Ventripoint Receives Additional Funding to Develop Next Generation of the VMS+, Whole-Heart Analysis System
Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd. (“Ventripoint” or the “Company”), (TSXV:VPT) (OTC:VPTDF) is pleased to announce that Ventripoint has received additional advisory services and up to $107,000 in research and development funding from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP). This new funding is in addition to the up to $120,000 that has already been approved.
“Ventripoint’s mission is to improve cardiac diagnosis for everyone, worldwide and especially for children, so it is wonderful to have the support of the Government of Canada through NRC IRAP as we push the limits of our technology to even better performance,’ stated Dr. George Adams, CEO of Ventripoint.
It is important for medical device companies to always be advancing their products to keep ahead of the competition and this support will be used to develop the next generation of the VMS+ products. The Company has been working with an international committee of cardiologists to define new measurements of heart function to improve diagnose and patient care. The combined funding of up to $227,000 will provide Ventripoint with the resources and advisory services to further enhance the VMS+ system to revolutionize the way heart analysis is performed.
