hc1 and Simple HealthKit have announced a strategic partnership focused on helping healthcare organizations more effectively identify and close gaps in care through an integrated, end-to-end workflow. The collaboration brings together hc1’s Clinical IQ™ platform with Simple HealthKit’s patient engagement and screening infrastructure to create a closed-loop system that connects data insights with clinical action.
At the core of the partnership is hc1 Clinical IQ, an AI-powered platform embedded within provider and payer workflows that continuously analyzes lab and clinical data. The system identifies actionable care opportunities across programs such as HEDIS, STAR ratings, chronic care management, and risk adjustment. Once a care gap is detected, Simple HealthKit activates the next phase by engaging patients through targeted outreach, coordinating at-home or in-clinic screenings, and ensuring follow-up.
The combined solution is designed to address a longstanding challenge in healthcare: the disconnect between identifying care gaps and successfully resolving them. By integrating intelligence, engagement, diagnostics, and results delivery into a unified workflow, the partnership aims to streamline care delivery and improve both clinical and financial outcomes.
“Healthcare organizations do not need more data. They need a way to translate intelligence into measurable outcomes,” said Bradley Bostic, CEO of hc1. “Clinical IQ is the agentic engine inside provider and payer workflows, identifying who needs intervention and when. Simple HealthKit helps turn that intelligence into action by engaging patients, facilitating screening, and connecting results back to the care team.”
Simple HealthKit’s platform contributes capabilities including behavioral science-driven engagement, screening logistics, and continuity of care. The system is designed to reach patients through appropriate channels and guide them through testing and follow-up, with results routed back into provider workflows.
“Simple HealthKit was built to make quality care accessible for everyone. By combining behavioral science, intelligent patient engagement, and seamless continuity of care, we engage the right patient at the right time, so no one is left behind,” said Dr. Sheena Menezes, CEO of Simple HealthKit. “With hc1, we can better identify who needs intervention and when. Together, we are creating a closed-loop model that helps healthcare organizations move from fragmented outreach to timely, targeted gap closure.”
The partnership also introduces a unified contracting and delivery model, enabling organizations to access care gap analytics, engagement tools, screening services, and lab processing through a single solution. It reflects broader industry efforts to support proactive, data-driven, and home-centered care models within value-based healthcare.
