4 April 2024 – Actxa Pte Ltd (“Actxa”), an AI-driven deep tech company headquartered in Singapore, has signed a Memorandum of Agreement (“MOU”) with Instytut Medycyny Innowacyjnej sp.z o.o. (“IMI”), a research and medical technologies institute based in Poland on 7 March 2024. This MOU marks the beginning of a strategic partnership for collaboration and market distribution of Actxa’s BGEM, a non-invasive Blood Glucose Evaluation and Monitoring Technology and other Actxa technologies in Poland.
At the heart of this partnership is Actxa’s groundbreaking BGEM technology - the world's first non-invasive blood glucose monitoring technology. Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence ("AI"), wearable technologies and signal processing, BGEM tracks and identifies the risk of impaired glucose regulation.
By analysing inter-beat-interval data from consumer-grade wearables equipped with photoplethysmography ("PPG") sensors, BGEM calculates the digital biomarkers associated with prediabetes or Type 2 diabetes mellitus ("T2DM") symptoms, empowering users to monitor, track, and identify fluctuations in their blood glucose levels. This proactive approach allows users to implement timely lifestyle adjustments, effectively mitigating the risk or delaying the onset of diabetes.
Under this partnership, IMI will be an authorised licensee with the rights to use BGEM and incorporate the technology in its brand of wearable products for distribution in Poland. Additionally, IMI will play a pivotal role in facilitating the exploration of opportunities within countries, governments and industries to sell and market wearables with BGEM and other Actxa technologies.
Marcus Soo, Chief Executive Officer of Actxa, said, “Our collaboration with IMI signifies an important milestone in our journey toward global expansion. This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence in the tech industry. Together with IMI, we embark on a transformative endeavour, combining our strengths to propel our business to new heights internationally.
This alliance not only strengthens our position in the global market but also allows our technologies, such as BGEM, to benefit a broader community. As we join forces with IMI, we are poised for unparalleled growth, setting the stage for a future defined by international success and groundbreaking achievements.”
Founder of IMI, Professor Mieczysław Pasowicz shared, “At IMI, we are driven by a shared vision for a future where healthcare is transformed through innovation. Our collaboration with Actxa speaks to our unwavering dedication as we bring their groundbreaking technologies to Poland. Our strategic partnership aims to revolutionise healthcare, fostering a future where cutting-edge solutions positively impact lives.
This partnership represents a significant stride towards a healthier and more technologically advanced world.”
This alliance between Actxa and IMI sets the stage for Actxa’s innovative technologies to expand globally. As both companies continue to leverage their strengths and expertise, they are poised to drive positive change and contribute to the advancement of a healthier world.
