CLEAR's biometric ID verification will be added to Welldoc's cardiometabolic care app, a move the companies say supports federal efforts to build a more connected health ecosystem.

According to healthcare leaders, 2025 was a pivotal year for AI and digital health, marked by technological progress, a shifting focus on its role in healthcare and practical use cases driving its adoption.

The company will use the funds to advance product innovation, strengthen clinical partnerships and accelerate its nationwide growth.

Alongside the acquisition, the two companies entered a multi-year partnership to cross-integrate their platforms, aiming to expand access to clinical trials.

The partnership will allow employers to purchase Noom directly through the healthcare navigation company beginning in the first quarter of 2026.

Angle Health raises $134 million, and Trial Library secures $10 million.

Charles N. Kahn III, president and CEO of the Federation of American Hospitals and cofounder of Future of Health, discusses inconsistent and diminishing federal data collection and the urgent need to rebuild trust in the public health sector.

The company said the acquisition allows it to begin delivering a comprehensive stepped care model that incorporates group therapy and peer support.

The company closed after failing to secure additional investment due to regulatory uncertainty and delayed action on extending the Acute Hospital Care at Home Waiver Program.
