The additional digital biomarkers will enhance the Empatica Health Monitoring Platform with new measures in categories including activity monitoring, energy expenditure, and sleep movements, and introduce key Functional Mobility Assessments such as the sit-to-stand test, gait test, timed up & go test, sway test, and stair test, which play a crucial role in assessing physical function and mobility in clinical care and research settings.
“This partnership shows a maturing digital health industry,” said Matteo Lai, Empatica’s CEO and Co-Founder. “Established players are joining forces to provide a one-stop solution to sponsors across the world. You can get the best medical technology and validated measures with a long clinical history in the same place: this means less setup time, costs and patient burden.”
“We are delighted to share the news of our partnership with Empatica,” said Martijn Niessen, CEO at McRoberts. “Combining our mobility analytics with their versatile platform and extensive array of physiological and behavioral biomarkers promises immense benefits for both our customers.”
The partnership cements the Empatica Health Monitoring Platform’s ability to be fully compatible with validated third-party algorithms. It is also the first known instance where an already established provider moves from using their proprietary wearable to a different device platform, allowing them to focus more energies on developing new endpoints. This showcases the confidence placed in Empatica’s technology, particularly in the monitoring capabilities of the EmbracePlus wearable. It also paves the path to additional partnerships, making it a true platform for other digital biomarker developers to have algorithms implemented in large-scale initiatives without needing to worry about the development of dedicated hardware and compatible software.
The McRoberts algorithms are available to all Enterprise plan users of the Empatica Health Monitoring Platform. Visit Empatica’s website to find out more, or reach out directly to Empatica at research@empatica.com.

The smarter E Europe: Bidirectional Charging Saves Billions15.1.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press Release
Electric cars equipped with bidirectional charging technology can store electricity and feed it back into the grid when needed. A new study by Transport & Environment (T&E) shows that this could save billions by optimizing the use of generation capacity, reducing curtailment, and lowering fuel consumption. Bidirectional charging (BiDi) could thus achieve a technological and economic breakthrough in Europe but it requires clear regulatory framework conditions. Without these, the potential will remain untapped. In response to these developments, Europe’s largest alliance of energy industry exhibitions, The smarter E Europe, is dedicating a special exhibit to highlight the opportunities and challenges for the mobility and energy industries. The event will take place from May 7–9, 2025, at Messe München. This press release features multimedia.

Arthur D. Little Blue Shift Report Explores Transformative Impact of AI on Research, Development, and Innovation15.1.2025 13:00:00 CET | Press Release
AI has started to power all steps of research, development, and innovation (R&D&I), including those that require creativity, working alongside and augmenting humans, with its use increasing rapidly. However, while it is already delivering major productivity gains in specific areas or sectors its widespread integration into R&D&I processes is still relatively immature, and it faces a range of challenges around technology, economics, regulation, and societal acceptability. Irrespective of these challenges, six no-regret strategic actions should be undertaken today. These are the headline findings of Eureka! on Steroids: AI-driven research, development, and innovation, a new report published today byArthur D. Little (ADL)’s Blue Shift Institute. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250115868503/en/ In this new study, Arthur D.
