Philips Expands Collaboration with Amazon to Enhance HealthSuite Cloud Services
The alliance seeks to move Philips' integrated diagnostics portfoliowhich include cardiology, digital pathology, and radiologyinto the cloud. According to Philips, further cooperation with AWS will enable healthcare results to be improved, access to insights to be strengthened, and diagnosis processes to be unified. The firms want to expand these offerings from North and Latin America into Europe.
By means of a single, cloud-based platform, Philips and AWS want to simplify diagnosis procedures and let healthcare practitioners access imaging, pathology, and clinical data. Operating on AWS infrastructure, Philips' HealthSuite imaging is meant to offer remote diagnosis tools, care team communication, and simplified reporting. The system is already being used more than 150 hospital institutions across North and Latin America.
"The collaboration between Philips and AWS gives healthcare providers scalable, secure-by-design cloud-enabled solutions to accelerate healthcare innovation," AWS CEO Matt Garman said. "Combining Philips healthcare informatics portfolio with AWS generative AI capabilities gives clinicians access to imaging insights so they can deliver more effective and efficient care."
Using Amazon's Bedrock technology, Philips is attempting to include generative artificial intelligence into healthcare processes. Reducing administrative chores, automating repetitive operations, and freeing physician time for important decisions is the aim. Philips is also looking at conversational artificial intelligence technologies to simplify clinical reporting so radiologists may provide ordered diagnostic reports using natural language.
Commenting on Philips' idea of ambient reporting utilizing generative artificial intelligence, Edward Steiner, Chief and Medical Director of The York/WellSpan Advanced Prostate Care Center in the United States, estimated a 15-20% efficiency increase. "You simply could speak in a conversational tone and a structured report is generated within seconds," Steiner added.
At the Radiological Society of North America Annual Meeting, scheduled for Dec. 14 in Chicago, Philips will present its most recent informatics products.

Jeff Bezos Sells $737 Million Worth Of Amazon Stock Just Days After Lavish Venetian Wedding
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) founder and executive chairman, Jeff Bezos, has offloaded another significant chunk of the company's shares, worth $737 million, over three transactions, late last week and early this week. Check out the current price of AMZN stock here. What Happened: According to an SEC Form-4 filing dated July 1, Bezos offloaded a total of 3,324,926 Amazon shares from June 27 to June 30. This was done as part of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on March 4, 2025, which essentially allows corporate insiders to sell shares at predetermined times and volumes, helping them avoid accusations of insider trading. Trending: GoSun's Breakthrough Rooftop EV Charger Already Has 2,000+ Units Reserved — According to the filing, the largest block of over 3 million shares was sold at a weighted average price of $221.41 on June 27. An additional 16,860 shares were sold the same day at an average price of $222.39. On June 30, Bezos sold another 224,926 shares at an average price of $223.56, bringing the total proceeds from the sales to $737 million. Despite the sizable liquidation, Bezos remains Amazon's largest individual shareholder by far. Following the recent transactions, he still holds 905 million shares of Amazon stock, which at Tuesday's closing price of $220.46, is valued at just under $200 It Matters: This comes just days after Bezos tied the knot with long-time partner Lauren Sanchez, in a star-studded $50 million wedding in Venice last week, which is now being dubbed the 'Wedding of the Century.' According to a 10-Q filing made two months ago, the Amazon founder plans to sell a stake worth nearly $5 billion in the e-commerce giant through May of 2026, with the proceeds being earmarked for his space exploration company, Blue Origin, alongside other ventures. Bezos has a net worth of $240 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, with his stake in Amazon making up a substantial portion of this figure, and the rest from Blue Origin, which is calculated based on the cost of investment.

