What Resonance Health does

Resonance Health is an Australian healthcare company. It is involved in the development and delivery of non-invasive medical imaging software and services. Resonance Health's products are used by clinicians in the diagnosis and management of human diseases. Its products are also used by pharmaceutical companies in their clinical trials.

The Company's flagship product is its HepaFat-AI technology. This gained FDA approval earlier this year. The FDA approval which paves the way for commercialisation of the technology sent its shares 80% higher on the day.

HepaFat-AI results can be used to monitor liver fat content in patients undergoing weight loss management. Additionally, it can aid in the assessment and screening of living donors for liver transplants.

What Happened?

This afternoon, the Resonance Health share price is at a standstill. This is due to the company announcing that it would be entering a trading halt. Shares in the company will not begin trading until February 19 or when the announcement is made. Whichever is earliest.

The small cap share requested a trading halt pending the announcement in relation to regulatory approval that affects the company's share price. With the trading halt now in effect, shareholders will be eagerly awaiting the release of any news.
