Google and b.well Connected Health have entered a strategic collaboration to help individuals securely aggregate their health data from providers, payers and wearables enabling large-scale AI-driven personalization of health experiences.
Glimpse:
Under the partnership, b.well’s FHIR-based data platform with connectivity across 2.2 million providers and 300+ health plans will provide Google with a rich foundation of longitudinal health information. This sets the stage for seamless, consumer-centric health experiences powered by Google’s consumer tech and AI capabilities.
Google and b.well Connected Health have announced a collaboration aimed at transforming how individuals access, manage, and share their health data ushering in a new era of personalized, data-driven wellness. b.well’s extensive infrastructure connects more than 2.2 million providers and over 300 health plans, and its proprietary “Data Refinery” standardises and enriches consumer-mediated health data. Google will partner with b.well to enable people to bring their health records together in a unified, secure platform, control sharing preferences, and unlock personalized, AI-powered insights and health-care pathways.
According to b.well’s CEO, Kristen Valdes, “AI and personalization only work when you have the full picture, and the scale of b.well’s platform enables that.” Google’s GM of Health & Home, Rishi Chandra, added that the collaboration will support Google’s evolving health ecosystem, including expanding Fitbit’s capabilities and other consumer health services
The partnership comes amid broader efforts in healthcare to shift from fragmented, siloed data and episodic care towards continuous, personalized care experiences that reflect individuals’ full health journeys. By integrating payers, providers, labs, devices and wearables, the combined Google–b.well platform aims to deliver contextual health interventions, proactive guidance and smoother transitions between wellness and clinical care. However, achieving this vision will hinge on data privacy, consent, interoperability standards such as FHIR®, robust identity and security frameworks, and meaningful integration with care delivery systems.
“AI is only as good as the data that powers it. The quality and completeness of that data determine whether health insights are trustworthy and useful.”
