MELBOURNE, Australia, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SIBIONICS showcased its sensor innovation and AI-powered glucose monitoring at the joint IDF-WPR, ADC and Metabolic Diseases 2026 congress, held in Melbourne from 18–21 August. Through Booth #1, a scientific symposium and on-site interviews with Credentialled Diabetes Educators (CDEs), the company brought together advanced technology, clinical evidence and real-world perspectives. 

The technology story behind GS3 begins far beyond glucose monitoring. SIBIONICS’ work in brain–computer interfaces includes a retinal prosthesis designed to provide limited visual perception for people with profound vision loss caused by outer retinal degenerative diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa. These high-complexity systems require precise, stable biosensing and robust signal processing. SIBIONICS has translated this high-threshold engineering into a more widely accessible medical technology: continuous glucose monitoring. The same platform capability now supports GS3, a factory-calibrated, 14-day CGM sensor with a 2.9 mm profile, designed to provide reliable monitoring with a low on-body burden. 

At the symposium “Beyond Glucose: The Integrated Future of CGM, CKM, and AI in Diabetes,” jointly hosted by SIBIONICS and Air Liquide Healthcare, session chair Professor Sofianos Andrikopoulos, Group CEO of the Australian Diabetes Society, brought together three perspectives. Professor David O’Neal, University of Melbourne and Deputy Director of the Australian Centre for Accelerating Diabetes Innovations, reviewed emerging clinical evidence for continuous glucose and ketone monitoring. Associate Professor Shannon Lin, a diabetes and nutrition specialist at the University of Technology Sydney, examined how CGM can move beyond data visibility toward personalised, predictive and actionable support. Professor Wei Qiang, Associate Chief Physician and Deputy Director of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University, outlined an integrated, AI-driven ecosystem connecting trusted sensing, context and learning. 

Throughout the congress, physicians and diabetes educators visited the SIBIONICS booth to experience GS3 and discuss its glucose-management capabilities. In anonymised interviews, CDEs described the sensor as small, light, comfortable and easy to set up. They saw particular potential in AI-supported spike detection, easier meal logging and food analysis that connects glucose trends with meal context. Their feedback also highlighted the importance of personalisation, clear carbohydrate estimates and clinically useful event timelines—reinforcing that AI should extend education and decision support, not replace professional care. 

Looking ahead, SIBIONICS plans to integrate its sensing platform with continuous ketone monitoring, insulin delivery, AI and other diabetes technologies. The goal is a richer, reliable and efficient ecosystem that shortens the path from data to understanding—and from understanding to action.

FIRENZE – La battaglia per il libero accesso al mare supera i confini di Livorno e si estende all’intera costa toscana. Dopo i blitz negli stabilimenti balneari, la raccolta di migliaia di firme e la richiesta di rimuovere i tornelli, Matteo Hallissey porta adesso al centro del confronto le future gare per l’assegnazione delle concessioni demaniali.

Il presidente di +Europa e Radicali Italiani indica una linea precisa: gare realmente aperte, concorrenza effettiva, canoni proporzionati al valore economico delle concessioni, più spiagge libere e una selezione che premi la qualità dei progetti.

Una partita che riguarda tutto il litorale regionale, dalla Versilia alla costa pisana, da Livorno e dalla Costa degli Etruschi fino alla Maremma e alle isole dell’Arcipelago toscano. Territori profondamente differenti, ma accomunati dalla necessità di trovare un nuovo equilibrio tra attività economiche, tutela del paesaggio e libera fruizione del mare.

Le concessioni attualmente in vigore sono destinate a scadere il 30 settembre 2027. Soltanto in presenza di particolari ragioni oggettive potrebbe essere previsto un differimento fino al 31 marzo 2028. I Comuni costieri dovranno quindi predisporre per tempo le procedure necessarie a riassegnare gli spazi demaniali, assicurando imparzialità, pubblicità e trasparenza.

Per Hallissey non sarà sufficiente pubblicare formalmente i bandi. Sarà necessario verificare i requisiti richiesti, il peso attribuito ai diversi criteri, la composizione delle procedure di valutazione e le garanzie previste per tutelare l’interesse pubblico.

