What do we mean by “HRA?”

HRA stands for “Health Risk Assessment.”

At their simplest, HRAs ask health related questions and apply algorithms to calculate results to stratify users into groups.

The most popular type of HRAs are those used by health insurance companies.

They often use clunky, lengthy annual HRAs to quickly gather self-reported health metrics and determine how much you might cost them over time. They are not typically designed to help the individual take concrete action.

Our HRAs are different:

  • They are designed specifically to educate and motivate users about a specific health concern.
  • They have very tailored recommendations for next steps which can be edited in the Admin Portal.
  • They are designed to be used on a mobile device– quickly and conveniently.

We believe if you make it easy for users to educate and motivate themselves, they will willingly opt-in to your messaging.
