WELL Health and its consortium partners have been awarded the largest DIGITAL project to date for Health Compass II, an initiative that will continue the advancement of AI and interoperability in Canadian healthcare.WELL Health will not only serve as the lead commercialization partner and first customer, but will also provide expertise and interoperability to each consortium partner for an unprecedented opportunity to innovate and develop new AI tools to better support and enable healthcare providers to enhance patient outcomes.As part of the approval, DIGITAL will fund just over one third of all project costs related to this project over a period of 4 years. These funds are appropriated by the Federal Government of Canada to support technology innovation.

VANCOUVER, BC and TORONTO, July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX: WELL) (OTCQX: WHTCF) (the “Company” or “WELL”), a leading company focused on consolidating and modernizing clinical and digital assets within the healthcare sector, is thrilled to announce the approval and advancement of a groundbreaking $44M project, which will receive $15.3M in funding from DIGITAL to support investments in R&D and commercialization from other partners for phase 2 of the Health Compass project, known as Health Compass II. This monumental funding represents the largest project DIGITAL, Canada’s Global Innovation Cluster for digital technologies, has awarded to date in any funding category, marking a significant milestone in the commitment and advancement of AI and interoperability in healthcare.

Health Compass II, a collaborative effort with WELL Health, ORX, HEALWELL AI (TSX: AIDX, OTCQX: HWAIF), Tali AI, Phelix, and Simon Fraser University driving critical contributions. Health Compass II aims to further revolutionize the healthcare industry by enhancing interoperability and leveraging AI to reduce healthcare provider burdens. Building on the success of the initial Health Compass phase, Health Compass II will introduce an innovative suite of four AI-driven modules integrated through an EMR-agnostic mobile app, designed to engage patients, automate administrative tasks, assist healthcare providers with documentation, and enhance clinical decision-making.

The project’s components include:

Decision Compass by HEALWELL AI: A clinical decision support module to identify opportunities for earlier diagnosis and/or improved care for rare and complex diseases.Patient Compass by ORX: A user-friendly patient-facing virtual agent module that improves patient engagement by 30% by enabling patients to find, get and advance care with providers.SMART Inbox by Phelix: A back-of-house automation module that leverages AI algorithms to streamline administrative tasks and reduce manual administrative efforts for clinics by 50% or more.Voice Assistant by Tali: An AI Assistant that employs ambient sensing technology to capture medically relevant information from natural conversations, with patient consent, without taking provider focus away from their patient.

The combination of all four Health Compass II partner AI modules into WELL’s Provider Compass will result in equipping healthcare providers with the automation of all non-billable patient interactions and outputs of the patient visit (patient referral letters, prescriptions, etc.); scribe the entirety of the provider-patient visit; and provide clinical suggestions based on the patient’s medical record. Ultimately, enabling a reality for clinics and clinicians to focus more on patient care by automating the majority of day-to-day administrative tasks without having to turn on their computer.

Hamed Shahbazi, CEO and Founder of WELL, shared his excitement and gratitude about this announcement: “This is a monumental milestone and we are honoured and grateful to DIGITAL and Minister Champagne’s office for their commitment to supporting healthcare innovation and responsible AI research. At WELL, we are committed to leveraging technology to empower healthcare providers and reduce burnout by equipping them with responsible AI and other tools to assist in providing quality care and ultimately improve patient outcomes. Projects like Health Compass II directly support this mission and are essential in fuelling healthcare’s digital transformation.”

The Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry shared, “artificial intelligence presents a transformative opportunity for healthcare professionals to innovate and enhance patient experiences, and Canada is at the forefront of this pivotal field. Our government is proud to champion the Digital Technology Cluster as it collaborates with industry partners, like WELL Health, to reshape the delivery of healthcare services for Canadians.”

Taleeb Noormohamed, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Canadian Heritage shared, “from helping health professionals take notes and assist in recording their diagnoses, to streamlining administrative paperwork and facilitating the patient care experience, this innovative project is using AI to build a better future for Canadians. The government looks forward to the success of the Health Compass II project and to other made-in-Canada innovations, that will unlock social and economic benefits for everyone.”

