Halifax’s Tranquility Online, whose digital solution helps people deal with anxiety, has been acquired by Toronto-based health insurer Green Shield Canada for an undisclosed sum.
The companies issued a statement on Wednesday saying Tranquility Online would retain its name and continue to be based in Halifax under the leadership of Co-Founder and President Joel Muise.
Founded in 2017, Tranquility’s website and app offer an automated, digital version of cognitive behavioral therapy—a form of psychotherapy designed to cultivate self-awareness and short-circuit harmful patterns of thought.
