Originally published on BMS.com
PRINCETON, N.J., January 22, 2026 /3BL/– Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY, “BMS”), a global leader in oncology, announced an agreement with Microsoft, a market leader in AI-powered radiology and clinical workflow technologies, aiming to accelerate early detection of lung cancer.
Through this digital health collaboration, U.S. FDA-cleared radiology AI algorithms will be deployed via Microsoft’s Precision Imaging Network, part of Microsoft for Healthcare radiology solutions. Today, more than 80% of hospitals in the U.S. use Microsoft’s award-winning network to share medical imaging and access third-party imaging AI. AI capabilities available through Precision Imaging Network can automatically analyze X-ray and CT images to help identify lung disease, supporting radiologists in their daily workflow and helping reduce clinical workload. These advanced AI algorithms can help surface hard to detect lung nodules, potentially identify patients at earlier stages of lung cancer, and help triage them for appropriate care.
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, with approximately 125,000 deaths and 227,000 new cases reported annually. Medically underserved populations experience even higher lung cancer mortality rates and are less likely to receive guideline-concordant screening. With more than half of the patients with incidental findings lost to follow-up, the collaboration leverages workflow management tools to track patients with lung nodules through care pathways and help ensure regular follow-up.
“By combining Microsoft’s highly scalable radiology solutions with BMS’ deep expertise in oncology and drug delivery, we’ve envisioned a unique AI-enabled workflow that helps clinicians quickly and accurately identify patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and guide them to optimal care pathways and precision therapies,” said Dr. Alexandra Goncalves, VP and Head of Digital Health, Bristol Myers Squibb. “An integrated, AI-powered platform that streamlines patient flow can significantly improve operational efficiency and patient outcomes.”
A core objective of the collaboration is to expand access to early detection in medically underserved communities, including rural hospitals and community clinics across the United States. By harnessing advanced AI tools, especially in resource-limited settings, this initiative promotes earlier diagnosis and follow-up, enabling more equitable care for all patients.
“This new Microsoft collaboration reflects our commitment to breaking down barriers and addressing healthcare challenges,” said Andrew Whitehead, VP and Head of Population Health, Bristol Myers Squibb. “At BMS, health equity is not a standalone initiative—it is embedded in everything we do. By deploying this solution and bringing advanced AI tools to the front lines, together we will help to address health disparities in lung cancer.”
The early detection strategy for lung cancer directly supports BMS’ commitment to health equity and its focus on scalable, sustainable solutions to improve patient outcomes.
“With Microsoft’s AI-powered radiology technology platform widely deployed within healthcare delivery organizations across the country and operating behind the scenes, clinicians can more easily identify patients who may be showing early signs of cancer—often before they are aware of any symptoms—and help guide them into the appropriate care pathway sooner,” said Peter Durlach, Corporate Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, Microsoft Health and Life Sciences. “This is a clear win for both patients and providers and aligns with Microsoft’s goals to utilize technology to unlock insights, increase efficiencies, and improve patient care.”
68 Nonprofit Organizations Receive Funding to Fight Child Hunger and Bring Joy to Kids Facing Illness across Dunkin’ Communities
NEW YORK, Jan. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, the Dunkin’® Joy in Childhood Foundation announced it awarded more than $1.6 million in grants and Signature Impact Programs to 68 nonprofit organizations across the New York metro region in 2025. Funding supported programs that bring joy to children facing illness or food insecurity in 2025 and Signature Program grants awarded will be leveraged into 2026. Each year, the Foundation supports both longstanding partners and new grantees that directly assist children and families during some of life’s most challenging moments.
The Joy in Childhood Foundation has four Signature Programs: Dunkin’ Joyful Spaces, Dunkin’ Prom, Connecting Joy, and Dogs for Joy. These initiatives – including eight in Metro NY for 2025 – deliver meaningful, lasting impact for children and families served specifically by hospitals and community health centers. Benefitting organizations included:
- Sunrise Day Camps Association Inc. received a grant to provide free, full summer day-camp experiences for more than 1,000 children with cancer and their siblings in Long Island and Pearl River, creating spaces where kids can laugh, build friendships, and enjoy these childhood moments.
