Conceive, Evernow, FitOn, Nurx, Cove, and
Nutrium Join as Founding Members to Support the Coalition’s Focus
on Expanding Access to Women-Centered Healthcare Resources in the
Workplace
Today, on the International Day of Action for Women's Health,
Talkspace (NASDAQ: TALK), a leading online behavioral health care
company, and Ovia Health by Labcorp, a digital health solution for
women, families and family-building, announced the launch of the
Women’s Health Coalition for Digital Solutions. Co-led by
Talkspace and Ovia Health, this coalition brings
together a founding group of member companies, including
Conceive, Evernow, FitOn, Nurx, Cove, and
Nutrium, to leverage technology, innovation, and
collaboration to advance women’s health and well-being by
holistically addressing their diverse health needs.
The Women’s Health Coalition aims to advance women’s health
through technology-driven solutions, education, and advocacy.
Through its member companies’ platforms, the Coalition will
collaborate to:
- Facilitate communication and collaboration among member
platforms to enhance the integration of women's health services
through enhancing employer benefits coverage.
- Advocate for workplaces that promote women's health equity and
access to comprehensive healthcare, starting with their own
employees.
- Provide public resources and support to employers and
organizations to empower women to take control of their health and
wellness journey.
- Promote awareness and destigmatization of women's health issues
through thought leadership and focused initiatives.
- Foster innovation in women's health technology by encouraging
research and development.
Out-of-pocket healthcare costs for employed women in the U.S.
are estimated to be $15 billion higher per year than for employed
men, according to a Deloitte analysis. Additionally, more than
one-third of U.S. women report they have skipped needed medical
care because of high costs, according to a Commonwealth Fund study.
A recent McKinsey Health Institute report found that closing the
gender health gap could reduce the time women spend in poor health
by almost two-thirds and add up to $1 trillion to the economy
annually by 2040. Enhancing workplace benefits for women is a key
way of addressing the care gap, and a Morning Consult survey found
that a majority of women saw that health and wellness programs and
mental health resources are a workplace benefit that is “very” or
“somewhat” important to them.
“Talkspace and the charter members of the Women’s Health
Coalition have come together to help create a world where every
woman has access to high-quality, holistic healthcare tailored to
her unique needs,” said Natalie Cummins, Chief Business Officer at
Talkspace. “Recognizing the connectedness of mental and physical
health, as well as the market demand for comprehensive women’s
health solutions, the Coalition furthers our mission to make mental
health care more accessible by collaborating with the preeminent
women's health leaders in the digital health space.”
“Ovia Health is committed to providing women with the tools and
personalized resources they need to make informed decisions about
their health,” said Corrinne Hobbs, General Manager and Vice
President, Ovia Health Employer Enterprise & Strategic
Partnerships. “We are proud to join forces with Talkspace and other
leading digital health platforms to form the Women’s Health
Coalition for Digital Solutions. Together, we will work to promote
accessibility, affordability and empowerment in women’s
healthcare.”
