Alight added two new companies, Hinge Health and Quit Genius, to its partner network to, in its words, “offer the support and resources today’s workers need to address specific care needs.”
Both Hinge Health and Quit Genius are digital clinics. However, while Hinge Health addresses preventative, acute, chronic and pre-and-post-surgery care for musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions such as back and joint pain, Quit Genius focuses on treating nicotine, alcohol and opioid addictions.
