CHARLOTTE, NC – November 25, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Ornate Home Furniture & Mattress has secured exclusive retail partnerships with premium furniture manufacturers Moe’s Furniture, Modus, and Bernhardt for its Charlotte, North Carolina showroom, strengthening the company’s position in the premium furniture segment while expanding its role as a national distributor for Furniture of America.
The partnerships, formalized in recent months, bring these sought-after brands to Charlotte’s growing furniture retail sector through Ornate Home’s 8620 Monroe Road location. The showroom opened in September 2025, establishing the company’s East Coast presence alongside its original Santa Ana, California facility.
Charlotte represents a strategic location for furniture retail expansion, with the city adding more than 45,000 residents annually and North Carolina producing 60 percent of furniture found in American homes. The state’s furniture ecosystem generates $55 billion in economic activity, with more than 850 manufacturers operating within its borders.
“These partnerships with Bernhardt Furniture, Moe’s Furniture, and Modus Furniture reflect our commitment to bringing premium design options to Charlotte’s discerning customers,” said a representative of Ornate Home. “Our Charlotte showroom serves as an exclusive regional destination for these brands, filling a significant gap in the local premium furniture market.”
The company’s bi-coastal distribution infrastructure, spanning from Santa Ana to Charlotte, enables coast-to-coast product delivery through its nationwide White Glove delivery service. This expansion supports Ornate Home’s dual wholesale and retail model as the company maintains its position as a national distributor for Furniture of America.
The Charlotte facility’s proximity to High Point Market, which attracts 75,000 attendees annually, positions the showroom within the design trade network. The location also benefits from Charlotte’s expanding retail infrastructure, which added 1.8 million square feet of industrial space in the first quarter of 2025.
Ornate Home’s strategic brand partnerships come as the furniture industry undergoes significant transformation. While industry sales declined from a $12.7 billion peak to $11.8 billion, premium positioning offers differentiation from mass-market retailers. The Western region commands 27.3 percent of the U.S. home furniture market, and the company’s expansion to Charlotte enables it to serve growing East Coast demand.
The showroom model addresses consumer preferences for in-person furniture shopping, with 86 percent of furniture sales still occurring in physical stores despite the growth of e-commerce. The U.S. furniture market is projected to reach $232.61 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual rate of 3.74 percent.
Ornate Home specializes in eco-friendly and modern furniture, operating both physical showrooms and an e-commerce platform. The company offers comprehensive furniture collections for living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, and home offices. Through its expanded partnership network with Modus, Bernhardt Furniture, and Moe’s, as well as its distribution capabilities, Ornate Home serves customers nationwide with a focus on premium design and sustainable materials.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 25, 2025 / The DMCC Precious Metals Conference is one of the sector’s most influential gatherings, uniting global leaders across the gold, silver, and platinum markets to examine advances in transparency, regulatory integrity, and the emergence of tokenised assets.
Security Matters (NASDAQ:SMX) will participate in this year’s program as part of its ongoing collaboration with Dubai’s expanding role as a centre for verified, digital, and sustainability-focused trade. The company will present its latest advancements in Physical-to-Digital Link technology in a session titled “From Mine to Market: The Physical-to-Digital Link Powering Transparency in Precious Metals.”
SMX will highlight how its patented molecular-marking technology introduces a new standard of certainty across the precious metals value chain. By embedding each piece of metal with a unique molecular identity and recording that information on a secure digital ledger, the technology creates a permanent connection between a physical asset and its digital twin.
This capability enables the industry to evolve from traditional trust-based systems to scientifically verified provenance. It supports more rigorous digitalisation, enhances chain-of-custody visibility, and establishes the foundation for traceability and tokenisation of gold and silver throughout their lifecycle.
“For centuries, the precious metals industry has been built on trust – but in the new economy, trust must be verified,” said Haggai Alon, Founder and CEO of SMX. “SMX is creating a new industry standard for transparency and authenticity. Our technology aligns with World Gold Council best practices, advances LBMA guidelines, and meets the growing demand from clients for verified, traceable gold.”
