Limeade Releases Wellness Bundle at Microsoft HealthVault Conference
Company showcases unique health care offering available
due to HealthVault relationship
BELLEVUE, Wash., June 9, 2008 – Limeade, Inc., an online employee wellness company, today
released its Wellness Bundle at Microsoft’s HealthVault Solutions Conference. The Wellness Bundle is a
complete, plug-and play offering focusing on improving employee health, wellness and productivity. It
includes Limeade’s Employee Vitality service in conjunction with Microsoft HealthVault, Physicians
Wellness Network webLAB™ general wellness lab testing services, Polar Electro heart rate monitors and
Omron® Healthcare pedometers.
“Employers are looking for cohesive wellness solutions that engage employees, provide actionable
information and ultimately build a culture of performance,” said Henry Albrecht, Limeade’s Founder and
CEO. “Utilizing HealthVault, our Wellness Bundle helps us provide employers and employees with an
integrated solution that just works.”
Limeade’s newly offered Wellness Bundle brings together leading wellness solutions, and also is
adaptable to any other HealthVault-compatible service. Using the HealthVault platform, private health
data from these services can be securely shared with Limeade, enabling targeted improvement plans,
easier goal-tracking, and ultimately improved wellness and workplace productivity.
Limeade brings together its evidence-based assessment and improvement system with biometric health
screening data from Physicians Wellness Network (webLAB) to create the most accurate picture of an
individual’s overall well-being. Then, to help each person accomplish the goals they set, Limeade
connects with physical activity data from a Polar heart rate monitor or an Omron pedometer. Information
flows back into Limeade through HealthVault, making tracking life-changing health goals as easy as going
for a walk.
“Our pedometers make it easier for people to monitor their daily progress toward achieving a healthier
lifestyle.” said Ranndy Kellogg, Vice President Marketing and Product Development for Omron. “They’re a
plug-and-play part of an effective wellness program.”
“Regardless of one’s age or athletic ability, a Polar heart rate monitor enables a person to exercise at the
right intensity level to achieve their health and fitness goals,” said Jeff Padovan, President of Polar.
“PWN’s webLAB makes it safe, easy and affordable for HealthVault users to order general wellness lab
tests,” said John Eastman, business development for Physicians Wellness Network. “Consumers no
longer need to go through the lengthy and often expensive process of scheduling multiple doctor
appointments.”
HealthVault is a free Web-based platform designed to put people in control of their health data. It helps
them collect, store and share health information with family members and participating healthcare
providers, and it provides people with a choice of third-party applications and devices to help them
manage things such as fitness, diet and health. HealthVault also provides a privacy- and security-enhanced

wellness device manufactures to health associations—can build innovative new health and wellness
management solutions to help put people in control of their and their family’s health.
