Long wait times at traffic lights discourage people from walking! Wait times are even worse in regional Australia (in my opinion), add in some heat, waiting in the full sun for the lights to go green…feels like eternity! 🥵 abc.net.au/news/2023-09-2…

💡Investing in health promotion is a smart strategy. Australia spends less than 2% of all health spending on prevention. We call on all Australian governments to commit at least 5% of the health budget to health promotion & illness prevention. healthpromotion.org.au/images/Advocay… #ActOnNCDs

@CorneelVDL @CamilleShort_au @mitchjduncan @SBMDigitalHlth @isbnpa_emh Hey @CamilleShort_au - it’s an ever changing world managing tracker integration. We’ve got experience in mobile app and website integration. Happy to chat more if you like?

@CamilleShort_au @mitchjduncan @SBMDigitalHlth @isbnpa_emh Hi Cam, we can afford 2 for the app we currently developing and going with Fitbit and Apple Watch (but also Apple Health and Google’s Health connect…which aren’t devices but can grab data from many devices). I love Garmin, but no go due to technical reasons and limited adoption.

Ok brains trust-I'm after advice re integrating #wearables into website for exercise monitoring. I assume I can only afford 1 (fitbit, Garmin, Apple, Google..). Any 1 weighed up the cost, reach, security trade offs etc? @CorneelVDL @mitchjduncan @SBMDigitalHlth @isbnpa_emh

Great messages from Liz @heartfoundation! Work out what you are doing now and start moving move throughout your day! 🙌🏽 #EveryStepCouhts #EveryMoveCounts

@a_bricca Absolutely agree with all your points, but we do suggest mobile phone steps tracking isn’t the best device to use - many people do not carry their phone on them with every step, suggesting a lot of incidental physical activity is likely missed.