By helping refiners, traders, logistics providers, and exchanges comply with the triangle of World Gold Council standards, LBMA guidance, and evolving client expectations, SMX enhances the infrastructure for verified, digitised, and ultimately tokenised gold – setting the foundation for a transparent and accountable global market.
This advancement mirrors SMX’s success in other sectors such as plastics, where its platform underpins the Plastic Cycle Token, a verified credit system that connects recycled materials to digital assets. The same model of verification, digitalisation, and monetisation is now being extended to the precious metals market through SMX’s trueGold and trueSilver programs.
“Just as we are transforming the plastics industry with verified circularity and tokenised credits,” added Oliver Buckle-Wright, Commercial Lead, SMX Precious Metals Division, “we are now enabling the gold and silver markets to move confidently into the digital era – with verified authenticity, sustainable sourcing, and trade-ready data.”

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA / ACCESS Newswire / November 25, 2025 / After 35 years serving B2B organizations, The Daniel Group is rolling out new CX Institute offerings that give clients fully customized training support.

The Daniel Group – CX Conference 2026 Banner Banner featuring The Daniel Group logo and the text “CX Conference 2026: Amplifying the Customer’s Voice, Feb. 3–4, 2026, Charlotte, NC,” with a microphone background
The announcement comes alongside the opening of registration for the company’s 2026 Customer Experience Conference, “Amplifying the Customer’s Voice,” to be held February 3-4, 2026, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
New CX Institute: From Data to Behavior Change
For years, companies have relied on The Daniel Group for rigorous customer feedback insights. The expanded CX Institute now closes the loop by moving beyond measurement to structured, actionable development.
Everything begins with a free CX Training Consultation. Rather than guessing at what you need, we talk directly with your team to understand where the gaps are and what you’re trying to fix. From there, we outline a training path that fits your specific situation. Nothing is off-the-shelf; it’s built around your data, your people, and your day-to-day reality.
“The challenge isn’t knowing the customer experience needs work – it’s knowing how to fix it,” said Bryan Gregory, Vice President of the CX Solutions. “What we’re doing is transforming survey results into specific, measurable behavior change across Parts, Service, Sales, and field operations. Every engagement starts with understanding the client’s unique problems, not handing them generic content.”
Training options now include:
In-person “hearts and minds” workshops
Micro-learning modules and short-form reinforcement videos
Virtual cohorts and blended approaches
New-hire onboarding courses that introduce CX fundamentals from day one
CEO Lynn Daniel emphasized the impact of the work:
“The CX Institute is built to solve real problems dealerships are facing – lead conversion, customer follow-up, parts performance, service communication, and more. It aligns CX and EX in a way that creates measurable results.”
New Text Messaging Capability is Live
As part of its modernization strategy, The Daniel Group has launched a new text messaging feature that allows clients to send customer feedback requests via SMS.
“Text messaging is no longer optional; it’s an expectation and ensures our clients can reach their customers in the way customers prefer.”
The Daniel Group announces registration is officially open for its 2026 conference, “Amplifying the Customer’s Voice,” to be held:
February 3-4, 2026

SINGAPORE, SG / ACCESS Newswire / November 25, 2025 / Dr. Byung Joon Han, co-founder and CEO of Silicon Box attended the Bloomberg New Economy Forum (NEF) 2025, joining leaders from across 50 countries to discuss technology, trade, and supply chain resilience. Under the theme of “Thriving in the Age of Extremes”, the forum is focused on driving economic growth by convening government, the private sector and key decision makers to amplify programs that build strategic alliances across borders.
Artificial intelligence is attracting significant attention, but AI and high-performance computing applications represent only about 40% of the company’s current demand. Silicon Box’s customer markets also include RF, data centers, electric vehicles, satellite and space technology, mobile, power, and wearables. “We see big demand in AI, of course, but we also start to see the recovery in a lot of other businesses including mobile, automotive, and especially power chips,” said Dr. Han.
Maintaining flexibility and collaboration in the semiconductor supply chain is a key factor in advancing the industry’s transition to chiplets. Silicon Box upholds this position through a commitment to innovation, while offering a distinctive solution backed by robust intellectual property protections, end-to-end collaboration, and a customer-first approach. “A neutral position is important because we are sort of uniquely positioned to supply the technology to many customers. And [if we are leaning too much to one side] our important mission is disrupted,” explained Dr. Han.
