PITTSBURGH, Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Catalyst MedTech today announced the launch of its new Connect program, an initiative that brings together collaborators seeking to advance patient care with the access required to make it possible. Connect leverages Catalyst's unique dual business structure—Equipment Solutions and Clinical Solutions—to deliver customizable pathways that expand access to diagnostic imaging and treatment. Connect ensures innovation has a pathway to reach the patients it was built for.
As part of the launch, Catalyst also announced its first Connect partnership with Algernon Pharmaceuticals Inc. (CSE: AGN) (FRANKFURT: AGW0) (OTCQB: AGNPF), a Canadian publicly traded healthcare company, focused on expanding access to Optimized Brain PET imaging in the United States. By enrolling as a Connect Partner, Algernon is moving forward with its plan to establish the first dedicated network of neuroimaging medical clinics in the United States for the early-stage detection of Alzheimer's. Catalyst is powering this vision with a tailored mix of equipment, service, and support—featuring the Optimized Brain PET solution that combines CareMiBrain™ with the NeuroQ® advanced quantitative workstation. "The vision of Connect is to help finish the story for our partners," said Martin B Shirley, CEO & President of Catalyst MedTech. "Many companies want to make an impact in a specific space — whether in neurology, cardiology, or beyond. Catalyst is the connector that makes those ambitions real by providing the access, expertise, and solutions needed to bridge vision and execution. We connect the dots directly to the patients for their benefit." With millions at risk for Alzheimer's and related conditions, dedicated Brain PET is increasingly recognized as the standard for earlier, more confident diagnosis. The optimized CareMiBrain™ system, exclusively distributed in the U.S. by Catalyst MedTech sets a new benchmark in neurologic imaging. The complete system combines ultra-high resolution imaging within a compact, patient-friendly design with an advanced quantitative neurologic workstation — delivering diagnostic precision and practical scalability for neurology practices, imaging centers, and hospitals.
