Carnegie Mellon Team Awarded ARPA-H Contract to Transform Care During Labor and Childbirth24.6.2026 14:05:00 EEST | Press release
Carnegie Mellon University is leading a multi-university team that has secured an award of up to $39.3 million from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) to develop a wearable monitoring system to better identify fetal distress and its cause, enabling a safer labor and delivery experience for mothers and babies. The system, called OMEGA, or Optical, Mechanical, and Electrical Global Assessment of fetal hypoxia, aims to replace 50-year old, indirect, unreliable fetal heart rate monitoring technology with a unified, real-time assessment of fetal oxygen delivery and adaptive capacity. The project is under ARPA-H’s Making Obstetric Care Smart program, which is led by ARPA-H Program Manager Kate Arnold, M.D., MBA. This press release features multimedia.

€243B Tech Spend Ahead, but Only 1 in 4 Firms Achieves Scale: WBAM Research Reveals Structural Paradox24.6.2026 13:28:00 EEST | Press release

This paradox emerges as WBAM firms face record-high levels of structural complexity, driven by a perfect storm of rising client expectations, accelerating regulation and ongoing cross-border fragmentation. These forces are placing an unprecedented strain on operating models that were not designed to withstand such a high level of change. The findings highlight a structural paradox: firms have responded to rising complexity by layering additional resources onto existing operating models. This dynamic is
