We recently conducted a health and well-being survey with our Learners, and the results have been extraordinary. We asked 169 Learners about their experience with GetSetUp and how it has impacted their lives, revealing significant benefits in various aspects of their health and happiness.
We are proud to share that 80% of our learners consider GetSetUp a reliable source for learning about advances in health technology. This demonstrates that we are a trusted, informed, and valuable resource for our Learners to advance their health education. When asked if their opinions of their current health plan would change if GetSetUp were part of the benefits package, over two-thirds (67%) of the respondents said they would be more satisfied if their health plan offered GetSetUp as a health benefit.
One of the most impressive findings from the survey is the significant improvements in our Learners' well-being since joining the GetSetUp community. Some learners reported that their happiness scores increased by 90% compared to before they joined. Additionally, mental engagement saw an average increase of 26%, which supports better brain health and helps reduce the risk of premature dementia.
"The routes to good brain health are through our bodies (being physically active), heart health (eating well and exercising), and social activity (mentally challenging ourselves and building meaningful connections)."
Our selection of health and wellness classes has made a considerable difference in how active our Learners are. Before joining GetSetUp, only 7% of Learners rated their physical health as very good or excellent. After becoming members, that number jumped to 31%. Better physical health in later life can prevent falls, increase blood flow to vital organs, including the brain, and improve mood, helping to ward off issues like depression.
Motivation also increased by an average of 28%, with some Learners reporting a 90% improvement after joining the community. This, along with an average increase of 29% in self-development and a 25% increase in tech capabilities, supports Learners' choices to work longer, seek new roles, or take on new challenges.
Some Learners reported that their confidence improved by 100%, with over 40% rating their confidence as very good or excellent after joining GetSetUp, and none rating it as poor. Increased confidence in older adults brings vital awareness of skills and talents, allowing individuals to make better decisions and try again if they fail at first.
Deborah, a Learner who retired eight years ago, shared how GetSetUp classes have significantly improved her health:
"I began taking various classes which have now led to a steady regiment of exercising. All of the exercising has helped me to cease some of my drugs (doctor guided) without the return of my RA symptoms. My bone density level has even progressed, taking me out of osteopenia. What an achievement from exercising!"
Deborah is also thrilled with the variety of classes available to her daily:
"I am so pleased with the variety of classes that are offered and continuously changing. I have taken classes about, mid-eastern dancing, pilates, cooking, besides exercising throughout the day. All are helping me to feel occupied, healthy, and content."
When asked about the best thing about GetSetUp, many Learners shared inspirational statements. Linda said:
"The best thing is getting up in the morning knowing there will be more to learn and smile about with the new friends I’m making at GetSetUp."
Usha added:
"[GetSetUp is a] wonderful platform for learning new technology and skills in an outstanding way during our senior age."
The survey results clearly show that GetSetUp has a positive influence on many Learners, helping them be healthier, happier, and more connected. Some Learners have even been inspired to take on Masters degrees and new challenges, emphasizing the theme of self-development and being part of something bigger than themselves.
