VANCOUVER, BC and TORONTO, Oct. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - WELL Health Technologies Corp. (TSX: WELL) (OTCQX: WHTCF) ("WELL" or the "Company"), a digital healthcare company focused on improving health outcomes through technology and empowering healthcare providers globally, is pleased to announce the launch of a new weight care vertical by its majority-owned subsidiary, Wisp, the largest dedicated women's telehealth provider in the U.S. With Wisp now serving over 1.2 million patients, this expansion represents a pivotal step forward in addressing critical health needs related to hormonal imbalances and weight management for women.

Through this launch, Wisp introduces personalized, online consultations with access to four weight care solutions, including GLP-1 medications, to support women struggling with hormonal conditions such as perimenopause, menopause, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), and endometriosis. Additionally, Wisp debuts its first-ever exclusive over-the-counter weight care capsules, designed to promote women's metabolic health.

"Wisp is committed to providing sustainable support for women's weight loss journeys, addressing a critical yet overlooked aspect of women's health," said Monica Cepak, CEO of Wisp. "As the dialogue around obesity evolves, we recognize that underlying conditions — especially hormonal imbalances linked to perimenopause and menopause — remain under-researched, underdiagnosed, and undertreated. With these new offerings, we're proud to continue expanding access to comprehensive care, offering tailored solutions for every woman and every condition at every price point."

"The launch of Wisp's weight care vertical taps into the transformative potential of GLP-1 therapies," said Hamed Shahbazi, Founder and CEO of WELL. "These treatments are reshaping healthcare by addressing weight management while enhancing metabolic health and alleviating hormonal challenges. For women experiencing conditions like PCOS, perimenopause, and menopause, GLP-1s open doors to improved health outcomes and a better quality of life. By integrating these therapies into Wisp's offerings, we are delivering personalized care at scale and positioning ourselves at the leading edge of women's healthcare innovation."

Starting today, Wisp offers GLP-1 medications and supplements via pharmacy pickup or free, discreet delivery, following an online health consultation with a licensed provider. The program also includes educational content and monthly check-ins to ensure effective support throughout the patient's journey. Wisp's weight care program includes:

• Semaglutide (FDA-approved Wegovy^®): Subcutaneous injectable medication
• Compounded Semaglutide: Subcutaneous and sublingual options
• Metabolic Support & GLP-1 Boost Capsules: Natural supplement with key ingredients such as:
• Eriomin^®: Supports insulin function and healthy glucose levels
• Actiz!ng^™ (Black Ginger Extract): Boosts calorie burn and reduces abdominal fat
• GlucoVantage^® Dihydroberberine: Aids in body composition and blood sugar management
• PoZibio™ (Lactobacillus paracasei): Promotes gut health and metabolic function

In tandem with this launch, Wisp strengthens its menopause solutions, addressing the healthcare gap for the over 2 million women experiencing menopause annually. New offerings include Estriol Face Cream and hormone replacement therapies such as Transdermal Estradiol Patches, Oral Micronized Progesterone Capsules, and Provera Tablets.

These initiatives reflect Wisp's commitment to providing affordable, inclusive healthcare for women, complementing WELL's strategic vision of expanding access to high-quality care. Wisp's upcoming plans also include new at-home diagnostics and treatment options in STI, fertility, menopause, and weight care categories, further solidifying its leadership in digital women's health.
