Blue Zones Digital Experience

Blue Zones Activate aims to ignite transformation through systems change. We work to improve the health and well-being of your community by enacting policies that make it easier and safer to move naturally and create better access to affordable, healthy foods. Policies alone cannot transform a community; individuals need to be engaged and educated. These free Blue Zones digital tools are designed to engage your community, meeting individuals where they are in their transformation journey.

Developed in conjunction with the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, the Blue Zones True Vitality® Test predicts life expectancy age based on an individual’s current lifestyle and environment.
