Acquisition Expands Vora's Growing Healthcare Portfolio with a Unique AI-Powered Analytics and Collaboration Platform to improve outcomes for Rare Diseases
'Hive's mission-driven platform is already reshaping care for rare and chronic disease communities.'— Dr. Yousuf Ahmad, Chair of Vora's Healthcare Group
CINCINNATI, OH, UNITED STATES, May 1, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Vora Ventures, a Cincinnati-based private equity firm with a long-standing reputation for building and scaling high-growth technology companies, today announced its acquisition of Hive Networks, a pioneering healthcare technology platform transforming care for patients with rare and chronic conditions through Learning Health Networks (LHNs). With Hive, Vora Ventures adds a proven, real-world application of AI-powered, analytics and collaboration platform to its growing healthcare portfolio.
Hive Networks was born from a simple but powerful idea: to close the gap between knowledge and practice in healthcare. Hive's cloud-based platform brings together patients, families, clinicians, and researchers to continuously learn, improve, and co-create best practices — enabling better outcomes, faster discoveries, and more personalized care.
'Hive's mission-driven platform is already reshaping care for rare and chronic disease communities,' said Dr. Yousuf Ahmad, Chair of Vora's Healthcare Group. 'As part of the Vora ecosystem, Hive is positioned to rapidly expand its reach and deepen its impact on patient communities around the world.'
Hive powers some of the most successful LHNs in the country, including ImproveCareNow (focused on pediatric inflammatory bowel disease), the Improving Renal Outcomes Collaborative (IROC), and others addressing some of the most complex health conditions.
'I could not be more thrilled with this new partnership and believe it will bring state-of-the-art technology and a sustainable business model to Hive, thus enabling IROC and other learning health networks to learn faster and even more effectively improve the health of children throughout the United States and across conditions.' David K. Hooper MD, Principal Investigator at IROC.
These Learning Heath Networks use Hive's secure, real-time data and collaboration tools to co-create and implement best practices at scale — ensuring the right care is delivered to the right patient at the right time.
'We are excited to see Hive Networks become part of the Vora Ventures family,' said Paul Jenny, CFO of Cincinnati Children's, an early partner in Hive's development. 'Vora brings the strategic guidance, long-term vision, and resources to scale Hive's mission and impact.'
Hive Networks is poised to expand its impact in healthcare by forming new partnerships and extending its Learning Health Networks (LHNs) to address a broader range of medical conditions.
'We invested many resources to help co-develop Hive in collaboration with Cincinnati Children's and have been an active member of the Board of Directors since its launch. We are proud of what Hive has become and look optimistically towards its future under Vora Ventures' ownership,' said Emma Off, CEO of CIncyTech, a Cincinnati-based venture capital firm, which co-invested in Hive's launch. 'With Vora Ventures now behind it, Hive is poised to help even more communities, providers, and patients. This transition ensures the platform will grow into its fullest potential and further support the vision we all share—to impact millions of lives for the better.'
Hive applies its LHN model to mental health, including working with the Bipolar Action network to improve care for individuals with bipolar disorder through collaborative data analysis and shared learning among clinicians, researchers, and patients.

US imposes sanctions on a Palestinian NGO and other charities, accusing them ties to militant groups
The federal government claims that Addameer 'has long supported and is affiliated' with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a secular, left-wing movement with a political party and an armed wing that has carried out deadly attacks against Israelis. Israel and the United States have labeled the PFLP a terrorist organization. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Addameer did not immediately have a comment on the sanctions. Advertisement Israel has alleged that Addameer funds terrorism, a claim that the United Nations previously said it could not support with compelling evidence. In a 2022 The organization also works with Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and is a member of the World Organization Against Torture. Israel's 2022 storming of Addameer's offices, prompted a rebuke from the UN, who said in a statement that Israel had not provided convincing evidence to support the claim. The UN said Addameer was conducting 'critical human rights, humanitarian and development work in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.' Advertisement In February, Zachor Legal Institute, an Israeli-American advocacy group that says it focuses on combatting antisemitism and terrorism, requested Addameer be added to Treasury's sanctions list. Marc Greendorfer, president of Zachor Legal Institute said in an email to the Associated Press that his group is 'very pleased to see Treasury following up on our request.' He said the federal government should act 'to prevent hostile foreign actors from spreading hate and violence in the United States. We applaud Treasury's action and encourage Treasury to expand its focus to the other groups that we identified.'

OPEC boss slams net-zero targets, promotes big future for oil in Calgary speech
The secretary-general of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries says the world's thirst for oil will continue for decades to come and investment in the sector is necessary to meet those needs. Haitham al-Ghais made his remarks in a speech to the Global Energy Show in Calgary on Tuesday, at a time when oil prices are sagging and experts predict they could fall further later this year. "Simply put, ladies and gentlemen, there is no peak in oil demand on the horizon. The fact that oil demand keeps rising, hitting new records year on year, is a clear example of what I'm saying," he said in his speech. Primary energy demand is forecast to rise by 24 per cent between now and 2050, he said, surpassing 120 million barrels of oil a day. Currently, oil demand is around 103 million barrels per day. "Meeting this ever-rising demand will only be possible with adequate and timely and necessary investments in the oil industry," he said, pointing to the need for $17.4 trillion US in investment over the next 25 years. Praise for Alberta oil and gas The secretary-general used his speech to compliment Alberta's oil and gas industry for its ability to grow production over the years, its technological improvements, and its role as a leader in developing carbon capture and storage facilities. He concluded his address by stating OPEC takes climate change "very, very seriously," and each of its member countries have signed on to the Paris climate accord. Still, he criticized net-zero targets by companies and countries as "unrealistic," "fixated on deadlines" and "detached from reality." Instead, he said the world should be focused on reducing emissions and using all forms of energy to meet the needs of the world's growing population. In 2024, emissions from the energy sector grew by 0.8 per cent compared to 2023, according to the International Energy Agency, while the global economy expanded by more than three per cent. In Canada, the federal government is already on pace to miss its 2030 target to cut carbon emissions by at least 40 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. Challenging times The speech comes at a time when the oilpatch is confronting weak commodity prices and many companies are pulling back on investment. OPEC countries are producing more this year, along with more output from Canada, the U.S. and Guyana. Last month, the Vienna-based cartel agreed to raise output by 411,000 barrels a day in June, speeding up the gradual return of 2.2 million barrels a day. For context, Canada produces about five million barrels per day in total. At the same time, global consumption of oil is not rising as initially expected because of slowing global trade. "Demand is not falling, but we are in a period where demand growth is weak. In fact, if you take out the COVID year of 2020, the global financial crisis of '08-'09, this looks like it could be the weakest year of growth since 2001," said Jim Burkhard, global head of crude oil research with S&P Global Commodity Insights, in an interview with CBC News. Big drop forecasted North American oil prices are averaging about $65 US per barrel in recent days, but S&P's latest oil forecast released this week anticipates prices could fall into the high-$40s per barrel later this year. "We could see a significant difference in price by the end of the year compared with where we are right now. A lot depends on the economy, of course, and the concern about tariffs and OPEC+ can alter their decisions at any time. But right now, on current trends, it looks like there's going to be a lot more supply relative to demand later this year," he said. More than 30,000 people from 100 countries are expected to attend the Global Energy Show in Calgary this week.
