• Respiri’s wheezo RPM will be installed in New Mexico, USA
  • Beamtree signs new distributor
  • Bionomics welcomes new CEO

 

Respiri (ASX:RSH) has secured another primary care practice, Hand Family Healthcare, located in Clovis, New Mexico, USA.

Under the deal, Respiri’s wheezo RPM (remote patient monitoring) program will be provided to patients with asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) at the clinic.

New Mexico has a large rural population, making RPM an important clinical primary service given the distances patients would need to travel to receive treatment.

Respiri believes the wheezo device’s ease of use, secure integrated systems and Access Telehealth’s clinical staff monitoring provides an ideal solution for such family practices.

The company is expected to generate revenues from device sales and RPM fees from this arrangement.

“The momentum we have and continue to build is an exciting growth story for the company,” said Marjan Mikel, CEO of Respiri.

“With a strong and growing business development pipeline, nurtured in partnership with our RPM partners, we are confident of securing further primary healthcare practices and hospitals.”
