Wiser Health Now Integrated into Castlight Health's Enterprise Healthcare Cloud Technology Platform for Large Employers

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- WiserTogether, Inc. today announced that its personalized treatment comparison and decision support solution, Wiser Health, will be integrated into Castlight Health's (NYSE: CSLT)Enterprise Healthcare Cloud technology platform for shared employer customers.

Integrating the Wiser Health treatment comparison solution with Castlight's pioneering technology platform for employers and their employees enables employees and their families to make better-informed medical treatment decisions based on data about the comparative effectiveness of treatments, usage experiences from physicians and patients, cost comparisons among local providers, and personal preferences about care. Castlight is integrating Wiser Health through the Castlight Connect Solution Center, one of four Solution Centers that comprise the company's Enterprise Healthcare Cloud.  Users will also be able to access Castlight's cost transparency solutions through Wiser Health.

"When Castlight integrates solutions like Wiser Health into the Enterprise Healthcare Cloud, we feature it to employees and their families in a dynamic way based on each person's unique searches for healthcare information," said Dena Bravata, M.D., Chief Medical Officer and Head of Products for Castlight Health. "In doing so, we spotlight Wiser Health when and where each employee needs it. As a result, employees are more likely to use the platform and gain more value when they do."

Wiser Health is the only decision-making technology that compares treatment options using evidence-based clinical outcomes, individual consumer preferences, insurance coverage, cost and popularity of the treatment among physicians and patients in the local community.

So when consumers need to make decisions about healthcare, WiserTogether's personalized treatment comparison software enables them to choose the right treatment – most effective in outcome, most personally tailored, and most cost-effective and affordable – and share that information with their care providers. The result is improved health and reduced costs.

"We are thrilled to be working with Castlight Health to serve our common employer clients and their employees," said Shub Debgupta, Chief Executive Officer, WiserTogether. "Our solutions will provide greater value to our customers and help them better understand how their healthcare budgets are being spent and make decisions about how best to optimize healthcare benefits for their employees. With the integration of Wiser Health into the Castlight Enterprise Healthcare Cloud we will collectively provide better value to our shared employer customers and a seamless experience to their employees."
