Over 400,000 Patients Experience Early Intervention Dentistry as vVARDIS and VideaHealth Use AI-Enabled and Non-Invasive Dentistry
BOSTON, August 05, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VideaHealth, the leader in AI-powered dental solutions, and vVARDIS, the high-growth oral care company driving a transformation to non-invasive dentistry, are expanding their impact on patient outcomes by focusing AI and non-invasive treatments to elevate the standard of care for caries management. Since launching their commercial collaboration, VideaAI has helped clinicians identify incipient caries, which reflect early-stage decay, and over 400,000 of those patients were treated with Curodont™ Repair Fluoride Plus, a drill-free, same day treatment, helping to preserve natural tooth structure and avoiding an invasive treatment. This is a promising sign that early intervention with a medical approach for caries is gaining traction across the industry.
Built on a shared vision of advancing minimally invasive care, the collaboration integrates the VideaAI platform and vVARDIS' Curodont™ into the same workflow — a non-invasive biomimetic treatment backed by numerous scientific publications, including peer reviewed and meta-analysis studies. These tools allow practices to identify early caries with AI precision, educate patients through visualizations, and deliver treatment in the same appointment without a drill or anesthesia.
Since deploying VideaAI and Curodont™, practices have reported measurable impacts across key performance and care metrics such as increased patient adoption of treatment of early caries lesions.
"We founded VideaHealth to bring clinical clarity and consistency to every dental visit. This partnership demonstrates what's possible when AI is used to strengthen and not replace clinical decision-making," said Florian Hillen, CEO of VideaHealth. "In our collaboration with vVARDIS, we're helping to create a world where early detection and drill-free treatment are the standards rather than the exception."
VideaHealth and vVARDIS are also working to close the gap between oral health and whole body wellness. It is widely recognized that poor oral health can impact overall health, and if left untreated, tooth decay can lead to additional health impacts. By leveraging AI to detect and treat early caries, personalize care, and improve transparency, the collaboration aims to build greater trust across the healthcare ecosystem and advance a more streamlined approach to patient health.
"We created vVARDIS to bring science, trust, and access back to dentistry," said Dr. Haley and Dr. Goly Abivardi, DMDs, co-founders and co-CEOs of vVARDIS. "The momentum we've seen with VideaHealth confirms what we've always believed; when patients clearly understand their diagnosis, and clinicians are empowered with the right tools, better care can occur. With Curodont™ demonstrating a 90%+ success rate* in treating early caries, it is improving both how and when care is delivered."
"This makes it easier to do the right thing faster. We've seen consistent growth in both prevention and production, and most importantly, our clinicians and families trust the process," said Evelyn Lahiji, COO of Children's Dental FunZone. "Curodont™ provides our clinicians with a minimally invasive solution they believe in, and VideaAI helps them pinpoint exactly where it's needed."
VideaHealth and vVARDIS remain committed to increasing access, reducing invasiveness, and elevating patient trust. VideaAI is now used by over 50,000 clinicians and is growing, with an eye on transforming dental care into a trusted frontline of public health.

Who Are Those Fantastic SuperAgers And Why Do They Stay Healthy?
