QHSLab Announces Major Research and Development Milestones for 2024: Doubling Assessment Completion and Advancing Digital Medicine Innovation
WEST PALM BEACH, FL, September 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - QHSLab, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCQB: USAQ), a leader in digital health and point-of-care technologies designed to empower clinicians with proactive, value-based healthcare solutions, today shared exciting updates on its Research & Development (R&D)activities, and patient outcomes for the year to date. The Company continues advancing healthcare technology by integrating AI-driven digital tools designed to improve clinical decision-making and patient care.
Year-to-date as of September 2024, QHSLab's platform has processed approximately 50,000 assessments, more than doubling the number of assessments completed during the same period last year. This represents a meteoric rise in assessment completions with the Company quickly bringing the total number of completed assessments to the 100K milestone, supporting routine clinical use and ongoing research into allergy, depression, anxiety, and chronic pain.
"Our robust real-world data collection and innovative technologies have enabled us to drive meaningful improvements in patient outcomes, addressing both physical and mental health at the point of care," said Marcos Sanchez-Gonzalez, MD, PhD, VP of Medical & Scientific Affairs at QHSLab. "The significant progress we've made in understanding the link between allergic rhinitis and mental health conditions like anxiety and depression demonstrates our commitment to advancing holistic care solutions for the patients served by the medical practices we support through their use of our QHSLab platform."
Research & Development Initiatives
QHSLab's R&D efforts remain focused on advancing digital medicine technologies that empower healthcare providers and enhance patient engagement. With a commitment to addressing chronic conditions like allergic rhinitis, anxiety, and depression, the Company continues to explore critical connections between mental and physical health.
"In 2024, our R&D program is pushing new boundaries in innovation. We are committed to reducing the non-clinical burden on providers while improving the overall patient experience and outcomes," said Troy Grogan, President and CEO of QHSLab. "The unprecedented growth in assessment completions this year underscores the value of our platform and its ability to drive impactful, data-driven care."
Publications, Abstracts, and Ongoing Research
QHSLab is proud to announce that two key abstracts have been accepted for presentation at the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (ACAAI) conference in Boston next month. These abstracts showcase the unique capabilities of the QHSLab platform in allergy management and its connection to mental health outcomes:
| 1. | Longitudinal Study: The impact of help-seeking behaviors on allergic rhinitis and mental health outcomes | |
| 2. | Cross-Sectional Study: The association between poor allergy control and increased depression and anxiety symptoms |
These studies, which are part of the Company's enhanced real-world data capture capabilities, highlight significant findings linking allergic rhinitis to mental health outcomes, including improved SNOT-22 and PHQ-GAD16 scores for patients actively seeking care for their allergies and emotional well-being.
Additionally, QHSLab has submitted two abstracts for poster presentations at the 2025 American Psychiatric Association Annual Meeting, which focus on the Company's latest digital therapeutic interventions for mental health and chronic pain. These abstracts explore the effectiveness of QHSLab's digital platform in reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and chronic pain through integrated care. Preliminary findings suggest that users of the Company's QHSLab health journeys series report lower levels of depression, anxiety, pain, and allergy scores after using the resources for just a few months. Although the findings are promising, the Company is not jumping to conclusions. The Company has ongoing R&D efforts to understand better the therapeutic potential of using the QHSLab health journeys resources - more to come.
Looking Ahead
QHSLab continues to leverage its vast real-world data and innovative digital platform to expand research on the interconnections between physical and mental health, exploring new avenues for delivering high-quality, patient-centered care. With more assessments being conducted daily and ongoing studies in allergy, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, QHSLab remains at the forefront of transforming healthcare.
