WELL Health Reports HEALWELL AI and WELLSTAR Subsidiaries Are Selected for Canada Health Infoway's Vendor Innovation Program
Infoway's Vendor Innovation Program (VIP) is designed to accelerate the development and clinical implementation of real-world interoperability innovations that are aligned with the Shared Pan-Canadian Interoperability Roadmap. The program empowers selected vendors to develop and implement innovations that accelerate the adoption of interoperability. This year's winning projects exemplify how innovation can accelerate the adoption of interoperability by improving data quality, enhancing care coordination, and expanding access to standardized, actionable health information for patients and clinicians.
'The Vendor Innovation Program is a critical component in mobilizing Canada's digital health industry,' says Abhi Kalra, Executive Vice President, Connected Care at Canada Health Infoway. 'By supporting the implementation of real-world solutions in clinical settings, we are helping to demonstrate what's possible when innovation is aligned with national priorities and focused on the needs of patients and care teams.'
Dr. Alexander Dobranowski, CEO of HEALWELL, said, 'Intrahealth and Pentavere's recognition through the Vendor Innovation Program demonstrates the tremendous impact HEALWELL companies are having in the digital health landscape. Both companies are at the forefront of transforming healthcare delivery with innovative solutions that enhance data-driven care coordination, streamline workflows, and empower clinicians to deliver better patient outcomes. We remain committed to improving patient care and supporting healthcare providers with actionable insights, while also focusing on addressing the needs of underserved and rural communities, where our technology can make the most meaningful difference.'
Amir Javidan, CEO of WELLSTAR, said, 'We are incredibly proud to see OceanMD, as part of WELLSTAR, recognized for its innovation in improving healthcare outcomes through digital technologies. This recognition is a testament to the exceptional work our team is doing in transforming patient care, and we are excited to see the impact this will have in clinical settings across Canada. In total, WELL Health and HEALWELL companies have earned significant recognition in this prestigious program, with three out of the eight winners coming from the WELL Health family. This achievement highlights our leadership and innovation in the digital health sector, further solidifying our role in transforming healthcare across Canada.'
Selected from more than 40 applications across the country, the 2025 VIP cohort reflects the breadth of Canada's healthcare landscape, including solutions targeting primary care, acute care, and Indigenous and rural communities. The three recipient projects from the WELL Health family are as follows:
Pentavere: Integrating its DARWEN™ AI system with EMRs to generate clinician-facing patient summaries, reducing chart review time and improving provider efficiency.
OceanMD: Enhancing its eReferral system with open APIs and AI automation to streamline referral workflows and support real-time clinical decision-making.
Intrahealth: Developing standardized FHIR-based tools to enable seamless, accurate transfer of full patient records between EMR systems across Canada.
These projects were selected not only for their technical merit, but for their demonstrated potential to deliver real, lasting impact on Canada's digital health priorities. These three initiatives will be deployed in live clinical environments, across Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, providing tangible value to patients, clinicians, and health system leaders.

