Drive Health CEO Kevin Longoria said: “This partnership marks a major inflection point for Drive Health. Vitalis brings real operational depth, health-system experience, and the long-term vision needed to scale Avery responsibly.
“With their support, and through our continued work with Google, we are accelerating our ability to deliver safe, accessible, and compassionate AI support to healthcare facilities and patients nationwide.”
Avery is designed to assist care teams and nurses with high-volume communication, education, and coordination activities with patients and families.
The platform automates tasks such as secure-message triage, discharge orchestration, and follow-up outreach, all operating under rules defined by the hospital.
Avery is integrated directly into clinical workflows, enabling it to draft and deliver clinician-approved education, gather symptom and adherence data, and direct issues for review based on escalation criteria.
This applies to various care episodes, including chronic disease management, pregnancy, and post-discharge recovery.
In February 2025, Drive Health and Google Public Sector launched the AI-powered Nurse Avery to broaden access to care, improve outcomes, and help address professional shortages across the country.
