Regulatory News:

BIOCORP (Paris:ALCOR) (FR0012788065 – ALCOR / Eligible PEA‐PME), a French company specialized in the design, development, and manufacturing of innovative medical devices, announces today the signature of a new agreement with H&T Presspart (a division of the German-based Heitkamp & Thumann Group), whereby H&T Presspart is licenced to sell and promote BIOCORP’s Inspair^TM smart add-on device for metered-dose inhalers.

The partnership covers the integration and commercialization of Inspair^TM , a smart sensor designed by BIOCORP that transforms inhalers into connected devices to help patients suffering from asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the delivery of their treatment.

This partnership will allow BIOCORP to integrate its connected solution with the most popular inhalers on the market, while leveraging its partner's extensive sales network to distribute Inspair^TM . With this solution, H&T Presspart, the market leader in respiratory drug delivery devices (1,2 billion devices and cans produced each year, 85% of market share), will be able to expand its product portfolio in the field of digital healthcare solutions beyond its existing embedded eMDI^TM platform with an add-on device that will improve patient adherence and will help patients to manage their conditions more effectively.

Christian Kraetzig, President of H&T Presspart commented: “This strategic partnership underlines our commitment to forging alliances that accelerate the development, global scale-up and commercialisation of novel drug delivery solutions for patients”.

Eric Dessertenne, CEO of BIOCORP added: "We are very proud to entrust the distribution of Inspair^TM to H&T Presspart, one of the world leaders in the respiratory disease market. This new major agreement further positions BIOCORP as a provider of connected health solutions. After our success with Mallya^TM , BIOCORP now has a second solution with very high potential both in terms of business and the number of possible applications with Inspair^TM ”.

Inspair^TM provides an innovative and effective response to the needs of these two diseases: it directly affects compliance with treatment and strengthens the link between the patient and the medical staff by providing real-time therapeutic monitoring. This smart sensor converts any pressurized metered dose inhaler into a connected device. Inspair^TM records daily inhalation data, monitors proper aerosol preparation (which must be shaken before use), assesses inhalation timing (hand-to-mouth coordination) and provides useful insights into the various stages of inhalation.
