Current report
AI Nose is a developing platform, and we may be unable to successfully generate meaningful revenue.
Current report
AI Nose is an artificial intelligence–based scent digitization platform that is still under development and early commercialization. Although we have conducted pilot deployments and early-stage commercial implementations, we have not yet established a significant history of large-scale commercial adoption, recurring revenue, or long-term customer retention for AI Nose. As a result, our ability to predict demand, pricing, renewal rates, and long-term profitability for this platform is limited.
Current report
The commercialization of AI Nose may require substantial additional investment in product development, hardware, software, personnel, customer support, and sales and marketing. There can be no assurance that these investments will result in increased adoption or revenue. If AI Nose fails to achieve meaningful market acceptance or if commercialization efforts are delayed or unsuccessful, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Current report
The market for AI-enabled scent digitization and SmellTech solutions may not develop as we expect.
Current report
The market for AI-powered scent detection, classification, and interpretation remains nascent. Potential customers may not recognize scent as a valuable data modality or may choose not to adopt SmellTech solutions. If this market fails to develop, develops more slowly than expected, or adopts alternative technologies, demand for AI Nose may be limited. In addition, the size, growth rate, and long-term demand for this market are difficult to predict. Customers may choose to rely on traditional sensing technologies, alternative analytical methods, or internal processes rather than adopting AI Nose. If the market for AI-enabled scent digitization fails to develop, develops more slowly than we expect, or evolves in a way that does not favor our platform, our ability to grow AI Nose–related revenue could be materially limited.
Current report
AI Nose may fail to achieve acceptable accuracy, reliability, or performance across use cases and environments.
Current report
AI Nose integrates sensor hardware, software, cloud connectivity, and artificial intelligence models, and its performance depends on numerous variables, including environmental conditions, data quality, calibration, and model training. The platform may not perform as expected in all environments or applications, including healthcare-adjacent or industrial settings, and may require additional development, retraining, or customization to achieve acceptable results.
Current report
Our AI Nose platform may contain undetected errors, defects, or limitations that could impair adoption or result in liability.
Current report
Due to the complexity of the AI Nose platform, errors, defects, or limitations may not be identified until after deployment. These issues may arise from hardware components, software code, data processing pipelines, model training methodologies, or interactions with third-party systems. In some cases, errors may only become apparent after extended use or under specific conditions. Any such defects or failures could result in inaccurate outputs, operational disruptions, or customer dissatisfaction. In addition, errors in AI Nose outputs could expose us to warranty claims, contractual disputes, or other legal liabilities. Addressing these issues may require significant resources and may not fully mitigate the impact on customer confidence or market perception.
Current report
The performance of AI Nose depends on data collection and model training, which may be insufficient or ineffective.
Current report
AI Nose relies on the collection and labeling of scent and volatile organic compound data to train and improve its artificial intelligence models. We may face challenges in obtaining sufficient quantities of high-quality, representative data across diverse environments and use cases. Data collected from limited deployments may not adequately reflect broader operating conditions.
Current report
If the data used to train or refine AI Nose models is incomplete, biased, or otherwise inadequate, the platform’s performance may be limited or inconsistent. In addition, collecting, storing, and managing scent data may be time-consuming and costly. Any inability to effectively build or maintain suitable datasets could adversely affect the accuracy, scalability, and commercial viability of AI Nose.
Current report
Customers may be unwilling or unable to integrate AI Nose into existing systems or workflows.
Current report
AI Nose is designed to integrate with customer infrastructure, operational processes, and third-party systems. Customers may face technical, operational, regulatory, or cost-related barriers to adoption. Integration challenges, deployment complexity, or the need for additional customization may reduce adoption or delay commercial rollout.
Current report
Expansion into industrial and other non-healthcare environments may expose AI Nose to new and unforeseen risks.
Current report
While AI Nose was initially developed in healthcare-related settings, we are expanding its use into industrial and other environments. These environments may present conditions, requirements, or risks that differ materially from earlier use cases, including increased expectations for reliability, safety, or uptime. Failures or performance issues in such environments could have more significant operational or financial consequences.
Current report
Our AI Nose platform is highly technical and may contain undetected errors, which could cause harm to our reputation and adversely affect our business.
