Amwell, Nestle Health Science team on digital solutions for patients’ health

Amwell (AMWL) announced a collaboration with Nestle (NSRGY) Health Science to help health organizations improve patients’ overall health through innovative digital solutions focused on nutrition. Together the companies are developing a portfolio of novel solutions to help improve clinical and financial outcomes. The first offering, available in the U.S., is the Advanced Surgical Nutrition Automated Care Program. This innovative, evidence-based solution combines Amwell’s automated virtual companion technology and Nestle Health Science’s Impact ADVANCED RECOVERY drink to support the healing process and enhance recovery for patients undergoing a major elective surgery. Enrolled patients receive the Impact ADVANCED RECOVERY drink and participate in a digital program that provides education and consumption guidance. The program evaluates the patient’s progress and adherence, prompting clinicians to intervene, when necessary. “This is the first of several initiatives we’re collaborating on to empower healthier lives through nutrition. The unique partnership combines Amwell’s proven ability to automate patient journeys with Nestle’s expertise in nutrition sciences and digital nutrition services,” said Murray Brozinsky, chief strategy officer, Amwell. “Bringing together Amwell’s empathetic, clinically intelligent, data-driven virtual companions and Nestle Health Science’s nutritional drink, content and services, will better prepare patients for surgery with the goal of improving outcomes while reducing hospital stays, risk of post-surgical complications and cost. It’s a great example of how technology plus nutrition can nourish those who need extra care.”
