Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
eWellness Healthcare Corporation, OTCQB: EWLL (the “Company”), announced on February 14, 2019, the Company’s Canadian operations (PHZIO Canada) signed a Partnership Agreement with WW Canada (formally Weight Watchers), that has approximately 250,000 active members, wherein PHZIO Canada shall provide WW members (through a voucher) with “Movement Check-in’s” to 1,000 WW members as part of their “WellnessWins” rewards program. This initial “Pilot Program” will be used to assess the effectiveness of the PHZIO Wellness Checkin’s to be a successful digital tool to assist WW members to get more fit and healthy. Members will be creating patient profiles on our PHZIO system and will be able to receive any of the Company’s digital physical therapy (“PT”) or fitness programs at prices ranging from $99 to $499.00 per year. These trail Movement Checkin’s are provisioned to WW members for free but are valued in the agreement at a price of $99.00. If the trial is successful then a broader partnership agreement with more of WW’s 5 million global members may be instituted. This partnership program is expected to be launched in the next 30 days.
This cohort of new patients are typically challenged by excess weight and have a higher incidence of joint pain. The Company believes there is sound evidence that our PHZIO programs can motivate patients to become more fit and healthy. Attached are links to three studies on the topics of chronic pain and obesity.
