Feature Highlight: Microsoft Health’s New People Like Me Leaderboard Profiles

Announced as part of the May 2016 update for the Microsoft Band, but available about a week before the rest of the new features launched is a couple new leaderboard profiles.

They are:

  • People Like me (age, gender, and BMI)

  • People Like Me (top 25%) (daily steps and cardio minutes rank in the top 25th percentile)

These new profiles show up in both the Steps and Cardio minutes leaderboards.

I noted recently that my wife actually scooped me on this originally. I totally blanked on the new profiles until the wife asked me what they were.

The new profiles provide new ways to encourage Band owners to do better and push a little harder to reach the common level percentile maintained by their friends via the Facebook/Health connected account.
