• Artrya signs first partnership in the US as it looks to commercialise
  • EZZ Life Sciences sets up a store on TikTok China
  • Oceania buys two premium villages in Auckland

AI-based cardiac software solution developer, Artrya Limited (ASX: AYA), just announced its first clinical partnership in the US, signing with Alabama-based Huntsville Heart Center Inc.

Huntsville is a leading US company in coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) that treats more than 80,000 cardiac patients per year.

The two companies will conduct a study to determine the efficacy of Artrya’s technology, the Salix Coronary Anatomy.

Salix is an AI-based software capable of analysing cardiac CT scans to report a combination of coronary disease biomarkers, including components of high-risk plaque.

It was Artrya’s first clinical partnership in the US which could potentially pave the way for commercialisation in the country.

Trial results are expected to be completed by October this year.

Meanwhile, health supplements company EZZ Life Sciences (ASX:EZZ) has established a global overseas flagship store on the Douyin platform, a Chinese name for TikTok.

Douyin has over 670 million active users per month, and has overtaken Tmall Global as the leading short form video and social engagement platform in China.

EZZ believes the newly created EZZ International store on Douyin will significantly increase EZZ’s market reach and distribution capabilities in the country.

The next step will see EZZ products delivered to Douyin’s free trade zone for distribution from May 2022 onwards, which includes supplements and functional foods.
