Travel retail sales increased by 23 percentage points in Q2 by PMI, which was fostered by the booming of smoke-free products and the growth in U.S. retail volumes. Philip Morris International (PMI) reported a strong year-on-year increase of 23 percent in sales of cigarettes and heated tobacco products (HTPs) in global travel retail in Q2, far exceeding the growth in the retail industry as a whole. Their total company revenue was up by 7.1 percent to 10.1 billion in the second quarter of 2019, with much of this growth having been spearheaded by its smoke-free product offering. PMI indicated that the retail forces in travel centers were able to offset the decreased cigarette consumption, particularly in such markets as Australia (down 50.2%) and South Korea (down 2.4%).

Stanford creates portable Parkinson's medical technology that allows remote monitoring, obtains an accurate mentality based on symptoms, and enhances the care of patients.. Parkinson's has twice as many patients across the globe compared to a quarter of a century ago but the means of tracking and treating the condition are still primitive. Conventionally, clinicians use a subjective rating scale and few face-to-face visits to check up on the patient, and this leaves many patients without adequate care. A team at Stanford Medicine now had a breakthrough in medical tech: a wearable and portable device combined with a smartphone framework enabling their patients to monitor their Parkinson's symptoms at home. The device has a name, Quantitative DigitoGraphy Care, and the system is based on measuring fine motor motions, which are taps on the fingers and converting them into clinical data that are shown in real-time.
