SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Electromedical Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: EMED ) (the "Company"), a pioneer in the development and manufacturing of bioelectronic devices, including the FDA cleared WellnessPro+Plus® is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into Phase 2 of prototype construction of the new WellnessPro POD™.
