TORONTO, June 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via InvestorWire – RYAH Group, Inc. (CSE:RYAH) (“RYAH” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed the first shipment of the RYAH Smart Dry Herb Inhalers which includes a delivery of approximately 10,000 RYAH Cartridges and QR Codes to an international clinic (the “Clinic”) undertaking one of the world’s largest and most comprehensive clinical trials in plant-based medicine. The initial shipment is designated to be used by the Clinic in a pilot run in preparation for the previously announced study, based out of the United Kingdom, on the safety and efficacy of cannabis and hemp for the treatment of patients suffering from chronic pain.
The 5-year study is expected to cover tens of thousands of patients suffering from chronic pain, which makes it one of the largest and most ambitious research projects to be conducted in the plant-based treatment arena. Given the size and scale of the study, RYAH has developed a custom software solution, using OAuth API-integration to protect the privacy of the participants in the study, with the goal of enabling a fully integrated, patient feedback and data collection capability. The combination of an IoT controlled device and direct API data integration with the Clinic’s Electronic Health Record (EHR) system is expected to enable scale and mitigate a number of variables associated with data collection and interpretation which are often performed manually for both dose measurement and patient feedback.
“We are pleased to bring RYAH’s IoT device and integrated data solutions to the United Kingdom, providing a new level of session accuracy, patient feedback consistency, and data integrity to the clinical framework in plant-based medicine research. We continue to evolve our product and software solutions to help clinicians and researchers unlock breakthroughs in clinical research and analytics,” said Gregory Wagner, CEO of RYAH Group, Inc.
The medicinal cannabis market within the United Kingdom keeps growing and by 2024 it is predicted to be worth nearly US$1.3 billion, servicing nearly 340,000 active patients. According to a report by the United Nation's International Narcotics Control Board, before legalization, the U.K. has emerged as the largest producer and exporter of legalized cannabis for medical and research applications.
