Healthy 365 is no longer just the app people open when they want a few dollars of Healthpoints. It is becoming Singapore's central lifestyle platform for public-health nudges: steps, MVPA, sleep, healthier food, Healthier SG, hiSG, MediShield Life premium discounts and post-LumiHealth behaviour tracking.
That is the big story for 2026. For 2027, the honest answer is more cautious: no confirmed public mechanics for a 2027 National Steps Challenge overhaul were found. So this guide separates what is confirmed from what to watch.
| Programme | Confirmed role in 2026 | 2027 watch item |
|---|---|---|
| National Steps Challenge | Year-round steps and MVPA rewards through Healthy 365 | Reward caps and MVPA structure |
| HPB Rewards | Healthpoints wallet, vouchers, donations and selected premium discounts | Whether better-value redemption routes expand |
| Healthier SG | S$20 worth of Healthpoints after first Health Plan consultation | More personalised lifestyle links |
| hiSG | Wearable-based research study with Healthpoints and Garmin device cohort | Participant rollout and data-driven programmes |
| LumiHealth | Concluded on 31 May 2026, with users pointed to Healthy 365 | Apple Watch users fully routed through Healthy 365 |

Healthy 365 is becoming the default layer
The old mental model was simple: Healthy 365 equals step rewards. That is now too small.
HPB and MOH materials position Healthy 365 as the app for health challenges, rewards, healthier food actions, exercise bookings, Healthier SG lifestyle activities and Healthpoints redemption. LumiHealth users were also directed to Healthy 365 when the Apple partnership programme concluded.
In plain English: HealthHub is where your formal health records and Healthier SG enrolment sit. Healthy 365 is where the daily behaviour nudges and rewards happen.
2026: National Steps Challenge is always on
The National Steps Challenge has been refreshed from an old seasonal campaign into a year-round programme. Current HPB materials say eligible Healthy 365 users no longer need separate registration from September 2023.
The reward design has also shifted away from simply chasing higher step counts. The current public structure rewards 5,000 daily steps and MVPA. That aligns with Singapore Physical Activity Guidelines, which recommend 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week for adults, plus muscle-strengthening activity at least two days a week.
For the complete reward breakdown, read our National Steps Challenge 2026 guide.
2026: Healthpoints are more than kopi money now
The standard Healthpoints conversion is useful but modest: 750 points for a S$5 HPB eVoucher or 1,500 points for S$10. Points expire six months from the month they are earned, which means lazy redemption can erase the reward.
The more interesting 2026 shift is the MediShield Life premium discount pilot. MOH says residents aged 40 and above can redeem Healthpoints for MediShield Life premium discounts at 150 Healthpoints to S$2 from 18 September 2025, under a three-year pilot. That is better than the regular 150 Healthpoints to S$1 voucher rate.
This changes the advice for eligible users. If you are 40 or above and can use the premium discount, do not treat Healthpoints like bubble-tea money until you have compared the redemption value.
2026: Healthier SG feeds Healthy 365
Healthier SG is not the same as Healthy 365, but the two are connected. Healthier SG's benefits page says users can earn S$20 worth of Healthpoints after their first Health Plan consultation. Healthy 365 is also used to discover lifestyle activities and track progress toward health goals.
This is where Singapore's prevention model becomes visible. The GP creates the health plan. The app nudges the daily behaviour. The reward system gives small incentives to keep the loop moving.
It is not perfect, but it is more coherent than having a step app, food app, clinic plan and reward wallet all living separately.
2026: hiSG is the wearable-data experiment to watch
Health Insights Singapore, or hiSG, is HPB's wearable-based study. HPB says participants use a Garmin Forerunner 165 smartwatch in the current cohort, wear the device, answer questionnaires and log meals through the hiSG app. Participants can earn Healthpoints and may keep the smartwatch, but there is a S$50 deposit and a two-year commitment.
The deposit is refunded on completion. If you withdraw early, the deposit may be forfeited and you may need to return the device or pay a fee to keep it.
The important part is not only the watch. It is what HPB can learn from wearable data, sleep, activity, meals and surveys. hiSG points toward more personalised public-health nudges in future Healthy 365-style programmes.

2026: LumiHealth ended, and Apple users move on
LumiHealth, the HPB and Apple programme, concluded on 31 May 2026 after six years. HPB says more than 377,000 Singaporeans adopted healthier habits through the programme, and users were encouraged to continue on Healthy 365.
The practical takeaway: Apple Watch users should stop thinking of LumiHealth as the separate rewards universe. Healthy 365 is the ongoing route, with Apple Health supported as a tracking source where current app support allows it.
That also means Healthy 365 now has to serve a wider range of users: basic HPB tracker users, phone-only users, Garmin users, Fitbit users, Samsung users and former LumiHealth users.
What is not confirmed for 2027
I did not find public HPB documents confirming 2027 National Steps Challenge reward mechanics, tracker models, Healthpoints rates or new annual caps. So any article claiming “the 2027 rules” today is guessing unless it cites a future HPB source.
The safe 2027 watchlist is:
- Whether the 5,000-step and MVPA reward structure changes.
- Whether Healthpoints annual caps change.
- Whether more redemption routes get the higher-value treatment, like MediShield Life premium discounts.
- Whether Healthy 365 expands personalised recommendations after LumiHealth and hiSG learnings.
- Whether more third-party trackers or app integrations are supported.
- Whether sleep, food logging and family profiles become more prominent in the reward structure.
What users should do now
If you want the least effort, pair a tracker, hit 5,000 steps, add some MVPA, and set a reminder to redeem points before expiry.
If you are 40 or above, check the MediShield Life discount route before spending points elsewhere.
If you are choosing a wearable, do not buy only for Healthy 365. The HPB tracker can handle rewards. Buy a better device only if you want better training, sleep, running or smartwatch features. See our guides to fitness trackers, Garmin watches, and hidden wearable subscription costs.
If you are interested in hiSG, read the commitment carefully. A Garmin watch and Healthpoints are appealing, but two years of wear, meal logging and surveys is not a casual signup.
Why this matters for Singapore health tech
Healthy 365 is becoming a living example of public-health gamification. It combines small rewards, consumer wearables, activity goals, sleep tracking, food choices, clinic-linked prevention and insurance-premium incentives.
The best version helps people move more, sleep better, eat slightly better and stay connected to preventive care. The worst version becomes another notification-heavy dashboard people ignore.
The 2027 question is not whether HPB will keep using apps. It is whether the app can become more personalised without becoming more confusing.
FAQ
Is Healthy 365 replacing LumiHealth? HPB encouraged LumiHealth users to continue on Healthy 365 after LumiHealth concluded. Healthy 365 is an HPB programme and Apple is not affiliated with it.
Are there confirmed Healthy 365 rules for 2027? I did not find confirmed public 2027 mechanics. Use HPB, HealthHub and the app for live rules when they are published.
Is hiSG the same as the National Steps Challenge? No. hiSG is a wearable-based research study. The National Steps Challenge is a Healthy 365 physical-activity rewards programme.
What is the best Healthpoints redemption in 2026? For eligible users aged 40 and above, the MediShield Life premium discount pilot has a better conversion rate than standard HPB eVouchers.
Should I buy a new tracker for Healthy 365? Not just for rewards. Use the HPB tracker if eligible, or your existing supported watch/app. Buy a better tracker only if you want better training or smartwatch features.
