TORONTO – HEALWELL AI Inc., a healthcare technology company focused on AI and data science for preventative care, announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire VeroSource Solutions Inc., a multi-service technology enterprise focused mainly on providing both products and consulting services for total consideration of approximately $24.5 million.

VeroSource, a Canadian based, multi-service software and services technology company is focused on providing healthcare solutions, including a “Digital Front Door” to provincial healthcare systems, including the Province of New Brunswick and several others.

VeroSource securely integrates health data from sources such as EMRs, pharmacies and hospital information systems into a single platform which is used for analysis across a variety of applications.

VeroSource harnesses AI technology via its VS Data-as-a-Service (“VS DaaS”) product, enabling powerful data visualization and unlocking value through actionable insights.

The VeroSource infrastructure and suite of digital health solutions is fully compatible with HEALWELL’s AI capabilities, enabling the expansion of HEALWELL’s digital co-pilot tools into the VeroSource footprint as well as VeroSource’s data interoperability and visualization tools to be used across HEALWELL’s footprint.

Combined with HEALWELL’s data structuring and abstraction technology, VeroSource provides additional expertise for HEALWELL to further accelerate its mission of early disease detection.

Dr. Alexander Dobranowski, CEO of HEALLWELL, said, “We are excited to announce the proposed acquisition of VeroSource who has created a compelling data interoperability platform that powers large enterprises such as provincial health systems. Once integrated with our best-in-class AI-powered disease detection and patient identification capabilities, VeroSource has the potential to roll out very significant population health features that are very much at the core of value-based healthcare trends.

“VeroSource has demonstrated impressive historical revenue growth rates of 30% CAGR, with a strong pipeline of long-term contracts producing a mix of one-time and recurring SaaS revenue. We look forward to building on their exceptional track record by leveraging our deep connectivity to the Canadian outpatient landscape through our partnership with WELL Health and their successful public sector sales program. We are excited about the growth synergies and the potential to expand our footprint rapidly into new provinces.”

Mark McAllister (pictured), CEO of VeroSource, commented, “We are thrilled to join forces with HEALWELL. Our combined expertise will accelerate our mission of empowering people and unlocking the value of healthcare data. With HEALWELL’s support, we can expand our innovative digital health solutions more rapidly and effectively across Canada.

VeroSource has had well over one million users since inception, which includes both patients and providers, and is expected to generate over $8 million in revenues in 2024.

The proposed acquisition of VeroSource will result in HEALWELL acquiring several broad and unique capabilities for the public sector that includes digital front door and patient access solutions, International Patient Summary (IPS) solutions, FHIR interoperability and data solutions, and digital identity solutions.

It also adds VeroSource’s provincial public sector customer base to HEALWELL’s existing network of pharmaceutical customers, boosting the company’s position as a leader in the healthcare technology landscape.

VeroSource’s platform exemplifies the practical use of data engineering and machine learning as it utilizes AI tools to help clients predict emergency room wait times with real-time HL7 data feeds, improve hiring processes for HR departments, and explore the use of Large Language Models for better client navigation to essential services.
