Limeade Selected to Demonstrate the Collaborative Power of
Microsoft HealthVault

Company to showcase its integrative health and productivity offering at Microsoft
HealthVault Solutions Conference

BELLEVUE, Wash., June 9, 2008 – Limeade, Inc., an online employee wellness company, was selected as a main stage presenter at Microsoft’s HealthVault Solutions Conference. The Limeade solution will demonstrate how they seamlessly incorporate health assessment, goal tracking, fitness monitoring, biometric screening and additional data from HealthVault partner services into a cohesive user experience—one that boosts employee productivity and helps control employer health spending.

“Effective wellness solutions must be engaging and easy to use–they have to fit with the way people live,” said Henry Albrecht, Limeade’s CEO. “Working with HealthVault helps us deliver an experience that employees not only use but like, and that creates a healthier, happier and more productive workforce for employers. We provide companies with a range of leading devices and services from other HealthVault partners in a seamless, private, secure way.”

“Limeade gives us a glimpse of what is possible with HealthVault. They embody the type of innovation Microsoft loves to support.” said David Cerino, general manager, Microsoft Health Solutions Group. “Limeade fits in well with HealthVault because it connects products and services from like-minded companies passionate about employee health, productivity and performance.”

Limeade was selected for a main stage presentation at the HealthVault Solutions Conference due to its ability to integrate other HealthVault partners’ data in an engaging, easy-to-use interface. Leveraging HealthVault’s secure information sharing capabilities, Limeade brings together previously independent wellness data from services including health coaching, biometric screening and fitness tracking into a cohesive user experience. Employees can view combined health information using Limeade, allowing for better goal setting, targeted improvement plans, and ultimately improved productivity. Employers can use aggregate information to optimize performance or address key health cost drivers—which vary by company.

Limeade’s demonstration during the HealthVault Solutions Conference will show how a typical person might benefit from this approach. The demo combines a Limeade health assessment with blood test data from a biometric screening company to provide people with the most accurate picture of their health. With the assistance of a health coach, a user can then set achievable goals in Limeade’s goal tracking system. Finally, activity data from fitness tracking devices such as Omron™ pedometers and Polar™ heart rate monitors flows through HealthVault to Limeade, making progress tracking as easy as wearing a watch.

“Before HealthVault, bringing together data from disparate health information systems was difficult for us as a small software company, and it was impossible for ordinary people,” said Albrecht. “Now, individuals and companies can gain fresh insights into their health and have access to the tools to start improving.”

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 foundation on which a broad ecosystem of providers—from medical providers and health and 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.