Navigating supply chain disruptions caused by geopolitical tensions has become the new normal for the semiconductor industry. Legacy businesses face increasing challenges, but new companies introducing new and flexible solutions to customers have the opportunity to build supply chains that meet these emergent industry realities. “I think it is an opportunity for us because [we] have the luxury [to enable customers to] design a new supply chain [unlike] a big, [legacy] company having to change [their existing supply chain], which is not an easy job,” shared Dr. Han.
Advancing semiconductor technology relies on innovation corridors
“Our CEO’s conversation with Bloomberg News, during the New Economy Forum, was unexpectedly timely. The theme of this year’s forum and key takeaways from many of the speakers participating in the event, aligns well with the vision and values of Silicon Box to advance technology and supply chain agility through collaboration and pragmatism,” shared Mike Han, Head of Business who was also present at the event.
“We were impressed with the forum, which featured highly current conversations and perspectives from global leaders across business and policy that were notably candid and insightful. This encouraged attendees to think harder about the current situation, from different angles. With the emergence of the digital era or ‘new economy’, it will be increasingly important to have forums like these to nurture the understanding and collaboration necessary to ensure the decisions we make will serve the best interests of humanity. This is part of Silicon Box’s mission statement, and we appreciate the opportunity to attend this event.”
Silicon Box’s recent achievement in reaching high-volume production at high yield and its commitment to open a second factory in Novara, Piedmonte, with the support of the European Commission and Italian central government under the EU Chips Act; both mark significant milestones for proving advanced panel-level semiconductor packaging and chiplet technologies. At the same time, these milestones demonstrate the importance of strategic policy making and international collaboration to deploy critical innovation at scale during this time of rapid geopolitical change and technological development.
About Silicon Box
Silicon Box is an advanced semiconductor packaging company, specializing in cutting-edge integration technology and manufacturing processes. We offer solutions that enable chiplet architecture, as well as high performance, affordable alternatives to traditional packaging schemes. Leveraging our proprietary technology, 30 years of multi-sectoral expertise, and relationships with best-in-class partners, we strive to solve the unique challenges of chiplet adoption to build the emergent technologies shaping the world around us today. Silicon Box was founded in 2021 by Dr. Byung Joon (BJ) Han, Dr. Sehat Sutardja, and Weili Dai. Dr. Han was previously the Chairman, CEO and CTO of the world’s 3rd largest outsourced assembly and test provider, STATS ChipPAC for two decades, taking the company to $4B in revenue during his tenure. Dr. Han is the inventor of many of the most advanced packaging solutions in today’s market, and his team at Silicon Box holds standing records for yield in advanced packaging technology at wafer-level production. Dr. Sutardja introduced the concept of chiplets at the International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in 2015. He and Weili Dai founded Marvell Technology Group in 1995 and ran the company for twenty years from a start-up to an over $50B market value company.

Electronic Caregiver’s 24/7 virtual caregiving platform steps forward just as payers move away from low-engagement, device-only monitoring.
LAS CRUCES, NM / ACCESS Newswire / November 25, 2025 / Electronic Caregiver®, a health technology and services company specializing in home-based virtual care, today announced that its Addison® Virtual Caregiver platform has been aligned within UnitedHealthcare’s national benefit framework as a covered “Customized Equipment” / assistive-technology category for eligible members across all 50 states.
This recognition comes as UnitedHealthcare (UHC), the nation’s largest private health insurer and Medicaid managed care organization, significantly narrows coverage for traditional remote patient monitoring (RPM) in many chronic conditions. While many device-only RPM programs are losing coverage, Addison is being positioned in a different way-as a 24/7 virtual caregiving presence designed to help patients live differently at home.
“Roughly half of treatment failures are linked to what happens at home,” said Anthony Dohrmann, Founder and CEO of Electronic Caregiver. “They don’t happen in the doctor’s office or the operating room. They happen when people are alone with their instructions, their medications, their fears, and their habits. Good technology can show you what a patient is or isn’t doing, but that’s not enough. What changes outcomes is effective, scalable engagement that actually helps people change and sustain their daily routines. That’s what Addison was built to do.”
