Vielife

Vielife, stylized as vielife, is a provider of health products mainly focusing on sleep, nutrition and physical health.

History
Vielife provides on-site health assessments, personalized reports and coaching, and lifestyle management services to help organizations monitor and improve the health and well-being of their people. Vielife started as part of the Institute of Biomedical Sports et Vie (IBSV), which was set up in France in 1989 by Dr. Francois Duforez. Bertrand Faure Beaulieu acquired a majority stake in 1998 and Vielife was launched in London in 2000.

In 2006, Vielife acquired Business health UK Ltd, a UK-based health and wellbeing consultancy. Later that year Vielife was acquired by the international insurance provider, CIGNA; following the acquisition, Vielife continues to operate as an independent, stand-alone business.
