Sales and business development
Predictmedix has been gearing up its sales and business development efforts for its screening technologies and is proud to announce the following progress to date:
- Predictmedix has successfully deployed its technologies for beta testing purposes with major partners in North America and Asia, including India Oil (a fortune 500 corporation), MGM Hospital COVID-19 ward (one of the largest COVID-19 hospitals in Mumbai, India) and Flow Water.
- Our deployment at MGM Hospital is strategic to ensure our AI algorithms adapt to symptom associated changes brought on by new COVID-19 variants. In other words, this allows our AI algorithm to adapt to the mutating virus. Once learned, the technology is deployed immediately and is simultaneously functional across all present deployments.
- Prospective clients in the US are particularly interested in a solution which performs metal detection along with infectious disease symptom screening. Predictmedix and Juiceworks is currently working with one of the largest metal detector manufacturers in North America to design a solution which integrates our infectious disease symptom screening solution with metal detectors. This will allow Predictmedix to launch a competitive product in the full body scanner market as well.
- Predictmedix is setting up its India Operations and is in the process of appointing a Managing Director to oversee Indian operations so we can maximize business opportunities in India. We are specifically leveraging our partnership with Paras Defense, which is one of the largest defence contractors in India, to target the government sector in India.
- Predictmedix has engaged with Norlan Consulting Group Ltd to target the public sector in Canada.
- Predictmedix has executed a LOI ("Letter of Intent") with one of the largest and most prestigious North American business consulting firms with global operations and is currently working on business development initiatives along with a definitive sales agreement.
- Our resellers have ramped up their sales team to target strategic sectors for our technologies.

About Predictmedix Inc.
Predictmedix Inc. is an artificial intelligence ("AI") company developing disruptive tools for impairment testing and healthcare. It is intended that the Company's cannabis and alcohol impairment detection tools will be used across various workplaces and by law enforcement agents. Its technology uses facial and voice recognition to identify both cannabis and alcohol impairment by utilizing multiple features along with numerous different data points. Testing does not require any body fluids or human intervention, thereby helping to remove human error and the potential for discrimination and prejudice.
The Company is also developing AI based screening for the healthcare industry. The recent advent of COVID-19 pandemic has placed unprecedented stress on the global economy and highlights the need for tools to help screen mass populations for infectious diseases, with the hope of preventing pandemics in the future. In turn, Predictmedix Inc. is expanding its proprietary AI technology to screen for infectious disease symptoms.
Additionally, psychiatric disorders such as depression, dementia and Alzheimer's disease can carry a significant burden and early identification is the key to better management. To help address this, the Company is also expanding its proprietary AI technology to screen for psychiatric and/or brain disorders such as depression, dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
