NEW YORK – Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC), the global leader in virtual care, today announced that its Employee Assistance Program (EAP), Wellbound received the Mental Health Innovation Award in the 2026 MedTech Breakthrough Awards.

Launched in July 2025, Wellbound is a new kind of EAP that offers a fully connected, intelligently orchestrated care experience, providing comprehensive support through a connected experience with concierge-like navigation that guides employees to the best support for their needs.

Wellbound EAP brings together the full power of Teladoc Health’s portfolio in one connected experience — online therapy by BetterHelp for individuals, teens and couples; psychiatry and medication management; self-guided resources; and seamless access to 24/7 care, primary care, and chronic condition programs. 

“Wellbound is creating a simpler, smarter, and more effective path to care,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, MedTech Breakthrough. “It empowers employees to access support easily, stay engaged with providers they trust, and improve their well-being and productivity. It delivers what today’s workforce needs most: support that is always accessible, expertly guided, and proven to drive meaningful outcomes.” 

Designed for the realities of today’s workforce, Wellbound goes beyond mental health needs, ensuring that employees can receive support across life, work, and health challenges. In addition to mental health services, the program provides access to work‑life resources, including financial, legal, career, childcare, and eldercare support, and organizational support such as critical incident response, performance issue referrals, and policy consultation, all with personalized navigation to guide people to the right support at the right moment.

“We are honored to be recognized with the Mental Health Innovation Award for Wellbound,” said Matthew Sopcich, General Manager of Multidisciplinary Care Solutions at Teladoc Health. “We are proud of the way our new EAP is helping organizations address employee wellness, unlocking greater value by making it easier for employees to find, access, and engage with the high-quality care and support they need."
