Apple’s LumiHealth Adds Daily Mindfulness Programs And Greater Incentives For New Users

The path to a healthy life is never ending. As we age and grow, especially now living through a worldwide pandemic for two years and counting, Singapore Health Promotion Board and Apple’s LumiHealth program has helped plenty of Singaporeans live a healthier life.

Almost two years since its launch in October 2020,  the LumiHealth program has seen huge success with over 300,000 downloads and over 19 million health and wellness challenges. It has encouraged those with Low Activity, High BMI and Senior users to exercise more with their Apple Watch.

Users with BMI above the healthy range have increased their weekly exercise minutes by 44%, whilst ‘Low Activity’ user group increased their weekly exercise minutes by 88%. Seniors who participate in LumiHealth have also increased their weekly exercise minutes by 75% in the 12 month since joining the program.

But it doesn’t stop there. LumiHealth continues to adopt a holistic approach to health and wellbeing with an even wider range of challenges and feature programs. Recent introduction includes Cardiovascular Focus and Minutes to Mindfulness.

Cardiovascular Focus help participants understand their cardiovascular health better and provide meaningful ways to safeguard their heart health. As for Minutes to Mindfulness, users can learn ways to practice mindfulness wherever they are and track mindfulness sessions through LumiHealth and their Apple Watch. As part of the brand new 30-day program, users will be encouraged to complete at least five minutes of daily mindful breathing using the Mindfulness app on the Apple Watch. As usual, users can also receive specially curated mindfulness tips and reminders such as a small little reminder to incorporate mindfulness whilst talking a walk or performing chores.

As if a healthy body and mind isn’t enough of an incentive, new users can enjoy even more incentives to join LumiHealth. Starting 15 July to 14 August 2022, Apple Retail stores in Singapore will be offering a free S$40 Apple Retail gift card for those who purchase a new Apple Watch and join the program for the first time during the period of time.

In addition, current participants who refer friends and family to LumiHealth during this period will be awarded 10,000 bonus points for each successful referral, a big upgrade from the initial 2,000 bonus points in the past.

“The positive impact LumiHealth continues to have on the lives of Singaporeans demonstrates the results that can come when people are empowered to take control of their own health journey. It’s incredibly inspiring to see how so many people are making meaningful changes to their lifestyle by using iPhone and Apple Watch in innovative ways,” said Dr. Mithun Patel, Apple’s head of Health Strategic Initiatives.
