Virtual Care Suite (VCS) is now available to
license in the United States for providers offering GLP-1 and other
anti-obesity medication therapy, bariatric surgery, and weight loss
devices
US product launch to kick off at the Obesity
Medicine Conference in Denver on April 25
Allurion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ALUR), a company dedicated to
ending obesity, today announced the commercial availability of its
comprehensive Virtual Care Suite (VCS) in the United States.
Already in use by thousands of providers in over 50 countries,
the VCS is a dynamic weight-loss management suite powered by
artificial intelligence (AI) featuring remote patient monitoring,
telehealth and care team collaboration all under the one digital
umbrella, designed to maximize patient outcomes and satisfaction.
In 2023, Allurion added Coach Iris, a 24/7 AI-powered weight loss
coach, to the VCS, enabling automated, conversational coaching and
a more personalized behavior change program tailored to patient
needs.
“After witnessing the profound impact our technology has had
globally, we are thrilled to launch the VCS in the United States.
Our team is incredibly excited to provide US clinics with digital
solutions to help them significantly bolster both clinical outcomes
and patient experience for all weight-loss treatments, including
anti-obesity medications and bariatric surgery, especially as GLP-1
usage surges,” said Brian Conyer, Vice President of Digital Health.
“Our research indicates that the VCS has already enhanced patient
results, engagement, and satisfaction. Clinics with the highest VCS
usage achieve an additional 11% weight loss1, with 16% more
patients reaching their goals1, and a 17% increase in Net Promoter
Score (NPS)2.”
The VCS will be presented for the first time in the United
States at the Obesity Medicine Conference in Denver on April 25,
where providers will have the opportunity to request 1:1 meetings
to discover the solution. As part of the launch, Allurion will also
be unveiling a new version of Allurion Insights, the web-based
dashboard that providers use to navigate the VCS.
The new version of Allurion Insights includes:
- Responsive, mobile app-like design: for providers and care
teams on the move who want to stay in sync with their patients on
their mobile phones
- More efficient navigation: thoughtfully organized by user
activities, the updated navigation experience is designed to create
more seamless access to a number of different data streams for
individual patients
- Multitasking: for busy providers, multitasking allows them to
document a clinical note or launch a video consultation while
seamlessly viewing other patient information
“As use of anti-obesity medication in the United States
increases, providers are being challenged to offer close follow-up
and lifestyle modification coaching at scale,” said Shantanu Gaur,
Founder and CEO. “We are thrilled to make the VCS available in the
US and believe it could become an integral part of practices
offering weight loss therapy of any kind.”
