About HealthyWage

HealthyWage was founded in 2009 and administers best-in-class, outcomes-based wellness challenges for large public- and private-sector employers. We specialize in Fortune 500 companies as well as a variety of industries internationally including hospital systems, school districts, and municipalities. Our challenges provide significant clinical outcomes with verified and measurable weight loss.

Our programs are grounded in leading academic and industry research at Harvard, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Pennsylvania that suggests:

  • Even small cash rewards increase the effectiveness of weight loss and fitness programs.
  • People are more effective at losing weight and increasing activity when their own money is at risk.
  • The role of Social Media networks in the spread and reversal of obesity.

Our mission is to have a measurable impact on the growing obesity epidemic and motivate people to get moving and healthy.
