Aclarion Announces Agreement with Weill Cornell Medicine

BROOMFIELD, Colo., April 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aclarion, Inc., (“Aclarion” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ACON, ACONW), a commercial-stage healthcare technology company that is leveraging biomarkers and proprietary augmented intelligence (AI) algorithms to help physicians identify the location of chronic low back pain, announced today it has established a commercial agreement with Weill Cornell Medicine.

The agreement brings Nociscan to Weill Cornell Medicine and Och Spine at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and the multidisciplinary spine team led by triple-board certified physician and Principal Investigator, Jaspal Ricky Singh, MD, who has earned a national reputation for innovation and excellence. The trial is entitled “A Prospective Review of Bone Marrow Aspirate Stem Cell Concentrate (BMAC) for Osteoarthritis and Degenerative Disc Disease,” conducted under IRB Protocol No. 22-06024915.

The purpose of this initial study is to investigate whether the dose and quantity of bone marrow aspirate stem cell concentrate (BMAC) used for the treatment of osteoarthritis and/or Degenerative Disc Disease in the spine has an effect on patient-reported functional outcomes and pain. A subset of spine patients, selected per Dr. Singh’s clinical evaluation, will also be eligible for Nociscan.

“Our team takes a comprehensive approach to the treatment of spinal disorders. Our multidisciplinary approach to treat pain includes physical therapy and various interventional techniques,” said Jaspal Ricky Singh, MD, Vice Chair and Director of Interventional Spine at Weill Cornell Medicine and Rehabilitation Medicine Specialist at Och Spine at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. “Our pioneering research into discogenic low back pain and cBMA (concentrated bone marrow aspirate) is an ideal opportunity to utilize the insights provided by Nociscan.”

Chronic low back pain (cLBP) is a global healthcare problem with approximately 266 million people worldwide suffering from degenerative spine disease and low back pain. ¹ Aclarion’s Nociscan solution is the first evidence-supported SaaS platform to noninvasively help physicians distinguish between painful and nonpainful discs in the lumbar spine. Nociscan objectively quantifies chemical biomarkers demonstrated to be associated with disc pain. When used with other diagnostic tools, Nociscan can provide critical insights into the location of a patient’s low back pain and improves pain and function when all Nociscan-positive discs are treated.
