A digital health platform that stitches together fragmented medical records from nearly 2.4 million providers has won a major industry award for the third year in a row. b.well Connected Health received the “Best Patient Portal” honor at the 10th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards, which recognize the most innovative technologies in global digital health and medical devices.
The company’s platform solves a common frustration: patients often juggle multiple logins for different doctors, labs, pharmacies, and insurance portals, with no single view of their health. b.well Connected Health uses a proprietary 13-step data refinery that cleans, reconciles, and standardizes raw health information as it enters the system. The result is a unified, trustworthy health record that pulls data from more than 340 health plans, 15 state health information exchanges, laboratories, pharmacies, and wearable devices.
For patients, this means one place to see medical records, lab results, imaging, prescriptions, insurance benefits, and personalized recommendations. The platform translates complex data into plain language, so lab results include simple explanations. Medications are tracked visually, appointments can be scheduled in seconds, and reminders for refills or preventive care are delivered based on each patient’s preferred method. Embedded educational content is tied directly to the individual’s health record, providing context at the right moment in their care journey.
“We are honored to accept this award from MedTech Breakthrough for the third consecutive year,” said Kristen Valdes, founder and CEO of b.well Connected Health. “This is about making healthcare simple by reducing friction for patients. With our platform, healthcare organizations build meaningful, lasting relationships with the populations they serve.”
The award program, now in its 10th year, drew a record number of nominations from companies across more than 20 countries. Steve Johansson, managing director of MedTech Breakthrough, praised the platform for transforming patient engagement. “Doctor appointments still mean filling out paperwork, repeating medications from memory, logging into multiple portals, and waiting weeks for records,” he said. “b.well Connected Health represents the evolution of patient engagement from fragmented point solutions to a comprehensive, integrated platform that delivers measurable outcomes.”
The platform is already used by health plans, health systems, employers, and government programs, each customizing the experience to fit their brand and patient population. With its third consecutive industry award, b.well Connected Health signals a growing shift toward making healthcare less fragmented and more patient-friendly, one unified record at a time.
