b.well Connected Health, a health management platform based in Baltimore, announced a partnership with Google to help individuals securely consolidate their health data and control how it is shared.
b.well combines patients’ health records, financial information, and wearable and other healthcare data through a FHIR-enabled platform designed to deliver interoperability and personalized care at scale. The collaboration aims to allow users to safely aggregate health information, manage sharing preferences, and unlock the benefits of connected health data.
“AI and personalization only work when you have the full picture, and the scale of b.well's platform enables that,” said Kristen Valdes, founder and CEO of b.well Connected Health. “Consumers expect experiences to happen in real time and in the right context. With that foundation, users can ask Google to apply its consumer expertise to health and deliver truly seamless, personalized solutions designed to help people live longer, healthier lives.”
In 2024, b.well closed a $40 million Series C funding round led by Leavitt Equity Partners to strengthen partnerships with organizations that embrace an ecosystem approach to digital health. Valdes has previously emphasized how the CMS Interoperability Framework aligns with the company’s long-term vision of integrated, patient-centric care.
For Google, the collaboration extends a series of health technology advancements. In August, the company introduced the Pixel Watch 4 featuring a new AI-enabled Health Coach powered by Gemini, acting as a sleep coach, fitness trainer, and health advisor. Google also launched SensorLM, a foundation model trained on 59.7 million hours of multimodal sensor data, and MedGemma, an open model suite for healthcare developers designed to analyze medical images, generate reports, and answer image-based clinical questions.
The partnership between Google and b.well underscores the industry’s shift toward connected, privacy-first data ecosystems that empower individuals to manage and personalize their health journeys more effectively.
