"I am honored to assume the role of CEO as the Company evolves towards commercialization," said Mr. Capone. "I am also thankful to work alongside a talented team who drive our success every day. Our FDA submission of the DeepView System in June 2025 marked a major milestone for Spectral AI and a critical step forward to providing this innovative and potentially transformative technology.
