Reperio Health, the only provider of at-home and onsite biometric screenings with instant results, announced a strategic partnership with Springbuk, the leading health intelligence platform for employers and benefits advisors. By integrating Reperio’s full service biometric screening experience with insights from the Springbuk Activate partner marketplace, the solution will enhance healthcare outcomes through data-driven insights and personalized care.
The Springbuk Activate marketplace matches employers with possible partners based on their population's health needs or risks, showing them potential opportunities in savings and program engagement – all in one place.
"Reperio's innovative at-home and onsite health screening services bring convenience and timeliness to our employees,” said Joy Powell, CEO of Springbuk. “The instant results and metrics-driven insights empower our employer and broker clients and their members to take control of their wellness, marking a significant shift towards preventive care."
Reperio worked with Springbuk to develop a customized “card” within the Springbuk application that identifies the number of members in the employer’s population who may qualify for Reperio’s annual biometric screening program and a 12-month savings opportunity estimate based on assumptions of program success.
“We are excited to partner with Springbuk to offer their members an integrative, secure and easy-to-use biometric health screening kit,” said Travis Rush, CEO and co-founder of Reperio Health. “It’s our expressed intent to help them — and thousands of others — prioritize their preventive health with actionable insights.
