Oura filed to go public on September 4, 2026, targeting a valuation above $16 billion and citing nearly 42 billion hours of physiological data behind its AI health models, even as a class-action lawsuit challenges the accuracy of its sleep-stage tracking.
Whoop is adding on-demand video consultations with licensed clinicians and a suite of generative-AI features, including a personal-context hub called My Memory and proactive coaching check-ins, to its fitness membership platform starting this summer.
DeepHealth has won FDA clearance for two new Breast Suite features: an AI tool that flags cardiovascular risk from routine screening mammograms with over 90% sensitivity, and an upgraded Mammo Dx that compares current and prior exams to cut unnecessary recalls.
A Mass General Brigham study of 21 AI models found they fail to produce an appropriate differential diagnosis more than 80% of the time, even though the same models reach the correct final diagnosis over 90% of the time once all clinical facts are already provided.
Medtronic has won FDA clearance for Stealth AXiS, a platform that combines AI-based surgical planning, real-time navigation and robotics for spine surgery, with a follow-on clearance expanding it into cranial and ENT procedures.
Revolve Surgical has won FDA 510(k) clearance for a zero-footprint surgical robot that mounts directly to the operating table instead of the floor, a design the Y Combinator-backed startup says is a first step toward "physical AI" in the operating room.
Artera has won FDA clearance for ArteraAI Breast, a same-day digital pathology AI tool that stratifies chemotherapy risk for HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer patients using their own resection tissue rather than a separate genomic assay.
Meta has begun production of its custom Iris AI chip, built with Broadcom on TSMC's 3-nanometer process, as part of a plan to double its AI computing capacity to 14 gigawatts by 2027 and reduce its reliance on Nvidia GPUs for internal workloads.
Cerebras Systems and Compute Nordic Finland announced a phased 165-megawatt AI data center in Mikkeli, Finland, backed by seven-year service contracts and an estimated €1.0-1.7 billion regional investment, as AI infrastructure spending increasingly targets Nordic markets with cheap, renewable power.
OpenAI said it will let independent groups such as METR and Redwood Research assess the safety of its models during training and evaluation, not just after release, part of a broader industry push toward earlier and more independent scrutiny of frontier AI systems.
