Wellness Games Encourage a Fitter Workforce

Wellness Games Encourage a Fitter Workforce | GAFAMS, STARTUPS & INNOVATION IN HEALTHCARE by PHARMAGEEK | Scoop.it

Companies are using games and gadgets to get employees to kick bad habits, the biggest challenge to controlling health-care costs.

Keas has about 30 clients, most with 1,000 to 10,000 workers, who pay $15 per employee per year.

“At the end of the day, it’s the social support of the game that keeps people playing.”

In early 2010, six months after the $99.95 Fitbit went on sale, semiconductor company Tokyo Electron bought one for each of the 1,100 employees at its U.S. subsidiary. Since then, Fitbit has supplied hundreds of employers, including 25 Fortune 500 companies

Employee wellness startup Keas opens API for quantified self interoperability

Employee wellness startup Keas opens API for quantified self interoperability | GAFAMS, STARTUPS & INNOVATION IN HEALTHCARE by PHARMAGEEK | Scoop.it

Keas, a startup which gamefies employee wellness and compliance, today announced the launch of a new platform that adds more social elements to the service, can be accessed on iOS, and opens up Keas to third party web developers. Keas also announced a new CEO: Josh Stevens, an alum of AOL and, most recently, YouSendIt.

 

The company has also opened its platform to allow outside developers build on top of it. It’s unclear just how open the platform will be for third parties to really get creative with the data because the company is mum for now, though it says it has some partner announcements to make.

 

Keas said it would be working with quantified self device makers, publishers, and wellness app makers. Stevens said the service could work with those QS devices – he didn’t name names, but the Nike FuelBand and FitBit fall in the category. He also said the platform would integrate with fitness centers and cafeterias, so when an employee makes a healthy food choice, for example, he can automatically earn points.
