The company will deploy approximately 4,100 higi Stations beginning in the second quarter of 2014 and projects completion of the rollout by early 2015.
The higi platform allows users to measure their weight, BMI, pulse and blood pressure with the additional ability of having the data securely stored in an online account for ongoing reference and progress comparison, according to a news release.
"Rite Aid is pleased to be the first national drugstore chain to select a health station provider like higi," said Dan Miller, Rite Aid's SVP of Pharmacy. "Higi was chosen because of the high quality, ease of use and effectiveness higi Stations offer, which ultimately supports Rite Aid's long-term commitment to provide access to great health and wellness tools for our customers and associates."
