Wellness Data Solutions

Wellness Data Solutions unlocks the power of risk data to establish a culture of health so companies enjoy greater profitability as employees decrease their health risks.

Joe and Carrie Company founded WDS in response to a weakness they saw in typical corporate wellness programs that focused on participation-based metrics, which failed to produce measurable results. Innovative programming, creative solutions, and strategic interventions based on science began to emerge—and that’s when Wellness Data Solutions was born.

WDS serves as a third-party wellness vendor designed specifically to meet the unique needs of employers interested in reducing their employees’ lifestyle disease risk. We provide employers with the necessary tools to quantify disease risk, increase engagement within their work sites, and educate employees about improving their health, reducing lifestyle disease risk, and reducing healthcare costs.

WDS Health Risk^TM Index, Powered by WDS

Health data is complex — so much so that few people are able to use their personal health data to make measurable, lasting changes in their overall health profile.

WDS unlocks the power of health data using the WDS Health Risk^TM Index. It’s our proprietary health algorithm that measures each employee’s risk for preventable lifestyle diseases and provides a detailed risk management plan for each individual.

We make health data accessible and understandable so that employees are healthier — which means your company is healthier too.
