VANCOUVER, BC, November 16, 2017 / – Reliq Health Technologies Inc. (TSXV:RHT or OTCQB:RQHTF) (“Reliq” or the “Company”), a technology company focused on developing innovative mobile health (mHealth) solutions for Community-Based Healthcare, is pleased to announce that it now has over 2,000 paid subscribers using its iUGO Care chronic care management, remote patient monitoring and telemedicine platform, representing recurring monthly revenue of over US$100,000/month.
“We are excited to announce that we now have over 2,000 patients live on our iUGO Care platform,” said Dr. Lisa Crossley, CEO of Reliq Health. “The onboarding of patients is starting to accelerate as we move forward with our roll out to over 40,000 patients in Texas. We expect to continue to enrol more than 1,000 new patients per month through 2018 with our two contracts with Paz Home Health, LLC (Pharr, TX) and Rio Grande Valley Health Alliance, LLC (McAllen, TX), which together are worth over US$26 Million annually in recurring revenue at full deployment. We are proud to offer a solution that comprehensively and cost-effectively addresses the needs of front line care providers in the community and the more than 37 Million Medicare and Medicaid patients who have two or more chronic conditions.”
Reliq is also pleased to announce that it has launched a new version of its corporate website, incorporating improved functionality and expanded content. The site will allow visitors to gain a comprehensive understanding of Reliq’s business model and provide an industry-leading resource for information on the Community Healthcare market.
Reliq’s iUGO Care digital health solution provides high quality virtual care in the community by creating a “virtual hospital ward” within the patient’s home, automatically collecting vital signs and tracking medication adherence. iUGO Care’s interactive voice technology provides patients with audible alerts and reminders to take their medications, collect their vitals using Bluetooth-enabled monitoring devices and perform prescribed rehab or fitness activities. iUGO Care’s two-way voice hub provides voice-activated access to patient education content, empowering patients and family members to proactively manage complex chronic conditions. Reliq’s iUGO Care cloud platform instantly alerts the clinical care team if a patient develops key warning signs, allowing clinicians to intervene before a health crisis occurs and preventing costly and disruptive hospital readmissions and ER visits.
