The Competition Bureau of Canada has obtained a court order to gather necessary information for its investigation into WELL Health's acquisition of HEALWELL. This acquisition also includes control over Orion Health, which HEALWELL acquired in April 2025.

WELL Health, HEALWELL, and Orion Health are key players in the healthcare technology market, providing a range of products such as electronic medical records, telehealth services, and data analytics tools, many of which utilize artificial intelligence. WELL Health operates health clinics across Canada, enhancing its role in the healthcare ecosystem.

The Bureau's investigation aims to determine if the acquisition could substantially lessen competition in the healthcare technology market in Canada. Key areas of focus include the effects on user choice, costs, product interoperability, and access to innovations. The Bureau is also examining whether the acquisition creates barriers for competitors and new entrants, potentially solidifying WELL Health's position as a major supplier in this sector.

The Federal Court's order mandates WELL Health to provide relevant records and information to assist the Bureau in its investigation.
