In January, Solon wellness business Be Well Solutions announced the rollout of an app designed to help its client organizations connect with employees and encourage healthier habits via a 12-week weight-management and lifestyle program. Weigh of Life is the 16-year-old company s first foray into the 8-million-unit app space, but the timing couldn t be more appropriate, said executive vice president Bill Frankel.
