Setting your goals in the Vida app is a core part of tracking your progress and letting your coach know how your wellness plan is going. However, the goal options available to you may be limited based on the specific health program and benefit coverage you are enrolled in (e.g., Medical Weight Loss or Diabetes Management).
Settings & Tracking Goals in the Vida App
If your primary goal is different from what you expected , please know this is usually intended and correct. Your main goal is automatically set to align with the primary clinical objective of your health benefit.
What This Means for Your Care
-
Program Restriction: If you are enrolled in a program focused specifically on diabetes, the app will only display the "Decrease A1c" goal to reflect the requirements of your coverage.
-
No Impact on Care: Even though the app only shows one goal, your entire care plan with your coach and provider will always include Weight Loss as a key component of your treatment for diabetes management.
-
Accuracy: This setting ensures that the treatment and prescribing guidelines you receive are fully compliant with your specific health benefit.
If you believe there is a technical error because your current goal seems completely unrelated to your program, please reach out to our Support team so we can review your account settings.
