Behavior change begins with the FitLyfe 360 wellness platform

Do you want to create a culture of health, change lives, and create a healthier population?

The right wellness technology can help you accomplish your goals. And it’s easier now than ever.

Here’s why…

When behavioral psychology experts James Prochaska and Carlo Di Clemente developed the transtheoretical model of behavior change (American Journal of Preventive Medicine) more than 40 years ago, wellness was an emerging industry.

But besides a paper-based health assessment or biometric screening, most early corporate wellness programs didn’t have a lot to offer.

Engagement was hard. Participation was low. It required more time and money to administer. Reports were difficult to decipher without a medical background. And that made behavior change and efforts to promote healthy lifestyle habits a challenge for wellness program managers.

Sound familiar? If you’re struggling with challenges like these now, you’re not alone. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Three things happened that transformed the wellness industry, gave program participation a boost, and made it easier to promote health, prevent disease, increase engagement, boost productivity, and control healthcare costs…the Internet and mobile phones. And then came FitLyfe 360.

Connect with your population

Fitlyfe mobile screenshot

Wondering how to connect with your population? When you use the FitLyfe 360 platform, it’s easy to communicate with participants. And it’s easy for participants to tap into health information and get wellness program updates anytime, anywhere. Think about this:

  • An estimated 95 percent of all adults in the United States own a cell phone…most own smartphones, according to the Pew Research Center.
  • About 63 percent of all Internet traffic (2 trillion sessions a year in the U.S.) happens on a mobile device, according to the Harvard Business Review.
  • People search for information about heart disease, diabetes, depression, and high blood pressure about 3 million times a month, according to Google analytics. And that’s just a fraction of health information people are looking for.

Is your wellness platform web-based, mobile-friendly, and easy to navigate?

Your chances of reaching your population to promote healthy lifestyle habits is a lot higher when you use wellness technology  software like FitLyfe 360 to do things like:

  • Send an email or a text message with a reminder to exercise, drink more water, or improve sleep.
  • Update your portal page about an upcoming health challenge or wellness program event and push the information out to participants.
  • Provide access a library of interactive health challenges, health information, and resources about lifestyle change and disease management
  • Automatically reward activities and participation with wellness incentives
  • Make it easy for a participant to get biometric and health risk assessment to share with their doctor

When you meet people where they’re at and communicate with them in familiar ways (Internet, email, mobile devices) using FitLyfe 360, you’ll encourage people to move through the transtheoretical model of behavior change for better health, like this:

  • Precontemplation: “I’m just fine the way I am. I don’t really need to change my diet or exercise habits,” Then the participant gets an invitation to complete a health risk assessment.
  • Contemplation: “Maybe I should do something about my health in the next six months. That report says I’m at risk for a long list of chronic diseases and health problems.” A personal health assessment helps the participant identify risk factors and areas for improvement.
  • Preparation. “I need more information about how to improve my diet, be more active, and make healthier lifestyle choices. I’m going to do something about this in the next 30 days. I’m ready.”The top wellness platforms provide Information to help participants engage and begin developing a plan to change.
  • Action. “I’m eating healthier and get at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. I’ve even got an appointment to see my doctor for a checkup. It hasn’t been easy over the last six months, but I feel better than ever.” Wellness program initiatives delivered through a corporate wellness platform help the participant take action, be accountable, and measure progress.
  • Maintenance. “Healthy eating habits, regular exercise, and smart lifestyle choices are part of who I am. I want more people to know they can do this.” Top wellness platforms provide an experience that helps a participant stay engaged and develop long-term healthy lifestyle habits.

Know the cost of preventable disease

Controlling costs for wellness platform and programming

If you’re a C-suite executive tasked with boosting revenue and controlling costs, what’s one of your biggest expenses?

For a lot of organizations, it’s the cost of a less-than-healthy workforce that includes higher health plan premiums, missed days at work, more absenteeism and presenteeism, stress, burnout, and turnover.

