"The acquisition of the Coala-Life revenue-generating assets has allowed PMDS to accelerate its entry into the US market. This partnership allows PMDS to work with a fellow founder on innovations in the field of cardiac health. Together, we can combine our expertise and resources to maximise the potential of the Coala-Life monitor, allowing each of us to continue focusing on growing our core businesses. I am excited to work alongside a fellow founder and to build value together for the patients we serve," Says Myles Murray, CEO of PMDS.
