US product launch to kick off at the Obesity Medicine Conference in Denver on April 25

NATICK, Mass.--()--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.”