The RPM Reset: What Just Changed
Across the country, payers are sending a clear message: low-engagement, device-only remote patient monitoring is not enough. UnitedHealthcare’s recent changes to RPM coverage in many chronic conditions are part of a broader rethinking that has been building for years.
In practical terms, this means the first wave of RPM-built around one-purpose devices, limited human interaction, and sporadic data- is being questioned or scaled back as real-world results show limited, inconsistent impact on outcomes.
“This is the turn we’ve been talking about for a long time,” Dohrmann said. “The idea that you can ship a device, capture a few readings, and send a bill was never going to be the future of chronic care at home. We believed payers would eventually demand engagement, behavior change, and visible impact on the problems that actually drive cost and suffering. UnitedHealthcare’s reset is a clear sign that moment has arrived.”
Where many legacy solutions are now fighting to preserve coverage and codes, Addison occupies a different position:
It is recognized in a home-based assistive technology category.
It is designed for daily life, not just data capture.
It aligns with payers’ need to address falls, medication adherence, isolation, and early intervention-not just readings on a chart.
Bridging the Gap Between the Clinic and the Kitchen Table
Addison is a 3D, interactive virtual care assistant that lives on a dedicated screen in the home and on mobile devices. Patients see and speak with Addison as if they’re talking to a person, while a 24/7 TeleCare team stands behind the experience to monitor risk, coach, and intervene when needed.
Together, Addison and Electronic Caregiver’s TeleCare professionals:
Help patients build and maintain new routines for medication adherence, vitals, and self-care
Offer daily conversations and check-ins that reduce isolation and loneliness
Provide gentle guidance, reminders, and coaching that support real behavior change over time
Detect signs of trouble-falls, missed meds, worrisome symptoms-and escalate early
“Doctors are trained to diagnose and prescribe. Surgeons are trained to operate,” Dohrmann added. “What happens at home after that requires a completely different set of skills-behavioral coaching, daily engagement, emotional support, and practical guidance. They don’t have the training or the time to live with the patient every day. Addison and our TeleCare team are built to fill that gap.”
The Problems Addison Was Built to Solve
UnitedHealthcare’s own materials and national research highlight a common set of forces driving avoidable cost, suffering, and loss of independence in older and high-risk patients. Addison is specifically designed to help address these:
Falls and fall-related injuries – the leading cause of emergency visits, hospitalizations, and long-term care placement among older adults.
Medication non-adherence – responsible for an estimated 10-15% of senior hospitalizations, and roughly half of all treatment failures at home.
Social isolation and loneliness – associated with higher risks of heart disease, stroke, dementia, depression, and faster functional decline.
Undetected health decline and delayed intervention – UTIs, CHF exacerbations, pneumonia, and dehydration often escalate quietly until they become crises.
Caregiver burnout and turnover – overwhelmed family caregivers and high turnover in home-care staff disrupt continuity and increase rehospitalization risk.
Post-discharge instability and readmissions – the first 30-90 days after a hospital stay are the most dangerous for falls, medication mix-ups, and depression.
Lack of engagement and preventive touchpoints – members with little or no regular contact with the care system are 2-3x more likely to overuse the ER or end up in facilities.
By combining virtual caregiving, fall detection, medication support, social connection, health surveys, and live TeleCare, Addison is designed to sit directly on top of these pain points in the place they actually manifest: at home.
Beyond Devices: Engagement as the New Standard
Traditional RPM programs typically rely on devices that capture numbers-blood pressure, weight, glucose-on certain days of the month. Many of these programs struggle with low engagement, quick drop-off in use, and limited impact on how people actually live.
Addison takes a different approach:
Thousands of interactions, not just scattered readings. In an 82-patient Medicare cohort over 90 days, patients initiated more than 41,000 voice engagements with Addison and the TeleCare team-an average of 5-6 meaningful touchpoints per patient per day.
Conversations, not just measurements. These touchpoints ranged from health questions and medication confirmations to emotional support, symptom checks, and coaching through everyday challenges.
