The ResApp Health Ltd (ASX: RAP) share price soared higher today following the release of a positive market announcement.
During market open, shares in the digital health company surged to an intra-day high of 12 cents. However, a portion of those gains have been given back, with the ResApp share price closeing at 11.5 cents, up 9.5%.
Let’s see what news ResApp updated investors with.
A new software app for Android
ResApp advised that it has now launched its software application ResAppDx on select Android devices.
The smartphone-based acute respiratory diagnostic test has been developed for use by clinics for a range of health issues. These include lower respiratory tract disease, croup, pneumonia, asthma/reactive airway disease exacerbation, COPD exacerbation and bronchiolitis.
It is estimated that there are more than 2.5 billion active Android devices worldwide, thus expanding ResApp’s addressable market. Android users in Australia and Europe number more than 11 million and 450 million, respectively.
The company said the launch followed extensive testing and met high standards identifying respiratory diseases. ResApp will work with its existing partnerships with Coviu and Phenix Health.
The company will now focus its efforts on launching SleepCheck for Android. This will allow users to assess their risk of sleep apnoea on almost all smartphone devices. It is expected the rollout will be in the coming months.
What did management say?
ResApp CEO and managing director Tony Keating said launching ResAppDx on select Android devices was a major achievement for ResApp:
The company has undertaken extensive testing to ensure our offering continues to meet the high standards set by regulative bodies and provides clinicians with a best in class solution to test for respiratory disease during telehealth consultations.
ResApp has established partnerships in the Australian telehealth sector through both Coviu and Phenix Healthcare and we will now pursue the launch of ResAppDx for Android across their respective platforms. Further, we will continue to pursue similar partnerships in Europe, which have the potential to give us access to a much larger and established telehealth market.
Forget what just happened. We think this stock could be Australia’s next MONSTER IPO…
One little-known Australian IPO has doubled in value since January, and renowned Australian Moonshot stock picker Anirban Mahanti sees a potential millionaire-maker in waiting…
Because ‘Doc’ Mahanti believes this fast-growing company has all the hallmarks of genuine Moonshot potential, forget ‘buy now pay later’, this stock could be the next hot stock on the ASX.
