Cloud DX (TSX-V:CDX, OTCQB:CDXFF) Inc, a provider of virtual care and remote patient monitoring solutions, has announced a new commercial agreement with Dagamma Ecommerce Solutions Inc, which is focused on providing health monitoring solutions for growing families.
The move brings Cloud DX (TSX-V:CDX, OTCQB:CDXFF)'s award-winning Connected Health remote patient-monitoring solution to expectant mothers at risk of maternal hypertension. The North American disruptor in virtual care based in Kitchener, Ontario and Brooklyn, New York, noted that Cloud DX (TSX-V:CDX, OTCQB:CDXFF) Connected Health has been used by top obstetricians to manage maternal blood pressure in office and clinical settings since 2017.
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDPs) or complications from high blood pressure is one of the most common medical problems during pregnancy. It can include for the mother, chronic (or pre-existing) hypertension, gestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia, eclampsia and is one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.

Risk factors include a mother's age being over 35, a history of migraines, existing hypertension, and auto-immune diseases. High blood pressure complicates about 10% of pregnancies, according to Cleveland Clinic.
Under the new, signed agreement, Dagamma will market a Cloud DX-branded, guided self-care maternal blood pressure program to purchasers through its distribution channels, including its website babydoppler.com and through other retail and e-commerce partners, including Amazon, Walmart, Target and BestBuy.
“Cloud DX and Dagamma will share revenues,” said the company.
Dagamma's babydoppler.com site receives an average of 70,000 unique visitors per month and processes more than 10,000 transactions per month.
"This new distribution partnership dramatically scales up Cloud DX's ability to improve outcomes for Connected Health end users. With more than 120,000 completed transactions per year through Dagamma's combined channels in the US, there is clearly strong demand for at-home tools to improve maternal health," Cloud DX CEO Robert Kaul said in a statement. "Our mission is to make healthcare better for everyone, and this new relationship meets that goal head-on."
The program includes a Cloud DX integrated wireless blood pressure cuff and Connected Health app along with educational materials, coaching support from Cloud DX staff and around five months of automated monitoring covering pre- and post-delivery periods, said the company.
If the Cloud DX remote automated monitoring software detects a trend towards elevated blood pressure, the user is notified and can print or save a report of her vital signs to forward to her physician. Cloud DX will not supply medical services or advice through the program. “Sales of Cloud DX programs with Dagamma are expected to begin on or before September 1, 2021,” said the company.
"Cloud DX Connected Health has given me extreme confidence in accurately diagnosing significant changes in blood pressure, particularly in high-risk pregnancies," said Dr Sandy Sharma, an obstetrician in Oakville, Ontario who has used Cloud DX hypertension management with patients in his clinical practice.
Cloud DX will be hosting its second-quarter investor update and earnings call on August 17, 2021, at 1:30 pm ET. To register please use this link.
