Garmin, a global leader in wearable technology for over a
decade, produces a range of attractive wearables with long battery
life and a wide array of metrics. Garmin wearable devices provide
an objective way to measure both the quantity and quality of
various activities, delivering insightful metrics like intensity
minutes, stress, sleep, and pulse ox1 that help users better
understand their overall health.
“Garmin Health is excited to collaborate with the Blue Cross
Blue Shield Association on an innovative program like Blue365,”
said Sean McNamara, Garmin Health Manager. “Garmin wearable devices
encourage both physical and emotional health. Combined with the
personalized digital health tools available in Blue365, members
will have access to the information they need to help them live
healthier lives.”
“Our goal is to encourage Americans to take a proactive role in
maintaining and improving their health, and that can start with
fitness,” said Mark Talluto, vice president, Strategy and Analytics
at the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association. “By adding Garmin’s
wearables to Blue365’s health and wellness offerings, we can
provide Blue Cross and Blue Shield members another way to help
achieve their goals through a deeper understanding of their health
and fitness information.”
The ever-expanding Garmin fitness segment develops technologies
to enhance and promote healthy and active lifestyles. Garmin Health
provides enterprise solutions that leverage Garmin wearables and
the high-quality sensor data they produce for applications in the
corporate wellness, population health, and patient monitoring
markets.
