No it is not the default healh app.

It is a different 3rd party app called iHealth from the app store, i use a iHealth blood pressure monitor on my phone. Previously you could link this to discovery.

I have a Bluetooth bloodpressure monitor from ihealth and it synch to my phone so i have a full record

iHealth does firness devices like blood pressure, fitness tracking ( basic), weight via connected scale, glucose etc..


See https://ihealthlabs.com/fitness-devices/

100% - all of the above from me, ignore - or read and then laugh at my silliness!

Which then explains why Samsung Health remains as well... wow that was a complete miss! Apologies all

Does the normal "health" app track your workouts and HR?

It tracks steps.

You need a fitness device like a garmin or apple watch with either a hr strap or optical hr to track a activity such as a run it cycle.

Those can then either synch to dicovery ( garmin ) or apple watch synchs to health app that synchs to discovery

If you have an apple watch does the health app track workouts and stuff. Or is the iHealth app the only one you can use for that.

So if you have an apple watch, it will sync with your iphone and the data is automatically synced with your health app (the IOS health app), this is then synced with the Discovery app, which will pull through your recorded workout

Just check your permission setting on your phone if it isn't pulling through

Apple watch tracks it, the health app is just a front end to view. You can link that front end to discovery and it will send the data ( you manually have to start and stop every activity. Steps will record automatically.

Imiheath has nothing to do with it.

Ok so the iHealth was probably discontinued because there's already an app on iOS that will work with the watch. So the apple watch benefits will still continue.

You are correct, if you had not connected iHealth by 31 Dec, you will not be able to therefore getting an iWatch serve zero value in the context of discovery and vitality points
I think this is incorrect. There's another iOS app called "health" which is still supported.

Hi All,

Who is still experiencing the 0% Discovery reward as per @StrontiumDog (2018 thread).

Also did anyone get Healthy Gear cash back in December? According to the consultant on my profile no rewards were paid in December to me either for Dischem.

Percentages have been restored it seems and initial feedback is they'll recalculate at next billing run

My vitality drive rewards have still disappeared for both my vehicles. And no response to my support request submitted a week ago...
