b.well Connected Health platform's integrated AI capabilities have produced the world's first Large Health Model (LHM) with the most comprehensive and clean health data insights, adaptive intelligence, and continuous learning from millions of healthcare consumers.
Built on the company's unified FHIR-based data infrastructure, the breakthrough Big Data Platform enables health organizations to aggregate and standardize healthcare data, enrich it with care gaps and insights, easily leverage AI with a focus on safety, and surface meaningful, personalized insights and next-best actions for healthcare consumers. b.well platform combines the patient data within the health system with patient data outside the health system to create the first truly longitudinal and comprehensive health record for each patient.
b.well's LHM seamlessly integrates all this intelligent health data into existing digital experiences like mobile apps and websites without requiring patients to download another app. Utilizing FHIR R4 data mapping, health data is mapped and transformed into a scalable infrastructure that enables unprecedented interoperability.
"We've developed an AI system that can work with existing healthcare infrastructure without needing costly upgrades, and can break down the barriers that typically prevent different technologies from working together. Our vision is about enabling patients and their care providers to easily navigate the complexity of healthcare, to make good decisions to become healthier, and to reduce their out-of-pocket spend on healthcare," said Imran Qureshi, Chief Technology and AI Officer, b.well Connected Health. "Thank you to MedTech Breakthrough for this award that underscores our commitment to continue pushing the boundaries of AI-driven healthcare, ensuring that every individual can navigate their health journey with unprecedented clarity, intelligence, and support."
