PUML Better Health是建立在EOSIO上的一个新应用，现在在iOS和安卓系统中已经可以下载使用，这个应用主推健康和健身。PUML获得了EOS VC的资助，PUML用户在参与游戏化的激励项目之后能够获得PUML的奖励，但是用户的个人健康数据由用户自己保管。
PUML的创始人和联合CEO Damien King知道积极参与健康和健身活动有多重要。Damien有着20年的软件工程经验，之前他白天在Virgin Media工作，晚上则忙着做自己第一个成功的公司，那时候他感受到了压力。“那时候我才开始意识到，”Damien说，“我没有动力，我也没时间保持健康，我才认识到健康的重要性。”
于是他开始细思，他怎样才能鼓励人们管理自己的健康和数据。他知道，让人们健康知识问题的一部分而已；他还需要教导人们，应该在年轻的时候就重视健康，因为健康习惯早培养才好坚持。
利用EOSIO鼓励人们保持健康和见状
Damien知道，要把PUML做成区块链应用需要可靠的交易终结性和吞吐量。他对生态不陌生，毕竟2012年他就在挖矿，平台不断发展，他也一直在关注各种平台。后俩他遇到了EOSIO黑客马拉松过一个获胜者，之后他就开始在EOSIO上研究和开发应用。后来，他觉得，EOSIO是实现他目标的不二之选。不久，他决定暂停PUML的ERC-20标准奖励计划、转投EOSIO。“像我们这样的开发者需要一些大家都看得到的东西，这样才够快、反应才够迅速。我们诚挚认为，EOSIO是我们最好的解决方案，我们也完全投入其中。”
PUML鼓励大家能够改变自己的行为，促进长期健康。应用可以和一些穿戴设备匹配，如FITBIT和GARMIN，让用户能够参加一些和健康相关的竞赛，如步数排行。用户观看日常健身、呼吸训练和其它健康活动相关的健康和健身视频也能够获得奖励。
PUML发起了很多挑战，旨在让用户能够活跃参与，但又不会因此承受太多的压力。用户满足了挑战的要求之后就能获得代币。“六月份，你平均要走30万步才能获得一些代币，”Damien说，“所以，这就能有效地刺激你增加每天的活动量，但如果你偶尔没做到，也给了充分的时间补上。”
PUML还支持合作挑战，包括最近由PERKii赞助的100万步挑战，后者是昆士兰大学开发的益生菌能量饮料。
尽管PUML还在发展早期，它的测试版最近已经在澳大利亚的iOS和安卓中登录了，同时，它也已经和EOS公链集成。PUML运行得一个节点把它们的应用服务器连接到区块链中。PUML的代币奖励储存在应用内置的EOS钱包中。最新版的应用增加了社交功能，用户可以相互发信息给对方打气。
PUML还和健身房由合作，用户扫描二维码、定期利用应用参加个人挑战，这样就可以获得奖励。
“我们和健身房的合作中，如果你是新客户，那么我们其中一个挑战就是前三周你需要每周打卡3次，这样就能培养健康的生活方式。健身房也很高兴，因为它们能获得更投入的客户，这样你也会对它们产生更长久的利益。”
对企业客户来说，PUML则提供一些活动项目，通过友好竞争，让员工参与，促进健身文化。“如果你参与了企业健身计划，你就扫描二维码，你就可以看到你的工作挑战、工作兑换和市场。我们把这些挑战游戏化，产生排行榜和真实的奖励。比如，我们可以让会计部门和IT部门竞争。

PUML未来有什么计划
现在PUML的开发者在利用java版的EOSIO SDK加强安卓版应用，以增加自己的钱包。
PUML想给自己的用户基础搭建健康记录系统，并计划部署一个EOSIO侧链解决隐私问题。最终，应用能提供预测算法，用来分析数据、帮助诊断健康问题，这样就能帮助用户参与决定自己的健身问题。
未来，PUML团队还打算为应用增加一系列元素，如参与赎回系统（ROA），这个系统中，用户会因为完成挑战获得利润，但是如果他们没有满足挑战标准，他们就可能要损失抵押的代币了
接下来，PUML会和Strava集成，把用户跑步和骑车数据加入基于区块链的奖励项目中。再之后，Damien说，PUML最终能为用户提供自己的设备，“到时候，我们的系统会从可穿戴设备中直接获得数据，这些数据直接进入区块链，所以，未来这些数据不用再由第三方经手。“
在Demien的愿景中，PUML会成为全球健康和健身数据的管理库。“我们希望能成为最好的奖励应用，这样不管你去哪个健身房、不管你参与什么课程，你都能获得我们的代币。这样，你就可以在各种便利店、健身房和企业健身提供方那里使用和兑换代币。现在还没有全球通用的健身货币或者奖励系统，而我们希望自己能成为这样的系统。
利用PUML，改善健康、积累财富吧。

