SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Whil, the leader in digital health, wellness, and leadership training for businesses and consumers, today announced the widespread availability of its technology platform. According to data from the U.S. National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, approximately 90 percent of doctor visits are for stress-related issues. Whil's science-driven approach helps business professionals and consumers effectively reduce stress through more than 1,000 different mindfulness, yoga, and leadership training sessions from world-class industry experts.
Whil recently secured $15 million in angel investment, which has allowed the company to segment its technology into three separate training tracks:
"Stress is the leading cause of illness, costing the U.S. economy $300 billion annually," says Joe Burton, CEO and Founder of Whil. "Whil's technology was created to help reduce stress-related diseases around the world by leveraging the substantial evidence behind proven techniques like mindfulness training to build resilience. It doesn't matter if you're a driven professional looking for new ways to improve your health, focus, and performance or a teenager overwhelmed with the pressures of daily challenges. Whil has a mobile training program to create sustainable habits to get the most out of life, while tracking your progress over time."
More than 300,000 individual consumers are already using Whil's various programs and companies like Microsoft, Havas, Ogilvy, eBay, and Progressive Insurance are tapping Whil to help employees live happier, healthier, more engaged lives.
