Health Technologies in the Workplace

Technology is becoming an increasingly prominent part in the lives of modern workers. A simple search of “well-being” in any app store can yield thousands of results, with each application claiming to improve different facets of users’ daily behaviors to lead a healthier lifestyle. To understand more about the value of health technology in organizations, HealthyWorkplaces conducted a literature review of existing health technologies in the marketplace and their corresponding scientific support. By combining academic and commercial sources, we explored the efficacy of different technologies and their use in workplaces for promoting healthy behaviors.  This literature review was conducted by Helen Lee, student researcher, under the guidance of Center Director Cristina Banks and Core Member David Lindeman.
