developing innovative solutions that improve brain health outcomes
for patients with neurological and mental disorders, today

the diagnosis and optimization of patient care, we are driven to
improve outcomes for people suffering from brain health
illnesses.”
About FireflyFirefly (NASDAQ:
AIFF) is an Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) company developing
innovative solutions that improve brain health outcomes for
patients with neurological and mental disorders. Firefly’s
FDA-510(k) cleared Brain Network Analytics (BNA™) technology
revolutionizes diagnostic and treatment monitoring methods for
conditions such as depression, dementia, anxiety disorders,
concussions, and ADHD. Over the past 15 years, Firefly has built a
comprehensive database of brain wave tests, securing patent
protection, and achieving FDA clearance. The Company is now
launching BNA™ commercially, targeting pharmaceutical companies
engaged in drug research and clinical trials, as well as medical
practitioners for clinical use.
Brain Network Analytics was developed using
artificial intelligence and machine learning on Firefly’s extensive
proprietary database of standardized, high-definition longitudinal
electroencephalograms (EEGs) of over 17,000 patients representing
twelve disorders, as well as clinically normal patients. BNA™, in
conjunction with an FDA-cleared EEG system, can provide clinicians
with comprehensive insights into brain function. These insights can
enhance a clinician’s ability to accurately diagnose mental and
cognitive disorders and to evaluate what therapy and/or drug is
best suited to optimize a patient’s outcome.
