Wellness in the Midwest

As Product Manager at Healthcheck360, I have been tasked with creating a vision of the future for our team. My goal has been to design a platform that avoids the typical feature-bloat of a corporate wellness program, and provide users with valuable experiences that help them improve their whole health.

The
Challenge

Corporate wellness has developed hugely over the past decade. Really beginning with sick pay and private medical insurance, it was all extremely reactive, only kicking in when an employee was at crisis point and in need of intervention. 

 

Over the last 5 years, Healthcheck360 have seen a huge shift into the world of wellbeing at work, meaning a preventative program supporting people to be more resilient, with the goal of stopping employees reaching a crisis point in the first place. With this shift in site, the decision was made to reinvent the Healthcheck360 wellness program to focus on whole health and daily meaningful engagements supported in full by an online and mobile user experience.

Needs

Help me, don't force me

Employees believe wellness programs shouldn’t force people to take action. It is the job of the program to convince the user of their health needs, then make it simple and effective to execute.

I need assistance

Employees say they just want someone to talk too, often abut one specific subject. Personal connection is an important piece of facing your challenges.

Integrate

Employees don’t want another app to track activity. They want to use their apps, and it’s on us to pull that data to our platform via integrations.

Small improvements

Improving health can be nerve-wrecking to some employees. A simple but effective program was the main request.

The Vision

The project goals and research provided a foundation to move into feature ideation and prioritization. 

 

Wellness Rewards Program

Using activities and rewards to incentivize users to get active.

Our customization is what makes us unique and competitive in the industry. But, with a small team we also need to be cognizant of how we manage a custom architecture. We can do this through a structured program, with pre-set options of customization. 

Points not only have to be programmatic, but we need to allow customization by each client. Clients will want certain activities to be worth more points than other clients will, and we need to account for that. 

To be programmatic, we need to work backwards from the end. We need to decide what a 12-month program looks like – how many points need to be earned within 12 months to make a difficult but attainable program. 

If a client wants a 5-month program, we have a recommended points goal for that timeframe based on the points for each activity we recommend. (Essentially 5/12ths of the goal determined for 12 months)

Each client will start with a full program, all pre-programmed activities turned on and points associated. Clients can turn activities off/on, change how many points for each activity, and set start and end dates. 

 

Biometric Wellness Score

Provide each user with an in-depth look at their health

The first step in each user’s program is to complete a biometric screening. This screening provides over 30 specific readings of detailed health information. After their screening, each user can access this information in an easy-to-read format on desktop and mobile. Doctors will love you for this year-over-year information. 

 

Based on a user’s health metrics, they will be assigned a Wellness Score. This score ranges from 0-100, and each measurement in the screening can earn a participant a range of points attributed to their score. 

 

If we detect any critical values – i.e. any concerning readings like high blood pressure – our team is notified, and a certified Health Coach will reach out to the user to provide information, support, and direction. 

Wellness Challenges

Earn points and join friends in a healthy challenge

Wellness challenges are a great way to get participants up and active. There is no better way to get healthy than to enjoy the moment with encouragement from friends. 

 

Our wellness challenges focus on engagement and connection. We engage users with unique challenges that connect into the rewards system, encouraging users to continue their participation with rewards throughout the challenge. We make every effort to help users connect and encourage each other. Each challenge has an open community forum to post updates, feelings, and questions. 

 

More information about specific challenge types upon request. 

Digital Health Coaching

Don't go it alone

At Healthcheck360, we’ve have over 10 years of Health Coaching experience. We know the best ways to help users lose weight, improve their nutrition, manage their diabetes, quit smoking, and more. 

 

We know change is hard, and that’s why our programs focus on making small changes that will make a big impact on a user’s health. Each program starts with an introductory survey, and then a conversation via phone with a Health Coach. Based on that conversation, the user and the Coach determine what the commitments/habit changes will be for the next few weeks. 

 

The Coach will schedule check-ins, via either phone and chat, to see how things are going. The user can reach out to a Health Coach at any time. 

 

Users can log and track their progress via web or the mobile app, and at the end of each week they are sent a Weekly Roundup, discussing progress and trends.

Integrations

You do the work, we'll show you how it's going

We can’t fool ourselves into believing users will log each and every health metric and activity in our system everyday. People already have the apps they love, and instead of trying to get them to switch, we need to position ourselves as the Hub of Health information related to the company’s program. 

 

That’s why we integrate with hundreds of medical devices and mobile apps. We simply let the users continue to use the apps they want, and we can read the information and reward them for their activity.
