Revolutionizing Healthcare with AI: b.well’s Advanced Architecture Empowers Organizations
Most healthcare organizations lack the robust data infrastructure and resources needed to develop, deploy, and iterate AI solutions. According to Deloitte, only 1 in 4 healthcare organizations has a dedicated team to maintain and update AI models. b.well’s new AI architecture addresses this gap by enabling organizations to inject AI capabilities directly into their existing workflows, allowing them to configure the solution according to their specific needs.
“There are over 8 million non-physician healthcare workers and over 50 million family caregivers in the U.S., not to mention consumers themselves,” added Qureshi. “b.well’s approach to AI will make interactions more consumer friendly and automate many of the tasks healthcare workers, consumers and caregivers are spending precious time doing manually today, enabling organizations to drive efficiencies at scale.”
With b.well’s infrastructure, healthcare organizations can enhance their AI strategy to achieve several key objectives:
– Enhance Care Access: Natural language search capabilities allow consumers to use everyday language, such as “I have stomach pain” or “find a kidney doctor,” to locate and access in-network care.
– Summarize and Query Health Data: Large language models (LLMs) draw from an individual’s detailed, holistic health history—including medications, surgeries, and procedures—to deliver personalized and consumer-friendly explanations and next-best actions.
– Navigate to Lower Cost Options: A recommendations engine with geofencing capabilities proactively provides members with choices for lower-cost care modalities and generic alternatives, driving additional savings.
These AI capabilities are built on b.well’s unified data infrastructure, which aggregates and standardizes data from virtually any source into FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources). This data is enriched with insights from over 60,000 consumer-generated data connections, providing meaningful, personalized insights and next-best actions for end users.
The b.well Connected Health Platform also offers built-in controls and feedback methodologies to maintain security, privacy, and trust across every AI use case. The platform is HITRUST certified, demonstrating the highest level of information protection assurance, and includes IAL2-certified federated identity proofing and consent management to further enhance data integrity and trust. b.well’s longstanding commitment to privacy and security enables healthcare organizations to rapidly adopt AI, ensuring that models are safe, effective, and beneficial for consumers.
