Relay Medical Corp. and Fio Corporation reported on the previously announced sales agreement with the U.S. Government, through the U.S. Agency for International Development ("USAID"), to deploy FRR's Fionet Platform ("Fionet") to fight a malaria pandemic in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC"). USAID and FRR have identified the first 144 remote community-based health sites to receive the medical platform which combines point-of-care, connected handheld devices, and AI-powered data software services. With a budget of nearly USD 20 billion per year, USAID is the larger aid agency in the world and accounts for more than half of all U.S. foreign assistance. USAID is responsible for a third of the USD 3 billion spent globally on fighting the malaria pandemic. There are over 200 million cases of malaria per year. Malaria kills over 400,000 people annually, of whom two thirds are children under the age of 5. DRC has the world's second higher number of malaria cases and deaths. USAID chose FRR through a competitive process that evaluated robust alternatives and was impressed that the Fionet Platform devices showed malaria positivity rates substantially more accurately than conventional data systems suggesting a systemic breakdown in conventional data capture, which Fionet remedies. Subsequent scientific analysis has supported the accuracy of Fionet results and led to further deployment to solve the data challenge in clinics not currently equipped with the Fionet Platform. Fionet's accuracy, data capture and distribution capability was also demonstrated in a paper published in a technical journal by U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency5. The DRC is an important country in central Africa. It has a population of more than 90 million people and a landmass that is half the size of the whole European Union. It is vital for its mining industry and mineral reserves producing over 70% of the world's supply of cobalt (essential for lithium batteries, jet and turbine engines, and medical treatments) as well as substantial supply of copper, diamond, tantalum, tin and gold. The DRC also plays an important geo-strategic role as it borders nine countries and is at the crossroads of African economic development. Fionet Mobile Devices support frontline testing, and continuously capture and transmit comprehensive data to a centralized aggregation point. In real time, Fionet Portals allow off-site supervisors to track and direct frontline action, displaying accurate epidemiological information and providing actionable insights. A recently published medical research paper demonstrated that 6 Fionet's quality was comparable to expert lab technicians . Prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Fionet was successfully used to test and track over one million patients in remote settings around the world for infectious diseases including malaria, HIV and dengue fever. The Fionet Platform was most recently deployed for rapid COVID-19 testing in Canada's large international airport. Ongoing testing engagements include COVID-19 rapid testing with LifeLabs throughout Canada.
