ACTIVE

Description:

The Active app is an activity tracker for use with Kersh Health's corporate wellness programs. Using the app, you can track your daily step count, your active minutes, and your calories burned. The app will also give you insight into the intensity of your activity, using three categories: Steady, Moderate, and Intense.

To use the app, you must log in with your Kersh Health wellness username (or email) and password. Each time you open the app, your activity syncs with your Kersh Health wellness account and your steps are converted into Kersh Health's proprietary activity metric, the KAM point.

FEATURES:

The main screen of the app quickly communicates your active time, steps, and calories burned. It also displays your progress toward a goal of active minutes, which are minutes only earned when your activity is at a beneficial intensity level: Steady, Moderate, or Intense. While you will accrue steps through casual movement, acquiring active minutes towards your daily target will require deliberate walking, jogging, or running.

For short-term motivation, the app tracks your 10-Minute Step Count Average to help you remember to stay active throughout the day. In contrast, for longer-term engagement, the app shows your activity history for the last five days and gives you helpful graphs to help you benchmark and improve your active minutes and daily step count.

There is also a leaderboard for others who are using the app — seeing how others are doing can bring out positive competition.

Every time you open the app, it automatically syncs with your Kersh Health account, where your steps are converted to KAM points. This syncing and conversion from steps to KAM points will allow you to participate in your company's wellness program at KershHealth.com, including your wellness incentive plan and activity challenges.

On the profile view, you will be able to update your weight and set your notification preferences at any time.

So, get out there and get moving!
