What is Vida Health?

Vida is a digital platform that offers personalized health programs and live, one-on-one support from an expert health coach — all through an easy-to-use mobile app and website.

When you sign up with Vida, you’ll share your health goals and preferences. Vida will use that information to tailor a program to your needs, and you’ll pick a coach to support you along the way. Your program will include helpful resources like videos, lessons, recipes, and more, plus easy progress tracking. You’ll also be able to connect any fitness trackers or health devices you use.

Who is eligible for Vida through Dassault Systemes?

• A benefits-eligible 3DS U.S. employee, even if you’re not enrolled in a 3DS medical plan

Your spouses and domestic partners are eligible to use Vida’s services at no charge through your employer benefits. Spouses and domestic partners should use their own name, email and DOB to enroll.  If asked for Employee ID, then they should use the employee’s information.

Whole Health: Vida’s Cardiometabolic Care gives members with chronic conditions—like diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol— the right care team and tools to improve their condition.

Can I only participate if I have a chronic condition?

No. Whether you want to get (or stay) fit, lose weight, handle stress, prevent disease, manage a chronic condition, or meet another health goal, we have expert coaches available to help.

Can I choose my coach?

Absolutely. After you download the Vida Health app, you’ll be prompted to create an account and choose your preferred program. Then we’ll ask you a few questions, including what kind of coaching style you’d like — a cheerleader type, drill sergeant, listener, or something else.

We’ll recommend some coaches that could be a good fit, and then the choice is up to you.

Can I change coaches if it doesn’t work out with my first coach?

Absolutely. To request a change, go to the Home screen in your Vida app, tap the gear icon in the upper right, then tap Request New Coach. You’ll complete a brief survey so we can match you with a new coach that’s the best fit for your style and goals.

Can I change programs?

You can message your coach to request a program change if your current program no longer aligns with your health goals.

Is there a limit on how many programs/weeks I follow during the year?

You can enroll in one program for the body and one for the mind at a time. For instance, you could enroll in both the Weight Loss and Resilience programs simultaneously. Each program has a predetermined number of weeks required to reach your health goals. Typical cadence is as follows:

Exercise, Nutrition, Sleep, Resilience, Stress, Quit Smoking, Asthma, COPD

Diabetes Prevention, Weight Loss, Whole Health

I have a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) or a Glucometer. Can I sync data from these devices to the Vida app?

Yes, you can! Check with your coach to learn how to set up your CGM or Glucometer with the app.

What happens to my Vida profile if I terminate employment/become ineligible?

When you lose eligibility for Vida from your sponsoring organization, you are no longer able to meet or interact with a provider to progress with your program; however, you continue to have full access to your Vida account and program content, along with several features such as metric tracking and habit logging.

What happens to the data synced to Vida using different devices when I terminate employment/become ineligible?

After losing eligibility, you can continue tracking your metrics using the Vida app. If you no longer wish to sync your metrics with Vida, you just need to open the Vida app and disconnect your device from your settings. Vida collects data in accordance with the privacy policy and terms of service agreement you agreed to at the time of onboarding.