How much do you spend on healthcare? How much does your corporate wellness platform and programming cost? And how much could you save if you could reduce preventable disease among your population? Think about this:

  • About 90 percent of $3.3 trillion of annual healthcare costs in the United States, is spent on treating preventable chronic diseases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Well-designed employee wellness platforms should make it easy to identify your population health risks.
  • Heart disease and stroke top the list. Combined, they claim the lives of about 895,000 people a year and cost $330 billion in healthcare costs and lost productivity, according to the CDC.
  • With more than 30 million adults living with diabetes, and another 84 million with prediabetes, this chronic disease costs $237 billion a year, according to the CDC.
  • Treating health problems associated with obesity costs about $147 billion a year. About 70 percent of all adults in the U.S. are overweight or obese, according to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
  • Did you know the average worker moves less than 3,000 steps per day. Lack of physical activity can take a toll and costs an estimated $117 billion a year, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Yet, the best medicine is free: move.
  • Smoking and excessive alcohol use add to the bill. Combined, smoking and alcohol cost an estimated $287 billion in healthcare costs, according to the CDC.

Healthy lifestyle habits for population health start here

Population health management wellness programs

If you want to create a culture, improve population health, and control healthcare costs, old-school wellness programs aren’t enough anymore. You need a better way to:

  • Identify individual and population health risk factors for chronic disease
  • Engage participants to adopt healthier lifestyle habits, get a checkup or screening, eat healthier, be more active, and more
  • Launch targeted wellness initiatives or interventions to address common health risks
  • Connect participants with health coaches and healthcare providers
  • Make it easy for participants to access personal health plan information and share it with their healthcare team for better care
  • Provide easy-to-understand, patient-education content
  • Motivate participants to get involve, engage, change behaviors, and inspire others
  • Create a customized experience for your employee wellness program or clients you serve
  • Measure population health progress from year to year, and give individual participants easy access to their own data to measure personal progress

If you want to run a wellness program like this, you need a wellness software that allows you to fully integrate your ideas, programming, and population health data for the best possible outcomes.

Wellness Incentive Programs

wellness program online-incentive-management

Looking for an incentive management program to manage points, rewards, and prizes forpoints_new1 wellness program participation?

Online incentive programs can help you achieve your wellness goals and improve population health.

But they’re not all created equal. Many use a one-size-fits-all design. That’s a problem that doesn’t always allow for customization to achieve the best results.

It’s a problem we decided to solve by creating customizable online incentive programs that:

  • Save you time developing and administering your incentive management program
  • Make it easy to manage wellness points, rewards, and prizes
  • Allow you to set point values for wellness goals, activities, and health outcomes
  • Automate the process of keeping track of points, awards, participation, and wellness goals achieved
  • Simplify the process of redeeming wellness points for financial awards, gift cards, products, and services
  • Accommodate your incentive management program design (outcome-based, activity, based, health points)

What incentive management program is right for your organization?

Here’s what you need to keep in mind:

  • Every population is different.
  • Every wellness program is different.
  • Points, incentives, and rewards that motivate one population might not be the same for a different population of employees.
  • There’s more than one incentive management model for wellness programs.
  • If you want to run an effective wellness program, you need an incentive management program that’s easy to use, customizable, and meets the needs of your population.

For example, if your population primarily includes desk-job officer workers, incentives to motivate them might be entirely different from a population of construction workers or police officers.

Or if you operate in multiple locations with different types of employees, you need a customizable incentive management program that allows you to engage employees in different ways.

Or if you want to require your population to complete specific wellness tasks or achieve measureable health goals, your incentive management program needs to be able to accommodate that.

Makes sense, right?

When you combine the right corporate wellness incentives with the right incentive management program for your population, you’ll be well-positioned to increase engagement, promote health, prevent disease, increase productivity, and control healthcare costs. Isn’t that what you want?

Corporate wellness incentives to increase engagement

Ever wonder what incentives increase engagement, motivate employees to make healthier choices, and create the kind of buzz to develop a culture of health?

It might not be what you think.For a long time, corporate wellness incentives often included things like:

fitness-tshirts

T-shirts

fitness-bottles

Water bottles

pedometer

Pedometers

low-cost-equipment

Low-cost fitness equipment

Maybe those were incentives that motivated employees to get a biometric screening, complete a health risk assessment, change their diet, attenda health coaching session, or lose weight. These types of incentives aren’t as effective anymore. But that doesn’t mean wellness incentives don’t work.

Connect wellness incentives with a tangible benefit

When you connect wellness incentives with a tangible benefit based on your strategy (well-being, outcome-based, or a hybrid of the two), your population is more likely to engage and participate.

