For the 12 months ending 30 June, ResApp brought in revenue from a contract with customers of $69,371. This came from the launch of three new products during the year. They included ResAppDx (acute respiratory disease diagnostic tool), ResAppCC (cough counter and smartphone application), and SleepCheck (sleep apnoea screening application).

The net loss for the period stood at $6.77 million, down 20% on FY20's net loss of $8.49 million.

ResApp retained a cash balance of $6.59 million. Net cash used in operating activities totalled $5.6 million.

As such, ResApp partnered with the largest provider of telehealth services in the country, Alodokter to launch ResAppDx before December 2021.

ResApp CEO and managing director, Dr Tony Keating commented:

Obtaining regulatory approval in Indonesia is an important step in our partnership with Alodokter. With a population of over 270 million and a growing telehealth market, Indonesia represents an exciting opportunity for ResApp and with Alodokter we have an important partner that should see significant use of ResAppDx by doctors and their patients.
