New SoloVitals and SoloScribe capabilities bring contactless vitals and ambient documentation directly into clinical workflows

NEW YORK, Oct. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC), the global leader in virtual care, today announced two new AI-powered capabilities within Solo, its enterprise smart care platform for hospitals and health systems. SoloVitals and SoloScribe are designed to help health systems bring timely patient insights into the care environment, while reducing technology fragmentation and helping care teams stay focused on patient care.

“Health systems are under intense pressure to do more, yet they are spending more time navigating a growing number of platforms, tools and vendors, each requiring different technology and processes. Teladoc Health is extending care teams with embedded, clinically-validated AI, without the added complexity,” said Joby McKenzie, General Manager, North American Health Systems at Teladoc Health.

SoloVitals is an AI-powered contactless vital sign measurement solution that can capture heart rate and respiration rate without physically touching a patient. Using a patient’s existing camera-equipped device, such as a smart phone or tablet, SoloVitals analyzes subtle facial skin color changes through remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) technology to generate measurements. This capture provides clinicians with clinically-validated vital sign measurement during remote consultations to support better care decisions.

SoloScribe is an ambient AI documentation scribe that creates structured clinical notes in Solo, helping clinicians remain focused on the patient while documentation stays embedded in the virtual care workflow. SoloScribe supports both direct-to-patient and telemedicine device-based visits and creates a templated summary that is transferred into the EHR. This helps hospitals scale AI-assisted documentation across eligible clinicians, programs and workflows through one integrated Solo experience.

Both capabilities are embedded within Teladoc Health’s Solo platform, rather than requiring multiple disconnected point solutions. This creates a more scalable approach to AI-enabled care delivery that helps extend clinical teams, surface timely patient insights, and simplify technology management.

“When we embed practical AI directly into clinical workflows through one connected platform, we are helping to provide faster access to patient information, reduce administrative burdens, and enable hospitals to scale innovation without adding new infrastructure. This allows clinicians to remain focused on their patients and not on the technology or processes surrounding a care interaction,” said Danny Sanchez, Vice President of Technology and Innovation at Teladoc Health.

Teladoc Health’s Solo technology is installed in more than 15,000 care locations globally and offers deep integrations with EHR platforms such as Epic and Oracle Health using HL7 and FHIR standards.

SoloScribe is now generally available, and SoloVitals is available to select customers in private preview, with full general release expected in December 2026. For more information about Teladoc Health’s enterprise solutions for hospitals and health systems, click here.

Term Sheet Provides Up to 100 Years of Site Tenure at key Strategic U.S Defense Infrastructure Installation and Advances Development of Fully Integrated U.S. Graphite Supply Chain

GOUVERNEUR, N.Y., Oct. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Titan Mining Corporation (NYSE-A:TII, TSX:TI) (“Titan” or the “Company”), a U.S.-focused critical minerals producer and developer, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Empire State Mines, LLC (“ESM”), and the U.S. Department of the Army (“Army”) have executed a term sheet establishing the principal commercial terms for an Enhanced Use Lease (“EUL”) to develop a critical minerals processing facility on U.S. Army property.

The term sheet contemplates development of the proposed facility on approximately 97 acres of underutilized Army property at Anniston Army Depot in Alabama, providing Titan with a pathway to establish downstream graphite processing capacity within an existing strategic U.S. defense installation. Development would leverage established infrastructure, site access and coordinated utilities planning to support the fast-track construction of the facility.

Additional diligence continues at the Pine Bluff Arsenal in Arkansas and Fort Drum in New York.

Under the proposed framework, ESM would develop, finance, build, own and operate a commercial-scale graphite processing facility designed to produce value-added natural graphite products, including Purified Micronized Graphite (“PMG”) in phase I and Coated Spherical Purified Graphite (“CSPG”) following customer qualifications, supporting U.S. defense, industrial and energy supply chains.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Long-Term Strategic Framework: Initial 50-year lease term with two additional 25-year renewal options exercisable by ESM and the Army, providing the potential for up to 100 years of operating tenure, subject to the terms of the definitive EUL.
• Strategic U.S Defense Infrastructure: The proposed facility would be developed on approximately 97 acres at Anniston Army Depot, providing a long-term platform for domestic graphite processing within an existing U.S. defense installation and the opportunity to leverage established infrastructure and coordinated utility planning.
• Army Right of First Offer: The proposed framework provides the Army with a right of first offer to purchase certain uncommitted PMG and CSPG produced at the facility, subject to applicable federal procurement requirements. The right is limited to a maximum of 10% of annual facility production and does not apply to product committed under qualifying offtake, supply or project-financing arrangements.
• Commercial Framework Aligned with Domestic Production: Project consideration would consist of fair market value base rent together with applicable participation rent following commencement of commercial operations, with the Army expressing a preference for consideration to be provided through qualifying in-kind infrastructure improvements undertaken at or for the benefit of the Army.
• Project Financing Flexibility: The proposed framework is designed to accommodate project financing and provide customary protections for approved project lenders, supporting Titan’s ability to finance development of the proposed facility.
• Development Flexibility: The framework incorporates mechanisms to adjust development milestones for specified permitting, regulatory and other project circumstances outside ESM’s control.
• Advancing U.S. Graphite Independence: The proposed facility would extend Titan’s domestic graphite platform downstream into purified and coated graphite products critical to U.S. defense, advanced manufacturing and energy applications.

