Key Players
Details
The partnership enables b.well to allow users to securely pull their comprehensive, longitudinal health history (FHIR standard compliant) onto their local device via the Samsung Health app. This mechanism supports the goal of 'Kill the Clipboard,' spearheaded by CMS, ensuring that medical information moves seamlessly from the patient to the hospital. Data sharing is secured using a digital IAL2 credential issued through CLEAR for identity verification, mitigating risks like fraud and mismatched records. Furthermore, b.well integrates its conversational AI assistant, bailey™. This provides value beyond mere data access. The AI analyzes FHIR data bundles containing complex medical jargon and translates them into plain language, allowing patients to ask natural-language questions about their diagnoses. This enhances patient comprehension and engagement in care. The solution's key strength is its reliance on national FHIR standards rather than proprietary hospital portals. This eliminates the need for manual data entry or managing multiple passwords, enabling secure, direct transfer of data from the patient's device into the provider’s EHR.
