National Health Tech organization recruits HabitNu to contribute to the nationwide digital prevention initiative for diabetes and obesity within their ecosystem.
In a significant move towards modernizing healthcare delivery, digital health company HabitNu has been selected by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to join the National Health Tech Ecosystem. This initiative, aimed at unlocking the full potential of digital health, seeks to create a voluntary, standards-based ecosystem that facilitates secure, real-time, consented health data access at scale.
HabitNu's platform is designed to help close the gap in preventive care for chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension in Medicare and Medicaid populations. The company's mobile-first platform combines behavior tracking, personalized coaching, and culturally relevant content, offering patient-facing apps focused on diabetes and obesity.
As part of the National Health Tech Ecosystem, HabitNu will deliver personalized coaching and habit-forming nudges driven by both clinical and behavioral data. The company has committed to connecting to CMS-aligned networks using secure FHIR APIs and identity protocols. This commitment ensures HIPAA-compliant, consent-based data access and sharing.
To streamline the onboarding process for Medicare and Medicaid users, HabitNu will automate onboarding through data prefill from verified CMS records. Early outcomes from HabitNu will be shared in 2026.
The National Health Tech project aligns common digital infrastructure with private-sector innovation, centred on voluntary commitments rather than new regulations. It develops public digital infrastructure and data standards to foster interoperable healthcare data flows among patients, providers, payers, and technology platforms. This effort aims to improve patient outcomes, reduce provider burden, and drive value by tearing down data silos and enabling a connected, patient-centered system.
The initiative also promotes personalized tools empowering patients with the information needed to make better health decisions. By selecting HabitNu, CMS acknowledges companies contributing innovative technology solutions that align with these goals and the CMS Interoperability Framework, facilitating a smarter, more secure, and personalized healthcare experience through the National Health Tech Ecosystem.
