"By connecting Perplexity's powerful answer engine backed by citations, with b.well's trusted health data network, we can ensure those answers are grounded in a person's actual medical history, delivering guidance that is more relevant, more personalized, and more useful."
b.well operates one of the largest connected health data networks in the United States, providing secure, consumer-controlled access to health data across more than 2.4 million providers and over 350 health plans, laboratories, and additional healthcare entities.
