Claritev Corporation (“Claritev” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CTEV), a technology, data and insights company focused on making healthcare more affordable, transparent and fair for all, and iO Health-FZE, an innovator in AI-driven healthcare technology, today announced a strategic agreement aimed at delivering Optima AI across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

Through this agreement, Claritev has secured exclusive rights to license, integrate, and resell iO Health’s Optima AI platform in the MENA region. Optima AI is a next-generation, AI-powered solution that helps to streamline financial and administrative processes for healthcare providers, helping them reduce claim denials, optimize workflows, and improve financial outcomes.

By integrating Optima AI into Claritev’s existing suite of products and solutions, the two companies will endeavor to jointly enable hospitals, clinics, and payors to improve claims management efficiency, transparency, and decision-making through advanced analytics that aim to enhance both clinical and financial performance.

“This strategic relationship marks a pivotal step in Claritev’s global expansion strategy,” said Travis Dalton, President & CEO, Claritev. “Together with iO Health, we are bringing cutting-edge AI technology to healthcare providers and payors in MENA, with the goal of helping them improve financial health while reducing administrative burden.”

“We are proud to collaborate with Claritev to expand the reach of Optima AI,” said Dr. Haidar Al Yousuf, CEO, iO Health. “This strategic relationship is more than a technology integration — it’s about redefining how healthcare providers and payors in the MENA region approach financial sustainability. By leveraging our proprietary AI-driven platform, we aim to empower stakeholders to recover revenue faster, reduce operational inefficiencies, and ultimately create a smarter, more patient-centric healthcare ecosystem.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Claritev and iO Health will work closely on implementation, integration, and ongoing support to ensure that healthcare organizations across the region can maximize the value of this partnership.
