Inspiration
The inspiration behind WellQuest stems from recognizing the importance of promoting well-being among students, especially considering the typical neglect of self-care practices during intense academic periods.
What it does
WellQuest is a mobile application that encourages students to perform activities that improve their well-being. Students can earn points to cash in for in-app rewards through exercising, meditating, sleeping properly, and many other wellness practices. Our app rewards the little actions students neglect when focusing on their studies. Some examples of rewards are discounts at food vendors on BCIT campus, or free coffees at BCIT's cafes.
