Compumedics Somfit® Commercialisation & Sales Activities Update

September 20, 2022

Compumedics Limited (ASX: CMP) (“Compumedics” or “Company”) is pleased to update the market in relation to various commercialisation activities regarding its Somfit® technology platform.

 

Sales of the Somfit® services and product have commenced in Australia and in Europe, mainly to research institutions, universities, and elite sports related organisations. These initial sales (about $200,000) have allowed Compumedics to start the real-world validation of the technology and allow the Company to generate publications in support of the use of Somfit® services and product in these settings.

 

  • Somfit® services and product have also been purchased for two large Insomnia studies currently underway in Australia, which will allow Compumedics to gather data to develop a deep learning algorithm for use in a future Insomnia related product.
  • Somfit® services and product have been purchased for evaluation in Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) management in remote mining sites.
  • Somfit® services and product have been purchased for evaluation in pre-screening cardiac surgery patients.
  • Somfit® services and product have been purchased for evaluation as a patient monitor in the ICU (intensive care unit) setting.

 

The go-to market strategy for point of care testing has been developed around an initial focus in Australia and east coast of the USA and is currently being executed, targeting three main areas:

 

  • The existing Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Home Sleep Testing (HST) market
  • The primary care market for sleep screening, OSA diagnosis and supporting the diagnosis of Insomnia and circadian rhythm disorders
  • eHealth backbone (Nexus 360) across east coast of USA (a forerunner to home testing)

 

In August 2022, a leading provider of HST services in Australia signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to evaluate the Somfit® services and product technology.  They have signed the MOU to use the Somfit® services and product technology exclusively within their current service operations, with an expectation to move 100% of their home sleep tests to the Somfit® services and product technology over a 24-month period, commencing in January 2023, subject to certain evaluation milestones.
