App provides health scores for individuals and organizations by analyzing data on physical, emotional, social and financial wellbeing
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 2 May 2019 - Aon
plc
(NYSE: AON) today announced the future launch of a new digital
health engagement platform with dacadoo, a leading health technology firm, to
help organizations enhance business performance by improving the health and
wellbeing of their workforce.
Aon's Well One App--a New Digital Health Engagement Platform
Through Aon's Well One application, which utilizes dacadoo's digital
health score platform, employees will be offered digital one-to-one coaching
and the ability to connect virtually with colleagues to share progress as well
as earn recognition to help influence healthy behaviors and increase
motivation.
"Well One is an exciting enhancement to our wellbeing capabilities,"
said Alistair Connell, CEO of Aon's Health Solutions, EMEA. "The
anonymous and aggregate data received from the Well One platform, coupled with Aon's data
and
analytics capabilities, will allow a deeper understanding into what
employers and their workers need to thrive -- enabling sustainable healthy behavior
change and helping them further reduce risk, manage cost and increase
performance."
Through artificial
intelligence driven digital coaching and education, Well One gives employees the
awareness and understanding they need to better manage their lifestyle and future
finances. Individuals can compare personal health
achievements to those across the organization anonymously, while businesses can
benchmark against others in the industry.
"Our clients are recognizing that health is not just
physical but rather a combination of factors -- including emotional, social and
financial -- and all can affect an individual's wellbeing," said Tim
Dwyer, CEO of Aon's Health Solutions, Asia Pacific. "Well One rises to this challenge,
particularly in educating and supporting individuals' financial wellbeing and
lifestyle choices to help change not just how they think, but what they do."
Well One uses smart, accessible data analytics distilled through the
physical, emotional, social and financial wellbeing of individuals, teams and
organizations into simple health scores. Studies have shown that healthy, happy
and motivated employees deliver higher performance and remain more loyal
towards their employers over time.
"We're very proud that Aon chose to partner with dacadoo to deliver the
Well One digital health engagement solution to its clients," said Peter
Ohnemus, president and CEO of dacadoo. "Aon has been at the forefront of health
and wellbeing for years. By capitalizing on this new technology, it places Aon
as a leading digital player in this strong global growth market."
Well One is first
being offered in parts of Europe and Asia.
