Relay Medical Corp. and Fio Corporation together through their joint venture, Fionet Rapid Response Group ("FRR") ­ reported on the signing of a definitive agreement and provide an update on the deployment to combat the malaria epidemic in Rwanda, East Africa. The Rwanda Ministry of Health signed a procurement agreement with FRR to deploy the Fionet Platform for decentralized malaria testing. Under the terms of the agreement, FRR will receive CAD 750,000, which has been already secured by the Ministry, to deploy the Fionet Platform for six months for use by 180 community-based healthcare workers. The six-month deployment is a pilot to evaluate a national scale up, which could then lead to a subsequent agreement to deploy Fionet for Rwanda's 60,000 healthcare workers. The Fionet Platform can enhance the quality of healthcare delivered in decentralized health centers, health posts, and communities in Rwanda. Frontline health care professionals will use Fionet Mobile Devices to support frontline testing through the continuous capture and transmission of comprehensive medical data to a centralized aggregation point. In real time, Fionet Portals allow off-site supervisors and managers to track and direct frontline action based on accurate epidemiological information. Fionet's accuracy, data capture and distribution capability was demonstrated in a paper published in a technical journal by the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency. Fionet has proven to be a reliable rapid diagnostic testing solution during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
