“We used our software to collect three years of medical claims data, pharmacy data, biometric data, and for this study, Fitbit data. For that three year period we could see the efficacy of the program,” said Daniels. Employees who opted into the Fitbit program cost on average $1,292 less than employees in the control group, and engaged users total costs dropped by 46% over a two-year period.

“If you ask an employer does the health of an employee actually matter, every employer is going to say absolutely, it’s evergreen. It always makes sense to invest in the health of the people that work for me. As an organization, we believe it’s important for an employer to understand where to invest in their employees,” said Reasen.

Since the close of their $3.75 million Series A round earlier this year, Springbuk has hired 20 new people and grew by 56% just in this last quarter. Read more about how the company uses health data to drive employer and employee health decisions in their featured profile.
