Estep Trial

LOGIN IS REQUIRED TO ACCESS TO THE CONNECT, DAILY STEPS, AND CHALLENGES PAGE.

MESRC has received a number of feedback from members to consider other mobile apps besides Pacer for future step challenges. We are currently conducting a trial to synchronise participants' fitness activities (e.g. steps count) from various mobile applications on both IOS and Android. We are targeting to retrieve the daily steps from Pacer, Fitbit and Google Fit.  

The objective of this trial is to test the reliability and efficiency of the different mobile app providers. The findings will be useful to us for future step challenges.

Please take note that the steps obtained during this trial will NOT be used for the current Sports for Life Million Steps Challenge (SFL MSC). The steps for the SFL MSC will be automatically retrieved from Pacer via the backend system directly from Pacer.

  • You are invited to login and connect with Google Fit, Fitbit and Pacer. (Do try all 3 apps if you can).
  • Once, connected your steps will initially be synchronised from 1st Nov 2020.
  • After that, steps from the day before will be automatically synchronised by 8.00am daily.
  • All steps must be obtained from the mobile phone sensor or synchronised to the mobile app by external fitness trackers. Manual input by users will not be counted.

Feel free to connect with us via the "Support Link" or email to us at [email protected] if you encounter any issue, or if you have any suggestions.
