Perplexity AI and b.well Partner to Deliver Personalized Health Insights via AI

Details

On March 19, 2026, Perplexity AI announced a partnership with b.well Connected Health. Through this collaboration, users can securely connect their medical records to Perplexity's AI search capabilities, enabling them to receive insights based on their unique health profile rather than general online information. The core of the platform, 'Perplexity Health,' utilizes b.well’s nationwide FHIR-based interoperability network. This extensive network covers over 350 health plans and 2.4 million providers, integrating data from Apple Health and wearables like Fitbit and Withings. This unifies fragmented health data to enable more accurate and context-aware recommendations. Privacy is paramount: users must explicitly authorize access to their medical records and can revoke this access at any time, adopting a consumer-controlled model. The partnership leverages b.well's extensive FHIR-based network and uses a structured 13-step Data Refinery to standardize and clean data, ensuring the AI processes information safely and effectively. This integration allows the AI to generate personalized responses based on individual health profiles. The collaboration exemplifies the revolution in personalized healthcare by merging advanced AI search with clinical data. The emphasis remains on user control and compliance with stringent health data standards.
