Wellness & step challenges

Six weeks of steps, streaks and team targets, synced from the phone.

Teams walk towards a shared target with steps synced from Apple Health or Health Connect, daily streaks, badges, team rankings and eligibility rules that keep it fair, and a daily breakdown for everyone.

FAQ

Questions about wellness and step challenges

Which trackers does it support?

Steps come through Apple Health on iPhone and Health Connect on Android. Watches that write to those apps are counted; we do not connect to Fitbit or Garmin directly.

How do you stop a few people carrying a team?

With rules. HSBC’s challenge counted a team’s day only if it reached a minimum total and had at least 20 active members, so every team needed most of its people walking.

Is health data shared with the employer?

The app asks only for step data, and only with the person’s permission on their phone. Organisers see steps, streaks and rankings, nothing else.

How big can it get?

HSBC’s Wellness Expedition ran for 45 days with 600 participants in 15 teams of 40.