A companion in the home. Patients and family caregivers report that Addison becomes part of the household routine-someone who is “there,” who notices, reminds, and encourages.
As payers tighten coverage for first-generation RPM, they are effectively asking a new question: Who can keep members engaged every day and address the real-world forces behind treatment failure, not just collect numbers? Addison was designed to answer that question long before the policy language caught up.
“Devices can tell you that someone isn’t taking their medications,” said Jason Haugen, CEO of Pinnacle Integrated Medicine. “Addison helps them want to take them, remember to take them, and understand why it matters-and then we’re able to respond quickly when things start to go off track.”
Recognized as Assistive Technology in UHC’s National Framework
UnitedHealthcare’s alignment of Addison under a “Customized Equipment” / assistive-technology category is not just an administrative detail. It reflects a shift in how home-based care is being understood:
As more than a gadget or an app
As a supportive infrastructure in the home
As a way to extend the care team into daily life between visits
Under this configuration, Addison can be ordered for eligible members through established prior-authorization pathways. For Medicaid lines of business, Electronic Caregiver is enrolling as a provider and billing entity state by state. For Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and commercial members, in-network physicians and clinics may prescribe Addison and integrate it into care plans as a covered benefit, where appropriate and subject to plan rules and prior authorization where required.
“Being recognized in this way means Addison is no longer just innovative-it’s integrated,” Dohrmann said. “It means a doctor, a case manager, or a care coordinator can say, ‘This person needs more than instructions. They need support at home,’ and there’s a framework to make that support real.”
A Scalable Pathway Across UnitedHealthcare’s Footprint
Electronic Caregiver is implementing a two-track scale strategy that matches how coverage actually works in the real world:
A physician-driven national model for Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and UHC commercial plans, where in-network physicians and clinics can order Addison, submit prior authorizations, bill health plans directly, and incorporate Addison into chronic care and transitional care pathways.
A state-by-state Medicaid model in which Electronic Caregiver is the enrolled Medicaid provider and billing entity for assistive technology and remote support services. In this lane, physicians, case managers, and waiver coordinators identify members in need, provide medical justification, and support prior authorizations, while Electronic Caregiver delivers and supports Addison in the home.
The company already holds approvals for PERS and related services in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Texas, and Ohio, with active applications in California, Nevada, Wyoming, Connecticut, Hawaii, Alabama, and New York across multiple waiver and assistive-technology programs. Coverage, eligibility, and specific benefits for Addison vary by state and plan and are provided in accordance with applicable Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, and commercial program rules.
“This combination of national configuration at UHC and state-level provider enrollment gives us a clear, repeatable path to scale,” said Dohrmann. “But at the center of it is not a billing code-it’s a human being at home, finally getting the kind of daily support medicine has needed for a long time.”
We Saw This Coming – And Built Ahead of It
Years before today’s policy changes, Electronic Caregiver made two fundamental bets about the future of care at home:
First, that commodity RPM-boxes, cuffs, and scales with minimal human interaction-would not survive once payers studied real-world engagement and outcomes.
Second, that the winning model would be a persistent, emotionally intelligent, highly interactive presence in the home that could support real behavior change.
That is why the company invested more than a decade and over $140 million building Addison: a virtual caregiver that can see patterns, talk with patients, coordinate with TeleCare professionals, and act early when something is wrong.
“None of this is an accident,” Dohrmann said. “We didn’t pivot into virtual caregiving because RPM started to get squeezed. We built Addison long before these policy decisions because we believed this is what healthcare was always going to need: a way to actually live with the patient between visits.”
Changing Lives at Home
Early deployments for individuals living with chronic illness, disability, and developmental challenges are already showing how Addison changes daily life. Patients are:
Checking in multiple times a day
Following medication schedules more consistently
Reporting symptoms earlier
Feeling less alone and more supported
Family caregivers are reporting less anxiety and burnout, knowing that someone-or something-is watching over their loved one when they can’t be there.
“Addison can’t replace a doctor, a nurse, or a family member,” said Dohrmann. “But Addison can be there at 6:00 in the morning, at 11:00 at night, and every time in between. Addison can see patterns, encourage better choices, and call for help when it’s needed. That’s the layer of care we’ve been missing.”