- The Boomer Esiason Foundation received a grant to support its scholarship program for adolescents living with cystic fibrosis (CF), as well as for siblings and children of individuals with CF. This cause is one that Dunkin’ and the Foundation have rallied behind for years, with funding helping students pursue higher education and plan for their futures despite ongoing medical and financial challenges.
- St. Joseph’s Health unveiled its new children’s hospital playrooms earlier this year, made possible in part by a “Joyful Spaces” grant from the Foundation, designed to provide patients with an escape from the traditional hospital setting. A “Dogs for Joy” grant also allowed the hospital to add a full-time facility dog from Canine Companions to provide comfort and companionship to young patients during their stays.
Dunkin’ franchisees also play an active role in the Joy in Childhood Foundation’s work across the region, serving as generous donors, encouraging local nonprofit organizations to apply for funding, and a committee of franchisees help guide how grant dollars are allocated to best support community needs.
“This year’s grants reflect what we’re hearing from our communities,” said Tara Carson, Dunkin’ Field Marketing Director in the region. “From increased demand at food banks to the need for moments of normalcy for children who are hospitalized, these organizations are stepping up in meaningful ways – whether that’s putting meals on tables or creating spaces where kids can simply be kids. We’re proud to support these organizations as they continue to show up for families across the area.”
2025 grants awarded to hunger relief organizations amid heightened demand included Fulfill (The Foodbank of Monmouth & Ocean Counties), Table to Table, The Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County, Feeding Westchester, Food Bank For New York City, and others. In addition, the Foundation donated 23,310 meals through Long Island Cares, helping ensure children and families had access to consistent, nutritious food throughout Long Island.
Through continued grantmaking and community partnerships, the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation remains focused on supporting children and bringing them joy when they need it most. For more information about the Joy in Childhood Foundation, please visit https://joyinchildhoodfoundation.org/.

Empira is embedding Optiml’s platform across key geographies and asset classes to support its Transition-to-Green Fund, designed to future-proof real estate investments in Germany and across Europe. The fund targets energy-inefficient properties with repositioning potential, leveraging government incentives for green refurbishment and comprehensive asset management to deliver high-quality, sustainable residential and office assets.
Torsten Bergmann, Vice President Investment Advisory for Empira commented:
“Digital decision intelligence is now essential to delivering both resilient returns and credible decarbonisation, starting as early as receiving a first investment memo. Optiml provides the analytical depth we need to drive consistent, scalable impact across our funds and supports our Transition-to-Green strategy with reliable decision-making”
Ralf Morrisse, Head of Transactions for Empira commented:
“Our aim is to convert energy-inefficient buildings into sustainable real estate portfolios and, in doing so, make a meaningful contribution to reducing CO₂ emissions in the property sector – while at the same time ensuring strong financial value for our investors. Optiml has convinced us with a truly unique offering that brings together CapEx planning, capital efficiency and return optimisation, alongside the decarbonisation of individual buildings and entire portfolios. This will support our teams in managing assets end-to-end across the full building lifecycle – starting already at the transaction stage”
Optiml: Driving Financial Returns Through Green Transition
Real estate represents nearly 40% of global energy-related emissions, and industry leaders are increasingly required to demonstrate credible and financially robust decarbonisation strategies. Optiml’s REDI platform gives investors and managers a unified engine for assessing Capex, climate pathways, asset risk, and long-term value helping them to determine where to allocate capital, which assets to retrofit, and how to manage performance across diverse portfolios, including green investment funds.
Dr. Evan Petkov, Co-Founder & CEO of Optiml, stated:
“Empira is one of Europe’s most sophisticated institutional investors and a Swiss market leader. Their commitment to integrated, data-driven decarbonisation and green fund investment sets a powerful example for the sector, and we are proud to support their long-term strategy.”
Nico Dehnert, Co-Founder & CCO of Optiml, added:
“Our work together shows what’s possible when market-leading investors combine financial discipline with rigorous sustainability intelligence. The partnership will help unlock smarter capital allocation and measurable performance improvements across Empira’s funds, starting with the ambitious Transition-to-Green Fund.“
