Dryout technology helps protect everything from electronics, cell phones, tablets, earbuds and battery packs to photo and video gear, firearms, optics, night vision goggles, ammunition, medical devices, tools and more. Designed in three layers, the material absorbs up to 3,400 times more moisture than a silica gel packet and 11 times more than an electric humidifier. It can also be reused repeatedly.
“Moisture is one of the most persistent and expensive threats to mission-critical gear, whether that mission is outdoor adventure, hunting, traveling, military, aerospace or just daily life with electronic devices,” said Romney Williams, CEO of Dryout. “Until now, there hasn’t been an electricity-free moisture-management solution this powerful, reusable or versatile.”
Using a proprietary design, Dryout actively pulls and traps moisture, holding it away from gear, Williams said. The trapped moisture can later be released, so Dryout can be reused indefinitely to defend equipment from rust, corrosion, condensation, fogging, ingress and electrical failure.
Manufactured in 6-by-9-inch panels, Dryout can draw and absorb up to 32.4 grams of moisture from as far as 8 inches away and is ready for reuse in as little as 30 minutes.
The company offers collaborative design, development and production services to adapt the product to individual users’ needs.
Nu Skin Enterprises Inc., a Provo-based direct-sales beauty and wellness products company, has introduced Prysm iO, an intelligent nutritional wellness platform designed to provide insights into personal health by helping users track their carotenoid levels, nutrients that combat oxidative stress in the body. Consisting of a device and an app, the product was made available through Nu Skin representatives late last year and will be made available to the public throughout 2026. Prysm iO uses advanced skin-scanning technology to provide a fingertip measurement of carotenoids, giving readings reflecting diet, fitness, lifestyle and supplementation. “Prysm iO isn’t just a device; it’s a shift toward intelligent, personalized wellness,” said Ryan Napierski, president and CEO of Nu Skin. “People are investing significant time, effort and money into their health but still asking, ‘Is what I’m doing actually working?’ Prysm iO gives them clear, real-time answers.”
Customer communications platform Podium, based in Lehi, has launched its AI Operating System for Aesthetics — the first unified platform purpose-built for aesthetic practices, the company said. The system integrates electronic medical records (EMR), patient c o m m u n i c a t i o n s , marketing automation and lead management — all powered by Avery, Podium’s AI “employee.” Unlike traditional EMRs built solely for operations, Podium’s new system helps practices grow and scale their business. Practices typically rely on three or more disconnected systems, wasting an average of eight hours per week switching between platforms while missing critical opportunities for revenue generation, according to Podium. “MedSpa teams waste time jumping between software systems and doing manual work that AI should handle,” said Jason Brand, director of product for MedSpa at Podium. “We built the AI operating system so practices can run and scale from a single platform, while staff focuses on patients and business growth.”
Lehi-based Avetta, a provider of supply chain risk management software, has launched Avetta University, a learning resource fully integrated into the AI-powered Avetta One platform. Designed to provide suppliers and contractors with health and safety e-training, it helps Avetta clients keep every link in their supply chains ready to work. Health and safety training is a cornerstone of effective risk management, Avetta said, but nearly a quarter of organizations admit they do not give adequate training to suppliers. Avetta University solves this challenge, offering an expertly curated course library that hiring clients can select from and direct their suppliers and contractors to complete before they begin work. “We’re committed to helping every company make health and safety a top priority, particularly suppliers and contractors who need flexible, accessible training that fits how they work,” said Abid Yousuf, chief customer officer at Avetta.
Barnes Bullets has announced the release of its new ballistic calculator app TrueData. The Mona-based ammunition manufacturer said with Doppler-verified ballistics, precise environmental inputs and tools that match real-world performance, TrueData equips hunters and shooters with the ability to make confident shot decisions and achieve data-driven accuracy. “This app has been a long time coming,” said Andrew Sparks, vice president of marketing and business development at Barnes Bullets. “We built, we tested, we refined and we think this app is the most complete and user-friendly ballistic calculator available. We ask that everyone download it, put it through the paces and submit feedback to help us make this thing even better.” The app can store rifle profiles for multiple guns and is available for free on both Apple and Android and can be found by searching for “TrueData Ballistics” in the relevant app store.
Salt Lake City-based MARAbio Systems, a precision immunology company specializing in detecting, treating and preventing Maternal Autoantibody-related Autism (MARA), has commercially launched the MAR-Autism Test, the first blood test to identify specific maternal autoantibodies that are causal for a subtype of autism. MARA is estimated to account for up to one in five individuals with autism. MARA is caused by maternal autoantibodies that cross the placenta, disrupt the developing brain, and cause neurodevelopmental alterations and autistic symptoms. The test is the result of more than two decades of research and work at the U.C. Davis MIND Institute by Dr. Judy Van de Water, MARAbio’s founder and chief scientific advisor. “The commercial availability of the MAR-Autism blood test is a transformative advancement in the detection of autism, including the likelihood of autism in a future child,” said Michael Paul, MARAbio’s president and CEO.
Feasibly, a Park City-based startup, has launched with an AI-powered real estate analysis platform developed by market and financial feasibility veterans. The new firm said its product modernizes how developers, investors and lenders evaluate the viability of commercial d e v e l o p m e n t projects. Blending AI speed with human expertise, Feasibly’s patent-pending software delivers bank-ready market feasibility studies in days instead of months. “Feasibly’s founders spent decades conducting feasibility studies for complex development projects,” said Brian Connolly, founder and CEO of Feasibly. “Based on that experience, we built Feasibly with proven analytical methods, proprietary data and AI automation to make professional-grade feasibility analysis accessible to more builders, funders and planners.” At launch, Feasibly’s large language model will support six project types: multi-family, retail, hotel, office, sports, entertainment and mixed-use development. Future sectors to be released will include single-family residential, student housing, medical, storage and more.
