| DIAGNOS Inc. (TSX-V: ADK) (OTCQB: DGNOF) (Frankfurt: 4D4) is a Canadian-based medical software technology company that pioneered 'Computer Assisted Retinal Analysis' (CARA), which automatically analyses the retina (located at the back of the eye) using machine learning / artificial intelligence (AI) technology to identify damage caused by diabetes and cardiovascular issues. For the last 7 years DIAGNOS has commercially advanced its first large-scale application of the technology, primarily aimed at preventing diabetic retinopathy. Entering 2022 marks a pivotal time for DIAGNOS as the technology has recently seen several large players in the eyecare sector and medical field commit to large-scale roll-outs, this is putting pressure on others in the sector to consider a similar move and not be left behind. DIAGNOS' technology essentially transforms eyecare centers into Point of Care and wellness diagnostic centers as the CARA platform also is expected to commercially launch several other large-scale applications, including an application for hypertensive retinopathy (launch imminent) and one for stroke prediction (undergoing clinical trials now in USA). Complicated medical conditions resulting from diabetes, high blood pressure, and potential stroke can be detected by DIAGNOS' algorithms able to interpret detailed imagery of the retina. Since New Look (with 407 locations in Canada) signed on for CARA platform roll-out DIAGNOS' phone has been ringing from around the globe, essentially other industry participants do not want to miss out on a technology whose time has come. Look for an increase in new business announcements to come from the DIAGNOS over the coming months and years. In fact, Essilor Luxottica, the largest eyecare company in the world, with 16+ Billion in revenue and ~15,000 locations, signed a MOU with DIAGNOS in August-2021 and is in active negotiations on terms -- this alone has massive latent catalyst potential for upside share price revaluation of ADK.V as details emerge. Specifically DIAGNOS and Essilor are currently negotiating 3 things; 1) contract for the existing platform, 2) Essilor wants DIAGNOS to do a specific development for their line of fundus camera, and 3) Essilor wants access to future applications DIAGNOS will roll out. The fact the largest eyecare company in the world chose DIAGNOS' technology speaks volumes as to where this is headed. With all the activity DIAGNOS has on the go it appears a low-risk high-reward proposition: ADK.V only has 69.12 million shares outstanding, there are very little warrants left, and insiders & family office own ~40% of the outstanding shares. DIAGNOS has no debt, money in the bank, an untapped C$2 million government credit line if needed, has a high-margin SaaS model (it only costs ~4 cents to process an image that it charges between ~C$5 - $10), is expected to be cash flow positive (based on solid contracts) in the coming fiscal year, has numerous new business prospects in discussion now, and is expected to see rapid revenue growth. Astute investors connecting the dots about what is unfolding are apt to do well by establishing a long position in ADK.V now. |
