Chinese Car Company Seres Patents Voice-Controlled Toilet Hidden Under Passenger Seat
Seres, a Chinese car company, got a patent for an in-vehicle toilet.
It was filed in April 2025 and approved on April 10, 2026. This is a patent idea, not a car launch.
Reports say the toilet hides under the front passenger seat and can be used by voice command or a button.
It also reportedly includes a waste tank, odor control, and a heating feature to dry or evaporate waste.
My Diabetes Health
Dr. Sahasranam spent two decades as an endocrinologist in California's Central Valley, consulting over 35,000 patients in one of the most underserved regions in the country. His secret to outcomes? Education. By 2018, he had two full-time diabetes educators on staff.
Then they retired. And he couldn't replace them.
That moment revealed something he couldn't ignore: 62% of non-metropolitan counties in the U.S. have no diabetes education program at all. Only 5 to 7% of patients receive any structured education in their first year of diagnosis. So in 2019, he built a solution that didn't depend on geography.
Today, My Diabetes Health has completed 30,000+ virtual sessions across 8,600+ patients, delivering an average 1.6-point A1C reduction — more than double the national average. The program is accredited, covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurers, and available nationwide.
The market is $18.1 billion. The need is urgent. The round closes in 9 days.

Early Trial Shows Personalized mRNA Vaccine May Delay Pancreatic Cancer Return
A small phase 1 trial tested a personalized mRNA vaccine called autogene cevumeran in 16 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) after surgery.
Patients also got atezolizumab and mFOLFIRINOX chemotherapy, and 8 patients made tumor-specific CD8+ T cells.
The follow-up showed those immune cells lasted for years in some patients, and those patients seemed to have their cancer come back later.
But this was still a very small early trial, so researchers are now running a randomized phase 2 trial.
Tinder and Zoom Add Sam Altman’s Orb-Based Human Verification
Tinder and Zoom are working with World, a Sam Altman-backed project, to help users prove they’re real humans.
World uses the Orb to scan a person’s eyes and face, then gives them a World ID. On Tinder, that can add a human badge to a profile. On Zoom, it can help show that a meeting participant is real.
The goal is to fight AI bots, fake profiles, and deepfake scams. But people are worried about privacy, because this system uses biometric scans.
The big question is whether better safety online is worth giving that kind of personal data.
