What is Vida Health?

Vida is a digital platform that offers personalized health programs and live, one-on-one support from an expert health coach — all through an easy-to-use mobile app and website.

When you sign up with Vida, you’ll share your health goals and preferences. Vida will use that information to tailor a program to your needs, and you’ll pick a coach to support you along the way. Your program will include helpful resources like videos, lessons, recipes, and more, plus easy progress-tracking. You’ll also be able to connect any fitness trackers or health devices you use.

Who is eligible for Vida health coaching through Advance Auto Parts?

All team members and their spouses/dependents 18+ enrolled in one of the Advance Anthem Plans that have been diagnosed with a chronic condition (such as obesity, diabetes, pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, back pain, etc.) are eligible for health coaching at no charge.

What kind of health coaching can I receive through Vida?

At Vida, we handpick the best coaches and health experts from across the country. Whether you’re just starting your health journey, training for your next marathon, or somewhere in between, our coaches can help you reach your personal goals. Here are a few examples of things we can help with:

• Nutrition, including support for specialized diets (gluten-free, paleo, vegan, keto, and more)
• Exercise and strength training, from getting started to prepping for competitions
• Coping with stress
• Improving sleep
• Managing diabetes, blood pressure, or cholesterol
• Tackling pre-diabetes or other risk factors, so they don’t lead to chronic disease
• Handling asthma or COPD
• Back pain

Can I only participate if I have a chronic condition?

Vida’s program for Advance Auto Parts is designed for those with chronic conditions. However, when you join Vida you can choose the program you are ready to focus on – whether you are looking to get (or stay) fit, lose weight, handle stress, prevent disease, manage your condition, or meet another health goal, we have expert coaches available to help.

Can I choose my coach?

Absolutely. After downloading the Vida Health app, you’ll be prompted to create an account and select your preferred program. Then, we’ll get you matched to a coach by collecting your input, including the coaching style you’d like, whether a cheerleader, drill sergeant, listener, or something else.

We’ll recommend some coaches that could be a good fit, and then the choice is up to you.

Can I change coaches if it doesn’t work out with my first coach?

Absolutely. To request a change, go to the Home screen in your Vida app, tap the gear icon in the upper right, then tap Request New Coach. You’ll complete a brief survey so we can match you with a new coach that’s the best fit for your style and goals.

What happens to the information I provide to Vida?

All personal information that you share through Vida’s app is confidential and is securely stored in encrypted databases. Vida Health is fully HIPAA-compliant. If you wish to have your information deleted, please contact privacy@vida.com.

What type of information will Advance Auto Parts receive?

Vida and Advance Auto Parts take your personal health information very seriously. Your data will only be accessible to your Vida team, and select health apps you connect to Vida. Vida will NOT share your participation, results, or any personally identifiable health information with Advance Auto Parts.

Can I connect other health and fitness apps/devices to my Vida account?

You can! Connecting your fitness tracking apps and devices to Vida is a great way to stay on track with your health goals. We support integrations with 100+ apps and devices, including:

• Fitbit
• Garmin
• iHealth
• Jawbone
• Runkeeper

If you were using a device previously provided by Livongo, you will not be able to pair with Vida as it is specific to the Livongo programs. However, once you enroll with Vida, talk to your health coach and request a new device for the Vida program.

How do I connect a 3rd-party app or device to my Vida account?

2. Log into the Vida app.
3. Go to the Home screen, tap the gear icon in the upper right, then tap Connect Devices & Apps.
