Importantly we've had a very positive response to ResAppDx from our patients, they can perform the test easily, understand the rationale and see immediate benefit in their telehealth consultation with our clinician. We are absolutely convinced that the use of new technologies like ResAppDx will enable an advancement of our digital health platform.'
