PAVmed Inc. (Nasdaq: PAVM, PAVMZ) (the “Company” or “PAVmed”), a highly differentiated, multi-product, commercial-stage medical technology company, today announced that on October 26, 2021, from 1 to 3 PM EDT, it will host a virtual investor event focused on its digital health subsidiary Veris Health (“Veris”) entitled Veris Heath: Bringing Digital Health to Cancer Care. Attendees may register for the event here.
The event will provide a comprehensive overview of Veris’ disruptive technology, vision, business model and strategy. Participants will learn how Veris seeks to utilize the first intelligent implantable vascular access port with biologic sensors to facilitate and optimize cancer care through remote patient monitoring and data analytics—including machine learning and artificial intelligence. Panelists will include:
Lishan Aklog MD |
PAVmed Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Veris Executive Chairman |
James D. Mitchell MD |
PAVmed VP, Digital Health Veris Chief Medical Officer |

The event will conclude with a moderated question and answer session, which will provide attendees the opportunity to interact with the panelists.
“Today’s aggressive outpatient cancer treatments, including immunotherapy and chemotherapy, leave patients unmonitored and at risk of serious, avoidable complications, leading to high rates of hospitalization, poor patient quality of life, and increasing health system costs,” said Dr. Mitchell. “The Veris technology is designed to allow oncologists to detect early signs of common cancer-related complications, provide longitudinal trends of physiologic and clinical data, offer data-driven risk management tools for precision oncology, and incorporate additional prospects for substantial value-creation through data monetization and biotherapeutic clinical trial support.”
Veris, a majority-owned subsidiary of PAVmed, acquired Oncodisc Inc., a digital health company with groundbreaking tools to improve personalized cancer care in May 2021. Veris is developing a remote cancer care platform that integrates an intelligent implantable vascular access port with physiologic sensing, software with symptom reporting and telehealth functions, and advanced data analytics. Veris’ groundbreaking vascular access port contains biologic sensors capable of generating continuous data on key physiologic parameters known to predict adverse outcomes in cancer patients undergoing treatment. Wireless communication to the patient’s smartphone and its cloud-based digital healthcare platform seek to deliver actionable real time data to patients and physicians efficiently and effectively. Veris is targeting FDA 510(k) clearance of the intelligent implantable vascular access port and launch of the remote digital healthcare platform for H2-2022.
Recently, Veris was accepted into Microsoft for Startups, a global program from Microsoft dedicated to accelerating the trajectory of startups. Veris also recently entered into a definitive services agreement with leading full-service Silicon Valley-based full-stack software development firm Loka Inc. to build its remote digital healthcare platform.
