What's the latest?

The Advanced Human Imaging share price was off and racing last week with no new news released.

The company listed on the Nasdaq in November, so let's take a look at its recent performance on the United States exchange for more perspective.

Shares in the company's US-listed ticker (NASDAQ: AHI) surged 36.2% on the first trading day of the week in the US to $6.02.

Also on Monday, the company informed investors it had accelerated the rollout of new technology as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for access to remote care.

The company has developed patented technology that enables people to check, track and assess health data using a smartphone "via the combining of body dimensions, body composition and vital signs".

Advanced Human Imaging said it has improved its mobile-device risk assessment, advanced 2D-3D capturing and was now offering real-time personalised health data.

The company will also launch derma scanning on the skin using artificial intelligence at a Las Vegas technology conference in January 2022.

What did management say?

CEO Vlado Bosanac said:

We accelerated the rollout due to the increase we have seen in the telemedicine and telehealth industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are addressing an immediate need posed by incoming enquiries and new partner opportunities across the health, mHealth and insurance sector.
