Fitbit vs. Forma Life Benefits Platform

The first scenario is that Fitbit allows our employees to see their exercise productivity in a day. The facility we are working in is a [healthcare-based] facility. We have staff that [is] constantly on the go. The device monitors their activity for personal knowledge and [professionalism]. Therefore, the employee can decide if they are doing enough exercise in a day or if they need more. As an employer, we like to have [documented] activity to provide a wellness benefit. The Fitbit provides us with ideas and tools to improve the health of our staff and to make exercise fun. Lastly, the other features that Fitbit has been extremely beneficial to our staff and residents. They can monitor things like sleep and healthy choices on their own. In addition, looking at [heart rate] and how that reflects on their activity.

I think Forma is pretty clear on the intention of using the funds to either positively contribute to your health or getting out with your friends and family. It takes some sting out of extracurricular activities that can, otherwise, be expensive. I think some people have tried to use it for stuff other than what it is intended for. This goes back to people not knowing which businesses will be considered acceptable to use Forma at.
