Biosign has entered the Tricorder XPRIZE Competition under the team name "Cloud DX". The Company's entry is based upon its patent-pending Pulsewave® MAX next-generation health monitor technology. Pulsewave® MAX can directly measure four channels of biological data: digital sphygmogram, oxygen saturation, temperature and ECG. The Company's patent-pending Cloud Diagnostics™ software then derives six additional parameters: heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, heart rate variability, heart arrhythmia and pulse transit time. By combining these readings with additional data, team Cloud DX will attempt to qualify for the XPRIZE finals in April 2014. Over 300 teams expressed an intention to compete - Team Cloud DX is one of only 3 teams from Canada selected to register as a contestant.
Biosign CEO Robert Kaul stated: "We are pleased to be accepted as one of only 34 contestants around the world to compete in this prestigious innovation competition. We believe our ground-breaking Pulsewave® technology is a sound basis for creating a fully-functioning Tricorder as imagined by the XPRIZE Foundation. Under the leadership of our Medical Director, Dr. Sonny Kohli (himself a former astronaut candidate), we believe we have an excellent chance to make a strong impression while at the same time continue to bring a commercial version of the Pulsewave® MAX closer to market."
