Nestle/Amwell Partnership Matches Amwell’s Automated Care Solutions with Nestle Nutrition Expertise
Nestlé Health Science, a global leader in the field of nutrition, has joined forces with Amwell®, provider of hybrid healthcare care solutions utilizing teleheath, to offer new innovative digital nutrition-focused solutions. The collaboration aims to empower healthcare organizations to enhance clinical and financial outcomes through new digital tools focused on patient nutrition.
The inaugural offering, available in the United States, is the Advanced Surgical Nutrition Automated Care Program. This new, evidence-based solution marries Amwell’s automated virtual companion technology with Nestlé Health Science’s Impact ADVANCED RECOVERY® drink. The program is designed to support patients recuperating from major elective surgeries by providing them with the Impact ADVANCED RECOVERY® drink and engaging them in a digital program that delivers essential education and consumption guidance. The program continuously monitors patient progress and adherence, promptly alerting healthcare professionals to intervene when necessary.
Amwell’s automated care programs have shown the ability to have a significant impact on patient compliance. 95% of consumers say the programs help them manage their medical condition and studies have shown an 89% reduction in premature treatment termination.
IMPACT® immunonutrition formulas have significant peer-reviewed evidence demonstrating their effectiveness in improving outcomes for surgical and trauma patients following surgery and reducing complications. More than 40 randomized control trials, 12 real-world evidence studies, 11 meta-analyses, and 10 health economic analyses have supported the benefits of using IMPACT® formulas across a wide range of major surgical procedures.
Murray Brozinsky, Chief Strategy Officer at Amwell, expressed the significance of this collaboration, stating, “This is the first of several initiatives we’re collaborating on to empower healthier lives through nutrition. The unique partnership combines Amwell’s proven ability to automate patient journeys with Nestle’s expertise in nutrition sciences and digital nutrition services. Bringing together Amwell’s empathetic, clinically intelligent, data-driven virtual companions and Nestlé Health Science’s nutritional drink, content, and services will better prepare patients for surgery with the goal of improving outcomes while reducing hospital stays, the risk of post-surgical complications, and cost.”
