About Vertica Health
Vertica is a digital health company that builds innovative health risk solutions for downstream customers. The team includes highly specialised and experienced scientists in medicine and engineering. Vertica has targeted Insurance and Occupational Safety markets, and has recently expanded into retail insurers, medical aids, global re-insurers and the mining industry. The company is in advanced stages with a number of these organisations to integrate the Vertica Solution and market-ready designs with target launches during the second half of 2022 and into 2023. Vertica is planning to conclude the integration of the AHI CompleteScan SDK by early Q2 2022 into their solution suite.
Vertica has three exciting health risk solutions that align with AHI’s technology:
Fatigue: Vertica uses night-time heart rate and accelerometer data to predict a user’s sleepiness. The accuracy of this prediction is improved by cross referencing with relevant peer-reviewed research. Using mathematical modelling, this technology can predict neurobehavioral deficits such as decreased motor skills and memory, critically important in such fields as aviation and medical surgery. Models were trained and validated using sleep deprivation, sleep restriction, simulated night work, napping and recovery sleep data. Combined with the data from AHI’s CompleteScan technology, there is potential to reduce sleep deprivation's long-term health effects, including long-term increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, heart attack, and stroke.
Health risk management: Vertica uses information from AHI’s vital signs capture, including heart rate and heart rate variability measurements as well as data from AHI’s BodyScan to predict several health risks including metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular and metabolic disease, depression and generalised anxiety disorder. Vertica strengthens these predictions by cross referencing this information with peer-reviewed papers which investigate common blood biomarkers, blood pressure, fitness levels, anthropometry, insulin resistance and visceral fat. By combining these information sources, Vertica developed a risk model that predicts total cholesterol, HDL-c cholesterol, LDL-c cholesterol, triglycerides, and C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation). Furthermore, this model can also estimate cardiorespiratory fitness, visceral adiposity index, lipid accumulation product (which uses waist circumference in the prediction model), 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease mortality and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (often used to estimate arterial stiffness and cardiovascular issues and other metabolic syndromes).
Orthopaedic recovery: Vertica uses the smartphone’s accelerometer and gyroscope to measure joint mobility which can be used, for example, to measure the ability of a knee to extend and flex after orthopaedic surgery. Vertica has also automated a two-minute walking test to further assess mobility. Both are important to ensure timely intervention to catch problems during recovery, including the swelling effects of an infection. Vertica and AHI will look to expand this assessment and risk detecting tool once AHI’s Musculoskeletal Assessment (MSK) tool is developed.

Financial Impact
AHI does not expect any immediate financial return as a result of entering into this binding agreement. A financial return will be more readily identifiable once formal agreements have been concluded and upon the commercial release of the integrated application (launch date to be advised).
