08:10 AM EDT, 10/29/2024 (MT Newswires) -- WELL Health Technologies ( WHTCF ) and HEALWELL AI (AIDX.TO) on Tuesday said they have expanded their strategic alliance to launch and manage clinical trial sites at the more than 180 WELL clinics in Canada.

HEALWELL AI will offer patient recruitment to trial execution and data analysis for clinical research. By including WELL Health Diagnostic Centres (WHDC) and its specialty care patient roster - including cardiology, radiology, sleep medicine and endocrinology - the partnership can use patient data to enhance research, particularly in cardiovascular disease and its co-morbidities, where pharmaceutical interest is significant.

Combining HEALWELL's contract research organization capabilities with WELL's clinic infrastructure positions the partnership as a strong player in AI-driven clinical trials, the companies said in a statement.
