What Aduro BioTech does

Aduro (doing business as Aduro Life, legal entity Aduro, LLC) is a corporate wellness and human performance company headquartered in Redmond, Washington, that operates an integrated health platform for self-insured employers and their workforces. Its core platform, the Aduro Connect Platform, is built on the proprietary LEAP framework (Listen, Engage, Activate, Predict) and synthesizes clinical assessments, precision lab testing, continuous biometric sensors, wearable device data, and AI-driven personalization into a single member experience. The platform is supplemented by specialized modules: Connect Care for cardiometabolic conditions using continuous glucose monitors; Wellmetrics for biometric screenings and health risk assessments; Human Performance Coaching delivered by NBHWC-accredited board-certified coaches across 800+ digital coaching paths; and Mental Health and Resilience programs using clinical assessments such as PHQ-9, GAD-7, PSS, and a Flourishing Index. Aduro Intelligence, launched in 2025, is an Agentic AI layer that powers personalization, predictive population insights, and product capabilities such as Food as Medicine across the platform.

The company operates a B2B2C subscription model, selling annual quote-based contracts to self-insured employers who fund access for their employees. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is customized to organization size and module selection. Named enterprise customers include Mercy Health (32,000 employees across 8 regions), Bon Secours Mercy Health, Providence Health, and the Port of Seattle. Reported buyer-side outcomes include 2:1 ROI for the Connect Care program, 3:1 ROI for Mercy Health's Human Performance program, over $5M in reduced medical and prescription costs across clients, and engagement increases from 28% to nearly 90% at the Port of Seattle. The company is privately held; Abry Partners holds board observer status, indicating private equity backing. Leadership is anchored by founders Dr. Darren White (CEO) and Dr. Toni Best (Chief Health and Human Performance Officer), supported by executives covering product, technology, data/AI, security, growth, and operations. In September 2023, Aduro announced an agreement to acquire Trusana, a virtual mental health service, and in 2025 it formed strategic partnerships with Bon Secours Mercy Health and Providence Health to extend into direct-to-provider and consumer channels for chronic-condition care.
