Louisville, Ky.-based Humana deployed a mobile- and web-based wellness tracker for employers to enhance their employees' health.
Goal Guru facilitates employee wellness by monitoring employees' steps, weight and sleep. The tracker allows users to participate in workplace competition and provides 24/7 access to a digital coach. By focusing on a holistic approach to health, Goal Guru looks to enhance social engagement and workplace well-being.
Kristine Mullen, vice president of wellness for Humana, said in a prepared statement, "The app allows users to socially motivate or 'nudge' each other to influence positive behaviors and healthy habits. Services like this give us valuable information on employees, their healthcare costs and overall employer satisfaction so that we can ensure they are receiving the best resources possible."
