Biometric screenings serve as a catalyst to build personal health awareness and trigger health action. However, lack of access to a biometric screening is a main contributor to suboptimal participation in many programs. Optum has removed the access roadblock by offering convenient ways to capture biometrics for your total population.
Multiple screening modalities give access to your entire population
Optum’s screening modalities include onsite events, at-home finger stick kits, health provider screening forms and a lab visit option, which can be sold as standalone or added to any onsite event.
Registration Site brings all screening options together in one platform
Our secure and convenient site simplifies the registration process. Employees access their employer specific registration site where they can select a biometric modality, register for a screening, schedule/change an appointment and access FAQs.
Biometric data integration
Biometric data is integrated into Optum’s health management platforms, including our health risk assessment, personal health record, health trackers, wellness coaching and disease management programs.
