Humana is teaming up with digital health company b.well Connected Health to make it easier for members to access their health data across multiple providers, health plans, pharmacies and digital health apps.
The partnership aligns with a broader push by the Trump administration to give patients easier access to their health information.
As part of the partnership with b.well, Humana will also be able to access its members’ data in real-time at the point of claims processing and securely respond to data requests from providers and other health plans, supporting care coordination and quality improvement, the insurer said in an April 9 press release.
B.well also announced partnerships with Welldoc, a digital cardiometabolic solution, and weight-loss app Noom.
Noom is tapping into b.well's health data network to launch a new feature that connects users' health records to its app. This new, optional integration is now available to Medicare beneficiaries and is designed to help further personalize the support Noom provides for weight loss, prediabetes and diabetes, the company said in a press release.
The new Health Record Connect feature allows Medicare members to securely verify their identity and, with their explicit consent, connect existing clinical health records with the Noom app. Noom then uses that data—including diagnoses, medications and lab results—to automatically personalize the member's experience, surfacing the most relevant programs, content, and tools for their specific health needs, Noom executives said.
If indicated by their medical history, Noom members get access to personalized features and content, including rotating daily articles tailored to a member’s clinical needs; mini-courses on diabetes prevention or management; a comprehensive GLP-1 companion experience for those prescribed a GLP-1; and blood glucose insights and tracking for those with, or at risk for, Type 2 diabetes, the company said.
"One of the biggest barriers to truly personalized healthcare is data silos — patient health records aren’t easily shared between providers, health systems, and digital platforms,” said Geoff Cook, CEO of Noom, in a statement. "With this integration, we're changing that. A Medicare member can now connect their health records to Noom in minutes."
Both Noom and Welldoc are partnering with CLEAR1, the secure identity platform from CLEAR, to enable secure, compliant identity verification to unlock medical record sharing.
Through the b.well integration, Welldoc users living with complex conditions such as diabetes and obesity can connect their health information to gain AI-powered, personalized insights and data-driven clinical decision support, the company said.
"Advancing AI-driven, personalized care begins with trusted, connected health data,” said Kevin McRaith, CEO and president of Welldoc, in a statement. “Our partnership with b.well connects us to a nationwide health data network, leveraging a network-of-networks approach to ensure the most complete, longitudinal record across the country. This allows us to activate our cardiometabolic solutions with data that is trusted, comprehensive, and available when patients and clinicians need it most.”
Humana, Welldoc and Noom announced the integration as part of their commitments to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS) Health Tech Ecosystem initiative rolled out last year.
B.well operates a health data network that spans connections to 2.4 million providers, 350 health plans, labs, wearables and other sources. The company uses a 13-step data refinery process, which normalizes, deduplicates and enriches fragmented data into a complete longitudinal health record.
Under the Trump administration, HHS is ramping up major federal interoperability initiatives on several fronts.
As part of this interoperability work, CMS unveiled in July a sweeping health tech initiative that aims to modernize Medicare and advance next-generation digital health for patients, including conversational artificial intelligence, digital IDs and easier ways to access health data.
Since July, more than 700 healthcare organizations have joined the Health Tech Ecosystem pledge, which is completely voluntary, said Amy Gleason, acting administrator, U.S. DOGE Service, and strategic advisor to the CMS, while speaking at the 2026 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Global Health Conference & Exhibition last month.
CMS set March 31 as a deadline for companies to demonstrate tangible results from their Health Tech Ecosystem pledges. The agency also set another deadline, July 4, for organizations to demonstrate more advanced functionalities and workflows, according to Gleason.
Health tech company HealthEx and b.well are powering the integrations behind interoperability initiatives rolled out rapidly over the past year.
“Healthcare is moving toward a future where patients can securely access their health records, understand their data, and share it instantly with the tools and providers they trust,” said Kristen Valdes, CEO and founder of b.well Connected Health. “Welldoc has long been a leader in cardiometabolic health tech, and we’re excited to support their platform by providing the connectivity and data infrastructure needed to power more personalized, AI-driven chronic care experiences.”
“Humana is focused on making healthcare simpler and more connected for our members,” said Caraline Coats, senior vice president of provider strategy and operations at Humana, in a statement. “We appreciate CMS’ leadership in advancing the Health Technology Ecosystem and creating a clear framework to support that goal. Through our work with b.well, we’re improving access to health information which, in turn, helps free up time and resources so providers can focus on delivering care.”
Humana and b.well plan to demonstrate how the integration benefits health plan members during an event today hosted by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that will showcase live, standards-based data in a federal interoperability demonstration setting.
