    The Regrets They Carried and the Love They Rebuilt: Authors Katie & Chris Bowick Share Their Relentless Journey Through Addiction, Codependency, and Redemption in Coloring Outside the Lines

    DENVER, CO / ACCESS Newswire / November 20, 2025 / In a society that rarely talks about the quiet devastation addiction brings to a marriage, Katie and Chris Bowick offer something rare: a brave, two-voice memoir that reveals the hidden truths, the painful regrets, and the unexpected redemption born from choosing to heal.

    Coloring Outside the Lines: A Love Story in the Gray of Addiction, Recovery, and Redemption is a gripping, dual-perspective account of the Bowicks’ journey through addiction, codependency, trauma, and, ultimately, healing. Told in two raw and unforgettable voices, their story weaves together pain and perseverance, heartbreak and grace, and the surprising pathways that lead toward hope.

    Chris, a charismatic, witty, and accomplished entrepreneur, breaks many stereotypes about what many believe addiction should look like. His outward success masked profound internal pain: unhealed childhood trauma, loss, grief, and ultimately, full-blown addiction. Katie’s story is equally compelling. Caught between love and impossible choices, she became the keeper of secrets, manager of chaos, and tireless advocate for a life that seemed to be slipping away. Her resilience was fueled by her faith and a deep belief in the quiet beauty that exists in both the people and world around her. Even in their darkest moments, she held on to the hope that healing, for both of them, was still possible.

    Coloring Outside the Lines quickly climbed the charts, becoming a #1 New Release in five categories, including Substance Abuse Recovery and Psychological Pathologies, and earning the #2 bestseller spots in Codependency, as well as Drug Dependency & Recovery. The book’s striking cover was designed by Rich Johnson of Spectacle Photography, with photography by Angelli Nguyen and creative direction by Samantha Joy.

    The Bowicks’ unique experience navigating addiction led them to many forms of recovery. What they found was that many traditional models for addiction rehab did not work for their lived experience. Eager to help Chris get to the other side of addiction, they began to seek alternative forms of rehab and therapy.

    “We want to change how people see addiction. It’s not a character flaw or a moral failure. It’s something that touches us all, and the sooner we stop treating people like villains, the sooner real healing can begin.” – Chris Bowick

    Together, the Bowicks pull back the curtain on the often-invisible toll of addiction. Despite deep diving into the realities of addiction, Coloring Outside the Lines is not simply a story of struggle; it is a story of rebuilding and reckoning, of choosing healing not just through traditional recovery models, but also through plant and animal medicine, therapy, faith, and deep self-exploration.

    At its heart, the book is about love. Not the romanticized version, but the unflinching, gritty kind. The kind that shows up at 3 a.m., forgives without forgetting, holds space without enabling, and learns to set boundaries without abandoning the heart.

    “We stopped trying to fit our healing inside the lines and started coloring with every shade to get out of the gray. Loving someone through addiction means living in that in-between space, where hope and heartbreak collide. I had to learn that healing wasn’t just his journey. It was mine too.” – Katie Bowick

    Coloring Outside the Lines is a mirror for anyone who has ever loved someone battling addiction or has ever lost themselves in the process. Through raw storytelling and dual perspectives, readers witness the collapse of a marriage and the painstaking reconstruction that follows.

    Addiction is messy, but so is healing, and I think we forget that sometimes. This book takes you through every emotion but ultimately leaves you with a deeper understanding of what addiction is, what an addict endures, and how they can come out the other side, and the kind of support it truly takes to get there – Ashley P.

    Published by Landon Hail Press, this memoir offers readers both the heartbreak and the hope that come with rebuilding a life touched by trauma, relapse, boundaries, recovery, and the radical relearning of unconditional love. Dedicated to creating a sacred and transparent space for writers, Landon Hail Press allows authors to own the creative direction of their book and their brand. LHP books have been sold on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, bookshop.org, and more, and featured in major publications like The Daily Mail and People.com.

