Why Vertical Integration and Blockchain Will Define the Next Era of Healthcare
PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESS Newswire / May 21, 2026 / Datavault AI Inc. (“Datavault AI” or the “Company”), a provider of data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset (‘RWA’) tokenization technologies, today entered into a fully binding term sheet (the “Binding Term Sheet”) with Wellgistics Health, Inc. (“Wellgistics”) (NASDAQ:WGRX), a health information technology leader, integrating proprietary pharmacy dispensing optimization artificial intelligence (AI) platform EinsteinRx™ into its patented blockchain-enabled smart contracts platform PharmacyChain™, today released a letter to shareholders expanding upon strategy behind recently announced transactions.
‘Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Yesterday we announced a series of transactions that, taken together, mark the most consequential strategic moment in Wellgistics Health’s history. We are writing today to explain what connects them – and why we believe the steps we are taking now will position Wellgistics as essential infrastructure for the healthcare industry of the next decade.
Our thesis is straightforward: vertical integration is the only path to real efficiency in healthcare, and blockchain is the only architecture capable of supporting it at scale. Every participant in healthcare – providers, payors, pharmacies, manufacturers, and patients – is operating with fragmented data, duplicated workflows, and trust gaps that cost the system hundreds of billions of dollars each year. We believe these inefficiencies cannot be solved by another point solution layered on top of legacy systems. They require a unified data fabric that captures, verifies, and exchanges health information across every node of care. That fabric will be built on blockchain. We believe it is not a question of whether the industry adopts blockchain-based infrastructure, but when – and who is positioned to provide it.
That conviction is the strategic logic behind every announcement we made yesterday.
DelivMeds AI and the expanded Datavault license give us the enabling intellectual property for commercial tokenized healthcare data management. Tokenization is the mechanism that turns fragmented health data into a verifiable, exchangeable, and valuable asset. By forming DelivMeds AI and consolidating these capabilities inside our EinsteinRx™ platform, we are building the data layer that the rest of the industry will eventually need to plug into.
The QOLPOM patent portfolio brings remote biometric patient verification, technology-enabled pharmacodynamic monitoring, and medical drone biometric IP under our roof. Verification is the foundation of trust in any tokenized data system. Without it, health data cannot be reliably exchanged or monetized. QOLPOM’s IP gives us the authentication layer that makes the data layer credible. And it opens up a potential unique future last-mile solution using drones capable of biometric patient verification to deliver prescriptions and pickup diagnostic specimen collection for lab services in rural communities.
The Tollo Health controlling interest and Forzet™ extend our reach directly to the patient. Through the Health Lives Here program in partnership with NFL Alumni Health, we will engage GLP-1 patients managing muscle loss – generating real-world adherence, outcomes, and biometric data that flows back into our platform. This is vertical integration in practice: from the manufacturer relationship, through the pharmacy network, the prescription dispensing event, the patient’s daily experience, and back into the data infrastructure that improves the next decision.
Each of these moves stands on its own. Together, they form a single integrated thesis. The pharmacy is the most under-appreciated touchpoint in healthcare – it is where prescriptions are filled, where adherence begins, and where the richest longitudinal data on patient behavior already lives. We have spent years building the connective tissue across 6,500 pharmacies and 200+ manufacturers. We are now extending that connective tissue upstream into data infrastructure and downstream into patient care.
The companies that will define healthcare over the next ten years will not be the ones with the best single product. They will be the ones who own the data, the verification, and the patient relationship – and who can move information across all three with cryptographic trust. That is what we are building.
We recognize that the breadth of yesterday’s announcements raises questions, and we are committed to keeping our shareholders informed at every step. We will provide additional detail in the coming weeks as definitive agreements are finalized.
The planned share restructuring and new CUSIP support the Company’s next phase of growth.
Thank you for your continued confidence in Wellgistics Health. We are building this Company with conviction, and we believe the foundation we are laying now will deliver durable value for shareholders, providers, and patients alike.’
Sincerely,
Gerald Commissiong
Interim Co-Chief Executive Officer
