Ynvisible Delivers E-Paper Displays for At-Home Medical Tests, Supporting the FDA Approval Process

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – October 24, 2024) – Ynvisible Interactive Inc. (TSXV: YNV) (FSE: 1XNA) (OTCQB: YNVYF) (the “Company” or “Ynvisible”), a leading provider of printed low-power e-paper display products, is pleased to announce that it has recently delivered more than 10,000 customized e-paper displays to a leading company in the diagnostics sector. This delivery comes as a critical step in the product commercialization process, as the displays were integrated into novel at-home medical diagnostic tests by Ynvisible’s customer, and are currently under review by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States.

Ynvisible had previously announced this collaboration with an emergent industry leader in medical devices, to develop the next generation of medical at-home testing and diagnostic solutions. The customized displays that Ynvisible developed for this application follow strict medical industry requirements. In addition, switching to Ynvisible’s innovative display technology is expected to significantly increase market share over the coming years for this customer, due to the cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency of Ynvisible’s e-paper displays, coupled with the advantages of roll-to-roll manufacturing.

Understanding the FDA Process

For devices like those using Ynvisible’s displays, the FDA’s 510(k) pathway is commonly followed. This process involves demonstrating that the device is equivalent to a legally marketed product. Preclinical tests, clinical studies, and a comprehensive review ensure the device meets FDA standards for safety and efficacy. Once submitted, the FDA generally takes around 90 days to complete the review. This step is crucial for bringing at-home medical devices like this to market.

Obtaining FDA approval for this specific diagnostics solution means that Ynvisible e-paper displays can become a standard solution for a wide range of medical and diagnostics products.

Market Growth in At-Home Diagnostics

The global market for at-home diagnostic testing is expanding rapidly. In 2023, the market was valued at USD 12.73 billion, with projections estimating it will grow to USD 22.1 billion by 2030, driven by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2% (https://www.maximizemarketresearch.com/market-report/at-home-testing-market/189935/).

Several factors are driving this growth, including the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, the demand for greater convenience, and technological advancements in diagnostic tools.

The ability to conduct medical tests at home has become a priority for many consumers, especially with advancements in diagnostics like glucose monitors and infectious disease tests. The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated this trend, with demand for home testing rising significantly. Ynvisible’s e-paper displays fit perfectly into this expanding market, offering low-power, easy-to-read solutions that support the growing need for accessible, at-home medical diagnostics.

With more than 10,000 units already delivered and the FDA review process underway, Ynvisible is well-positioned to reach a significant position in this market. Ynvisible will provide updates as this project progresses and looks forward to further opportunities within the healthcare sector.

Due to confidentiality agreements, Ynvisible cannot reveal the customer’s name or disclose the specific design and functionalities of the product at this time. These agreements are crucial to protecting the customer’s competitive advantage, reflecting the strategic value and significance of this collaboration.
