Brooklyn & Manhattan · free for members
Daily quests you play with family and neighbors. Crews that cheer you on. And when life gets in the way — food, rent, bills, benefits — Stoop Health hands it to a real navigator and tracks it until it's done.
The demo uses a fictional member. No sign-up, nothing saved.
How it works
A 10-minute check-in on your health, habits, home and money. Skip anything. Your plan is built from it.
Small steps from your plan earn XP. Food earns the most, because it matters most. Levels come fast in week one.
Family, friends and neighbors join with a code. They see XP and streaks — never your health data.
Food, rent, bills or benefits go to a community navigator, with your OK. Track it until it's solved.
Why start outside the clinic
Medical care matters — but it's only a small slice. Stoop Health works on the rest, where you live.
Share of early deaths linked to each area: McGinnis, Williams-Russo & Knickman, Health Affairs 2002. Later studies put medical care at roughly 10–20% of outcomes. Population estimates, not a personal score.
Built on the evidence
Every game mechanic in Stoop Health comes from a published trial.

The Rivera crew · this week
Fictional crew. Goals are set from each person's own recent weeks, so a 72-year-old can top the board.

Our promises
No subscription and no betting. Crew challenges use XP only; prizes come from sponsors, never from you.
Your crew sees XP and streaks. Care teams see only what you switch on. Local businesses never see who you are.
We don't pretend an app can fix rent. We hand it to community navigators — and make sure it doesn't get lost.
