Todos Medical, a clinical-stage in-vitro diagnostics company focused on the development of blood tests for the early detection of cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, announced it has entered into a binding term sheet with HWH World, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singapore eDevelopment for the grant of exclusive marketing rights for Todos Medical’s TM-B1 and TM-B2 tests to HWH World’s network of members in Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, Hong Kong, China, the United States and Canada. HWH World is a marketing firm that focuses on health and wellness. HWH World will work closely with Todos Medical to achieve regulatory approval in Singapore, where Todos Medical recently completed clinical studies, and thereafter expand into other markets. Todos remains free to partner with other companies to market and distribute its diagnostic tests through traditional means, including direct to consumer, through physicians, hospitals and/or government health systems.

“Todos Medical’s innovative artificial intelligence-based blood testing technology has shown strong results for breast cancer screening and diagnosis in Singapore,” said Heng Fai Chan, Chairman of HWH World. “This represents a tremendous opportunity for HWH World members to take control of their healthcare by getting better information about potential cancer to ensure they are seeking treatment early in the disease progression. This will improve the well-being of our female members and help differentiate us from other wellness programs in the market. Many Asian women are forced to have unnecessary breast biopsies because mammograms are not very effective in this population. Todos has identified a solution to this problem, and HWH World is looking forward to bringing the TM-B1 and TM-B2 tests to our members both in Asia and as we expand into North America.”

“Having just completed a substantial clinical study in Singapore that demonstrated the superiority of our assay versus mammography in prospectively classifying cancer and non-cancer subjects, especially among those with inconclusive mammogram results (BI-RADS III/IV), we are pleased to secure our first Asian partner in HWH World.  Our two companies are aligned in viewing the significant value by utilizing a blood test that will determine whether a biopsy is necessary in breast cancer,” said Herman Weiss, M.D., President and CEO of Todos Medical.