Current report
Our AI Nose platform is highly technical and complex and, when deployed, may contain errors or defects. Despite testing, some errors in our products and services may only be discovered after they have been installed and used by customers. Any errors or defects discovered in our AI Nose platform after commercial release could result in failure to achieve market acceptance, loss of revenue or delay in revenue recognition, loss of customers, and increased service and warranty cost, any of which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, we could face claims for product liability, tort, or breach of warranty. The performance of our products and services could have unforeseen or unknown adverse effects on the networks over which they are delivered as well as on third-party applications and services that utilize our products and services, which could result in legal claims against us, harming our business. Furthermore, we expect to provide implementation, consulting, and other technical services in connection with the implementation and ongoing maintenance of AI Nose, which typically involves working with sophisticated software, computing systems, and communications systems. Defending a lawsuit, regardless of its merit, is costly and may divert our management’s attention and adversely affect the market’s perception of us and our products and services. In addition, if our business liability insurance coverage proves inadequate or future coverage is unavailable on acceptable terms or at all, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely impacted.
Current report
Our reliance on third-party components and cloud infrastructure could disrupt AI Nose operations, and any errors, disruption, performance problems, or failure in their or our operational infrastructure could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Current report
AI Nose depends on third-party hardware components, cloud service providers, and connectivity. Interruptions, changes in service terms, outages, or failures of these third parties could impair the performance or availability of AI Nose, delay deployments, or increase costs, any of which could adversely affect customer relationships and adoption. We may have limited ability to control or influence the performance, security, or reliability of these third parties.
Current report
Our systems and the third-party systems upon which we and our customers rely are also vulnerable to damage or interruption from catastrophic occurrences such as earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunication failures, cybersecurity threats, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, public health crises, geopolitical and similar events, or acts of misconduct. Despite any precautions we may take, the occurrence of a catastrophic disaster or other unanticipated problems at our or our third-party vendors’ hosting facilities, or within our systems or the systems of third parties upon which we rely, could result in interruptions, performance problems, or failure of our infrastructure, technology, or software, which may adversely impact our business. In addition, our ability to conduct normal business operations could be severely affected. In the event of significant physical damage to one of these facilities, it may take a significant period of time to achieve full resumption of our services, and our disaster recovery planning may not account for all eventualities. In addition, any negative publicity arising from these disruptions could harm our reputation and brand and adversely affect our business.
Current report
We rely on the availability of licenses to third-party technology that may be difficult to replace or that may cause errors or delay implementation of our software and services should we not be able to continue or obtain a commercially reasonable license to such technology.
Current report
Our products may include intellectual property licensed from third parties. It may be necessary in the future to renew licenses relating to various aspects of these software or to seek new licenses for existing or new software or other products. There can be no assurance that the necessary licenses would be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Third parties may terminate their licenses with us for a variety of reasons, including actual or perceived failures or breaches of security or privacy, or reputational concerns, or they may choose not to renew their licenses with us. In addition, we may be subject to liability if third-party software that we license is found to infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate intellectual property or privacy rights of others. The loss of, or inability to obtain, certain third-party licenses or other rights or to obtain such licenses or rights on favorable terms, or the need to engage in litigation regarding these matters, could result in product roll-backs, delays in product releases until equivalent technology can be identified, licensed or developed, if at all, and integrated into our software, and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Moreover, the inclusion in our software of software or other intellectual property licensed from third parties on a nonexclusive basis could limit our ability to differentiate our software from products of our competitors and could inhibit our ability to provide the current level of service to existing customers.
Current report
In addition, any data that we license from third parties for potential use in our software may contain errors or defects, which could negatively impact the analytics that our customers perform on or with such data. This may have a negative impact on how our software is perceived by our current and potential customers and could materially damage our reputation and brand.
Current report
Changes in or the loss of third-party licenses could lead to our software becoming inoperable or the performance of our software being materially reduced resulting in our potentially needing to incur additional research and development costs to ensure continued performance of our software or a material increase in the costs of licensing, and we may experience decreased demand for our software.
Current report
Issues in the use of AI in our software may result in reputational harm or liability.
