SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Castlight Health, Inc. (NYSE: CSLT), a
leader in healthcare navigation, announced today four new additions
to its industry-leading digital health ecosystem. The new ecosystem
partners will help address growing needs as the pandemic wears on
and employers are faced with mounting health challenges in the
workplace. Castlight's new ecosystem partners include:
- Spring Health, a global, comprehensive mental health solution
that combines clinically proven technology with personalized human
care, delivers a customized approach for each member when they need
it most. As COVID-19 and recent events have left 67% of Americans
saying the pandemic has had a "serious impact" on their mental
health (APA), it has never been more important to "get it right"
when it comes to employee wellbeing.
- WW, a scientifically proven behavioral weight management and
wellness program, helps inspire healthy habits for millions with
the latest nutritional and behavior change science. Through its
comprehensive digital app, expert coaches, and engaging
experiences, members follow the proven, sustainable, science-based
program focused on food, activity, mindset, and sleep.
- SWORD Health, provider of a clinical-grade digital MSK solution
proven to outperform in-person care, which is pivotal as risk
factors for MSK health, such as decreases in exercise and poor
mental health, abound during the pandemic.
- Progyny (NASDAQ:PGNY), a leading benefits management
company specializing in fertility and family building benefits
solutions, empowers patients with concierge member support and
provides access to a premier network of fertility specialists to
drive optimal clinical outcomes for members and reduce healthcare
costs for the nation's leading employers.
These new partners join Castlight's existing
ecosystem partners, further solidifying Castlight as the
most comprehensive digital hub for employers and health plans to
offer to their population.
"As employers look to attract and retain talent, they are
focused on the benefits most important to employees, such as
fertility and family building solutions, which became a higher
priority for many during the pandemic," says Progyny Chief
Executive Officer David Schlanger.
"Partnering with Castlight will bring Progyny's life changing
benefit to more employees, enabling them to achieve their dreams of
parenthood."
Meeting Employees' Health Needs with One Single
Platform
As employers tackle the challenge of increasing employee health
concerns, many are adopting a record number of point solutions,
often leaving benefits leaders tasked with managing dozens of
disparate platforms with disconnected data. This not only makes it
challenging for employees to discover and find needed digital
health solutions, but actually hinders engagement, impacting
utilization.
"It's critical we provide a unified platform to help employer
and health plan members maximize use of their health benefits
during such a time of need," said Matt
Moran, Castlight senior vice president of Corporate
Development. "We know from working with some of America's largest
employers, in response to the growing needs of their workforce,
that many have added even more benefits offerings. Partnering with
Castlight helps get these needed condition management programs,
health and wellbeing features, and financial resources more
efficiently and effectively delivered to and used by individual
members when they need it the most."
Two-way Data Integration Powers Higher Engagement and Better
Outcomes
Castlight's unique pre-established relationships allow for a
rapid launch of partner services, which are deeply embedded
throughout Castlight's member experience—by leveraging Castlight,
ecosystem partners typically see a 45-55% increase in engagement.
As an industry-leading health navigation platform, Castlight offers
a seamless, personalized experience to connect the right members
with the right programs. To do this, Castlight leverages its rich
claims data alongside hundreds of other data points to recommend
partner services to the member based on their unique health
profile. These partner services are deeply integrated with
Castlight, including a two-way data exchange between partner and
platform.
For example, claims data and member behavior might show a member
is suffering from anxiety or depression. Castlight will remind this
member via email, push notification, in-app recommendation, or
through a high-touch Care Guide that their employer or health plan
provides Spring Health as a free resource. Castlight will then
navigate the member into their Spring Health account, auto filling
all necessary account details so the member can quickly start using
Spring Health's comprehensive suite of behavioral health benefits.
Spring Health will then share information back to Castlight to
power optional incentives and continued engagement.
"We are very excited to be a part of Castlight's ecosystem
partner network," said Marc Jacobs,
chief revenue officer at Spring Health. "The two-way data exchange
with Castlight's industry-leading health navigation platform will
enable us to connect even more people with the mental healthcare
they need and to keep them continuously engaged in their unique
journey, further advancing our mission of eliminating barriers to
mental health."
