SaltCheck Develops First Simplified Test for Monitoring Salt Intake in People With Hypertension
Date:2/26/2009

rse, because the test is so cumbersome, very few doctors and patients ever evaluate salt intake, despite the growing and widespread awareness of its importance in managing hypertension," commented Marc Eichenberger, COO of Allied Minds, the parent company of SaltCheck.

Owing to its ease of use, suitability for serial monitoring, and accuracy of results, SaltCheck has the potential to help in the management of many millions with hypertension. Surveys suggest that physicians would embrace testing of their patients' salt intake if a convenient and inexpensive test were available. Testing could also help improve patient compliance with drug and dietary prescriptions.

"We are extremely pleased with the results from this significant study and the commercial progress to-date of the company. We very much look forward to bringing this groundbreaking test to the market to help patients and doctors worldwide in managing hypertension," added Mr. Eichenberger.
