Good Blue Cross Blues Shield of Michigan offers new online
wellness resources from BlueHealthConnection 06/15/07
In January, the Blues expanded BlueHealthConnection
with additional online wellness features that give members
an integrated total health and wellness program at their fingertips.
Here's a look at BlueHealthConnection's online health improvement
resources designed to help you achieve your healthy lifestyle
goals, modify lifestyle behaviors and reduce your risk for
disease.
-
Personal wellness information
Members receive up to three programs that could most benefit
them based on the results of their Health Risk Appraisal.
Topics include fitness, nutrition, weight loss and cholesterol
and stress management.
-
Online health coach
Members have access to online resources to help them set
and meet their personal health goals.
- Online
tracking tools
Members can track their exercise, weight, stress levels
and walking distance by logging their activities. They can
also view graphs that show their progress over the past
days, weeks and months.
- Personal
health record
Members can organize their health information, such as medications,
clinical tests and doctor visits in an easy-to-print report
they can share with their doctors.
-
Interactive calculators
Members can learn their key numbers using interactive calculators
for body mass index, calories burned, target heart rate
and the cost of smoking.
- Other
interactive tools
These include a food portion sizer, a personal food pyramid
and exercise demonstrations that can help members discover
important facts about their health.
These
enhancements, along with all the programs offered through
BlueHealthConnection, play a key role in helping you become
a more informed and empowered health consumer.
