Panels of dermatologists convened to explore
clinical applications of SIAscopy® and DermSecure® technology
MedX Health Corp. (“MedX” or the “Company”) (TSXV:
MDX) recently convened Medical Advisory Boards of leading
dermatologists across Canada and the United States to explore
clinical application opportunities for its image capture
technology, SIAscopy® and patient management system,
DermSecure®.
Summarized findings from both advisory boards will help validate
the technological uses and benefits of SIAscopy® in clinical
practice, particularly as a triage tool for dermatological
assessment of suspicious moles and lesions. The Medical Advisory
Boards’ recommendations will be compiled and published in the
coming months through separate publication pertaining to the
Canadian and U.S. markets.
“This technology has the potential to save many lives as an
effective triage tool,” said Dr. Daniel Siegel, Chair of the
U.S.-based Medical Advisory Board. “Scanning more at-risk patients
in easy to access locations will provide greater early detection of
cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions, providing better patient
outcomes while lowering overall healthcare costs. MedX’s
DermSecure® platform offers a very complete teledermatology
solution – with their unique imaging technology, they can provide
dermatologists with high resolution images of pigmented lesions for
evaluation along with multispectral images that enhance diagnostic
accuracy. Until now, most teledermatology offerings could not
provide high quality images of potentially deadly melanomas to
dermatologists for assessment. This is truly an industry
gamechanger.”
Dr. Charles Lynde, Chair of the Canadian-based Medical Advisory
Board, said, “This technology shows tremendous promise for
positively impacting patient care, particularly as a tool for
patients and clinicians seeking second opinions. Because of the
quality of SIAscopy’s® high resolution images, we’re also
interested in its potential for assessing a wide range of
additional skin conditions.”
A similar Medical Advisory Board consultation process is also
underway in the United Kingdom, which will be shortly followed by
the formation of a European-based Medical Advisory Board.
MedX’s SIAscopy® is the only technology on the market that
captures five high resolution images, including four
spectrophotometric images 2mm below the skin’s surface, enabling
dermatological assessment of suspicious moles and lesions in a
pain-free, non-invasive manner. Combined with MedX’s DermSecure®
Screening Platform – its secure, cloud-based patient management
system – these high resolution images are transmitted safely and
securely for virtual dermatological assessment by a certified
dermatologist within just 72 hours, compared to a wait time of five
months to one year for traditional dermatological assessment.
