NEW YORK, May 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Robert Riola, CTO of IneedMD Inc., has entered into discussions with Shuming Zhong, the Deputy Head of Tianjin's Wuqing District, in regard to Chinese FDA approval for the manufacturing of the EKG Glove. IneedMD Inc. expects to expand in Tianjin for this powerful and exciting new technology. The two met in person last week at the Harvard Club to discuss this endeavor.
The EKG Glove has already received both FDA approval and the EU's CE Marking, and IneedMD Inc. is now reaching out towards China for its manufacturing, and distribution capabilities. Initially developed by Dr. Govindan Gopinathan MD, the co-founder of IneedMD Inc., the EKG Glove is an advanced new technology that is recognized on a global level. In particular, "China has a particular need for the product due to their massive population and explosive economic situation" explains Mr. Riola.
Tianjin, known as the Silicon Valley of Asia, has been supportive of advanced technologies and the development of innovative solutions for some time. With a wealth of cutting-edge technology firms and a focus on manufacturing, Tianjin is the ideal location for the further development of IneedMD Inc.'s EKG Glove.
Mr. Zhong will lead both Mr. Riola, and Dr. Gopinathan on a Tianjin-sponsored tour of the facilities and the area to determine the best way to move forward in this mutual cooperation. They will be discussing the finalization of the EKG Glove's approval with the Chinese FDA to ensure that the Chinese people can benefit from this new and advanced medical technology.
"I have personally invited Dr. Gopinathan and Mr. Riola to be my guests for a Tianjin sponsored tour of the region," explained Mr. Zhong, "where we will invite CFDA officials to discuss the finalization of the EKG Glove approval so that China can benefit from this powerful new technology." Once cleared, IneedMD Inc. will be working with the officials in the Tianjin region to begin manufacturing of the EKG Glove and distribution within the Chinese marketplace.
