VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Vice Health and Wellness Inc. ("Vice" or the "Company") (CSE: VICE) (FSE: Z24) (OTC: VICFF) is thrilled to announce a substantial progress update on its newly formed, 100% owned and proprietary, Vice Versa AI (initial news release August 17, 2023). This purpose-built app is poised to redefine weight loss and addiction management.

The Company anticipates its core features such as nutrition tracking, exercise monitoring, intelligent notifications, and advanced AI algorithms, will enrich users' approach to health. The Company continues to plan and build—out user-friendly interface, seamless integration with Android and iOS platforms, and an AI-driven recommendation system that forms the heart of the application.
