Eczacıbaşı Group’s new health ecosystem, Evital, has entered into a collaboration with Huma Therapeutics (“Huma”), a global healthcare AI company. Mr. Emin Fadıllıoğlu, the Chairman of Eczacıbaşı Evital, said, "We are delighted to bring the competencies of Huma, which has a strong global experience, to Türkiye."

Turkey’s leading health ecosystem Evital is today announcing a strategic partnership with global digital health business Huma Therapeutics as it expands its suite of health solutions for its users.

Evital allows users to manage their health information from a single point. With over 1,000 doctors and a total of 3,000 health professionals in its ecosystem, Evital serves more than 30,000 individuals seeking health solutions and the organizations that prioritize supporting the well-being of their employees. The app enables individuals to carry out online or face-to-face consultations with doctors, dieticians, and psychologists as well as tracking laboratory services.

Through its partnership with Huma, Evital intends to enhance its proactive care offerings by incorporating Huma’s advanced tools for real-world data collection, self-management and remote monitoring. Huma will provide Evital with access to the Huma Cloud Platform, which includes a range of cutting-edge solutions, including remote patient monitoring programmes, companion apps, multi-device connectivity, risk assessment tools and algorithms powered by artificial intelligence, including generative AI (GenAI) capabilities. Evital will now be able to deepen the care provision for individuals outside of the traditional hospital setting, while reducing the burden on healthcare providers and systems, opening the potential for more proactive and preventative care. Together, Huma and Evital hope to leverage AI capabilities to expand access to high quality care and support health and wellbeing at scale.

The Chairman of Eczacıbaşı Evital, Emin Fadıllıoğlu emphasised that real-world data, if used for the good of society, can add tremendous value in management of illness, understanding of treatment efficacy and delivery of personalized interventions. He added, “We are observing how the rise of AI, which we closely monitor, is manifesting itself in the field of health care. As a part of the work we carry out at Eczacıbaşı Evital, we have embarked on a partnership with Huma, one of the leaders of global digital health technology companies that uses AI tools to improve proactive care.

Huma provides personalised insights generated from a patient’s medical history and health data, to optimise care and outcomes. Huma’s regulated Software as a Medical Device is the only disease- and device-agnostic platform to hold EU MDR Class IIb, US FDA (510k) Class II, India CDSCO Class-C, Saudi Arabia SFDA Class-C, and Australia TGA Class-IIb clearance. We are delighted to be bringing this global innovation, competence, and experience to Türkiye.”

Mr. Fadıllıoğlu added, “I believe that we have signed an agreement that will add value to our users and business partners.”

Over the past decade, we have dedicated ourselves to developing Huma Cloud Platform, a highly configurable, flexible, disease-agnostic, and regulated technology platform. I take pride in the fact that Huma is partnering with Eczacıbaşı Evital to leverage our platform, bringing digital health solutions to Türkiye and supporting individuals in Türkiye to lead longer, fuller lives.”