原文/Original：
PUML Better Health is a new application built on EOSIO and available on iOS and Android, that promotes health and wellness. An EOS VC grant recipient, PUML rewards users with gamified incentive programs where they retain custodianship of their personal health data.
Founder and Co-CEO of PUML, Damien King knows exactly how important it is to take an active role in health and fitness. A 20-year software engineering veteran, he began to feel the strain after long days at Virgin Media coupled with nights spent developing his first successful startup. “That’s where I started to realize,” Damien relates, “that it’s hard to be motivated and find the time to be healthy, and how important health is.”
The realization inspired him to take a closer look at how he could motivate people to take charge of both their personal fitness and personal data. He knew that getting people healthy was only half of the equation; he also needed to educate them on the importance of health seriously at a younger age, when healthy habits are more likely to stick.
Using EOSIO to Incentivize Health and Wellness
To build PUML as a blockchain application, Damien knew he would need reliable transaction finality and throughput. No stranger to the ecosystem, he had been mining cryptocurrencies back in 2012 and paid close attention as platforms continued to develop. After Damien met a finalist of the EOSIO Hackathon, he started researching and developing on EOSIO and finally determined the software to be superior for his purposes. Before long, he made the decision to halt PUML’s rewards program on the ERC-20 standard and move to EOSIO. “For application developers like us, we need something that everyone can use, that’s fast and responsive. We honestly think EOSIO is the best solution for us and we’re fully committed to it.”
PUML encourages people to make behavioral changes that benefit long-term health. The application pairs with wearables, including FITBIT and GARMIN, to allow participants to engage in fitness-related competitions such as step challenges. PUML also rewards users for watching educational health, fitness and wellbeing videos featuring workout routines, breathing exercises, and other healthy activities.
There are a wide range of PUML challenges designed to keep people active without overwhelming them. By meeting the conditions of the challenges, participants can earn tokens. “For the month of June you have to reach 300,000 steps as an average to receive some tokens,” says Damien. “And so that’s a great incentive to keep your daily activity up and it gives you time to sort of catch up if you fall behind.”
PUML also supports cooperative challenges, including the current 10 million step challenge, sponsored by PERKii, a probiotic energy drink developed by the University of Queensland.
Although PUML is in the early stages of development, the beta app, recently released on iOS and Android in Australia, is already integrated with the EOS public blockchain. A node, run by PUML, connects their application server to the blockchain. PUML token rewards are stored in an EOS wallet built into the app natively. The most recent version of the app has a social element that permits users to send one another messages of encouragement.
Integrating with gyms, PUML offers rewards to members when they regularly use the app to check by scanning a QR code to access their private challenges.
“With the gym, if you’re a new user to the gym, then one of our challenges is you need to check in 3 times a week for the first 3 weeks and that creates that healthy behavior. The gym is happy because they’re getting a more engaged user who is likely to have a longer lifetime value.”
For corporate clients, PUML provides activity programs that engage employees and promote a culture of wellness through friendly competition. “So if you’re on a corporate wellness plan, you scan the code, and then you see your work challenges, your work redemptions, your marketplace. We can gamify these challenges where we have leaderboards and real rewards. So, for instance, we can have the Accounts department versus the IT department.”

What Lies in Store for PUML?
PUML developers are currently using the EOSIO SDK for Java to enhance the Android version of the app to have its own wallet.
PUML intends to build a health records system for their user base, for which they plan to deploy an EOSIO sidechain to address any privacy concerns. Ultimately the application will help users play a role in determining their wellness by means of predictive algorithms designed to analyze their data and aid in the diagnosis of health issues.
In the future the PUML team is also looking to add a number of elements to the application, such as a feature that would allow a participant to earn interest by completing challenges or risk forfeiting their stake if they don’t meet the challenge criteria, a system termed Return on Activity (ROA).
PUML’s upcoming integration with Strava will incorporate running and cycling data of their users into their blockchain-based rewards programs. Ultimately, Damien says that PUML will eventually release its own device for users, “where we’re getting data from the wearable straight into our system, which would go straight into our blockchain, so you could actually avoid it touching any other third parties in the future.”
In Damien’s vision, PUML will become the global custodians for health and fitness data. “We want to be the number one rewards app so that whatever gym you go to, or whatever class you do, you’re always getting our token. So it can be used and redeemed across all sorts of retail and fitness centers and corporate wellness providers. There is no global fitness currency or rewards system right now, so that’s where we’d love to be.”
Improve your health and your wealth with PUML.
