The pilot targeting only government workers reminds me a lot of Lee Kuan Yew's various eugenics policies:

It certainly doesn't help that the app conveniently targets those between 21 to 35 years of age, which is just before advanced maternal age (also the age where single Singaporeans qualify for public housing).

  The aesthetics of it are definitely the case, but I don't see what else you would choose for a seed group for a project by government services.
