ALR Technologies Announces Development Partnership Agreement With Insulin Algorithms; Successful Integration of the Two Technology Platforms Could Lead to Near-Instantaneous Insulin Dosage Consultation and Adjustment

RICHMOND, VA--(Marketwired - Nov 5, 2013) - ALR Technologies (OTCBB: ALRT) and Insulin Algorithms (InsulinAlgo) announced a technology partnership that would integrate Insulin Algorithm's insulin dosage adjustment software with ALRT's Health-e-Connect remote monitoring platform. An integration of the two technology platforms would create a revolutionary system that would allow patients to remotely upload their blood glucose data to the ALRT platform and then, within seconds, the patient's physician could be provided with an insulin dosage recommendation electronically when the patient's blood glucose data and patient profile were run through the Insulin Algorithm software. Proper dosing of insulin is one of the most important and challenging tasks in diabetes care and an effective system to dose insulin would reduce adverse events, improve outcomes and reduce the costs of care for patients living with diabetes.

ALRT's platform has received FDA 510(k) clearance but any commercial use of Insulin Algorithms' software will require additional U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulatory clearance. Under the agreement, ALRT will have access to the InsulinAlgo software to begin the integration process while InsulinAlgo's FDA clearance is pending. Once integrated and tested, and after final FDA clearance, the ALRT-InsulinAlgo system will be made available to the commercial marketplace both in the U.S. and internationally.

Insulin Algorithm's Founder and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Mayer B. Davidson, said: "We are very excited about our partnership with ALRT. I have spent a career studying how to properly dose insulin and our algorithms embody that experience. This partnership with ALRT represents the potential to offer our expertise to many providers quickly and electronically, without the inconvenience of paper logbooks and unnecessary additional physician visits. We hope to serve as an experienced resource for those physicians who are on the front line of diabetes care."

ALRT's CEO Sidney Chan said: "We are honored to partner with Insulin Algorithms as its founder is one of the world's most renowned experts on the proper use of insulin. As the global pandemic has spread from the developed world to the emerging economies, we believe there is an urgent need to provide physicians and patients with the benefit of the very best thinking about proper insulin dosing. Our partnership has the potential to bring this knowledge as quickly and efficiently as a text message. We believe there is a worldwide market for this tool."