    “Katie and Chris do what most substance abuse programs do not, highlighting the bonds that are forged (and broken) in the storm of active addiction and recovery, giving the reader reference points for every step of the journey. It includes the partner’s perspective of what it’s like to love an addict and the emptiness it brings, being out of the spotlight, cast away in the darkness,” says Samantha Joy, Editor-in-Chief at Landon Hail Press. “Their stories emphasize how nonlinear this process is, and that overcoming addiction in its simplest form is making the conscious choice to come back home to yourself and each other again and again.”

  • XCF Global Welcomes Growing Momentum for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Adoption in the United States

    XCF Global Welcomes Growing Momentum for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Adoption in the United States

    • Policy Momentum: Federal and state policy alignment is accelerating nationwide SAF adoption

    • Market Opportunity: U.S. SAF market projected at $7 billion by 2030, with a $25 billion global opportunity

    • Strategic Investment: $350 million invested in the New Rise Reno facility, advancing America’s push to decarbonize aviation

    HOUSTON, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / November 20, 2025 / XCF Global, Inc. (“XCF”) (Nasdaq:SAFX), a key player in decarbonizing the aviation industry through Sustainable Aviation Fuel (“SAF”), today commented on the expanding policy momentum supporting SAF adoption across the United States.

    Momentum is building fast. Under the U.S. SAF Grand Challenge, federal targets call for 3 billion gallons of annual production by 2030 – scaling to 35 billion gallons by 2050 to meet 100% of domestic demand. Today, production remains below 1% of U.S. jet fuel use, underscoring both the urgency and the scale of the opportunity.

    The U.S. SAF market is expected to grow more than seven-fold – from approximately $860 million in 2024 to nearly $7 billion by 2030 – representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of ~47%. Globally, the SAF market is projected to exceed $25 billion, with worldwide demand surpassing 5.5 billion gallons over the same period.

    At the state level, momentum is accelerating in parallel. California, Oregon, Washington, and New Mexico have adopted low-carbon fuel standards that include SAF, and five additional states are advancing similar frameworks. Collectively, these states represent nearly 40% of total U.S. jet fuel consumption, creating a rapidly expanding incentive landscape for SAF deployment.

    “Policy momentum is transforming aspiration into execution,” said Chris Cooper, CEO of XCF Global. “The U.S. is making it clear that sustainable aviation fuel is essential to the future of aviation. With supportive federal and state frameworks, airlines and energy companies can move beyond pilot programs and commit to long-term, scalable decarbonization strategies. At XCF, we’re building one of America’s leading SAF platforms – designed to scale production, strengthen domestic supply chains, and meet the growing demand for home-grown, low-carbon fuels.”

    From inception, approximately $350 million has been invested in XCF’s flagship New Rise Reno facility. The company is advancing a project pipeline of three additional sites. The second facility, New Rise Reno 2, located adjacent to the existing site, will share utilities and logistics infrastructure to maximize efficiencies. XCF expects construction to begin in 2026 and operations from 2028, following an additional $300 million investment that is expected to double production capacity to ~80 million gallons per year.

    As global demand accelerates, the U.S. has an opportunity to not only meet its own decarbonization goals but also to become a leading exporter of low-carbon fuels. Expanding domestic SAF production supports the Make More in America Initiative, creates high-tech, clean-energy jobs, and strengthens the nation’s competitiveness in the global energy transition.

    “America’s aviation industry has always thrived on innovation,” Cooper continued. “With clear policy alignment and accelerating demand, the U.S. has a generational opportunity to lead the world in sustainable aviation. XCF is committed to turning that opportunity into action – transforming today’s policy commitments into tomorrow’s progress.”

    About XCF Global, Inc.

