What is Evidation?
Evidation (formerly Achievement) is a free health app that “aims to create new ways to measure and improve health in everyday life.” Specifically, it allows you to earn Program Points by taking healthy actions like walking, running and connecting health apps.
How Does Evidation Work?
Simply sign up and begin earning cash by: answering questions about your health and health goals; and having your activity tracked via one of 17 different health apps, with FitBit, Garmin, Google Fit, MapMyFitness and Apple Health being representative examples. If you like, you can also choose to participate in cutting-edge research that aims to improve health.
You can earn up to 100 points per day for the healthy actions tracked by your health app(s)/wearables, and by reading articles, taking surveys, joining health programs and participating in research studies.
Additional activities that earn points include (but are not limited to):
- Tracking your blood pressure
- Tracking your glucose level
- Tracking your heart rate
