New York – October 13, 2026 -- U.S. specialty practices in six fields have an estimated $108 billion in annual recoverable revenue, equal to about $125,000 per physician or 11% of annual revenue, according to new research from voice AI vendor Prosper AI. The analysis covers dermatology, ophthalmology, gastroenterology, OB-GYN, primary care and orthopedics.

Four revenue levers add up to $125,000 per physician

Prosper AI splits the gap into four sources:

• $44,800 from answering calls and filling schedules
• $37,400 from bringing patients back for follow-up care
• $28,500 from preventing avoidable denials
• $14,100 from recovering patient balances

One in six calls to specialty practices goes unanswered during office hours, and the share climbs to 81% after hours. Only 54% of patients due for a follow-up visit return on schedule. Another 40% come back late and 6% never return.

Los Angeles – October 13, 2026 -- CUJO AI has identified more than four billion devices across its global deployments, adding its latest billion in just two years, the network intelligence and cybersecurity vendor announced.

Device diversity forces operators beyond network-level monitoring

Broadband operators face a growing visibility gap as connected devices multiply and diversify. Gaming consoles, security cameras, work laptops, smart televisions and connected appliances each place different demands on the home network. Without device-level context, operators have limited insight into the causes of performance problems, security risks in the home and the experience individual customers receive.

St. Louis – October 13, 2026 -- Omnigo Software has launched Omnigo Asset Forfeiture Management, a web-based application that tracks civil asset forfeiture from initial seizure through final disposition, as law enforcement agencies face heightened legislative, judicial and public scrutiny.

Omnigo builds a single end-to-end record for each seized asset

The workflow starts at the point of seizure. Staff can maintain asset, evidence and case information, monitor deadlines and required actions, create standardized legal documents, record financial activity and document final disposition in one complete record.

Scrutiny pushes agencies to run forfeiture as an agency-wide process

Agencies face a higher burden to show that every seized asset was handled properly. Omnigo says this is leading them to treat forfeiture as a coordinated, agency-wide process rather than a series of separate property, legal and financial tasks.
