“AI is a powerful brain — but it’s only as good as the unique information it can access. Without deep, individual context, it’s just an engine in neutral. By building a robust data ecosystem, we move AI beyond episodic interactions and toward proactive, longitudinal engagement for every member.” At Business Group on Health’s annual conference, Well CTO Ozgun Ataman shared why data contextualization is becoming the true differentiator in healthcare AI. As more platforms become “AI-enabled,” the value is no longer in the LLM itself — it’s in the data ecosystem behind it. At Well, we’ve built that foundation from day one, integrating real-time member data to deliver evidence-based, context-aware support and proactive intervention — not just generic information. Thanks to BGH and fellow panelists Akin Oyalowo and Gijo Mathew for a great discussion on the future of the AI landscape. #BGH2026 #BusinessGroupOnHealth #AIinHealthcare #HealthAI #HealthcareInnovation #DigitalHealth #EmployeeHealth

How can AI be developed and applied in ways that truly serve the public good? That question took center stage this week at the The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s first-ever AI for Public Good Conference — bringing together leaders across healthcare, technology, and the public sector to to discuss how AI can best be scaled responsibly to deliver meaningful, real-world impact. Well was proud to sponsor this inaugural event and to have CTO Ozgun Ataman featured on a panel exploring the future of AI infrastructure. His perspective underscored a critical truth: innovation without strong data protection and privacy isn’t progress — it’s risk. As AI adoption accelerates, building responsibly isn’t optional. It’s foundational. Thank you UNC-Chapel Hill for hosting, and to the other panelists for such an insightful dialogue: Martha Wewer, JD, CIPP/U, Saba Eskandarian, and DJ Sampath. #healthtechnology #healthcareinnovation #HealthAI #AIinHealthcare #digitalhealth

AI is fundamentally reshaping how employees engage with their health. But for leaders, the real question is: Where does it help, and where might it hurt?

He’ll be joining Included Health Associate Medical Director Akin Oyalowo and Spring Health Chief Product Officer Gijo Mathew to explore: • The “Vetting Gap”: How to evaluate vendor AI use, clinical guardrails, and operational risks — and where the hype falls short • The Transparency Debate: When to disclose LLM use and the difference between “chatbots” and true AI integration. • The Cost Reality: How AI-native platforms drive hard-dollar savings through behavior change.

“Most companies already have sophisticated benefits ecosystems — strong strategies, great vendors, and robust data — yet outcomes still lag. The problem isn’t strategy; it’s an execution gap - between what your ecosystem was designed to do and actual utilization. That's because none of these components actually ensure that the right action happens for every person, every day. That's the missing piece: daily behavior execution” Well’s Chief Growth Officer Renya Spak, MPH and Senior Vice President of Growth Initiatives Jessie Donaho, ASA, MAAA recently represented Well at the World 50 Accelerator Employer Benefits Spring Roundtable and member reception, where they had a chance to share how Well is helping employers transform strategy into measurable health outcomes. Their message was simple: when engagement is daily, behavior change becomes durable. That's when you start to see clinical movement and hard dollar outcomes. Thanks to World 50 Accelerator and to everyone who attended! #employeehealth #healthengagement #employeebenefits #benefitsstrategy
