Dr. Alexander Dobranowski, CEO of HEALWELL, commented, “I am thrilled to share the exciting progress our AI and data science subsidiaries, Khure and Pentavere, have made in advancing the commercialization of their AI-driven patient identification solutions and services. Since the close of last calendar year, our AI powered lines of business have achieved remarkable growth, more than doubling the number of signed MSAs with life science partners and nearly tripling those that are actively generating revenue. This impressive progress, achieved in a relatively short timeframe, underscores our commitment to driving value for our life science partners. Additionally, we are seeing meaningful expansion within these partnerships, as Pentavere is advancing towards recurring subscription-based revenue models with its pharma clients, and Khure has begun executing agreements with the medical device community, highlighting our growing reach across the life sciences landscape.” 

HEALWELL subsidiaries, Khure Health Inc. (“Khure”) and Pentavere Research Group Inc. (“Pentavere”), continue to make significant advancements in their businesses marked by key achievements in the quarter. Khure has expanded its reach within the life sciences sector by signing an MSA with a major global medical device conglomerate for patient identification purposes, where the therapeutic being administered after identification would be a medical device, underscoring the potential for commercialization amongst a broadened life science customer base.  

Pentavere, has achieved substantial progress in generating pharma-oriented subscription revenue, a significant achievement as one of the few AI and data science companies in the industry to accomplish this, with six life science customers now adopting this model. Additionally, Pentavere has also entered into a strategic commercial agreement with a major U.S. health system, leveraging its DARWEN™ AI platform to identify patients with valvular heart disease, a condition affecting 2.5% of the Canadian population with 40% remaining untreated (Source: Canadian Cardiovascular Society, 2022). These accomplishments highlight HEALWELL’s commitment to delivering impactful AI-driven solutions and expanding its presence in the healthcare and life sciences markets. 

HEALWELL’s globally validated artificial intelligence technology in combination with its Contract Research Organization (CRO) capabilities allows the Company to unlock tremendous potential end-to-end value for the life sciences sector. The Company’s advanced AI and data science capabilities are expected to streamline clinical trial processes, from patient recruitment to data analysis. AI-driven tools will also help identify eligible participants, predict outcomes, and reduce trial duration by automating data collection and analysis, making the process more efficient and cost-effective. By seeking to establish a unique niche in AI-enhanced clinical trials, HEALWELL is positioning itself as a leader in the emerging space of digital healthcare solutions for research. These efforts will enhance partnerships with pharmaceutical companies and other research institutions seeking to leverage AI for trial optimizations, contributing to further financial growth and technological development.
