Healwell AI, a Canadian technology company, has experienced a remarkable turnaround, becoming one of the best-performing companies in the country. The company’s stock has surged by over 100% in 2024 and an impressive ~620% in the past 12 months, outperforming well-known AI names like Nvidia and SoundHound AI.
Formerly known as MCI OneHealth, Healwell AI underwent a significant transformation that saved it from bankruptcy. The company sold its struggling clinics to Well Health Technologies, which has now become the largest operator of outpatient clinics in Canada and the US. Well Health’s acquisition of MCI OneHealth also included equity investments, making it Healwell’s largest shareholder.
Healwell AI aims to be a leader in healthcare AI, with the global AI in healthcare industry expected to reach $2028 billion by 2028. The company provides AI solutions through its partnership with Well Health, powering the Well Health.ai platform and offering services like AI Inbox Admin and AI Decision Support.
Additionally, Healwell has made strategic investments in companies like Khure Health, PolyClinic, and Pentavere, further solidifying its position in the AI healthcare sector. The company’s revenue growth is expected to continue as its portfolio companies thrive, with management aiming to achieve cash flow positivity by the end of 2024 or 2025.
While Healwell AI’s turnaround story is impressive, there are risks to consider, including valuation concerns, AI fatigue among investors, and the potential pitfalls of growth through acquisitions. Despite these risks, Healwell AI’s management remains optimistic about the company’s future prospects in the fast-growing AI space.
