b.well Launches White-Label Health AI Assistant
b.well Connected Health has unveiled bailey™, a ready-to-deploy, white-label AI health assistant for healthcare organizations. The product allows providers and payers to integrate a branded AI assistant into their existing applications, powered by b.well's underlying patient data platform.
- The AI assistant is named bailey™ after the daughter of b.well's founder and CEO, Kristen Valdes. Valdes' personal seven-year struggle to get a proper autoimmune diagnosis for her daughter, Bailey, was the inspiration for starting the company. - This launch follows the December 2025 release of b.well's Health AI SDK (Software Development Kit), which provides the underlying infrastructure for companies to build their own AI assistants. The SDK is built on a FHIR-based platform and features a proprietary 13-step "Data Refinery" to clean, standardize, and structure fragmented health data for AI applications. - The underlying platform connects data from over 2.2 million providers and more than 300 health plans. This extensive connectivity is designed to create a complete, longitudinal health record for each user. - B.well has raised a total of $164 million in funding and is backed by investors including Leavitt Equity Partners, Samsung, and affiliates of Walgreens and UnityPoint Health. - The company has established partnerships with major players in the healthcare and tech industries, including Google, Samsung, and athenahealth, to enhance data sharing and personalized care. - Recently, b.well has expanded its focus to the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries through a partnership with the nonprofit research institute RTI International, aiming to use real-world data to improve patient outcomes. - Prior to founding b.well in 2015, CEO Kristen Valdes was an executive at UnitedHealthcare and was involved in the early development of Medicare Advantage plans for the chronically ill at XLHealth. - Competitors for b.well in the broader digital health and patient engagement space include Weave, Carepatron, and large technology companies like Apple and Google with their own health platforms.