Everyone wants to stay fully independent as we age. A few people over age 80 do and they don't suffer from memory loss either. They are called 'super agers' because they do not suffer the same mental and physical declines as almost everyone else. They've been studied by researchers for decades. We do have some answers to what makes them different from everyone else. Maybe we all wish we could be super agers ourselves. What Is A Super Ager? The term describes someone over 80 with an exceptional memory — one at least as good as the memories of people who are 20 to 30 years younger. They don't get Alzheimer's disease. They think clearly and participate in many things most folks their age cannot do. As reported in AARP, those who seem to defy normal changes of aging have a few things in common. Here are some of these, also reflected in research from other reports in other places in the U.S. 1. Thicker brains We don't know if it's a hereditary thing or not but with this rare group, the part of the brain which impacts thinking, memory and decision-making is thicker in super agers — sometimes thicker even than it is in most people in their 50s and 60s. It resists shrinking. 2. Supersize memory cells in their brains. These larger than average sized particular nerve cells resist the protein deposits associated with cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. The protein plaques and tangles may be present in the brains of those super agers, seen from those who donated their brains to studies after they pass, but they do not seem to cause damage. 3. More 'social intelligence' brain cells These particular kinds of brain cell cells have been linked to social intelligence and awareness. They help facilitate rapid communication across the brain, providing an enhanced ability to navigate the outside impacts thinking, memory and decision-making. As I see it, that would suggest greater levels of independence in aging, an elusive thing most want but few over 80 actually achieve. What If You Aren't Born With That Kind Of Brain? There is plenty of research on preventing dementia to tell us that lifestyle is perhaps the most important feature of aging well, whether you are destined to be a super ager or not. Most of the super agers are very active and maintain healthy habits. One of my favorite examples is the late Dr. Ruth Westheimer, the famous sex therapist. She was a TV personality, author of numerous books and, as she used to say, a nonstop talker. Her belief was that talking exercises the brain. OK, we know some nonstop talkers who are definitely not exercising their brains so that's not all there is to keeping one's brain active. But being silent and withdrawn is certainly not helpful lifestyle clearly includes regular exercise, even walking. It doesn't take running marathons. And food choices are part of this, of course as well. Data more recently shows a link between consuming ultra processed foods (sweets, packaged snacks, etc.) and cognitive decline. The better choices, as we are often told, include fish, vegetables, fruits and whole grains, avoiding junk food and excess. Other resources emphasize the importance of social connections in aging to help ward off dementia, getting enough sleep, and managing stress. Easier said than done! And one thing the super agers who have been studied also have in common is the unwavering willingness or ability to constantly challenge themselves. The Takeaway Not everyone will have a super ager's remarkably different kind of brain structure. But everyone can see their good health habits and aim for doing what they do. They stay active in many ways, socially engaged, and everyone can make that an achievable goal.

Huntington Beach Police Department set to launch drone program
The Huntington Beach Police Department says it's improving response time and public safety with its new drone program, set to go live on September 13. The program comes with an annual $120,000 budget, and so far, the department has three drones placed on rooftops, ready to launch at various locations throughout the city. Huntington Beach Police Chief Eric Parra said it's disaster preparedness, helping to locate lost seniors and children, "It's off the charts in terms of how much better public safety becomes because of this," he said. Drone-trained detectives pilot the unmanned aerial vehicles from the police station, allowing for a two-minute response time. At a Tuesday program demonstration, HBPD showed a video of how a drone assisted in detecting a vehicle burglary suspect in an outdoor parking lot. Police said other agencies that have adopted Drone First Responder Programs have reported that drones handled between 20 and 25% of their patrol calls. "The officers that are responding will be able to know what they're going into," Huntington Beach PD Lt. Chris Nesmith said. "They'll know what the suspect is doing while officers are on the way. They can gauge their response and their tactics on the way to the call instead of getting to the call and deciding what they'll be facing when they get there." Nesmith added that the drone program will keep officers safer and allow the department to maximize its manpower. The department assured residents that officers will not use the drones to spy on people's backyards.

