Cigna is partnering with Virgin Pulse for an AI-powered platform to empower consumers to take control of their mental, physical and social health through better choices and setting achievable goals.
Cigna members can set personal health goals, track daily metrics, and get real-time feedback and guidance based on their data.
The connected and personalized health experience through myCigna will support approximately 11 million customers.
Participants can track their progress by connecting a compatible fitness device, like an Apple Watch, or through logging minutes exercised, weight, time slept and other daily metrics. Users can choose to share their activity with co-workers, family and friends who also use the platform to encourage each other to achieve their health goals, Cigna said.
Based on the customer's logged data, preferences and claims experience, myCigna can connect them to other relevant programs available through their Cigna Healthcare benefits, such as pre-diabetes management or behavioral health services.
The new platform will be available to certain Cigna Healthcare customers who receive coverage through their employer effective Jan. 1, 2024, with plans to expand over time.
"Digital health programs improve health outcomes and enhance vitality for individuals and their communities," said Heather Dlugolenski, senior vice president, commercial strategy and solutions, Cigna Healthcare. "For employers, investing in employee well-being directly translates into a more productive workforce and a thriving business. That's what we're offering through this enhanced digital platform in partnership with Virgin Pulse."
