VANCOUVER, British Columbia --(BUSINESS WIRE)
WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX: WELL, OTCQX: WHTCF) (the “Company” or “WELL”), a digital healthcare company focused on positively impacting health outcomes by leveraging technology to empower healthcare practitioners and their patients globally, is pleased to provide a corporate update on its majority-owned platform subsidiary, WELLSTAR Technologies Corp. (“WELLSTAR”), including recent developments related to OceanMD’s eReferral platform, recent strategic acquisitions, and the completion of a $62 million Series B financing round.
Amir Javidan, CEO of WELLSTAR, commented, “The past twelve months have been transformational for WELLSTAR as we have firmly established ourselves as Canada’s premier digital health platform for healthcare providers. The business has strong momentum, driven by steady organic growth, a growing base of recurring revenue, and increasing adoption of technologies such as OceanMD and Nexus AI™ across our platform. We are executing with discipline and advancing our strategy through continued organic expansion and targeted, high-impact acquisitions that strengthen our offering and extend our market reach. With a clear path toward a potential public listing in 2026, our mission is to empower clinicians with best-in-class digital tools while building a durable, high-growth business that delivers lasting value for shareholders.”
OceanMD eReferral Expansion
Following a comprehensive procurement and contracting process, OceanMD has been awarded a material eReferral contract to be the provincial Referral Management System (“RMS”). The province-wide Request for Proposals (“RFP”)sought vendors capable of delivering eReferral platforms that integrate seamlessly with existing provincial digital health assets, as well as all major electronic medical record systems in both community and hospital settings. This is a new customer contract that immediately uplifts WELLSTAR’s overall ARR by 16%.
OceanMD now facilitates over 1.7 million eReferrals annually nationwide. The platform is trusted in Canada by more than 17,000 physicians and 2,500 clinics to send eReferrals, and over 3,300 physicians and 1,300 clinics to receive them. Collectively, more than 20,000 physicians and 3,800 clinics participate in the program, reflecting the largest eReferral network in Canada.
Ocean eReferrals have delivered measurable improvements in patient care, including a 12% reduction in unnecessary MRIs(2), a 20% reduction in surgical wait times, and a 35-day decrease in central intake referral processing times. With built-in appropriateness criteria and clinical decision support tools, OceanMD ensures referrals are accurate, necessary, and timely. These benefits are further reflected in patient outcomes, with 95% of patients reporting improved referral experiences and 89% noting satisfaction with wait times.
Jeff Kavanagh, Co-Founder and CEO of OceanMD, commented, “We are honoured to be selected as the official RMS for another entire province. Winning this competitive procurement process demonstrates the strength, scalability, and reliability of the Ocean platform. With Ocean eReferrals, we are committed to providing healthcare providers with a proven, scalable platform that reduces wait times, improves patient satisfaction, and helps clinicians deliver better care. We are extremely proud and honoured by this new contract win, which reinforces how Ocean’s eReferral platform has been established as Canada’s leading eReferral platform.”
WELLSTAR Acquisitions
WELLSTAR has signed agreements to acquire two billing assets, including a leader in the Canadian medical billing marketplace. The acquisition is highly complementary to and synergistic with WELLSTAR’s existing billing solutions and is subject to regulatory approval. The two billing assets are expected to generate approximately $4 million in annualized revenue with margins exceeding 20%.
On November 1, 2025, WELLSTAR acquired Mutuo Health Solutions, the developer of the AutoScribe platform that powers WELLSTAR’s Nexus AI Medical Scribe. Mutuo’s technology and engineering team will be fully integrated within WELLSTAR, ensuring tighter alignment of AI development, deployment, and clinical workflows. The acquisition strengthens WELLSTAR’s ownership of key intellectual property already central to Nexus AI, and accelerates its ability to build new AI capabilities into its products. Moving Mutuo under WELLSTAR also aligns its provider-focused products with the business best positioned to commercialize them within clinics and health systems across Canada.
Q3 WELLSTAR Financial Performance
WELL announced its quarterly financial results on November 6, which highlighted another strong performance from its majority-owned subsidiary, WELLSTAR. WELLSTAR generated $18.3 million in revenue in Q3, an increase of 67% compared to the prior year. Organic growth was 26% year-over-year, reflecting strong adoption of WELLSTAR’s digital and AI-enabled platforms and continued expansion within its existing customer base. ARR grew 63% year-over-year, underscoring the scalability and durability of WELLSTAR’s business model. With a highly recurring revenue base and disciplined execution across each of its operating segments, WELLSTAR enters 2026 with significant momentum and a clear path toward sustained growth and scale.
WELLSTAR Series B Financing and Future M&A
Following the recently announced $62 million equity financing, WELLSTAR is entering its next phase of accelerated growth. The company is actively deploying capital to pursue a robust pipeline of strategic tuck-in acquisitions aimed at expanding its technology suite and driving revenue toward a $100 million annualized run rate. To support this effort, WELLSTAR has added a new member to its corporate development team and is aggressively advancing its M&A pipeline. With recent acquisitions such as Mutuo and the pending purchase of additional billing assets, WELLSTAR is building scale and strengthening its foundation as a leader in AI-enabled clinical and billing solutions. The company remains well-positioned to pursue a public listing in 2026, subject to market conditions, as it continues to execute on its growth strategy and unlock value for WELL shareholders.
