Employer wellness programs
Activity challenges and incentives across a workforce.
Corporate Wellness Software
Corporate Wellness Software Employees Actually Use
We build employee wellness platforms that connect wearables, run incentive programs, and track outcomes: HealthKit, Health Connect, and Validic integration with privacy handled to HIPAA and GDPR standards.

What corporate wellness software involves
Corporate wellness software runs an employer's health and engagement programs (activity challenges, biometric screenings, coaching, and incentives) across a distributed workforce. The core is data plumbing and behavior design: pulling wearable data through HealthKit, Health Connect and aggregators like Validic, then turning it into fair challenges and defensible incentive payouts.
Off-the-shelf wellness apps rarely fit an employer's programs, incentive rules or benefits integrations. We build platforms that integrate the full range of wearables, run configurable incentives and rewards, and handle personal health data under HIPAA and GDPR.
What it is
Run employer wellness that people actually join
Corporate wellness software runs an employer's health programs (challenges, screenings, coaching, and incentives) connecting employees' wearables and turning activity into rewards.
The payoff is participation and healthier, more engaged employees, without mishandling their health data. We build the wearable integration, incentives engine, and privacy architecture that make the program work and keep it compliant.
Architecture
A wellness platform wired to wearables and an incentives engine, engineered for high participation and clean health-data handling.
What We Build Into Wellness Platforms
Each capability pairs a wellness workflow with the integration or privacy detail that makes it work at employer scale.
Wearable & Device Integration
Activity, heart-rate, sleep, and biometric data from Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin, and Oura via HealthKit, Health Connect, and Validic aggregation.
Activity & Biometric Tracking
Configurable tracking of steps, active minutes, and screening biometrics normalized across device sources for fair, comparable challenges.
Incentives & Rewards Engine
Rules-based points, rewards, and premium-differential incentives with automated, auditable payout logic tied to verified activity.
Health Data Privacy (HIPAA & GDPR)
Employee health data encrypted and access-controlled, with consent capture and aggregation that keep individual data out of employers' hands per HIPAA and GDPR.
Challenges & Social Engagement
Team and individual challenges, leaderboards, and nudges designed with behavior-science patterns to drive sustained participation.
Benefits & HRIS Integration
Integration with benefits administration and HRIS platforms so eligibility, enrollment, and incentive fulfillment stay in sync.

Pay as you live insurance
Can pay as you live insurance change a premium?
It depends on the line of business. In ACA individual and small group plans, activity data cannot change the premium; employer wellness programs can offer a capped reward; life and supplemental lines follow state-filed rating rules. The software applies each rule per line.
| Line of business | Can activity data change the premium? | What the insurer's software must do |
|---|---|---|
| ACA individual and small group health | No. The rate may vary only by individual or family coverage, rating area, age and tobacco use | Keep activity scores out of the rate calculation and the rating record |
| Employer group health plan wellness programs | Not through rating. Activity can earn a reward, such as a premium or contribution discount, within the wellness program rules | Cap health-contingent rewards at 30 percent of the cost of coverage (50 percent with tobacco programs) and offer a reasonable alternative standard |
| Individual life and supplemental lines | Possibly, where the rating plan that uses it is filed and accepted under state law | Version every score and rating rule, test outcomes for unfair discrimination and keep an explainable decision record for each policy |
This is how we design the software, not legal advice. Your actuaries and compliance team decide each rule and its filings and disclosures.

Our Process
How We Deliver a Wellness Platform Build
We treat wearable integration, the incentives engine, and privacy design as parallel workstreams from discovery.
1.
Discovery & Program Design
We map your wellness programs, incentive rules, and device mix, then design the tracking model and privacy architecture.
Program-first
2.
Core Build & Incentives
We build the tracking core, challenges, and the rules-based incentives and rewards engine with auditable payout logic.
Engagement engine
3.
Integration
We wire HealthKit, Health Connect, and Validic device integration plus benefits and HRIS connections.
Connected data
4.
Rollout & Participation
Phased launch with participation dashboards, program tuning, and iteration as engagement data accumulates.
Sustained use
Facts and sources
Which rules limit wellness-based pricing?
Short facts we design pay as you live and wellness reward logic around, each linked to its primary source.
In the individual and small group health insurance markets, a premium rate may vary only by whether the plan covers an individual or a family, rating area, age and tobacco use.
Source: 45 CFR 147.102(a)(1) (eCFR)A reward under a health-contingent wellness program in a group health plan, such as a premium discount, may not exceed 30 percent of the total cost of coverage, or 50 percent where the extra amount is for a tobacco prevention or reduction program.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cost scales with the device integrations, incentive complexity, and benefits connections you need. A platform with wearable integration, an incentives engine, and challenges is a smaller build than a multi-program platform with HRIS and benefits integration. We scope against your programs before quoting.
We give you a timeline after the scoping call. Timelines are driven by wearable-integration and benefits-system access more than the app itself, so we secure device and HRIS integration paths early and build the engagement layer in parallel.
Buy if a packaged wellness app fits your programs, incentives, and benefits stack. Build when you need custom incentive rules, specific device integrations, benefits-system connections, or a branded experience an off-the-shelf app cannot provide. We often build the differentiated engagement and incentive layer and integrate the rest.
We pull activity and biometric data through Apple HealthKit, Android Health Connect, and Validic aggregation across devices like Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin, and Oura, and integrate with benefits-administration and HRIS platforms for eligibility and incentive fulfillment.
Individual health data is encrypted, access-controlled, and consent-gated, and reporting to employers is aggregated so no one can view an individual's readings. We architect the platform to HIPAA and GDPR standards so participation does not come at the cost of privacy.
The score is calculated from consented device data and stored with its model version and inputs. It then reaches the rating or reward record only through a rule the insurer has approved for that line, and the policy system receives the score with its audit trail rather than raw device data.
Each reward is a ledger entry linked to the policy or member, the activity that earned it and the rule version applied. Payouts, reversals and expiries are added as new entries, never edits, so the history reconciles with the policy and stands up to an audit.
