How Do I Earn Wellable Points?

Learn how easy it is to earn Wellable Points in the The Arc of Washington County Candy Corn To Candy Cane Challenge! Tracking steps is a great place to start. If you are not currently using an app or device to track your activity, the Wellable app allows you to automatically track steps from your phone through Apple Health or Samsung Health (the recommended free apps for iPhone and Android users, respectively). Download the Wellable app and follow the instructions below to get started!

Wellable App For iPhone
After signing in to the Wellable app with your Wellable username (email address) and password, go to the Connections page and follow the prompts to connect Apple Health.

Wellable App For Android
After signing in to the Wellable app with your Wellable username (email address) and password, go to the Connections page and follow the prompts to connect S Health. Please note that if S Health is not pre-installed on your phone, you will need to do this prior to connecting it to Wellable.

How Do I Track Nutrition?
When enabled, nutrition can be tracked in Wellable through one of Wellable’s partner apps or by manually logging these activities in a Wellable User Account from the Dashboard. If you already use a mobile app to track your nutrition, you can connect it to your Wellable account on the Connections page.

How Are Teams Ranked?
Teams are ranked by the average number of Wellable Points for all members of that team.  This means that teammates with zero Wellable Points during a challenge will lower the score of the entire team, which is why encouraging your teammates to stay active throughout the challenge is so important!  The Leaderboard will default to team rankings, but you can see how you rank as an overall individual or as an individual on your team by selecting a new view under the options menu.

How Do I Connect An App Or Device To My Wellable Account?
You can check out the full list of apps and devices eligible for the challenge on the Connections page.  If an app or device is not available for use in the challenge, that option will be grayed out.  Below are the instructions to connect an app or device to your Wellable account.

1. Go to the Connections page.
2. Select Connect below the app or device you would like to connect to your Wellable account.  You must first have an existing account or create one for the app or device you would like to use prior to connecting it to Wellable.
3. Follow the prompts, which will require you to enter your app or device credentials.  This will be your username and password for the app or device account, not your Wellable account.

 

How Do I Log Trivia Challenge Special Activities?
You will automatically be awarded Wellable Points after completing each Trivia Challenge.  To earn Wellable Points, the Trivia Challenge must be completed during the challenge, not before or after.  You can only earn Wellable Points once for completing each Trivia Challenge.  You will receive a confirmation that you’ve earned Wellable Points after completing a Trivia Challenge and be able to see your Wellable Points on your Dashboard.

Why Are The Steps On My Device Not Showing In Wellable?
Wellable syncs data from your wearable device app, not the device itself.  This means that the activity you see on your wearable device may not appear in Wellable because your device has not synced with your device’s app.  Depending on your settings, this will be done manually or occur periodically throughout the day.

To confirm that your device is synced correctly with your device app, please follow the steps below.

1. Open your device app and make sure the activity on your device matches the activity you see in the device app.
2. Refresh your Dashboard to see the activity from your device in Wellable.

If you still do not see activity from your device app in your Wellable account, do not hesitate to reach out to Wellable Support!
