Wellco's health tracking software a successful, adds positions

Royal Oak-based Wellco isn't a provider these days as much as it is a fixer when it comes to improving the health of Metro Detroit's workforce.

"We have become much less a wellness provider and more of a company that fixes wellness programs," says Scott Foster, president of Wellco. "Wellness has become such a hot topic but companies have no idea whether their programs are effective or not."

Wellco has developed software and programs for companies to document and track the health of their employees. The idea is to create a healthier, more productive workforce that ultimately saves significant sums of money in medical costs, both in the short- and long-term.

Its newest technology, HealthHammer, helps its customers benchmark, measure, and improve healthy lifestyles. It also gives them the Top 15 health conditions to avoid, such as back pain, diabetes, and depression.

Wellco has avoided its own pitfalls and experienced some healthy growth in the last two years, adding two hires to round its staff out to a dozen people and three independent contractors. It currently has one open position for a wellness specialist and expects to create another five jobs over the next six months.
