REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biotricity Inc. (OTCQB:BTCY), a medical diagnostic and consumer healthcare technology
company dedicated to delivering innovative, biometric remote monitoring solutions, has completed the alpha version of Bioflux 2.0’s
deep data diagnostic solution in accordance with FDA arrhythmia diagnostic standards.
The Company intends to leverage its new AI and deep data technology in arrhythmia analysis in its Bioflux 2.0 solution and focus
on improved accuracy, faster diagnostics for patients, more efficient monitoring, and improved call center efficiency.
“We hope our deep data solution will eventually lead to near-instantaneous diagnostics, circumventing some of the current issues
inherent in arrhythmia monitors, such as the delay that it takes for a physician to receive and analyze a patient report,” said Mr.
Waqaas Al-Siddiq, Founder and CEO of Biotricity. “If we have the ability to anticipate a problem early we may have the potential to
send preventative or predictive alerts.”
Diagnostic failure rates are still relatively high with about 5 percent of adult patients misdiagnosed each year in the U.S. This
totals over 12 million people. Biotricity hopes to employ deep data science to increase the accuracy and efficiency of diagnostics,
with the first implementation in its Bioflux 2.0 solution.
The Company expects to complete software and hardware prototyping for its Bioflux 2.0 solution and to file a 510(k) clearance
application with the US FDA by early 2019.
“Deep data will enable us to have a more rapid and holistic view of a patient’s condition, which we will then leverage in our
chronic care solution,” said Mr. Waqaas Al-Siddiq. “In the future, we might create a complete patient toolset, wherein a patient’s
behavioral and lifestyle data will be factored into their biometric data to create highly customized treatment programs and
personal health coaches.”
