Prestigious International Annual Awards
Program Recognizes Standout Digital Health & Medical Technology
Products and Companies
BALTIMORE, May 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- b.well Connected Health, the company powering
platform-enabled healthcare ecosystems, today announced that
it has been selected as winner of the "Patient Engagement
Innovation Award" in the 8th annual MedTech Breakthrough
Awards program conducted by MedTech Breakthrough, an independent
market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies,
technologies and products in the global digital health and medical
technology market.
The b.well Connected Health platform is a Fast Healthcare
Interoperability Resource (FHIR)-based solution that connects
healthcare ecosystems – places where all health data, solutions and
services are unified around consumers and their families. The
company partners with healthcare organizations so they can build
their own ecosystems and deliver unprecedented convenience via
unified, on-demand consumer health experiences.
b.well's solution enables healthcare organizations to freely
exchange data with health systems, pharmacies, labs, payers, and
patients who have consented to share their information. This is
powered by b.well's 60,000 live, consumer-mediated data
connections, which include payer and provider application
programming interfaces (APIs), health information networks (HINs),
connected devices and wearables, labs, pharmacies, and more. By
leveraging this data, b.well unlocks personalization and business
value by alleviating administrative burden, reducing fragmentation,
and improving quality measures and risk adjustment.
With a white-labeled application and integration into existing
investments, b.well helps healthcare organizations
differentiate in the market while providing their consumers with
longitudinal health records; receive proactive, personalized health
insights; and conveniently shop and access care for themselves and
their families. For example, b.well recently partnered with Samsung
Health to give millions of people control over their health data,
access to next-best actions to manage their health, and a direct
connection to relevant in-person, digital, and virtual providers —
all through an app on Galaxy smartphones.
As a result, organizations like Samsung and those within its
ecosystem will be better able to respond to competitive,
regulatory, and financial pressures; connect with consumers in new
ways; and offer the connected healthcare experiences consumers and
their families deserve.
"We're on a mission to solve healthcare's fragmentation problem,
and we're committed to empowering individuals and
enhancing the overall healthcare experience by prioritizing
the importance of interoperability in patient care," said
Kristen Valdes, CEO and Founder of
b.well Connected Health. "The 'Patient Engagement Innovation Award'
from MedTech Breakthrough is an honor that validates our
determination to create a solution to power seamless personal, and
accessible, modernized consumer healthcare experiences that can
compete in the connected healthcare ecosystems of tomorrow."
The mission of the MedTech Breakthrough Awards is to honor
excellence and recognize the innovation, hard work and success in a
range of health and medical technology categories, including
Telehealth, Clinical Administration, Patient Engagement, Electronic
Health Records (EHR), Virtual Care, Medical Devices, Medical Data
& Privacy, and many more. This year's program attracted
thousands of nominations from over 18 different countries.
"b.well is helping consumers who are in need of navigation and
personalization through our complex and fragmented healthcare
system," said Steve Johansson,
managing director, MedTech Breakthrough. "Along with labor
shortages and razor-thin margins, healthcare organizations face
pressures from every angle without the right tech to facilitate
consumer empowerment. b.well delivers on this need, providing a
breath of fresh air in an industry stale with point solutions and
siloed platforms. By providing the dynamic connectivity necessary
to navigate the challenges of the healthcare system, b.well is
delivering positive experiences for consumers and improved health
outcomes."