Rita Adiani, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented:

“Agreeing to this commercial framework with the U.S. Army is a significant milestone in Titan’s strategy to build a fully integrated American graphite supply chain. Developing within an existing Army installation provides important infrastructure and strategic advantages and creates a pathway to establish large-scale domestic graphite processing without having to develop an entirely new industrial site from the ground up.

Importantly, this is more than securing a site. The proposed framework combines long-duration site control, strategic U.S. defense infrastructure and financing flexibility with Kilbourne’s domestic natural flake graphite resource, our existing operating infrastructure and expertise in New York, and our growing customer qualification programs. Together, these elements provide a pathway to build a secure American graphite supply chain from mine through value-added purified graphite products.

With the potential for up to 100 years of site tenure, we are establishing the foundation for a long-term domestic processing platform capable of supporting U.S. defense, advanced manufacturing and energy supply chains for decades to come.”

Dr. Jeff Waksman, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment, commented:

“The ability to process critical minerals on U.S. soil is a national-defense priority required for munitions, missiles, sensors, batteries, and the platforms our Soldiers depend on. Leveraging our legal authorities and land, the U.S. Army is able to help nurture and expedite the growth of critical minerals industrial base which equips and sustains America’s Soldiers without putting any taxpayer dollars at risk.”

NEXT STEPS

The parties will now continue work toward execution of the definitive EUL and completion of the remaining project-development requirements.

Execution of the EUL remains subject to customary conditions, including agreement on the development and energy operating plans, environmental and regulatory matters, appraisal and valuation matters, project financing and Titan Board approval, as well as applicable Army and Congressional processes.

Titan continues to advance the Kilbourne Graphite Project in parallel, including its ongoing Feasibility Study, customer qualification programs and commercial development activities.

• Consideration for the tendered shares amounts to EUR 6.07 per share
• Acceptance period expected to run from 12 October 2026 through 26 October 2026

Düsseldorf, 7 October 2026. The Management Board of Cliq Digital AG (“CLIQ” or the “Company“) (ISIN DE000A35JS40), today resolved, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, on the basis of the authorization granted by the General Meeting of 21 August 2025, to make a public partial share repurchase offer for up to 447,061 shares of the Company (“CLIQ Shares“) (“Repurchase Offer“). The consideration offered under the Repurchase Offer amounts to EUR 6.07 per CLIQ Share, in accordance with the requirements of the General Meeting resolution underlying the Repurchase Offer. The Repurchase Offer thus has a total volume of up to EUR 2,713,660.27.

The acceptance period for the Repurchase Offer commences on 12 October 2026, 0:00 hours (CEST) and is expected to end, subject to an extension, on 26 October 2026 at 24:00 hours (CET). If more than 447,061 CLIQ Shares are tendered under the Repurchase Offer, acceptances will first be taken into account on a preferential basis for up to 100 CLIQ Shares tendered by any shareholder (on a pro rata basis, if applicable) and thereafter on a pro rata basis, i.e. in proportion to the shares tendered.

The Company intends to redeem the CLIQ Shares acquired by it on the basis of this Repurchase Offer for the purpose of a capital reduction without undue delay after acquisition and fulfilment of all relevant requirements.

With the Repurchase Offer, CLIQ intends to return excess liquidity to its shareholders in line with the Company’s communicated capital allocation policy. The net cash position available in the CLIQ group exceeds the level required to conduct its operations in accordance with the current business plan.

Further details of the Repurchase Offer are set out in the Company’s offer document. The German language offer document will be published prior to the commencement of the acceptance period on the Company’s website (https://cliqdigital.com/investors/) in the section “News & Aktionärsinformationen” under the heading “Aktienrückkaufangebot 2026 II” and in the Federal Gazette (https://www.bundesanzeiger.de).
