01 / How it startedPeople first

Small steps.
Shared momentum.

SJTU-Health began in May 2015 with a group of enthusiasts, supported by the SJTU Faculty and Staff Union.

Thousands of faculty, staff, alumni, and students have benefited from sustained outdoor activity—sometimes through personal discipline, and often with the encouragement of fellow community members. The project turns a daily step goal into a durable social habit.

02 / How it worksA living system

Set a goal

Weekly or monthly activities invite small groups to reach daily or accumulative step-count goals.

Move together

Phone and wearable data syncs to the platform. Individual and team fulfillment updates in real time.

Keep going

Team leaders share updates, communities form, and energy points reward meaningful progress.

The incentive loop

5,00010,00015,000…

Each milestone unlocks one energy point. Points can be exchanged for small gifts in the SJTU gift shop.

03 / What has changedOutcomes

Active by habit

Members developed an active and self-disciplined lifestyle, with sustained increases in everyday physical activity.

Supported by community

A shared belief emerged: an active lifestyle benefits everyone, regardless of age, gender, occupation, or health condition.

7×The SJTU walking team has championed a nationwide competition seven years in a row—with close to 100% fulfillment each time.
