AI technologies hold transformative potential in various areas including medical imaging analysis, predictive analytics, personalized treatment planning, and drug discovery, potentially transforming conventional healthcare practices. A report from Grand View Research said the global AI in healthcare market size, which was estimated at USD 19.27 billion in 2023, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 38.5% from 2024 to 2030. The report said: "Mergers & acquisitions (M&As) play a significant role in shaping the healthcare AI market landscape. Companies [that] engage in M&A activities to expand their AI software and services increase their market reach or acquire specialized technology and expertise. End-users are becoming increasingly aware of the potential benefits of AI in improving patient care, operational efficiency, and healthcare outcomes. Education initiatives and industry events helped raise awareness about the capabilities and applications of AI in healthcare." A.I. companies active in the markets include: Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI), Teladoc Health, Inc. (NYSE: TDOC), Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEM), Medtronic plc (NYSE: MDT), Clover Health Investments, Corp. (NASDAQ: CLOV).
Grand View Research continued: "The software solution component segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR of 38.7% over the forecast period. The segment growth is attributed to the rapidly growing adoption of AI-based software solutions among healthcare providers, payers, and patients… The services component segment is anticipated to witness significant growth from 2024 to 2030. The growth of this segment can be attributable to the rising penetration of AI-based technologies in several healthcare applications, such as clinical trials , virtual assistants, robot-assisted surgeries, dosage error reduction, and fraud detection.

These factors are driving the segment growth."
Avant Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI) and Ainnova Advancing Proprietary Retinal Camera to Market with Vision AI Software - Avant Technologies, Inc. ("Avant" or the "Company"), and its partner Ainnova Tech, Inc. (Ainnova), a leading healthcare technology company focused on revolutionizing early disease detection using artificial intelligence (AI), today announced the companies will advance Ainnova's proprietary low-cost retinal camera, which will be used for fundus photography, and seamlessly packaged together with Ainnova's Vision AI software platform for commercialization. By combining the two technologies, Ainnova's versatile camera will provide precise retinal scans to its AI software leading to even more accurate data.
Vision AI is a powerful cutting-edge, AI-driven platform that can quickly and accurately detect the early markers of a host of diseases by applying AI models to examine imaging data from the eye to expedite earlier detection and allow patients to better manage their disease. The diseases that Vision AI can detect include diabetic retinopathy and other retinopathies, such as glaucoma, macular edema, age-related macular degeneration and other anomalies, as well as other diseases that do not require retinal images, and instead use other datapoints that Ainnova will integrate into the software like the detection of kidney disease, liver fat, cardiovascular risk, and pre-diabetes.
Currently, Ainnova's Vision AI software works well with any fundus camera on the market; however, Ainnova and Avant are aiming for exclusivity by developing a lower-cost, easier-to-use camera that captures retinal images automatically and then uploads those images to the Vision AI software platform, which then produces a "risk report" in mere seconds. Ai-nova Acquisition Corp. (AAC), the company formed by the partnership between Avant and Ainnova, will develop the retinal cameras as part of the joint venture and licensing deal to facilitate the development of Ainnova's technology portfolio. AAC owns the licensing rights to develop, maintain, and market Ainnova's technology portfolio in both North America (United States and Canada) and throughout Europe.
Vinicio Vargas, Chief Executive Officer of Ainnova and member of AAC's Board of Directors, said, "The cost of a fundus camera has always been a barrier to entry into ... this market, so our low-cost camera should allow us to not only enter the market but to capture a large share of the market. To that end, I will be meeting with a leading U.S. provider of digital healthcare solutions to discuss a potential distribution agreement, investment, and regulatory support."
AAC will market the two technologies as a Software as a Service (SaaS) + retinal camera package with the hope of making retinal scans a part of routine healthcare. The business model is a pay-per-use platform, per patient, monthly, aimed at primary care clinics, insurance companies, opticians, pharmacies, occupational health companies that provide the service to employees of many companies, and pharmaceutical companies that sell the treatments or therapies.
Vinicio Vargas added, "Our vision is that the retina will be a new standard in primary care, as basic as taking a patient's blood pressure, and together with other datapoints, such as demographic data or laboratory results, to generate a complete report of preventive medicine."

