We were proud to present our defence-grade AI platform at the Bpifrance / EuroQuity - European Defence Week 2025, showcasing how we're redefining cybersecurity for critical and military infrastructures.

Why this matters: With 68% of NATO members confirming cyber-attacks targeting military logistics in 2025 and cyber-attacks increasing by 25% against NATO states, the need for unified operational compliance has never been more critical.

Our platform addresses these challenges head-on with:
🟢 Comprehensive threat prevention across joint network security operations
🟢 Swift incident identification and mitigation in air defense operations
🟢 Complete network visibility in tactical environments
🟢 AI-powered anomaly detection with real-time adaptive threat intelligence
🟢 Autonomous operational response capabilities

🚨 New Publication Alert! 🚨 Proud to share our latest research published in Journal of Biomedical Signal Processing and Control: 📄 "Introducing DEFORMISE: A Deep Learning Framework for Dementia Diagnosis in the Elderly Using Optimised MRI Slice Selection" 🔗 ScienceDirect: https://lnkd.in/dA8Ztndi

MetaMind Innovations - MINDS is proud to announce that the authors Nikos Ntampakis, Konstantinos Diamantaras, Ioanna Chouvarda, Vasileios Argyriou and Panagiotis Sarigiannidis present a novel deep-learning system that enhances dementia diagnosis through an optimised MRI slice-selection pipeline. This advanced approach automatically identifies the most informative brain slices, achieving high diagnostic performance while preserving clinical interpretability. The framework demonstrates how targeted slice selection combined with robust classification architectures can support reliable, non-invasive assessment in elderly populations.

✨This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 101095435 (REALM_EU).

Grateful to be part of ongoing efforts pushing forward AI-enabled, clinically aligned decision-support tools in neuroimaging. Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback!
