Corify Care announces AI collaboration with Mayo Clinic to improve cardiac arrhythmia care
MADRID, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Corify Care, an AI-driven medical technology company specializing in global cardiac mapping and real-time precision guidance for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, announced today it has entered into a know-how agreement with Mayo Clinic. Nearly 60 million people worldwide are affected by atrial fibrillation, yet treatment outcomes for complex cases remain ineffective. More than 50 percent of ablation procedures for complex arrhythmia fail, in many cases because clinicians are unable to target the necessary region of the heart. Corify's global mapping technology now allows clinicians to pinpoint the source of an atrial fibrillation case, creating an accurate roadmap for completing a targeted ablation. As part of the collaboration, select Mayo Clinic physicians will help Corify refine its current model and make recommendations on improvements relating to useability and clinical flow. "This collaboration focuses on advancing AI-powered technology for real-time cardiac mapping and enhanced procedural guidance in arrhythmia treatment,'' said Andreu Climent, CEO of Corify Care. Corify Care's proprietary technology offers a global and efficient solution to detect, map, and manage complex cardiac arrhythmias with unprecedented speed and accuracy. Unlike traditional invasive diagnostic methods, Corify Care's system creates detailed three-dimensional maps of the heart's electrical activity — offering a faster approach to arrhythmia diagnosis and management. Ultimately this technology aims to provide more effective treatment and a reduced risk of recurrence, saving and improving more patients' lives. Recent clinical research confirmed that Corify's imageless ECGI system enables noninvasive, real-time cardiac mapping without the need for CT or MRI and can be applied across a wide range of procedures including atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and cardiac resynchronization therapy. Corify has earned recognition across Europe for its clinical impact, winning several prestigious awards and receiving support from the European Innovation Institute of Technology. It is pursuing FDA approval after securing CE Mark certification in 2024 under the European Union's Medical Device Regulation. Since its launch, the technology has been successfully used in around 2,000 cases, with adoption continuing to grow.

Mayo Clinic will use any revenue it receives to support its not-for-profit mission in patient care, education and research Contact: Alex Jackson (shark&minnow) aj@ (216) 245-3477 View original content to download multimedia: SOURCE Corify Care

Heroes Tournament raises money for the Greater Peoria Honor Flight
GERMANTOWN HILLS, Ill. (WMBD) — A 101-year-old World War II veteran threw out the first pitch at a local baseball fundraiser tournament. The inaugural Heroes Tournament brought eight local youth baseball teams together to raise money for the Greater Peoria Honor Flight. The three-day tournament is being held at MTCO Park in Germantown Hills and was the idea of Alex Jackson. Jackson is the head coach for the Germantown Hills Warbirds and is a veteran himself. He said it's all about showing appreciation for those who've served. 'Just to know that they're appreciated. That's the only word I'd use, is just know that they're appreciated for what they did, or if they're active duty now, what they're doing,' he said. He's hoping to raise more than $5,000. All the proceeds will be donated to the Greater Peoria Honor Flight. The next Honor Flight will be held on Tuesday, May 6. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

French food is enjoying a renaissance – and these three recipes are culinary bliss
When chef Alex Jackson opened his restaurant, Sardine, in London in 2016 I booked a table immediately. I liked the cute name, but my main thought was 'France is back!' Sardine was a love letter to Provençal food and I felt Jackson's passion every time I ate there. Many food lovers and chefs were seduced by France at a formative time in their lives. For me it was an exchange trip at 15 (my first time abroad) and a year working as an au pair in Bordeaux. Fast-forward 25 years and French food – as represented in restaurants, at least – wasn't getting much attention. The River Cafe in London (opened in 1987) put Italy on the map in huge bold letters. Even though most people couldn't afford to eat there it had a huge influence; young chefs who passed through the kitchen set up their own restaurants. The food was easier to make than French food. You could cook pasta – inexpensive and simple – instead of reducing litres of veal stock. Eventually it was possible to find sandwiches of roast Mediterranean vegetables in most British train stations. Then Middle Eastern food – light, pretty, full of vegetables – took hold. Both cuisines are healthy (olive oil instead of butter and cream). At the same time France was having a crisis. Dishes were stuck in the past. It seemed immune to outside influences and arrogant about its position in the culinary firmament. It could no longer reign supreme over other complex cuisines, such as Mexican, Chinese and Indian. Now, gradually, France has crept back. Chefs Henry Harris and Rowley Leigh (decades-long stars in the restaurant world), for example, started cooking French food again. Leigh took over a place (I can still taste the poulet Antiboise) in Notting Hill and Harris (previously in a classy restaurant in Knightsbridge) opened a French restaurant above a pub in East London. Francophiles rushed to Bouchon Racine, feeling suffused with happiness before they'd had a single bite. Reading the blackboard menu – pork terrine, rabbit with mustard, crème caramel – was enough. It became almost impossible to get a table but there was a lull before others opened. Now it's a fast-flowing stream. I came out of hospital after a serious illness last year and went straight to Camille, a new French restaurant in Borough Market. It felt as if it had been there for ever. Regional French dishes, many of which I'm not familiar with, are its foundation. I talked to Alex Jackson about why he fell in love so intensely with French cooking. We were both changed by living there, he in Paris, me in Bordeaux. 'Food is important there and yet it isn't,' he says. 'It's a given that food is an important part of life but that doesn't mean making a big fuss or cooking complicated dishes. And they give proper time to eating.' Weekend lunch at someone's home in France will be several courses including cheese and a green salad (neither of which require cooking). The main might be a good roast chicken and there'd be something as simple as salami and crisp radishes to start. It's hard to explain the sense of wellbeing and ease I felt eating this kind of food on that first trip when I was 15. Lindsey Tramuta, journalist and author of The Eater Guide to Paris (out on 8 May), thinks the resurgence of French food is partly cyclical – different cuisines go in and out of fashion – but it's also the hold France has over many of us. 'The country remains incredibly seductive,' she says. 'And every generation seems to discover its soft power. This highlights how large France looms in our collective imagination whether we're intimately aware of it or not.' French food has an easy deliciousness – butter and cream – and is familiar, a good feeling when so much else is shifting. This menu is three courses of bliss.
