America has the highest per capita health spending in the world, and American businesses are bearing a large brunt of this burden in the employee health benefits they’re responsible for providing.

But despite substantially higher spending, the U.S. has worse population health outcomes than most other developed nations. Getting to the heart of this issue, many employers are turning to Virgin Pulse, a digital wellness platform that gives individuals the tools they need to take control of their health.

The Virgin Pulse platform provides avenues for motivation and reinforcement of healthy habits and lifestyles. It also connects users with personalized, relevant information and benefits, improving their health literacy so they can make good, informed decisions.

Using the Virgin Pulse app, one member was able to develop healthy habits and a routine that helped him lose 230 pounds in 12 months. Employers also report that they’re saving approximately $1,000 per employee, per year when members use the platform.
