b.well is Production-Ready with CMS Aligned Network, Kill the Clipboard, and Conversational AI, and Pledges to Additional CMS Health Tech Ecosystem Categories
BALTIMORE, July 29, 2026 / — b.well Connected Health, the leading AI-powered digital health platform, has announced the successful launch of its CMS Aligned Network, demonstrating the viability and real-world functionality of seamless health data exchange delivering on its pledge and commitment to the CMS Healthcare Technology Ecosystem initiative. The network is currently live and active, and working with Froedtert ThedaCare, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Blue Button 3.0, Google, Samsung, Welldoc, Noom, and others.
This milestone marks a significant advancement in the healthcare industry’s commitment to patient access and data interoperability. b.well’s network enables patients to access their health information seamlessly across multiple organizations, removing traditional barriers such as portal login requirements and empowering individuals with greater control over their health data.
“The launch of our CMS Aligned Network represents a transformative moment for healthcare interoperability,” said Kristen Valdes, CEO and Founder of b.well. “b.well and our partners are delivering real-world solutions that connect patients, payers, and providers. Our partners’ commitment to this ecosystem demonstrates the industry’s shared vision for better data access and improved patient outcomes.”
Currently operational with leading healthcare organizations representing millions of consumers, the b.well network is expanding rapidly. In addition to the live partners, b.well is actively working with more healthcare and technology companies to bring them online in the coming months.
b.well is also delivering on its commitment to “kill the clipboard” and expand access to conversational AI, both key pledges under the CMS Healthcare Technology Ecosystem initiative. b.well offers Share My Record, which replaces repetitive intake paperwork with a single QR code linked to a SMART Health Link, giving patients an easy, secure way to share their USCDI v3 clinical data and a PDF health summary with any provider. b.well also features a conversational AI health assistant grounded in each patient’s complete, longitudinal health record. Consumers get help finding and scheduling care, managing medications, and navigating benefits, all through natural conversation.
The CMS Aligned Network prioritizes patient accessibility and transparency, leveraging CMS Blue Button 3.0 standards for secure, standardized data exchange. The network’s integration with CMS Blue Button 3.0 ensures that the platform meets the highest federal interoperability standards while expanding access to patients enrolled in Medicare and other coverage types.
“Empowering our patients to easily manage their health data advances our vision of transforming healthcare,” said Imran Andrabi, president and CEO of Froedtert ThedaCare. “Pledging to this initiative and collaborating to make it a reality ensures our patients receive more accurate, higher quality, safe care, while we enhance access and lower total cost of care.”
“This launch is a real-world example of the CMS ‘Kill the Clipboard’ vision in action. By combining b.well’s clinical data network with CLEAR-verified identity, now live in Samsung Health, consumers have a secure, portable way to carry their health history — and share it on their terms.” said Dr. Hon Pak, Senior Vice President and Head of Digital Health Team, Mobile Experience Business, Samsung Electronics. “Together, we’re closing the gap between what happens in the clinic and what’s happening every day in a person’s health.”
“Going live with b.well’s CMS Aligned Network, lets us scale digital-first cardiometabolic care to beneficiaries at no out-of-pocket cost,” said Kevin McRaith, President and CEO, Welldoc. “This is exactly the kind of connected, patient-first infrastructure the CMS Health Tech Ecosystem was designed to enable.”
“Through our work with b.well, Medicare members can now securely connect their clinical health records directly into Noom, so their diagnoses, medications, and lab results shape a truly personalized experience from day one,” said Aaron Severs, Chief Product Officer at Noom. “This is what patient-directed data access should look like: consent-based, actionable, and built around the individual.”
