Setting the stage for a strong 2024 and beyond
One of the most notable achievements this quarter has been the successful implementation of our new sales model in the US market. Under this model, clinics gain access to the CADScor System on a consignment basis, coupled with monthly minimum usage thresholds for single-use patches. This approach not only reduces financial uncertainties for users but also fosters long-term revenue growth and enhances engagement with insurance payers. The positive reception from new customers underscores the momentum we anticipate for the remainder of 2024 and beyond.
