What is Vida Health?

Vida Health offers personalized health programs and one-on-one coaching through an easy-to-use mobile app. With Vida Health, you get an end-to-end program completely tailored to you and your goals. When you sign up, you have the chance to share your health goals and preferences. We use this to build a program from the ground up, just for you. The program includes your own expert health coach, easy progress-tracking, and helpful resources like videos, recipes, and more — all aimed at helping you achieve better health, in a way that works for you.

Who is eligible for Vida health coaching through eBay?

All U.S. benefits-eligible employees, their spouses/domestic partners, and dependents (18+) are eligible for Vida health coaching at no charge.

Do I have to have a chronic condition to participate?

Can I change coaches if for some reason 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.
