April 18, MedX Health and PharmaChoice Announce Agreement to Launch MedX Teledermatology Screening Platform Across Canada


April 18, 2023, Mississauga, Ontario ‐‐ MedX Health Corp. (“MedX” or the “Company“) (TSXV: MDX), a global leader in teledermatology, is pleased to announce a Memorandum of Understanding for the launch of a new commercialization pilot project (the “Pilot Project”) with PharmaChoice Canada (“PharmaChoice”), one of Canada’s fastest‐growing pharmacy groups, with more than 1000 independent pharmacy owners and operators across its PharmaChoice and RxHealthMed brands.

PharmaChoice Canada, one of Canada’s fastest‐growing pharmacy groups, with more than 1000 independent pharmacy owners and operators, announces its partnership with MedX Health to launch a pilot program of MedX’s DermSecure® Screening Platform


The Pilot Project is scheduled to commence in May 2023 and to run for a three‐month assessment period. Initially, the Pilot Project will be conducted at twenty (20) PharmaChoice locations in four Provinces: British Columbia, Ontario, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Depending on assessments, success and demand, the Pilot Project may be expanded up to fifty (50) locations across Canada. Upon successful completion of the Pilot Project, PharmaChoice and MedX anticipate that access to MedX’s teledermatology screening service will be rolled out across the entire PharmaChoice chain of pharmacies.
“PharmaChoice Canada is delighted to partner with MedX in bringing its leading teledermatology assessment and screening technology to the communities that we serve,” stated Curtis Chafe, Vice President. “Offering MedX’s cloud‐based DermSecure® Screening platform will provide our customers with remote access from our PharmaChoice and RxHealthMed locations to quick dermatological assessment of pigmented lesions, moles and skin conditions. We are very proud to partner with MedX Health to bring this innovative and life‐changing service to our clients.”


“We are honoured to work with PharmaChoice Canada on this most important initiative. In Canada, access to dermatological care is extremely limited, with only 1.7 dermatologists per 100 000 Canadians and a total of just 634 active dermatologists Canada‐wide. PharmaChoice Canada has a trusted relationship with the communities it serves. Providing this much‐needed dermatological service reinforces their commitment to their community. Their “Advice for Life” brand ensures customers receive the best advice and services, and this service will save many Canadian lives,” stated Mike Druhan, MedX President, Dermatology Services.


PharmaChoice will pilot MedX’s cloud‐based DermSecure® technology platform that allows patients quick and easy access to a qualified dermatologist. A single scan by a MedX SIAscope® captures five high‐resolution images of suspicious moles, lesions and skin conditions, including four spectrophotometric images taken 2mm below the skin’s surface. The MedX SIAscope®, coupled with its HD Camera, enables a technician in a pharmacy consulting room to take a clinical image of a patient’s suspicious mole or lesion which, together with the patient’s medical history, is uploaded onto the DermSecure® platform and assessed by a dermatologist within 72 hours, thus enabling a rapid response when the need arises.
