Imaging Biometrics and QMENTA announce a partnership to increase accuracy in research.

Imaging Biometrics®, LLC ("IB"), a subsidiary of Flying Brands Limited (LON:FBDU), announces today that it has entered into a partnership to accelerate neuroscience research and increase accuracy in diagnostics support. Imaging Biometrics will integrate all IB modules; IB Neuro, IB Delta T1 Maps, IB Diffusion, and IB DCE onto the cloud-based QMENTA platform that provides advanced data analysis and management for neuro experts.

The integration of IB's software is the first FDA cleared option on the QMENTA platform to be uploaded via its Software Development Kit ("SDK"). The SDK has been developed by QMENTA's engineers to enable third party companies or researchers with algorithms to integrate them on the platform to easily share them with the neuroscience community. This goes along with QMENTA's aim to bolster collaboration, whether it be between researchers, neurologists, developers, or even with other companies.

Quote from Imaging Biometrics' CEO, Michael Schmainda

"Our partnership with QMENTA enables efficient and immediate access to our quantitative imaging solutions to those involved in clinical trials and research. It is exciting to be part of QMENTA's neuro-centric platform and helping advance the understanding of neurological disorders."

Quote from QMENTA's CEO, Paulo Rodrigues, PhD

"We are very proud of this new partnership as it is the first FDA cleared tool we will be implementing on our SDK. We believe this partnership will improve our customers' satisfaction, because they know they can trust and rely on powerful and efficient tools such as the ones that Imaging Biometrics is developing."
