In addition to their functional benefits, PittMoss’s substitutes offer significant environmental advantages. By reducing reliance on peat moss, PittMoss contributes to biodiversity conservation and carbon sequestration efforts. In fact, over the recent years, the use of PittMoss by its customers has helped reduce 17,978 metric tons of CO2 and 243 kilograms of N2O in the environment.

FREDERICTON, NB, April 9, 2025 /CNW/ – April is Autism Acceptance Month, a time to recognize the importance of accessible and efficient care for individuals with autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions. NeuroAI, a Canadian HealthTech company specializing in AI-driven neurodevelopmental care, is set to revolutionize the field with the introduction of BRIDGES—an innovative digital platform that seamlessly integrates assessment, diagnosis, and intervention to create a more efficient, connected, and patient-centered system.

BRIDGES Engage is a secure, PHIPPA/PIPEDA/HIPAA-compliant smartphone application for parents and caregivers, offering customized intervention strategies, an autism resource library, parent-friendly online courses, and monthly Q&A meetings with NeuroAI experts.

Both solutions are featured by Allie, an AI-powered assistant designed to be more than just a feature. As a key differentiator of the platform, Allie provides personalized, bite-sized insights and support based on user interactions and data, acting as an intelligent concierge that guides users through the complexities of care with precision and efficiency.

“NeuroAI is not just a HealthTech company – it’s a mission-driven company working to build a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable future for neurodivergent children and their families. BRIDGES was created to accelerate diagnosis, support culturally responsive care, and empower caregivers through accessible, AI-powered tools.

The company has already secured pilot programs in Canada and the U.S., demonstrating tangible improvements in waitlist management, diagnostic support, and intervention outcomes.

BRIDGES is now available for healthcare institutions and clinicians looking to enhance neurodevelopmental care through cutting-edge technology. Soon, the solution will also be accessible directly to caregivers and families.
