DIAGNOS Inc.: DARC Chooses CARA for a Clinical Trial in Conjunction with a Top Five Pharmaceutical Company in the United States

BROSSARD, QUEBEC — (Marketwired) — 05/19/15 — Diagnos Inc. (“DIAGNOS” or “the Corporation”) (TSX VENTURE: ADK), a leader in healthcare technical services including screening, software and algorithm development, data analysis, and image processing, announced today an agreement with Digital Angiography Reading Center (DARC).

DARC, a retina image analysis center located in New York, has signed a deal with a large U.S. pharmaceutical company for a clinical trial focusing on retina screening using tele-ophthalmology. For this trial, DIAGNOS will be providing its proprietary telemedicine platform, CARA, as well as all screening equipment and training.

There are millions of diabetic and pre-diabetic patients in the United States who do not routinely have their eyes screened for vision problems associated with diabetes(1). Diabetic retinopathy screening can make a major contribution towards improving their quality of life by identifying patients with unknown eye disorders and referring them for appropriate medical follow up(2).