New Smart MDI system will be the first system to deliver real-time, personalized insights on when and how much to dose including for missed or inaccurate mealtime doses.
Medtronic plc (NYSE: MDT), a global leader in healthcare technology, today announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for its new InPen™ app featuring missed meal dose detection, paving the way for the launch of its Smart MDI system with the Simplera™ continuous glucose monitor (CGM). The company's Smart MDI system combines its InPen™ smart insulin pen with its newest Simplera™ CGM — the company's first disposable, all-in-one CGM that's half the size of previous Medtronic CGMs.
With this clearance, the system will be the first in the market to recommend corrections for missed or inaccurate insulin doses, providing real-time, personalized insights for individuals on multiple daily injection (MDI) therapy.
For people with diabetes who need daily insulin injections, bolusing before a meal is essential as it helps regulate glucose levels and prevent blood sugar spikes after eating. Minimizing the frequency of these glucose highs reduces the risk of both short- and long-term complications and supports better overall health. However, it's estimated that individuals living with diabetes regularly miss 1 out of 3 doses. The Missed Dose alert function helps to minimize the frequency of these glucose highs. 1 The Medtronic Smart MDI system reduces the guesswork out of diabetes management, helping to address a significant unmet need for MDI users who struggle with juggling numerous decisions related to insulin dosing on a daily basis.
"I'm thrilled about the launch of the Medtronic Smart MDI system with the InPen™ app and Simplera™ CGM. This is a significant leap forward for those on multiple daily injections, offering intelligent dosing insights and simplifying diabetes management," said Diana Isaacs , PharmD, BCPS, BCACP, BC-ADM, CDCES, FADCES, FCCP. "By reducing the guesswork out of insulin dosing, this tool helps maintain stable blood sugars, optimize long-term health, and reduce complications from hyperglycemia." 2,3
Medtronic will initiate a limited market release beginning with existing standalone CGM and InPen™ customers followed by a broad commercial launch.

Including Other revenue and the impact of foreign currency exchange, if recent foreign currency exchange rates hold, FY25 revenue growth on an adjusted basis would be in the range of 3.4% to 3.9%.
The company raised its FY25 diluted non-GAAP EPS guidance to the new range of $5.44 to $5.50 versus the prior $5.42 to $5.50 . This includes an estimated -5% impact from foreign currency exchange based on recent rates, unchanged from the prior guidance. The company's guidance represents FY25 diluted non-GAAP EPS growth in the range of 4.6% to 5.8%.
"We're restoring our earnings power through our focus on underlying margin improvement, delivering another quarter of high-single digit constant currency adjusted EPS growth," said Gary Corona , Medtronic interim chief financial officer. "And now, as the impact from foreign currency abates, we expect to report high-single digit adjusted EPS growth in the back half of our fiscal year, in line with our long-term commitment to deliver durable, mid-single digit organic revenue growth with EPS leverage."

Today, Medtronic released its FY24 Impact Report demonstrating the company's sustainability progress. Medtronic also launched a new Impact webpage and FY24 Highlights Report featuring notable key performance indicators and stories, as well as an online Data Hub that shows the company's commitment to transparent disclosure and reporting:

