attracting and converting new customers through comprehensive digital initiatives.

DPC Dash continued to delight customers through innovative product offerings and creative marketing collaborations during the third quarter. The Company introduced the new Cocoa Volcano Crust and the Tuscany-Inspired Cheese Salmon Pizza, showcasing its commitment to continuous culinary innovation. The popular Durian Pizza Series was expanded to feature 12 indulgent menu items, including the highly anticipated return of the Durian & Lychee pizzas.

The Company’s signature promotional campaigns continued to drive customer engagement, with the return of the classic “Mega Week” promotion providing exceptional value to consumers. Strategic brand partnerships included a summer collaboration with Snoopy featuring limited-edition keychain blind boxes, and a creative partnership with Dungeon & Fighter Mobile on the “Volcano Raid” meal set with exclusive items, demonstrating DPC Dash’s ability to connect with diverse customer segments.

The Company’s commitment to excellence across innovation and digital leadership earned widespread industry recognition during the third quarter. DPC Dash received the Outstanding Innovation Brand award at the 13th TopDigital Marketing Awards and was named a Top 10 High-Quality Consumer Brand by Southern Metropolis Daily. The Company also won the Best Digitalization Award in the Food and Dining Category at the 16th Tiger Roar Awards and was recognized as Western Fast Food of the Year in the Good Food Selection in China by Jiemian News.

These accolades reflect DPC Dash’s comprehensive approach to building lasting value through innovation and operational excellence while maintaining its position as a market leader in China’s dynamic food service industry.

As DPC Dash continues to execute its proven “4D” strategy of Development, Delicious Pizza at Value, Delivery, and Digital, the Company remains focused on expanding its connected community and creating sustainable long-term value for all stakeholders. The strong momentum demonstrated in the third quarter positions DPC Dash well for continued growth and market leadership in China’s expanding pizza market.

NUH Puts Patients’ Priorities First Through Appropriate Care

This pioneering initiative by the hospital can cut unnecessary interventions, optimise health outcomes and deliver sustainable care


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 October 2025 – Imagine your next specialist’s appointment at a hospital being a true partnership. Instead of being prescribed a care plan outright, your doctor seeks your feedback, discusses your progress and treatment goals, and co-designs a plan that fits your needs and preferences – which in some patients may mean reducing medication or cutting out unnecessary tests.

[From left] Adj A/Prof Adrian Kee, Adj A/Prof Samuel Ow, Adj A/Prof Amelia Santosa, Dr Ada Teo and Ms Lim Suan Tee are part of the team driving Appropriate Care efforts in delivering patient-centred care that maximises health outcomes and quality of life.

This is Appropriate Care (Apt Care) at the National University Hospital (NUH). It is about delivering evidence and value-based, patient-centred care that maximises health outcomes and quality of life, while eliminating inefficiencies and managing resources sustainably.

As part of National University Health System (NUHS)’s Apt Care programme, NUH launched its Apt Care campaign in March last year with a clear purpose: to reinforce a culture of prioritising patient outcomes and value.

Enhancing end-of-life cancer care

One of the key NUH Apt Care initiatives was a collaboration with the National University Cancer Institute, Singapore (NCIS), to introduce an appropriate care end-of-life pathway to cancer patients. Launched in October last year, the programme uses a multidisciplinary approach involving clinicians, nurses, and pharmacists to enhance end-of-life care. The goal is to help patients live as well as possible by reducing unnecessary medication and interventions, allowing them to focus on comfort and quality of life.

When a suitable patient is identified, their care team reviews the care plan to focus on the patient’s comfort and overall well-being. This tailored plan could involve reducing non-essential medications, re-evaluating the number of unnecessary outpatient appointments, and cutting down or discontinuing invasive procedures like blood glucose monitoring (BGM) pricks.

Between October 2024 and August 2025, 108 patients were enrolled in the programme which saw significant benefits:

  • Average of 11 fewer vital sign checks and four fewer BGM episodes per patient, with some saving up to 81 vital sign checks and 52 BGM episodes during their hospital stay, leading to less disruption to the patients’ rest.
  • Average savings of $60 per patient, with some saving up to $740, for the reduction in BGM tests.
  • Average of two fewer outpatient appointments and three reduced oral medications per patient, reducing treatment burden.

Adj A/Prof Samuel Ow, Senior Consultant, Department of Haematology-Oncology, NCIS, and the project lead of the end-of-life programme, noted that feedback has been positive. “Patients have reported less pain and discomfort as a result of cutting down on non-essential procedures. By limiting consultations to only key ones, patients gain more time to spend meaningfully with their loved ones.”

He added: “Our clinical staff have also benefited. The time freed up through streamlining tests and procedures allows them to devote more attention to their patients’ most critical needs. Our nurses have also reported greater job satisfaction from being empowered to customise care plans that truly prioritise the needs and well-being of our end-of-life patients.”

Smarter glucose testing for inpatients

Another initiative at NUH targets unnecessary point-of-care blood glucose monitoring (BGM) for inpatients. A similar initiative was first implemented at Ng Teng Fong General Hospital in 2018 and at Alexandra Hospital in 2023, with best practices being adapted to each hospital’s workflows.

Piloted in two wards in September 2024 and now expanded, a new standardised workflow with clear criteria was introduced to empower nurses to safely reduce the frequency of BGM finger pricks in clinically stable patients.

Over the past three months, 87 patients in the programme had their average daily BGM finger pricks halved from four to two, without any significant increase in rates of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.

According to the project lead, Dr Ada Teo, Associate Consultant, Division of Endocrinology, Department of Medicine, NUH: “This initiative is a true win-win. By focusing on the right frequency of glucose testing, we can still rely on meaningful data to make informed assessments for our patients’ care plans. Patients who participated reported an improved treatment experience, as it reduced discomfort, pain, and their out-of-pocket costs.”

She added: “Our nurses felt the impact too – a recent survey of 78 nurses found that around 85 per cent of them expressed confidence in following the new workflow. Encouragingly, around 87 per cent felt empowered to reduce unnecessary testing with this project in place. Introducing a clear, evidence-based workflow can help to minimise unnecessary monitoring, allowing for more appropriate distribution of resources to facilitate patient-centred care.”

Building a sustainable future in healthcare

Beyond these initiatives, NUH is working with its partners in NUHS to:

  • Reduce duplicative test such as glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), which may be duplicated by different care providers looking after the same patient;
  • Minimise inappropriate medication for patients; and
  • Consolidate appointments, which brings additional benefits of better care coordination

In summing up the Apt Care drive in NUH, Adj A/Prof Amelia Santosa, one of the co-leads of the Apt Care campaign at NUH and also Head and Senior Consultant, Division of Rheumatology and Allergy, Department of Medicine, NUH, said: “We are heartened to see the encouraging reception by both patients and healthcare colleagues from our early initiatives. With an ageing population and increasing number of patients with multiple medical conditions in Singapore, patients accumulate more appointments, medications and tests, which need to be purposefully consolidated. Hence, now more than ever, Apt Care is becoming a more critical concept for healthcare institutions to embrace and incorporate. Our ultimate objective is to continuously find ways to deliver care that is clinically effective and focused on patient-defined outcomes, while at the same time, promote greater healthcare value for everyone involved – from patients and their families to our healthcare staff and the hospital itself.”

NUH is the principal teaching hospital of the medical school.

Our unique identity as a university hospital is a key attraction for healthcare professionals who aspire to do more than practise tertiary medical care.
