The Singapore government is known to
enjoy implementing new technologies
wherever and whenever they can,
but this might be the first them they
tried an initiative like this!
In a relatively unprecedented move,
the Singapore government announced a
2-year partnership with Apple
for 'LumiHealth', built around
tracking and rewarding healthy behaviour
using an Apple Watch and iPhone!
This comes after Apple's recent
'Time Flies' event, where the company
announced their new Series 6 Apple Watch,
which can measure blood oxygen saturation.
As part of the scheme, Singapore residents
will be able to earn as much as S$380
in rewards when they complete objectives in the app.
These include simply walking/jogging,
to doing yoga or swimming.
The LumiHealth app also offers coaching
programs, as well as reminders for individual
health needs (health checkups, etc), and will
be used to alert for the availability
of COVID-19 vaccines.
What do you think of this news?
Is this enough to make you want
an Apple Watch for yourself?