    XCF Global, Inc. is a pioneering sustainable aviation fuel company dedicated to accelerating the aviation industry’s transition to net-zero emissions. Our flagship facility, New Rise Reno, has a nameplate production capacity of 38 million gallons per year, positioning XCF as an early mover among large-scale SAF producers in North America. XCF is advancing a pipeline of three additional sites in Nevada, North Carolina, and Florida, and is building partnerships across the energy and transportation sectors to scale SAF globally. XCF is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and trades under the ticker, SAFX. Current outstanding shares: ~159.2 million; <20% free float (as of November 20, 2025).

  • The Hidden Crisis in Global Trade Just Went Public and SMX Holds the Vital Scalable Answer

    The Hidden Crisis in Global Trade Just Went Public and SMX Holds the Vital Scalable Answer

    NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 20, 2025 / Most institutions didn’t build ahead of the new rules for global trade and its supply chains. They never expected any to emerge. So they built for what they knew best, an antiquated world where supply chains behaved predictably, certifications were trusted by default, and threats followed the familiar contours of physical borders.

    The past few years shattered that illusion. Infiltrated materials, falsified documentation, unverifiable recycling claims, and foreign influence operations created vulnerabilities so deep that regulators had no choice but to rewrite the playbook. Governments and corporations are now reacting, scrambling to seal gaps they never expected to exist. SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) isn’t scrambling. SMX saw these fractures forming long before the market understood what they meant, and it built the one system designed to close every exposure these new rules have brought into the light.

    Companies had time to stay ahead of the game. This shift in supply chain integrity didn’t happen in a single moment. It happened through accumulation, one breach layered onto another until the old assumptions finally collapsed. That’s the point where most organizations realized they were operating without the ability to authenticate the inputs flowing through their systems. They could monitor activity, but they could not confirm identity. They could measure output, but they could not prove origin.

    SMX built its molecular identity platform before the blind spots became public weaknesses, creating a way for materials themselves to carry truth no matter how far they travel or how many times they change form. That’s the good news for everyone.

    Countries Are Partnering Quickly in 2025

    Singapore’s A*STAR is on board, selecting SMX to help build a national infrastructure for plastic circularity. This is a stark departure from the status quo. Countries like Singapore aren’t looking for more dashboards or better spreadsheets. They need real verification at the molecular level, full digital passports that hold up under pressure, and a financial system like the Plastic Cycle Token that assigns value to authenticated behavior rather than reported intentions. A*STAR recognized that SMX didn’t wait for regulations to force action. It built the infrastructure required to meet them the moment they arrived.

    Industry after industry is now experiencing the same reckoning. Brands that once relied on loose certification frameworks-recycled plastics, natural rubber, textiles, electronics, luxury goods, semiconductors-have been pushed into a level of accountability they were never structurally designed to meet. They are retrofitting old processes to survive new expectations. SMX doesn’t retrofit. It embeds identity at the beginning of the chain, transforming compliance from an annual exercise into a living, persistent layer of truth.

    This distinction matters. Monitoring tools track behavior after it happens. SMX verifies identity before it happens. Monitoring can be gamed, evaded, or manipulated. Molecular identity cannot. That is the line now dividing the companies prepared for the future from the ones still patching the past.

    Not Just Material Products Like Gold, Textiles, and Rubber

    National security agencies are arriving at the same realization. Modern infiltration isn’t defined by force; it’s defined by deception. The most damaging breaches don’t come through broken gates. They come through trusted doors. They come disguised as legitimate materials, credentials, certifications, and narratives that slip into environments assumed to be safe. Once inside, the damage is already done.

    No worries for those paying attention. SMX closes that entry point. It authenticates every input, whether it is a shipment of metals, a recycled plastic bale, a computer processor or component, a precious metal bar, or a digital credential entering a system. It makes infiltration visible not after an incident but before it becomes one. And it does so in seconds, not days, weeks, or months, through a proprietary scanner designed for one purpose, to tell the truth.

    Still, verification is just part of the SMX coverage. Its Plastic Cycle Token takes it to the next level. It’s not a speculative asset. It’s a value layer that emerges directly from verified material. Once authenticated, every unit of recycled plastic becomes a tradable, enforceable representation of real circularity. That changes compliance. It changes economics. And best of all, it changes how countries enforce environmental policy without crushing industry under impossible reporting burdens. SMX built this before regulators began the global shift toward enforcement. Now the world needs it.

