Relay Medical and Fio Partner with LifeLabs,
Canadian Healthcare Leader, to Deploy Fionet Platform for COVID-19
Testing Nationwide
Toronto, CANADA -- April 20, 2021 --
InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Relay Medical Corp.
("Relay" or the "Company")
(CSE: RELA, OTC: RYMDF, Frankfurt: EIY2) and Fio
Corporation ("Fio") together through their joint
venture company, Fionet Rapid Response Group
("FRR"), announce the execution of an agreement
with LifeLabs LP ("LifeLabs") to deploy the Fionet
Platform for COVID-19 rapid testing and real-time tracking across
Canada.
LifeLabs is Canada's largest provider of
specialty laboratory testing services, laboratory diagnostic
information and digital health connectivity systems, enabling
patients and healthcare practitioners to diagnose, treat, monitor,
and prevent disease. The company supports 20 million patient visits
annually and conducts over 100 million laboratory tests through
leading edge technologies and its 6,000 employees.
"COVID-19's threat to personal and economic
well-being across the country created a need for innovation in
technology and service. Through this alliance, LifeLabs and FRR are
bringing into any community setting the caliber of automated,
quality-controlled testing and tracking that previously was
available only in centralized lab facilities. FRR expects the
Fionet Platform to deliver hundreds of thousands of tests per month
through this agreement," said Dr. Michael Greenberg, CEO of FRR and
of Fio Corporation.
"We look forward to partnering with Fionet Rapid
Response Group during this critical time in the pandemic. While we
see the ongoing deployment of vaccines, the demand for COVID-19
testing remains high. This partnership serves as another big step
in our combined efforts to provide safe, accessible, and quality
testing for Canadians as we look to re-start our economy as part of
our WorkClear program," said Charles Brown, President and CEO of
LifeLabs.
The Fionet Platform enables fast, scalable,
quality-controlled testing and real-time automatic digital results
for electronic reporting. Each Fionet device processes
approximately 60 tests per hour at the point of need. FRR's
business model is a fee for each test processed through its
platform.
Under the terms of the agreement, LifeLabs will
provide the Fionet Platform in community-based settings at multiple
sites across Canada, including airports, pop-up labs, and
installations for small businesses. The Fionet Platform is
integrated into LifeLabs' laboratory information system, ensuring
seamless interoperation, as well as into LifeLabs' turnkey,
end-to-end COVID-19 rapid diagnostic testing (RDT) program to
support Canadians as they return to work.
Yoav Raiter, the CEO of Relay Medical shares,
"With this engagement, we are privileged to make available the
Fionet Platform nationwide to bring Canadians a testing solution to
give the country the confidence and support to begin a safe return
to daily life. We've made rapid testing accessible for travelers,
consumers, and employees across Canada and we look forward to doing
the same for other countries and communities around the world as
the Fionet Platform is ready to be widely deployed. This is a proud
moment for Relay as we provide the new standard for rapid COVID
screening."
