The Adoption of Digital Health Solutions Creating a $456.9 Billion Opportunity

Millions of people are are turning to digital health solutions, helping to create a potential $456.9 billion opportunity by the time 2026 rolls around. In fact, after the health scare, government and healthcare systems around the world are now beginning to realize just how essential digital health has become, in addition to the role it plays in providing higher quality, easily accessible, and affordable care, as noted by Forbes. That’s where a company, like AI/ML Innovations (CSE:AIML)(OTC:AIMLF) and its Health Gauge subsidiary, a leading digital health solutions provider, may be able to help.

“Advances in telehealth, digital pharmacy, remote patient monitoring and the rapid adoption of these kinds of digital health tools have provided meaningful patient impact and increased the interconnectivity among healthcare providers and their patients. Digital strategies that were expected to take 10 years to accomplish may now be compressed into three,” added Forbes. All of which is great news not only for AI/ML Innovations, but also for Reliq Health Technologies Inc. (TSXV:RHT)(OTC:RQHTF), WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX:WELL) (OTC:WLYYF), XORTX Therapeutics Inc. (CSE:XRX)(OTC:XRTXF), and Therma Bright Inc. (TSXV:THRM)(OTC:TBRIF).

Look at AI/ML Innovations, for example

AI/ML Innovations (CSE:AIML)(OTCQB:AIMLF), a company committed to acquiring and advancing Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning technologies that address urgent societal needs, is pleased to announce that its majority-owned subsidiary, Health Gauge, has entered a strategic partnership with AI-on-Call to deliver a digital remote patient monitoring solution for the early prediction, diagnosis, and prevention of sepsis and acute illness in seniors (whether in Assisted Living, Nursing Homes, Hospital, or Home settings).

HG’s smartwatch solution and AI-driven cloud platform combine with AI-on-Call’s novel protocols and algorithms to improve the timely capture of requisite health data, support the rapid identification and prioritization of at-risk patients for sepsis and acute illness, and ultimately facilitate improved outcomes through the quicker engagement of care team professionals.

Three seniors’ facilities located in British Columbia have been identified as the initial deployment target for the joint solution, while the near-term market opportunity is focused on British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario seniors’ facilities. There are over 60 million seniors in North America who could benefit from this service, including 6 million in Canada alone.

“The World Health Organization states that sepsis affects more than 30 million people globally, and kills 6 million people every year” said Tim Daniels, Chairman of AIML. “A powerful tool such as that offered by the combined offering by Health Gauge and AI-on-Call can improve the outcome of patients with sepsis while simultaneously helping to reduce overall healthcare costs.”

HG’s “Health Gauge App” will provide the front-facing end-user interaction, and data capture technology (heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, temperature, and oxygen saturation) integral to the success of the AI-on-Call solution. Additionally, data from AI-on-Call services are to be stored in HG’s data store systems, currently being managed by MedStack services, and within an Azure-based platform.

It is anticipated that HG’s products and services, integral to the AI-on-Call solution, will be priced as follows:

- HG Phoenix Wearable (MSRP): $200

- HG BMI Weight Scale (MSRP): $100

- HG Thrive Monitoring Subscription: $5.00/month

- HG Value-add Reports: TBD

- AI-on-Call subscription revenue (provided via HG platform): 15% residual + 10% eComm/operations

The go-to-market user service price will be adjusted upon the completion of pilot and market testing.
