Recognition by TIME and Statista highlights b.well among 500 health technology companies worldwide
BALTIMORE, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — b.well Connected Health, the infrastructure powering AI-driven consumer health experiences, today announced it has been named to TIME’s World’s Top HealthTech Companies of 2026, developed in partnership with Statista.
Now in its second year, the World’s Top HealthTech Companies ranking recognizes 500 companies worldwide using technology to improve healthcare delivery, patient outcomes and engagement. Thousands of companies were evaluated across three dimensions: financial performance, reputation analysis, and online engagement.
“Healthcare is entering a new era where consumers expect their health information to move with them and work for them, wherever they choose to engage,” said Kristen Valdes, founder and CEO of b.well Connected Health. “Being recognized by TIME alongside health technology companies from around the world reinforces the importance of the infrastructure behind those experiences. Complete data is only the starting point. It has to turn into insights; those insights have to open the door to access, and all of it has to power AI that people can actually trust and act on.”
b.well powers AI-driven consumer experiences that close the loop from data to care: connecting people to their health records, surfacing personalized insights and routing them to clinical services. Its FHIR-based network spans more than 2.4 million providers, 350+ health plans, 350+ personal health devices, pharmacies and labs, unifying fragmented health information into clean, longitudinal records through consumer-authorized access. This ability to carry consumers from raw data through insights and into care, rather than stopping at data exchange, distinguishes b.well within the health technology landscape recognized by TIME and Statista this year.
The recognition comes during a period of significant momentum for b.well as healthcare organizations and technology companies increasingly look to connected health data as the foundation for AI-powered experiences. b.well’s infrastructure is being used to connect consumers with their health information across emerging AI and digital health experiences, including collaborations with OpenAI, Google Health, Samsung Health, Welldoc, Noom, and Perplexity.
b.well has also continued to expand its role in the national interoperability ecosystem. As a participant in the CMS Health Technology Ecosystem and a designated CMS Aligned Network, b.well now supports secure, standards-based health data exchange for more than 99 million lives (and growing), advancing a model in which consumers can access and share their health information without navigating disconnected portals or repeatedly entering the same information.
The recognition follows several recent milestones for b.well, including being named in the inaugural Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Healthcare Provider Industry Cloud Platforms and receiving a MedTech Breakthrough award for the third consecutive year.
