SAN DIEGO, CA, November 18, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- MediKeeper, a leading provider of wellness portals to healthcare providers, health plans, wellness companies, TPAs, and corporate employers, today announced its annual list of emerging trends in the Employee Wellness market for 2026.

According to Dr. Tyler Amell, Chief Health and Strategy Officer, "The workplace wellness landscape is rapidly evolving. In 2026, organizations must address not only rising health costs and persistent mental health challenges, but also the impact of AI, digital health tools, and the ongoing need for diversity, equity, and inclusion."

The trends for 2026 are:
• Adverse Mental Health Reaching Crisis Levels. The mental health of the working population continues to deteriorate, with stress, anxiety, depression, and burnout now affecting approximately 25% of U.S. workers.
• Artificial Intelligence (AI) Applications Getting Better. AI tools are rapidly advancing, with applications in workplace health now commonplace. The focus for 2026 is on AI's positive potential, especially in digital health coaching and biometrics.
• More Evidence-Informed Strategies Required, But Not Where You Think. The proliferation of misinformation and disinformation poses new challenges for workplace wellness. Employers must not only support healthy behaviors but also combat anti-science movements and campaigns against preventive health practices.

The trends identified by MediKeeper are based on data from over 1,700 client organizations and 10 million covered lives, as well as market analysis and published research. Full details of the report can be found here.
