We are thrilled to be joining the most ambitious transnational Neurodegenerative Study named Bio-Hermes-002, led by Global Alzheimer's Platform Foundation , having secured a £1.2M (~$1.5M) contract from Innovate UK Contracts for Innovation to deploy our Optomics® platform in the groundbreaking Bio-Hermes-002 study 🚀💊 This international research, conducted by Global Alzheimer's Platform Foundation, aims to revolutionize Alzheimer's diagnosis and treatment by evaluating digital and blood-based biomarkers in over 1,000 participants across the US 🇺🇸, Canada 🇨🇦, and the UK 🇬🇧. The Global Alzheimer's Platform Foundation is a US patient-centric institution, partnering with leading philanthropic organizations like Gates Ventures or industry partners such as Roche , to Janssen Inc. or Eli Lilly and Company to accelerate the delivery of innovative therapies for neurological disorders. As part of the study, iLoF will be deploying iLoF’s breakthrough Optomics® platform, its AI-powered technology that combines photonics and multimodal data analysis, providing rapid, non-invasive, and cost-effective screening. In this international expansion, iLoF's US operation will be supported by Luminate Accelerator — the world's largest accelerator for startups specializing in optics, providing strategic capital and access to state-of-the-art lab facilities in Rochester, further advancing the platform deployed in the study. It’s with humbleness and a great sense of responsibility that we join forces with other organizations to accelerate our understanding of this condition, furthering our part in fighting Alzheimer’s ⚡ To learn more about Bio-Hermes-002 and our role in the study, visit the following link: https://lnkd.in/daKKPXZc --- #AlzheimersResearch #HealthTech #Innovation #RevolutionizingHealthcare #startup #PersonalizedMedicine #DiseaseTracking #DigitalHealth #PredictiveAnalysis #AI #Photonics #AllBiomarksHaveAFingerprint #iLoF
