MIAMI--( BUSINESS WIRE)--DermaSensor Inc., a leader in AI-powered skin cancer diagnostic technology, today announced a major expansion of its U.S. commercial strategy through a series of strategic partnerships to accelerate adoption of its FDA cleared, handheld skin cancer detection device across primary care, enterprise healthcare, and federal healthcare systems.
"Our mission is to empower clinicians with data-driven, breakthrough technology that improves skin cancer care," said Cody Simmons, Co-Founder & CEO of DermaSensor. "These partnerships represent an important milestone in our commercialization strategy.
The Company's commercial expansion includes 1) an approved supplier relationship with Henry Schein, Inc., the world’s largest provider of healthcare solutions to office-based dental and medical practitioners, 2) a new customer partnership with a major healthcare institution that employs tens of thousands of providers across the U.S., 3) a commercial partnership with MedTech MedCare (MTMC), the largest U.S. medical device contract sales company and 4) a partnership with Medical Place as DermaSensor's exclusive reseller to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Together, these partnerships establish a scalable commercial infrastructure that significantly expands access to DermaSensor's technology to further accelerate the Company's growth.
"Our mission is to empower clinicians with data-driven, breakthrough technology that improves skin cancer care," said Cody Simmons, Co-Founder & CEO of DermaSensor. "These partnerships represent an important milestone in our commercialization strategy. They greatly expand our reach across community practices, enterprise healthcare organizations, and federal healthcare systems, positioning us well to impact millions of patients in the years to come, with over 40,000 suspicious lesions already scanned to date."
DermaSensor is the first and only device cleared by the FDA that provides any kind of risk assessment for the three common skin cancers. The AI-powered, non-invasive technology provides an immediate, objective skin cancer risk result to support physicians’ decision-making for lesions suggestive of melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and/or squamous cell carcinoma. The FDA pivotal studies demonstrated 96% device sensitivity 1 with over 1,000 patients, and that device use reduces missed skin cancer referrals by more than 50% 2 with over 100 primary care physicians.
New Industry Partnerships
DermaSensor continues to execute against its commercialization strategy through several significant initiatives that expand access to its technology across enterprise healthcare, independent practices, and federal healthcare systems:
Together, these four major commercial partnerships significantly expand DermaSensor’s reach across the U.S. healthcare market and strengthen the infrastructure needed to support broad adoption. With expanded access secured across enterprise healthcare organizations, independent practices, national distribution channels, and federal healthcare systems, DermaSensor is well positioned to accelerate commercialization and advance its mission to save lives by improving early skin cancer detection.
