We heard your feedback and we’re making some exciting upgrades to the Balance® platform! We can’t wait for you to start, continue or elevate your wellness journey with us.
A personalized experience
With a cleaner and more visual experience, you can focus on the content that matters most to you. It’s now easier to understand your personal health information, create and manage wellness goals for yourself and track your progress.
Enhanced mobile experience
The Balance® platform’s mobile design has been updated to create a better, more responsive experience on all your devices. You’ll now be able to easily track and manage your wellness journey, wherever you are.
Easier navigation
The information and resources you need are now right at your fingertips, meaning you can quickly and accurately find what you’re looking for.
Integration with more fitness trackers
You’re now able to use more wearable fitness trackers with the Balance® platform, including all trackers from Fitbit, Garmin, Misfit and Wear OS by Google. You can track your steps and sleep automatically, have them count towards your Balance® trackers and earn reward points to spend on prize draws.
Already have a Balance® profile? You don’t have to worry about losing your current Balance® points or data—all information will automatically be transferred. The only thing you’ll need to do is reconnect your Fitbit if you’ve been using a Fitbit to track your steps in Balance®.
As always, user privacy and security are top priorities for the Balance® platform. Individual user data has not been or will ever be shared with any group, whether it’s employers, the government or even Alberta Blue Cross®.
Try the new Balance® platform today by logging into the member site and clicking on “Balance®” under the “Your benefits” tab.

Balance will not sync with my Fitbit – in fact none of the tracker icons on the linking page work. Also it would have been nice to have been notified by email that we had to re-link these again – I just found it by chance.

Are you planning on adding the Apple Watch to the Balance tracker choices. So many of us have it, but do not have the option to pick it for the tracking.
Hi Dean, thanks for the comment! That’s a great question – we’ll take this back to our team to see if that is an option. Thank you, we appreciate your feedback.
Hello, has there been any update on adding the Apple Watch to the tracker?
Hi Michelle, thanks for the question 🙂 Alberta Blue Cross is currently exploring adding additional wearable technologies to our Balance trackers, with Apple products being among those evaluated.
Hello. Thank you. I am waiting on this update to happen before I invest in a tracker so hoping it is sooner than later. Appreciated.
Have you added Apple Watch yet to the list of available activity tracker?. I don’t have time to manually add my steps in every day.
Hi Ron,
We’re still working on it.
I just got the apple series seven and was disappointed to see I can’t add it. Is there a timeline yet for adding apple trackers?
Hi Shaun, thanks for your feedback. While I don’t have a timeline when it will be available, having the capability to include Apple trackers is something we have identified as an enhancement to Balance and hope to include this capability in the future.
Is there an update on Apple watch getting access to Balance yet, will this every happen? Info would be appreciated
Hi Christine. At this time, balance is not available for the Apple watch but we are hoping in the future to have this as an option.