For example, if a participant completes a specific health challenge, achieves a specific health goal, or a combination of the two, many wellness programs offer incentives with a tangible benefit such as:

  • Health insurance premium discounts
  • Health insurance premium credits
  • Contributions to a health reimbursement account
  • Contributions to a health savings account

Here’s what’s interesting. It’s possible run an effective wellness program with high levels of participant without tangible incentives. It’s not the only reason employees are willing to make lifestyle choices to improve their health. You may not need an incentive program if you have a strong culture of health sponsored by the highest levels of leadership in your organization.

Boost participation with financial incentives

Gift cardsBut if you are interested in leveraging the power of wellness incentives, this will give you an edge.

New research suggests the most effective company health incentive programs reward effort, points, and participation with financial incentives…as in cash, paid vacation days, and healthcare premium discounts.

But the big winner for corporate wellness incentives that promote health and boost engagement: gift cards.

In the study, employees were asked to participate in a six-week health challenge. The incentive to complete the challenge: A physical prize, cash reward, or gift card.

About 60 percent of employees chose the cash reward. Only 30 percent selected the gift card incentive. And just 10 percent chose the physical prize.

Even though the cash prize engaged the most people. Gift cards had the biggest impact on outcome. In the study, those who chose the gift card incentive were 25 percent more likely to complete the challenge than the other two groups.

Would you like to see a boost in participation and a 25 percent increase in employees adopting healthier habits? It may be time to take a closer look at your incentive management program.

The trouble with cookie-cutter wellness programs

If you’re using one of those cookie-cutter online incentive programs, it might be hard to change, adapt, or adopt a new incentive management model to motivate and engage your population.

It may even be a big waste of money. Many wellness incentive programs simply pay people to register, but that’s wasteful spending, especially if the participant never actually makes changes to improve health.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

You could try and create your own incentive management program, collect self-reported data, track physical activity, manually compile the results, or develop a complicated work-around to do something your current incentive management program can’t.

Or you could choose the FitLyfe Online Incentive Management program, specifically designed to accommodate your incentive management model for the best results possible.

It Pays to be Healthy

IncentivesWe offer financial and point-based incentives to participants based on biometric health results and program participation. Incentives can help drive participation up for your wellness programs.

Are you ready to increase participation rates, create a healthier workforce, and control healthcare costs?

The FitLyfe Incentive Management Programs are fully customizable and designed to accommodate your incentive management model, including:

Outcome-base Incentives with Alternative Standard

Outcome-based incentives are earned when the user attains a specific health outcome (such as not smoking or attaining certain results on biometric screenings).

An example of this would be measuring test results for blood pressure. Participants within the healthy range (below 120/80) would receive an incentive, and those not in the healthy range (120/80 or above) would be required to take additional steps to improvement to receive the same reward or incentive.

Health Contingent Outcome

Here’s another incentive management model that works for some populations and wellness programs: the health contingent outcome model. Instead of basing incentive awards on a single outcome, the incentive or reward is tied achieving a series of requirements. For example:

  • Achieving a normal or healthy ranges for at least 3 out of 5 measures on a biometric screening
  • Maintaining a healthy Body Mass Index and achieving a minimum health score
  • Exercising at least 30 minutes per day, along with participating in selected wellness activities

The health contingent outcome model can be an effective way to motivate participants and adopt healthy lifestyle habits at the same time.

Activity Based Incentives

Activity-based incentives are earned when users participate or complete an activity related to a health factor. This does not require an individual to attain or maintain a specific health outcome that is medically measured. Examples include getting regular physical activity, making healthy food choices, attending a health-related event, an annual screening, or completing a health risk assessment.

Health Points Management

Centralized Health Points is an incentive management program integrated within the platform. Members receive points based on activity-related outcomes such as completing a fitness challenge. Program points can be imported from any wellness program vendor. Users can redeem points for prizes and administrators can set the point value of each program upon completion.

The FitLyfe 360 wellness platform supports every one of these incentive management models to help you achieve better results from your wellness program efforts.

Need a customizable incentive management program?

Let’s talk. If you have any questions, give us a call or contact us a free demo.

What are wellness incentive programs, and how do they work?

Wellness incentive programs encourage employees to adopt healthier behaviors by offering rewards for participating in wellness activities. These programs are key to corporate wellness strategies, aiming to improve employee health and engagement. Employees can earn incentives by meeting specific health goals or participating in health assessments, fitness challenges, or other wellness-related activities. The best employee wellness programs use these incentives to motivate employees and create a healthier workplace culture.

