The content for our programs are based on the Mediterranean lifestyle. The delivery for that content is provided through a custom portal that we build with the wellness lead at each company so that the program provided is the most meaningful for their workforce. Whether it is managing stress, improving sleep, or enhancing nutrition, our targeted approach aims to empower individuals with the knowledge and resources they need to make lasting, lifestyle changes.
Our content includes wellness education, biometric care guides, health coaching, and an extensive array of challenges in nutrition, activity, mindfulness, and weight management. The breadth of this content and delivery allows more people more ways to apply the principles of Mediterranean Wellness to their life each day.
The underlying philosophy of our work extends from the principles of the Mediterranean approach to nutrition, diet, stress, and activity. This content is based on the published works of founder Dr. Will Clower and woven into the fabric of every program you receive with us.
We created the MedWell platform from the ground up to minimize clicks for an ease of use that creates an enjoyable experience. This makes our participants more likely to engage to start with, participate in programs as they go, and follow through to the end.

A library of informative videos
This is a core capability for Mediterranean Wellness. Programs are offered in 5 different categories of: Lifestyle Programs, Disease Management Programs, Webinars, Cooking Demos, and Mindful Minutes.
Lifestyle and Disease Management Programs
The breadth of this content is delivered across learning modality with videos, daily audios, and written program manuals for expert guidance. Multi-week disease management programs can complement the work done by health coaching, enhancing participant learning throughout their wellness journey.
Webinars
Webinars cover a range of topics from nutrition, fitness, nutrition, mindfulness, weight management, and preventive care and include quizzes at the end of each webinar.
Cooking Demos and Mindful Minutes
Cooking demos are some of our most popular programs where you not only learn to cook an amazing dish, but all learn about the benefits of the foods you are cooking with. We also offer Mindful Minutes that include 5-10 minute meditations as well as our Take 12 series which gives every day practices in dealing with stress.
Biometric Self-care
A secure and user-friendly system
MedWell keeps members on top of their health metrics with our biometric tracking tools. We securely upload biometric data from physicians, screening organizations, and even on-site screening solutions.
Members can also easily enter and update their biometrics such as blood pressure, BMI and glucose. We provide tracking tools for them as well so they can see their trend in real time, email a health coach, and use our extensive Resource Library to help them stay on track and achieve their goals.
The Heart Age Calculator delivers the algorithms of the 50+ year long Framingham Heart Study to reveal your real heart age. This tool is utilized by the employee and also their health coaches to see which lifestyle habits may be impacting their real heart age. With this information, participants can consult our extensive library of actionable solutions to reverse course and improve their long-term heart health.
For your culture of health
MedWell tools create an engine of engagement through the three key elements that will motivate your population.
Incentive Management
Our Mojo Points incentive management system engages members through multiple ways: a points-based system or an activity-completion based system.
Our dashboard makes it easy for members to see what activities are awarded, how much they receive for completion, and how many points they need to receive their incentive award.
We offer a leaderboard for point-based programs for those employees that like a little competition so that they can see where they stand compared to the other employees within their company.
Café Well Peer-to-Peer Platform
Through our Café Well platform, people can create and interact on threaded conversations monitored by our lead Registered Dietitian in the wellness subject of their interest.
Peer-to-peer relationships are a potent form of internal motivation. The key is that when friends are engaged, you're far more likely to jump in with them.
Café Well also gives them multiple health topics to drill down into, finally reaching the areas they care about the most: in cooking, mindfulness, fitness, and weight management.
Mediterranean Wellness gives you the confidence of knowing you have a steady partner to achieve all your wellness goals.
Some wellness strategies simply park an ambulance at the bottom of the cliff, wait for the calamity to happen, and then pay for the healthcare cleanup afterwards.
The MedGuard strategy takes a different approach, by building guardrails at the top to prevent those catastrophic health issues and costs before they happen.
Don't park an ambulance
at the bottom of a cliff,
Build guardrails at the top.
MedGuard starts with the industry standard in advanced predictive analytics. These data help understand where your population is starting from - for clinical risks, and also healthcare costs. But these go further by also predicting what future claims costs you can expect.
That means you can “see around corners,” and anticipate the health hazards before they arrive. In other words, these predictive analytics allow you to be proactive, not reactive.
MedGuard also pulls in employee gaps in care and provides reminders for them to get the care they need. These are exactly the guardrails they need to prevent catastrophic conditions before they progress to a higher risk level.
Many disease management approaches address those at the highest risk levels. Unfortunately this does nothing to prevent the inevitable erosion of company health from low risk into medium risk, and medium risk into high risk.
MedGuard integrates behavioral, biometric, and claims data to create specific programs for all members, regardless of risk level. For those at low risk, our programs keep the healthy people health. For those at medium risk, they prevent their slide into the high risk category. And for those at highest risk, we provide the care coordination they need to pull back from the brink and into the healthy lane again.
By integrating all these data, MedGuard can deliver programs specific to each person's needs. This means we provide programs that your employees already want, and will be much more likely to complete.
Everyone gets their own program, based on their behavioral habits, their biometric profile, and claims history. This level of customization is exactly what will prevent the chronic disease conditions that, little by little, erode the health of your organization from the inside out.
This is complete
personalized programming,
at scale.
To be effective, clinical care must be informed by all the data. Health coaches need to see biometrics, behavioral analysis, claims data, and a readiness-to-change index. Even the best clinical care providers need a complete dataset, otherwise they just don't have a lot to work with.
That's why MedGuard provides all the data needed for a complete picture so the care coaches can guide individuals who need it most, becoming a true accountability partner in health.
MedGuard also provides a readiness-to-change index that is invaluable. This takes your clinical care to an entirely new level, with the ability to understand not just the biometric profile, but the motivational state of the individual.
Silos are barriers.
MedGuard removes these by
integrating wellness with clinical care.
What if a clinician could actually prescribe wellbeing programs, follow up on those, and use those outcomes to inform the care they provide? What a breakthrough in disease management that would be.
Our Coaching Station does exactly that, allowing RNs to enhance their professional counseling with the wellbeing programs that support and extend their work. When the nurse prescribes programs in our Coaching Station, they show up on the users' dashboard, with mojo point incentives, along with a personalized care plan.
This breaks down the barriers between clinical care and wellbeing programs so they are mutually reinforcing, dramatically improving the care for the individual.
