The Defense Health Agency (DHA) seeks to gather information on existing, emerging, and novel approaches to address workforce wellness using biometric data. The information gathered on availabilities, capabilities, and other pertinent marketplace data will strengthen the DHA’s understanding of the current and future marketplace to enhance its ability to obtain quality services economically and to efficiently and lawfully establish potential vendor sources, listings and requirements. The DHA will not award any contracts under this notice.

The DHA is seeking comprehensive workforce wellness monitoring, biometric monitoring devices, wellbeing and recovery indicators, enterprise data analysis, and content delivery. DHA requires an all-in-one digital platform with an integrated biometric ring device to build and deliver action plans and tools to various workforce populations to address burnout, retention, etc. including both direct and indirect interventions. By building these within a single platform, the DHA will leverage data (including biometrics) across all proposed programs and domains and track data at the enterprise level. This is in addition to being aggregated and analyzed as part of the data-driven Wellbeing approach. The platform should be able to deliver the following desired capabilities:

1. Individual, group, and role-based interventions to modify behaviors such as biometric feedback programs, qualitative measures, and other vendor-developed protocols. The measures of success for all delivered programs are enhanced individual resiliency to workplace stressors, decreased medical errors, and reduced employee turnover.
2. Content delivery and communication ability for DHA-developed messaging and campaigns on a real-time basis, specific to any given hospital or location.
3. Accurate, real-time visualization of workplace wellness across all the enterprise at echelons of the DHA, including but not limited to physiological data.
4. Data intake of non-physiological data from users.
