"I found it interesting that
people are more likely to engage with the Web than with a personal
health coach and there are significant statistics that support
this. Furthermore, men are even more likely to use the Web than
any other resource for wellness." Toby Ashabranner, Manager
Strategic Benefits at Affiliated Computer Services |
| |
"I was really impressed with
the effectiveness of eHealth tools. After hearing the stats
today that support the high success rates from using web tools,
I plan to look into these options further and perhaps give one
a try." Janis Brunworth, Texas Women's University, Leadership
Institute |
| |
"The industry is moving away
from 'paper' mentality and is tailoring health education to
meet the needs of the employees." Mark Simeroth, Director
of Human Resources at Diocese of Fort Worth |
