What’s new for 2025
Exciting things are happening with BeWell in 2025! We’re making changes to better support your health and wellness while keeping the same great program you know and love.
Platform updates
We’re introducing new ways to meet your holistic needs and stay motivated with your goals. Starting in January, you’ll find new topics of interest and Daily Cards tailored to the Stanford community, offering fun facts and helpful tips to keep your well-being front and center. Journeys – customizable, concrete steps toward a wellness goal of your choice – and university-wide quarterly challenges will also be added to the platform, giving you more ways to earn points anytime, anywhere, and celebrate your progress throughout the year.
Event updates
Some of your favorite BeWell events are getting a refresh, too. The Cardinal Walk will take place earlier in 2025, on May 20 instead of August, so mark your calendars! Pedal Together (formerly Bike to Work) will inspire you to explore alternative transportation and enjoy biking this May as well as encourage you to make your new-found, healthy, and climate-friendly commute a habit. The Wellness Fairs will return this fall, with fun-filled events on Sept. 24 in Stanford Redwood City and on Oct. 7 on the Stanford campus.
Champions update
We have streamlined the registration process for the Champion Community, with a dedicated landing page to make it easier for new Champions to join and sign up for activities.
Virgin Pulse has a new name: Personify Health
Our incentive platform encourages you to personalize your own path to optimal well-being, so we think “Personify Health” is a perfect new moniker. Don’t worry, while the name and look of the platform are changing, everything else you rely on will stay the same. Your activities, account information, and favorite features aren’t going anywhere – and our dedicated team will continue to support you every step of the way on your wellness journey.
Please note that with the transition to Personify Health, you should update any bookmarks you have saved in your web browser to the new BeWell SSO link. A redirect is currently in place; however, it will no longer be valid after January 2025.
Additionally, if your mobile device does not have automatic updates enabled, you will need to manually update the app via the Google Play Store for Android or the App Store for iOS devices. Once you have updated and opened the mobile app for the first time, you will be prompted to sign in using your SUNet ID.
We can’t wait to kick off 2025 with these exciting updates. Whether you’re trying something new or returning for another year with BeWell, let’s make this your healthiest and happiest year yet!
