iStep in action

What is iStep

iStep is a web based intervention developed by Sheffield Hallam University as part of the EU funded project Innovage. Its aims were to both promote and enable healthy, active lifestyles towards a reduction in levels of problematic obesity in increasingly aging populations. iStep stands for 'Intergenerational Support To Encourage Physical Activity'. The iStep tool was designed to allow a younger and an older person to form a partnerships and track their physical activity. Two people would pair up to form a dyad. They could then compete against other pairs to complete a challenge. Users of the system could see how much activity they had done, compare their progress with other dyads teams, and work towards a series of collective goals, by logging onto the on-line iStep environment.

How does iStep work?

The videos below illustrate each stage of using the iStep platform.
