TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 28, 2022 / AI/ML Innovations Inc. (CSE:AIML)(OTCQB:AIMLF)(FWB:42FB), a company committed to acquiring and advancing Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning technologies that address urgent societal needs, is pleased to announce that its majority-owned subsidiary, Health Gauge Inc., has entered into a License Agreement with MedWatch Technologies, Inc. of Las Vegas, Nevada. MedWatch has agreed to license Health Gauge's patented health management technology ("Licensed Patent") and proprietary AI-powered software ("Licensed Software") for use in MedWatch's non-invasive blood glucose and other blood chemistry monitoring solutions for diabetes, and the health & wellness market.

"There is an opportunity for this strategic alliance between Health Gauge and MedWatch to positively impact the epidemic of diabetes," said Tim Daniels, Chairman of AI/ML Innovations, Inc. "In the US alone, medical costs related to diabetes are $327 billion per year. A staggering $1 out of every $4 in US healthcare expenditures is spent on caring for people with diabetes. Human costs are even greater, with over 34 million Americans having diabetes and another 88 million who are pre-diabetic, resulting in diabetes being the third leading cause of death today. Crucially, about 1 in 5 people with diabetes don't know they have it, making improved access to an easy to use, inexpensive, blood glucose monitoring tool ever more important. As lifestyle choices can dramatically impact both the risk of getting diabetes as well as the outcome of the disease, MedWatch™ anticipates being a disruptive tool which helps to improve patients' outcomes through convenient and painless blood-sugar monitoring, allowing for the micro-management of the disease, and aiding in the mitigation of lifestyle-related diabetes risks."

Key Provisions of the License Agreement include:

Agreement Term:

  • Initial term is 7 years, with automatic renewal terms (on review) over the life of the Licensed Patent

Annual License Fee:

  • MedWatch will pay Health Gauge an Annual License Fee of US$120,000 per year (plus royalties) for the License Agreement term

Royalties:

  • MedWatch will pay Health Gauge a royalty of two percent (2%) of gross sales of all MedWatch products that rely on the Licensed Patent and/or Licensed Software, anticipated to equate to US$5.00 to US$8.00 per device sold
  • MedWatch will pay Health Gauge additional royalties for other software services that may be provided as a value-added solution

Other Fees:

  • MedWatch will pay additional fees, on a "cost-plus" pricing basis, to utilize Health Gauge resources to support joint initiatives and product or application development in non-invasive digital health solutions

Termination Fees:

  • MedWatch may terminate the License Agreement early without cause, upon payment of a US$2 million early termination fee

"We are pleased to announce we've signed a license with Health Gauge that enables us to make use of their proprietary technology covering the design and functionality of biometric sensors to gather required information for glucose determination," stated Mike Moore, CEO of MedWatch Technologies, Inc. "Additionally, we have licensed the use of the Health Gauge best-in-class health monitoring and management software platform that will provide us a turn-key cloud-based solution for users of our glucose monitoring devices. We are excited to establish this relationship with Health Gauge and look forward to the opportunities it provides us."
