Railways to use AI-enabled Distributed Acoustic Sensing to prevent elephants being hit by trains
NEW DELHI: Indian Railways is now employing an Artificial Intelligence-enabled Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) system to prevent and detect the intrusion of wildlife, particularly elephants, onto railway tracks in various regions. The system simultaneously alerts loco pilots, station masters, and the control room about the movement of elephants on or near the tracks, enabling preventive action to avoid collisions. Currently, according to an official source from the Ministry of Railways, the DAS is being deployed over 141 route kilometres at critical and vulnerable locations identified by the forest department under the Northeast Frontier Railway. It is being used as an effective intrusion detection system for elephant protection. As a result of this AI-enabled DAS technology, the Ministry claimed on Thursday that elephant deaths caused by collisions with trains have decreased from 26 in 2013 to just 12 in 2024, registering a reduction of more than 50%.

NanoVibronix Announces Results from UroShield™ Case Series
TYLER, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NanoVibronix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAOV) (the 'Company'), a medical technology company specializing in therapeutic devices, today announced findings from a recent retrospective case series evaluating the clinical impact and patient experience of the UroShield™ system. The case series, conducted between September 2023 and January 2025 by researchers at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS, assessed a small group of patients who used the UroShield device for durations ranging from 12 weeks to 17 months. The series reviewed pre- and post-treatment data on catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), catheter blockages, unplanned hospital visits and patient satisfaction. Key Outcomes of the Case Series Included: a 94% average reduction in CAUTIs and catheter blockages; a 92% decrease in unplanned hospital visits; extended intervals between catheter changes, improving patient comfort and quality of life; high patient compliance and satisfaction; and only one patient discontinued due to worsening of pre-existing bladder symptoms. Importantly, these outcomes reinforce the results from previous studies, including those by Markowitz et al. (2018) 1 and Da Silva, Ibbotson, and O'Neil (2021) 2, which demonstrated the effectiveness of UroShield in reducing infection risk, improving catheter management, and enhancing overall patient outcomes. 'We believe that this case series reinforces the growing body of clinical evidence supporting UroShield as an effective solution for minimizing catheter-associated risks, improving patient care and the quality of life for patients living with long-term catheterization while reducing healthcare burden,' said Brian Murphy, CEO of NanoVibronix, Inc. 'The results of this series are another strong affirmation of the device's value for both patient care and healthcare cost reduction.' UroShield utilizes proprietary Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology to prevent bacterial colonization and biofilm formation on indwelling urinary catheters, a critical advancement in reducing complications such as CAUTIs. The case series will be presented on May 19, 2025, at the Association for Continence Professionals annual conference, ACP 2025. For additional information about the conference, please visit About NanoVibronix, Inc. NanoVibronix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAOV) is a medical device company headquartered in Tyler, Texas, with research and development in Nesher, Israel, focused on developing medical devices utilizing its patented low intensity surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology.
