(“RYAH Medtech”), announces it has signed a definitively exclusive software development and product distribution agreement with its French partner, DelleD SAS, for the distribution of the RYAH Smart Inhaler. The strategic agreement further defines the previously announced arrangement with DelleD to distribute RYAH Smart Inhalers in the territory of France and participate in the upcoming tender for the French government’s national experiment on patient use of medical cannabis.
The 2-year experiment, overseen by the French Health Ministry and the French Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (“ANSM”), involves up to 3,000 patients who will be prescribed medical cannabis treatments and monitored by the ANSM. The nationwide experiment is being undertaken to gather data about the effectiveness and safety of therapeutic cannabis with an eye toward eventual legalization and distribution.
RYAH also announces its launch of customized software solutions including dedicated mobile applications and data analytics for clinical studies, cannabis growers, LPs, MSOs, ancillary device companies and wellness operators.
“In addition to distribution of the proprietary devices and accessories, the deal involves a Statement of Work (SOW) for RYAH to develop customized software for DelleD that would cater to the French patients who intend to use and track their plant-based therapies via DelleD,” said Jordan Medley, head of Product Operations at RYAH, noting this project is the second customized software development order for the Company. “Providing a robust data collection mechanism ensures more comprehensive patient feedback - and, consequently, accurate clinical trial results.”

Our team of software developers and designers have mastered the craft and we are pleased to offer this customized service to a wide range of clinics, growers, device companies and more,” said Gregory Wagner, CEO of RYAH GROUP, Inc.
