About MedX Health

OUR MISSION
To develop and implement non-invasive, practical, drug-free and cost-effective skin analysis and assessment systems for use by trained medical professionals, as well as light therapeutics and imaging systems that can help to save lives and enhance patients’ quality of life and improve standards of care.

HISTORY AND OVERVIEW
MedX Health Corp. is a medical device company that has been operating since 1999. Initially, the Company was focused on research, development, manufacturing and distribution of phototherapeutic medical devices, which use light energy in lower-level laser and LED. 
In 2011, the Company purchased the assets and business related to a technology called SIAscopy™, which is a medical device that is used to scan suspicious moles and lesions.

SEEING BENEATH THE SURFACE
The SIAscopy technology utilizes light and its remittance to view up to 2 mm beneath suspicious moles and lesions in a pain free, non-invasive manner, with its software then creating real-time images for physicians and dermatologists to evaluate all types of moles or lesions within seconds. These products are Health Canada, FDA (US), ARTG and CE cleared for use in Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand, the European Union and Turkey.

THE HEALING POWER OF LIGHT
The Company’s original products, photobiomodulation (“PBM”) medical devices, use light energy in lower-level lasers and LEDs to provide effective treatment offering rapid, drug-free and non-invasive healing in the rehabilitation and dental markets, treating pain, tissue damage, swelling and inflammation. The Company has sold thousands of these products to clinical practitioners, academic facilities, hospitals, long-term care facilities, and to athletes and sports teams.