Current report
AI is enabled by or integrated into AI Nose and is a significant and potentially growing element of our business. As with many developing technologies, AI presents risks and challenges that could affect its further development, adoption, and use, and therefore our business. AI algorithms may be flawed. Datasets may be insufficient, of poor quality, or contain biased information. Inappropriate or controversial data practices by data scientists, engineers, and end-users of our systems could impair the acceptance of AI solutions. The rapid evolution of AI and its evolving regulatory landscape may also require additional resources to develop, test and maintain our platforms and products to help ensure that AI is implemented appropriately in order to minimize unintended or harmful impact, which may be costly and may not produce the benefits and results that we expect. If the recommendations, forecasts, or analyses that AI applications assist in producing are deficient or inaccurate, we could be subjected to competitive harm, potential legal liability, and brand or reputational harm. Some AI scenarios present ethical issues. Though our technologies and business practices are designed to mitigate many of these risks, if we enable or offer AI solutions that are controversial because of their purported or real impact on human rights, privacy, employment, or other social issues, we may experience brand or reputational harm.

Previous report
Our stock price has in the past and may in the future fail to meet minimum requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our ability to publicly or privately sell equity securities and the liquidity of our common stock could be adversely affected if we are delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market or if we are unable to transfer our listing to another stock market.
Previous report
On July 15, 2024, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock has been below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Nasdaq deficiency letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, and its common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “AIMD” at this time. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been given 180 calendar days, or until January 13, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time before January 13, 2025, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written confirmation that the Company has achieved compliance. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by January 13, 2025, the Company may be afforded a second 180 calendar day period to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, except for the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In addition, the Company would be required to notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. If the Company meets these requirements, Nasdaq will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days. However, if it appears to Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s securities are subject to delisting. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq Listing Rules. On July 19,2024 the Company filed a Form 8-K with the SEC disclosing the herein matters.
Previous report
On January 14, 2025, the Company received written notification from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it had received another 180-day extension, until July 14, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

Previous wording
We are focused on product development and have generated $20,321 and $256 in revenues from pet supplements sales and $408 and $102,256 in revenues from COVID 19 antigen rapid test kits in 2024 and 2023, respectively. We expect to continue to incur operating losses until we are able to commercialize or license our other products. These operating losses have adversely affected and are likely to continue to adversely affect our working capital, total assets and stockholders’ equity. We have generated operating losses of $13,841,204 and $13,206,396 in the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had cumulative losses of $52,749,316 and $37,886,155, respectively. We expect to make substantial expenditures and incur increasing operating costs in the future and our accumulated deficit will increase significantly as we expand development and clinical trial activities for our product candidates. Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we are unable to predict the extent of any future losses, whether we will ever generate significant revenues or if we will ever achieve or sustain profitability.

Previous wording
We are a company primarily focused on product development and our product revenues may not be sufficient to fund our operations. Until, and if, we receive approval from the TFDA, FDA and other regulatory authorities for our product candidates, our revenues generated from products may be limited. We had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.9 million as of December 31, 2024, and we will need to continue to seek capital from time to time to capitalize the development and commercialization of our product candidates and to acquire and develop other product candidates. Our actual capital requirements will depend on many factors. For instance, our business or operations may change in a manner that would consume available funds more rapidly than anticipated and substantial additional funding may be required to maintain operations, fund expansion, develop new or enhanced products, acquire complementary products, business or technologies or otherwise respond to competitive pressures and opportunities, such as a change in the regulatory environment or a change in disease treatment modalities. If we experience unanticipated cash requirements, we may need to seek additional sources of financing, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.

Previous wording
Any current or future product candidates, including medical device products, we may develop and the activities associated with their development and commercialization, including their design, testing, manufacture, recordkeeping, labeling, storage, approval, advertising, promotion, sale, and distribution, are subject to comprehensive regulation by the FDA and other regulatory authorities in the United States and by comparable authorities in Taiwan and other countries. Failure to obtain marketing approval for a product candidate will prevent us from commercializing the product candidate in a given jurisdiction. It is possible that some of our current or future product candidates will not obtain regulatory approval in the jurisdiction we are targeting. We have limited experience in filing and supporting the applications necessary to gain marketing approvals, but we expect to rely on third-party CROs or regulatory consultants to assist us in this process. Securing regulatory approval requires the submission of extensive applications to the various regulatory authorities. Product candidates we develop may not be effective or may prove to have adverse characteristics that may preclude our obtaining marketing approval or prevent or limit commercial use.
