I delivered a $904,267 repayable contribution for RimotHEALTH!

Canadians must feel secure returning to work, school and social activities during the global pandemic. That is why the Government of Canada is helping Rimot get its rapid, automated, contactless screening tool for indicators of COVID-19, called RimotHEALTH, on the marketplace.

Federal support for easy-to-use, affordable platform

Darren Fisher, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health and Member of Parliament for Dartmouth – Cole Harbour, on behalf of the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages, today announced a repayable contribution of $904,267 to support the commercialization of RimotHEALTH.

Rimot’s COVID-19 virus detection device is safer, faster and more cost-effective than manual screening, enabling businesses to keep their employers and customers safe and the economy running. This support will help Rimot to grow, enter new markets and hire highly skilled workers in data science, system design and market development.

The Government of Canada is commited to ensuring that citizens can confidently carry out their daily activities during the pandemic. This investment will help businesses safely operate and contribute to the Canadian economy during these challenging times.
