Avant Technologies and Ainnova in Talks to Obtain Innovative Technology in Preventative Health Reporting

Avant Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI), an emerging player in AI-driven healthcare innovation, and its JV partner, Ainnova Tech, Inc., (Ainnova), a leading healthcare technology company focused on revolutionizing early disease detection using artificial intelligence (AI), today announced the companies are in talks with an international healthcare innovation company to license or potentially acquire its patented early disease detection technology. If successful, it’s a global license or acquisition that has the potential to revolutionize preventive health reporting and to generate correlations for future detection of new diseases without the need for all the patient’s data.

Avant and Ainnova continue to grow the footprint and capabilities of their technology portfolio with the goal of being a leader in early disease detection using the Company’s signature AI- driven Vision AI technology platform.

Vinicio Vargas, Chief Executive Officer at Ainnova and member of the Board of Directors of the joint venture company, Ai-nova Acquisition Corp., said of the Company’s aim to continue to add to its portfolio, “Our purpose is to create the future of early disease detection in an accessible way, so that patients can get a preventive check-up anywhere, at a low cost, and easily. We want to prevent patients with risk factors from developing other diseases that could have been avoided before they became a real problem.

“To this end, we are seeking to integrate new technologies into our portfolio within a single platform, both through our R&D efforts and through potential exclusive licenses or acquisitions.”

Avant and Ainnova see the retina as a new vital sign, but also understand that leveraging the results of laboratory tests and basic patient data can all work in concert to provide a comprehensive health report.

Vargas added, “We have already integrated an exclusive license for four algorithms into our Vision AI platform, and we are now in talks to license and potentially acquire an innovative technology that would be a game changer in our industry.”

Avant will inform its shareholders of any updates at an appropriate time.

Most recently, Avant began official talks of a proposed acquisition of Ainnova, officially unifying operations of the two parties into one, after already aligning under the Ai-nova Acquisition Corp. (AAC) banner. This intentional step came just ahead of their scheduled FDA pre-submission meeting this July. If completed, the merger would remove internal friction, streamline clinical trial planning, and strengthen their regulatory posture ahead of potential U.S. market entry.

“We believe bringing the two companies together will offer tremendous value for shareholders,” said Vargas. “It will simplify the process of advancing our technology to market, and it will deliver value to our customers and partners as we promote our technology portfolio globally.”

At the core of this effort is the previously mentioned Vision AI, a non-invasive clinical screening platform that combines retinal imaging, vital sign capture, and machine-learning algorithms to detect early signals of chronic illness—including diabetic retinopathy, cardiovascular disease, kidney and liver conditions, and type 2 diabetes. Operating under AAC, the joint venture holds global rights to the platform, which has shown more than 90% sensitivity in early detection, according to NIH-cited research.

"This milestone reflects our two-tiered strategy, rapid deployment in low-regulation markets where Vision AI operates as a screening tool, and simultaneous progress toward FDA clearance for the U.S. market,” said Vargas. “Entering the U.S. will unlock significant commercial potential, and early engagement with regulators ensures we do so with speed, credibility, and a validated product."

While many AI-driven healthcare ventures remain in the pilot or proof-of-concept phase, Avant’s platform is already in deployment across multiple Latin American markets—including Chile, Mexico, and Brazil—where it continues to operate in live clinical environments. These real-world settings are generating critical data on both safety and efficacy, while also supplying user feedback that informs ongoing refinements to performance and usability.

To expand its diagnostic range, the Ai-nova joint venture recently added four new algorithms to the Vision AI platform. Each was trained on a dataset exceeding 2.3 million clinical cases, enhancing the system’s capabilities across a broader array of chronic diseases. With growing momentum overseas and regulatory planning underway in the U.S., Avant’s story may soon shift from early promise to broader market relevance.

UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE: UNH) has now deployed over 1,000 artificial intelligence applications across its insurance, care delivery, and pharmacy businesses, with use cases ranging from claim support to patient diagnostics.

“AI is the most exciting technology,” said Sandeep Dadlani, Chief Digital and Technology Officer at UnitedHealth Group. “But my job is to help really be practical and pragmatic, ambitious, and yet very responsible with this.”

About half of these tools leverage generative AI, including chatbots, documentation assistance, and data summarization aimed at improving efficiency and access. The company emphasizes that AI is used to augment—not replace—human decision-making, particularly in the claims process.

Clover Health Investments, Corp. (NASDAQ: CLOV), through its AI-driven subsidiary, Counterpart Health, has released new data showing that use of its Counterpart Assistant platform is associated with significantly better outcomes in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF).

“Counterpart Assistant is a testament to this commitment, offering clinicians actionable intelligence that can translate to improved care for patients with heart failure and a significant decrease in costly acute episodes,” said Conrad Wai, CEO of Counterpart Health. “This technology demonstrates that enhanced clinical quality and reduced cost of care delivery are not mutually exclusive, but rather, achievable through intelligent physician enablement.”

Patients managed by primary care physicians using the tool saw an 18% reduction in all-cause hospitalizations and a 25% drop in 30-day readmissions. The platform provides real-time, data-driven insights to support earlier diagnosis, guideline-based treatment, and improved coordination with specialists.

Medtronic plc (NYSE: MDT) has received FDA approval for its Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation (aDBS) system, an AI-powered advancement that uses brainwave sensing to automatically adjust stimulation in real time for Parkinson’s patients.

"The aDBS system listens to these brain waves and then algorithms adjust the stimulation in real time according to what the brain waves tell us about their symptoms," said Dr. Simon Little, a neurologist at the University of California San Francisco. "It's a very exciting development."

Unlike traditional DBS devices that require manual reprogramming, aDBS interprets neural signals and modulates therapy to match the patient’s fluctuating needs throughout the day. This marks a pivotal step forward in neuromodulation, combining real-time data with AI algorithms to improve quality of life in chronic disease management.

Becton, Dickinson and Company (NYSE: BDX) has launched the HemoSphere Alta™, an advanced hemodynamic monitoring platform that integrates AI-driven algorithms to help clinicians proactively manage blood flow and blood pressure instability during procedures. The platform features predictive tools like the Hypotension Prediction Index and a novel Cerebral Autoregulation Index, offering personalized insights into each patient’s cerebral blood flow regulation. With these capabilities, clinicians can detect and respond to risks earlier, improving outcomes and minimizing complications.
