Allurion's Virtual Care Suite Digital Platform Accelerates Commercial Expansion With New Strategic Partnerships

Company inks deals with Lazeo and Transform, two of Europe’s largest aesthetic and weight loss groups

Allurion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:ALUR), a company dedicated to ending obesity, today announced further expansion of its Virtual Care Suite (VCS) digital platform with new commercial agreements signed with Lazeo, France's largest aesthetic and weight loss clinic chain, and Transform, UK's largest aesthetic and weight loss clinic chain.

After recently expanding its commercial agreement with Weight Doctors®—Germany’s leading group of private clinics and centers for weight loss—Allurion believes that the accelerated expansion of VCS through key partnerships underscores the growing number of opportunities for the digital platform since launching Coach Iris—Allurion’s 24/7 AI-powered weight loss coach—in October 2023.

The Allurion Virtual Care Suite is a comprehensive set of tools designed to power any weight loss practice: in an Allurion study, 87% of providers who use the VCS report increased patient accountability, 88% report increased efficiencies in their practice, and 82% report increased patient engagement. Clinics with the highest VCS usage rate achieve on average 11% additional weight loss, with over 16% additional patients reaching their goals. With the launch of Coach Iris, the VCS now provides 24/7 coaching and guidance to patients across multiple modalities of care, including anti-obesity medications, devices, and bariatric surgery.

In France, Lazeo successfully introduced the VCS to their Allurion Program patients and as part of Nutricare by Lazeo—a dietitian-supervised nutrition program spanning 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on the needs of the patient—to enhance patient engagement, streamline workflow and improve patient outcomes. Bernard Sillam, founder & CEO of Lazeo, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating: "Allurion's Virtual Care Suite has been a game-changer for Lazeo. The integration of VCS has enabled us to introduce innovative nutrition programs with and without the balloon, powered by VCS and Coach Iris, thereby providing our patients with a comprehensive and personalized weight loss journey. Making Allurion’s platform available to our patients is in line with our desire to offer them the latest, most cutting-edge innovations. It is also an opportunity for us to integrate generative artificial intelligence into the world of aesthetic medicine."

In the UK, Transform introduced VCS in order to elevate the experience for their Allurion Program and bariatric surgery patients, demonstrating a commitment to cutting-edge patient care.

Tony Veverka, CEO of Transform Healthcare, highlighted the significance of the collaboration, saying, "Transform is excited to launch the VCS in 2024 as an additional support to our Weight Loss+ programme. This partnership aligns perfectly with our goal of enhancing the experience for our Allurion Program and surgical patients. Making the weight loss journey less complex, easier, with an ever-increasing likelihood of a desired result is at the heart of what we do, and Coach Iris brings an added layer of “always-on” support and advice, ensuring our patients receive personalized care that meets the highest standards."

Coach Iris, Allurion's AI-powered weight loss coach, continues to evolve, offering increasingly comprehensive support across all treatment types. The latest update includes enhanced capabilities tailored for bariatric surgery patients, that the company believes will result in significantly improved responses and support for these patients.

Dr. Shantanu Gaur, Founder and CEO of Allurion, stated, "Our growing partnerships with industry leaders like Lazeo and Transform demonstrate the power and versatility of the Virtual Care Suite. As we continue to improve Coach Iris, we are confident in our ability to scale our VCS business while providing unmatched support to patients and empowering healthcare providers on the frontlines of obesity care."
