AUGUST 4, 2021, Vancouver, British Columbia: Wellteq Digital Health Inc. WTEQ WTEQF, (the “Company” or “Wellteq”) is pleased to announce that the Company has partnered with LifeSpeak LSPK, the mental health and wellbeing platform for employee and customer-focused organizations, to provide expert-led mental health and wellness education resources to Wellteq customers across the Asia Pacific market (APAC). This partnership leverages Wellteq's digital health ecosystem and LifeSpeak's extensive content library to empower a healthier, happier workforce through personalized wellness.
The integrated partnership enables Wellteq to strengthen its behavior change programs by embedding LifeSpeak's carefully vetted micro-learning educational content into its award-winning digital wellness and data analytics app. The Wellteq app is highly customizable and provides organizations of all sizes with a flexible, simple, and quick-to-launch digital wellness solution that includes features such as digital coaching, gamified challenges, rewards and recognition, and workforce analytics. Wellteq smartphone software is deployed to over 30 countries in 12 languages and is trusted by organizations such as Garmin, UBS, and Willis Towers Watson.
"The impact of the pandemic on mental health and the normalization of dispersed workforces highlights the importance of giving employees anytime, anywhere access to relevant and engaging information that drives better health outcomes," said Scott Montgomery, CEO of Wellteq. "We are excited to partner with LifeSpeak, an organization that has a long history of delivering highly relevant and engaging education on the health and wellbeing issues that most impact individuals in their personal and professional lives. Lifespeak content will be deployed through Wellteq’s sophisticated personalisation engine into user programs initially focusing on sleep, anxiety and burnout which are ever-prevalent due to the pandemic. There is substantial need for these support programs."
LifeSpeak has almost two decades of experience creating proprietary assets with leading experts in their fields. All available education resources have been developed to deliver support and education across a wide range of issues, including critical topics such as mental health, addiction, stress management, relationships, nutrition, fitness, and financial health. Access to this relevant content allows Wellteq to provide authorized users with the information and guidance they most need.
"It is essential that organizations take a proactive and preventative approach to mental health issues. Apathy is no longer an option, and it is critical that business leaders support the wellbeing of their people with high-quality educational resources and tools," said Michael Held, CEO, and founder of LifeSpeak. "Our expert-led educational content has helped millions of people across dozens of industries, and we're thrilled to partner with Wellteq, a highly innovative organization that strives to achieve lasting change through ongoing support and coaching of those in need."
