Rhombus Announces Recon, the First Autonomous Physical Security Solution

Rhombus, a leader in cloud-managed physical security, today announced Rhombus Recon, an autonomous physical security solution designed to extend physical security beyond the limits of fixed cameras.

Rhombus Recon solves the problem of what is happening outside the view of existing cameras. With Rhombus Recon, companies can autonomously or manually dispatch a robot to do a closer investigation or patrol of a particular event. Additional situational awareness is provided by the broader Rhombus platform of AI Cameras, Sensors, Access Control, and Alarm Monitoring which together, is the first solution of its kind.

Harnessing the power of advanced AI, Recon takes patrolling and investigations to new levels by allowing customers to take specific actions based on what it sees. For example, Recon can be dispatched to check how well stocked the shelves of a store are, or whether a bathroom is clean, or even if there is a potential intruder coming in the back door. When paired with Rhombus Insights, Recon can provide operational data across all aspects of an organization.

“With Rhombus Recon, we aim to give every organization the equivalent of an extra person that is available 24/7 to be an extra set of eyes and ears.” says Brandon Salzberg, CTO at Rhombus. “Leveraging AI and LLM’s, these robots can complete complex assignments, and we view them becoming an essential part of the operations of most companies.”

Examples of how Rhombus Recon can support operations include:
Proactive incident response
If a Rhombus camera detects a potential intruder, the system can dispatch a robot to investigate the area. The robot can approach the scene, stream live video to operators through the Rhombus Console, and trigger automated deterrents or escalation workflows through Rhombus Alarm Monitoring.

Automated inspections
Facilities teams can program a robot to follow scheduled routes through warehouses, manufacturing environments, or campuses. During patrols, the system can collect video evidence, perform safety checks, and generate alerts when anomalies are detected.

Mobile gap coverage
Large outdoor environments such as construction sites, logistics yards, and storage facilities often contain areas where installing fixed cameras is difficult or cost-prohibitive. Recon enables mobile patrols that continuously monitor these areas and stream footage back to the Rhombus platform, transforming previously unmonitored spaces into actively
monitored security zones.

How Rhombus Recon Extends Physical Security
• Mobile situational awareness – Uses data from Rhombus cameras, sensors, and access control systems to understand and navigate environments.
• AI-powered analysis – Applies advanced AI to detect threats, safety risks, or operational anomalies.
• Autonomous or on-demand dispatch – Robots can be triggered automatically by events or deployed manually by operators.
• Fleet management – Security teams can monitor and control multiple robots across locations through the Rhombus Console.
• Integrated response workflows – Recon connects with Rhombus Alarm Monitoring to enable escalation, live verification, and coordinated response.

The platform is designed to work with robotics manufacturers including Boston Dynamics, Unitree, and others allowing organizations to deploy autonomous security across a range of robotic form factors.

As organizations face increasing security demands and ongoing labor shortages, autonomous solutions like Rhombus Recon can help augment security teams by performing patrols, inspections, and investigations across large or complex environments.

Availability
Rhombus will demonstrate an early version of Rhombus Recon at ISC West in Las Vegas from March 23–27 (booth #L18). Organizations interested in learning more about autonomous mobile security or joining the early access program can visit

Hidden Hearing Introduces Oticon Zeal

Groundbreaking new hearing device delivers exceptional sound quality, always-on AI sound processing and full modern connectivity, with a virtually unseen design

It addresses the overlooked consequences of hearing loss in the workplace and beyond

Hidden Hearing, Ireland’s leading provider of hearing healthcare, has announced the arrival of a breakthrough in hearing technology with the launch of Oticon Zeal. This next-generation hearing device combines exceptional sound quality, always-on AI sound processing and full modern connectivity in a remarkably discreet form.

Not everyone sees themselves in traditional hearing aids and with that in mind Oticon designed something different, discreet, elegant and effortless.It looks and feels more like the earbuds that many people already wear. It’s an exceptional hearing aid without the compromise or stigma of conventional designs.

With Zeal, seeing is believing. It’s the hearing aid for people who never thought they’d wear one. It delivers intelligent, high-performance hearing with seamless connectivity to today’s digital world, while remaining virtually invisible in use.

For many people, particularly those in fast-paced and demanding roles, hearing loss becomes a silent challenge. Missed information in meetings, increased listening effort and end-of-day fatigue can all affect performance long before someone realises hearing is the root cause. Despite this, most people delay seeking help for seven to ten years, often due to concerns about visibility, stigma and the belief that they must compromise on either discretion or performance.

“We regularly meet people who are coping rather than thriving at work,” said Dolores Madden, Marketing Director for Hidden Hearing. “They are working harder just to keep up, without realising how much untreated hearing loss is impacting their focus, confidence and energy. By launching this premium product in our clinics, we’re offering a solution that supports people in their working and social lives without drawing attention or requiring compromise.”

