Novari Health

What Novari Health does

Novari Health is a Canadian healthcare technology company that builds cloud-based software for managing patient referrals, surgical and medical imaging wait lists, and central intake workflows across hospital systems and government health authorities. Its platform comprises a referral management suite, a wait list management suite, and specialized modules including surgical wait list management, medical imaging requisition management, automated referral transcription, referral central intake, electronic referral, and bed management. The software is designed to integrate with dominant hospital information systems such as Oracle Health and AGFA imaging, enabling centralized triage and routing of referrals to the clinical setting with the shortest wait time.

The company operates an enterprise field sales motion targeting government health authorities and large hospital systems, with multi-year government contracts as the primary commercial vehicle. Its customer base spans provincial health systems in Canada (notably the Ontario government's Patients Before Paperwork initiative, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, and Northern Health in British Columbia), NHS-affiliated provider collaboratives in the United Kingdom, and deployments in Australia, covering clinical services including surgery, medical imaging, and mental health. In July 2025, Novari was acquired by VitalHub Corp (TSX-V) for up to CAD 48.6 million and now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary within VitalHub's broader healthcare technology portfolio, benefiting from the parent's CAD 121.3M cash position, 25% adjusted EBITDA margin, and CAD 31.9M in Q1 2026 revenue.
