Biotricity Announces Commercial Rollout of Proprietary Bioflux Device
New Remote Patient Monitoring Solution to Drive Fundamental Shift in Diagnostics Within the Multibillion Dollar Cardiac Monitoring Market
REDWOOD CITY, CA March 5, 2018 Biotricity Inc. (OTCQB: BTCY), a medical diagnostic and consumer healthcare technology company dedicated to delivering innovative, biometric remote monitoring solutions, today announced the commercial availability of Bioflux, a real-time, high-precision mobile cardiac telemetry solution for customers. Biofluxs advanced technology is designed to assist in the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias, enhance patient outcomes, and curb healthcare costs.
The Bioflux system is designed to be a complete solution for cardiac monitoring and diagnosis, consisting of the Bioflux device, proprietary software, and a 24/7 monitoring center that merges seamlessly with physicians existing platforms and workflows. Unlike traditional cardiac monitoring solutions, Bioflux extends the support a patient receives at a care facility into the patients home. The device monitors a patients ECG in near real-time, constantly analyzing and collecting data on the device and periodically uploading to the cloud via embedded cellular technology. Both symptomatic and asymptomatic patient symptoms are reviewed and triaged for each patient throughout the monitoring period. In the past, patient data from cardiac monitoring solutions were not reviewed in near-real time, resulting in potentially life-threatening delays. As a medical device, Bioflux provides real-time clinical data that aids in the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias.
Bioflux was built for cardiac patients who require active monitoring because, until now, short-term monitoring or admission into the hospital for long-term observation was the standard, said Mr. Waqaas Al-Siddiq, Founder and CEO of Biotricity. Our technology addresses the multibillion-dollar cardiac-monitoring market. It does this in an innovative way, by actively and securely collecting patient data in near real-time and periodically transmitting it for analysis within the cloud. Our technology seamlessly communicates data bi-directionally over a communications network to facilitate superior data analysis and integration into healthcare providers workflow, which can improve patient-consumer outcomes by providing their clinician with actionable data and feedback.
Digital health initiatives such as Bioflux have vast potential in the healthcare sphere, as they enable a more efficient and cost-effective system of providing remote cardiac monitoring and diagnosis; all accomplished through medically relevant data, said Dr. Nayyar Razvi, Director of AppleTree Medical Group and Biotricity Advisory Board Member. With Bioflux, we can provide patients with early

intervention by catching vital changes, adjusting treatment plans in real-time, and detecting problems before they become life threatening. Without remote patient monitoring, healthcare providers are left with an incomplete view of a patients health from intermittent follow-up.
