SACRAMENTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NeuroVision Imaging Inc. today announced the acquisition of Durin Life Sciences Inc., creating an integrated neurodegenerative disease diagnostics and care platform focused on advancing earlier detection, patient access, and longitudinal brain health management.

The transaction combines Durin’s blood-based biomarker diagnostics platform with NeuroVision’s retinal imaging technology, telehealth infrastructure, and BrainHealth.net patient engagement platform. The combined company will operate under the NeuroVision name and continue to be led by Steven Verdooner, CEO and co-founder of NeuroVision.

Together, the companies aim to accelerate the development and commercialization of innovative diagnostic solutions for Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and related neurological disorders by pairing advanced biomarker science with scalable clinical, data, and patient engagement capabilities.

Durin Life Sciences developed Duritect™, a suite of blood-based diagnostic tests designed to support the early detection and monitoring of neurodegenerative disease. NeuroVision contributes its established BrainHealth.net platform, which supports patients, providers, and healthcare organizations across the United States through telehealth-enabled cognitive assessment, care navigation, and longitudinal brain health programs.

“We’ve long believed that the future of neurodegenerative disease care begins with earlier and more accessible detection,” said Verdooner. “Durin’s blood-based biomarker platform represents an important advancement in that direction. By bringing together complementary strengths in diagnostics, technology and patient engagement, we believe we are uniquely positioned to help advance brain health at scale while supporting patients and families throughout the care journey.”

Ric Edelman, majority owner of Durin, is joining the board of the combined enterprise. He said, “This is a milestone for Durin and for everyone who has been part of our journey, and we’re excited to be joining forces with NeuroVision.”
