WELL has launched its new AI-powered physician co-pilot to assist cardiologists in better identifying patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease (“CVD”). WELL is exclusively partnering with HEALWELL AI, a leader in AI enabled disease diagnosis, as an extension of the WELL AI Decision Support (“WAIDS”) product offering.The co-pilot will be deployed into WELL Diagnostic Centres, Canada’s largest cardiology and medical diagnostic group, providing support and assisting cardiologists in over 40 locations across Ontario.CVD stands as the leading cause of death globally, accounting for approximately 32% of deaths worldwide in 2019(1), underscoring the critical need for early detection. HEALWELL also expects to leverage this technology to help accelerate life sciences research and development opportunities related to CVD and drive new business opportunities for its newly acquired Clinical Research Organization (“CRO”), BioPharma Services Inc.

VANCOUVER, BC and TORONTO, July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX: WELL) (OTCQX: WHTCF) (“WELL” or the “Company”) a digital health company focused on tech-enabling healthcare providers, and its investee company, HEALWELL AI Inc. (TSX: AIDX) (OTCQX: HWAIF) (“HEALWELL”), a healthcare technology company focused on AI and data science for preventative care, are jointly pleased to announce the launch of WELL’s AI-powered co-pilot for cardiologists exclusively powered by HEALWELL AI, aimed at identifying patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease (“CVD”). This significant expansion of WELL’s AI capabilities builds on the success of its second-generation AI-powered physician co-pilot, WELL AI Decision Support (“WAIDS”), developed exclusively in partnership with HEALWELL. This enhancement adds to its existing rare and chronic disease detection abilities and is an extension to the WAIDS offering.

The co-pilot for cardiologists will be deployed in WELL Diagnostics Centres, Canada’s largest cardiology and medical diagnostic group with over 40 locations in Ontario. It will be available to cardiologists within the WELL Diagnostic Centres ecosystem, providing invaluable support in the early detection and management of cardiovascular disease.

Dina Sergi, CEO of WELL Diagnostic Centres, highlighted the tool’s impact, “The integration of HEALWELL’s AI-powered co-pilot for cardiologists into our WELL Diagnostic Centres represents a game-changing advancement. By offering precise risk stratification and actionable insights, this tool enhances their ability to proactively manage cardiovascular health and improve patient care.”

Dr. Alexander Dobranowski, CEO of HEALWELL, commented, “The launch of our AI-powered co-pilot for specialists marks a significant milestone in our mission to enhance healthcare through advanced technology. By expanding our AI capabilities to include cardiovascular disease detection, we are equipping cardiologists with enhanced tools and decision support necessary to identify at-risk patients earlier, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. The integration of this tool into WELL’s Diagnostic Centres is particularly important, as it provides us access to Canada’s largest cardiology group. This vast dataset not only assists hundreds of cardiologists within the WELL Diagnostic Centres ecosystem but also allows us to continuously refine and enhance the co-pilot.”

Dr. Paul Kannampuzha, Chief Cardiology Officer of WELL Diagnostic Centres commented. “As a cardiologist, I am encouraged by how AI can help provide improved disease detection and decision support for cardiologists across the country. I believe this technology will help drive improved preventative care and ensure patients don’t fall through the cracks.”

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of disorders affecting the heart and blood vessels and is the leading cause of death globally, responsible for approximately 32% of deaths worldwide in 2019(1). In Canada, recent estimates suggest that CVD costs about $22 billion per year and is considered the second leading contributor to healthcare costs(2). Identifying patients with worsening cardiovascular conditions earlier is crucial, as cardiovascular disease is the third leading cause of death in Canada.

The global market for pharmaceutical drugs supporting cardiovascular disease was valued at approximately USD 144.1 billion in 2023. It is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 4% over the next decade, reaching an estimated USD 207.8 billion by 2033 (Precedence Research)(3). HEALWELL expects to leverage this technology to help accelerate life sciences research and development opportunities related to CVD and drive new business opportunities for its newly acquired Clinical Research Organization (CRO), BioPharma Services Inc.

Hyundai Motor Group unveils comprehensive hydrogen technology solutions and a roadmap at H2 MEET 2024, Korea’s largest hydrogen industry eventThe Group is showcasing its hydrogen business and technology under the HTWO, emphasizing its unique capabilities and strong collaboration among affiliatesHydrogen value chain business solutions are exhibited as part of four scenarios: Energy Security, Port & Airport Decarbonization, Industrial Applications & Businesses and Hydrogen Society

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 24, 2024 /CNW/ — Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) unveiled its end-to-end hydrogen solutions and roadmap at H2 MEET 2024[1], Korea’s largest hydrogen industry exhibition event, running from September 25 to 27 at the Korea International Exhibition Center (KINTEX) near Seoul.

Under the theme ‘Be a First Mover in Hydrogen,’ the Group introduced its hydrogen business and technology spanning the entire hydrogen value chain under the HTWO brand. This builds upon its hydrogen vision presentation made at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

H2 MEET 2024 marks the first event in which all the Group’s affiliates are participating together under the HTWO. Participating affiliates include Hyundai Motor Company, Hyundai Rotem, Hyundai Steel, Hyundai Engineering, Hyundai E&C and Hyundai Glovis.

At its massive H2 MEET booth, the Group is showing four hydrogen value chain business solutions in four scenario-based exhibitions with staff available for explanation at each exhibition corner and digital docents available via smartphones.

The first scenario exhibition, ‘Energy Security,’ introduces the Group’s innovative resource-cycle hydrogen production technologies including W2H (Waste-to-Hydrogen) and P2H (Plastic-to-Hydrogen). W2H utilizes organic waste such as food and sewage sludge to produce hydrogen, while P2H utilizes non-recyclable plastic. The exhibition also showcases Korea‘s very first W2H facility in Chungju that converts food waste into hydrogen and supplies hydrogen to nearby refueling stations.

Visitors will also be able to check on Hyundai Motor’s field-proven cell system and its reverse electrolysis technology – PEM electrolysis, which is ideal for producing high-purity hydrogen. The exhibit also features Korea’s very first PEM electrolysis production facility in Buan, operated by Hyundai E&C, alongside other business cases that run on the hydrogen produced. 

The second scenario exhibition, ‘Port & Airport Decarbonization’ introduces hydrogen solutions that can be applied to high-carbon-emitting industrial complexes, including ports and airports. Hyundai Motor successfully deployed a pioneering fleet of 30 Class 8 XCIENT Fuel Cell hydrogen-powered trucks for the NorCAL ZERO Project since last year with an aim to reduce carbon emissions at the port of Oakland in California, U.S.
