TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec 4, 2017) - Revive Therapeutics Ltd. ("Revive" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:RVV)(OTCQB:RVVTF), a company focused on the research, development and commercialization of novel therapies and
technologies for the medical cannabis and pharmaceutical sectors, today announced an update on the development of the Artificial
Intelligence ("AI") component for Revive's proposed proprietary patient-focused program dedicated to the medical cannabis

blogs and news sites. Through data mining and analytics, information aggregated from independent sources on the internet will aim

visuals in a highly functional interface, NexaIntelligence, is able to conduct a deep analysis of the ever-growing volume of
online data of medical cannabis and catch the valuable signals that lead to strategic insights and actionable intelligence.
"We are very excited about Nexalogy's NexaIntelligence social data software solution as it provides us with a proprietary data
collection strategy and enables us to unlock the value of information, by artificial intelligence, currently being generated in
numerous independent social networks and environments on the internet," said Fabio Chianelli, President of Revive. "We are
focused on building a proprietary patient-centered platform dedicated to the medical cannabis industry that will leverage the
privacy, security, and information sharing features of blockchain and the data mining, predictive and machine learning features
of AI with the aim to engage, acquire, retain, and support medical cannabis patients. The AI component will provide insights,
analytics and recommendations that may offer significant value to licensed producers of cannabis, healthcare professionals, and
clinical researchers."
Andrew Ryu, Chairman and CEO of Datametrex added, "We are very encouraged to see our AI component provide such relevancy to
Revive and the cannabis sector. This is an explosive area and we will be delivering vital data around patients."

testing results will justify commercialization of the Company's drug candidates; that Revive will be able to obtain all requisite
regulatory approvals to commercialize its drug candidates; that such approvals will be received on a timely basis; and, that
Revive will be able to find suitable partners for development and commercialization of its drug repurposing candidates on
favourable terms. Although these assumptions were considered reasonable by management at the time of preparation, they may prove
to be incorrect and no assurance can be given that such events will occur in the disclosed time frames or at all.
Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking
statements include: uncertainties associated with obtaining regulatory approval to perform clinical trials and market products;
the need to establish additional corporate collaborations, distribution or licensing arrangements; the Company's ability to raise
additional capital if and when necessary; intellectual property disputes; increased competition from pharmaceutical and
