Get active.
And have fun
while doing it.
Help your employees get healthier lifestyles and overall wellness by joining this innovative new program to encourage activity using the power of virtual reality to create physical activity and sustained engagement.
The problem
Health plans and employers are constantly seeking new ways to increase engagement and improve the health of their population. So they create well-being programs in an attempt to improve physical activity and movement. But unfortunately, these programs tend to see low utilization and seldom produce meaningful engagement.
Designed to harness
immersive power of
VR
Sharecare’s Get Active program creates sustained engagement in physical activity for employees across many health and demographic backgrounds by enabling access to movement in an immersive, gamified virtual reality experience.
How it works
Enrollment
Eligible employees who enroll will receive a Meta Quest 2 VR headset, a free 3-month Supernatural subscription, and a guide to recommended movement apps in VR.
Engagement
Your employees can use Meta Quest Move to count their activity minutes generated via the headset; and, with their consent, synchronize minutes worked out in VR to the Sharecare app. Sharecare provides multiple touchpoints throughout the program to drive sustained engagement. This program was designed with responsible data practices to protect participant privacy.
Rewards
Each employer can configure rewards and incentives based on program goals. Sharecare will provide reporting on program data—including activity minutes—back to the employer to measure overall program performance.
Core program features
Sharecare has designed a new program to sustain engagement in physical activity to improve health outcomes across an employee population.
Immersive fitness
Experience a highly engaging program that transforms physical activity into an enjoyable activity. The programs combine community, goals, rewards, and fun VR experiences to enable “exercise by accident.”
Data integration
For the program, with member consent, Meta Quest Move stats are synced to Meta’s servers and then to the Sharecare app. Sharecare’s digital app keeps track of weekly and monthly goals to be eligible to receive rewards..
Powerful engagement
Dynamic features such as goals, leaderboards, and social experiences promote consistent engagement throughout the program. Focused re-engagement campaigns are deployed to optimize the member experience.
Robust reporting & insights
Monthly reports consist of total/average activity minutes, goals achieved, engagement rate, and qualitative metrics (NPS, sleep quality, enjoyment, etc.).
Case study:
Powerful outcomes
Sharecare partnered with a large employer to do a study with the Get Active program to improve physical activity and fitness of their high-risk employees. The program enrolled 250 employees into 2 cohorts; cohort 1 for high-risk individuals (e.g., sedentary, overweight, etc.) and cohort 2 for general population.
Cohort 1 (high-risk)
Cohort 2 (general population)
“The VR program is a great alternative to what I currently do as physical activity! It’s really interactive and great to do at home when I don’t have time to go to the gym.”
I’m absolutely loving the VR activity. THANK YOU for sending the Oculus – I love this thing!!! I’m going to buy one for my wife now so she can start getting active!
It is a nice situation to be in the beautiful virtual reality world exercising, makes you feel like you are on vacation.
I have been enjoying the workouts. I feel more in shape and have more energy than I have in years.
