Join the Fitbit Challenge
Mobile World Congress has joined forces with Fitbit, the leader in the fast-growing Connected Health and Fitness category, to offer attendees the chance to experience the effect of wearable technology. MWC attendees can experience first-hand the phenomenon of personal data tracking and see the real impact that live personal data has on activity levels by making Mobile World Congress their own fitness challenge.
During Mobile World Congress, each participant can monitor their activity, share their statistics and challenge their colleagues and Congress attendees all via their mobile device. Prizes including the HTC Fitbit phone and Fitbit FORCE will be awarded daily to the two individuals recording the highest number of steps. Don’t yet have a Fitbit? Registered Mobile World Congress attendees may use their own Fitbit FLEX devices to participate or they can purchase a Fitbit FLEX at a substantial discount. Register now for the Fitbit Challenge.
mHealth Connected Experience
Mobile health solutions are everywhere at Mobile World Congress. The GSMA Connected Living team challenge you to experience a wide range of innovative applications being demonstrated by our partners. To get started, go to the Connected City and download the map of the demonstration locations or visit the stand of any participating partner to pick up a paper copy. At each demonstration, tap your NFC-enabled phone on the mHealth Connected Experience icon to receive a clue on your phone. (There’s a solution for visitors who don’t have NFC-enabled phones, too.) When you’ve visited all the stations and collected all the clues, go back to the Connected City and enter yourself in the draw – you could win a top-of-the-line connected personal health device!
