## Content

## In Short
- Medihelp is trialling an in-house wellness app called Fitt.
- Fitt is designed to reward effort, not only outcomes.
- The app tracks wellbeing across multiple dimensions, including financial, mental, and emotional health.

## What Happened
South African medical scheme [Medihelp](/medihelp) is trialling a new in-house wellness app called Fitt. The pilot is part of Medihelp’s broader effort to differentiate its member experience.

Fitt aims to reward effort across different parts of wellbeing, not just physical activity. That includes financial wellbeing, mental health, emotional wellbeing, and other areas that can affect day-to-day health choices.

In wellness programmes, “rewards” usually means points or benefits you earn for completing actions, like logging exercise, doing a health check, or following a plan. Fitt’s approach signals a wider definition of wellness, where steps like managing stress, building healthier routines, or improving personal finances can count.

The trial also shows Medihelp building more capabilities internally, instead of relying only on external partners for wellness and engagement tools.

## Why It Matters
For medical schemes, wellness apps can help reduce claims costs over time by encouraging preventative behaviour. Prevention means catching issues early, before they become expensive treatments.

A multi-dimension model also matches what many members already experience. Financial stress and mental strain can lead to poorer health outcomes, even when someone is physically active.

For the South African health insurance and digital health market, Medihelp’s Fitt pilot adds to a trend of payers investing in member-facing software. If the trial works, expect more schemes to test in-house apps, tighter member engagement loops, and more data-driven incentives.

The key question will be how Medihelp measures “effort” fairly and protects member privacy, especially when tracking sensitive areas like mental and financial wellbeing.