Deal: Narwal Fro Pro robot cleaner plummets to $400, a new record-low price
Jonathan Feist / Android Authority Here at Android Authority, we are big fans of Narwal cleaning robots. In fact, our top pick in our list of the best robot vacuums is a Narwal high-end model. Not everyone wants to spend well over a grand on a cleaning robot, though. The Narwal Freo Pro is a fantastic option if you want something more affordable. It competes against much more expensive alternatives, and is currently at a record-low price of just $399.99. Buy the Narwal Freo Pro for just $399.99 ($300 off) This offer is available from Amazon. Just keep in mind the discount isn't applied automatically. You must manually apply an on-page coupon to get the lower price. Narwal Freo Pro Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo Narwal Freo Pro Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo LiDAR and more in a mid-range bot There are not many compromises in the Narwal Freo Pro to help bring the price down. Only a few controls in the base station, manual detergent addition, but still some of the best floor cleaning capabilities we've seen from a robot vacuum. See price at Amazon Save $300.00 With Coupon! I already own the Narwal Freo X Ultra, but if I were to buy a new robot vacuum and mop using my hard-earned money, the Narwal Freo Pro is the one I would get. I mean, it's a great robot even at its full $699.99, as it competes with much more expensive models. Paying just $399.99 for such a capable robot is an amazing deal, and it happens to be a new record-low price for this unit. The Narwal Freo Pro is no lackluster. As mentioned above, it competes with much more expensive robots. In fact, it is very similar to the Narwal Freo X Ultra, which is a previous-generation flagship model. This means it's a very capable robot cleaner. The vacuum has a suction power of 8,500Pa, which is actually a bit stronger than the Freo X Ultra's 8,200Pa. The latter can pick up metal marbles, so regular dust and debris will have nothing on either of them. The actual difference between the two isn't actually noticeable, though. Jonathan Feist / Android Authority Narwal's mopping function is also among the best in the industry. These dual pads essentially scrub the floor using a rotating motion. The system can also recognize how dirty the mopping pads are when they return to the dock, and it will continue sending the robot to clean until they are squeaky clean. The lidar system works great, and it had no issues navigating through a house or avoiding objects during our tests. I happen to love the zero-tangle brush on the Narwal Freo X Ultra. It's a dream for anyone with long hair or people with pets. The Narwal Freo Pro has it, too, but it does a little better with hair thanks to the anti-tangling front brushes. How can Narwal make such a good robot and offer it at a lower price? Well, there are some small sacrifices. The Narwal Freo Pro base has no physical buttons, so you'll need to control it through the app, exclusively. That said, I rarely ever touch those buttons! I wouldn't see this as a problem. Jonathan Feist / Android Authority Additionally, it does not automatically dispense detergent. Instead, you'll need to drop a dissolving tablet into the freshwater tank every time you refill it. I refill mine about once a week, and while it may be a minor annoyance to remember dropping the tablet in there, I wouldn't exactly call it a deal-breaker. As you can see, the downsides are not a big deal, and it even has some improvements. The robot's dust bag can still hold about seven weeks of debris, which we thought it was a conservative estimation. We've been able to make it last more than double. This is one heck of a deal, so make sure to sign up for yours while you can. Record-low prices don't tend to last long. Extra deal: The Narwal Freo X Ultra is $429.99! Narwal Freo X Ultra Narwal Freo X Ultra Our floors have never looked cleaner Powerful suction, anti-clog dirt channels and brushes, LiDAR and laser sensors, and a convenient self-cleaning base station make the Narwal Freo X Ultra one of the best robot vacuums we've seen for home users. Safe and efficient operation for wood, tile, carpet, and nearly every floor surface in between. See price at Narwal Save $470.00 Now, if you prefer automatic detergent dispensing and would like to have base physical buttons, the Narwal Freo X Ultra is still available, and it is currently discounted to $429.99. While older, it is still an amazing robot.

Year-old European startup Maisa named alongside Google and Amazon in elite list of leading AI agent vendors in top global US research reports by Gartner
- First time a Spanish startup has made the list, thanks to its industry-first hallucination resistant 'digital workers' - AI startup is one of two European AI agent vendors in Gartner's Hype Cycle report for Artificial Intelligence and Hype Cycle for the Future of Work lists SAN FRANCISCO & VALENCIA, Spain, July 02, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Maisa, a rising star of enterprise AI, has been named by leading global research and advisory firm Gartner in its list of leading vendors for developing reliable AI agents. Inclusion in Gartner's 2025 Hype Cycle for AI and Hype Cycle for the Future of Work marks the first time a Spanish startup has been mentioned in these influential reports. The company, which is barely a year old and made its first raise of $5m+ from leading US investors last year, now finds itself named alongside global giants Amazon Web Services, Google, Salesforce and LangChain. The Gartner Hype Cycle for AI Agents provides an overview of emerging technologies in AI, helping organizations navigate the evolving landscape of autonomous software agents. The Hype Cycle for the Future of Work provides CIOs with a crucial human-first lens on the transformative AI advancements and disciplines required to ensure success at scale. Maisa is one of two European businesses included in its field in the prestigious report. Its technology allows businesses to use agentic AI to create 'digital workers' who can undertake complex process automation tasks such as regulatory compliance, supply chain control and financial management. It has global clients in banking, automotive and energy. Maisa is unique in the field because its technology is hallucination-resistant. Its workings are traceable and there is a fully auditable trail - what Maisa calls its 'Chain of Work' - meaning businesses can confidently deploy it in critical functions, knowing they can pinpoint exactly how the AI is functioning. Maisa's CEO and cofounder David Villalón: "We are delighted to be the first Spanish company included by Gartner in its reports and one of only two European companies in the category of AI agents. "We are especially pleased to be listed alongside global tech titans such as Google and Amazon. "Our vision and achievements in empowering companies with autonomous, trustworthy AI agents drive real business value and set new standards for intelligent automation." The Gartner analysis highlights AI agents as rapidly maturing technology with a rare "high benefit" rating, but points out that there is only a 5% - 20% market penetration to date, implying huge market growth potential. AI agents - defined as autonomous or semi-autonomous software entities capable of perceiving, deciding and acting to achieve goals - are set to revolutionise industries by automating complex tasks, enhancing decision-making and enabling new levels of workflow integration. About Maisa: A Rising Star in Agentic AI Its platform allows enterprises to create and manage AI-powered digital workers capable of automating complex, knowledge-intensive business processes with full transparency, traceability and reliability. It is simple to operate, fast to work and trustworthy. Maisa is enabled by a method the company calls 'HALP' (human-augmented LLM processing), which is a fast, no code and enterprise ready way to train digital workers. Instead of relying on massive datasets or manual programming, HALP enables digital workers to learn directly from real work inside organisations.
