Fireside Chat: How Connected Devices Prove Program Value in Months, Not Years

Join us LIVE for a 30 minute discussion and 15 minute Q&A with the audience.

ABOUT THIS EVENT

Employers typically wait 18 to 24 months for claims data to show whether a health program is working. By then, renewal decisions have been made and most of the members who were going to disengage already have.

Connected devices change that timeline. A connected scale shows who is engaged, who is progressing, and who is at risk of dropping off within the first six months, long before a single claim matures.

Enrollment gets attention, but long-term engagement is what creates value. As expectations shift beyond weight loss toward prevention, productivity and cost reduction, digital health organizations have to rethink how programs are designed to drive lasting impact, and how they prove it early.

Join Sadie Morahan of Withings Health Solutions and Stephanie Blauwkamp of 9amHealth for a candid fireside chat on what early engagement data reveals, and how to turn it into the evidence employers and benefits leaders are asking for at renewal.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

• Why claims data arrives too late to steer a program, and which connected-device signals show up in the first weeks and months instead
• What 9amHealth member data shows about early, frequent weigh-ins and 12-month outcomes
• New findings from Withings' 2026 survey of 4,000+ connected GLP-1 patients, including the month-6 churn cliff and how data keeps members on treatment at the plateau
• How expectations have shifted from weight loss alone to cardiometabolic risk, avoided spend and productivity
• The early-evidence questions every employer, broker and program leader should ask a vendor before claims data arrives
• Honest lessons from both organizations on what didn't work, and what it changed
