The digital care-continuity layer for the Next Health experience.
Alnu Health provides a configurable Patient-Facing Companion and Clinician Portal that extends personalized care beyond the clinic. For Next Health, the platform would be built around Medicine 4.0 and Weight Optimization workflows, Next Health education and guidance, and the needs of members, providers, and location teams.

Extend high-touch care between visits while building Next Health’s Intelligence Layer.
Extend Next Health’s team and methodology. Configure first for metabolic health and weight optimization, while designing the content and data model so peptides, hormone optimization, functional labs, IV therapy, wellness technology, and other services can be added later.
Extend personalized care between visits
Translate each member's plan into clear, ongoing actions and personalized guidance between quarterly labs, provider consultations, and in-location services.
Improve adherence and make progress visible
Help members consistently track nutrition, activity, weight, medication or peptide adherence, symptoms, side effects, and goals. Give providers a concise longitudinal view ahead of check-ins.
Strengthen membership engagement and retention
Create an always-available extension of the Next Health experience that reinforces the value of membership throughout the month, not only when a member is physically in a location.
Increase appropriate product & service utilization
Use Next Health-approved journeys, reminders, and education to help members understand and complete the services already included in their plans and provide personalized recommendations for incremental services.
Give the network a scalable operating layer
Standardize core member journeys while allowing location-aware configuration. Provide leadership with aggregate visibility into activation, engagement, adherence, service completion, and member-reported progress.
One connected experience. Two essential views.

Patient-Facing Companion
Real-time calorie and macro guidance aligned to clinic protocols.
- Meet members in the momentPhoto, voice, and text make daily tracking easier.
- Use approved Next Health guidanceContent and pathways are configured around Next Health, not generic advice.
- Keep the care team informedRelevant signals can flow into the Clinician Portal for review.
Care team experience
Clinician Portal
Patient-level insights and adherence trends for the care team.
- See who needs review firstMember-reported signals are prioritized so the right follow-up happens sooner.
- Follow up with contextEngagement, adherence, and symptoms are organized before each appointment.

Why start with Medicine 4.0 and Weight Optimization?
Next Health's Medicine 4.0 is a data-driven program incorporating quarterly biomarker and functional testing, one-on-one provider consultations, personalized wellness plans, and access to metabolic programs, peptides, and hormone optimization. Its Weight Optimization program combines personalized medical guidance, functional testing, medication when clinically appropriate, lifestyle support, and continued monitoring.
Built for between-visit action
Member success depends on sustained action and longitudinal visibility, not a single clinic encounter. That makes these programs especially well suited to a digital continuity layer.
A foundation for the broader network
Configure first for metabolic health and weight optimization, then extend to peptides, hormone optimization, functional labs, IV therapy, wellness technology, and other services without rebuilding the platform.
A practical four-phase path from scope to scale.
- Complete a focused clinic and program intake with Next Health leadership.
- Confirm participating locations, providers, team members, and member cohort.
- Map the current Medicine 4.0 and Weight Optimization member journeys.
- Review Next Health protocols, education, brand standards, escalation rules, and operating workflows.
- Align on success measures, stakeholder responsibilities, reporting cadence, and launch timing.
- Define the initial boundary between general member guidance, provider-directed recommendations, and escalation.
Phase outputConfirmed pilot scope, cohort, success measures, and configuration decision gate
- Configure the Next Health-branded Patient-Facing Companion and Clinician Portal.
- Incorporate approved Medicine 4.0 and Weight Optimization education, workflows, FAQs, and care guidance.
- Configure member journeys for onboarding, goal setting, nutrition and activity, medication or peptide adherence, side-effect monitoring, lab preparation, and visit preparation.
- Align provider dashboards, summaries, roles, alerts, and reporting with Next Health workflows.
- Prepare representative test members and run workflow reviews with clinical and operating leaders.
- Train clinic champions, providers, and supporting staff.
- Complete go-live readiness review and approval.

- Recruit and onboard participating members.
- Distribute access to the Patient-Facing Companion and Clinician Portal.
- Monitor activation, weekly engagement, logging, adherence, reported barriers, escalations, and service completion.
- Hold weekly launch reviews during the first month and biweekly reviews thereafter.
- Capture member, provider, and location-team feedback throughout the pilot.
- Iterate workflows, content, summaries, and engagement journeys within the agreed scope.
Phase outputPilot performance, workflow learnings, feedback, and recommended actions
- Review pilot performance against the agreed success measures.
- Quantify member engagement, provider value, operational impact, retention signals, and service-utilization changes.
- Identify the highest-value workflows and required refinements.
- Agree on a phased rollout to additional operating locations.
- Extend the platform to additional Next Health programs and services using the scalable content and workflow model.
- Establish network reporting, governance, training, and ongoing optimization cadence.
Phase outputDocumented expansion decision and phased rollout roadmap
A partner built to configure quickly, operate responsibly, and scale with Next Health.
Alnu brings multi-location operating experience, clinically grounded product development, healthcare AI implementation, and direct executive ownership of the partnership, positioned as an extension of Next Health’s team and methodology, not a replacement for providers or in-location care.
