Problem
Boubyan Bank aimed to launch a digital initiative that promotes healthier lifestyles while supporting healthcare-related charitable causes. The challenge was to create an engaging mobile platform that motivates users to stay active, track their daily progress, and transform their physical activity into meaningful social contributions.
Solution
We developed Boubyan Steps, a cross-platform mobile application for iOS and Android that converts daily walking activities into contributions toward healthcare initiatives. The app enables users to track their steps, set personal fitness goals, compete through leaderboards, and gain valuable health insights.
To ensure a seamless user experience, the platform integrates with popular health and fitness applications, allowing accurate activity tracking and synchronization across devices. Through gamification and social impact features, the application encourages long-term user engagement and healthier habits.
