A Better Measure: Health Engagement & higi Score
A significant part of the population wants to live and feel better. Unfortunately, most of them don't know what better means and, more importantly, don't want to put too much effort into being better.
higi creates consumer health awareness through easy, interactive and rewarding activities that are accessible via retail kiosk, web and mobile. The higi Score is the key component in driving consumer engagement.
This Future 15 session will focus on how higi is reimagining the way that consumers measure living and feeling better. The higi Score is powered by the user’s body, community and lifestyle – creating a common measurement to evaluate and track their quality of life and long-term health.
The session will cover reaching the unmotivated consumer, creating engagement through the higi Score, and encouraging healthy behaviors and outcomes through gamification principles.