La posizione sostenuta dal presidente di +Europa e Radicali Italiani non punta a escludere automaticamente gli attuali concessionari. Anche i gestori uscenti potranno partecipare e ottenere nuovamente l’affidamento, ma dovranno confrontarsi con altri operatori e presentare progetti competitivi, capaci di offrire benefici concreti ai cittadini e ai territori.
Il modello richiamato è quello di Ostia, dove le gare hanno permesso l’ingresso di nuovi imprenditori e cooperative locali, mentre una parte consistente dei precedenti concessionari è riuscita a mantenere la gestione presentando nuovi programmi.

L’obiettivo non sarebbe quindi cancellare le imprese esistenti, molte delle quali rappresentano una parte importante dell’economia e della storia turistica toscana, ma superare l’idea che una concessione pubblica possa trasformarsi in un diritto permanente o ereditario. Chi ha amministrato uno stabilimento potrà ricandidarsi, valorizzando l’esperienza maturata, gli investimenti effettuati e il rapporto costruito con il territorio. Dovrà però dimostrare, attraverso una procedura aperta, di possedere il progetto migliore.

La qualità dell’offerta non dovrebbe essere misurata soltanto sul piano economico. Accessibilità, sostenibilità, sicurezza, tutela ambientale, qualità dei servizi, protezione del paesaggio e capacità di valorizzare il territorio dovranno diventare elementi centrali nella valutazione.

Un altro punto riguarda i canoni, che secondo Hallissey devono essere adeguati al valore effettivo delle concessioni e all’attività economica sviluppata sul demanio pubblico. Le future procedure dovranno garantire entrate congrue alle amministrazioni, evitando contemporaneamente di favorire soltanto i grandi gruppi a discapito delle imprese locali.

Le gare dovranno inoltre inserirsi all’interno di una pianificazione complessiva della costa. Per Hallissey non basta sostituire o confermare i gestori: occorre aumentare il numero delle spiagge libere e libere attrezzate, rendere chiaramente riconoscibili i varchi pubblici e assicurare un accesso gratuito, dignitoso e ben segnalato al mare.

In questo percorso sarà centrale anche il ruolo della Regione Toscana, chiamata a garantire un indirizzo omogeneo e a evitare che lungo la stessa costa vengano adottati criteri profondamente differenti da un Comune all’altro.

È su questi aspetti che si concentrerà la vigilanza annunciata in vista delle scadenze del 2027. L’attenzione riguarderà la pubblicazione dei bandi, i requisiti di partecipazione, l’attribuzione dei punteggi e la reale apertura delle procedure a una pluralità di concorrenti.
Il rischio da evitare è che le gare si trasformino in un semplice adempimento formale costruito per conservare sostanzialmente l’assetto attuale. Trasparenza significa rendere conoscibili in anticipo le regole, motivare le valutazioni e consentire ai cittadini di comprendere perché una concessione venga affidata a un determinato soggetto.

Il caso dei tornelli di Livorno ha acceso il dibattito, ma il passaggio decisivo riguarderà l’intera Toscana. Settembre 2027 appare ancora lontano, tuttavia la complessità delle procedure impone a Regione e Comuni di iniziare a lavorare sui bandi con largo anticipo.

Hallissey e i Radicali annunciano che seguiranno ogni passaggio. La partita non riguarderà soltanto chi gestirà gli stabilimenti, ma il modello di costa che la Toscana intende costruire per i prossimi anni: più aperto, accessibile, competitivo e rispettoso del carattere pubblico del mare.

Tanta gente per Pier Luigi Bersani a Grosseto per l’apertura della festa regionale de l’Unità targata Pd Toscana. 

Festa regionale de l’Unità di scena sulle Mura Medicee fino al 6 settembre. Qui il programma. 

Ad accogliere Bersani, ex segretario Pd, già ministro nei governi Prodi, D’Alema, Amato, il deputato Marco Simiani, segretario unione comunale Pd Grosseto, con Giacomo Termine, segretario provinciale Pd Grosseto.

