Vitality is the leading wellness platform for behavioral changes, which uses the power of incentives, data and behavioral economics to inspire individuals and organizations to live a healthier life. Its launch is exclusively presented together with Prudential Seguros, the first company that includes it as a supplement to its insurance policies.

Vitality is a personalized and engaging program that can be accessed through a fun-to-use mobile application. Members receive a personalized goal each week and activities are recorded through a smartphone or activity tracker that measures steps and/or heartrate. As members meet their physical activity goals they can earn weekly rewards.

"We're thrilled to be able to offer Vitality's powerful behavior change platform, to the people of Argentina. We're committed to making people healthier around the globe and welcome the opportunity to extend our footprint in South America." Says Alan Pollard, Vitality Group President of Product Innovation

Vitality rewards the achievements of its members with weekly rewards such as movie tickets (Cinemark / Hoyts / Cinemacenter), coffees (Starbucks / Café Martinez), and urban travel vouchers (Cabify); monthly prizes of 20% discounts on the purchase of a Garmin device and the possibility of getting up to 100% refund on its purchase; an annual reward of up to 12% on the annual premium of their Prudential Life Insurance Policy.

In Argentina, Prudential Seguros, a life insurance industry leader, is the first company to offer membership to the Vitality Program, included as a benefit and supplement to its insurance policies. "This alliance allows us to reinforce our goal aimed at the Total Welfare of our clients, which includes not only protecting them financially, ensuring their future and for their families, but also ensuring that they live longer and better. In this case, through a leading global welfare program. Indeed, this adds value to the communities in which we operate as well as contributes to reducing the cost of the insurance" stated Mauricio Zanatta, President and CEO of Prudential Seguros.

The launch is taking place in Buenos Aires with the participation of the Argentinean brand ambassadors: former Olympic swimmer José Meolans and sports journalist Catu Bonadeo. The press conference will be hosted by Juan Pablo Varsky and the launch cocktail will be conducted by Sergio Lapegüe.

From May 2020, Vitality will be also available to companies through Wellcorp, with the aim of improving the productivity and commitment of employees through the enhancement of their health, which also will impact in companies' profitability.

According to the World Health Organization, one of the four risk factors that lead to four chronic diseases (cardiovascular, respiratory, cancer and diabetes) is physical inactivity - along with an unbalanced diet, tobacco use and excessive alcohol consumption. In Argentina, 67.76% of deaths are caused by one of these factors. Vitality encourages positive changes in their members through an active life in order to overcome a sedentary lifestyle.