What types of incentives are typically offered in wellness incentive programs?

Incentives in wellness incentive programs can include gift cards, wellness products, additional paid time off, discounts on gym memberships, and even monetary bonuses. These rewards help reinforce employee participation in health activities and promote continued engagement in corporate wellness initiatives. Tailoring incentives to employee preferences further increases the effectiveness of the program.

How do wellness incentive programs benefit employees?

Wellness incentive programs benefit employees by encouraging healthier habits, reducing stress, and improving overall well-being. Employees are motivated to engage in fitness challenges, screenings, and wellness assessments, contributing to better physical and mental health. As part of corporate wellness, these programs foster a sense of accomplishment and recognition, enhancing job satisfaction and work-life balance.

How can wellness incentive programs improve workplace productivity?

Wellness incentive programs can enhance workplace productivity by improving employee health and well-being. When employees feel supported in their wellness journey, they are more engaged, focused, and motivated to perform at their best. These programs, a crucial part of the best employee wellness programs, reduce absenteeism and healthcare costs while boosting morale and energy levels, leading to higher productivity and a more positive work environment.

How can I implement a successful wellness incentive program?

To implement a successful wellness incentive program, define clear health goals and select achievable wellness activities. Integrate it with your corporate wellness strategy, ensuring it aligns with company values and employee needs. Use tracking tools to monitor progress, provide meaningful rewards, and foster an environment of support. The best employee wellness programs consistently assess the program’s impact and make necessary adjustments to ensure long-term success and employee engagement.

Need an easy way to engage your population and measure health literacy?

fitquiz

Use a wellness quiz

FitQuiz gives you the tools to build a quiz, send it to your population,award and track responses.

It’s a simple and powerful way to find out what your population knows about health and wellness , so you can improve your strategy to help them.

Here are four ways FitQuiz can help you, it’s:

Less expensive than the cost of a health risk assessment, but still gives you valuable information about population health. And it won’t cost you more to access administrative features like most quiz-builder apps and software.

Faster. It takes the average person 15 to 30 minutes to complete a 50-question health risk assessment, and takes you longer to generate a population health report. FitQuiz makes it easy to ask a couple of targeted questions and get answers faster than a traditional HRA. And if you’re short on time, just use one of our evidence-based quizzes to engage your population (pending).

Simpler. The FitQuiz interface is easy to use, allowing you to design a quiz with questions and answers any way you want. And you don’t have to leave the FitLyfe wellness platform to use it, run a report, or worry about the security of personal health information.

Customizable. Get specific about a health or nutrition topic or ask general questions. It’s up to you. FitQuiz is entirely customizable to use as mini health risk assessment, an engagement tool, or both to learn more about the health of your population.

FitQuiz: How it works

FitQuiz The FitQuiz module helps you build a wellness quiz in a few simple steps. Here’s how it works:

Choose a topic and name your wellness quiz. Pick a health and wellness topic you want to ask your population about (exercise, nutrition, sleep, stress, preventive care, etc). Then give your quiz a name. Example: Quiz: How much do you know about the health benefits of sleep?

Develop questions and answers. Create a list of questions you want to ask your population about a specific health topic. (For example: How many hours of sleep do you get per night?) Then develop the answers to each question.

Choose answer format: FitQuiz gives you complete flexibility to choose the answer format for your quiz:

  • True or False
  • Multiple Choice
  • Yes or No.

Design it any way you want with radio buttons, check boxes, or simply Yes/No answer.

Use branching logic: Want to dig a little deeper when a participant answers a specific question? Use branching logic in your wellness quiz. For example: Do you eat red meat? If yes, how often?

Score the quiz. How many points is the wellness quiz worth? You decide. Give each question a point value to determine the score after a participant completes the quiz.

Required or optional? Maybe you want to capture specific information from a quiz from a question you want everyone to answer. Use the required or optional feature.

Add an incentive reward. So you send out short a 5-question quiz to your population? What’s going to motivate them to complete it? Offer wellness points or incentive reward for those who complete the quiz.

Quiz member after watching video. At the completion of watching the video,  you can prompt the participant to completea quiz and award point for completion.

Make it mobile-friendly. Don’t worry. We’ve already done this for you. When you send a FitQuiz to your population, it can be completed on any computer or mobile device. Point and click, or tap and swipe. It is also available on themobile app.

