Gemoscan Canada licenses its evolutionary HemocodeTM Food Intolerance System for Israel
TORONTO, Ontario (May 24, 2012) -- Gemoscan Canada, Inc. (TSXV: GES), (MUN: 1GE) (“Gemoscan”) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Haemodek Limited (“Haemodek”), an Israeli corporation, for the exclusive right to use and commercialize its HEMOCODETM FOOD INTOLERANCE SYSTEM, in Israel. The agreement also provides Haemodek with a first right of refusal and opportunity to commercialize HEMOCODETM, in Greece, Cyprus and Turkey. The HEMOCODETM System is based on Gemoscan’s proprietary technology and processes, which are considered to be the industry’s most comprehensive method for managing food sensitivities.
The agreement has an initial term of five years, provides for an initial one-time license fee and monthly-earned royalty payments to Gemoscan by Haemodek.
“We are very excited by the prospect of commercializing what we believe is the best and most comprehensive food intolerance management program, for Israel. HEMOCODETM will be quickly welcomed by high tech, health conscious Israeli consumers as the recognized leader in personal wellness solutions,” said Berl Bessin, President of Haemodek.

Already used successfully by thousands of Canadians, Gemoscan’s food intolerance management solutions employ patented technology to simplify the recognition and management of food sensitivities. Using just a few drops of blood and factoring an individual’s medical history Gemoscan’s systems manage immune-based reactions to common foods and additives.
“It is extremely gratifying to our team that Haemodek is taking the lead in commercializing our food intolerance system technology for consumers in a high-growth, technologically advanced, international market such as Israel where increasingly, consumers are becoming more interested in their health and wellness. Gemoscan’s food intolerance system programs are unparalleled in the market and can help consumers take control of their lifestyle issues by identifying complementary natural solutions for well-being,” said Brian Kalish, Gemoscan President and Chief Executive Officer. “We intend to continue to leverage our first to market, direct to consumer, industry leading position through regular improvement of our cutting edge platforms.
