Health-technology news site CyberMed News spotlights CereScan as one of six Colorado health companies making a positive impact.
When it comes to digital health news and trends, CyberMed News is quickly becoming the leader in reporting on cutting-edge developments in the digital health community. So, we are excited to be featured twice last week on the media company’s website.
Recently, CyberMed News’ contributing editor, John Michael Oro visited CereScan’s facility in Littleton, Colorado, for an up-close look at our advanced imaging center and to sit down with CEO and Chairman John Kelley.
In the article, “Harnessing The Big Data of Medical Imaging to Reveal the Brain’s Inner Workings,” CyberMed News spotlights CereScan’s convergence of medical data and qSPECT brain imaging to improve the diagnoses of complex brain disorders. Here’s an excerpt from the article:
When John Kelley, the CEO of Colorado-based CereScan, left his previous position as the head of the global data company McDATA after it was acquired in 2007, he immediately began looking for his next big opportunity. The moment he learned about CereScan, a cutting edge brain imaging startup tucked away in Littleton, Colorado, he realized he had found an opportunity even bigger than he had expected.
“I was shocked by the tools and capabilities that were just sitting there,” Kelley told CyberMed News during a recent interview. “I walked into it from the data side and thought, ‘Do you know what you have here?”
What Cerescan had was a novel approach to medical imaging that harnessed the huge amount of data produced by traditional imaging systems to generate mathematical models that represented the brain in ways never before possible.
“The machines today – MRI, CT, PET, SPECT – are all basically high powered computers. Clinicians call them cameras, but they don’t really take pictures. Instead, they produce various forms of data and represent them visually.”
Under Kelley’s guidance, the startup began applying the best practices of what was then the newly emerging field of big data to refine CereScan’s software, which minutely analyzed the deluge of information generated by common medical imaging systems to allow clinicians to better diagnose and monitor a range of conditions, including traumatic brain injury, PTSD and Alzheimer’s disease.
“The mission of CereScan is to take the best of imaging, the best of data, and the best clinical practices, and combine them to give treating physicians the most sophisticated and accurate information to treat brain disorders.”

Additionally, CyberMed News also named CereScan as one of six Colorado health companies at Colorado Impact Days making a positive impact on the health of Coloradans. CyberMed News notes CereScan’s revolutionary platform is representing “the human brain in ways never before possible.” To read the full article, click here.
