EmbraceMini is an ultra-compact health monitoring device, focused on delivering exceptional wearability and high-quality data without compromising sponsor or participant needs. With its incredibly small footprint and refined looks, EmbraceMini offers effortless, seamless and non-invasive activity data collection while prioritizing the patient experience at all times. It wirelessly transmits sensor data to the FDA-cleared Empatica Health Monitoring Platform, enabling the continuous analysis and extraction of precise digital biomarkers from clinical trial participants while boosting compliance.
'We've created a wearable that combines the reliability of a medical device with the accessibility of a design accessory, something previously missing from the market,' said Empatica's CTO and Co-founder, Simone Tognetti. 'Most devices adopted in clinical trials today are too bulky, or just not fit for purpose. Wearability is crucial for the success of the study, so our goal with EmbraceMini was to make a compact, beautiful wearable that offers the same data quality and range as EmbracePlus, without 'competing' with people's favorite watches or accessories for room on their wrist.'
At just 12mm thick and 14mm wide, EmbraceMini is the smallest wristworn actigraphy device for clinical research in the world – the size of an AA battery. It is purpose-made for studies that track sleep and movement, with a long battery life that can achieve at least 7 days of continuous data collection.
EmbraceMini can passively monitor over 200 digital measures, including digital biomarkers across physical activity, sleep, gait, and light exposure. These can serve a key role as digital endpoints in trials on sleep disorders, movement disorders, obesity, depression, pain, and more. In addition, EmbraceMini can collect raw sensor data, providing more transparency and flexibility in how information can be processed.
Thanks to Empatica's modular approach, EmbraceMini can be worn on the wrist, leg, around the waist, or the ankle. Empatica allows simultaneous data collection using multiple devices, so researchers can combine data from Empatica's flagship wearable EmbracePlus (including cardiorespiratory measures) and EmbraceMini, or use two EmbraceMini units worn at different body locations for richer insights.
Besides working seamlessly with Empatica's software, EmbraceMini can also be integrated into existing Clinical Trial Management Systems using a Cloud API.
FDA clearance for EmbraceMini is expected in late 2025. If you are interested in learning more about the device and to request a demo, visit empatica.com/embracemini or write to Empatica at research@empatica.com.

Circus SE publishes 2024 Annual Report marking the completion of the R&D phase
MUNICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Circus SE (XETRA: CA1) today published its audited financial results for fiscal year 2024, reflecting a highly successful year in the industrialization of the CA-1 robot. The company expects a positive outlook as it transitions from research and development (R&D) to the launch of initial commercial deployments of its patented technology in the current fiscal year. The year 2024 marked the successful completion of the multi-year research and development phase. Key milestones included the industrialization of the AI-powered robotics system CA-1 and the initiation of a scalable serial production in collaboration with global manufacturing partner Celestica. The industrialization of the company's core commercial product, CA-1, has been successfully completed. Several units of the patented CA-1 are already in production, with deliveries scheduled to begin as planned in fall 2025. This makes Circus SE the first company worldwide capable of delivering AI-powered robotics for food production at an industrial scale globally. The transformation from manual manufacturing to industrial-scale serial production forms the foundation for Circus SE's future growth. With Celestica, the company has secured a global manufacturing partner operating over 40 sites in 16 countries. The initial production facility alone is capable of producing up to 6,000 CA-1 units annually. In addition to manufacturing, the partner also manages the global supply chain as well as the service and maintenance of the robotics systems. This industrial infrastructure enables Circus SE to meet the growth demands of its already secured enterprise clients – each with a projected need ranging from several hundred to thousands of units. In addition, a second product line was developed and successfully introduced during the 2024 R&D phase: the CA-M, the world's first autonomous, robot-assisted provisioning system for military and security-critical applications. Just weeks after its official launch, full accreditation as a supplier for U.S. government agencies and the Department of Defense was obtained in June 2025. As forecasted, no revenue was generated from the novel technology during the 2024 fiscal year, which was still part of the R&D phase. The EBITDA stands at EUR -11,915 thousand, in line with the previous year's guidance. The majority of funds were allocated to technology development for the CA-1 and the new CA-M for the defense sector, as well as to building out manufacturing capabilities and preparing for production—laying essential foundations for the upcoming commercialization phase. For the 2025 fiscal year, Circus SE expects initial revenues in at least the single-digit million euro range from renowned clients, including those in the prioritized go-to-market segments of mobility and retail—among them REWE, Tamoil (HEM), and the Mangal Group. Deliveries of the CA-1 are scheduled to begin in autumn 2025, with recurring software revenues expected from the fourth quarter 2025 onwards. Revenues from the newly established defense division are anticipated earlier than originally planned, already within the current financial year. The company expects to provide a forecast in conjunction with the delivery of the world's first CA-1 AI robotics units from serial production. About Circus SE Circus SE (XETRA: CA1) is a global AI and robotics company developing autonomous systems for food supply in both civilian and defense sectors. Its flagship robot, the patented CA-1, is the world's first fully autonomous food production robot, now in serial production. Powered by proprietary embodied AI, Circus delivers industrial-scale, high-reliability meal output with minimal human input. Headquartered in Munich, the company is building the global infrastructure for autonomous food supply — on a mission to fuel humanity.

