Perimeter Medical Imaging AI Enters Systemwide Agreement with Intermountain Health

Agreement paves the way for deployment of Perimeter's advanced intraoperative imaging technology across the Mountain West

TORONTO and DALLAS, Jan. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Inc. (TSXV: PINK) (OTCQX: PYNKF) ("Perimeter" or the "Company"), a commercial-stage medical technology company, announced today an agreement with Intermountain Health, the largest nonprofit healthcare system in the Intermountain West region, to enable the deployment of the company's S-Series OCT (optical coherence tomography) advanced imaging technology for tissue visualization in the operating rooms at Intermountain Health LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City and Intermountain Health American Fork Hospital in American Fork, Utah.

"Perimeter's OCT technology is a valuable tool in my practice because it helps me visualize margins in real-time. This supports more informed surgical decisions," said Dr. Jennifer Tittensor, a breast surgeon at American Fork Hospital. "I'm thrilled that Intermountain Health and Perimeter have partnered to bring this technology to these hospitals."

Intermountain Health has 34 hospitals and 400 clinics in Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, Montana and Wyoming. The agreement enables any Intermountain Health hospital to acquire Perimeter's technology.

"Intermountain Health has a long track record of delivering high-quality care throughout the Intermountain West, reaching patients across an exceptionally diverse set of urban and rural communities," said Perimeter CEO Adrian Mendes. "This collaboration opens the door for Perimeter to extend our technology into states where it has not yet been deployed, while supporting surgeons with advanced imaging tools that aim to enhance surgical decision-making and improve outcomes for the patients they serve."

This systemwide agreement builds on a previously announced Development Support Agreement between Perimeter and Intermountain Health. That agreement set a framework for the two organizations to evaluate the potential value of using Perimeter's OCT technology and to collect additional data to support the continued development of the Company's artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms.
