“Welld Health has a proven track record of working with health care organizations and fitness centers throughout the United States,” said David Evans, Vice President of Cooper Wellness Strategies. “We value their experience and expertise to automate our Cooper Tracks reporting and at the same time add quality programs for Welld clients—so it’s a win-win.”

Cooper® Tracks is an exercise and educational program designed to guide and support individuals with chronic health conditions, or who are deconditioned, learn how to exercise safely, increase their confidence and develop habits to live healthier. Cooper® Tracks programming provides a comprehensive approach to wellness. Cooper Tracks includes four chronic disease tracks: cardiovascular, cancer, diabetes and arthritis and two prevention tracks: well-being and immunity/reconditioning.

“With the launch of this partnership, existing and prospective Welld Health clients running Cooper Tracks can easily operationalize their program reporting needs—to focus on what matters most—wellness,” states Chris Craytor, CEO of Welld Health. “We weave in wearable metrics, smart equipment data and gym visits to complement Cooper Tracks comprehensive health outcome reporting.”
