| The science behind health and fitness management initiatives
As part of our mission to advance science-based knowledge in the health and fitness industry, HealthFitness has formed a Research Development Outcomes (RDO) division. The RDO division and its accomplished management team are working to provide a scientific foundation to guide the development of innovative and effective solutions that benefit our clients, participants, and the health and fitness industry. Under the leadership of our Chief Medical Officer, Jim Reynolds, M.D., our RDO division is actively advancing the industry’s understanding of outcomes and measurement in the areas of:
 |
Health risk trending and analysis for groups and individuals |
 |
Population-based predictive modeling and measurement of behavior change and motivation techniques |
 |
Health care cost/avoidance projections |
 |
Program outcomes measurement and reporting |
The findings from our RDO division benefit clients every day through more precise outcomes measurement, more appropriate product and service recommendations, and insight into new motivational trends.
To ensure quality and relevance of our products and services, we also draw on the knowledge of our Science Advisory Board. These independent professionals are nationally-recognized experts in areas such as nutrition and obesity, exercise and fitness, behavior change, outcomes research and managed care. |
