Sharecare announced the launch of Get Active, a new program to help employers encourage exercise among their workforces in a fun, approachable, and accessible way, using the immersive power of virtual reality (VR). In a pilot with its customer Lennar Corporation, one of the nation's leading homebuilders, Sharecare's Get Active program for Meta Quest 2 yielded strong results for both healthy and high-risk Associates. In addition to the immediate health benefits of physical activity including improved sleep quality and reduced anxiety and blood pressure it can help reduce and prevent the risk of chronic disease.
Regular exercise also has been shown to reverse pre-diabetes, which according to the CDC, more than 1 in 3 American adults have; and, of those with prediabetes, more than 80% are unaware they have it.
