HealthyWage

HealthyWage offers cash-prize weight loss and step challenges designed for both individual consumers and organizations. Its consumer-facing HealthyWager lets participants make a personalized bet on their weight loss with prizes up to $10,000, and the company also runs team-based contests such as the $10,000 Team Challenge and Jackpot Challenges. Public participants may join multiple challenges and use tools like the Prize Calculator to set goals and wagers.

For employers and brands, HealthyWage develops and administers outcomes-based corporate wellness challenges for large public- and private-sector employers, universities, school districts, hospitals, insurers and other organizations. The company says it applies academic research, behavioral economics, social-network effects and technology to design incentive-driven programs and has run initiatives at dozens of Fortune 500 companies and hundreds of other organizations.