Bersani: “Il campo largo è la strada, la stiamo percorrendo già in mezza Italia. Dobbiamo allargarlo anche di più. Bisogna partire non dai nomi e dalle formule, ma dicendo chiaro quello che vogliamo fare: no alla guerra, no al riarmo, sul lavoro si cambia. Poi le forze ci sono per un’alternativa a questa destra che in quattro anni ci ha fatto fare solo passi indietro. Quattro anni sono abbastanza per non poter più dare la colpa agli altri: allora perché siamo indietro in tutte le classifiche? C’è qualcuno che si ricordi qualche riforma che ha migliorato la vita dei cittadini?

Poi Bersani, intervistato da Chiara Geloni: “Vogliono far passare l’idea che loro stanno col popolo. La destra ha sempre fatto così. Meloni, in questi quattro anni dove sono andati i soSono andati in salari? In investimenti per le imprese? Sono andati alle rendite. Quelli che chiamano extra profitti sono il record storico di bilanci non di qualche banca. Di tutte le banche”.

Marco Simiani: “Che partenza fantastica! Spazio eventi pieno, ristorante affollatissimo, tantissima partecipazione e un’energia travolgente per l’inaugurazione della nostra Festa dell’Unità di Grosseto. Non potevamo chiedere un inizio migliore: aprire questa edizione insieme a Pier Luigi Bersani è stato un momento straordinario di comunità, confronto aperto e passione politica vera. Un grazie di cuore a tutte le persone che hanno riempito la serata, a chi si è fermato a discutere, ad ascoltare o semplicemente a condividere un momento in compagnia sulle Mura Medicee.E il grazie più grande va, come sempre, alla nostra squadra formidabile di volontarie e volontari: senza il vostro lavoro instancabile, il vostro entusiasmo e la vostra generosità tutto questo non sarebbe possibile. La bella politica si fa tra la gente”.

Giacomo Termine: “Una partenza bellissima! Tantissime persone alle Mura Medicee di Grosseto per l’inizio della Festa regionale de l’Unità: voglia di esserci e di confrontarsi. Con buona pace di chi sui social si scatena con insulti e commenti violenti: qui ci sono persone, sorrisi e una comunità che ha voglia di costruire una alternativa seria, concreta e credibile”.

SUWANEE, Ga., Aug. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Marking the official opening of its North American manufacturing facility in Georgia, global Tier-1 supplier YFORE Technology debuted its Occupant & Driver Monitoring System (ODMS)—an integrated in-cabin full-coverage sensing solution. 

As in-cabin monitoring systems become standard, conventional vision-only setups often struggle with seatback occlusion, footwell blind spots, and covered occupants, while distributed sensors complicate vehicle wiring and roof tooling. To solve this, YFORE’s ODMS combines a DMS/OMS-integrated smart mirror with automotive-grade cabin radar, delivering an integrated multimodal architecture for robust cabin protection. 

Multimodal Fusion Eliminates Blind SpotsIntegrating the smart mirror with in-cabin radar overcomes optical limitations through RF signal penetration. The smart mirror’s high-definition camera tracks driver fatigue, distraction, and unresponsive states from a prime forward angle. Simultaneously, the roof radar penetrates blankets, clothing, and tall seatbacks to capture micro-breathing in rear rows and footwells, achieving comprehensive 3D spatial coverage. 

Full-Scenario Sensing Aligned with Safety StandardsThe ODMS architecture covers seven core functions: driver fatigue, distraction, unresponsive driver, and phone use detection, alongside seatbelt status, occupant classification, and full-cabin life presence detection. This integrated approach provides automakers with a reliable, full-scenario sensing foundation to help vehicles achieve five-star safety ratings under Euro NCAP. 

Streamlined Architecture and Cabin SpaceBy embedding optical components into the smart mirror and pairing them with a compact radar module, ODMS eliminates multiple headliner cutouts and complex roof wiring.

FIRENZE – Una nuova replica nel dibattito sulle modalità di gestione e contenimento dei detenuti violenti all’interno degli istituti di pena italiani. Donato Capece, segretario generale del Sindacato autonomo polizia penitenziaria (Sappe), ha risposto alle polemiche sorte attorno alla proposta dell’organizzazione sindacale per contrastare gli episodi di aggressione e vandalismo nelle sezioni ordinarie.

Nella sua nota, il rappresentante sindacale fa riferimento anche alle analisi di Giovanni Battista de Blasis pubblicate sul portale PoliziaPenitenziaria.it, relative all’esigenza di superare la prassi dei continui trasferimenti e di applicare appieno le disposizioni previste dall’ordinamento, con riferimento all’articolo 14-bis dell’ordinamento penitenziario e all’articolo 32 del Dpr 230/2000.

