DALLAS, April 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Spectral AI, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDAI) (“Spectral AI” or the “Company”), an artificial intelligence (AI) company focused on medical diagnostics for faster and more accurate treatment decisions in wound care, today announced that it has received the “Small Business Innovator Award” at the inaugural Texas Innovation Conference, held on April 22-23, 2026 at the campus of Texas Christian University.
The conference highlighted organizations and thought leaders that are turning research into real-world results, bringing together a select group of high-impact innovators, including startups, researchers, and ecosystem leaders. The Texas Innovation Awards ceremony, the centerpiece of the event, recognized companies and innovators who are driving innovation and economic growth in the State of Texas.
Spectral AI was recognized for its DeepView® System, an AI-driven, predictive diagnostic device and associated software platform that combines multispectral imaging with a proprietary AI algorithm to assess the healing potential of burn wounds. The DeepView System provides clinicians with an immediate, data-driven assessment of whether a burn wound will heal on its own or requires significant medical intervention, enabling earlier and more informed treatment decisions. Spectral AI submitted its De Novo clearance application for the DeepView System to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in June 2025.
Accepting the award on behalf of Spectral AI were Jason Dwight, PhD, Director of Research and Technology Strategy, and Bob Spencer, Manager of Imaging Systems and Hardware Engineering.
“Receiving the Texas Innovation Award is a tremendous honor for our entire team,” said Jason Dwight. “It reflects years of disciplined research, close collaboration with clinicians, and an unwavering commitment translating advanced imaging science into tools that genuinely improve patient outcomes for burn victims. The DeepView System represents exactly the kind of innovation this award was designed to recognize: rigorous, purposeful, and built around real clinical need.”
“We are thrilled to be recognized with this award and honored to be a part of the thriving Texas technology and artificial intelligence ecosystems,” said Vincent Capone, Chief Executive Officer of Spectral AI. “We believe that the DeepView System has the potential to dramatically change the assessment and treatment paradigm for burn wounds, while providing broad access to expert-level care. This award is a true reflection of our team’s shared commitment to excellence.”
