Aalto Wellbeing Week 2018 offers Aalto University staff and students free use of the digital wellbeing service HeiaHeia for six months!
HeiaHeia is an engaging and sociable wellbeing service created by the leading wellbeing experts at Hintsa Performance with the aim of helping you find the healthy habits that will bring you joy and energy!
HeiaHeia guides you to set meaningful wellbeing goals and helps you achieve them. Exercise, steps, sleep, nutrition: whatever your goals are, you can achieve them by doing small, repetitive things that accumulate into remarkable long-term benefits.
HeiaHeia is a sociable service based on support from your likeminded friends and colleagues. Sharing accomplishments big and small and cheering for your friends makes wellbeing fun and sociable. It also brings a positive sense of accountability into sticking to your goals.
Starting from October, you will have the opportunity to make your own wellbeing a fun and collective project for six months with other Aalto people. Join us!
You can easily download the HeiaHeia mobile app by yourself. You can find the app for iOS (iPhone, iPad), Android and Windows Phone. Log in with the code ‘aaltowellbeing2018’ at https://www.heiaheia.com/account.
