01 CEO Perspective Michael Dent M.D. CEO “ 2024 marked a pivotal year for HealthLynked, underlining our commitment to revolutionizing healthcare connectivity and accessibility. We broadened the reach of our telemedicine services to encompass all 50 states, ensuring 24/7 access to healthcare, and significantly advanced the capabilities of our platform to better serve patients and providers alike. With the launch of ARi, our AI - driven healthcare guide, and the consolidation of our clinical operations, we have strategically positioned HealthLynked at the forefront of digital healthcare innovation. These achievements are a testament to the dedication of our team and the enduring trust of our users, firmly establishing us as innovators in the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape." Dear Shareholders, As we reflect on the past year, I am proud to share the milestones and achievements that have defined 2024 as a pivotal year for HealthLynked. Guided by our mission to revolutionize healthcare connectivity and accessibility, we have made remarkable strides in expanding our capabilities and delivering value to our users, partners, and investors. The past year has presented substantial challenges in raising capital, particularly for companies like ours in the microcap market. Despite these hurdles, we remain committed to advancing our mission and have taken decisive steps to secure our future. Believing firmly in the potential of HealthLynked to transform the healthcare market, I have personally invested over $3 million over the past 16 months. This investment underscores my confidence in our vision and the long - term value we are poised to deliver. We made significant advancements to the HealthLynked platform, ensuring it delivers a seamless and intuitive experience for patients and healthcare providers alike. Our dedicated team has optimized functionality, improved user interfaces, and integrated new features designed to enhance patient engagement and simplify healthcare management. One of our most significant achievements has been the completion of our telemedicine offering and the launch of ARi, our AI healthcare guide. These developments have not only expanded our service capabilities but also positioned us as a leader in digital health solutions. As we unlock the value of the HealthLynked network, we have started consolidating our clinical operations. Moving forward, we anticipate gradually phasing out these services as we increase our revenue streams from the core HealthLynked network services, focusing primarily on leveraging our technology to bridge gaps in healthcare. Our commitment to enhancing the user experience and expanding our platform’s reach has resulted in a substantial increase in our patient user base. Through targeted marketing campaigns, strategic partnerships, and the proven value of our services, we have connected more patients with providers and resources. As we step into 2025, our focus is firmly on leveraging technology to address critical gaps in healthcare. We are committed to further enhancing our platform, growing our partnerships, and introducing new services to improve the patient and provider experience. Our goals include expanding our user base, driving innovation through AI integration, and forging collaborations with employers, insurers, and research institutions to create an even more robust healthcare ecosystem. With your continued support, we are confident that HealthLynked can be at the forefront of healthcare transformation. Together, we hope to not only drive shareholder value but also make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals by improving the accessibility, efficiency, and quality of care. Thank you for your support and confidence in our mission. Sincerely, Michael Dent M.D. CEO, HealthLynked

02 Company Focus Vision HealthLynked’s mission is to transform healthcare by seamlessly connecting patients, providers, and data through cutting - edge technology. We aim to deliver personalized, accessible, and comprehensive care, empowering patients and providers to achieve better health outcomes. By breaking down barriers to care and fostering a more efficient and collaborative healthcare ecosystem, HealthLynked is committed to building healthier, more connected communities on a global scale." Mission "HealthLynked’s mission is to transform healthcare through the integration of AI - driven technology, delivering personalized, 24/7 patient care. Our platform connects patients directly with healthcare providers and their medical data, enhancing communication, ensuring privacy, and improving health outcomes. By making care more accessible and efficient, we strive to set a new standard for patient - centered healthcare."

03 Product Development Continued Improvements to the Core HealthLynked Application and Website Over the past year, HealthLynked has made significant enhancements to its flagship platform, focusing on optimizing the user experience for both patients and healthcare providers. These updates include improved functionality for medical record storage, streamlined appointment scheduling, and a more intuitive interface for patient - provider communication. These advancements are designed to strengthen the platform’s ability to seamlessly connect patients and providers while ensuring data security and accessibility. Launch of ARi: HealthLynked’s Advanced AI Healthcare Guide A major milestone in HealthLynked’s development is the introduction of ARI, an AI - driven healthcare guide. ARi enables patients to onboard effortlessly, update their medical profiles, and receive personalized healthcare recommendations. With its advanced capabilities, ARI can analyze patient data to help diagnose potential medical issues and provide tailored guidance, empowering users to take proactive control of their healthcare. This achievement was further solidified by the submission of a non - provisional patent for ARi, marking a significant step toward protecting the technology’s innovation and establishing it as a proprietary solution in the healthcare market.

04 Product Development (Cont.) Launch of the Concierge Service HealthLynked unveiled a premium concierge service, offering members unparalleled access to healthcare management for a small monthly fee. Among other things, this premium service allows patients to book appointments with any doctor in the U.S., efficiently collect and organize their medical records, and leverage ARi’s powerful AI capabilities for personal care management. By combining convenience with cutting - edge technology, the concierge service enhances the value HealthLynked delivers to its members, thereby situating HealthLynked very strategically in a fast - growing segment of the market. Global Patient Engagement Solutions Market 50 40 30 20 10 0 41.8 22.5 19.6 2022 2023 2028 Inadequate interoperability across healthcare providers is an opportunity. The lack of interoperability across healthcare providers is a barrier to advancing patient engagement. Confronted with poor interoperability, hospitals import and export information from internal and external sources, such as the hospital’s EMR. Hence, a separate hospital may employ a few dozen interfaces. For care coordination models, far more complex interfaces will be important to accommodate data exchange. HealthLynked’s medical records storage feature eases this pain point in the patient journey. Nationwide Expansion of Telemedicine – A sizable growth opportunity In collaboration with Lyric Telemedicine, HealthLynked expanded its telemedicine services from limited coverage in Florida to 24/7 nationwide access. This expansion ensures patients can connect with licensed healthcare providers at any time, addressing the growing demand for flexible, remote medical consultations across the U.S. Global Telemedicine Revenues 300 250 200 150 100 50 285.7 101.2 87.9 0 2022 2023 2028

05 Product Development Discount Prescription Drug Program with Spark Rx To further reduce healthcare costs for its members, HealthLynked introduced a discount prescription drug program in partnership with Spark Rx. This initiative offers members significant savings on medications, enhancing affordability and improving access to essential treatments. HealthLynked generates revenues for each utilization of the discount coupon. Expansion of Fem - Tech Offerings HealthLynked has expanded its fem - tech portfolio, including advancements in the Oohvie menstrual tracker app. These updates integrate seamlessly with the core HealthLynked platform, providing female members with comprehensive tools to manage their health and connect with relevant healthcare resources. Launch of the Partnership Program To add even greater value to its membership, HealthLynked initiated a partnership program aimed at integrating new services and benefits into the platform. These partnerships bring innovative and complementary offerings, enriching the overall healthcare experience for members and fostering a more connected and efficient healthcare ecosystem. In summary, HealthLynked’s product development over the past year has been marked by innovation and strategic growth, delivering powerful tools and services that redefine patient - centered care while expanding accessibility, affordability, and engagement across its platform. Moreover, we believe that there is significant market growth opportunity that exists in each segment of our recent product development initiatives that gives us optimism about future revenue growth!! Continuing to enhance membership value through innovative features is our essential goal!