What are the best and worst ice cream bars for your health? Ranking frozen treats — from Drumsticks to frozen yogurt bars
They're all tasty. But are any actually good for you? Whether they're eaten on a long weekend family roadtrip or enjoyed in the backyard after a tasty BBQ, ice cream bars are one of summer's most-loved treats. Given the portability and nostalgia, it's not surprising Canadians are obsessed with these yummy indulgences. But how do these frozen delights stack up nutritionally — especially if you're trying to watch your sugar and fat intake? Below, we run down how some of the country's most popular frozen treats — including ice cream bars, frozen yogurt and sorbet bars — stack up. This article is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Contact a qualified medical professional before engaging in any physical activity, or making any changes to your diet, medication or lifestyle. Frozen yogurt bars Frozen yogurt bars have gotten a major glow-up over the past decade. These days, grocery store shelves sport frozen yogurt treats enrobed in chocolate and featuring jammy fruit swirls. Brands like IOGO offer a little something for your sweet tooth in both dipped and non-dipped varieties. They'll set you back around 100 calories and about 14 per cent of your daily recommended sugar intake. It's worth noting that unlike un-frozen yogurt, most of these treats don't add much nutritionally to your diet. For example, other than being scant on sugar and fat, the nutritional breakdown of Chapman's frozen yogurt bars clocks only 2 per cent of your daily recommended calcium intake. If only the real deal will do? For roughly the same amount of fat and calories, you could chow down on a mini-sized ice cream bar. The takeaway: Frozen yogurt bars are great to scratch the ice cream itch without costing you too much of your daily caloric intake. But they don't have much of an edge in terms of added nutrition. Frozen fruit and ice bars Chapman's also sells a frozen sorbet stick dipped in chocolate that looks luscious and stacks up similarly to yogurt bars nutritionally. Del Monte, meanwhile, makes bars that are mainly frozen fruit puree bars (with a few additives, of course). Each of these bars — which are smaller in size than other brands — are 50 calories a piece, making them a lower (if not the lowest) calorie treat. They're fat-free and even provide a small amount of vitamin — around 5 per cent of your recommended daily value of vitamin C, for example. You might also be surprised to find out one bar has only 10 grams of sugar. Compliments brand also offers fruit puree bars that are similar nutrition-wise: 80 calories and sugar ranges in the teens — but almost double the size of their Del Monte competitors. Chapman's Lil Lolly bars are possibly the best-scoring treat: For a mere 40 calories and no fat, you can go for a Popsicle vibe that only has 8 grams of sugar. Considering these bars are essentially frozen flavoured water, this nutritional profile makes sense. It's up to you if the icier texture of this genre of treat outweighs the numbers: Sometimes that texture is more refreshing, but sometimes you might prefer something richer. The takeaway: Frozen fruit bars are often the healthiest option you'll find at the grocery store — Del Monte's frozen fruit puree bars are only 50 calories and even have a small amount of vitamin C. Dipped ice cream bars Haagen-Daaz. Magnum. Chapman's. This category belongs to the heavy-hitters: Decadent ice cream covered in chocolate, nuts or candy. Naturally, no diet frontrunners are here, but that doesn't mean you need to swear off your favourites. Haagen-Daaz, the epitome of grocery chain luxury, offers its classic takes — like vanilla in a chocolate-almond coating or vanilla in dark chocolate — in mini form, which carry an almost-identical nutritional breakdown to the average fro-yo bar. Full-size bars — which are 88ml instead of a mini's 55ml — are a different story. They can be around 300 calories and a quarter of your daily recommended sugar intake. Then there's the maximalist Haagen-Daz EXTRAAS bars: Flavours like key lime pie and salted caramel crunch are slightly smaller than the brand's original line, but carry similar nutritional info, with enough carbs and sugar content to make those calorie-conscious people take note. Magnum, another high-end treat, carries about half your daily allotment of saturated fat per bar, as well as nearly 20 grams of sugar. The brand's mini bars also have more calories and fat than other bite-sized bars from most competing brands. Chapman's ice cream bars fare surprisingly similar to their frozen yogurt counterparts; one bar has around 150 calories and 10 grams of sugar. They fall closely in line with Nestle's Parlour dipped bars, which have a mere seven grams of fat, giving more of a middle-road indulgence. The takeaway: Much akin to the above fro-yo bars, dipped ice cream bars don't offer a ton in terms of adding nutrients to your diet, but unlike those dieter's dreams, these treats generally are more of a spend in terms of calories, fat and sugar. Frozen ice cream cones Nestle's Drumsticks — possibly the most iconic in the frozen cone genre — feature more than 15 grams of fat and 20 per cent of your daily sugar allotment. Chapman's Super Cones fair marginally better, but if you're looking for a waffle cone with something to sink your teeth into on top, you'll be looking at a fat content in the teens and sugar in the low 20s. The takeaway: The fat, sugar and calorie content of these tasty treats makes them a great occasional indulgence. Like their dipped ice cream counterparts, these treats offer little-to-nothing in terms of added nutrients. The bottom line So, what to do when your sweet tooth conspires with sultry summer heat to make reaching for ice cream the only option? If you're looking to watch your sugar and fat intake, we suggest going with a frozen yogurt bar or frozen fruit stick — or sticking with a mini size of your favourite ice cream bar. That said, there's no harm in enjoying the occasional full-sized ice cream bar or Drumstick if you indulge in them as part of a balanced diet.
