The Vitality programme is designed to help you get healthier. It has been proven that you can make a significant impact on your health when you take steps to change your lifestyle. In order to reward you for the steps you are taking to get healthier, in 2017 we are enhancing some of our assessments and screenings to be more personalised, and aligned to positive health outcomes, and we have updated the Vitality points structures.
We will be introducing the following updates in 2017: 1) Vitality status threshold changes The initial steps in embarking on a journey towards good health have high health benefits for you.
All online assessments will be consolidated into one integrated Vitality Age assessment, and you can now earn 2 500 Vitality points for finding out your Vitality Age. This means that the Online Fitness Assessment and Mental Wellbeing Assessments will be falling away. 3) Earn more points with the Vitality Health Check The Vitality Health Check has been enhanced. It will now be made up of 5 measures (including blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol, a weight assessment and signing a non-smokers declaration), and you can earn up to 20 000 Vitality points depending on how many results are in range. During the course of 2017, at risk members will be able to have an HbA1c and/or a Lipogram test as part of the Vitality Health Check so that we can detect diabetes and cardiovascular disease early, and manage it effectively. 4) Updates to the Vitality Fitness Assessment The Vitality Fitness Assessment will become a more in-depth and tailored assessment, allowing for personalised feedback on your fitness and mobility.
Our new weight loss programme, Vitality Weight Loss Rewards, will be replacing the traditional Vitality Nutrition Consultation. This programme will incentivise members whose BMI and waist circumference are out of range to lose weight over a series of 12-week cycles. These members can earn up to 11 050 points per year.
Because we are focusing on evidence-based incentives, points for activities which have no or low correlation to health outcomes have been removed or reduced. This includes reducing points for certain kids’ assessments. Be sure to take your kids for all their vaccinations, and get them active too to earn more points. Remember, healthy kids become healthy adults. 7) Points for members over 60 Given that effective screening is critical for the early detection of, and intervention in, lifestyle-related conditions. From 2017, members over 60 will have the ability to earn up to 5 000 additional points for completing certain screenings and having certain vaccinations. 8) Managing Diabetes A new and specialised programme called DiabetesCare has been designed to provide well-coordinated care for people with diabetes. This will help you manage your condition, reduce the risk of complications, improve your health and prolong your life.
The introduction of Vitality Weight Loss Rewards and DiabetesCare will replace the existing Lose Weight and Manage Diabetes Personal Health Programmes that we have. Healthy Heart will also be falling away from 2017. If you are currently on a Personal Health Programme, you will receive information on your next steps.