“Canada has a significant opportunity and imperative to leverage our global leadership in AI research into accelerated commercialization of that research into Canadian AI applications and tools. These tools will help solve some of the world’s biggest challenges while accelerating the growth of Canadian companies. DIGITAL’s continued investment in the Health Compass initiative is supporting improved health outcomes for Canadians while also supporting Canadian innovators,” said Sue Paish, CEO of DIGITAL. “Since 2018, DIGITAL has worked to foster innovation, help Canadian companies grow and spur private sector investment in digital solutions that are making a positive difference in the lives of Canadians.”

Health Compass II is set to transform the way healthcare providers practice by replacing traditional exam room workstations with a clinician’s preferred smartphone device, automating the majority of day-to-day tasks without the need for a computer. This initiative is expected to achieve a 25% reduction in healthcare delivery costs for clinics and a 20% improvement in patient satisfaction within the first two years post-implementation.

WELL Health will not only serve as the lead commercialization partner and first customer, but will also be continuing to build standards-based API interoperability, giving a competitive advantage to each SME AI module developed. The consortium will leverage WELL’s extensive network, including their Provider Solutions platform that supports more than 3,400 clinics and over 34,000 healthcare providers, including the distribution channels of OceanMD (A WELL Health Company) and its’ EMR assets, as well as WELL’s own clinic network across Canada that includes over 175 clinics and greater than 1,600 healthcare providers including registered physicians and other healthcare professionals. WELL’s Provider Solutions Platform is Canada’s leader in healthcare provider products and services, AI healthcare solutions, and information security services, WELL is committed to ensuring that best-in-class privacy, cyber security and ethical AI implementation remains at the forefront of the commercialization of Health Compass II.

The Health Compass II project is a testament to WELL Health’s commitment to empowering healthcare providers and enhancing patient experiences across North America. With this significant investment, WELL Health and its partners are poised to set a new standard for the deployment of ethical AI in healthcare, interoperability and EMR innovation, healthcare provider workflows, and patient care. Health Compass II and other healthcare innovations from WELL and its partners, will undoubtedly contribute towards the improvement of health outcomes for Canadians and the reduction of healthcare provider burnout.

Trupeer AI Appoints Former UiPath APAC President & CEO Raghu Subramanian to Accelerate UK Enterprise Growth

Published

By

LONDON, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Trupeer AI, the workflow knowledge layer for teams and AI agents, today announced the appointment of Raghu Subramanian as President and Chief Business Officer as the company accelerates its expansion in the United Kingdom, one of Europe’s most knowledge-intensive enterprise markets. Backed by RTP Global, Salesforce Ventures and trusted by more than 50,000 teams in over 100 countries, Trupeer is strengthening its leadership team to scale adoption across enterprises, financial and professional services firms, and technology-enabled business services companies.

The United Kingdom represents a strategic priority for Trupeer. London’s financial services and professional services sectors rank among the most compliance-documented, knowledge-intensive industries anywhere in the world, where process knowledge is a regulatory artifact, not a nice-to-have. UK enterprises are also among Europe’s largest buyers of global business services, operating capability centres across multiple countries, placing them squarely on the demand side of the cross-border knowledge distribution challenge Trupeer is built to solve. For organisations managing teams and processes across geographies, the ability to capture knowledge once and deploy it in 120+ languages is operational infrastructure, not a feature. The depth of this opportunity is already visible in Trupeer’s deployments: a FTSE 100 company used the platform to train thousands of employees across a multi-country IT transformation, saving over 9,000 hours in the process.

Raghu joins from a distinguished career at the forefront of enterprise automation. As a founding member of the management team at UiPath, he was part of the core executive team that helped build the company into a $35+ billion NYSE-listed enterprise. He established UiPath’s India operations in 2016 and later served as President & CEO for India and APAC. Bringing over 25 years of enterprise technology leadership, Raghu has built and scaled enterprise businesses across global markets, with deep expertise in automation, business process management, and enterprise AI adoption. Prior to joining UiPath, he served as CTO of EXL Service.

At Trupeer, he will lead the company’s next phase of commercial expansion, with a sharp focus on UK-headquartered enterprises and the demand side of European global capability centre networks. Trupeer’s platform transforms unstructured, multimodal workflows into SOPs, guides, training assets, studio-quality videos, and continuously updated, AI-ready context for employees and intelligent agents, delivering knowledge transfer in 120+ languages.

