What is Vida Health?

Vida is a digital platform that offers personalized health programs and live 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 your diabetes prevention program to your needs. You’ll choose your health coach. Your program will include helpful resources like lessons, a support group, and more, plus easy ways to see your weight loss over time. You’ll also be able to connect any fitness trackers or health devices you use.

Who is eligible for Vida health coaching through Humana Healthy Horizons in Kentucky?

Vida is available at no cost to Humana Healthy Horizons in Kentucky enrollees who are age 18 and over with prediabetes or who are “at risk” for diabetes.

What is prediabetes?

Prediabetes means having high blood sugar levels that can get worse and lead to type 2 diabetes if not treated. People “at risk” for developing diabetes also benefit from this program. Your family history, weight, age, activity levels, having diabetes while pregnant, and other factors may put you at risk for diabetes.

What kind of health coaching can I receive through Vida?

At Vida, we handpick the best coaches and health experts from across the country. Whether you’ve been told you have prediabetes, are “at risk” for developing diabetes, or want to develop healthy habits and stick to them, our coaches can support you at every stage of your health journey.

Can I participate if I have diabetes?

Sorry, but no. The program is designed for people who don’t yet have diabetes.

Can I choose my coach?

Absolutely. After you download the Vida Health app, you’ll follow the screens to create an account and start your Diabetes Prevention Program. Then we’ll ask you a few questions, including what kind of coaching style you’d like — for example a cheerleader type, drill sergeant, listener, or something else.

We’ll suggest some coaches who 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?

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 fits your style and goals best.

What happens to the information I provide to Vida?

All personal information that you share through Vida’s app is confidential and is securely stored in encrypted databases. Vida Health is fully HIPAA-compliant. If you wish to have your information deleted, please contact privacy@vida.com.
