Healthcare Technology and News: MYTRAK Intros Mobile Version of its Health Technology Solution


MYTRAK Health System has announced the launch of M (2), the first mobile version of its health technology solution in partnership with the employee benefits program at T4G.

About the size of a credit card, M (2) is based on the global track record of SuccessCoach, a personalized health and fitness coach that uses "Red, Yellow and Green" lights to engage and motivate users.

This small sleek and intelligent device is programmed with each individual's unique health and fitness goals. It can be worn anywhere, at home or at work while it continuously learn and adapt to the users lifestyle and activities.

Acting as a mobile health coach, the device provides accurate and useful feedback in real-time. M (2) challenges each user and thus keeps them on track to reach their fitness goals.

T4G is a project-based, full-service professional services company that delivers IT consulting services through a federation of operating business units. The company was chosen for this partnership because of their commitment to employee health and wellness, noted Reed Hanoun, president and founder of MYTRAK.

Hanoun appreciates T4G for being recognized as one of the Top 50 companies to work for in Canada for the second straight year. Both partners share a like-minded approach to finding innovative ways to help people get and stay fit.

“Our commitment to our people is reflected in the quality and forward-thinking nature of the work we do for our customers,” said Dennis Brink, VP team recruitment, T4G. “The fuel for our business is our employee’s talent and energy and this drives innovation. As well, to find and keep the best employees, we have programs in place to help them find balance, stay healthy and enjoy life. M (2) caught our attention right away. We were eager to participate and make it available for all of our staff members.”

MYTRAK helps users around the globe reach and sustain commitments to health and fitness. The company informs that more than 1.2 million members are currently using MYTRAK solutions, and believes this increases M (2)’s chances for success.

Hanoun notes their company’s research that predicts M (2) to become the fastest-growing product in the health and wellness industry. MYTRAK is working with health organizations in Canada and the U.S. who have validated the technology and who will participate in their global launch currently scheduled for late summer.
