BIOCORP and Merck, announce an agreement for the development and supply of a specific version of Mallya device to monitor treatment adherence in the field of HGH. Manufactured in Clermont-Ferrand (France), Mallya is a Bluetooth enabled clip-on device for pen injectors that collects dose and time of each injection and transfers information in real time to a companion software. Mallya is the first in its category to receive the CE-mark (medical device) and commercial versions for insulin pen injectors are already available and distributed in Europe and other geographies.

Healthcare companies BIOCORP and Merck will develop a specific version for applications in the field of Human Growth Hormone. The device will help patients (children and teenagers) automatically keep track of their HGH daily injection and monitor adherence with their treatment plan. Following the completion of different milestones, Merck will pay around €3 million for the development of the specific solution.

After the development phase, BIOCORP will manufacture the commercial units on behalf of Merck, which will generate additional revenues.
