MELBOURNE: Medibio Limited, a mental health technology company, has entered into a Clinical Trial Agreement with MedBridge Healthcare LLC to support Medibio’s Sleep Analysis of Depressive Burden (SADB) trial.
The SADB trial aims to identify clinical depressive burden in patients with sleep disturbance who undergo a sleep study in a clinical environment.

John Mathias, Chief Development Officer of MedBridge, said, “As the leading sleep management service provider in the US, we are excited about the potential of Medibio’s technology and its clinical applications.
