  2. Set your preferences for how frequently and from which health categories, you would like Hunter to provide you with tips.
  3. Embed healthy habits into your day.

Accessibility and Personal Perferences

  1. Hunter works with screen readers such as Windows Narrator, NVDA, and JAWS.
  2. The option of having Hunter “bark” when he appears can be disabled for those who prefer the standard Google “chime”.
  3. Pick and choose the health categories that work best for you.  Users can change their preferences at any time!

Why was Healthy Habits with Hunter created?

Healthy Habits with Hunter was created for several reasons:

  1. To foster an environment where employees* can disconnect from work, in support of the Mental Health Action Plan.
  2. In response to feedback that employees enjoy attending events/workshops to receive health information but cannot always attend. Now, health tips are readily available.
  3. To support employees transitioning back to work after a leave.
  4. *From the suggestion of our FBIT Capstone student teams, students are also invited to use Healthy Habits with Hunter to support their well-being.
