American Well, a privately held Boston company that uses technology to bring health care services into the homes and workplaces of patients, plans to collaborate with Joslin Diabetes Center to make Joslin’s diabetes expertise more accessible to patients nationwide.

Joslin Diabetes Center is a teaching and research affiliate of Harvard Medical School.
