“While 2020 revenue was negatively impacted by COVID-19 due to restrictions on travel and some marketing activities, we have made significant and important progress in a number of facets of our business,” noted Rob von der Porten, Chairman and acting CEO of MedX. “We secured a distribution partner in Brazil, launched a DermSecure® platform in Europe and made progress in negotiations for a test program with medical centers in the US. We also started working with a patient-paid clinic in Canada which unfortunately has been primarily closed due to governmental mandated lockdowns. Furthermore, we strengthened our operations with experienced team additions, and we commenced a financing initiative late in 2020 which we successfully closed in the first quarter of 2021. We see that as an indication of the confidence that investors have in our telemedicine technology. We believe that we are now in a position to execute on scaling our DermSecure® telemedicine platform in our existing markets and seeing its implementation in new ones. We are encouraged by the growing level of awareness of DermSecure® and are seeing more opportunities to integrate the platform with recognized leading companies around the world,” Mr. von der Porten continued.
