Six-Month Pilot will offer MedX’s DermSecure®
in London, England
Teledermatology company MedX Health Corp. (“MedX” or the
“Company”) (TSXV: MDX) and London Medical Laboratory
Ltd. ("LML") are pleased to announce a Memorandum of
Understanding on a commercialization pilot and distribution
agreement for MedX’s leading-edge DermSecure® Screening Platform in
the United Kingdom (UK).
The pilot will span three to six months and will involve an
estimated 1,000 patients in London, England. Upon the successful
completion of the pilot, the MedX DermSecure® Screening Platform
will be made available at a number of new centres across the UK and
Ireland. This agreement is the latest in a series of
commercialization pilots recently launched across Europe and the
Middle East as part of MedX’s global commercialization strategy,
building on pilots underway in the Netherlands, Italy, Turkey and
United Arab Emirates. Additional commercialization pilots are
anticipated in the coming months.
“At London Medical Laboratory, we were seeking a world-class,
innovative teledermatology partner for our patients and we found
such a partner in MedX – their image capture system is the best
available on the market today,” said Seth Rankin, CEO, London
Medical Laboratory Ltd. “We look forward to working with MedX to
make this leading technology available to the UK patients who need
it most.”
Sylvain Desjeans, MedX CEO said, “With melanoma skin cancer
rates more than doubling in the UK since the 1990s, our partnership
with London Medical Laboratory presents an enormous opportunity to
improve patient outcomes. Agreements like this ensure we can
maximize our growth potential and realize our purpose of saving
lives.”
According to Cancer Research UK1, melanoma skin cancer incidence
rates have increased by 140% since the 1990s and has almost tripled
for males during this time. The incidence rate is projected to grow
an additional 7% by 2035, with approximately 16,700 new cases
diagnosed each year. Early and rapid detection of melanoma is key
to improving patient outcomes.
Naman Demaghlatrous, MedX Managing Director of Europe, Middle
East and Africa, added, “This pilot is a critical first step to
establishing our presence in a market of more than 68 million
people. Given the increasing incidence rate of melanoma in the UK,
we will continue to seek additional opportunities to grow our
presence throughout the UK and Ireland in the months to come.”
Teledermatology is a subspeciality of dermatology that offers
safe and effective virtual care – patient screening and assessment
– eliminating the need for in-person appointments with a
dermatologist. MedX is a global leader in teledermatology through
its high-definition image capture technology, SIAscopy®, and its
secure, cloud-based patient management system, DermSecure®, which
transmits and stores patient data throughout the assessment
process. MedX’s SIAscopy® is the only technology in the world that
captures five high-resolution images of suspicious moles, lesions
and skin conditions, including four spectrophotometric images 2mm
below the skin’s surface. This technology provides detailed patient
scans for virtual dermatological assessment by a certified
dermatologist within just 72 hours.
