Thank you, honourable Wayne Easter. My name is Shane Bishop, CEO of Catalyst Healthcare. For reference only, my company is an integrator of technology solutions that enable patients and persons to take their medications as prescribed.
There are medical devices entering the market at this time, such as the one under my arm, which reside in patients' homes and communicate live back to pharmacies. These devices alert patients to take their medications on time, and spit out medications so you enable and ensure that patients take them safely, thereby keeping this high-risk population out of the hospital and decreasing the burden on the health care system.
It is my understanding that the committee made a recommendation last year around diabetic devices. I am here to seek the same type of treatment with this type of device. Keeping people out of the hospital is what it's all about.
Thank you so much.