    And that is the point organizations must understand. The institutions acting now, including the six partnerships SMX secured so far in 2025, will lead the next era of supply-chain power. They will set the standards others follow, shaping the very definition of authenticity, accountability, and resilience. The ones who delay will spend years trying to retrofit systems that were never meant to withstand this level of scrutiny. They will face more than delay. They will face decay in brand perception, consumer trust, and regulatory pressure.

    It’s No Secret… SMX Is Shouting the Answer

    The message is no longer a secret. SMX is doing everything it can to shout from global rooftops that vulnerabilities are exposed and capable of causing catastrophic results. The grid, national security, counterfeiting, and defense systems are all at risk, not once in a while but 24/7/365.

    It’s time for the world to pay attention to what SMX has been saying. The rules have changed. And the only way to win this new game is to be the leader who never gives up ground. SMX built the system that makes that possible.

    About SMX

    As global businesses face new and complex challenges relating to carbon neutrality and meeting new governmental and regional regulations and standards, SMX is able to offer players along the value chain access to its marking, tracking, measuring and digital platform technology to transition more successfully to a low-carbon economy.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    This editorial contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of United States federal securities laws, and these statements are based on current expectations, assumptions, estimates, and projections regarding future events, business conditions, market dynamics, and the anticipated performance of SMX. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and are not guarantees of future performance, and they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that are difficult to predict and may be beyond the control of SMX. Actual results performance or achievements may differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward looking statements due to a variety of factors including but not limited to changes in domestic or international regulatory requirements shifts in global supply chain conditions fluctuations in market acceptance and adoption of emerging verification technologies variations in economic or geopolitical environments competitive developments operational challenges in scaling new systems or partnerships and the ability of SMX to execute on its strategic initiatives commercial goals and research and development programs. Additional risks that could impact forward looking statements include changes in customer demand the timing and success of product deployments or pilot programs the availability of financing or capital resources industry wide disruptions shifts in sustainability reporting standards or auditing requirements evolving national security directives updates to environmental or materials traceability frameworks and the capacity of SMX to attract retain and collaborate with key partners governments corporations and research institutions. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect only the information and views available as of the date of publication and which may change as new events emerge or as underlying assumptions evolve.

  • In Support of Possible Expedited Approval Pathway for Crofelemer for Treatment of Microvillus Inclusion Disease (MVID), Jaguar Health Submits Amended Protocol to FDA for Ongoing Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial

    In Support of Possible Expedited Approval Pathway for Crofelemer for Treatment of Microvillus Inclusion Disease (MVID), Jaguar Health Submits Amended Protocol to FDA for Ongoing Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial

    Crofelemer can potentially extend lives of MVID patients – infants and children who face the lethal natural history of the disease

    Parenteral support reduction of up to 37% is groundbreaking; No approved treatments exist for MVID in any region

    SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / November 20, 2025 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) (Jaguar) family company Napo Pharmaceuticals (Napo) today announced that, in support of a possible expedited approval pathway for crofelemer for treatment of intestinal failure in patients with the ultrarare genetic disorder microvillus inclusion disease (MVID), the company has submitted an amended protocol to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the company’s ongoing placebo-controlled clinical trial of crofelemer in pediatric MVID patients.

    MVID patients are born without the ability to absorb the basic nutrients of life, and are therefore subject to a lethal natural history and a lifetime of parenteral support which is associated with toxicities and comorbidities. The ability of crofelemer to decrease the volume of parenteral support is potentially life extending for these patients and is thus disease progression modifying. Crofelemer provides an opportunity for improved quality of life, potentially reducing the time MVID patients spend on parenteral nutrition and/or supplemental intravenous fluids by up to 37% a day from what is often up to 20 hours a day, 7 days a week to support the daily electrolyte and nutrient needs of the patient.

