TORONTO, Feb. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 it has completed the previously announced acquisition of Intrahealth Systems Limited (“Intrahealth”), a former subsidiary of WELL Health Technologies Corp. (“WELL”) (TSX: WELL), which is an insider of the Company (the “Transaction”). Intrahealth is an advanced SaaS based Electronic Health Records (“EHR”) management platform for small and medium enterprise healthcare organizations across Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Intrahealth’s robust platform meets the demands of a wide range of clients from a single doctor’s office to a multi-thousand user health institution. Founded in New Zealand and headquartered in Vancouver, B.C., Intrahealth was originally acquired by WELL in April 2021.
Dr. Alexander Dobranowski, CEO of HEALWELL, commented on the acquisition, “We are pleased to complete the acquisition of Intrahealth and excited to welcome the Intrahealth team to HEALWELL. The synergies between our AI capabilities and Intrahealth’s established expertise in EHR technologies presents an unparalleled opportunity to revolutionize the healthcare industry. By combining the power of artificial intelligence with a comprehensive EHR platform, we believe we can unlock enormous potential to enhance patient care and drive better health outcomes, all at lower costs for healthcare systems. The acquisition aligns seamlessly with our commitment to innovation and we are confident that Intrahealth will help us pave the way in redefining the healthcare landscape.”
Intrahealth supports approximately 15,000 healthcare professionals across its global network. In 2024, it is expected that Intrahealth will generate more than $12 million in revenues, achieve over 80% gross margins, and produce positive EBITDA and cashflows. Approximately 70% of Intrahealth’s revenue is generated in Canada and over 80% of its revenue is high margin recurring revenue. In addition to adding mature SaaS revenue, strong positive EBITDA, and increased cashflows, Intrahealth also serves as a platform to showcase the effectiveness of HEALWELL’s industry leading AI solutions. The combination of HEALWELL’s best-in-class AI capabilities combined with Intrahealth’s EHR platform will result in the creation of one of the industry’s first AI powered EHR platforms with next-generation clinical decision support capabilities.
Dorian Prior, President of Intrahealth commented, “We are thrilled to join forces with HEALWELL, a trailblazer in AI technology, and excited with the potential of integrating our products with HEALWELL’s cutting-edge AI technologies. This acquisition represents a significant milestone in Intrahealth’s history as it marks a pivotal moment in our growth trajectory and represents a new chapter in our commitment to advancing healthcare technology. With WELL’s support, we built a solid foundation and now with HEALWELL, we are excited to embark on a new phase of growth, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in healthcare technology.”
