CHOPRAX AND CARESPAN HEALTH SIGN MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING TO LAUNCH GLOBAL TELEHEALTH PLATFORM FOCUSED ON PREVENTIVE HEALTH, LONGEVITY, MENTAL HEALTH, CHRONIC DISEASE AND LIFESTYLE MEDICINE

Carespan Health Inc. has executed a memorandum of understanding dated May 19, 2023, with ChopraX LLC to develop and launch a global telehealth platform focused mainly on preventive health, longevity, mental health, management of diabetes and other lifestyle diseases.

Pursuant to the MOU, the company and ChopraX will subsequently negotiate the terms and conditions of a definitive agreement to be completed by June 19, 2023, or at a later date as agreed upon by both parties. It is intended that ChopraX will have an equity stake in the company, subject to shareholder and regulatory approval. Among other assets and capabilities, the company will contribute its integrated digital platform, as well as health care operations and technology expertise, while ChopraX will contribute the Chopra brand, clinical protocols, health care expertise and relationships with integrative medicine providers.

The goal of the proposed ChopraX-Carespan telehealth platform is to help people live productive longer lives, by enabling a global network of approved integrative medicine practitioners and complementary therapy practitioners to provide high-touch patient services virtually. The proposed ChopraX-Carespan telehealth platform is unique in that it will enable delivery of an evidence-based approach to treat the whole person, or integrative medicine, an approach that Dr. Deepak Chopra has been practising and advocating for over four decades.

Dr. Chopra, co-founder of ChopraX, commented: "We are excited to build a global network of like-minded practitioners of integrative medicine, who see patients with a view to utilizing conventional, complementary and lifestyle medicine within an integrative patient-centric framework to improve overall well-being. With the integrative medicine methodology we have developed, combined with Carespan's leading-edge virtual care technology and new AI-enabled capabilities, we believe we can help improve the lives of millions of people around the world in a profound way."

Poonacha Machaiah, co-founder of ChopraX, also commented: "People have begun to benefit from integrative medicine, including healthy people. Millions more can benefit as we work with Carespan to scale in the U.S. and globally. Our vision is that the global telemedicine platform will bring a curated network of professionals, proven evidence-based methodologies to treat the whole person to achieve optimal health and well-being. We will leverage best-in-class technologies to support continuous lifestyle monitoring and provide insights to enable contextual interventions in a person's well-being journey."

"We are truly honoured and excited to partner with ChopraX and contribute our technology, operations, people and expertise to support Dr. Chopra's unique vision of caring for the whole person," said Rembert de Villa, chairman and chief executive officer of Carespan. "We have been focused on primary care and chronic care management, and this partnership is very consistent with Carespan's mission to empower clinicians with technology and services that improve health outcomes. Together, we will also build new clinical decision support, as well as data analytics and AI-enabled capabilities, that will help scale and strengthen the core platform globally."
