VANCOUVER, BC, March 30, 2023 /CNW/ - PanGenomic Health Inc. ("PanGenomic Health" or the "Company") (CSE: NARA), is pleased to announce its subsidiary, MUJN Diagnostics Inc. ("MUJN Diagnostics"), has signed a master services agreement with Hemex Health Inc. ("Hemex Health"), a Portland, Oregon-based medical diagnostic device company focused on developing life changing testing solutions for the point-of-care market. Hemex Health will assist MUJN Diagnostics in developing a diagnostics system, which can be used to support patients being treated with alternative therapies for brain health. This system will objectively track the efficacy of a patient's treatment program. As part of this engagement, MUJN Diagnostics will develop proprietary brain biomarker diagnostic panels, and Hemex Health will enhance their Gazelle point of care platform ("Gazelle") to analyze these tests.

"New promising alternative therapies for a variety of brain and mental health conditions and disorders, such as the use of psychedelics as a part of a structured treatment program, need objective data for clinicians and their patients to track and quantify the efficacy of their treatment."

Patti White, CEO of Hemex Health, said: "We designed our Gazelle technology to provide advanced capabilities at point of care, and we're excited to have Gazelle provide the analysis of these new biomarkers."
