TORONTO, Nov. 4, 2014 /CNW/ - Biosign Technologies Inc. (TSXV: BIO) ("Biosign" or the "Company") announces that it has formally closed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Peterborough, Ontario based QLINE Solutions Inc. ("QLINE"). The Company announced on January 6, 2014, that the parties had executed a Share Purchase Agreement under which Biosign agreed to acquire 100% of QLINE for a total price of $3 million.
QLINE is a privately held Ontario corporation founded in 1985 and produces the QCARE Integrated Product Suite, a comprehensive software platform used primarily to manage medium-to-large companies in the Home Care industry. Personal Support and Homemaking, Nursing Services, Therapy, Community Service Support and Hospital Shift Staffing businesses all use QCARE. The Suite offers one of the sector's most sophisticated intake & scheduling systems, client record management, integrated messaging, billing, payroll, and IVR communications, as well as charting & reporting capabilities. It's a solution set that delivers advanced features based on both proven and emerging technology. QLINE serves a number of national, multi-province and multi-site clients, as well as smaller regional customers.
Biosign will operate QLINE as a wholly-owned subsidiary and will continue to expand the QCARE, Qmobile and QPointofCare platforms with the goal to create world class solutions.
Biosign CEO Michael Gross stated: "We are pleased to finalize the acquisition of QLINE which will enable Biosign to become a leading provider in the home care market in North America. In the several months since we initially announced our intention to acquire QLINE, we have been impressed by QLINE's technology leadership and by their relationships with some of the largest operators in the fast-growing home care and extended care industries."
QLINE Founder & President Jim Allan stated: "Biosign's solutions, corporate presence and access to resources, coupled with the QLINE business vision and strategy within the Home Care industry transforms an incremental growth opportunity into a compound growth and revenue opportunity. While mobile and IVR are the current wave for mobile Home Health workers, virtual at-home care combined with remote vital sign monitoring is an imminent wave needed by the industry to serve the aging North America demographic more efficiently and at a lower cost per visit."
