Broomfield, CO, Dec. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Aclarion, Inc., (“Aclarion” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ACON, ACONW), a healthcare technology company that is leveraging biomarkers and proprietary augmented intelligence algorithms to help physicians identify the location of chronic low back pain, announced today that Juan Uribe M.D., Professor and Vice Chair, Department of Neurological Surgery, Chief Division of Spinal Disorders, and Volker K.