In the modern workplace, clear communication is critical. Untreated hearing loss can quietly undermine productivity, collaboration and confidence, particularly in meetings, open-plan offices and hybrid working environments. Supporting clearer hearing can reduce mental strain and help people stay engaged, effective and confident throughout the day.

“I see patients with hearing loss that is often left untreated due to perceived stigma around it,” said Dr Clodagh Gallagher, Medical Advisor for Hidden Hearing. “They also experience mental fatigue, frustration and a drop in confidence at work as a result. When you have clear hearing, it supports better decision-making, stronger communication and overall performance.”

This new innovation addresses the often unseen impact of untreated hearing loss on people’s professional performance, confidence and everyday wellbeing.

A significant barrier to early treatment is the belief that people must choose between discretion and performance. Many delay addressing hearing loss because they don’t want a visible device to define them professionally or socially.

Stigma remains one of the most powerful reasons people put off seeking help. Hearing loss affects people of all ages, yet outdated perceptions continue to hold many back.

“One of the most damaging myths around hearing loss is that it’s something to hide or ignore,” added Dr Gallagher. “The longer people wait, the more impact it can have on their personal and professional lives. Discreet, modern solutions like this help remove that stigma and encourage people to take action earlier.”

Oticon Zeal is designed to fit effortlessly into everyday life, offering a personalised hearing solution for people who want to stay active, social and fully engaged. Whether in quiet moments, busy social settings, at work, enjoying sport or listening to music, it adapts naturally to different environments while maintaining exceptional sound quality and connectivity.

With state-of-the-art innovations like Oticon Zeal now available in Hidden Hearing clinics nationwide, the organisation continues its commitment to helping people hear clearly, perform confidently and stay fully connected to their work and lives without

Finnish innovation stops scam calls – Rest of Europe is following

Scam calls cause up to €850 million in losses worldwide every year, but in Finland, this tool used by criminals has been practically defeated. At the end of November, the action Finland has taken to reduce scam calls will be competing for the European Crime Prevention Award, and Europol is highlighting it as a model case.

Elisa was the world’s first operator to develop a technical method to identify and block caller ID spoofing. As a result, criminals have no longer been able to use Finnish phone numbers in their scams. In 2023, the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom) mandated that a scam call blocking solution based on Elisa’s innovation be implemented nationwide in Finland. Since then, a type of scam known as a “technical support scam” coming from abroad has been virtually eliminated in Finland. Elisa alone has blocked nearly 26 million scam calls since 2021. Elisa’s solution was granted a patent in Finland in 2023, and in November 2025, it was also patented in Europe.

“Our employees developed the solution themselves, and we deployed it in our network back in 2021. This solution has allowed us to eliminate the majority of scam calls received by our customers. Criminals’ profits in Finland have dropped from €7 million a year to just a few thousand, meaning Elisa’s actions have already made Finland an unprofitable target for criminals. In 2023, other operators also adopted the solution following Traficom’s decision”, says Karri Jäkkö, Director of Elisa’s Cybersecurity and Service Management Center.

Now this scam call blocking solution has been nominated for the prestigious European Crime Prevention Award. The prize will be awarded on 28 November as part of the EUCPN Best Practice Conference. At the end of September, Elisa and Traficom’s efforts to reduce scam calls also won Rikoksentorjuntakilpailu, a crime prevention competition held in Finland.

From the Finnish model to an international example
Caller ID spoofing remains a tool for criminals elsewhere in Europe: Scam calls are a significant problem, causing an estimated €850 million in losses worldwide annually, according to Europol.

In October, Europol published a report calling for action at EU level: unified technical standards, closer cross-border cooperation, and harmonised regulation to prevent scam calls and hold criminals accountable. The Finnish model is mentioned as a good example. Foreign operators are also actively seeking ways to block scam calls and are interested in the success of the measures adopted in Finland.

“Finland has succeeded in creating a model that effectively protects consumers and prevents criminals from making scam calls from disguised numbers. It’s great to see that this is also attracting international interest. Preventing scams is an arms race between us and the criminals, so we are constantly developing new solutions as well”, says Jäkkö.

In addition to blocking scam calls, Elisa has developed a solution to block calls from unknown foreign numbers. Scam text messages can also be tackled with a solution jointly developed by Traficom and operators.