    “In light of the initial groundbreaking results of the investigator-initiated trial (IIT) of crofelemer in the United Arab Emirates for treatment of MVID and in support of our efforts to make crofelemer available to children with MVID as quickly and efficiently as possible, as announced, the company met with the FDA on October 2, 2025 to seek their advice regarding our ongoing clinical trial of crofelemer for MVID treatment. Based on the feedback from the FDA during this meeting, we have proposed an amendment to our protocol for this study and submitted the amended protocol to the FDA for their review. Our expectation is that the amended protocol, along with the results of this study, if positive, will support a faster FDA review and approval of crofelemer for MVID,” said Pravin Chaturvedi, PhD, Jaguar’s Chief Scientific Officer and Chair of the Jaguar and Napo Scientific Advisory Board.

    Jaguar has also discussed the potential for approval of crofelemer for MVID with the European Medicines Agency, the EU’s equivalent of the FDA, based on a study in potentially a small number of patients given the burden of MVID. “That’s how unprecedented crofelemer’s mechanism of action and these results are in intestinal failure patients with MVID,” said Lisa Conte, Jaguar’s founder, president, and CEO. “MVID is a devastating ultrarare pediatric disorder, with an estimated worldwide prevalence of only 100-200 patients, so a trial of crofelemer in just a small number of MVID patients is expected to be statistically meaningful.”

    As presented on November 8, 2025, at the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) Annual Meeting, the initial groundbreaking results of an ongoing and independent IIT of crofelemer in the UAE for treatment of pediatric intestinal failure, which includes patients with intestinal failure due to MVID and short bowel syndrome (SBS-IF), demonstrate disease progression modification through reduction of total parenteral support (PS) in pediatric intestinal failure patients that ranged from 12 to 37%. For the initial MVID patient who has completed treatment, PS needs were reduced by up to 27% at the highest dose over the initial 12-week treatment period and up to 37% during the extension period upon reinitiation of crofelemer treatment, and also showed reduced frequency of loose watery stools. This finding supports continued evaluation of crofelemer to reduce PS needs for pediatric MVID patients.

    MVID causes intestinal failure, a situation where the patient’s intestines are unable to absorb the fluids, electrolytes and nutrients required to survive and thrive. Intestinal failure is a debilitating, morbid and lifelong condition that often requires patients to receive life-sustaining fluids, electrolytes and nutrients through intravenous administration, which consists of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) with supplemental intravenous fluids, which together constitute parenteral support (PS). Most intestinal failure patients require PS up to 7 days a week, and sometimes for 20 hours or more per day. While crucial for these patients, PS is associated with significant toxicities to patients, similar to some toxicities associated with chemotherapy, often causing serious health problems including infections, metabolic complications, liver and kidney function problems – as well as a risk of neurodevelopmental delay. These symptoms may emerge at any time in intestinal failure patients, and often become life-threatening.

    In addition to supporting the IIT in the UAE and conducting the placebo-controlled clinical trial of crofelemer in pediatric MVID patients at sites in the U.S., E.U., and Middle East, the company is also providing crofelemer powder for oral solution for use in two expanded access programs in the U.S. to treat intestinal failure in pediatric patients with MVID.

  • Revelation Biosciences On Track for End-of-Phase 1 Meeting With FDA Later This Year

    Revelation Biosciences On Track for End-of-Phase 1 Meeting With FDA Later This Year

    SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / November 20, 2025 / Revelation Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:REVB) (the “Company” or “Revelation”), a clinical-stage life sciences company that is focused on rebalancing inflammation, today announced successful submission and acceptance of the end-of-phase 1 meeting package to FDA and that the company is on track to hold the meeting later this year. The primary purpose of this meeting is to establish agency feedback and input into the clinical development and regulatory approval pathway for Gemini as a treatment for acute kidney injury (AKI).

