CardioComm Solutions Completes Meeting With Visiting Japanese Medical Technology Delegates in Toronto
Invited by Ontario"s Ministry of Economic Development and Innovation and the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service, these meeting provided an opportunity for potential collaboration on innovation and commercialization of leading edge medical imaging technologies.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, Mar 08, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
CardioComm Solutions, Inc. (CardioComm Solutions) (TSX VENTURE: EKG) was identified as a company of interest to participate in a one day exchange (March 7, 2012) of information and ideas with a visiting Japanese medical technology delegation sponsored by the Ontario"s Ministry of Economic Development and Innovation, in partnership with the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service. The objectives of the mission were to promote partnership in innovation, R&D, trade and investment in the area of medical imaging between Canada and Japan.
The one-on-one meetings between CardioComm Solutions and the visiting Japanese companies explored areas of collaboration which could lead to new commercialization opportunities for CardioComm Solutions" bio-monitoring technologies. Given the confidential nature of the meetings and to respect the wishes of the delegation and the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service, the participating organizations from the Japanese delegation will not be disclosed at this date.
CardioComm Solutions is a medical software engineering company specializing in the management of electrocardiograms ("EKGs"), one of the most common diagnostic tests performed. Over the past three years the company has successfully launched solutions that enable the receipt, review and interpretation of EKGs through the use of newer medical devices and communication portals over internet and cellular based technologies. Their EKG management solutions can now service both medical and consumer markets internationally. "Our Global EKG Management System (GEMS) is comprised of two technologies. The first enables the capture and importation of EKG recordings from FDA cleared devices such as the HeartCheck(TM) PEN, Mobile Cardiac Telemetry Devices ("MCT"), 12 lead EKG machines and cardiac event loop recorders ("ELRS"). Our second proprietary technology is an EKG "viewer" that forms the core of our family of products allowing the EKG wave form to be acquired, reviewed, interpreted and saved, thereby enabling medical professionals to make diagnoses for cardiac arrhythmias. Our EKG SDK viewer is a technology of specific interest to our larger clients as it can be integrated to their own proprietary workflow systems without GEMS(TM)," said Etienne Grima, CEO of CardioComm Solutions.
"Discussions with the visiting delegates highlighted the importance of having access to ready-to-market and proven medical solutions. The Japanese market is active in searching out technologies such as ours to service their growing In-Hospital, Point of Care and Home Monitoring needs. With over 200 million citizens, the consumer market importance also cannot be understated. Follow up discussions are planned as well as the potential for a CardioComm Solutions visit to Japan in 2012," added Grima.
"We were very pleased to have been asked to attend the closed door meetings and to learn more about Japanese advanced technologies. The meetings also allowed us to share our plans for leveraging our history of performance in the health care market as we take first steps towards integrating with new consumer EKG and other bio-sign monitoring devices under the GEMSTM 4.0 software platform. This event presented an excellent opportunity for access into the Japanese market, a medical device market worth approximately $32 billion," said Simi Grosman, member of the board of directors for CardioComm Solutions.
