Star Metro - Zomedica Expands its TRUVIEW(R) Microscopy Platform with AI Diagnostic Interpretation, Growing its Market Opportunity

ANN ARBOR, MI / ACCESS Newswire / January 23, 2026 / Zomedica Corp. (OTCQB:ZOMDF) ("Zomedica" or the "Company"), an animal health company providing innovative point-of-care diagnostic and therapeutic solutions for equine and companion animals, today announced the integration of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) interpretation capabilities into its TRUVIEW^® AI digital microscopy system.

The AI enhancement expands functionality of the TRUVIEW system by enabling automated interpretation of hematology blood films, with skin and ear cytology to follow shortly. This advance helps veterinary clinics deliver faster and more standardized diagnostic results while improving workflow efficiency. The update is available immediately to existing TRUVIEW subscribers through a software upgrade, with no additional hardware required.

"With this enhancement, the TRUVIEW microscope evolves beyond automated slide preparation into an intelligent diagnostic platform," said William Cambell, Zomedica's Vice President, Imaging, and inventor of the TRUVIEW platform. "By reducing diagnostic turnaround time and improving consistency, we believe AI-enabled interpretation increases the value of the TRUVIEW platform for high-volume veterinary practices while strengthening our competitive position in point-of-care diagnostics. Importantly, this capability is delivered through software, allowing us to expand functionality while leveraging our existing installed base."

Why This Matters to Investors

• Strengthens Platform Differentiation: The addition of AI-powered interpretation expands the TRUVIEW microscope from an automated imaging system into a more comprehensive diagnostic platform, increasing its competitive relevance in the veterinary diagnostics market.

• Supports Adoption and Retention: Faster, more consistent diagnostic workflows address key pain points for high-volume veterinary practices, which may support broader adoption and continued utilization of TRUVIEW^® systems.

• Leverages Installed Base Through Software: The AI functionality is delivered via an over-the-air software update delivered through the myZomedica^® digital technology ecosystem, allowing Zomedica to enhance product capabilities without additional hardware investment, supporting scalability and operating leverage.

• Aligns With Long-Term Margin Expansion: Software-enabled enhancements can improve the overall value proposition of the platform while maintaining a capital-efficient growth profile.

• Reinforces Strategic Focus: This update reflects Zomedica's continued execution on its strategy to build an ecosystem of integrated, point-of-care diagnostic solutions that improve clinical efficiency and workflow economics for veterinary practices.

The TRUVIEW system's AI algorithms analyze complex cellular patterns in near real time. In hematology, the system identifies and classifies blood cells and flags abnormalities associated with conditions such as anemia, infection, and clotting disorders. In skin and ear cytology, commonly used in the diagnosis of dermatologic and otic conditions, the AI detects pathogens and inflammatory markers, reducing manual review and supporting more efficient clinical decision-making.

"AI-driven tools are becoming an essential part of modern veterinary medicine," commented Robert Schick, DVM, DACVD, a board-certified veterinary dermatologist, widely recognized for his dedication to advancing the field of veterinary dermatology. "A more consistent and efficient approach to ear cytology can improve diagnostic confidence, and the AI interpretation provided by the TRUVIEW system for yeast, cocci, and rods is comparable to assessments performed by Board-certified dermatologists." Dr. Schick first encountered the TRUVIEW^® platform while working with the Company to educate veterinarians about Zomedica's TRUFORMA^® diagnostic system.

Key Benefits of the TRUVIEW AI system

• Improved Speed and Efficiency: AI interpretation completes in minutes, aligning with the TRUVIEW scope's existing automated slide preparation cycle.

• Consistency and Standardization: Trained on extensive veterinary datasets, the AI reduces variability and supports repeatable diagnostic results.

• Seamless Platform Integration: Results are delivered through the myZomedica^® platform, with optional telepathology review by Zomedica's network of board-certified pathologists.

• Software-Based Upgrade: No additional hardware required; functionality is delivered through an over-the-air update to existing systems.

The AI enhancement builds on the TRUVIEW platform's established capabilities, including fully automated slide preparation and high-definition imaging for hematology and cytology samples such as fine needle aspirates, skin scrapes, ear swabs, and other specimen types. Zomedica continues to expand its diagnostic portfolio to support veterinary professionals in delivering timely, high-quality care while improving practice efficiency.
