Amwell announced that it has partnered with Amplar Health to expand access to hybrid and digital care programs across Australia. Amplar Health partnered with Amwell to support delivery of its prevention programs to reach more Australians at risk of chronic disease. The Amwell Automated Care platform will provide Amplar Health customers with access to a digital companion that can guide them through the next steps on their care journeys, whether automated or escalated to a health coach or care team member.

This hybrid approach will ensure Australians have the tools to set personal health goals and make sustainable lifestyle changes that can contribute to healthier outcomes. Amplar Health is part of the Medibank group, Australia?s largest private health insurance provider, with more than four million customers. Medibank customers will be the first to benefit from the Amplar Health and Amwell partnership, gaining access to a lifestyle management program that will launch soon.

After a health check by an Amplar Health registered nurse, eligible customers will receive a referral to the automated preventative care program, which will promote wellness and aim to prevent chronic diseases. Amplar Health will also be an Australian reseller of Amwell Automated Care and the SilverCloud® by Amwell® platforms and embed the technology in its prevention programs and services.
