Paragon Care signs collaboration agreement with Toshiba Medical for MIDAS Software

The Directors of Paragon Care Limited (ASX: PGC) ("Paragon" or the "Company") are pleased to announce that the Company has entered into a collaboration agreement with Toshiba Medical Systems ANZ Pty Limited ("Toshiba Medical") whereby Toshiba Medical will include the option of Paragon's MIDAS software solution in their current "end-to-end ultrasound solution" across the Toshiba Medical Australia and New Zealand ultrasound network.

Key highlights

  • Toshiba Medical is a leader in the radiology ultrasound market, which will now be able to leverage the MIDAS platform

  • Paragon signs its first reseller agreement with global leader for its MIDAS interpretative reporting platform

  • The agreement with Toshiba Medical enables healthcare professionals using Toshiba Medical's ultrasounds to access MIDAS's customised, cloud-based reporting platform

  • International reselling rights are included in the agreement, allowing the potential for MIDAS to be offered worldwide at a later stage

  • The agreement is effective immediately with training of Toshiba Medical's sales team planned for early in the New Year.

Paragon's Board and management are excited to announce the first reseller agreement with a global leader in the ultrasound market for the MIDAS interpretive reporting platform. Since MIDAS was acquired by Paragon in July 2016, significant progress has been made completing the product suite and initiating commercialisation. The agreement with Toshiba Medical represents a major milestone.

MIDAS is a world first, fully customisable, interpretive reporting platform for a range of diagnostic medical examinations, including ultrasound, echo, obstetrics, musculoskeletal and many others. The platform produces a provisional diagnostic report in just a few seconds by interpreting the measurements and observations from the study. This innovative, cloud based web platform significantly boosts productivity in practice workflow and can connect with any system across any network globally.

Commenting on the agreement, Paragon's Managing Director Mr Mark Simari said:

"We are delighted to welcome Toshiba Medical as a partner for our MIDAS software. We are excited about the future of the MIDAS offering and implementing a collaboration agreement with Toshiba Medical. The reputation and reach of Toshiba Medical highlights the potential of the product. Paragon looks forward to capitalising on the growth opportunities within the eHealth sector and expects MIDAS to drive a solid contribution to the Company's future performance."