Shivali Goyal, CEO and Co-Founder, Trupeer AI, said, “Raghu has spent decades helping organisations adopt and scale transformative technologies and brings deep experience in building enterprises globally. Having seen first-hand the challenges enterprises face in organisational knowledge and agentic AI enablement, Raghu immediately resonated with our vision and the momentum Trupeer has built globally. His expertise will help us strengthen our commercial capabilities, deepen partnerships, and unlock the next phase of growth at Trupeer.”

Raghu Subramanian, President and Chief Business Officer, Trupeer AI, said, “Enterprises have long struggled to get real value from AI, and the reason is fragmented context. The knowledge that makes AI useful sits trapped in people’s heads and scattered across tools. In the agentic AI era, where agents are only as good as the context they run on, that gap becomes the difference between AI that works and doesn’t. This is the gap Trupeer was built to close. I look forward to partnering with enterprises and organisations across the globe to build the context layer that makes enterprise knowledge structured, accessible, and actionable, and AI genuinely useful.”

About Trupeer

Trupeer AI is the workflow knowledge layer for enterprises that enables teams and AI agents. The company helps organizations capture critical operational knowledge that is often trapped in the minds of subject matter experts and scattered across tools, transforming it into structured, accessible, and queryable knowledge. Its platform captures enterprise workflows and turns unstructured, multimodal input into SOPs, guides, studio-quality videos, training assets into 120+ languages and continuously updated, AI-ready context that intelligent agents can leverage, making institutional knowledge accessible, actionable, and queryable. Backed by RTP Global and Salesforce Ventures, Trupeer supports more than 50,000 teams in over 100 countries, including Fortune 100 enterprises, Global Capability Centers and technology-enabled business services companies.

Resilience Actions, a Re Sustainability Initiative, Launches ECOHUB.IN to Power India’s Climate and Circular Economy Innovation Ecosystem

Published

June 19, 2026

By

HYDERABAD, India, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Resilience Actions, the social and environmental impact initiative of Re (Re Sustainability), has launched ECOHUB.IN, a sustainability-focused incubator designed to support early-stage enterprises working in climate and clean-tech, pollution management, resource efficiency, circular economy, and sustainability innovation.

The initiative is aimed at startups that have moved beyond the ideation stage and are ready for commercial scale, with a working Minimum Viable Product (MVP), a committed team, and a clearly defined market opportunity.

As India advances towards a low-carbon and circular economy, the demand for innovative sustainability solutions continues to grow. However, many promising ventures face challenges in scaling due to limited access to mentorship, catalytic capital, industry partnerships, pilot opportunities, and business validation. ECOHUB.IN has been established to bridge these gaps and help transform high-potential sustainability ventures into scalable businesses capable of delivering measurable environmental and social impact.

Through the incubator, participating startups will gain access to mentorship, technical and business advisory support, investment-readiness assistance, pilot-to-commercial pathways, ecosystem partnerships, and opportunities for industry integration. A key differentiator of ECOHUB.IN is its connection to Re’s extensive operational ecosystem, enabling selected ventures to engage with domain experts, validate solutions in real-world environments, and explore pathways for commercial deployment and scale.

Commenting on the launch, Masood Mallick, Managing Director and Group CEO, Re (Re Sustainability), said:

“India’s sustainability transition will not be driven by infrastructure alone. It will be driven by innovation, entrepreneurship, and the ability to scale ideas that solve real environmental challenges. Through ECOHUB.IN, we are creating a platform that brings together innovators, startups, industry leaders, investors, academia, and policymakers to accelerate solutions that are commercially viable, environmentally responsible, and capable of delivering measurable impact.

India has no shortage of ideas. What is often missing is the ecosystem that helps transform those ideas into scalable enterprises. ECOHUB.IN is designed to bridge that gap by providing mentorship, industry access, business validation, and pathways to commercial adoption. By combining the strengths of innovation with the experience and operational ecosystem of Re Sustainability, we hope to enable the next generation of climate and circular economy entrepreneurs to build solutions that contribute meaningfully to India’s sustainability journey and create lasting value for society, industry, and the planet.”

Over time, ECOHUB.IN aims to strengthen India’s sustainability innovation ecosystem by supporting ventures that reduce pollution, improve resource efficiency, advance circularity, create green jobs, enable decarbonization, and contribute to a more resilient future.

Applications for the inaugural cohort will open shortly through ECOHUB.IN.
