LiveWell and Polar

LiveWell by Zurich, Zurich Insurance Group’s (Zurich) health and wellbeing business, has announced a collaboration with Polar Electro, a leader in wearable sports and heart rate and health technology, with customers of both companies now able to gain access to services that will help them reach their wellbeing goals. The collaboration will initially start with six countries – Brazil, Italy, Portugal, Spain, the UK, and Ireland – and will expand to other countries in due course where Polar and LiveWell are present.

Since its inception, LiveWell has launched its services in numerous markets.
