Green Shield Canada partners with Mobio Interactive to offer clinically-validated meditation program, Am Mindfulness

February 10, 2021 -- Green Shield Canada (GSC), now live with digital therapeutics company Mobio Interactive (MI), is delivering digital mindfulness training to its plan members and dependents across Canada. The partnership entails a pilot program involving MI’s evidence-based meditation app, Am Mindfulness. Active GSC plan members and dependents can access Am Mindfulness at no cost through a simple landing page (ammindfulness.com/gsc).

Am Mindfulness, considered a "digital therapeutic", has unique features that empower Canadians to track how each training session has specifically affected their nervous system and personal wellbeing. Dozens of professionally trained mindfulness guides deliver a vast variety of content supporting everything from cancer survivorship to leadership and habit building to stress resilience, ensuring all GSC plan members and dependents can find something meaningful. Am is available in five languages, including Canada's official languages, French and English.

Montreal therapist and ​Am Guide Dr. Julien Lacaille applauds Am's French language support, noting the dearth of effective and accessible digital mindfulness training in Quebec. "Am is a truly unique product. Through its sophisticated stress measurement technology and its high quality meditation practices, it offers the francophone population a clinically validated tool to reduce stress."

From the thousands of sessions already completed by participating plan members, clear improvements in mood and reductions in stress have been observed. The evidence for reduced stress is derived from self reports as well as the objective computer vision based quantification of stress that is unique to Am. Changes in mood are illustrated in the image below.

Nirusan Rajakulendran, Manager of New Ventures at GSC added, "As Canadians look towards another year filled with uncertainty, we are proud to provide Am Mindfulness to all of our valued plan members and their dependents.”
