IRHYTHM INVESTIGATION CONTINUED by Former Louisiana Attorney General: Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC Continues to Investigate the Officers and Directors of iRhythm Technologies, Inc.
On May 30, 2023, the Company disclosed the receipt of a Warning Letter from the FDA regarding 'non-conformities to regulations for medical devices, including medical device reporting requirements, relating to the Company's Zio AT System and medical device quality system requirements,' specifically addressing a series of deficiencies tied to the marketing and capabilities of the Zio AT device that potentially posed a known but undisclosed risk to patients, for example transmission limits of arrhythmia or heart irregularity events.
Thereafter, the Company and certain of its executives were sued in a securities class action lawsuit, charging them with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws. Recently, the court denied the Company's motion to dismiss the case in part, allowing the case to continue.
KSF's investigation is focusing on whether iRhythm's officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to its shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.

The Role of AI in Personalizing the Customer Journey
Personalization is no longer just a buzzword—it's a critical component of a successful customer experience strategy. As competition intensifies and consumer expectations rise, businesses must deliver hyper-personalized experiences to stand out. This is where Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a transformative role. AI is revolutionizing how brands understand, interact with, and serve their customers throughout the buyer journey. From awareness to post-purchase, AI enables businesses to tailor interactions at scale, in real-time. Modern consumers expect brands to know who they are, what they want, and when they want it. According to McKinsey & Company, companies that excel at personalization generate 40% more revenue from those activities than average players. Additionally, 71% of consumers expect companies to deliver personalized interactions, and 76% get frustrated when this doesn't happen. In other words, personalization isn't a luxury—it's an expectation. AI-powered personalization refers to using machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and predictive analytics to tailor customer experiences across various channels and touchpoints. It leverages real-time and historical data to make, like courier package delivery systems, intelligent decisions about what content, product, or message to serve each user. Unlike traditional rule-based personalization, AI systems learn and adapt continuously. They identify patterns and make recommendations with increasing accuracy over time. In the initial stage of the customer journey, AI helps brands deliver the right message to the right audience. AI in programmatic advertising allows for real-time bidding and targeting based on behavioral data. AI-powered tools like Meta's Advantage+ and Google Ads' Smart Bidding automatically optimize ad performance. Predictive algorithms analyze customer segments and choose the best creative formats or messaging. Once a prospect shows interest, AI refines the experience further by delivering personalized content or product recommendations. E-commerce platforms like Amazon and Shopify use AI to suggest products based on browsing history, cart activity, and similar customer behavior. Content recommendation engines (like those used by Netflix or YouTube) keep users engaged longer by suggesting personalized media options. When customers are ready to convert, AI simplifies the process: AI chatbots provide real-time answers to pre-purchase questions, increasing conversion rates and reducing support costs. Dynamic pricing algorithms adjust prices based on demand, user behavior, and competitor pricing. Email automation platforms like Klaviyo and Mailchimp use AI to send personalized messages at optimal times. After a purchase, AI plays a critical role in retention: Predictive analytics helps identify at-risk customers and trigger proactive retention campaigns. AI suggests loyalty rewards based on customer value and behavior. Post-purchase emails, tailored with AI, recommend complementary products or services. Customer Data Platforms (CDPs): Aggregate and unify customer data from various sources Aggregate and unify customer data from various sources AI-driven CRM Systems: Salesforce Einstein, HubSpot AI, and Zoho Zia use AI integration to guide sales and marketing decisions. Salesforce Einstein, HubSpot AI, and Zoho Zia use AI integration to guide sales and marketing decisions. Recommendation Engines: Tools like Dynamic Yield, Adobe Target, and Algolia personalize content and product suggestions Tools like Dynamic Yield, Adobe Target, and Algolia personalize content and product suggestions Natural Language Processing: Powers chatbots like Drift, Intercom, and ChatGPT-based solutions to offer human-like support. While powerful, AI-driven personalization comes with challenges: Data privacy concerns: Striking a balance between personalization and respecting privacy is crucial. Transparency and compliance with GDPR and CCPA are non-negotiable. Striking a balance between personalization and respecting privacy is crucial. Transparency and compliance with GDPR and CCPA are non-negotiable. Bias in algorithms: Poorly trained models may reinforce biases, leading to inaccurate personalization. Poorly trained models may reinforce biases, leading to inaccurate personalization. Integration complexity: AI systems require clean, structured data and often need integration with legacy systems. Amazon: Amazon uses AI extensively to personalize product recommendations, which account for 35% of total sales. Their recommendation system is based on collaborative filtering, deep learning, and clickstream analysis. Spotify: Spotify's AI tailors playlists like Discover Weekly and Release Radar to individual listening habits. This personalization drives user loyalty and increases listening time. Starbucks: Through its Deep Brew AI engine, Starbucks customizes offers, drink suggestions, and email content based on customer behavior and weather, location, and order history. The next wave of AI will be conversational and contextual. As technologies like Generative AI, augmented reality (AR), and edge AI advance, personalization will go beyond product suggestions and into immersive, human-like experiences. We're also likely to see more AI Employees—virtual brand representatives that engage with customers across platforms like social media, email, and websites in real-time, offering personalized assistance at scale. The role of AI in personalizing the customer journey is undeniable. It empowers brands to deliver value-driven, relevant, and seamless experiences at every stage of the funnel. As customer expectations evolve, the businesses that win will be those that invest in intelligent, AI-powered personalization systems. Personalization at scale is no longer a future goal—it's a present necessity. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Following the combination of shares, the Company's new total number of shares is 2,773,721. The new number of shares has today, 16 August 2025, been registered with the Trade Register maintained by the Finnish Patent and Registration Office, and trading in the Company's shares with the new total number of shares will commence on Monday, 18 August 2025, on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd under the new ISIN code FI4000591698. The Company's trading code DIGIGR will remain unchanged. The Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on 13 August 2025 resolved on the combination of shares and the related redemption of shares so that after the combination of shares, one (1) share in the Company corresponds to every 250 shares in the Company. In connection with the implementation of the combination of shares, the Board of Directors resolved to implement the directed share issue without consideration resolved by the Extraordinary General Meeting, in which the Company has transferred without consideration in total 636,238 of its own shares held by the Company, so that the number of shares recorded in each book-entry account holding shares in the Company is divisible by 250. The total market value of the shares transferred without consideration, based on the closing price on 15 August 2025, was approximately 11,706.78 euros. Following the directed share issue, the Company has redeemed without consideration 249 shares for each 250 shares in the Company, in accordance with the resolution of the Extraordinary General Meeting. The shares of the Company redeemed in connection with the combination of shares have been cancelled immediately. In addition, in connection with the combination of shares, a total of 205 of the Company's own shares held by the Company were cancelled in order for the number of the Company's own shares held by the Company and the total number of shares in the Company to be divisible by 250. Following the combination of shares, Digitalist Group holds 28,114 of its own shares. The purpose of the combination of shares is to improve the prerequisites for trading in the Company's shares by increasing the value of an individual share and to enhance the formation of the share price. The procedure relating to the combination of shares is described in more detail in the stock exchange release published by Digitalist Group on 13 August 2025 concerning the resolutions of the Extraordinary General Meeting.
