I wrote a letter to Mike Druhan on April 7th asking for an update on how the clinics associated with the Ziemer Professional Corporation were doing. I received Mike's response on April 8th and he gave me the permission to post:
"We have identified and trained eight of our first ten retail Siascopy scanning centres. The onboarding process has been documented and fine-tuned for scalability in the near future. The training was all conducted remotely due to COVID; however, this is the preferred model again for scalability reasons.
Scanning has begun for in house patients of our first 8 clinics and it is being well received. Certainly, COVID has slowed the patient flow as many of the clinics have experienced closures or repeated closures as they are not all deemed essential services. External marketing will commence including Facebook and email marketing once it is deemed safe to look for new out-of-clinic patients.
From a patient impact view, we have had three cases already early on of patients that needed immediate attention after having their scans evaluated by the Dermatologist. This of course is one of our biggest measures of success and we will document these cases every week.
I hope this answers your question."
