Virgin Pulse's strategies revolve around nudging users toward healthier choices through positive feedback and reinforcement. The platform also fosters social support networks—connecting users with colleagues, friends, or family members for motivation and accountability. Additionally, trained coaches partner with individuals to provide personalized guidance.
The platform employs behavioral economics by leveraging financial rewards and other incentives, maintaining user engagement and motivation over the long term. These techniques, rooted in psychological principles, make health behaviors more appealing and sustainable.
