VANCOUVER, BC, May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Equity Insider News Commentary – A new report from Philips reveals a growing divide between doctors and patients when it comes to AI in healthcare. While 63% of surveyed healthcare professionals believe AI can help improve outcomes, only 48% of patients share that optimism. As researchers explore what’s needed for successful AI adoption in healthcare, major players in tech and biotech are already moving ahead—recent updates have come from Avant Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI), Renovaro Inc. (NASDAQ: RENB), Certara, Inc. (NASDAQ: CERT), CareCloud, Inc. (NASDAQ: CCLD), and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT).

Analysts at MarketsandMarkets expect the AI healthcare sector to grow at a 38.6% CAGR, topping $110 billion by 2030. Accenture goes even further, estimating AI could inject another $461 billion in added value by 2035—amplifying impact across a global healthcare system already on track to surpass $2.26 trillion.

Avant Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI), in partnership with Ainnova Tech, is positioning its Vision AI platform at the forefront of predictive healthcare. The company is in advanced discussions to acquire or exclusively license a patented early disease detection technology that could significantly enhance its diagnostic capabilities. If finalized, the deal would allow Vision AI to generate clinical insights even in the absence of a complete patient dataset—unlocking earlier intervention opportunities and supporting a more proactive model of care.

“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 Vinicio Vargas, CEO at Ainnova and member of the Board of Directors of the joint venture company, Ai-nova Acquisition Corp. (AAC), said of AAC’s aim to continue to add to its portfolio. “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.”

The potential acquisition aligns with Avant and Ainnova’s shared mission to deliver scalable, preventive health tools that merge retinal imaging, vital sign monitoring, and machine learning into one streamlined platform. Vision AI is already positioned as a next-generation diagnostic engine for chronic conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and kidney dysfunction. Now, the joint venture is pushing further—evaluating breakthrough technologies that could detect emerging health issues at a pre-symptomatic stage.

Recent platform updates saw four proprietary algorithms—trained on over 2.3 million real-world clinical cases—fully integrated into Vision AI. The addition of new IP from this proposed deal would mark a significant leap forward, enabling predictive models to extract meaningful signals from even limited patient data.

Avant and Ainnova view this initiative as part of a broader strategy to consolidate breakthrough tools that make early disease detection more scalable, mobile, and applicable across diverse healthcare settings. While a final agreement has yet to be announced, the companies have stated they will keep shareholders informed as developments progress.

In parallel, Avant has entered formal discussions to acquire Ainnova outright—building on their existing alignment under the Ai-nova Acquisition Corp. (AAC) structure. The timing is deliberate, coming just ahead of a planned FDA pre-submission meeting this July. A completed merger would unify operations, reduce internal complexity, and bolster the joint venture’s regulatory readiness as it prepares for 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 center of this initiative is Vision AI—a non-invasive screening platform that integrates retinal imaging, vital sign monitoring, and machine-learning models to flag early indicators of chronic disease. The system targets conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, cardiovascular issues, kidney and liver disorders, and type 2 diabetes. Operated under the AAC structure, the joint venture holds global rights to Vision AI, which has demonstrated over 90% sensitivity in early detection based on research cited by the NIH.

“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 healthcare platforms remain stuck in pilot stages, Avant’s Vision AI is already live across multiple Latin American markets—including Chile, Mexico, and Brazil—where it’s actively being used in clinical settings. These real-world deployments are generating essential data on safety and efficacy, while also providing user feedback that guides ongoing system improvements.

To broaden its diagnostic reach, the Ai-nova joint venture recently integrated four additional algorithms into the platform. Each was trained on a dataset of more than 2.3 million clinical records, enhancing Vision AI’s precision across a wider spectrum of chronic diseases. With active momentum abroad and U.S. regulatory discussions now underway, Avant’s trajectory appears to be moving from early validation toward broader market penetration.

BOSTON, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dutchie, the leading cannabis technology platform powering more than 6,500 dispensaries across North America with more than $100B in transactions processed, today announced Dutchie Consumer AI. Consumer AI is a new suite of four AI products extending Dutchie POS and E-commerce, designed to help cannabis retailers automate the routine, maximize basket size, own their reputation, and convert every touchpoint.

“Cannabis is reaching the same technology inflection point we’ve seen transform every major industry,” said Tim Barash, CEO of Dutchie. “Retailers are under growing pressure to improve profitability, run leaner businesses, and deliver more personalized consumer experiences, all while navigating one of the most complex regulatory environments. They need to be on the bleeding edge on this intense technology shift as consumers experience these tools in their daily lives. Our new Consumer AI suite is designed to remove operational burden, convert more interactions into revenue, and help teams make smarter decisions at scale.”

Dutchie Consumer AI is built directly into the workflows dispensaries already use every day, from inbound calls and e-commerce to checkout and reputation management. Every interaction runs on one customer identity, so the same customer can be supported across phone, online, in-store, and reviews, helping businesses capture more revenue, reduce operational friction, and better manage their brand presence.

The launch includes four integrated products:

Voice AI: Never miss a call or an order. An AI-powered phone receptionist that answers every call, helps customers place orders, confirm pickups, and check hours, directions, live inventory, and daily deals, or hands the call off to staff the moment a person is needed.
 Agentic Commerce: An agentic concierge for every online customer. It acts, it doesn’t just suggest. An AI shopping agent embedded into e-commerce and kiosk experiences that understands intent, builds the cart, and takes customers to checkout. It rebuilds a returning customer’s regular order in one tap from real order history, swaps out-of-stock items for the closest match, and helps new shoppers discover products through natural-language questions like “What’s your best indica for sleep under $40?”. Not a chat window in the bottom right of your screen – a true integrated experience that keeps the fun of shopping for cannabis products but helps you discover more, faster.
 Register Co-Pilot: Every budtender performs like your best one. Built directly into the Dutchie register, Co-Pilot gives every budtender real-time context, including purchase history, smart pairings, upsell recommendations, fast payments, and loyalty prompts, to help budtenders improve consistency, efficiency, and basket size at checkout.
 Consumer Pulse: Hear every customer, in surveys and reviews. A centralized dashboard that unifies first-party customer surveys from digital orders, receipts, and more with public reviews from across the web, surfacing AI-powered sentiment trends, top themes, and actionable alerts that help operators spot issues before they move their star rating, identify product trends, and respond faster to consumer feedback.

Dutchie Consumer AI comes at a pivotal moment for the cannabis industry, as federal rescheduling efforts and broader regulatory momentum begin reshaping how businesses think about long-term growth and operational strategy. As cannabis retail enters a more normalized and increasingly competitive phase, retailers are looking for integrated technology that can simplify day-to-day operations, improve retention, and support stronger margins.

“The future of cannabis retail isn’t about layering on more disconnected tools. It’s about building smarter functionality into the systems businesses already rely on,” said Chris Ostrowski, CTO of Dutchie. “We’re embedding AI into the places where retailers and consumers already engage, helping teams reduce manual work, uncover faster insights, and create more tailored shopping experiences in an increasingly competitive market.”