    “The Revelation team has worked tirelessly on our end-of-phase 1 meeting submission, and we look forward to our FDA meeting scheduled for later this year,” said James Rolke, Chief Executive Officer of Revelation. “Our near-term focus will be conducting the necessary activities for initiating and running a later stage clinical study during 2026 to evaluate the ability of Gemini to effectively treat AKI. In addition, we plan to publish additional positive results from the PRIME study that completed this year and to expand potential uses of Gemini for other conditions through preclinical and clinical testing.”

    Revelation recently announced positive safety and activity data from its Phase 1b PRIME clinical study in stage 3 and 4 chronic kidney disease patients. The primary endpoint to evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of Gemini was met. In addition, the potential of Gemini to treat acute and chronic inflammatory conditions was demonstrated by significantly reducing inflammatory activity and restoring normal cellular response to stimuli at the cellular level, as measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from patients at predose, 2, 24, and 168 hours post-dose.

    About the PRIME Study

    The PRIME study enrolled 40 patients from 32 to 78 years of age, at 3 US-based clinics specializing in the care of patients with CKD. A total of 5 cohorts (8 per cohort, 6 treated/2 placebo) at 4 dose levels were enrolled: a subtherapeutic dose, a low dose, the target dose (cohorts 3 and 4), and a high dose. Additionally, an extension protocol was conducted to collect PBMC and biomarker samples in 8 Gemini naive or secondary naive patients. The primary endpoint evaluation of safety was met. Patient PBMCs were isolated predose and at 2, 24, and 168 hours post-dose. PBMCs were analyzed ex vivo for background inflammation by measurement of IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, and IL‑1RA. Cells were also assessed for response to stimulation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS, also known as endotoxin) or high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1). Subgroup analysis divided patients into two categories, those with PBMCs of minimal background inflammation activity (40 pg/mL IL-1β) and normal response to stimuli, and those with significant background inflammation activity (>40 pg/mL IL-1β). Approximately 50% of patients were in each group.

    In patients with high background PBMC activity, Gemini significantly reduced inflammation relative to placebo patient PBMCs at all time-points post dose (IL-1β: p<0.01, IL-6: p<0.01, TNF-α: p=0.05, IL-10: p<0.01, IL-1RA: p<0.001). Background inflammation was reduced to levels comparable to PBMCs isolated from healthy subjects. In addition, Gemini was able to demonstrate correction of the immunoparalysis typical to chronic disease. Gemini significantly increased the responsiveness to LPS stimulation in high background patient PBMCs relative to placebo at all timepoints (IL-1β: p<0.0001, IL-6: p<0.0002, TNF-α: p<0.002, IL-10: p=0.09, IL-1RA: p<0.01). Gemini also significantly increased the responsiveness of patient PBMCs with high background vs placebo patient PBMCs with high background at all time-points to HMGB1 stimulation (IL-1β: p<0.05, IL-6: p<0.01, TNF-α: p<0.01, IL-10: p<0.05, IL-1RA: p<0.002). The increased responsiveness was comparable to PBMCs isolated from healthy subjects. These results show the ability of Gemini to salvage the normal inflammatory response, even as far as one week after a single dose. For the low background patients, as expected, Gemini does not increase inflammatory activity. Additional analysis on the effect of LPS or HMGB-1 stimulation is ongoing.

    Revelation will seek to publish these results and those from ongoing additional data analysis. For more information on Revelation, please visit www.RevBiosciences.com.

    About AKI

    Acute Kidney Injury or AKI, also known as acute renal failure, is defined as a rapid loss of kidney function. AKI causes a build-up of waste products in blood and makes it more difficult for kidneys to maintain the correct balance of fluid in the body. AKI can also significantly impact other organs such as the brain, heart, and lungs. Severe AKI requiring dialysis significantly increases the likelihood of worse outcomes including longer time in an ICU, potential to develop chronic kidney disease and death.

