How incentives engage and keep patients healthy

When it comes to health and wellbeing, good habits are everything. But forming habits is a challenge and maintaining them can be, too. 

To try to help, a growing number of healthcare companies are looking to incentivize consumers to take care of themselves more proactively by forming lasting healthy habits. One such company, Wellth, works with payers to keep their members engaged and healthier. 

In this week’s episode of “Podnosis,” Fierce Healthcare’s Anastassia Gliadkovskaya interviews Matt Loper, Wellth’s co-founder and CEO. She also chats with John Snyder, the former president and CEO of Sanford Health Plan, where he explains the return on investment the plan saw by working with a vendor like Wellth.
