Verily Launches AI-Powered Chronic Care Solution, Lightpath

What You Should Know: 

– Verily, Alphabet’s precision health subsidiary, today announced Lightpath, a next-generation chronic care solution designed to address the evolving needs of health plans and their members. 

– The initial offering, Lightpath Metabolic, focuses on empowering individuals with cardiometabolic conditions to achieve and maintain their health goals. Open enrollment is targeted for early 2026.

Building on Success with Onduo

Lightpath Metabolic leverages the clinical, data science, and user experience expertise that has driven the success of Verily’s existing solution, Onduo. However, Lightpath offers a more comprehensive and adaptable approach.

Addressing the Growing Challenge of Chronic Disease

Cardiometabolic conditions are a major concern for health plans and their members, impacting quality of life, productivity, and healthcare costs. Lightpath aims to address these challenges by providing personalized care plans that empower individuals to proactively manage their health, ultimately improving health outcomes while reducing healthcare costs.

Modular Programs for Individualized Care

Lightpath Metabolic delivers a suite of modular programs, allowing for a flexible care plan tailored to each member’s specific needs. The program options include:

  • Metabolic Intensive: Designed for individuals managing type 1 or 2 diabetes, hypertension, comorbid obesity, and/or hyperlipidemia.
  • Weight Loss Intensive: A clinically-guided program featuring the use of approved anti-obesity medications.
  • Metabolic Improvement: Focuses on diabetes prevention, hypertension management, and well-controlled metabolic conditions.
  • Metabolic Achievement: Provides long-term monitoring and support for members who have successfully achieved their health goals.

Lightpath is built upon Verily’s robust precision health platform. This platform integrates data from a variety of sources, including health records, connected devices, and other healthcare interactions. By analyzing this data, Lightpath delivers personalized care plans, recommendations, and motivational nudges to keep members engaged.

A Human Touch Combined with Advanced Technology

The program pairs cutting-edge technology with a team of highly qualified healthcare professionals, including endocrinologists, pharmacists, primary care physicians, nurses, and registered dietitians. Members can access care through telemedicine visits and benefit from medication review and optimization, as clinically indicated.

Leveraging AI for Enhanced Support

Lightpath incorporates recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) to support both members and clinicians. Members will have access to an AI assistant that personalizes their care plan, monitors behavior patterns, and promotes continued engagement. Clinical staff will benefit from an AI-powered assistant designed to streamline workflows.

Building on a Strong Foundation

Since 2015, Onduo has provided personalized virtual care management to individuals living with diabetes and other chronic conditions. A peer-reviewed study demonstrated significant improvements in glycemic control and other health markers for type 2 diabetes patients using Onduo’s chronic care model. Verily plans to offer Onduo users the option to migrate to Lightpath Metabolic in late 2025.

“Lightpath demonstrates our commitment to supporting people living with chronic conditions, as the care landscapes quickly evolve,” said Myoung Cha, Chief Product Officer at Verily. “By applying today’s latest technology, combined with clinical expertise and a great user experience, we aim to help members achieve their goals and live healthier lives.”
