HAMILTON, Ontario, Jan. 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Reliq Health Technologies Inc. (TSXV:RHT or OTCQB:RQHTF) (“Reliq” or the “Company”), a technology company that develops innovative mobile health (mHealth) and telemedicine solutions for the community-based healthcare market, today announced the release of the latest version of its proprietary software platform, iUGO Care v.2019.
“We are very pleased to announce the release of the newest version of the iUGO Care platform, iUGO Care v.2019,” said Dr. Lisa Crossley, CEO of Reliq Health Technologies. “This latest version includes integration with new devices such as the new iHealth ECG3 patch and several Continuous Glucose Monitors. This release also introduces innovative new features such as wound care management.
