WeightWatchers (NASDAQ: WW), (“WeightWatchers,” “WW,” or the
“Company”) today announced that WeightWatchers for Business is
partnering with Personify Health (formerly Virgin Pulse) to
support employers looking to provide weight health care solutions
for their populations. Now, organizations using the Personify
Health personalized health platform will have integrated access to

individualized pathways according to true clinical need.
“Obesity is a serious and costly, yet common issue. Employers
are well-positioned to play an important role in helping their
employees manage their weight and improve their overall health, but
they can’t go it alone,” said Jeffrey Jacques, MD, chief medical

latest research and science, and we recognize their recent
innovations to provide scalable and flexible health solutions that
address key aspects of weight health. We’re proud to add
WeightWatchers for Business to our partner ecosystem, providing an
array of tools to help members achieve their desired personalized
weight health and cardiometabolic goals.”

sustained outcomes, as well as weight health behavioral programs
tailored to those living with diabetes and those on GLP-1
medications.
- Access to virtual clinic care and medication management for
those eligible, including GLP-1s and other anti-obesity
medications, when appropriate and based on employer coverage, under
the guidance of board-certified clinicians as well as registered
dietitians, fitness specialists, and care coordinators.
- Robust virtual and real-life communities and coaching support
at scale.

analysis.
