Abstract

This paper discusses an experimental integrated wellness application that syncs with a wearable device and with a human capital management database to provide a full picture of health and wellness. Wellness is measured at the individual level as well as at the group level. This application uses domain specific algorithms, which are based on scientific research and analysis of biometric data. We investigate the effect of this application on user behavior and wellness habits. We also look for correlations between companies´ policies, culture, management practices, and wellness.
