Dialogue Launches Health Panel to Help Canadians Understand and Act on Hidden Health Risks

A preventive assessment that turns lab results, habits, and personal risk factors into a clear, personalized action plan and connects members to ongoing care.

MONTREAL, Sept. 24, 2026 /CNW/ -- Dialogue Health Technologies Inc. ("Dialogue"), Canada's leading virtual healthcare and wellness platform, launched the Dialogue Health Panel today: a preventive assessment that helps Canadian employees and their families know their heart, kidney, liver and metabolic health today, and where it's headed.

Health Panel

At least 15% of Canadians have one or more undiagnosed chronic diseases¹. Blood pressure, elevated blood sugar and early kidney changes develop quietly and can go undiagnosed for years. Most Canadians have no easy way to catch these early signals or understand what they mean for their future health.

Dialogue's Health Panel changes that by going beyond standard blood tests to deliver a clinical interpretation of a member's current and future health, combining lab data, personal risk factors and daily habits, informed by the latest validated predictive risk calculators. The result is a clear, personalized read on where a member's health stands today, where it's trending, and any actions that can change that trajectory. Focused on heart, kidney, liver and metabolic health, Dialogue's Health Panel complements the ongoing relationship with a family physician, connecting members back to primary care for continuity.

"Preventive care is out of reach for most Canadians," said Cherif Habib, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Dialogue. "We believe people deserve to understand their health risks early, while there is still time to act on them. By making focused, evidence-based preventive care accessible through workplace benefits, we're helping employees get ahead of the conditions that shape their long-term health."

Launching first in Ontario and Quebec, with plans to quickly expand nationally, Dialogue's Health Panel assesses markers across the heart, kidney and metabolic system and the organs that influence it:

• Cardiovascular health
• Metabolic and blood sugar health
• Blood health and nutrients
• Kidney and liver health
• Everyday habits and lifestyle

Members complete a brief intake through the app and receive a lab requisition within 48 hours. Blood and urine samples are collected at any of Dialogue's partner locations, with no appointment needed and in under 20 minutes. A Dialogue clinician reviews every result, then meets with the member to explain what the results mean and shares a personalized action plan. If a concern is identified, the clinician connects members to the appropriate healthcare programs, services, or their family physician.

"Many serious conditions develop quietly, and they rarely act alone. Blood pressure, blood sugar, liver and kidney function are deeply connected, and how they're trending matters as much as today's numbers," said Dr. Robin, Medical Director at Dialogue. "Health Panel doesn't just measure. It interprets, using validated risk models to show members where their health is heading and the highest-impact steps they can take to change that, while keeping them connected to their family physician for care."

The program is available exclusively to Dialogue members at $499, a fraction of the cost of comparable executive health assessments. It is structured to be eligible for reimbursement through employee Health Spending Accounts (HSAs) and Health Care Spending Accounts (HCSAs).
