A Look at How Healthcare Technology Is Improving Wildlife Conservation
Geoff Martha, Medtronic CEO, and his wife recently visited the Wildlife Science Center to see how Medtronic healthcare technology is helping improve wildlife conservation. Read Geoff's post on LinkedIn: Recently, my wife and I had the chance to visit the Wildlife Science Center in Minnesota and see something truly special. Over the past few years, Medtronic has been collaborating with the Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute and the Wildlife Science Center to use our LINQ™ cardiac monitors in a completely unexpected way — on wolves and other wild species. With the help of Tim Laske and the amazing team at the Center, research is well underway to build a deeper understanding of wolf physiology that can help improve both wild conservation and captive care, including for critically endangered species like the red wolf and Mexican grey wolf. Animals around the world are being implanted with our LINQ™ cardiac monitors to continue learning more about their physiology, response to the environment and help track endangered species as makes this project particularly special is the dedication of Medtronic employees who volunteer their time and expertise to support this important work. Their commitment exemplifies Tenet 6 of our Mission: to be a good citizen — globally. I left inspired by the passion of our people, our research partners, and reminded how far technology and compassion can reach — even into the wild. Watch how LINQ is advancing conservation science and helping to improve quality of life in wolves: Learn more about the Wildlife Science Center: Visit 3BL Media to see more multimedia and stories from Medtronic

LINQ scales capacity to serve growing GCC demand for modular hospitality solutions
Construction LINQ scales capacity to serve growing GCC demand for modular hospitality solutions By The firm says it has pioneered new materials that deliver optimal acoustic, thermal and fire performance as it ramps capabilities to deliver nearly 1,900 rooms annually Modular construction specialist, LINQ, has said it has invested in ramping up its production capabilities, and is now capable of delivering nearly 1,900 fully fit-out luxury rooms per year. The move is in response to growing demand for hotel room stock in the GCC, and calls for the construction industry to embrace new and innovative ways to construct hotels in the most rapid, efficient, and cost-effective manner. LINQ, which is the modular construction arm of UAE-based ALEC, is the first company to have secured a modular construction license from the Dubai Municipality to pioneer G+6 buildings. The firm said it is poised to be the leading modular construction partner to regional resorts, boutique hotels and luxury serviced apartments. Critically, by producing its 'plug-and-play' three- to five-star hotel rooms entirely offsite within the tightly controlled and highly optimised settings of its expansive production facility in the Dubai, the company is able to target a remarkably low material wastage – estimated by the Waste & Resources Action Program (WRAP) to be up to as much as up to 90% less than traditional construction techniques, said a statement from the company. 'When talking about 400,000 new hotel rooms being built over the next six years, every fraction counts. So, the efficiencies made possible by modular construction techniques quickly cascade to offer tremendous benefit. Paired with the potential for enhanced quality, and speed of delivery – made possible by factory-controlled production – this paradigm has the potential to play a significant role in meeting the GCC's unprecedented demand for hotel room stock,' said Graham Petty, Operations Manager at LINQ. Through 2024, LINQ demonstrated the feasibility and benefits of modular construction for the hospitality sector by successfully manufacturing and installing 218 serviced apartments at Sindalah, the iconic island destination in the region. Key to the success of this project was the firm's work in pioneering sustainable materials tailored to enhance efficiency, durability, and sustainability, the statement explained. Petty continued, 'We're challenging misconceptions around build quality and acoustic performance that relate to dry walling and other traditional techniques. By introducing a lightweight cellular concrete infill to the regional market, we can offer rooms with industry-benchmarked acoustic, thermal and fire performance.' To further inform the market around this new construction paradigm, LINQ has developed a demo unit for a five-star hotel room that will be showcased at the upcoming Project Control Expo in the UAE. Constructed with a 50mm thick lightweight concrete floor, luxury joinery, and natural marble, this demo unit also includes the DigiValet standalone guest room management system, the company explained. 'We're demonstrating that modular rooms can be every bit as high-quality, luxurious, and feature packed as their traditionally built counterparts. With global leading hospitality chains now signing on to adopt this approach for their properties in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, we're at a critical inflection point. At LINQ, we're primed for the opportunity and are excited to see this segment go from strength to strength,' concluded Petty.
