I'm really curious because the company in question is mine and I'll be working on this project. The article, of course, really kind of butchered everything, got the name wrong (C3PO is a different internal project), and kind of glossed over the fact that is all voluntary...but I do understand that there are questions to be asked surrounding health info + employers. It has the potential to be fraught. On the other hand, we're trying to build a very participatory culture and trying to "do good" reinforcing positive actions by feedback mechanisms. We're just starting and going to be prototyping stuff, so nothing set is stone yet, but yeah, I think it will be very interesting.
