Nociscan objectively quantifies chemical biomarkers demonstrated to be associated with disc pain. Biomarker data is entered into proprietary algorithms to highlight if a disc may be a source of pain. When used with other diagnostic tools, Nociscan provides critical insights into the location of a patient’s low back pain, giving physicians clarity to optimize treatment strategies.

“When adding KOLs to our program, we are seeking individuals with unique areas of expertise and motivation,” said Ryan Bond, Chief Strategy Officer at Aclarion. “Dr. Basil has expressed a keen interest in adding to our body of clinical evidence and is in a great position at the University of Miami to accomplish that objective.
