Health Pathfinder by Mercer

Jiff and Mercer have teamed-up to launch personalized health benefits platform called Health Pathfinder by Mercer, which enables employers to leverage the latest health management solutions to cut healthcare costs and cultivate healthier and more engaged employees.

Health Pathfinder by Mercer will encourage actions that help employees utilize their healthcare benefits – and reduce their employers’ healthcare costs.“With more and more innovative health solutions available today – from transparency to telehealth – employers are realizing that they get the most out of their health benefits programs when they become stewards for employees, helping them navigate a complex set of benefits,” said Derek Newell, CEO of Jiff. “Jiff and Mercer have teamed up to change the health benefits landscape by facilitating personalized benefits to help employees reach their health goals and in doing so reducing costs for employers.”

Health Pathfinder by Mercer promises “engaging design, personalized health assessments, and an easy-to-navigate user experience.” The solution utilizes a range of custom-designed health apps, including Mercer-specific plug-in products and content, to provide instant feedback and rewards to employees who use the system. These individualized incentives will motivate employees through a smart, points-based rewards system. The product will encourage actions that help employees utilize their healthcare benefits – and reduce their employers’ healthcare costs.

Earlier this year, Jiff raised a $23.3 million Series C funding round, and has more than doubled its workforce in 2015. Meanwhile, the number of employees served by Jiff’s platform has increased ten-fold.
