1) Marketing and Advertising: proceeds from the financing will be used to aggressively scale up our marketing operations and advertising for business development.
2) Human Capital and Hiring: the company will be hiring additional engineers to assemble and deploy its product suite across the globe as it keeps up with ongoing purchase orders and increased demand.
3) Research and Development: proceeds from the financing will be deployed in improving the efficiency of our proprietary algorithms and commercializing additional software and product features to improve infectious disease symptom and impairment screening.
Our goal remains to be a leading provider of health and safety solutions in the workplace. The strategic finance round brings Predictmedix one step closer to its mission in becoming the first line of defence to improve workplace health and safety through our artificial intelligence powered technologies.
