Health & Wellness Companion
Health & Wellness Companion provides plan members with confidential online services to help them manage their health and that of their family.
 |
What is the Service About? |
The Health & Wellness Companion is a secure, interactive website sanctioned by the Canadian Medical Association which gives plan members access to the following tools:
 |
A personalized health profile established through questionnaires that evaluate family history, lifestyle and risk factors (nutrition, sleep, stress, physical activity, etc.) and recommend steps to improve health. |
|
A health record that combines their personal and family data (illnesses, medication, allergies, vaccinations, etc.) which can be shared with health professionals. |
|
A database of reliable information on health, illnesses (asthma, cholesterol, diabetes, cancer, mental health, etc.) and medication. |
|
What Are the Benefits for Plan Sponsors? |
Using data entered by plan members, and respecting the confidentiality of personal information, the Health & Wellness Companion offers plan sponsors:
|
A way to raise awareness among plan members and offer them the necessary resources to make better choices based on their lifestyle and risk factors. |
|
An efficient method to identify risk factors, prioritize specific intervention options and measure their effect and the return on investment over time. |
|
A means to follow trends in employee health which have an impact on healthcare costs and productivity. |
