GuideAI Health Corp. and vRad Renew Data Exclusivity Agreement to Develop AI Models for the Detection and Characterization of Multiple Vascular Diseases

Company holds exclusive access to imaging data from 2,100+ U.S. hospitals through its ongoing data partnership with vRad, the largest teleradiology provider in the United States

BOSTON, Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GuideAI Health Corp. (Cboe CA: GDAI) (FSE: ZN0) ("GuideAI" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the renewal of its data exclusivity agreement with vRad (Virtual Radiologic), which aims to develop artificial intelligence models for the detection and characterization of multiple vascular diseases. The renewed collaboration provides GuideAI with exclusive access to imaging data from more than 2,100 hospitals across the United States, which the Company believes to be one of the largest and most diverse real-world imaging datasets of its kind.

Under the renewed partnership, GuideAI retains exclusive rights to develop AI models using de-identified imaging data generated across vRad’s national network of more than 2,100 hospitals and healthcare facilities. GuideAI’s technology is currently deployed within the workflow of vRad’s approximately 500 radiologists, where it supports the identification of vascular disease at the point of care.

The scale and diversity of vRad’s dataset provide GuideAI with a durable foundation on which to train and validate its algorithms. Building on its work in peripheral arterial disease, the Company intends to expand its platform to the detection and characterization of multiple vascular diseases, with the goal of surfacing disease earlier and supporting more precise, more comprehensive treatment decisions for patients nationwide.

GuideAI Health CEO, Raj Shah, commented, “Renewing our exclusive data collaboration with vRad is a defining moment for GuideAI. Access to imaging data from more than 2,100 hospitals, combined with the trust of the 500 radiologists who already have access to our technology in their daily workflow, gives us an exceptional foundation to build clinically meaningful AI, furthering our aim of helping clinicians catch disease earlier and improve outcomes for patients."
