Science & Effectiveness

We're not building an app. We are building
an evidence-based platform.

Three recognised scientific models form the foundation – and every piece of content is reviewed by experts and accompanied by studies.

Determinants of health

Health literacy

Behavior change

OUR STANDARD

Safeguarded three times over - across all products

Luna App, HF Campus and HF Care follow the same quality promise.

Expert-reviewed

Every piece of content is developed and verified by specialists – age-appropriate and accurate.

Scientifically monitored

Study projects with universities accompany every product – from effectiveness to AI safety.

Independently reviewed

An independent advisory board scrutinises our direction and puts children's wellbeing first.

SCIENTIFIC FOUNDATION

Three models, one foundation

Healthyfy combines three established models into one principle – from what determines health, through competence, to lasting behaviour change.

01 · What determines health

Determinants of health

What health depends on: from personal lifestyle to the surrounding environment.

02 · How knowledge becomes action

Integrated model of health literacy

How knowledge turns into action: find, understand, appraise, apply.

03 · How habits last

Transtheoretical model

How habits form for good: in five stages.

Determinants of health

Where Healthyfy comes in

Health takes shape in everyday life. Healthyfy starts with the factors children can influence themselves – and adds the topics that matter most to them: digital media, sleep and the body. Every piece of content is created where evidence and children's real lives meet.

Health literacy

From knowing to doing

Health literacy means turning knowledge into action – in four steps.

Find

Making reliable health information accessible to children.

Understand

Making the why and how of healthy habits graspable.

Appraise

Working out what really matters in your own day.

Apply

Turning knowledge into real routines - day after day.

Behavior change

Our model of behavior change

Healthyfy follows the scientifically established Transtheoretical Model (TTM): healthy habits don't appear overnight, they develop in stages. Every stage is deliberately supported in the platform.

PRECONTEMPLATION

"What's the problem?"

Not yet on the radar.

CONTEMPLATION

"I could give it a try …"

First interest.

Preparation

"I'll start soon …"

Ready to begin.

Action

"I'm doing it!"

Actively working on it.

Maintenance

"I'm sticking with it."

Habit established.
