The Alere Health Portal provides employers and health plans with a powerful solution to enhance the health of their employees. The portal is the front door to Alere’s continuum of care - a suite of products and services that can improve outcomes and lower costs for broad populations.

The Health Portal is the front door to Alere’s continuum of healthcare services.

This includes evidence-based wellness programs that help low- to medium-risk individuals stay healthy as well as targeted disease management services for those with chronic conditions. Our experienced wellness consultants work closely with you to develop a powerful portal customized to the needs of your organization.

The Health Portal provides a combination of custom incentives, tailored behavior change programming and market-leading assessment tools unmatched in the marketplace.

A few of our key differentiators include:

  • One-stop destination for participant engagement. All content and tools that appear on the portal are designed to engage participants and promote healthier behaviors.
  • Smart technology for cost-effective solutions. The portal serves as the online hub for a wide range of healthcare-related activities, services and resources.
  • Seamless integration. The portal integrates with client and third-party Web sites in a ‘plug and play’ manner using single sign-on and data exchange technologies.
  • Customized solutions. A broad range of tailored content, tools and resources can be organized and prioritized based on your organization’s goals. The portal provides a range of custom solutions from simple co-branding to highly customized private labeling with integrated design specifications.
  • Flexible offerings. The wellness portal's packaged solutions are based on client needs. Wellness programs can be offered as a “stand-alone” or packaged with Disease Management or Health Coaching.
  • Behavior change programs. The portal is the key vehicle for participants to access Alere’s Healthy Living Programs (HLPs). These evidence-based programs provide clinical expertise to encourage lasting behavior changes for low- and medium-risk participants.

Your participants are encouraged to begin using the portal by taking our custom Health and Productivity Assessment (HPA), which identifies their specific risk factors. Once stratified, participants can immediately gain access to tailored interventions that can help them manage their health and achieve positive outcomes.

The data from the assessment is used to develop an Action Plan with recommended programs based on the participant’s goals, risks and preferences. Individuals at higher risk may also be identified for more robust interventions such as telephonic health coaching and disease management.

The Health Portal delivers cutting-edge technology and trusted market-leading content to facilitate personalized interventions that drive changes in behavior. Providing access to the broad-based resources of the portal demonstrates a commitment to the enhanced health of an organization’s population.
