Quote
  "New data prove that health plans and employers are vastly over-managing members with wellness. This month's Health Affairs shows massive losses from wellness, while the 2016 "best" wellness program indicated harm to employees. Cutting screen frequencies back to levels more synced to U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Guidelines (meaning every few years) will enhance margins, while sparing members the dangers of over-screening and over-diagnosis. At Quizzify, we recommend health literacy instead. It's much less expensive than so-called "pry, poke and prod" wellness programs, and no one ever harmed employees by educating them. Wiser employees make healthier decisions, and how can your customers achieve a culture of health without a culture of health literacy?"

-Al Lewis, CEO Quizzify

  "One in six Americans use wearable technology for personal care and fitness tracking, most frequently in the form of smartwatches and fitness bands."
