Aetna medical members now have a new personalized way to encourage
healthy actions every day and achieve better health. The Attain by AetnaSMapp, the first-of-its-kind health experience
designed in collaboration with Apple, is now available for download in the
Apple App store.
Attain is unique because it’s built for people like you and
me – not elite athletes, but people who could use a nudge every now and then to
take simple actions each day to lead a healthier life. Health isn’t one size
fits all, and Attain provides recommendations personalized for you.
The Attain program offers daily and weekly activity goals, and
then rewards you when those goals are achieved. More than just steps taken, the
app tracks other activities that improve overall health and are measured by the
Apple Watch, such as getting more sleep, improving nutrition and being more
mindful. In a little more than three months, almost 300 Attain users in our
pilot burned more than 4.3 million calories! Additionally, the app uses
your health history to create tailored notifications based on clinical
guidelines that help you stay on top of key health moments such as refilling
prescriptions, getting preventative vaccinations like the flu shot, scheduling
annual primary care visits or finding lower-cost options for lab tests when
needed.
Attain was built from the ground up to protect user privacy and
data. Users consent to the use of their data in Attain with a very
straightforward, plain-language consent process. Information collected and used
in Attain will never be used for underwriting, premium or coverage decisions.
Users who change their mind can stop participating and opt-out at any time.
Achieving your best health is important. CVS Health wants to make
getting personal support in health care simpler, more affordable and
convenient. With tailored app notifications combined with the technology of the
Apple Watch, you can receive the support you need to more easily incorporate
healthy actions into your everyday life. We are truly excited to be able to
share Attain more broadly.
Aetna medical members who would like to learn more can visit AttainbyAetna.com and
