Choosing a wellness vendor is not just about checkboxes. It is about who can help your team make measurable impact with less lift. While Vitality drives engagement through rewards and incentives, Avidon Health focuses on lasting behavior change through coaching, CBT-based courses, and intelligent automation.

Avidon Health is not affiliated with Vitality or Discovery Limited. All feature descriptions are based on publicly available information as of March 2026.
Rewards get people to sign up. Behavior change gets them to stay. Vitality's points-and-rewards model drives initial engagement, but the RAND Corporation found that average wellness participation is just 20–35%, a number that incentives alone struggle to sustain. Avidon takes a different approach with CBT-based courses and certified coaching, methods that a 2024 Wiley review found effective at reducing sick leave and improving mental health outcomes long-term. And the ROI holds up: a Wellhub study found that 95% of companies measuring wellness returns see positive results, with each dollar returning $3.27 in healthcare savings. The average company invests $650 per employee per year in wellness. Make sure those dollars go to a program that creates lasting change.
