McKinsey's Global Institute estimates Gen AI could unlock $60–110 billion in annual value across pharma and medical products alone. Statista now projects the global AI healthcare market will soar from $11 billion to $188 billion by 2030 .
Avant Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI) has just taken a major step forward in its evolution from AI incubator to full-stack healthcare innovator. Today, the company announced it had signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire 100% of Ainnova Tech , its joint venture partner and the developer of the Vision AI diagnostic platform. Prior to the acquisition, the two companies have been operating jointly through Ai-nova Acquisition Corp (AAC) , which holds global licensing rights to Ainnova's technology portfolio and serves as the commercialization engine for Vision AI and all future device deployments.
"We believe bringing the two companies together will offer tremendous value for shareholders, 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," said Vinicio Vargas , CEO at Ainnova and a member of the Board of Directors of AAC . "We feel the joint venture has been a success and both companies have worked well together toward a common goal, so we believe that we can be even more successful and use our resources more effectively as one company to further AI in healthcare."
Under the proposed agreement, Ainnova would roll all of its outstanding equity into the combined public entity — unifying leadership and eliminating structural complexity ahead of a scheduled FDA pre-submission meeting in July .
While final terms of the deal are still being negotiated, both companies say the merger would streamline commercialization and accelerate the rollout of Ainnova's flagship Vision AI technology — a platform already in use across clinical sites in Latin America for the early detection of diabetic retinopathy, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions. The move also signals growing confidence from Avant's leadership as they prepare to bring proprietary hardware into the mix.
In parallel with the merger discussions, Avant and Ainnova are entering the final prototyping stage of a low-cost, automated retinal imaging device — marking a potential turning point in the companies' shared push toward AI-powered early diagnostics.
The new device is designed to operate hands-free and feed imaging data directly into the Vision AI platform, enabling near-instant risk reports without expensive equipment or trained personnel.
The companies say the camera, developed under their joint venture Ai-nova Acquisition Corp. (AAC) , is expected to cost a fraction of legacy fundus cameras. By combining affordability with automation, the device could expand screening access across primary care clinics and emerging-market providers that have traditionally been priced out of ophthalmic diagnostics.
"The cost of a fundus camera has always been a barrier to entry in this market," said Vargas. "Our low-cost camera, which is a fraction of the cost of currently available cameras on the market, should allow us to not only enter the market, but to capture a large share of the market."
Also in development are additional platform modules, including a patented dementia detection tool that combines a five-minute blood test with AI-trained algorithms. Although that technology remains in evaluation, the core platform continues to expand its reach and functionality — evolving from a retinal-focused application into a broader engine for predictive healthcare.
"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," said Vargas in a previous statement . "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."
As the camera prototype nears completion, Avant is positioning itself for broader market entry . While a launch date has yet to be announced, the integrated platform is designed to reduce diagnostic friction, speed up referrals, and expand access to early-stage health insights — especially in geographies where affordability, not innovation, remains the primary barrier to care.