United Launch Alliance's new Vulcan rocket blasts off on first Space Force-sanctioned flight
United Launch Alliance fired off its first operational Vulcan rocket Tuesday, boosting two military satellites into space in the first U.S. Space Force-sanctioned flight of a new launcher that eventually will replace the company's Atlas 5 and already-retired Deltas. Equipped with four solid-fuel strap-on boosters for additional takeoff power, the 198-foot-tall Vulcan's two methane-fueled BE-4 engines thundered to life at 8:56 p.m. EDT, instantly propelling the rocket away from pad 41 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Arcing over the Atlantic Ocean on an easterly trajectory, the Vulcan put on a spectacular sky-lighting show as it roared aloft atop nearly 3 million pounds of thrust and a jet of brilliant exhaust visible for miles around. The four strap-on boosters were jettisoned about 90 seconds after liftoff, followed three-and-a-half minutes later by burnout and separation of the Vulcan's 109-foot-tall first stage. The Centaur second stage's two hydrogen-fueled Aerojet Rocketdyne RL10C engines ignited and took over from there, but in keeping with standard policy for military missions, ULA ended its launch commentary at that point and the rest of the flight was carried out in secrecy. At least two satellites were believed to be on board: one fully classified spacecraft and an experimental satellite that will carry out tests of upgraded atomic clocks and navigation technology that could lead to more accurate, jam-proof Global Positioning System-type data for military and commercial users. Both satellites were bound for geosynchronous orbit 22,300 miles above the equator, where spacecraft take 24 hours to complete one orbit, thus appearing stationary in the sky. GPS satellites operate in 12,500-mile-high orbits, but Navigation Technology Satellite 3, or NTS-3, will operate from its much higher perch using an advanced phased array antenna that can electronically direct signals to receivers in multiple locations across broad regions. It is the Pentagon's first experimental navigation satellite since GPS precursors were launched in the 1970s. Along with the NTS-3 satellite, designed and built by L3Harris Technologies, the program includes a ground-based control system and receivers linked by software that enable rapid reprogramming as needed for upgrades or to utilize different signals. "GPS is such an integral part of our lives today," said Joanna Hinks, a senior aerospace engineer with the Air Force Research Laboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. "You probably all use it in ways that you didn't even realize throughout your morning. "And with NTS-3, we are going to be experimenting with a number of different technologies that look at how we can continue to evolve and augment GPS to make sure that it remains the gold standard that our warfighters need." While the major goal of the flight is launching the USSF-106 payloads, the launch marked a major milestone for United Launch Alliance. It was the third launch of the powerful new Vulcan after two test flights last year and the first to be "certified" by the Space Force to carry costly national security spy satellites and other expensive military spacecraft. "This mission is headed directly to geosynchronous orbit and will be one of our longest missions to date," said Gary Wentz, ULA vice president of government and commercial programs. "This is the sole purpose of this vehicle. It was purposely designed to support these missions doing direct inject to geo for the Space Force." The Vulcan is replacing ULA's already-retired Delta family of rockets and the venerable Atlas 5, which is powered by a Russian-built RD-180 first stage engine. Criticism of ULA's use of Russian engines for launches of American military satellites and NASA spacecraft helped fuel congressional pressure for a new all-American launcher. Thirteen Atlas 5's are left in ULA's inventory, all of them slated for civilian launches as ULA, a partnership of Boeing and Lockheed Martin, transitions to an all-Vulcan fleet. In the meantime, SpaceX dominates the world launch market with its partially reusable and highly successful kerosene-fueled Falcon 9 and triple-core Falcon Heavy rockets. So far this year, SpaceX has launched 97 Falcon 9s. But ULA President and CEO Tory Bruno said the Vulcan's first stage, using high-performance BE-4 engines provided by Blue Origin — owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos — and its high-power Centaur upper stage make the rocket particularly well suited for launching heavy military payloads into hard-to-reach orbits. "It is specifically designed for these exotic orbits that are primarily for the government," he said. "And this particular mission is the quintessential example. It is a direct injection to geosynchronous orbit. That means that it is a very, very long-duration mission." He said the first stage is, in effect, delivering the Centaur to space with a full load of propellant "to go from LEO (low-Earth orbit) to somewhere else, like all the way to the geo belt, which is 20 times higher up. And what that translates to in capability (is) certainly more mass and more accuracy than is easily done by others." While he didn't mention SpaceX or its Falcon Heavy by name, or ULA's retired Delta 4 Heavy, Bruno said "if you're a typical three-core heavy launch vehicle and ... really derived from a vehicle optimized for that LEO mission, you're going to have to have three cores to get out there, and you're going to have to expend all of them. "And here's the really complicated rocket science. You know, one core is cheaper and more efficient than three expendable cores. It's literally that simple." That, coupled with the high-energy Centaur upper stage, gives ULA the capability to launch heavy payloads directly to high orbits without requiring satellites to use their own thrusters — and limited propellant — in transit. ULA is expanding its ground infrastructure and expects to launch nine flights in 2025, reaching a cadence of two per month by the end of the year. The company expects to launch between 20 and 25 flights in 2026.
