To encourage members of the public to pay attention to their health, the Department of Health held a launching ceremony and carnival for the "Action Plan on Weight Management x 10,000 Steps a Day Walking Challenge" at the West Kowloon Cultural District on 21 March 2026. By walking 10,000 steps a day, citizens can incorporate physical activity into their daily lives, better manage their weight, and promote the popularisation of healthy living.

Citizens can simply download the eHealth App, log in to the "e+Life" platform, and synchronise their mobile device's step count to the platform to check their daily steps and progress any time. The platform also features various thematic walking routes, as well as functions for displaying personal records and friends’ step counts, allowing the public to remind and encourage one another. This makes exercise an enjoyable activity that easily fits into daily life, while accumulating health coins to redeem exquisite gifts.

eHealth also set up a booth at the event to encourage citizens to register on-site, download the eHealth App, and log in to the "e+Life" platform. Visitors could also have their height and weight measured, which attracted many enthusiastic participants and put healthy living into practice.
