Frequently asked questions
- Can I connect my wearable? HeiaHeia supports most common wearables and can also import data from the health app of your phone. For more about importing data from other sources, please read here.
- Which data can I track in HeiaHeia? HeiaHeia users typically track their exercise, sleep and steps, on an ongoing basis. These earn you points that allow you to achieve new wellbeing levels. In addition, you can learn healthy habits from other areas of wellbeing (habit challenges, programmes and wellbeing achievements). HeiaHeia has over 600 different activities, from lawn mowing to triathlon.
- Can I participate without a wearable device? Yes. You can participate by entering your activities directly in HeiaHeia. HeiaHeia can also import your steps from your mobile phone, so a wearable is not required for that purpose either.
- Why would I import my data to HeiaHeia? HeiaHeia gives you valuable feedback based on your own data. Are you exercising according to the general healthy lifestyle recommendations? Have you had enough rest? With your entries, you can also take part in inspiring challenges and win prizes (depending on your organization's program).
- Where can I get support for technical problems? Support is available online: https://support.heiaheia.com
- How does sharing activities work? You can choose how you want your activities to be shown to others. You can add other community members as your HeiaHeia friends, and they will see entries that are not marked as private. In HeiaHeia, you can also decide whether you want to participate in your employer's individual challenges (rewarding programmes), or just be included in the aggregate statistics, i.e. a summary of the total activity of the community. You can read more about privacy here.
- Can I participate without sharing my activities? Yes, you can, it's up to you. This would mean you are using it as a private journal, and your activities would only be included in the aggregate statistics.
- Does HeiaHeia give advice on exercising or changing habits? Yes! You have access to hundreds of different types of professional content for improving your wellbeing, including topics such as Body, Mind and Better Workday.
- Who owns my data? You own your data and you can delete it from the HeiaHeia Service at any time. Please note that deleting is an irreversible action.
- What happens to my data if my employer discontinues the HeiaHeia for Workplaces service, but I would like to keep using it? You can continue to track your wellbeing with the free version of HeiaHeia, so you can keep your great achievements even if you no longer have access to the Pro version.
