BROSSARD, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Oct. 8, 2009) - DIAGNOS inc. ("DIAGNOS" or "the Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:ADK), a leader in the use of artificial intelligence and advanced knowledge-extraction techniques, announces today that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding, and associated Non-Disclosure Agreement with Zeiss Canada Ltd., the Canadian subsidiary of Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany, a global leader in the ophthalmic diagnostic equipment market.
Under the terms of the MoU, DIAGNOS and Zeiss will work together to assure compatibility among DIAGNOS' Computer Assisted Retinal Analysis (CARA) technology and Zeiss' fundus camera and associated imaging software VisuPac, as well as jointly engage in pilot projects aimed at testing the integrated Zeiss / DIAGNOS offering in the marketplace.
