After a successful pilot, MedX Health and Makromed/Arhan Global
A.Ş have entered into a long-term commercial distribution agreement
with an immediate commitment to purchase 40 SIAscope units
MedX Health Corp. ("MedX" or the "Company") (TSXV:
MDX) is pleased to announce the signing of a commercial
distribution agreement with Makromed/Arhan Global A.Ş
("Makromed") following the conclusion of its successful paid pilot
project. In conjunction with signing the agreement, Makromed has
committed to an initial 60-unit order for 2022, with an immediate
order of 40 units and an option for 20 more units to be confirmed
by October 2022.
MedX President and CEO Naman Demaghlatrous stated, "MedX is
delighted to have successfully turned another paid pilot initiative
into a commercialization agreement. Having a local partner like
Makromed, with regional coverage, experience and understanding of
the local dermatological market dynamics, is fundamental to our
partnership's success."
Announced on November 16, 2021, the pilot allowed Makromed to
better understand the patient pathway, assess its addressable
market size, and set expectations. Results from the pilot concluded
with the MedX DermSecure® Screening Platform receiving a very high
level of acceptance amongst Turkish Health Care Professionals, from
dermatologists to oncologists. Given these exceptional results,
Makromed has entered into a distribution agreement with MedX for
the commercialization of its high-definition image-capture
technology, SIAscopy®, and its secure, cloud-based patient
management system, DermSecure®, which transmits and stores patient
data throughout the dermatology assessment process.
Founded in 2002, Makromed's mission focuses on providing
caregivers in Turkey with state-of-the-art solutions and services
offering development and transformation within the health care
industry, hence the importance of introducing the MedX
solution.
"As a company founded by a medical doctor, we have always
approached our responsibility of working closely with our medical
practitioners and caring for the patient's wellbeing as our primary
objective. MedX's technology has been well received by the
dermatologist and oncologist communities. We offer critical
services for the early detection of skin cancer and other
dermatological conditions, ultimately saving lives and reducing
healthcare costs. We see a major opportunity in moving ahead with
the commercial partnership with MedX," said Dr. Hasan Silav,
Founder and CEO of Makromed.
In addition to expanding its DermSecure® Screening Platform
network globally, MedX has focused on building a presence in
multiple market verticals such as pharmacies, medical clinics,
building hubs, medical scanning clinics, mobile and remote medical
practices, as well as esthetics and skincare clinics. The
partnership with Makromed further validates MedX's sales and
partnership approach of establishing paid pilot initiatives with
prospective global partners, gaining in-depth market knowledge and
successfully converting them into long-term commercial
contracts.
According to the World Health Organization's latest data in
2018, there were an estimated 1,201 skin cancer-related deaths in
Turkey1. Early and rapid detection of melanoma is key to improving
patient outcomes.
