About
Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc.
Novo
Integrated Sciences, Inc. is pioneering a holistic approach to patient-first health and wellness through a multidisciplinary healthcare
ecosystem of services and product innovation. Novo offers an essential and differentiated solution to deliver, or intend to deliver,
these services and products through the integration of medical technology, advanced therapeutics, and rehabilitative science.
We
believe that “decentralizing” healthcare, through the integration of medical technology and interconnectivity, is an essential
solution to the rapidly evolving fundamental transformation of how non-catastrophic healthcare is delivered both now and in the future.
Specific to non-critical care, ongoing advancements in both medical technology and inter-connectivity are allowing for a shift of the
patient/practitioner relationship to the patient’s home and away from on-site visits to primary medical centers with mass-services.
This acceleration of “ease-of-access” in the patient/practitioner interaction for non-critical care diagnosis and subsequent
treatment minimizes the degradation of non-critical health conditions to critical conditions as well as allowing for more cost-effective
healthcare distribution.
The
Company’s decentralized healthcare business model is centered on three primary pillars to best support the transformation of non-catastrophic
healthcare delivery to patients and consumers:
| ● |
First Pillar: Service Networks. Deliver multidisciplinary primary
care services through (i) an affiliate network of clinic facilities, (ii) small and micro footprint sized clinic facilities primarily
located within the footprint of box-store commercial enterprises, (iii) clinic facilities operated through a franchise relationship with
the Company, and (iv) corporate operated clinic facilities. |
| ● |
Second Pillar: Technology. Develop, deploy, and integrate sophisticated
interconnected technology, interfacing the patient to the healthcare practitioner thus expanding the reach and availability of the Company’s
services, beyond the traditional clinic location, to geographic areas not readily providing advanced, peripheral based healthcare services,
including the patient’s home. |
| ● |
Third Pillar: Products. Develop and distribute effective, personalized
health and wellness product solutions allowing for the customization of patient preventative care remedies and ultimately a healthier
population. The Company’s science-first approach to product innovation further emphasizes our mandate to create and provide over-the-counter
preventative and maintenance care solutions. |
Innovation
through science combined with the integration of sophisticated, secure technology assures Novo Integrated Sciences of continued cutting-edge
advancement in patient-first platforms.
