ResAppDx to be Formally Evaluated by Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders in a Low Income Setting Brisbane, Australia, 9 May 2017 --
ResApp Health Limited (ASX:RAP), a leading digital health company developing smartphone applications for the diagnosis and management of respiratory disease, is pleased to name its humanitarian organisation partner as Doctors Without Borders/Médecins San Frontières (MSF), who are moving towards starting a clinical study of ResAppDx in a lower income rural context setting. According to the World Health Organisation, pneumonia kills more than 950,000 children under five every year. Many such deaths are caused by delays in diagnosis due to the lack of high-quality medical care in these regions. MSF is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, healthcare exclusion and natural disasters. MSF has expressed an interest in ResAppDx as it recognises its potential, and both parties are willing to collaborate to ensure that those children who will benefit most from this technology are not left behind. MSF has been providing input into ensuring its suitability in humanitarian settings and lower middle income countries. “We are very pleased with the collaboration to date and we have used the feedback obtained to refine ResAppDx even further for the difficult environments in which MSF operates,” said Tony Keating, CEO and Managing Director of ResApp. “We are looking forward to evaluating the clinical performance of ResAppDx in some of the most challenging conditions that doctors encounter.”
