Foresters is a different kind of life insurer. As a fraternal organization, its mission is to enrich the well-being of its members and their communities, which has been its driving force for over 146 years. This initiative with dacadoo will bring the Foresters mission to life with a modern, fun, and scalable offering to members that aligns with the organization’s fraternal purpose.
“Many Insurtech platforms in the market today focus on the physical and mental aspects of health, but they don’t address the importance of purpose and giving back to your community, which has powerful well-being benefits,” said Jim Boyle, President and CEO of Foresters. “Our platform will integrate all of these aspects and stands out because we’re making it available to all of our members, not just the new customers.”
For the Everyday HERO
The Foresters dacadoo platform leverages wearable app-enabled technology and behavioral science to engage with members on a personalized basis. An interactive digital coach encourages users to engage with the platform, and each other, to drive long-term health goals and encourage giving back. Members will earn points for engaging in their personal journey, which they can redeem for rewards via an online rewards store. Reward categories will include merchandise (tablets, smart watches, and more), gift cards, or charitable donations. The reward choices number in the thousands.

Peter Ohnemus, President and CEO of dacadoo, said, “We are pleased to enter into this relationship with Foresters, our first partner that is a fraternal life insurer, and look forward to providing world-class solutions customized to their members.
