MYDX Achieves 40,000+ Cannabis Consumer Generated Pre-Clinical Data Points Growing at 100% Year Over Year
Smart Devices Solidify the Critical Need for Community Participation in Generating Big Data and Formulating Cannabis Therapeutics
(firmenpresse) - SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/10/17 -- (OTCQB: MYDX), a science and technology company and creator of MyDx® (My Diagnostic), the first multi-use handheld chemical analyzer designed for the Cannabis professional and retail consumer to correlate the chemical profile of cannabis with how it makes consumers feel and what it helps them relieve, today announced its continued advancement of its crowdsourced database and how the MyDx community is playing an instrumental role in helping medical cannabis patients find relief by identifying the right chemical formulation for their specific needs.
Since cannabis remains a Schedule I Controlled Substance, researchers have been unable to administer the drug to large numbers of patients to better understand its clinical efficacy. While some companies have started small-scale clinical trials for certain ailments, there''s a growing need for a larger-scale source of consumer driven data that can support public safety, increase transparency, expand the drug discovery pipeline and improve the ability for researchers and patients to find the right chemical profiles for their individual needs.
"This reminds me of my days at Pfizer where we were looking for new ways to create Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients in a more organic fashion," stated Daniel Yazbeck, Chief Executive Officer of MyDx. "The 400+ chemicals found in cannabis will offer researchers access to a new class of ''green Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients'', or what I''d like to refer to as ''gAPI'' that can arguably treat disease and help people improve their lives. The value proposition is very clear."
MyDx launched one of its first smart devices, the world''s first handheld cannabis chemical analyzer, back in late 2015. Since the launch, the community has submitted over 40,000 unique data points that will assist in identifying which chemical profiles are treating various ailments and what side effects they are generating. MyDx is now actively analyzing this data and is looking for very specific cannabinoid and terpene ratio that can be used in formulations that help relieve the most commonly tracked ailment by the community. In the near future, the company plans to share select relevant datasets surrounding the top diseases that people are finding relief for using cannabis, as well as the integrity of specific strains or brands they are identified by.
"The ability to gather therapeutic data on a worldwide scale by tracking what people are consuming based on a chemical profile and what ailment it is helping them relieve is a benchmark that I believe will become a gold standard that will change the way we study and formulate drugs in the future," stated Daniel Yazbeck. "As important, this process allows us tap into the basic human instinct of each member of the community to help one another by sharing their experience and results to support a drug development process that will ultimately help treat disease and improve people''s lives."
