VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wellteq Digital Health Inc. (CSE: WTEQ), (the “Company” or Wellteq”), is pleased to announce the Company has launched a comprehensive health and wellness solution in cooperation with Garmin International, Inc., a unit of Garmin (NASDAQ:GRMN) and Singapore health and fitness leader UFIT.

As employers in a growing number of countries are welcoming their employees back to office environments, they can now take innovative approaches to helping protect the health of their staff with a range of individual wellbeing and organizational benefits. The combined services of Wellteq’s employee wellness platform, Garmin wearables and UFIT’s virtual and in-person health and fitness services – including group classes and 1:1 training sessions – caters to almost all employee wellness preferences and needs. Supporting the health and wellbeing of employees has never been more important as we return to a new normalcy and start to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wellteq CEO, Scott Montgomery, stated, “Corporate wellness has long been offered in silos, but we’re now able to integrate analog fitness services with Wellteq’s digital wellness platform and Garmin wearables for a hybrid solution that meets the needs of everyone. Some people prefer exercise in a group setting for motivation, while others prefer to exercise at home for privacy. However, almost everyone wants insights based on data from their wearable. Garmin wearables are renowned for their best-in-class quality hardware and data. Wellteq is delighted to integrate its platform with Garmin and UFIT for a truly holistic offering. Thanks to Wellteq’s privacy settings, we can share anonymized, data-driven insights to our client administrator and optimize the offering for client employees. It is a win-win for everyone. We are extremely excited at the prospects this combined platform offers across the region and internationally.”

“We are excited about the expansion of Wellteq’s platform to incorporate more Garmin wearable data via integration of the Health API, from activity details, steps, sleep, heart rate and stress,” said Karthik Jayaseelan, Garmin’s South East Asia & India Sales Manager. “This new platform will help employees manage their wellbeing and track their personal progress through training sessions.”

UFIT CEO Will Skinner stated, “We are enormously excited to have launched this groundbreaking corporate initiative, especially during a time with so many ‘unknowns’. Throughout the whole process, it was essential that we stayed true to our vision of housing the world’s most vibrant health and fitness community, and via our integrated approach combining: Wellteq’s 24/7 connectivity, Garmin’s supreme health data, and our gym facility and community management experience, we have been able to build a holistic program that is now thriving in the ever-adjusting office environment we see today.”
