Business Wire
PharmaChoice Canada, one of Canada’s
fastest-growing pharmacy groups, with more than 1000 independent
pharmacy owners and operators, announces its partnership with MedX
Health to launch a pilot program of MedX’s DermSecure® Screening
Platform
MedX Health Corp. ("MedX" or the "Company") (TSXV:
MDX), a global leader in teledermatology, is pleased to
announce a Memorandum of Understanding for the launch of a new
commercialization pilot project (the "Pilot Project”) with
PharmaChoice Canada (“PharmaChoice”), one of Canada’s
fastest-growing pharmacy groups, with more than 1000 independent
pharmacy owners and operators across its PharmaChoice and
RxHealthMed brands.
The Pilot Project is scheduled to commence in May 2023 and to
run for a three-month assessment period. Initially, the Pilot
Project will be conducted at twenty (20) PharmaChoice locations in
four Provinces: British Columbia, Ontario, Nova Scotia and
Newfoundland. Depending on assessments, success and demand, the
Pilot Project may be expanded up to fifty (50) locations across
Canada. Upon successful completion of the Pilot Project,
PharmaChoice and MedX anticipate that access to MedX’s
teledermatology screening service will be rolled out across the
entire PharmaChoice chain of pharmacies.
“PharmaChoice Canada is delighted to partner with MedX in
bringing its leading teledermatology assessment and screening
technology to the communities that we serve,” stated Curtis Chafe,
Vice President. “Offering MedX’s cloud-based DermSecure® Screening
platform will provide our customers with remote access from our
PharmaChoice and RxHealthMed locations to quick dermatological
assessment of pigmented lesions, moles and skin conditions. We are
very proud to partner with MedX Health to bring this innovative and
life-changing service to our clients.”
"We are honoured to work with PharmaChoice Canada on this most
important initiative. In Canada, access to dermatological care is
extremely limited, with only 1.7 dermatologists per 100 000
Canadians and a total of just 634 active dermatologists
Canada-wide. PharmaChoice Canada has a trusted relationship with
the communities it serves. Providing this much-needed
dermatological service reinforces their commitment to their
community. Their “Advice for Life” brand ensures customers receive
the best advice and services, and this service will save many
Canadian lives,” stated Mike Druhan, MedX President, Dermatology
Services.
PharmaChoice will pilot MedX’s cloud-based DermSecure®
technology platform that allows patients quick and easy access to a
qualified dermatologist. A single scan by a MedX SIAscope® captures
five high-resolution images of suspicious moles, lesions and skin
conditions, including four spectrophotometric images taken 2mm
below the skin's surface. The MedX SIAscope®, coupled with its HD
Camera, enables a technician in a pharmacy consulting room to take
a clinical image of a patient’s suspicious mole or lesion which,
together with the patient’s medical history, is uploaded onto the
DermSecure® platform and assessed by a dermatologist within 72
hours, thus enabling a rapid response when the need arises.
