Executive Interview

Americas – October 21, 2026 -- Air cargo's next digitization phase centers on procurement intelligence, according to Freightos executive Sebastien Podgorski, after a decade focused on digitizing search, dynamic rates and e-bookings.

Podgorski leads commercial operations across the Americas and oversees Freightos' global airline portfolio. He has more than a decade of aviation and air cargo experience, including roles at Air Canada Cargo in revenue management, strategic alliances and digital transformation. He discussed the shift with Judah Levine in a three-part video series in the Freight Thoughts program.

Peak season exposes existing procurement friction, Podgorski says

Peak demand does not create procurement problems, Podgorski says. It exposes operational friction that teams ignore during stable periods.

United States – October 17, 2026 -- Nearly half of all heart attacks occur in patients classified as low risk under traditional factors such as age, cholesterol and family history, Elucid CEO Kelly Huang said in AdvaMed's "Insight Series: AI & Digital Health," arguing that AI must change clinical decisions rather than accelerate existing ones.

Elucid extracts plaque biology and blood-flow data from a single CT scan

Elucid's Plaque-IQ software analyzes an existing coronary CT angiogram to quantify plaque type and amount in coronary and carotid vessels. Its BioIntegrated FFR-CT predicts fractional flow reserve values along each vessel, using invasive FFR as ground truth. Plaque algorithms are validated against histology.

Huang said two patients can show identical plaque volume and similar stenosis yet carry different risk: one has lipid-rich, unstable plaque, the other calcified, stable plaque.
