Aclarion, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACON, ACONW), a healthcare technology company using biomarkers and augmented intelligence to identify the source of chronic low back pain, announced the appointment of Daniel Keefe as Commercial Director, Western U.S. Keefe will lead commercial efforts across the region, building on Aclarion's existing footprint and supporting continued adoption of Nociscan.
Keefe brings more than 20 years of experience in medical device and healthcare technology sales, including leadership roles at Centinel Spine, Brainlab, Zimmer Biomet, and Intuitive Surgical. Most recently, he served as Regional Sales Manager at Centinel Spine, where he consistently exceeded performance targets and delivered significant year-over-year growth across Northern California.

"Dan brings a proven track record of driving commercial growth and expanding adoption of innovative surgical technologies," said Brent Ness, CEO of Aclarion.

An estimated 266 million people worldwide live with chronic low back pain, making it one of the most pervasive health challenges. Aclarion's Nociscan solution is the first evidence-supported, cloud-based platform to noninvasively help physicians distinguish between painful and nonpainful discs in the lumbar spine. Nociscan objectively quantifies chemical biomarkers demonstrated to be associated with disc pain. When used with other diagnostic tools, Nociscan provides critical insights into the location of a patient's low back pain and demonstrates a 97% surgical success rate when all Nociscan-positive discs are treated.
"I'm excited to join Aclarion at a time when Nociscan is gaining meaningful traction across the clinical community," said Daniel Keefe, Commercial Director, Western U.S. "The ability to provide physicians with objective insight into the source of pain represents a significant advancement in how chronic low back pain is evaluated. I look forward to working with physicians and spine centers across the Western U.S. to expand access to Nociscan and support its continued integration into clinical practice."
Aclarion has established a growing presence across the Western U.S., with engagement spanning both academic institutions and high-volume private practice spine centers, supported by strong volume growth. Keefe's appointment reflects the Company's focus on expanding this momentum and deepening adoption in a key strategic region. For more information on Nociscan, visit www.aclarion.com.
