The data backs it up. According to a 2024 Wellhub study, 95% of companies measuring wellness program ROI see positive returns, with each dollar invested returning $3.27 in healthcare savings. But ROI depends on engagement, and average wellness participation sits at just 20–35% according to the RAND Corporation. That is where methodology matters. Noom uses a consumer weight-loss model. Avidon uses structured behavior change courses grounded in CBT, which a 2024 Wiley systematic review found significantly reduces sick leave and improves employee outcomes. A separate JMIR study showed that digital coaching interventions produce measurable improvements in BMI, cholesterol, and blood pressure. Avidon combines both approaches, coaching and clinical content, in a single platform built for employers, not individual dieters.