“Ci viene contestata una proposta, una impostazione di fondo, che il Sappe non ha mai fatto. Non abbiamo chiesto di riaprire nostalgicamente le vecchie supercarceri di Pianosa e Asinara, non abbiamo invocato l’isolamento permanente dei detenuti e non abbiamo mai pensato di ‘buttare la chiave’ – chiarisce Capece – Abbiamo posto una domanda concreta: come deve reagire lo Stato davanti a quella minoranza di detenuti che aggredisce ripetutamente poliziotti Penitenziari e altri reclusi, incendia celle, devasta sezioni e continua a seminare violenza, magari passando semplicemente da un carcere all’altro?”.

L’organizzazione sindacale rigetta l’interpretazione di chi accusa la proposta di voler ripristinare modelli passati: “Qualcuno ha preferito combattere contro uno spaventapasseri costruito ad arte piuttosto che confrontarsi con ciò che abbiamo realmente scritto. La nostra proposta è semplice: utilizzare concretamente gli strumenti già previsti dall’ordinamento, a partire dall’articolo 14-bis e dall’articolo 32 del Dpr 230 del 2000, realizzando una rete limitata di istituti o sezioni specializzate per quei soggetti che, per il loro comportamento concreto durante la detenzione, richiedono particolari cautele”.

Sul tema del recupero delle storiche strutture insulari, il segretario precisa: “Le supercarceri degli anni Ottanta e Novanta non devono tornare. Quello che merita di essere recuperato è il principio organizzativo della differenziazione. Non tutti i detenuti possono essere gestiti nello stesso modo e negli stessi luoghi. Abbiamo parlato di strutture del 2026, non di riaprire cancelli impolverati da trent’anni“.

La misura proposta prescinde dall’appartenenza a circuiti di criminalità organizzata o dal regime del 41-bis: “Parliamo della pericolosità operativa che si manifesta quotidianamente nelle sezioni ordinarie. Un detenuto può non appartenere alla mafia e tuttavia aggredire ripetutamente agenti e compagni, incendiare materassi, distruggere celle e impianti e destabilizzare un’intera sezione. Questa realtà esiste e negarla significa voltare le spalle a chi lavora ogni giorno nelle carceri. Il criterio non deve essere la diagnosi, la nazionalità, la tossicodipendenza o il reato commesso, ma esclusivamente il comportamento concretamente tenuto durante la detenzione. Comprendere le cause di un’aggressione non può significare ignorarne le conseguenze. Se una persona necessita di cure, lo Stato deve garantirle. Ma deve contemporaneamente proteggere Poliziotti Penitenziari, altri detenuti e operatori”.

In merito alle caratteristiche operative del sistema ipotizzato dal Sappe e alle richieste indirizzate ai vertici istituzionali, Capece aggiunge: “Sicurezza e trattamento non sono nemici. La sicurezza è la condizione perché il trattamento possa esistere. Al ministro Nordio e al capo del Dap De Michele chiediamo una ricognizione nazionale sulle aggressioni e sull’applicazione degli articoli 14-bis e 32, un tavolo tecnico e un piano operativo per strutture specializzate. Potranno essere realtà insulari logisticamente compatibili oppure altri luoghi più idonei: non difendiamo una scelta geografica, ma un principio. Le vecchie supercarceri non devono tornare. Deve però tornare la capacità dello Stato di distinguere, organizzare, curare e, quando necessario, contenere“.

FIRENZE – Prorogato fino al prossimo 13 settembre il divieto assoluto di abbruciamento di residui vegetali agricoli e forestali in tutta la Toscana. Il termine, inizialmente fissato al 31 agosto, è stato spostato a causa delle condizioni meteo previste per l’inizio del mese di settembre dal Consorzio Lamma che indicano alte temperature e tempo sereno e secco in gran parte della regione. Ricordiamo che il divieto è entrato in vigore dallo scorso 13 giugno.

