    Happy New Year all,

    Nice announcement on the board appointment today. Karin appears very well connected and will add value to the company IMO. It’s good to see fresh injections into boards as it brings new connections, fresh ideas and more opportunities.

    There were a few comments over the festive season regarding matters:

    The first was Google’s announcement they have an algorithm to detect breast cancer. Welcome Google !, you are about 10 years late to the party. Ralph and VHT team have been working on this for well over a decade. Just our recent Dense trials was 10 years in the making. This is free publicity for VHT and not a threat imo. Google’s announcement was just a proof of concept too. They would now need to find hospitals to then commence clinical trials, then submit for FDA approval, then look to commercialise. This processes imo would take 3-5 years. By then VHT will have a major hold on the market. However, Google have over $100b in cash available and could leapfrog via an acquisition… Google want data – VHT have a lot of data. A recent chat with VHT management highlighted they had already spoken with representatives from Google’s AI department - Deep Mind.

    The second was the prior newsletter indicating a major public healthcare system was likely to announce they are using VHT software. (Surprised this wasn't an official announcement).
    IMO and as @zdog13 posted its likely to be UK or Netherlands. Both would likely sign up in time especially with the launch of our integrated product suite and the recent DENSE clinical trial results. Ralph is from the UK and very well connected there & our Dense trails were out of Netherlands. The numbers posted by zdog are huge and would materially adjust the revenue upwards.

    I expect an upgrade in estimated FY revenue in the upcoming quarterly to the high end of the range. Morgan’s brokers have also alluded to VHT’s conservative forecasted revenue in their recent youtube/twitter postings. Worth listening.

    The FDA ruling to enforce mandatory density reporting is also still in progress. This is big for VHT. Don’t hold your breath with the FDA but imo it will be out in coming months given the FDA closed off feedback in June 2019.

    The Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) remains my key metric to watch in 2020. If management can show consistent progress towards their prediction of ARPU at $8-$10 - the share price will take off. With FY revenue currently circa $20m & ARPU at $1 the maths are simple to start considering what this company could be worth in a few years’ time. (Will post on this in detail later).

    Another great digital health solutions company in the right place at the right time. A nice medium-long term mid cap hold here.
