Partner Spotlight: Smart Health
Smart Health is the digital platform for lifestyle improvement and wellbeing, built on medical and business insights for both employer and employee. Smart Health empowers individuals to take control of their own health, using scientifically validated online questionnaires, the platform quickly and efficiently maps each individual’s health.
Our Story
Smart Health proves that technology and science are effective drivers of lifestyle improvement and measurable health gains. The use of an interactive online lifestyle platform has been shown to reduce stress levels by 30% and lower cardiovascular risk by 28%. Within organizations, this translates into a 20% decrease in absenteeism due to illness and a 30% increase in job satisfaction.
Zeeman TextielSupers, a Dutch retail chain, serves as a strong example. Through Smart Health, employees collectively walked 75 million steps, equivalent to circling the globe 1.3 times. The impact extends beyond the workplace into local communities. In Rotterdam, participants with a low sociological economical status (SES) improved their lifestyle score by 8.6% and reduced their cardiovascular risk by 9.8%. Technology and science play a decisive role in closing the health gap.
