Green Shield Canada partners with Mobio Interactive to offer Mindfulness training to plan members and dependents

August 19, 2020 -- Emerging digital therapeutics company Mobio Interactive announces partnership with Green Shield Canada (GSC) to conduct a pilot study with the evidence-based meditation app, Am Mindfulness. All GSC plan members and dependents have premium access to the app for six months to benefit from medical-grade mindfulness training, including content specifically developed for use during the current global pandemic. Am Mindfulness’s unique features enable plan members to track how each training session has specifically affected their nervous system and personal wellbeing.

Prof. Norman Farb of the University of Toronto and Advisor at Mobio Interactive commented, "Mobio Interactive was created to provide evidence-based mindfulness training to the public, removing barriers around income and geography that prevent so many people from experiencing the benefits of meditation practice. This partnership is immensely gratifying to me. It is precisely the type of large-scale initiative that the company is primed to support, and will allow millions of Canadians from coast-to-coast to engage one of the only scientifically-validated digital meditation training platforms in the world." 

Nirusan Rajakulendran, Manager of New Ventures at GSC, added, "We are extremely excited about this partnership with Mobio Interactive – and the ways it will benefit our plan members and their dependents. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to test mental resilience on a daily basis, and Am Mindfulness is a powerful tool that can relieve some of the stress that we are all feeling."

GSC plan members and dependents can obtain six months of premium access to Am Mindfulness, at no cost, through the following secured link: https://ammindfulness.com/gsc
