Apple Health vs. Keas (Discontinued)

I would recommend it as a tool to use in addition to other fitness/health tracking tools. I use other health apps as well (C25K, LoseIt, SleepIQ, Nike Run Club). I'd say its a tool among tools - not the end all be all tool. I do think the Apple Health Ecosystem (Apple Watch, iPhone) is unmatched.

Keas would be a nice addition to a wellness program to promote health with a company's employees. The bigger the company the better. You need a bigger audience to make it more fun and engaging. However adoption is hard to accomplish within a big organization. Also you might be spending too much time on this.

Incentivized

• Steps Tracking
• Flights of Stairs
• Heart Rate
• Sitting/idle time
• Active Energy

Incentivized

• Gamification - Keas keeps track off the activities you do and includes a leader board.
• Engagement - The various activities are fun for the most part
• Easy to use and navigate.

Incentivized

• I'd like see more robust tracking of foods/diet - this is a personal request - not necessarily driven by work issues, but calorie tracking would be a nice addition.
• I find the "summary screen" to be convoluted and not compatible between other Apple Health Users - this is mainly due to differences in generations of Apple hardware.
• I'd like to see a universal comparison of days for all metrics (Active Energy, Steps, Calories burned etc.

Incentivized

• The various tasks can get repetitive.
• There should be caps in place for the amount of activity you can do to earn points.
• More variety of activities on the site would be a good addition.

I've used Garmin and Fitbit - admittedly it's been a long time and those were early generations of a product - but the Apple Health devices that are available in todays climate are far superior to those initial devices that served very limited roles (only steps tracking). The heart rate monitoring/active energy calculations/etc all blow those early devices out of the water.

Keas has an interesting and unique product, I don't think there's too much competition in the space that directly competes with Keas. It's something you either implement or you don't. Overall the hardest part is driving adoption within your company and keep them using it. Like all programs, there might be good momentum early on but users will fall out.

Incentivized

• Apple Products are inherently expensive - but for the most part employees are motivated to pay for them.
• From a business perspective, we pay for the Apple iPhones, but the Apple Watch is left to the employee
• I think that it improves employee moral when comparing and having a healthy competition between employees.

Incentivized

• Good little break from work
• Employee engagement
• Health benefits
