Business Wire
Today, Aetna (NYSE: AET) announces a new wellness and
behavioral health benefit that helps improve overall brain health –
MyBrainSolutions. MyBrainSolutions is an interactive brain-training
website that brings together games, videos and trackers designed to
improve stress management, memory and attention. These services are
specifically designed for employers looking to improve productivity
and the health and well-being of their workforce.
Created by Brain Resource, Inc., MyBrainSolutions provides
adults with the tools they need to take charge of their own
well-being and performance. MyBrainSolutions uses an objective
personal brain assessment to measure the four key areas of brain
performance - emotion, thinking, feeling and self-regulation - and
matches a person to specific brain training games and
exercises.
Regularly participating in exercises designed to improve brain
health can help in many ways. For example, it helps
participants:
- build new habits that help them perform
better in real world activities.
- improve long and short-term
memory.
- build stronger interactions with
others.
"There are strong linkages between brain health and overall
health and well-being,” said Louise Murphy, head of Aetna
Behavioral Health. “The addition of MyBrainSolutions into our
industry leading portfolio of products provides our members with a
fun and engaging way to improve their health and wellness."
A MyBrainSolutions personal dashboard is also available to track
a person’s individual brain health success. Goal setting tools help
set and track long-term goals, including the positive actions and
daily habits that support those goals. The online training is
self-paced, private and can be completed in as little as 10 minutes
a day.
“Clinical evidence clearly demonstrates the correlation between
brain health and physical health,” said Hyong Un, MD, Chief
Psychiatric Officer for Aetna Behavioral Health. “MyBrainSolutions’
unique approach uses the latest knowledge about the interconnected
nature of the brain to provide integrative training that helps
people regulate their emotions, thoughts, and feelings.”
“We have seen significant interest and momentum build around the
concept of brain health,” said Gregory A. Bayer, Ph.D. chief
executive officer of Brain Resource, Inc. “Employers are looking
for better ways to engage employees in wellness programs and
promote resilience, and our solutions fill the gap between wellness
information and action.”