FitQuiz: A simple way to measure health literacy

Did you know only 12 percent of adults have proficient health literacy, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention?

What does that mean? Nine out of 10 adults don’t have the skills to manage their health effectively, or the information they’re being provided to manage their health is hard to understand, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

What is health literacy?

The degree to which an individual has the capacity to obtain, communicate, process, and understand basic health information and services to make appropriate health decisions.

If you’re trying to run a wellness program to promote health, prevent disease, and control healthcare costs, your population needs to understand how to make diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes to improve health.

So how do you make that happen?

Start with a FitQuiz. Ask a few simple questions to find out what they know, OR what they don’t know about a health-related topic. Then use the results to develop your own programming and strategy to improve health literacy.

Improve health literacy, beginning with the content you share with your population, here’s how:

  • Write shorter sentences and use simpler language.
  • Evaluate health literature you publish, using the Flesh Kincaid Grade Level Score
  • Establish reading grade level standards for health content you share with your population
  • Most states have established a 6th to 8th grade reading level for health literature published for their Medicaid populations, according to a national survey of Medicaid guidelines.
  • Many health insurance providers have adopted similar reading grade level standards to improve health literacy efforts, according to the America’s Health Insurance Plans.

Success Begins with Biometric Screening Data

Ready to run an effective corporate wellness program? Start with collecting biometric screening data to learn more about the health your population.

What is biometric screening?

It’s a simple way to capture specific health information about an individual or an entire organization to identify risk factors for chronic disease. In most cases, this is done with a simple blood test and blood pressure check.

A trained medical professional meets with an employee, takes a blood sample and measures blood pressure. The results can be used to identify health risks for an individual or an entire population and make lifestyle changes to improve health.

This health information is critical piece of data you need to identify health risk factors for your population and shape your wellness strategy. Data from a biometric health screening often measures:

  • Blood glucose to measure risk for diabetes. Fact: About 30 million people in the U.S. have diabetes, and another 70 million have pre-diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association.
  • Blood pressure Biometric Screening(systolic/diastolic) to measure heart health and risk for cardiovascular disease. Fact: One in three adults has high blood pressure, and many don’t even know it, according to the American Heart Association.
  • Body fat percentage to measure risk for overweight/obesity and chronic disease. Fact: About 70 percent of all adults are overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
  • Body Mass Index to assess risk for overweight/obesity by measuring height and weight ratio.
  • Waist circumference to assess risk for abdominal fat, overweight/obesity, and diabetes. Fact: The risk for heart disease and diabetes goes up for women with a waist of 35 inches or more or greater than 40 inches for men, according to the National Institutes of Health.
  • Cholesterol to measure risk for cardiovascular disease. Includes total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. Fact: About 35 million adults in the U.S. have high cholesterol, which raises the risk for heart disease and stroke, according to the American Heart Association.
  • Cotinine to measure use of tobacco products. Fact: About 40 percent of all cancers are linked to tobacco use, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Power of Prevention

Ten leading causes of death (including heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, and kidney disease) are responsible for 75 percent of all deaths in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Most of these deaths result from chronic conditions, which are the most common, costly and preventable with a basic blood draw and screening.

The Biometric Screening Process: Here’s how it works:

If you want to schedule a biometric screening, you’ve got options. You can coordinate this with your own healthcare system and providers, or we can connect you with one of FitLyfe’s biometric screening vendors and network of medical professionals to conduct offsite or onsite biometric screenings.

Biometric screening Home Kit

Home Kit

  • Onsite biometric screening. A healthcare provider comes to your office, sets up a mini doctor’s office in a private area, and meets with participants individually to complete the biometric screening. Simplify the process by allowing participants to book screening times using the FitLyfe 360 online scheduler.
  • Offsite screening. Participants visit a primary care provider or designated health clinic for a basic blood draw and biometrics screening.
  • Lab visit. Participants visit a designated medical laboratory that specializes in diagnostic testing for biometric screenings and other services.
  • Biometric screening home kit. Participants receive a biometric screening home kit with easy-to-follow instructions to provide a blood sample for screening. Then, participants mail in the sample for lab testing and results.

