-
The initial part of the agreement includes a paid pilot involving 100 expectant mothers, with JHC paying $A50 per user per month

On completion of the pilot, both parties intend to enter into a comprehensive collaboration agreement for the full deployment of the HeraCARE platform as a standard JHC service
HeraMED Limited (ASX:HMD) (“HeraMED” or the “Company”), a medical data and technology company leading the digital transformation of maternity care, is pleased to announce it has signed an agreement with Joondalup Health Campus (JHC), which incorporates a paid pilot of its HeraCARE solution involving 100 expectant mothers as the initial phase of an anticipated commercial roll-out for the use of HeraMED’s technology as a standard service, to be offered to all pregnant mothers under JHC’s care.
On 8 October 2020, HeraMED announced outstanding results from a clinical study undertaken by JHC that delivered clinical and functional validation of the HeraBEAT device. The accuracy of the HeraBEAT device was found to be excellent when compared to the industry gold standard CTG (Phillips Avalon) machine. The Foetal Heart Rate (FHR) was detected on 100% of occasions by clinicians and importantly, the FHR was detected on 100% of occasions by the expectant mothers when using the device without assistance.
Today’s agreement represents an important next stage of the collaboration in which JHC is undertaking to incorporate the HeraCARE platform to introduce an innovative model for remote monitoring and care management for pregnant women, allowing for the HeraBEAT device and foetal heart rate data to be used in telehealth consultations.
HeraMED CEO and Cofounder Mr David Groberman, said: “We are delighted to have reached this agreement with JHC as it represents a significant achievement in our commercialisation strategy. Representing the first agreement for the full blown HeraCARE platform, on a Technology as a Service basis, it is in line with our commercialisation strategy and is expected to underpin further awareness of our technology amongst global healthcare providers.
“JHC is part of Australia’s largest private hospital operator; Ramsay Health Care Group and is well regarded as an early adopter of new technologies in obstetrics. It is particularly pleasing that JHC have adopted HeraMED’s innovative technology as it forms part of their strategic plan to become market leaders in adopting innovative care models based on digital health, home-based remote monitoring. We are confident that this partnership will underpin further opportunities with health providers in Australia and globally,” he said.
JHC CEO Dr Amanda Ling, said: “We are delighted to have reached this agreement with HeraMED and we look forward to being able to incorporate the HeraCARE platform into our remote monitoring and care management programs for pregnant women. At JHC, we are continually evaluating and adopting new technology that will improve the patient care and this agreement is a demonstration of that strategy at work,” she said.
