This week at Web Summit Vancouver, Edmonton health-tech startup NiaHealth is set to announce a major national expansion and debut a suite of innovative tools designed to put Canadians in control of their long-term health.
With operations expanding to nine provinces and nearly 85% of the population, NiaHealth is doubling its geographic reach as part of its mission to shift healthcare from reactive treatment to proactive prevention.
“NiaHealth is flipping the script by helping people get ahead of illness, years or even decades in advance,” said Sameer Dhar, CEO and Co-Founder. “That starts by making access universal, and insights personalized, not generic.”
The company plans to unveil its latest features during the Version One Ventures portfolio showcase at Vancouver Demo Day, a side event of Web Summit. New capabilities include integration with continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and popular wearables such as Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin, and Oura Ring.
The invite-only CGM program—available to Optimum members—will offer real-time insights into how diet, exercise, sleep, and stress affect individual metabolic health. Wearables integration, expected to roll out later this summer, will allow users to consolidate sleep, activity, and recovery data with biomarker testing to form what NiaHealth calls a “360º health profile.”
These enhancements build on the company’s core service: personalized blood testing and clinical analysis. Over the past year, NiaHealth has completed nearly 100,000 biomarker tests. Results from these tests have revealed:
- 90% of users had at least one undiagnosed, actionable health risk
- 48% were deficient in vitamin D without knowing it
- 18% discovered a previously undetected genetic risk of heart disease
Unlike conventional care models that respond to illness, NiaHealth emphasizes early detection and tailored insights. Its flagship membership includes analysis of over 50 advanced biomarkers—several times more than a typical physical—and offers optional tests such as VO₂ Max, DEXA body composition scans, and gut microbiome profiling. All data is reviewed by longevity-trained clinicians.
“Most Canadians are still forced to wait for symptoms before they get support, but it’s 2025 and we have powerful technology and even more powerful science at our fingertips,” Dhar said.
With strong clinical backing, a commitment to data privacy, and a sleek user interface, NiaHealth is poised to redefine preventative care in Canada—starting this week in Vancouver.
