Turn existing clinical capacity into a continuous digital experience.

The opportunity is not to replace the care model. It is to make evidence-based support more present, personalized, and connected across the full patient journey—between visits, across sites, and at the scale of the health system.

01

Scale provider support.

Enable existing clinical teams to service more patients with structured between-visit support, without adding headcount or stretching visit capacity.

02

Minimize in-basket messages.

Reduce administrative burden and non-billable workflows by resolving routine patient questions in the companion and surfacing only what needs clinician review.

03

Improve between-visit visibility.

Give care teams a structured view of adherence, symptoms, and engagement so follow-up visits start with context instead of a blank slate.

04

Extend care your way.

Configure the experience around your education, clinical guidance, care pathways, escalation rules, workflows, roles, and reporting—empowering teams to scale personalized support while maintaining visibility.

One connected experience. Two essential views.

“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!”
