Singapore govt to pay citizens for keeping healthy with Apple Watch

Apple and the government of Singapore have partnered on a two-year health initiative dubbed LumiHealth, which is built around tracking and rewarding user behavior through the Apple Watch gadget and an iPhone app.

As part of the scheme, Si­ngapore residents will be able to earn as much as $280 by completing goals and tasks set within the app. Goals can be accomplished by walking or doing other exercises like swimming or yoga, and Lum­iHealth will offer personalised coaching and reminders for health screenings and im­munizations. Wellness challenges will nudge users towa­rd making better food choices and improving sleep habits.
