The CVS / ActiveHealth Management Platform: Seamgen’s Cutting-Edge Software Transformation Nominated at the Netty Awards

The Netty Awards proudly announces Seamgen, in collaboration with CVS/ActiveHealth, as a nominee for Best Employee Engagement Software. Through the revitalization of the ActiveHealth Management (AHM) platform, Seamgen has redefined the approach to employee engagement in the healthcare sector. Their work on transforming a legacy system into a modern, user-first platform reflects a forward-thinking approach to not only healthcare but also employee engagement. Powered by a .NET Core microservices architecture and a responsive React frontend, this nomination celebrates Seamgen’s success in delivering a scalable, inclusive, and engaging software solution tailored to improve the health and engagement of employees.

Innovation and Differentiation

Seamgen’s transformation of the ActiveHealth Management (AHM) platform highlights their unique ability to modernize outdated systems while simultaneously improving employee engagement. The key innovation lies in the platform’s shift from a monolithic structure to a microservices-based architecture, which enhances scalability, flexibility, and performance.

What makes AHM particularly distinct is its focus on empowering employees, especially those facing complex health and social challenges. Traditional wellness tools often lack personalized features, but AHM stands out by offering tools like ‘Team Challenges,’ ‘Wellness Coaching,’ and a unified ‘Dashboard’ that aggregates health data and presents it in an actionable, user-friendly format. These features not only support employee well-being but actively encourage engagement, fostering a culture of health within organizations. AHM’s commitment to accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA standards) and its ability to scale for diverse populations makes it a unique and valuable tool for companies looking to drive employee engagement, improve wellness, and support a healthy work environment.

Measurable Impact and Success

The ActiveHealth Management platform has made a significant impact on employee engagement, driving improvements in key metrics like session count, session duration, participation regularity, registration, and overall satisfaction. AHM is designed not just to track health data but to motivate employees to take an active role in their well-being, making it a highly effective tool for driving engagement within the workplace.

Notable outcomes include increased participation and usage, with features like ‘Team Challenges’ and personalized ‘Wellness Coaching’ leading to higher levels of engagement. The platform’s unified dashboard further incentivizes employees to prioritize their health, offering them a comprehensive view of their wellness journey. By meeting WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards, AHM ensures inclusivity, making it usable for a broader audience, including those with disabilities. Seamgen’s iterative development process, which included stakeholder feedback and continuous UX testing, has helped refine the platform, resulting in a more robust and scalable solution for improving employee engagement and well-being.

Creative Elements and Execution

Seamgen’s creative execution of the ActiveHealth Management platform showcases their expertise in combining human-centered design with technical innovation. One standout feature is the development of a modular Enterprise Design System, which not only ensures a sleek, responsive interface but also enables faster prototyping and iteration. This system maximized efficiency and allowed Seamgen to quickly respond to user feedback, resulting in a design that was both functional and aesthetically engaging.

The transition from a monolithic system to .NET Core microservices and a dynamic React frontend was a technical challenge that Seamgen met with creativity and precision. They used a parallel development strategy, initially developing components with mock APIs, to maintain project momentum while integrating the platform with existing iOS and Android apps. The result was the timely delivery of new modules, such as ‘Team Challenges’ and the enhanced ‘Dashboard,’ which significantly improved the employee experience. Additionally, the platform’s storytelling elements, like ‘Wellness Coaching’ and ‘Knowledge Base,’ empower users to take ownership of their health, turning them from passive data recipients into active participants in their wellness journey. This unique combination of design thinking, technical expertise, and user-centric features directly contributed to the platform’s success in driving employee engagement.

Overall Excellence and Industry Advancement

The ActiveHealth Management platform sets a new benchmark for employee engagement software in the digital health space. Seamgen’s ability to modernize an outdated system while maintaining a focus on engagement and accessibility is a testament to their excellence in both design and technology. The platform’s successful transition to a modern .NET Core microservices architecture, coupled with its user-friendly React frontend, has positioned it as a leading tool for employee engagement, particularly within healthcare organizations.

AHM’s impact is evident not only in its improved engagement KPIs—such as session count, duration, and member satisfaction—but also in its ability to foster a culture of wellness within organizations. Key milestones, such as the development of the ‘Team Challenges’ feature and a more inclusive user experience through adherence to accessibility standards, have made AHM an indispensable tool for companies seeking to improve employee engagement and overall health outcomes. Seamgen’s innovative approach has set a higher standard for what employee engagement software can achieve, positioning AHM as a frontrunner in the industry.
