  • Better benchmarks health and benefits strategies;
  • Empowers individuals to better manage their health and wellbeing with a mobile-driven, modern and data-enabled experience;
  • Improves education and understanding of the programs and benefits that can improve their health;
  • Uses AI, machine learning and other predictive techniques to create a fully personalized health benefits experience; and
  • Becomes a support system that encourages better healthcare for the individual, in which AI and computer vision play a valuable role.
