This study was conducted in collaboration with Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and is one of the world’s first peer-reviewed studies to use an artificial intelligence platform to demonstrate the value of liquid biopsies in speeding up lung cancer treatment in patients without actionable genomic alterations. Lung cancer is the second most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide(2). Liquid biopsies offer a less invasive alternative to traditional biopsies by using blood tests instead of surgery.

TORONTO, ON, February 13, 2025 – HEALWELL AI Inc. (“HEALWELL” or the “Company”) (TSX: AIDX) (OTCQX:HWAIF),a healthcare artificial intelligence company focused on preventative care, is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Pentavere Research Group (“Pentavere”), a globally recognized AI digital health company, has recently published a study in the ‘Journal of Liquid Biopsy’ that highlights how liquid biopsies can accelerate cancer treatment and personalized care for lung cancer patients, validating DARWEN™ AI as a leading Artificial Intelligence Clinical Decision Support Co-Pilot in Oncology.
Aaron Leibtag, CEO and Co-Founder of Pentavere, stated, “Clinicians and researchers frequently cite the time required to generate high-quality real-world data as a major barrier to advancing medical innovation for patients. This study is a further example showcasing how Pentavere’s DARWEN™ AI system overcomes this challenge as a world-leading clinical decision support tool, delivering rapid, accurate data at scale and enabling more inclusive, impactful healthcare decisions.”
This study was conducted in collaboration with Princess Margaret Cancer Centre of Toronto, Ontario, and is one of the world’s first peer-reviewed studies to use an artificial intelligence platform to demonstrate the value of liquid biopsies in guiding and speeding up lung cancer treatment in patients without actionable genomic alterations. The study data comes from complex, multi-page Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and liquid biopsy reports with results for hundreds of genes and thousands of genomic alterations per patient delivered to treating hospitals in PDF format. Without DARWEN™ AI, the time to manually review thousands of pages of complex data to generate the data set used for this study would have taken 100 times longer(1).
This study further validates Pentavere’s DARWEN™ AI system as a critical clinical decision support tool, enabling fast and accurate data extraction from NGS and liquid biopsy reports to identify actionable genomic alterations and start personalized treatments faster. Building on previous publications, Pentavere’s DARWEN™ AI system is transforming cancer care, driving personalized treatment, and advancing the future of precision medicine.
Lung cancer ranks as the second most prevalent cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally(2). Liquid biopsies provide a less invasive alternative to traditional methods, utilizing blood tests rather than surgical procedures.
