REDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biotricity, Inc. (OTCQB: BTCY), a medical diagnostic and consumer healthcare technology company dedicated to delivering innovative, biometric remote monitoring solutions, today announced that it has achieved significant progress in their University of Calgary-based R & D program for their latest wellness monitoring systems. Clinical data collection has commenced for both its fetal/maternal and ambulatory adult heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring systems.

Dr. David Liepert, QA/QI and Safety Lead and Director for the University of Calgary Cumming School of Medicine Department of Anesthesia commented, “We could not be more excited to participate in developing both these non-invasive medical-grade ambulatory monitors, utilizing the amazing fidelity and mobility of the Bioflux system. We expect both tools to contribute to better outcomes, lower costs and increased patient satisfaction.”

Appropriate pre-rehabilitation and post-surgical rehabilitation has been shown to save up to $2,000 per patient and per surgery. Today, 89 percent of laboring patients in North America currently receive electronic fetal monitoring using either lower fidelity and less precise sound-based electrodes or higher fidelity fetal scalp electrodes. Trans-vaginal intrauterine pressure monitoring is used in approximately 15 percent of deliveries. Both electrode monitoring and trans-vaginal intrauterine pressure monitoring are invasive techniques that introduce possible trauma, infection, and patient discomfort.

Real-world ambulatory HRV monitoring will facilitate early risk stratification and more responsive patient management. Improved maternal/fetal prenatal and in-labor monitoring will assist caregivers to better control existing maternal conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and serious complications like pre-eclampsia. HRV monitoring will also facilitate safer and more comfortable antepartum care, making unforeseeable risks more predictable, manageable and potentially preventable. The U of C/Biotricity program will use actual clinical data to guide the development of efficient data processing and effective displays for both ambulatory adult medical and surgical patients and for non-invasive fetal/maternal prenatal and labor monitoring systems.

Biotricity seeks to facilitate the development of future medical devices that are easy to utilize in either the physician’s office or the patient’s home as well as in acute-care settings. These medical-grade wearables are comfortable and small, and can offer precise remote data collection and more responsive care.
