GoVida vs. Wellable

GoVida has many options to choose from, so the user has a lot of freedom and variety for improving their health habits. The main function is step-tracking. This function comes with multiple challenges (individual and team-challenges) that motivate the user to complete their daily step count. The application also has a "Mind" section. I find that this is quite an original feature that separates GoVida from other step trackers and elevates it [as] a wellness application. The "Mind" section has a variety of audio sessions that are helpful for meditation, mindfulness, and overall psychological wellbeing. Lately, GoVida added an Emotion tracker where users are able to rate their daily emotional wellbeing. The ratings are anonymous. With this feature, we are able to see the overall employee emotional wellbeing and make institution-wide improvements based on that. Lastly, GoVida offers a leaderboard. At our particular university, we have quite a few employees that are motivated by competition, so even though GoVida aims for a holistic approach toward wellness, we are happy that it also gives the option to compete [with] those who need it.

We love the variety of activities Wellable offers and the secondary platforms it's able to connect to. All of our team members were able to use link the apps that they were already using to the Wellable platform. Even our team members that do not use wearable devices can go in and manually input their exercises to receive points. This makes it accessible for all users.

• Keeps me moving.
• Helps with listening to Mind Tracker.
• GoVida Points go towards redeeming and charity.
• Easy to use.
• Tracks my steps.

• Wellable makes it so easy for us to manage this program. They make it so that we have very little to do on our end to keep the program running smoothly. It really helps us continue to focus on the business while still being able to offer a great program like this.

• The mental well-being content is good but I'd like to see more of it
• I'd like to see more functionality that helps the interaction with other colleagues during the challenges. We use Whatsapp at the moment which is ok but would be good if it was wrapped into the app

• None! Our team really loves it.

The support team is just the best! They answer questions really quickly and would usually go above and beyond to help us diagnose and fix the problems. Admin support from the account managers is also great!

We worked with the CEO of GoVida as a pilot business and loved the platform so we signed up.

Never looked into other Wellable-type products.
