“Alberta’s unique combination of healthcare innovation initiatives, world-class research institutions, and economic diversification strategy presents exciting opportunities for PROTXX to expand the development and commercial deployment of our innovations in wearable devices and machine learning, and to prove out the economic value of more quantified management of medical conditions that affect global patient populations numbering in the billions,” said PROTXX CEO and Founder, John Ralston.
The PROTXX precision medicine platform integrates wearable sensor and machine learning innovations to replace bulky and expensive clinical equipment and time-consuming testing procedures for a variety of complex medical conditions. PROTXX sensors are designed to be worn unobtrusively by users of any age and in any clinical, athletic, industrial, or military environment, significantly expanding patient and provider access, enabling continuous and remote patient monitoring, and enhancing the value of telemedicine initiatives, says a press release.
Multiple stakeholders within the Alberta healthcare ecosystem have identified an exciting range of innovative applications in clinical diagnoses, treatment, and rehabilitation of complex medical conditions including injuries such as concussions, diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, and age-related disorders such as stroke. The ease of use and level of quantitative assessment enabled by the PROTXX platform provide opportunities for better healthcare quality, outcomes, and value for large and diverse groups of Albertans.
