Five such stations have started operations in Yangpu, Fengxian and Putuo districts and received great welcome from the residents, who can check their data like blood pressure, heart beat, electrocardiogram and indicators like weight, height and body fat as well as physical testing like vital capacity, gripping power and vertical jump.
