knownwell acquires Alfie Health to enhance metabolic health offerings [Video]

Andreessen Horowitz-backed knownwell, a hybrid weight-inclusive primary and metabolic care provider, announced it acquired AI-enabled precision metabolic health management company Alfie Health to enhance its clinical decision support offerings. 

Boston-based knownwell touts itself as a weight-inclusive provider that offers primary care and metabolic health services in-person or virtually. The company has brick-and-mortar locations in Texas and New England and will open an office in Minnesota later this year.
