MISSISSAUGA, ON--(Marketwired - April 26, 2017) - MedX Health Corp. ("MedX") (TSX VENTURE: MDX) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with MP Médic, an aesthetic medicine firm located in Quebec, to deploy MedX's SIAscopy skin imaging technology throughout the province.

According to Statistics Canada, skin cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer in Canada, and approximately 40% of skin cancers are detected in Quebec. This is significant as Quebec comprises about 23% of Canada's population.

Wait times to see a dermatologist in the province can be as much as 2 years, "which is unacceptable," says Michèle Piuze, President of MP Médic. "In the short time that we have been using MedX's technology, we have identified a number of suspicious moles, and have confirmation from a dermatological oncologist that two of the moles were melanomas. This technology is a game-changer for the people of Quebec as we believe it will save lives and shorten wait times. We are excited to be working with MedX," says Ms. Piuze.

"We see our relationship with MP Médic as an important step to introducing MedX's skin screening technology to all Canadians. Quebec is a very large and important market. Quebeckers want answers to address this growing and very challenging problem, and MP Médic will help us get there," says Robert von der Porten, MedX's CEO.
