The solution aims to keep users healthy and prevent some diseases like obesity, diabetes, and asthma, which have recently been on the rise in Africa.

Lifesten Health is a digital solution developed by a Rwandan start-up that allows users to lead a healthy lifestyle. It creates personalized exercise and diet programs for each user.

Users can register on its web platform or via its mobile app (available for Android and iOS devices) and answer several questions to allow the solution to set up a personalized profile. Based on that profile, Lifesten Health creates  "daily personalized challenges that involve activities to improve [...] diets, physical activity, and mental wellness."

Recognizing that it takes a lot of discipline to keep up with the challenges, the start-up behind the solution has come up with an incentive system that awards points to be exchanged for goods and services such as medicines, consultations, subscriptions, and even spa treatments at partner companies.  Lifesten has also developed a program to encourage employers to enroll their employees to boost their productivity.

In addition, it keeps a frequently-updated blog that discusses wellness, exercise, lifestyle, diseases, and even news related to its development.