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to risks and uncertainties, including risks related to competitive factors, difficulties and delays inherent in the development, manufacturing, marketing and sale of medical products, government regulation, geopolitical conflicts, general economic conditions, and other risks and uncertainties described in the company's periodic reports on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission including the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K of the company. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words or expressions, such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "looking ahead," "may," "plan," "possible," "potential," "project," "should," "going to," "will," and similar words or expressions, the negative or plural of such words or expressions and other comparable terminology. Actual results may differ materially from anticipated results. Medtronic does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements or any of the information contained in this press release, including to reflect future events or circumstances.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This press release contains financial measures, including adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, and organic revenue, which are considered "non-GAAP" financial measures under applicable SEC rules and regulations. References to quarterly or annual figures increasing, decreasing or remaining flat are in comparison to fiscal year 2024, and references to sequential changes are in comparison to the prior fiscal quarter.
Medtronic management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding the company's underlying operational performance and trends and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of other companies in the med tech industry. Non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS exclude the effect of certain charges or gains that contribute to or reduce earnings but that result from transactions or events that management believes may or may not recur with similar materiality or impact to operations in future periods (Non-GAAP Adjustments). Medtronic generally uses non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management's review of the operational performance of the company and as a basis for strategic planning. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and investors are cautioned that Medtronic may calculate non-GAAP financial measures in a way that is different from other companies. Management strongly encourages investors to review the company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the financial schedules accompanying this press release.
Medtronic calculates forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. For instance, forward-looking organic revenue growth guidance excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, as well as significant acquisitions or divestitures. Forward-looking diluted non-GAAP EPS guidance also excludes other potential charges or gains that would be recorded as Non-GAAP Adjustments to earnings during the fiscal year. Medtronic does not attempt to provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP EPS guidance to projected GAAP EPS guidance because the combined impact and timing of recognition of these potential charges or gains is inherently uncertain and difficult to predict and is unavailable without unreasonable efforts. In addition, the company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of financial performance.

Knight Therapeutics Inc. (TSX: GUD) ("Knight"), a pan-American (ex-USA) specialty pharmaceutical company, announced today that Health Canada has approved JORNAY PM ™, an extended-release formulation of methylphenidate, a stimulant medication for the treatment of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children.
JORNAY PM ™ is the first and only evening-dosed methylphenidate product commercially available in Canada to treat ADHD in patients from 6 to 12 years of age. JORNAY PM ™ consists of microbeads with a delayed-release layer and an extended-release layer. The first layer delays the release of the active ingredient until morning while the extended-release layer controls the release of the active ingredient starting in the morning and continuing throughout the day. This unique formulation provides a pharmacokinetic profile that allows ADHD symptom control from the time patients wake up until the evening.
"As a psychiatrist who treats ADHD, I find the introduction of JORNAY PM ™ particularly exciting because its distinct mechanism of delivery addresses one of the most difficult aspects of ADHD management—early morning functioning. JORNAY PM ™ offers an effective treatment that assists in better morning routines. This new treatment is a welcome addition to the growing options available for ADHD management in Canada", said Dr. Doron Almagor (MD, FRCPC) Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatrist.
JORNAY PM ™ was studied in two multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 clinical trials 1,2 . Both studies met their primary and key secondary endpoints demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in ADHD symptom control upon awakening, through the afternoon, and into the early evening .
"I am proud to announce the approval of JORNAY PM ™ in Canada. This exciting new launch, expected in the second half of 2025, represents a significant advancement for our Canadian business as we continue to expand our offerings for ADHD treatment," said Samira Sakhia, President and CEO of Knight. "Following this approval, we are building a well-rounded ADHD portfolio with a range of complementary therapies that address diverse patient needs and offer greater support for their families."
In May 2024, Knight entered into an agreement with Ironshore Pharmaceuticals & Development, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Ironshore Therapeutics, Inc. (now part of Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc.; Nasdaq: COLL), for the exclusive rights to distribute JORNAY PM ™ in Canada and Latin America.
According to IQVIA Canada, the total Canadian market of extended-release methylphenidate products was $469 million in 2023, with an 8.1% increase in prescriptions compared to 2022 and a 16% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past four years.
About ADHD 3
ADHD is a chronic, often lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults. The estimated prevalence of ADHD is 5-9% in children and adolescents and 3-5% in adults. 3 The disorder is characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that can significantly impact an individual's ability to function in daily life. Although patients' symptoms of ADHD can change over time, they will generally require continued monitoring and treatment over their lifetime. Current first-line pharmacotherapies for ADHD include long-acting methylphenidate or amphetamine-based psychostimulants and non-stimulants. Individual products for both differ in their delivery systems and release profiles to provide distinct durations of effect. However, not all patients derive adequate symptom coverage with currently available therapies. As a result, there remains a significant medical need for additional treatment options for patients with ADHD.
