Extend therapy support beyond the clinic — with structured real-world signals.

Alnu helps pharma teams strengthen adherence, extend between-visit support, and generate structured longitudinal data across metabolic and obesity care pathways — without replacing clinical decision-making.

01

Improve health outcomes, your way.

Customize the coaching layer to Amgen clinical protocols, demonstrate improved patient results with always-on support, and understand what is impacting patients most on their journey.

02

Strengthen adherence & persistence.

Drive higher adherence and reduce therapy drop-off with 24/7 personalized support between visits, and surface early risk signals for timely intervention.

03

Generate real-world evidence at scale.

Capture structured nutrition, injection, symptom, and engagement data across a growing clinic network — longitudinal signals ready for Amgen's pharma practice.

04

Improve provider efficiency.

Use AI to triage common questions while escalating important concerns, so care teams spend check-ins building relationships rather than capturing data from scratch.

“It doesn’t really make sense if this isn’t foundational. It’s the right move for the company. I just think it gives so many advantages to the business and it fits so nicely with the other services we want to add in there as well.”

“I was questioning if you were behind the scenes reviewing all of my logs and generating the advice… Alnu is just like our 1:1 sessions at the Brigham.”

“The more I track, the more personalized the responses to my questions are. The app knew I had diarrhea the past 2 days so when I logged my meal it gave me tips on how I could adjust the recipe to help improve my side effects!”