    AKI is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, affecting more than 10% of all hospitalized patients and more than 50% of patients admitted to intensive care units. Renal replacement therapy (dialysis) is still the only therapeutic option in the treatment of the consequences of severe AKI and is required in approximately 20% of all critically ill patients. Despite the fact that these patients show high mortality rates, up to 40% of patients who survive such an episode have develop chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease. As such, new therapies to treat AKI are currently needed.

    About Gemini

    Gemini is the Company’s proprietary formulation of phosphorylated hexaacyl disaccharide (PHAD®), a toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) agonist. TLR4 stimulation with Gemini rebalances the innate immune response and has been demonstrated to have the potential to treat acute and chronic diseases associated with dysregulated inflammation. Gemini is currently being evaluated as a potential treatment for acute kidney injury (GEMINI-AKI program). Gemini is also being developed as a treatment for chronic kidney disease (GEMINI-CKD program), as a treatment to reduce hyperinflammation and infection associated with severe burn (GEM-PBI) and as a treatment to prevent post-surgical infection (GEMINI-PSI program). The potential of Gemini has been demonstrated in multiple preclinical models of AKI, CKD and infection, as well as in two phase 1 clinical studies. See additional detail here.

    About Revelation Biosciences, Inc.

    Revelation Biosciences, Inc. is a clinical stage life sciences company focused on rebalancing inflammation using its proprietary formulation Gemini. Revelation has multiple ongoing programs to evaluate Gemini, including the treatment of chronic kidney disease, prevention for post-surgical infection and as a treatment for acute kidney injury.

  • TeleTracking Launches First AI-Powered Patient Throughput Solution, Decision IQ(R)

    TeleTracking Launches First AI-Powered Patient Throughput Solution, Decision IQ(R)

    University of Louisville Health pilots tool to tackle capacity constraints and improve patient flow across its system

    PITTSBURGH, PA / ACCESS Newswire / November 20, 2025 / TeleTracking Technologies, the market leader in healthcare operations platforms for hospitals and health systems, today announced the launch of Decision IQ, the first AI-driven solution designed to manage patient flow at scale, during its annual TeleSummit customer conference in Nashville. The solution is already in place at University of Louisville Health (UofL Health), where leaders are using it to address capacity constraints and improve access.

    Hospitals have long struggled to manage patient throughput – balancing incoming demand with limited space, staff, and resources – while relying on retrospective data that only shows what has already happened. Decision IQ replaces that model with proactive, system-wide visibility that empowers users to plan ahead and act in real time. At its core, Decision IQ is an AI-driven computational twin that unifies data from every department and ancillary service, creating a dynamic, system-wide view of patient movement. The technology simulates discharge priorities, predicts capacity needs, and translates those insights into clear direction within existing workflows to help care teams anticipate challenges before they escalate and reduce manual coordination so clinicians can focus more on patients.

    “Decision IQ is about taking throughput data and making it actionable,” said Christopher Johnson, Co-CEO, TeleTracking. “By surfacing potential issues before they arise and recommending adjustments across the system, leaders gain the foresight to mitigate bottlenecks in advance – ensuring patients remain at the center of operational decisions. This marks a true transformation in how hospitals manage operations in the age of AI.”

    UofL Health decided to implement Decision IQ after confronting growing capacity pressures and their impact on patient safety and care. As an early adopter, UofL saw the opportunity to apply AI to one of healthcare’s most persistent challenges – patient flow – and expand its longstanding partnership with TeleTracking beyond transfer operations.

    “Our teams work tirelessly to move patients safely and efficiently, but traditional processes made it difficult to stay ahead of daily demand,” said Deanna Parker, MBA, MHA, BSN, RN, VP, Chief Nurse Executive, Downtown UofL Health. “Decision IQ gives us a forward-looking view of our operations, helping us anticipate where throughput challenges will occur and coordinate across departments before they impact patient care.”

    About TeleTracking

    TeleTracking is a technology company and the global leader in healthcare Operations Platforms, helping hospitals and health systems optimize patient flow, capacity, staffing workflows, and performance across clinical and operational domains.
