Commenting on the development, Neil King, president of integrated health solutions and executive vice president at LifeWorks, said: “The need for accessible and effective digital wellbeing resources has never been more critical.
“People across the globe need more self-guided care solutions that work within their schedules, lifestyle needs and ways of learning, as well as in their primary language.”
