TORONTO, ON, October 22, 2024 – HEALWELL AI Inc. (“HEALWELL” or the “Company”) (TSX: AIDX, OTCQX: HWAIF), a healthcare technology company focused on AI and data science for preventative care, is pleased to announce its USD$250,000 strategic investment in Abstractive Health (“Abstractive Health”), a healthcare AI company specializing in providing physicians with an automated, accurate and medically relevant AI assistant that delivers patient summaries using proprietary generative AI technology. This investment is part of a broader funding round, led by Rho Capital Partners as lead investor and Cornell University via Cornell Technology as an existing investor.  Leveraging the current Conditional Decision Support co-pilots HEALWELL currently offers, the Company will have the exclusive right to distribute Abstractive’s products as an extension of its existing AI-enabled co-pilot technology suite through WELL Health Technologies’ extensive network of outpatient healthcare clinics. 

Founded in 2022 and based in New York, Abstractive Health is a pioneer in healthcare AI led by co-founder and CEO Vince Hartman. Abstractive Health is transforming the healthcare industry by automating the summarization of patient medical records through its AI-powered software, designed to assist physicians and clinicians in reducing time spent on documentation while improving efficiency. This AI-driven solution provides comprehensive patient summaries, akin to a one-page brief on a patient’s health, offering doctors and healthcare practitioners valuable insights. This value-added service streamlines the review of patient records and healthcare data of all kinds, enabling healthcare professionals to focus more on patient care. 

Dr. Alexander Dobranowski, CEO of HEALWELL, commented, “We are excited to invest in Abstractive Health, whose technology aligns with our vision of enhancing healthcare through the power of AI. Abstractive Health is more than just another digital tool in the tech stack making clinics more efficient. It is an essential link between all the data being ingested by electronic medical records (EMRs) and a physician’s ability to consume it. This strategic investment strengthens HEALWELL’s commitment to leveraging AI to improve clinical workflows and patient outcomes. The automation of clinical documentation is a crucial advancement in healthcare, and we believe Abstractive Health is poised to make a significant impact in this space.” 

Abstractive Health has developed HIPAA-compliant, proprietary generative AI technology that provides physicians with accurate, medically relevant patient summaries. Unlike competitors that rely on widely available large language models (LLMs), Abstractive Health has built its solutions in-house, ensuring greater control over the quality and security of its AI-driven tools. Their platform has already gained early traction with prestigious medical centers, including New York Presbyterian and Cleveland Clinic of Abu Dhabi. 

Vince Hartman, CEO of Abstractive Health, added, “We are excited to be working with HEALWELL and to have them as partners in Abstractive Health’s journey as we share a similar mission in leveraging the power of AI to improve healthcare and patient outcomes. While ambient scribes have been revolutionary in reducing clinical workload, they are still adding data to a growing pool, requiring increasingly sophisticated technology to summarize, analyze, and simplify. Our solutions go a step further enabling meaningful insights to be drawn from this ever-expanding ‘data lake’. Ultimately, our AI-powered solution is the connective tissue between the ever-growing amounts of patient data and the actionable insights physicians need to provide quality care.”  

HEALWELL AI is investing US$250,000 through a SAFE Note structure with a post-valuation cap of $10 million which is part of a broader funding round that includes others such as Rho Capital Partners, as the lead investor, and Pear VC and Cornell University via Cornell Technology among existing investors.  

As part of the investment, HEALWELL AI and Abstractive Health have also entered into a partnership and commercialization agreement in the form of a four-year strategic alliance agreement (the “SAA”) providing HEALWELL the exclusive right to distribute Abstractive Health’s technology in the outpatient healthcare space across Canada. The SAA will ensure that Abstractive Health’s cutting-edge technology is made available across HEALWELL and WELL Health Technologies’ extensive Canadian distribution networks.
