CALGARY, Alberta, June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vitalist Inc. (TSX-V: VITA.V; OTCQB: VTLSF) ("Vitalist"), is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Health-e Insights LLC, a provider of clinical care coordination and patient engagement solutions. Under the terms of the Program License Agreement, effective June 14, 2026, Vitalist and its subsidiaries will deploy their Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) platform across Health-e Insights' clinical workflows.

This partnership combines Health-e Insights' clinical support and care management expertise with Vitalist's wearable-enabled remote monitoring solution. Vitalist utilizes advanced algorithms to passively and non-invasively monitor Activities of Daily Living in real-time. By tracking critical indicators, the platform provides clinicians with predictive, actionable insights. This continuous oversight allows healthcare providers to intervene early, preventing adverse events and reducing hospital readmissions.

"We are thrilled to partner with Health-e Insights to expand the deployment of the Vitalist health platform," said Dr. Charles Herman, Chief Science Officer of Vitalist. "Vitalist's advanced monitoring capabilities offer visibility into a patient's daily wellbeing without disrupting their routine. Together with Health-e Insights' clinical expertise, we are empowering healthcare providers with the tools they need to transition from reactive treatment to proactive, preventive care."

"Our partnership with Vitalist represents a major step forward in our commitment to deliver proactive, continuous care," said Lisa Quercetti, Chief Clinical Officer of Health-e Insights. "By integrating the Vitalist health platform into our clinical workflow, our care teams will have access to real-time, passive patient data. This enables us to detect subtle changes in daily routines or physical indicators early on, allowing for timely, personalized clinical interventions that keep patients safe and healthy at home."

Through this agreement, Health-e Insights will leverage Vitalist's technology for comprehensive monitoring and care coordination services, including RPM, Chronic Care Management (CCM), and advanced data analytics. The initiative is designed to streamline clinical workflows, optimize patient engagement, and significantly improve health outcomes for individuals living with chronic conditions.
