Medi-Call Announces Partnership with Lucira Health

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – January 4, 2023) – Datametrex AI Limited (TSXV : DM) (FSE : D4G) (OTCQB : DTMXF) (the “Company” or “Datametrex”) is pleased to announce that Medi-Call Inc. (“Medi-Call“), the Company’s wholly-owned telehealth company, has signed a partnership agreement with Lucira Health (“Lucira“), signed December 22, 2022, for providing Medi-Call’s telehealth services to Lucira clients.

Lucira has created a Health Canada-approved at-home diagnostic testing device for detecting both COVID-19 and the flu, influenza A and B. Lucira will direct patients to Medi-Call’s telehealth services through the Lucira app and website, which exposes Medi-Call to more potential patients. Lucira has combined the most accurate COVID-19 test with the only commercially available at-home flu test. Within 30 minutes or less, users will know whether they have COVID-19 or the flu. Once results are in, if Lucira users are positive for any viruses, their platform will redirect users to Medi-Call’s telehealth services to see a physician or get a prescription. Lucira’s diagnostic testing has been chosen by some of the most notable organizations in Canada such as Netflix, Air Canada, Amazon, and Sony Pictures. (Source: https://www.lucirahealth.com/). This gives Medi-Call the opportunity to expand its services to a broader range of new potential clients.

With COVID-19 and flu symptoms being vastly similar, knowing which infection you have can be challenging. Lucira’s molecular, nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) provides accurate, at-home test results. Though Lucira is a self-test, it has more advanced technology than a rapid antigen test. The self-tests have analytical sensitivity, allowing the testing technology to detect viruses that have accuracy rates of 98%-99% in detection results, compared to lab-based PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) tests. This means Lucira’s at-home testing is just as accurate as PCR testing.

Additionally, several studies were conducted by Lucira to ensure the legitimacy and accuracy of their at-home testing. Accuracy rates range from 98%-99% during these trials. The below chart summarizes Lucira’s findings:

Being represented on the Lucira platform increases Medi-Call’s exposure to more potential patients and business. This new year, the Company is focused on growing our healthcare intiatives and expanding business,” said Marshall Gunter, CEO of the Company.
