Hydreight Technologies, a Victory Square Portfolio Company, Adds Tirzepatide to Its Medical Offerings
Victory Square Technologies Inc. (CSE:VST) (OTC:VSQTF) (FWB:6F6), known for its innovative portfolio of over 25 companies, announced that its portfolio company, Hydreight Technologies Inc. (TSXV:NURS)(OTCQB:HYDTF)(FSE:SO6), has introduced Tirzepatide to its range of medical services. This addition is significant as it offers a new, effective treatment option for patients across the United States.
Hydreight Technologies is a mobile clinical network and medical platform that facilitates at-home medical services throughout the U.S. With over 3,000 nurses and 107 white-label locations, Hydreight is enhancing its offerings by adding Tirzepatide, an FDA-approved medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. This medication will be available through Hydreight’s extensive medical network, covering more than 700 cities across all 50 states.
Victory Square Technologies has a history of investing in early-stage technology companies, focusing on sectors such as digital health, AI, blockchain, VR/AR, and gaming. Hydreight Technologies, a key portfolio company, exemplifies this strategy with its innovative approach to healthcare delivery. By enabling flexible, at-home medical services, Hydreight addresses the growing demand for accessible and convenient healthcare solutions.
Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1 and GIP agonist, primarily used for treating type 2 diabetes and effective in weight management. It joins the ranks of other GLP-1 medicines like Semaglutide, which Hydreight introduced in late 2023. The addition of Tirzepatide aligns with Hydreight’s mission to provide comprehensive, cutting-edge medical treatments to its clients.
Hydreight’s expansion into offering Tirzepatide is driven by a substantial increase in demand for similar treatments. Since the start of the year, orders for Semaglutide have surged by over 250%, reflecting a growing market for weight management solutions. Key benefits of Hydreight’s new offering include:
The addition of Tirzepatide is expected to bolster Hydreight’s market position significantly. With obesity rates climbing globally, effective treatments like Tirzepatide are in high demand. According to the World Obesity Atlas 2023, over half of the global population could be overweight or obese by 2035. This market trend suggests a substantial growth opportunity for Hydreight’s weight management offerings.
Goldman Sachs projects that the global market for anti-obesity medications could grow to $100 billion by 2030. Hydreight’s proactive expansion into this market positions it to capitalize on these trends, potentially driving significant revenue growth for Victory Square Technologies.
Shane Madden, CEO of Hydreight, commented on the addition of Tirzepatide: “The chronic weight management market is at a turning point. Medications like Tirzepatide and Semaglutide not only address weight loss and diabetes but are also showing promise in treating other conditions such as heart disease and anxiety. This expansion is a strategic move to meet the increasing demand for effective weight management solutions.”
While the introduction of Tirzepatide is promising, Hydreight must navigate potential challenges such as ensuring the safe and effective administration of the medication. The company has implemented extensive training for its network of nurses to address this. Additionally, the ongoing monitoring of patient outcomes will be crucial to maintain high standards of care and trust in the new treatment.
Victory Square Technologies continues to demonstrate its commitment to innovation and growth through strategic investments in cutting-edge companies like Hydreight Technologies. The addition of Tirzepatide to Hydreight’s portfolio marks a significant step in addressing the global obesity crisis and expanding access to effective medical treatments. Investors and the business community should watch closely as Victory Square leverages these opportunities to drive future growth.
