Most employee wellness programs count steps and send reminders. The cost sits with employees who have high blood pressure, diabetes or weight-related risk, so HealthArc gives them connected devices and a care team that acts on their readings.
The average family premium reached $26,993 in 2025, according to the KFF Employer Health Benefits Survey. That’s up 6% in a year and 26% in five.
Much of that spend traces back to a few conditions.
That’s where to look.
The CDC reports that 6 in 10 U.S. adults live with at least one chronic disease, and nearly half of adults have high blood pressure, most of it not under control. Those employees are the ones least likely to sign up for a step challenge, and the ones whose next admission shows up in your claims a year from now.
The healthiest employees sign up for challenges and apps. The ones with uncontrolled conditions rarely do.
A biometric screening flags high blood pressure in March. Nobody checks it again until next March.
Employees won’t share health data if they think their manager will see it.
By the time costs show up in the claims run, the admission has already happened.
Devices that work out of the box, a care team that follows up, and reporting your benefits team can act on.

SMS, phone, email or portal. We reach people the way they respond, which is what keeps engagement going past the first month.
The devices connect over cellular, so there’s no app to install and no pairing to troubleshoot.

The platform flags which employees need coaching or a follow-up call, based on their own readings rather than a generic risk score.
Acting on that list early is what keeps sick days and claims down later, because the employee whose blood pressure has crept up for three straight weeks is a phone call today and, left alone, an emergency room visit and a week off work in a few months.

Keep what works. HealthArc connects to your existing health solution and adds real device data to it.
It sits alongside your health plan, on-site or near-site clinic and wellness platform.
These are the conditions where a reading at home changes what happens next.
| Condition | What the employee uses | What the care team does |
|---|---|---|
| High blood pressure | Cellular blood pressure cuff | Reviews readings, coaches on medication and lifestyle, refers high readings to the employee’s doctor |
| Type 2 diabetes | Cellular glucometer or CGM | Watches glucose trends and follows up when control slips |
| Weight management | Cellular scale | Tracks progress and supports nutrition and activity goals |
| Heart failure | Scale and blood pressure cuff | Flags rapid weight gain, an early sign of fluid buildup |
| COPD | Pulse oximeter | Watches oxygen levels and symptoms between visits |

Employees get devices and a care team. HR gets program reporting. Clinical detail stays with the people providing care.
HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 Type II. Employer reporting is aggregate, so individual employees’ readings stay with the care team and the employee’s own doctor.
Questions from HR, benefits and finance teams.
| The question | Our answer |
|---|---|
| Will we see individual employees’ health data? | No. You get aggregate reporting on enrollment, engagement and population trends. Individual readings stay with the care team and the employee’s doctor. |
| Do employees need a smartphone? | No. The devices have a built-in cellular connection, so readings arrive without an app or Wi-Fi. |
| Does it replace our wellness platform? | No. It plugs into the program you already run and adds device data and a care team to it. |
| Does it work for a self-insured employer? | Yes. Self-insured employers see the effect most directly, because avoided claims are their own money. |
| How fast can we launch? | About 30 days from agreement to the first employees enrolled. |
| Can we try it first? | Yes. We’ll ship you a device and set you up on the portal before you commit to anything. |
