VICTORIA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 30, 2024 / AI/ML Innovations Inc. (CSE:AIML)(OTCQB:AIMLF)(FWB:42FB), a leading company committed to acquiring and advancing Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning technologies that address urgent societal needs, reports that it has received the following press release from its majority-owned subsidiary, Health Gauge Inc.:

Health Gauge Inc. is pleased to provide an update on the "Electronic Patient Reported Biometric Measures" (ePReBMs) clinical study, a collaborative initiative with Dr. Giovanni Ferrara from the University of Alberta's Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry. This innovative project leverages Health Gauge's Phoenix wrist wearable, showcasing the Company's commitment to advancing wearable technology and generating personalized, timely, health and wellness biometrics.

As first reported in a press release by the Company dated June 14, 2023, the ePReBMs project focuses on the burden of respiratory diseases, a significant challenge in modern healthcare. The study addresses the pressing need for accurate predictions of patient exacerbations and severity, while limited in clinical interactions. Health Gauge's Phoenix Smart Watch looks to address this need by collecting vital biometrics, including heart rate and variability, respiratory rate, non-invasive blood pressure, temperature, SpO2 saturation, and daily activity, and providing that information in an effective and timely manner.

Recruitment for the ePReBMs project commenced in the fourth quarter of 2023 and is expected to near its participant goal by June 2024. Interested parties can find more information about the trial on www.clinicaltrials.gov (Clinical trial ID: NCT05827302)¹.

Dr. Ferrara expressed optimism about the project, emphasizing the potential benefits of data collected by the HG Phoenix Smart Watch for improving patient outcomes. He notes, "Our project aims to assess the feasibility and potential benefits of the data collected by the HG Phoenix Smart Watch for monitoring patients with various respiratory diseases, known for their significant symptom burden and frequent healthcare system interactions."

Randy Duguay, CEO of Health Gauge, added, "We are enthusiastic about supporting Dr. Ferrara's critical work in applying Health Gauge's proprietary digital health biometrics solution. This encompasses the ability to capture and analyze both processed and raw data signals. It will further Dr. Ferrara's ongoing research into wearable technology, AI/ML solutions, and, eventually, the integration and deeper analysis with environmental and socioeconomic data sources. The goal is to enhance health service delivery and contribute to the improvement of respiratory care programs". He continued, "The potential validation of our patented, AI-powered smartwatch solution for use as a predictive and monitoring aid for chronic respiratory diseases would be of tremendous value to all stakeholders involved, as COPD remains one of the most common reasons for hospital admission in Canada²".

Health Gauge is committed to advancing the field of healthcare through innovative solutions and meaningful collaborations. The recent release of The Pulse Whisperer for Biometric Raw Signal Data, along with our suite of Smart Sensor Wearables, Device Firmware, SKD, and APIs, reaffirms our dedication to providing unparalleled biometric insights for improved patient outcomes.
