Raven

Raven, women's telehealth in Canada

Raven is a Canadian-owned and operated telehealth clinic for women. Its model combines online medical assessment, treatment prescriptions, professional guidance, and ongoing follow-up, without the need to visit a physical location. Care is reviewed by Canadian-licensed physicians, and prescriptions are dispensed from an authorized pharmacy.

The platform presents itself as a complementary service, not a replacement for a family doctor: for complete physical exams, complex issues, or emergencies, the company states that patients should see an in-person provider. Telemedicine is legal in Canada, and the physicians providing care are licensed to prescribe and treat patients in their province of residence.

Treatment areas

Raven organizes its offerings into four main lines: weight management, hair growth, skincare, and lab testing. The catalog includes semaglutide and tirzepatide treatments, as well as topical and oral options for hair.

• Weight management: medically supervised GLP-1 plans, with follow-up and dose adjustments.
• Hair health: minoxidil capsules and topical 5% minoxidil gel.
• Skincare: tretinoin cream and anti-aging gel.
• Labs: blood work tracking over 50 vital markers.

The site also announces upcoming categories, such as menopause and birth control, and mentions areas related to metabolic health, PCOS, and menopause.

How care works

The process begins with a free online assessment. The patient completes a secure form about their medical history, and a Canadian-licensed provider reviews the information within 24 hours. If treatment is appropriate, the prescription is issued, prepared at the authorized pharmacy, and shipped discreetly and free of charge within two to three business days. Ongoing follow-up includes regular check-ins, reminders, and the option to adjust the dose or switch medications.

The company states that consultations and follow-ups take place through a secure doctor-patient relationship, and that provider messages are available in the Raven portal, with email reminders.

Lab testing

The lab service offers a panel of more than 50 biomarkers, from hormones and inflammation to biological age. Results are reviewed by a licensed provider and explained in plain language. The platform presents this information as a tool to turn blood work into useful health data.

Privacy and shipping

Raven states that it complies with Canadian health privacy laws and uses healthcare-grade encrypted systems. Medical records are stored securely in accordance with PHIPA requirements. Medications are shipped in discreet, unbranded packaging and require a signature on delivery.

Coverage and availability

The service is available in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. The company operates as a Canadian-owned and operated telehealth clinic.