Elisa’s actions to reduce scams in Finland

  • 2020 – Prevention of “wangiri” scam calls:
    Elisa can identify and block commonly known wangiri numbers (a scam involving missed calls to prompt a costly callback) as well as potential new numbers and prevent the number from being displayed, so the victim cannot call the attacker’s line back.
  • 2021 – Elisa develops solution to block number spoofing:
    Elisa creates a solution that blocks number spoofing, i.e. falsifying Finnish phone numbers and using them in scam calls.
  • 2023 – Nationwide implementation of the number spoofing blocking solution:
    The solution for blocking number spoofing is adopted nationwide by order of Traficom.
  • 2024 – Tackling scam text messages:
    If an organisation has registered their sender name with Traficom, Elisa can block scam messages claiming to be sent by that organisation. For example, the Finnish Tax Administration is one of those who have registered their sender ID, so scam messages claiming to be from the tax authorities will not get delivered.
  • May 2025 – Basic security features for consumer mobile subscriptions:
    Elisa introduces default basic features for consumer mobile subscriptions that protect people using the internet on their mobile phone. These include a secure authentication service (mobile certificate), malicious website blocking and monitoring for data breaches.
  • July 2025 – Ability to block calls from abroad entirely:
    Elisa adds the possibility to completely block incoming calls from abroad using its patented solution.

Irish Femtech innovator Joii Launches AI-powered Menstrual Monitoring Solution

Joii, a trailblazing Irish femtech startup which has raised €2.4m in funding to date, has today launched its groundbreaking app and innovative range of sustainable period care products, aiming to transform the way menstrual health is understood, monitored, and discussed in Ireland and beyond.

A world-first, Joii’s menstrual pad and mobile app measure period blood volume and clot sizes, offering users unprecedented insights into menstrual health through AI-powered image analysis. Backed by clinical research and real-world validation, Joii offers a data-driven way to monitor menstrual health, finally giving people with periods the tools to see what’s really going on.

While wearables track steps, sleep, and heart rate, Joii is pioneering a long-overdue frontier in female health, providing data-driven insights into the menstrual cycle and female health. By combining specially designed evaluation pads with a mobile app, users can scan used pads to receive a quantified evaluation of their period flow and clotting patterns. These data points are clinically relevant but often overlooked.

“For too long, women have been told to just ‘track their period’ without any real tools to measure what’s actually happening. With Joii, we’re changing that,” said Joii Founder, Justyna Strzeszynska. “We’re helping people see their periods clearly, for the first time.”

Joii is focused on setting a new standard for menstrual health and, by extension, women’s health issues in general. Heavy menstrual bleeding affects 1 in 3 women, yet diagnosis and treatment are frequently delayed due to vague language like “heavy” or “normal”, without any tangible or qualifying details. Joii introduces objective data to the conversation, empowering users with measurable, visual, and shareable insights that can accelerate diagnosis and care.

Joii’s technology is Class I Medical Device–Certified in the UK and protected under multiple patents. The company is now partnering with leading institutions to develop predictive models for menstrual conditions, such as endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), transforming menstrual blood into a powerful diagnostic tool.

Supported by clinical research and validated through real-world studies funded by the NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research), Joii products show remarkable results. 62% of users reported improved communication with their healthcare professionals, symptom screening efficacy increased by 288%, and menstrual health literacy rose by 134%, demonstrating the app’s positive impact on menstrual health awareness and management.*

This technology is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing heavy bleeding, those on long diagnostic journeys, such as endometriosis, which currently can take up to 10 years, as well as those seeking a better understanding and control over their menstrual health. Joii empowers users to advocate for themselves and also provides healthcare professionals with objective data that can improve diagnosis and treatment.

What the Experts Say:

Dr Fatema Mustansir Dawoodbhoy (NHS), Clinical Advisor to Joii, said, “This app will definitely offer me better insights into how the patient is feeling as I will be able to understand their symptoms variation throughout the month.” Meanwhile, Dr Kushal Chummun, Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in the Rotunda and Connolly Hospital, agrees – “I think the app is really, really good”, underpinning the clinical confidence in Joii’s innovation.

How It Works:

  1. Wear Joii Pads – Designed for optimal visibility and comfort.

  2. Scan with the Joii App – Use the Joii App to analyse the pad.

  3. Get Insights – Instantly receive volume in millilitres, clot detection, and cycle trends.

 

Joii’s AI-enabled app is free to download on iOS and Android devices, and Joii Evaluation Pads RRP €6.95 are available now from selected health stores and pharmacies nationwide as well as online from www.joiicare.com.

“Wholefoods is proud to support Joii Care and their groundbreaking approach to menstrual health,” said Ronan O’Flynn, Sales Manager at Wholefoods Wholesale Ireland. “By combining smart technology with a clinically tested menstrual pad, Joii empowers users to measure their period volume and better understand their symptoms – a world-first solution that supports more informed self-care and stronger communication between patients and clinicians.”
