Versus Systems Partners With Predictmedix to Develop Products for Healthcare Applications in the Clinical Trial Market
October 01 2020 - 8:30AM
Versus Systems Inc. (“Versus”) (CSE:VS) (OTCQB:VRSSF)
(FRANKFURT:BMVA) today signed an agreement with Predictmedix, Inc.
(“Predictmedix”) (CSE:PMED) (OTCQB:PMEDF), a medical software
company that integrates Artificial Intelligence “AI” into
healthcare testing technology. The agreement is to bring Versus’
proprietary rewards platform to the healthcare vertical – allowing
healthcare providers, Contract Research Organizations (CROs), and
life science companies to use rewards to recruit and retain a
broader range of patients, and to promote compliance in testing
medical therapies. These products, for use primarily by CROs,
academic medical centers and those in the clinical trials markets,
will enter a market that Fortune Business Insights estimates at $40
Billion USD annually.1
Predictmedix will use Versus’s patented rewards
and engagement engine to incentivize users and patients to take
steps in their treatment. In the case of clinical trials, this may
include rewarding patients for joining certain trials, as well as
for complying with trial protocols. According to Deloitte,
recruiting, retention, and compliance are central issues in the
clinical trial space with over 40% of patients not adhering to
trial protocols.2 The Versus IP allows for remote data collection,
real-time feedback, and a rewards-based engagement that could
change patient behaviors and outcomes - saving time and money, and
also improving healthcare outcomes by providing more complete trial
data.
