Key Insight

• Users want to track and be rewarded for exercising but are limited by tools’ traditional definitions of exercise.

Depth of Insight

User Needs

• We hope that users can better understand the sports they usually do. Monitor daily physical activity and reward users with incentives to do more exercise to stay fit.

User Goals

• Users hope that the software can collect more kinds of sports data, such as cycling, climbing, swimming and so on.


• At the same time, based on these achieved sports goals, get some rewards. Incentivize users to follow through with rewards.

User Challenges

• Users are encouraged to maintain exercise habits while receiving rewards, rather than disrupting the user’s fitness program or terminating the user’s fitness program.


• Some sports are difficult to measure accurately, such as weight-bearing anaerobic training, trampoline, rock climbing, etc.


• Inappropriate rewards lower users’ expectations for prizes.

• “The most successful intervention, though, turned out to be giving people the equivalent of 9 cents’ worth of reward points if they returned to the gym after missing a planned workout.”


• Through research on gym fitness, it has been found that the way to make people more involved in fitness and exercise is to give a certain amount of rewards. This method is much better than just the effects and advantages of popular science fitness.




• Most sports trackers for wearable devices are not cheap, and accurate tracking devices require users to invest a lot of money.


• If the user simply uses the mobile phone software to track the movement, it will become very inconvenient to wear and track.
