Q3 2024 Financial Results
Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was $2.3 million, compared to the $1.6 million reported in the third quarter of 2023. Strong growth was driven by Population Health which grew 36% year over year, and Healthcare Workforce, which increased 54% year over year.
Gross profit margin was 30% in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 35% the previous year, attributed to revenue recognition in the third quarter of 2023 from our first milestone-based digital health product, Syrabot. With maintenance and operations for this project continuing for an additional three years, we believe we are well-positioned for future growth as we expand our digital health offerings and optimize our revenue streams.