Choose the biometric screening method

There’s more than one way to obtain a blood sample to complete a biometric screening. Wellness program managers frequently point to convenience and cost to decide which biometric screening method works best for their organization and population. Options include:

  • Venipuncture blood draw.Venipuncture blood draw It’s the traditional blood draw method for the biometric screening process that’s been used for decades. A trained medical professional uses a needle to puncture a vein (usually in the arm), and take a blood sample that will be sent to a lab for analysis. If you want to give participants options to measure other biomarkers like blood glucose levels over time to measure diabetes risk or check for a vitamin D deficiency, for example, choose this option.
  • Finger stick.Finger stick blood draw Price and convenience have made this biometric screening method a popular choice for many wellness programs. Instead of a blood draw, a trained health professional pricks the finger of a participant for a much smaller blood sample. In many cases, it’s then analyzed on-site, and participants receive real-time results.

Get biometric screening results

Once the actual blood draw for a biometric screening is complete, get the screening results. It’s information:

  • Wellness program managers need to make decisions about program management.
  • Health coaches need to help participants.
  • Individuals can share with their doctor to manage health conditions.

Faster results with FitLyfe

How long should you wait for lab results following the biometric screening?

A few days, a few weeks, a month? That’s not uncommon. But it slows the decision-making process to promote health, prevent disease, improve quality of life, and control healthcare costs. And it doesn’t have to be that way.

Physician Visit Biometric Screening

When you partner with FitLyfe for biometric screenings, FitDoc (Patent Pending) provides a real-time physician form upload process to add results to the FitLyfe 360 platform in a matter of seconds, saving time, and administrative overhead.

Keep personal health information secure

When your participants trust you with their personal health information and biometric screening data, you have a legal obligation to keep their information secure. Participant biometric screening data is maintained in a secure and private platform that is  HIPAA certified. FitLyfe also meets all compliance standards and regulations to assess health risks, provide health education, and protect personal health information.

3 Reasons Biometric Screening Data Drives Wellness Program Success

Take a look at any successful wellness program, and you’ll find biometric screening data and health risk assessment data the foundation of population health management.

When you have meaningful data about your population and wellness program participants, you’re better able to promote health, prevent disease, improve quality of life, and control healthcare costs. Biometric screening data helps you:

Make informed decisions for population health management

Biometric screening data is the easiest way to assess the health of your population. A simple blood test is all you need. The screening results help you make decisions about wellness initiatives, programming, interventions, and budgeting to improve the health of your population.

Provide meaningful data for wellness coaching

How do you help someone change behavior for better health? It’s a process Dr. James Prochaska and Dr. Carlo DiClemented describe as the Transtheoretical Model of Health Behavior Change.

t’s the behavior change model widely used by wellness coaches to help people make positive changes to diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits to feel better, reduce the risk for chronic disease, and live longer. And it starts with biometric screening results.

Biometric screening data (combined with health risk assessment data) gives a wellness coach or health coach information about a participant to ask questions, meet them where they are, guide a coaching session, and help a participant through the five stages of behavior change:

  • Pre-contemplation
  • Contemplation
  • Preparation
  • Action
  • Maintenance

If someone isn’t even aware of their health risks, biometric screening data can be an easy way to help a participant start thinking about diet, physical activity, and lifestyle habits that impact their health.

Wellness managers frequently use biometric screening data as a tool to engage participants, encourage wellness and preventive exams, and help people make positive changes to be healthier, reduce the risk for chronic disease, and work through the process to develop healthy habits.

Improve health literacy for participants with personal health information

If you handed a participant their lab results from the biometric screening, would it be meaningful data? Maybe. But for many participants, it wouldn’t be useful. Why?

Only 12 percent of adults have basic health literacy, according to the National Assessment of Adult Literacy. That means most people could benefit from learning more about health and wellness to better manage their own health.

When participants receive biometric screening and health risk assessment results, explain it. It’s an opportunity for you to help them help themselves, which is the best way to promote health and lasting change. Here are some ways you can do this:

  • Host a pre-screening event to introduce the biometric screening, process and results
  • Organize a lunch lecture to discuss biometric results in general terms
  • Offer one-on-one health coaching sessions to discuss biometric data with participants
  • Publish information about what biometric screening results mean on your customized FitLyfe wellness portal
  • Create a FAQ guide to biometric screenings to share with your population
  • Invite your participants to share biometric screening data with their primary care provider and offer wellness points as an incentive for those who do
