Arizona Tribune - IGC Pharma Files Utility Patent Applications Covering AI-Based Data Harmonization Architecture Supporting Alzheimer's Research

IGC is developing AHA to support the standardization of heterogeneous Alzheimer's disease datasets, which often vary significantly in schema definitions, variable encodings, and data structures. These inconsistencies can limit cross-cohort analysis and slow both clinical research and AI model development. AHA is being designed as a structured, multi-stage agentic architecture intended to automate dataset alignment and validation across diverse Alzheimer's datasets. The Company has harmonized 15 Alzheimer's-related datasets for internal development purposes and continues to refine the system architecture.

Earlier this year, AHA advanced to the semi-final round of a competitive AI research evaluation program. The Company plans to present additional details regarding AHA's development roadmap at the upcoming ADPD conference.

The filed utility patent applications are intended to protect key elements of AHA's architectural design and harmonization methodologies. IGC believes that scalable dataset harmonization infrastructure may become increasingly important in Alzheimer's research as multi-cohort AI-driven analysis expands.

"While our primary focus remains the completion of the CALMA clinical trial, we believe scalable data harmonization and internal AI capabilities are essential to modern Alzheimer's research," said Ram Mukunda, CEO of IGC Pharma. "AHA is being developed to support research initiatives and, over time, may support potential collaborations, integrations, or licensing opportunities."
