Founded in 1997 and headquartered at 6295 Northam Drive, Unit 8, Mississauga, Ontario, L4V 1W8, Canada, the company, led by Founder, CEO and Director Dr. Yahia Gawad, focuses on innovative, cost-effective, patent-protected technologies to enhance healthcare professionals' diagnostic capabilities and patient management while reducing costs. Originally known as Jag Media Holdings Inc., it changed its name to CardioGenics Holdings Inc. in 2009; among its earlier strategic moves, it entered an asset purchase agreement in November 2015 to acquire substantially all assets of Ontario-based Plasticap, including manufacturing expertise for plastics to support production of its QL Care Analyzer cartridges and expansion into healthcare plastics, while maintaining Plasticap's client base, with related real property transactions finalized separately.
