ROCHESTER, N.Y., Aug. 11, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On August 11, 2016, Richard A. Kaplan, CEO of CurAegis Technologies, Inc., announced that the company has entered into agreements with six companies to participate in the Beta Trials for our proprietary CURA™ fatigue management system. We have chosen these companies very carefully based upon their reputations for quality and safety within their respective markets. These organizations represent five of our initial eight target markets, which include:

• Trucking
  
  
• Busing
  
  
• Aviation
  
  
• Medical
  
  
• General Corporate
  
  
• Sports Science
  
  
• Municipal Agencies
  
  
• Federal Agencies

More agreements are expected soon which will reflect participation in all of our targeted markets. The CURA™ System Beta Trials are set to begin in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Kaplan said, “We are very excited about the enthusiasm we have seen for this breakthrough technology. We are very appreciative to these organizations for their interest in validating and improving the technology underlying the CURA System.”

The three priorities of our Beta Trials are:

• User acceptance – ensure the user benefits from, enjoys and appreciates the wellness and safety features of the system.
  
  
• Ease of implementation for the organization – the system will be easily integrated and managed into the existing wellness and safety systems within the organizations.
  
  
• Efficacy of the technology – information confirms that the CURA System will make employees safer, healthier, resulting in higher productivity, reduced absenteeism, fewer accidents and mistakes.

After the completion of the Beta Trials, the Company will begin our paid Pilot Programs.  We believe these Beta and Pilot Programs will demonstrate our technologies’ unique abilities for Safety and Wellness in each of our targeted markets. This will lead directly to sales of the CURA System.

We have hired four market-specific Sales Vice Presidents with significant expertise in each market. We are currently engaged with over 70 companies and organizations that have expressed interest in the CURA System.