SailPoint's Fast-Growing Machine Identity Security Is Changing How Businesses Manage and Secure Machine Identities
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 30, 2025-- SailPoint, Inc., (Nasdaq: SAIL), a leader in unified identity security for enterprises, today highlighted the exceptional growth of its Machine Identity Security solution. Since its launch last fall, SailPoint Machine Identity Security has been the company's fastest-growing product, reflecting urgent market demand for comprehensive machine identity lifecycle management. SailPoint's unified platform enables customers to manage both human and machine identities in one system, improving visibility and closing critical security gaps. Machine identities have surged in volume across modern enterprises, often outpacing human identities by a significant margin. According to the SailPoint-commissioned ' Machine Identity Crisis: the challenges of manual processes and hidden risks ' report, nearly 70% of today's companies surveyed said they now manage more machine identities than human ones. Additionally, according to this research, machine identity volume is projected to grow by roughly 30% over the next 3-5 years. Yet many organizations struggle to identify and govern these identities effectively, as they often remain hidden deep within directories like Active Directory (AD) or Entra and are frequently overlooked in security strategies. SailPoint Machine Identity Security addresses these challenges head-on. Unlike traditional tools that focus narrowly on certificates and secrets, SailPoint's unique approach centers on discovering and governing the identities behind those credentials—including bots, service accounts, RPAs, and APIs—bringing visibility and control where it's needed most. This grants businesses the oversight and accountability they need to eliminate machine identities that lack visibility, ownership, or governance. SailPoint customers comment on the importance of Machine Identity Security: 'Managing machine identities used to be a fragmented, resource-intensive process. With SailPoint's Machine Identity Security, we've consolidated oversight into one unified platform, giving us real-time visibility and governance over thousands of service accounts, bots, and automation tools,' said Shawn Marks, VP, Information Security. 'What used to be hidden is now visible, accountable, and compliant—without slowing down innovation or operations.' 'As our organization continues to scale, the number of machine identities—like service accounts, bots, and APIs—has grown rapidly,' said Michele Anne Schroeder, IAM Manager, PACCAR. 'Without proper oversight, they can become blind spots, potentially disrupting critical processes. To support our digital initiatives and ensure operational continuity, securing and managing machine identities has become a top priority.' 'Utilizing SailPoint MIS enables our organization to achieve machine identity visibility, control, and compliance with the same rigor as our human identities undergo. This will significantly reduce potential attack vectors while strengthening our security posture,' said Thomas Zuliani, Global CISO, Arla Foods and Hardeep Singh Sidhu, Senior Architect IAM, Arla Foods. Despite the rapid growth in machine identities, SailPoint believes most organizations remain unprepared to manage the associated risks. According to a recent SailPoint-conducted survey of IT and security professionals, 60% of organizations surveyed say machine identities pose a greater security risk than human identities. In fact, 57% of organizations surveyed have already experienced inappropriate access granted to a machine identity – highlighting that the risk is no longer theoretical, but a current and pressing challenge. Yet, many companies continue to retain unnecessary and potentially dangerous accounts: 72% of those surveyed intentionally keep dormant machine identities, and 88% admit they are afraid to delete them for fear of breaking something. Nearly 66% of companies surveyed still rely on cumbersome manual processes, while only 38% say they have real-time visibility into active machine identities. Additionally, 72% acknowledge that they find machine identities more difficult to manage than human identities. This underscores the growing need for a more streamlined, automated approach to identity security. SailPoint Machine Identity Security allows enterprises to apply the same degree of visibility, governance and control over their machine identities as they would their human identities. It features a powerful discovery engine designed to surface machine accounts hidden across the enterprise. By connecting enterprise systems like Active Directory and Entra, the solution can scan for accounts that are often overlooked—such as those tied to automated services and applications—bringing them into view. Once discovered, these accounts can be classified by type, assigned to appropriate owners, and brought under governance. AI agents—identities capable of initiating actions or decisions independently—are governed separately under SailPoint's Agent Identity Security solution, launching at Navigate 2025. With SailPoint, organizations can manage all identities—human and machine—in a unified platform. This includes applying access policies, enforcing least privilege, and regularly certifying accounts to ensure they remain compliant and secure. The result is a comprehensive and scalable approach to identity security that reduces blind spots without adding complexity. 'The rapid growth of SailPoint Machine Identity Security shows that businesses are moving away from fragmented, siloed identity offerings,' said Chandra Gnanasambandam, EVP of Product and CTO at SailPoint. 'Customers want simplicity, security, and a unified way to govern all identities—whether they are human, machine, third-party or AI agents. That's exactly what SailPoint delivers. We've spent years building a platform that brings all identities under a single control plane. With SailPoint Machine Identity Security, organizations can now discover, secure, and certify every machine identity just as seamlessly as they do with human identities.' SailPoint Machine Identity Security also helps address some of the compliance demands of today's enterprises, with both FedRAMP and GovRAMP certifications. This helps users remain aligned with certain security and privacy frameworks mandated by federal, state, and local governments. With this proactive approach to compliance paired with comprehensive coverage of both human and machine identities, it comes as little surprise that SailPoint Machine Identity continues to be the company's fastest-growing product. To see how SailPoint can help you govern machine identities at scale, visit: About SailPoint At SailPoint (Nasdaq: SAIL), we believe enterprise security must start with identity at the foundation. Today's enterprise runs on a diverse workforce of not just human but also digital identities—and securing them all is critical. Through the lens of identity, SailPoint empowers organizations to seamlessly manage and secure access to applications and data at speed and scale. Our unified, intelligent, and extensible platform delivers identity-first security, helping enterprises defend against dynamic threats while driving productivity and transformation. Trusted by many of the world's most complex organizations, SailPoint secures the modern enterprise.
