G Medical Innovations Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ:GMVD) (“G Medical” or the "Company"), a Telehealth, medical device, and remote patient monitoring company providing clinical-grade solutions for consumers, medical professionals, and healthcare institutions, today announced it has formed an agreement with Serology Covid Testing to provide zero-cost COVID-19 testing to students, families, and school employees across the State of California. G Medical’s wholly owned subsidiary, G Medical Tests and Services, Inc., will provide end-to-end testing services including setup; certified medical staff; testing kits, supplies and necessary personal protective equipment; and an online patient portal to easily administer tests and provide digital certified lab results.
"It's an honor for us to partner with Serology Covid Testing and collaborate with educators and public health officials across the State of California to help keep children and their families safe," said Dr. Yacov Geva, President and CEO of G Medical. "Testing programs like these give schools the freedom and flexibility they need to halt transmission chains and minimize disturbance to all of the vital activities that take place in school communities daily."
As phase one of the agreement, the co-branded testing venture includes contracts with multiple private and public institutions enabling more than 5,000 students (not including families and faculty) to be tested weekly. On average, G Medical expects to collect an average of $197.88 per patient encounter, which could amount to more than $1,000,000 in gross revenue per week. The agreement stems from a shared commitment to "keeping schools open" by assisting in the recovery of the U.S. teaching market, reducing educational staff turnover, and assisting in the reversal of the pandemic's disproportionate impact on the education-sector workforce.
As the Omicron variant continues to escalate, California school systems are facing teacher shortages, lack of rapid testing options, and the daunting task of keeping schools open for its students statewide.
"We are thrilled to establish this long-term partnership with G Medical. This relationship is especially meaningful to us because our testing services are now endorsed by a pioneering healthcare company," said Caroline Grotewiel, CEO of Serology Covid Testing. "As a result of our collaborative efforts, we can help students, educators, and their families have more peace of mind, and our classrooms will be more conducive to in-person learning.”
Communities across the country have turned to COVID-19 testing to monitor the virus as more vaccine trials for people under the age of 16 are just getting started, and efforts to track and mitigate viral spread remain critical. Together, the companies will offer on-site Rapid Antigen Testing with confirmatory PCR tests, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
“Hundreds of students and staff have tested positive for the virus since schools reopened after the holidays, forcing some districts to switch to remote learning just days after reopening,” added Andrew Benavente, Vice President of Serology Covid Testing. “By implementing these free testing services at their doorstep, we can empower students and teaching staff to return to school as quickly and safely as possible after a potential exposure.”
"G Medical has long been at the forefront of medical devices, offering remote patient monitoring tools to help keep patients healthy. We're excited to expand our portfolio to offer COVID-19 testing options that help to detect the virus early and enable individuals, businesses, and schools to take appropriate action to prevent further spread in the community," concluded Geva.
