Demoes from Fitlinxx, Dacadoo, Keas and Nurtur explored how employers are actively incorporating tools geared towards wellness and holistic health as a means to improve and engage employees physical and mental health.

Josh Stevens is responsible for leading the development and market adoption of the Keas 360/365 Health Engagement Platform, which drives sustained engagement & health improvement for some of America’s largest corporations.  Keas uses costumer engagement through teams and viral sharing to boost platform use and healthy living.  He is passionate in his charge to not only free health data to create smarter patients, but empower the masses to go beyond awareness, take control of their health and make meaningful behavior change.

Since its pivot in 2010 Keas has integrated gaming and community into its wellness plans. Puneet will show how employers like Pfizer and Quest are using Keas to improve their employees’ health status.

Ever wonder what other employees are doing to keep health costs low while encouraging healthy habits, friendly co-worker competition and more? We’ve brought together a group to discuss the technology behind their wellness program and some will even bring along a client to discuss their experiences.

Adam Bosworth, the CEO of KEAS, is interviewed by Carleen Hawn of HealthSpottr. After a successful career in technology, Adam talks to Carleen about what brought him to healthcare.

Keas’s whole business method is around how to help companies have healthier employers. Tests prove that healthier employees have higher levels of engagement, boosting a company’s productivity. Here Lindsay Volckman demonstrates some of Keas’s core values and how they help companies increase their employees’ wellbeing.

In this session, Health 2.0 discusses how employers are actively engaging employees with results based wellness programs and providing educational services and tools. Encouraging employees to make better wellness decisions and improving access helps employers, too, since healthier employees mean less sick days, better productivity and lower insurance costs. We talked with a few companies that are embracing wellness programs, and saw the programs in action with live demos.

One area where Health 2.0 technologies show great promise and some early market penetration is in tools for wellness. Employers, consumers, and even Medicare are now paying for programs and services that don’t look like traditional medical care, but may have great benefits. But in a world in which the food supply, and the physical and social environment seem to be programming us for obesity, what can the Health 2.0 community do? We take a closer look at how Health 2.0 tools can become part of the fabric for better micro and macro-decisions about food and healthy behaviors, with a special focus on how we can make a real contribution to ending childhood obesity.
