vielife started as part of the Institut 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.
Duforez began his work studying the performance of French fighter pilots. He then shifted his attention to other high performance individuals: Formula 1 drivers, Vendée Globe Sailors, and leading CEOs. From this work, vielife was born-providing personalised information on how to improve performance by focusing on sleep patterns and habits, stress management, nutrition and physical activity.
The focus on these four areas is still the cornerstone of vielife's today.
In 2006, vielife acquired Businesshealth 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.
The vielife head office is based in London, UK, with additional offices in the US.
These include:
Online services are available across the globe in 22 different languages.
vielife has done research into the effect of health promotion on employee health risks and work productivity; the development of a corporate health risk measurement tool; and the effect of office lighting on employee well-being and work performance.
In 2010, vielife was awarded certification from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) for its health improvement products. The vielife Health Risk Assessment received a two-year re-certification and a new two-year certification was awarded for its Self Management Tools.
