Digital health and wellness tools provide flexibility and accessibility, but they can also present risk. 

“With so many organizations entering into the digital health and wellness market, we need proof that these solutions actually improve people’s health and well-being, It’s time to take a look at how we define success, and create a shared vision of what a high-quality, high-impact program looks like.”
