Carlson Selects OneHealth™ to Support New Employee Tobacco Cessation Program

SOLANA BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OneHealth™ Solutions, Inc., the leading behavior change platform company improving health outcomes for patients, providers, payors and employers, today announced that Carlson, a privately held global hospitality and travel company, has launched OneHealth as part of the company’s “Be Well” employee wellness program to aid in tobacco cessation.

“We are excited to introduce our peer-supported behavioral change platform to Carlson’s employee wellness program”

Carlson’s tobacco cessation program is a free and voluntary program to help employees quit tobacco in any form, including cigarettes, pipes, cigars and smokeless tobacco. The program is available to select benefit-eligible employees and their spouses/domestic partners.

“We are excited to introduce our peer-supported behavioral change platform to Carlson’s employee wellness program,” said Bruce Springer, CEO, OneHealth. “Peer to peer interaction through use of our integrated health communities with others experiencing the same health issues can significantly influence personal behavior to improve health outcomes.”

Carlson employees can access OneHealth’s private, HIPAA-compliant online and mobile platform to interact 24/7 with members in tobacco-specific social health communities, such as Tobacco Free and Nicotine Anonymous. In addition to peer support from members interested in eliminating tobacco from their lives, employees can manage their health utilizing personal analytics and feedback loops, including emotional check-ins and alerts for real-time interventions.

Carlson employees can also participate in OneHealth's complete Social Solutioning® platform, which provides support for a wide range of chronic behavioral and medical conditions including alcohol addiction, depression, stress reduction, obesity, and caregiver/family support.

OneHealth has four patents pending for its innovative integration of evidence-based clinical principles into social networking solutions.
