Entrepreneur sees a business angle for software startup Emvitals in pandemic Jennifer Hunter Editor's note: This article was updated at 4 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 1, to clarify that results of the Emvitals software's assessment of an employee's emotional health are confidential and are seen only by the employee. Certainly she couldn't have anticipated it, but entrepreneur Jennifer Hunter sees a role for her nearly 2-year-old business, Emvitals Inc., in easing the emotional stresses aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic — maybe even helping people cope with the recent clash at the U.S. Capitol. Hunter, a mental health therapist by training, is building a software business that is designed as a component of corporate wellness and employee assistance programs. Emvitals is an entry point to an online wellness or employee assistance program for someone seeking help with a mental health issue. It's used to measure and track an individual's emotional health, helping both employers and employees identify and manage conditions that lead to increased health care costs, reduced productivity, absenteeism and disability.
