aivid Health, an Austin-based health-tech Value-Added Partner (VAP) focused on AI-enabled population-health management, has announced a new partnership with Healthnix, an Austin-based software company specializing in nutrition-related education and food-as-medicine solutions for multi-condition and chronic pain populations.

Through this collaboration, the two organizations are integrating nutrition education and behavioral-skills content into population-health pathways that aivid Health supports across Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and primary-care practices in Texas.

Led by Hector Torres, CEO of aivid Health, and Maja Mazur, CEO of Healthnix, this collaboration reflects both companies’ shared interest in addressing behavioral and lifestyle influences on chronic conditions through lifestyle change, data-driven nutrition, and structured educational support, aligning with the Make America Healthy Again agenda of this administration. The two companies aim to strengthen coordination between dietitians, clinicians, patients, and care teams thanks to embedding data-informed tools into existing workflows in population health initiatives.

aivid Health and Healthnix: A coordinated approach to nutrition and care management

aivid Health’s MagSync platform aggregates clinical, remote monitoring, and social determinants of health (SDOH) data to support analytics and care coordination across programs, including RPM, CCM, BHI, PCM, and RTM. Through the partnership, aivid Health will incorporate Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) into these workflows by integrating Healthnix’s software, which supports clinicians and dietitians in delivering nutrition-focused education and whole-person care planning.

Healthnix’s platform provides tools designed to help clinicians introduce personalized nutrition advice from registered dietitians, share educational materials, and track patient engagement. Its curriculum offers general information on nutrition, behavior-change strategies, and the gut-brain-pain connection that patients may find useful as part of their ongoing care plan. The platform’s features allow patients and care teams to observe patterns between dietary choices and reported symptoms, offering an additional layer of insight within broader care management programs.

For Healthnix, this partnership extends its capabilities beyond food-as-medicine and behavioral skills education into additional care-management modalities already supported by aivid Health. Mazur’s decision to align with aivid Health’s infrastructure will allow Healthnix to offer its tools to more clinics, positioning the company as part of a broader care-management ecosystem, a critical step in Healthnix’s growth and expansion in the US market following its NHS pilots in the UK.

Hector Torres, a longtime healthcare-technology leader in population health and a data-driven approach to social determinants of health, noted that the collaboration reinforces aivid Health’s focus on integrating human and digital touchpoints within care delivery. “This partnership supports our work in helping care teams deliver more coordinated interdisciplinary care, as well as educational resources to patients and families,” he said. “By aligning nutrition-related tools with population-health workflows, we’re expanding the support available to communities we serve.”

Mazur, a thought leader who frequently speaks at industry conferences about food-as-medicine programs and the role of AI in clinical nutrition workflows, led the defining of the MNT use case within aivid Health’s ecosystem and the potential value for FQHCs in incorporating nutrition advice and education pathways into their programs.

What the partnership enables

• Coordination between care-management programs (CCM, RPM, RTM) and nutrition/behavioral-skills education
• Integration of Healthnix’s nutrition-intelligence tools into aivid Health’s population-health workflows
• Additional support for value-based care models through educational and behavioral-skills resources
• Increased patient engagement through personalized digital learning and communication tools

“Holding both clinical and operational expertise, Maja and her team have developed an approach that makes nutrition-related information more accessible for patients and providers,” said Torres. “Integrating this into our platform will give clinics additional tools to support their care-management goals.”

Mazur added, “Partnering with aivid Health enables us to bring nutrition and behavioral-skills education into more clinics. It’s an opportunity to scale a patient-friendly model that fits naturally into primary-care workflows and support teams who are already doing this work.”

Karol Waluszewski, COO of Healthnix, who leads the operational launches and scaling of the Healthnix platform with their partners, emphasized the opportunity to expand across Texas: “We look forward to supporting clinics across the region and working with aivid Health to bring this model to more communities.”

A shared commitment to expanding whole-person care

The collaboration reflects the long-term vision shared by Torres, Mazur, and Waluszewski to embed nutrition-related education within chronic-care programs—an area increasingly recognized by healthcare organizations as an important component of patient support.

By combining aivid Health’s expertise in data aggregation and coordinated care with Healthnix’s nutrition-focused educational tools, the partnership aims to create a model that is operationally scalable and clinically integrated.

Patients may benefit through:

• Nutrition-education resources informed by lab data and health history
• Ongoing contact with dietitians and care teams
• Digital tools to support behavior-change efforts
• A curriculum with lessons on nutrition, behavioral skills, and stress-management techniques

Clinics may benefit through:

• Expanded reimbursable programs that include MNT
• Streamlined workflows between nutrition and clinical care teams
• Additional tools to support patient engagement and retention

The aivid Health perspective: Using data to support care teams

For Torres, this initiative continues aivid Health’s mission to support underserved populations through more connected care models. “Our role is to give clinicians and care teams tools that help them support patients more effectively,” he said. “Nutrition-related education is a natural extension of the whole-person approach we’ve been building.”

By incorporating MNT into its suite of supported programs—including RPM, CCM, APCM, TCM, PCM, BHI, CPM, RTM, and CoCM—aivid Health continues its work in connecting clinical, behavioral, and educational resources across the care continuum.

The Healthnix perspective: Making nutrition education practical and accessible

Mazur and Waluszewski built Healthnix on the belief that nutrition-related guidance should be practical, accessible, and relevant across income levels. Mazur, drawing on personal experiences with chronic pain and the role nutrition played in her own health journey and her expertise in product leadership, led the design of Healthnix’s 140-lesson curriculum by coordinating input from physicians and dietitians specializing in functional nutrition and pain-management psychology. The structure of the Healthnix platform and educational program is also informed by the research project led by Mazur and Dr Austen El-Osta from the Self-Care Academic Unit at Imperial College London, where the team investigated the barriers to using nutrition in self-care for osteoarthritis management. This work awaits peer review but has already provided valuable insights, driving product development and the wider discourse around food as medicine in self-care for pain-related chronic conditions. 

Healthnix works closely with clinics in Texas, California, and New York to integrate nutrition-education tools directly into provider workflows. “Seeing providers incorporate our tools into everyday care has been incredibly encouraging,” Waluszewski said. “This partnership with aivid Health helps bring that model into additional clinical settings.”

Together, aivid Health and Healthnix aim to make nutrition education a more routine part of chronic-care support—enhancing access regardless of income level or location.