Oltre al divieto di abbruciamento di residui vegetali, nel periodo a rischio il regolamento forestale della Toscana vieta qualsiasi accensione di fuochi, ad esclusione della cottura di cibi in bracieri e barbecue situati in abitazioni o pertinenze e all’interno delle aree attrezzate. Anche in questi casi vanno comunque osservate le prescrizioni del regolamento forestale.

In deroga, l’ente competente su ciascun territorio può autorizzare attività di campeggio anche temporaneo e fuochi anche pirotecnici, tramite autorizzazioni che contengano le necessarie prescrizioni e precauzioni da adottare per scongiurare qualsiasi rischio di innesco di incendio.

La mancata osservanza delle norme di prevenzione comporta l’applicazione di pesanti sanzioni previste dalle disposizioni in materia.

I cittadini sono invitati a segnalare tempestivamente eventuali focolai al numero verde della Sala operativa regionale 800 425 425 o al numero unico europeo di emergenza 112.

La Regione, in collaborazione con il Consorzio Lamma e Cnr-Ibe dispone di un sistema di previsione del rischio incendi basato sull’indice canadese Fwi (Fire Weather Index), utilizzato per valutare quotidianamente le condizioni favorevoli all’innesco e alla propagazione degli incendi boschivi. In base a questo sistema di previsione, ogni giorno del periodo a rischio verrà pubblicato sulla home page della Regione Toscana il bollettino incendi boschivi.

Il sistema di classificazione del rischio, condiviso a livello nazionale, individua quattro livelli di pericolosità associati ad altrettanti colori, analogamente a quanto avviene per le allerte meteo.

Per ciascun comune toscano sarà così possibile conoscere immediatamente il livello di rischio presente sul territorio.

Il bollettino contiene, inoltre, una sezione dedicata ai comportamenti corretti da adottare e alle attività consentite, in funzione del grado di rischio previsto.

VIAREGGIO – Tragedia nel tardo pomeriggio sul litorale di Viareggio, dove un uomo di 84 anni, originario di Vinci, ha perso la vita per annegamento mentre si trovava in acqua.

L’allarme alla centrale operativa dell’emergenza sanitaria è scattato intorno alle 18 nelle acque antistanti la Passeggiata, nello specchio di mare compreso tra i Bagni Principe e Imperia. Notata la situazione di grave pericolo, si è messa immediatamente in moto la macchina dei soccorsi: le persone presenti nello stabilimento e i bagnini di salvataggio si sono tuffati per recuperare l’anziano e riportarlo a riva, avviando subito le prime manovre di rianimazione. 

Sul posto sono tempestivamente giunte l’automedica, un’ambulanza della Misericordia di Viareggio e il personale della Capitaneria di Porto per la gestione degli aspetti di competenza. I sanitari hanno proseguito a lungo i tentativi di rianimazione cardio-polmonare, anche con l’ausilio del defibrillatore. Purtroppo ogni sforzo si è rivelato vano ed è stato possibile soltanto constatare il decesso dell’ottantaquattrenne per arresto cardiocircolatorio da annegamento.

COREGLIA – Paura nel primo pomeriggio di oggi in Mediavalle per un doppio evento sismico che ha fatto tremare la terra in provincia di Lucca, venendo chiaramente avvertito dalla popolazione di diversi comuni.

La prima scossa, la più intensa, è stata registrata dai sismografi dell’Istituto nazionale di geofisica e vulcanologia alle 15,06. L’epicentro è stato localizzato a 6 chilometri a nord-est del comune di Coreglia Antelminelli, ad una profondità di 9 chilometri. Il movimento tellurico ha raggiunto una magnitudo di 3.2 ed è stato avvertito nitidamente dai residenti della zona e dei centri limitrofi.

Appena tre minuti più tardi, alle 15,09, si è verificata una seconda scossa di assestamento. Il nuovo evento sismico ha registrato una magnitudo di 2.6 ed è stato localizzato con il medesimo epicentro.

Subito dopo le scosse la macchina dei controlli e della protezione civile si è messa in moto per le verifiche del caso sul territorio. Fortunatamente, secondo le prime ricognizioni e le informazioni raccolte presso i comandi dei vigili del fuoco e le forze dell’ordine, non si registrano danni a cose o persone, né segnalazioni di criticità particolari alle strutture, pur avendo generato apprensione tra i cittadini.
