Diagnos Inc. (“
DIAGNOS”, the
“
Corporation” or ”we”) (TSX Venture: ADK) (OTCQB:
DGNOF) a leader in early detection of critical health issues
through the use of its FLAIRE platform based on Artificial
Intelligence (AI), is pleased to announce the signing of a contract
with Farmacias Benavides, a member of Walgreens Boots Alliance in
Mexico.
“In Farmacias Benavides we are focussed on
providing the best health and wellness products for Mexican
families. As we keep our evolution into a much more digital health
and integrated ecosystem, we’re happy to announce the service
contract with DIAGNOS in order to support the Benamedic Wellness
program. DIAGNOS uses non-invasive pre-screening technology done
through the eye for early detection of retina diseases in real-
time caused by diabetes, pre-diabetes (obesity) and hypertension.
Unfortunately, 7 out of every 10 people are overweight in Mexico.
We want to make DIAGNOS’ AI retina service, which commence in the
next few weeks, accessible through our Benamedic Wellness program,”
stated Mr. Guillermo Demis, CEO of Farmacias
Benavides.
Benamedic is a catalog of medical services carry
out by Farmacias Benavides, member of Walgreens Boots Alliance,
through its extensive network of doctors at the points-of-care
attached to the pharmacy stores. The objective is to provide
medical guidance to the national population in Mexico.
“DIAGNOS has proven the efficiency of its AI
solution and our experience in the roll-out of mass retina
screening projects in the Mexican market. By joining efforts with
Farmacias Benavides, a member of Walgreens Boots Alliance, we have
the opportunity to serve the Mexican families by educating and
preventing them from blindness caused by diabetes and hypertension:
at least 4 out of every 10 people have either diabetes and/or
hypertension, and still half of the population remains undiagnosed
with having diabetes,” mentions Mr. André Larente,
President of DIAGNOS.
