Key Terms

rheumatology, clinical guidelines, evidence-based, regulatory considerations
4 terms
rheumatology medical
"The Phase 2 evaluation follows the successful completion of Phase 1 rheumatology testing"
A medical specialty that diagnoses and treats disorders of the joints, muscles, bones and immune system, such as arthritis, lupus and other inflammatory conditions. Investors care because advances in rheumatology—new drugs, diagnostic tests or treatment guidelines—can change demand, pricing and long-term healthcare costs for companies in pharmaceuticals, biotech and medical devices, much like a breakthrough part changes performance and value for an entire car model line.
clinical guidelines medical
"leverages trusted medical literature, clinical guidelines, and other authoritative sources"
Clinical guidelines are systematically developed recommendations from medical experts that outline the best ways to diagnose, treat, and manage specific health conditions; think of them as a trusted recipe or roadmap for doctors to follow. Investors care because these guidelines shape which tests, drugs, and devices become standard practice, driving demand, pricing, and insurance coverage — changes that can significantly affect a healthcare company's revenue and market value.
evidence-based medical
"to support evidence-based clinical information retrieval"
An approach or decision grounded in objective, verifiable data and repeatable results rather than intuition, anecdotes, or untested claims. For investors it means a product, treatment, or strategy is supported by tests, studies, or measurable performance—like picking a car because crash tests show it’s safe—so the claim is less likely to be wishful thinking and better suited for evaluating risk and potential return. It reduces uncertainty but does not guarantee success.
regulatory considerations regulatory
"Subject to future evaluation results, regulatory considerations and commercial agreements"
Regulatory considerations are the laws, permits, approvals and ongoing compliance rules that affect a company’s products, operations and finances. Like road rules for a driver, they determine what a company can do, how quickly it can reach the market, and what costs or penalties it may face; for investors this matters because regulatory hurdles, delays or violations can change expected revenue, increase costs, raise legal risk and alter a company’s valuation.

Following successful Phase 1 rheumatology testing, Skye Salud advances to Phase 2 evaluation in primary care.

WILMINGTON, Del. and MEXICO CITY, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Brand Engagement Network, Inc. (Nasdaq: BNAI) ("BEN"), a provider of enterprise-grade artificial intelligence solutions for the engagement layer of AI, today announced the advancement of Skye Salud to Phase 2 of its clinical evaluation program in Mexico.

Developed through a collaboration among BEN, Grupo Skye, and KNOBLOCH Information Group, Skye Salud is an AI-powered medical evidence platform that leverages trusted medical literature, clinical guidelines, and other authoritative sources to support evidence-based clinical information retrieval.

The initiative combines BEN's enterprise-grade AI capabilities, Grupo Skye's leadership in AI innovation across Latin America, and KNOBLOCH Information Group's longstanding presence and trusted relationships within Mexico's healthcare community. Together, the organizations are evaluating how AI-powered access to trusted medical evidence may help improve access to clinical information across healthcare settings in Mexico and Latin America.

The Phase 2 evaluation follows the successful completion of Phase 1 rheumatology testing conducted in a controlled evaluation environment. The initial evaluation assessed platform performance across specialty-specific clinical scenarios, evidence traceability, response quality and source transparency.

Building on those results, the Phase 2 evaluation will expand testing into primary care use cases, where the platform will be assessed across a broader range of clinical topics and physician information needs. The expanded evaluation includes Spanish-language clinical content optimized for the Mexican healthcare environment.

Mexico represents one of the largest healthcare markets in Latin America, creating a significant opportunity to evaluate AI-enabled access to trusted medical evidence at scale. The expansion of the evaluation program into primary care is intended to provide additional insight into platform performance, content coverage, usability, and future development opportunities.

The initiative reflects BEN's broader strategy of developing governed, enterprise-grade AI solutions for regulated industries where accuracy, transparency, accountability, and human engagement are critical.

Phase 1 rheumatology testing was conducted under the guidance of Dr. Ruy Carrasco, Chief Medical Information Officer of Skye Salud and BEN Board Member. The evaluation focused on assessing the platform's ability to generate accurate, cited responses grounded in trusted medical evidence sources.

"Completion of our Phase 1 rheumatology evaluation represents an important milestone for the Skye Salud initiative," said Tyler Luck, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of BEN. "The Phase 1 evaluation provided valuable insight into platform performance, evidence traceability and response quality across rheumatology use cases. As we enter Phase 2, we are expanding the evaluation into primary care to assess performance across a broader range of clinical questions and use cases."

"Our focus remains on testing, validation and continuous improvement," Luck continued. "The collaboration among BEN, Grupo Skye and KNOBLOCH Information Group creates a unique opportunity to evaluate how trusted medical evidence can be surfaced more efficiently through AI while maintaining transparency, accountability and rigorous evidence standards. Insights generated through these evaluations will help guide future platform development and potential commercialization opportunities."

"The initial pilot within the domain of Rheumatology served as a critical baseline to validate the platform's response architecture, specifically concerning clinical rigor and evidence tractability," noted Dr. Ruy Carrasco, Chief Medical Information Officer of Skye Salud.
"Extending this evaluation framework into Primary Care allows for the stress-testing of performance metrics across a more heterogeneous spectrum of clinical presentations. Crucially, this expansion will be executed without compromising the stringent evidence thresholds or the source transparency protocols established during the foundational Phase 1 testing."

The Phase 2 primary care evaluation serves a dual strategic purpose: assessing the platform's clinical coverage and evidence-support capabilities across broader care scenarios while generating actionable insights to inform future product development and commercialization planning.

Subject to future evaluation results, regulatory considerations and commercial agreements, BEN, Grupo Skye, KNOBLOCH Information Group and other healthcare ecosystem participants may explore opportunities to broaden clinical coverage, expand Spanish-language medical content and evaluate potential future applications of the platform within healthcare settings across Mexico and Latin America.
