IVMD Announces Significant New Market Opportunity.


INVERNESS, Scotland -- IVMD (OTCBB OTCBB

See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB).
:IVME IVME Interpreters, Virtual Machines and Emulators ) today announced it has had successful results from trials on the transfer of its human pregnancy monitoring technology into other mammals, in this case horses.

A study on racehorses in England researched the possibility of using IVMD's innovative technology on horses. This technology has been developed by the Company for the prediction of labor in pregnant women. The technology monitors, non-invasively, electrical signals from the uterus. As the female nears the time of birth the electrical activity of the uterus changes in a predictable manner thus giving a 'countdown' monitor.

The results from the trial showed that foaling foaling

 followed a similar pattern to human birth; however the signal characteristics allowed a very accurate prediction of the onset of labor in the mare from two days out.

Accurate information predicting the onset of foaling will save owners many days of worry and needless and expensive observation - potentially saving from $4k for an eventing eventing

There are 60 million domestic horses worldwide. As the average lifespan of a horse is approx. 20-25 years, approx. 2.6 million horses are born each year. In the UK, there are 900,000 horses; the number rising annually and in the UK equestrianism is a GBP GBP

 of IVMD, said, "The study was carried out in parallel with the development of the human device to look for common factors in mammalian labour. We used similar devices and key learning has been fed back into the human product - we were surprised at the success rate! Equine labor is not part of our core business however it does provide a clear and valuable opportunity to spin out a very lucrative business. We have already identified clear routes to the worldwide market, and are in commercial discussion with partners and funding sources to create the best business model."
