ALRT Diabetes Solution Platform is Cleared by Health Canada

ALR Technologies Inc. ("ALRT") (OTCQB: ALRT), the diabetes management company, is pleased to announce the clearance of the ALRT Diabetes Solution software by Health Canada. Canada requires an MDEL for distribution of Software Medical Device Class 1 (the classification of the ALRT Diabetes Solution software).

ALRT expects to receive clearance for the complementary blood glucose meter and test strips in the first quarter of 2021. This is required because of the addition of Bluetooth capability to the meter previously cleared in Canada.

ALRT is planning to launch the ALRT Diabetes Solution in Canada in the second quarter of 2021. This will be a significant benefit to healthcare providers conducting timely and effective diabetes medication reviews. Controlling the progression of diabetes will bend down the treatment cost curve and reduce the overall healthcare costs due to co-morbidities. In some Canadian provinces, current reimbursement for therapy assessment will cover the cost of the platform, testing supplies, and professional staff who will review the data.

The role that remote medical care can provide has increased significantly around the world during the recent pandemic. Health plans are now recognizing its value by adding reimbursement for providers who utilize remote patient outreach platforms. Canada has been a leader in providing best care with this new delivery model.

According to Diabetes Canada, 3,772,000 Canadians are currently diagnosed with diabetes. They estimate that there are 11,232,000 Canadians with diabetes, undiagnosed diabetes and prediabetes. Diabetes Canada also expects the number of diagnosed patients to increase by 30% between 2020 and 2030. The future health and financial impact of diabetes in Canada, combined with recent advancements in technology and remote care make this the perfect time for Canada to implement the ALRT Diabetes Solution.
